Adam Devine
Yeah.
Blake Anderson
Yeah.
Kyle Newacheck
Oh, well. All right. Cats out of the bag.
Blake Anderson
We.
Kyle Newacheck
We just filmed a podcast episode. I didn't want to change a shirt, so I put on a jacket to act like it's a different day.
Adam Devine
Oh, wow. Okay. It's the grand.
Blake Anderson
I mean, I did the same thing. I just. I just put on a different T shirt. Yeah, the jacket.
Adam Devine
Okay. Oh, it's hot out here.
Blake Anderson
Is your office. I thought your office isn't air conditioned.
Kyle Newacheck
Is it me?
Blake Anderson
Yeah, I'm talking to you.
Kyle Newacheck
It is.
Blake Anderson
Okay.
Kyle Newacheck
All right. It is you talking to me. It is air conditioning, but, like, it gets loud and then there were people, you know, It's. You know, that's a whole thing. Hey, Adam.
Blake Anderson
Yeah.
Kyle Newacheck
Thank you for asking. I'm comfortable.
Blake Anderson
Okay. Thank God, dude. Yeah. I don't want you to be uncomfy. Yeah, I'm good.
Adam Devine
No, I'm good. It's n. The weather's, like, all muggy out here now. It's like, mosquito.
Kyle Newacheck
Is it me mugging you? The mosquitoes mean mugging.
Adam Devine
There's so many fucking mosquitoes. I hate mosquitoes.
Kyle Newacheck
Dude, have I told you guys about the mosquito thing I bought?
Adam Devine
What? Do tell me, because I need. I need weaponry.
Kyle Newacheck
I tell everybody I meet. If I ever met you, I bring this up.
Adam Devine
Okay, Please put me on.
Kyle Newacheck
It's become my new personality. Okay, there's this mosquito, kind of, like, little. It looks like a. Like a vapor. Like a vape pen. Okay.
Blake Anderson
Oh, hell yeah. Okay. Okay, Now I'm in.
Kyle Newacheck
But at the end of it, it's got this, like, blue light every day. Little blue light. You turn on that also, like, heats up. And if you hold it on a mosquito bite or a bug bite or a bee sting, it, like, zaps all the enzyme. Enzymes.
Adam Devine
What?
Kyle Newacheck
The itch is gone.
Blake Anderson
It's be gone.
Adam Devine
Fucking with me. I'm serious.
Kyle Newacheck
We're in a whole new era. How.
Adam Devine
What is this retailing for?
Kyle Newacheck
I got it for, I think, like, 29 bucks.
Blake Anderson
Or, like, are they bad? Are they bad up in L. A? Because I'm getting zero down here.
Adam Devine
They are terrible.
Kyle Newacheck
I don't know if they are on the ocean as much as, like, inland where there's, like, sitting water and shit.
Adam Devine
Yeah, mine's bad. Like, this is what I was looking for because I went to Lake Arrowhead like a couple months ago and they had these things on the tree that are bat boxes. And it's basically just like a little hub that bats know to go live in. And then at night they fly out and they eat hell of mosquitoes.
Kyle Newacheck
Do they ever.
Adam Devine
I'm like, is there any possibility that. That I could install a bat box in my home in la?
Blake Anderson
Yeah, yeah, just put a bat box up your neighbors. Will.
Kyle Newacheck
Will.
Adam Devine
I'm ready.
Blake Anderson
Will. Love you cultivating bats.
Kyle Newacheck
But they eat bugs.
Adam Devine
Well, supposedly a single bat eats 2000 mosquitoes like a night.
Blake Anderson
Let me goblin.
Adam Devine
That's a lot of gobbling, dude. I'd have like a little bat family. That'd be fucking cool.
Kyle Newacheck
I have them at my other house and.
Blake Anderson
Dude, you have bat boxes?
Kyle Newacheck
No, they're like in the eaves and.
Adam Devine
Yeah, they'll like live under your roof.
Kyle Newacheck
And you can't just zap them.
Blake Anderson
It's kind of scary a little bit.
Kyle Newacheck
Because of like just the mythology.
Blake Anderson
I love bats, but like you can't.
Kyle Newacheck
Just like spray them like with the hose. I mean you can, but like they.
Adam Devine
Come and get you.
Blake Anderson
You can't just spray them with a hoe. What do you.
Kyle Newacheck
What is it like? Because they're like a protected species or.
Blake Anderson
Something and so like they're flying in the sky. They're like. What do you mean spray them in the hose?
Kyle Newacheck
Like, cuz they. They are like in the eaves. Like a. There's like an overhang on the house and they are this little.
Blake Anderson
I thought you meant like the evening. It's like they're in the eaves and I'm like.
Kyle Newacheck
I forgot I'm. I always shorten. Y' all know, I go.
Adam Devine
They are nocturnal as well. Yes, you are correct.
Blake Anderson
That's. That's what I was thinking.
Kyle Newacheck
The overhang, like little cra. Nooks and crannies. Right. And they're burrowed up there.
Blake Anderson
Okay, now you're speaking my language. Yeah, like.
Adam Devine
Like an English muffin. Nooks and crannies.
Kyle Newacheck
Exactly. Did we saw like little dookies on the deck and I'm like, what are these? Like rats?
Blake Anderson
And then I like flying rats look.
Kyle Newacheck
Up and I can see a couple like four bats, right? And then like, then night comes and we're like, let's see if they like leave and then we can like spray like a mint spray so they don't come back. I think like 20 bats came out of there.
Blake Anderson
They love it.
Adam Devine
Oh yeah, they. They have little fuck fests. Yeah, they just be like, in a giant pile and.
Blake Anderson
Well, if you have bats, like, in your attic, aren't you kind of fucked?
Adam Devine
Is it like a rat situation?
Kyle Newacheck
What do you mean? Like, they win. They take over. You have to move out.
Blake Anderson
Yeah, they win.
Adam Devine
You have to.
Blake Anderson
They win. You have to move out. No, I think it's like a. It's like a rat situation. It's like an infestation. Really hard to get them out once they're in.
Kyle Newacheck
You just got to call, like, the bat people. But the bat people are limited about what they're allowed to do because bats are not rats where you could just, like, put a bunch of traps out and catch them. They have to, like, brutalize them, remove the bats, and, like, get, like, bees. I don't know if you guys have seen this, but, like, you can't just, like, spray the bees anymore. Or you. Maybe you can, but, like, you have to remove them because we have bees at the crib here. And the guy was like, there's probably, like, 50,000 of them. And I was like, okay, could we get rid of them?
Blake Anderson
It's science. I have little kids. I don't want them to get a thousand bee stings and died.
Adam Devine
Like, I don't want a my girl situation.
Blake Anderson
My girl, dude.
Kyle Newacheck
Thousands and thousands of dollars, they milked us dry.
Adam Devine
That's crazy. How do they. How do they remove the bees? They smoke them out.
Kyle Newacheck
With a vacuum? No, they legit vacuum them into a bag and then take them to, I don't know, fucking Honeywell or some shit.
Blake Anderson
Like Arrowhead.
Kyle Newacheck
Yeah.
Adam Devine
Drop their ass off.
Kyle Newacheck
So the skeeter zapper is out there.
Adam Devine
Drop that to me.
Blake Anderson
Who's. Who's weirder, the bat people or the bee people?
Adam Devine
Bad people.
Blake Anderson
Right.
Kyle Newacheck
I bet they're the same. I bet there's a lot of crossover on that Venn diagram.
Adam Devine
Yeah. Bees and bats.
Blake Anderson
Yeah. Because you. You meet these people that are like. They specialize in, like, rodent control or, like, a specific, like, a bee or a bat.
Adam Devine
God bless them. God bless them.
Blake Anderson
God bless them. They are strange folks.
Adam Devine
And God bless them.
Blake Anderson
And God bless them. And God bless them.
Kyle Newacheck
I'm gonna say I haven't met a strange one yet. The most of the guys I deal with, it seems more like, I'll fucking do it. You know what I mean? And then, because they can charge whatever, because they're like, I'm going under your fucking house to get rats, buddy. Are you going under there?
Adam Devine
Yeah. Fuck that. Fuck that job. Fuck that job. I think I'd much rather be the bee Guy. Even though it looks terrifying, but you suit up and you just kind of like grab the hive and then like put it somewhere else. Like the rodent game is like you're going in fucking basements. Like nasty ass areas.
Blake Anderson
Well, you remember when we, when we lived in the workaholics house and we legit were catching dozens of rats in the attic. In the attic and in the kitchen and in the bedrooms and in the bathrooms. Every day. Every day we were where there was rat situation.
Adam Devine
We never called an exterminator, which is.
Blake Anderson
How is that even. Oh yeah, because we were like, we can do it. And it was like. It was to the point. I remember I've told this story on the podcast before, but I'm in bed with my girlfriend. She lives out of state. This is one of her first times coming spending the night at this house. She's there. I hear a rat slide underneath our door and walk on the hardwood floor. And she's like, what's that? And I go, I. I lie because I'm like, I'm not gonna say it's a rat in the bedroom. I want her to have sex with me. So I'm, I'm saying, I'm saying the, the. The plumbing. It's such an old house. It's not that old that giggle toilet 70s. I'm like, it's the plumbing. It just makes a weird rat like noise. The rat climbed up onto the bed and I felt it on the bed. I kicked it. I like kick and acted like I had like a restless leg syndrome where one leg just shoots out. I kicked it. It lands across the room, lets out a little and scurries off.
Adam Devine
So wait, wait, wait, wait. So you. So you. Instead of just saying it might be a rat, you're like, well, we have a ticking toilet. I've got this restless leg syndrome. I make little squeaking. No. Sometimes. So you.
Kyle Newacheck
That's my tummy. I'm hungry.
Blake Anderson
I don't know if she. If she clocked the. The rest cake or not. But yeah, it wasn't, it wasn't a, A great scenario that house. But it's terrifying because every. In any situation you're like, I'm going to Adam.
Kyle Newacheck
Why are you crying? I just. I'm so happy you're here.
Adam Devine
What did the rat do?
Kyle Newacheck
I'm not terrified.
Blake Anderson
Well, remember when I went out of town? I think I went out of town for like a week. And I came back and the rats had made. Remember in my bedroom, there was everywhere. On my bed, on the side of the Bed.
Kyle Newacheck
They had a party. No sir.
Blake Anderson
I don't. Like I didn't. I didn't even have. The bed was just laying on the ground and somehow the rats had gotten along the side of the bed and.
Adam Devine
1 million everywhere was everywhere. It was under your laundry. It was like. It was bad.
Blake Anderson
It was like in my laundry. I had to wash everything. It was bad. Well, and by the way, I don't even think I did.
Adam Devine
No, I think she went straight to the improv and got on. Fucking killed it.
Blake Anderson
Yeah, yeah. I think I was too lazy to do all the laundry.
Adam Devine
Is bat shit like the little pellets like rat. Is it like a wet, wet doo doo. What is bat shit look like? How do we identify their scar?
Kyle Newacheck
I feel like one or the other has like a pinch. I think that the mouse like mouse. Rat poop has a little pinch at the end of it.
Adam Devine
Yeah, yeah.
Kyle Newacheck
And bat. It does not. They're very similar.
Blake Anderson
This is important.
Kyle Newacheck
And by the way, filmed this the other day in my backyard. What do we got here when it was about to rain? Daytime rat.
Adam Devine
Oh, hello.
Blake Anderson
That's a long ass tail too.
Adam Devine
That's just a rat coming out to. He's just kind of looking at like, huh, it's going to rain, isn't it?
Kyle Newacheck
Look at this guy. He's like, well, I'm going to go over here.
Blake Anderson
Look at that. Oh, my tail on that guy.
Adam Devine
Datelight rat.
Kyle Newacheck
Camel. Work's not great, Durst.
Adam Devine
Did you drop your phone? What happened?
Kyle Newacheck
It was just a little bit of Blair Witch action. Yeah, I was. Because my kid was like, let me see it. And I'm like, hang on a second. This is not helping.
Adam Devine
Is that a Komodo dragon?
Blake Anderson
Ready? Where is.
Kyle Newacheck
There he is. Look at this, look at that.
Blake Anderson
Oh yeah, there he is.
Adam Devine
Oh yeah. They're motherfucker.
Blake Anderson
Like do you remember the rat we, we caught in the office? Remember our, our office by the pool? The rat that we caught? It was like £5.
Adam Devine
It's the biggest dead rat I had ever seen.
Blake Anderson
It was several pounds but like tail was like that thick.
Kyle Newacheck
Is this Burbank or is this Van Nuys?
Adam Devine
This is Van nuts, baby.
Blake Anderson
This is Van.
Lenovo/BetterHelp Announcer
You need another four inches.
Blake Anderson
Nice guys. The workaholics house.
Adam Devine
The office, you know, like, oh, the.
Kyle Newacheck
Office of your house.
Blake Anderson
Yeah, yeah, yeah. The back. The office of the house.
Kyle Newacheck
Got it, got it, got it.
Adam Devine
Where Kyle made the Wizards album and Aliens.
Blake Anderson
Yes. Where we had a weird studio.
Kyle Newacheck
So the rats were just feasting on old crusty come like.
Blake Anderson
Yeah. Off of Kyle's Chair.
Kyle Newacheck
Yeah. They're like, dude, we're in your protein loaded. The rats are jacked on protein.
Adam Devine
That's how they got so big, dude.
Blake Anderson
They were nibbling on Kyle's office. Chair was the grossest thing where there was just like come drippy.
Adam Devine
Yeah, no, and he's not, you know, and he's not, he's not here to speak.
Kyle Newacheck
You'd be like, can I check my email? And then you, you'd see the chair zero shame.
Blake Anderson
You sit the chair. There's. It's just like a lot of dry jizz right where his dick would be.
Adam Devine
And you're like, we, and we have, we've talked about with him on this pod. So it's a green light. It's not like he's not here to, to defend himself. He knows that he had a ton of dried up Cummings all over water trash.
Kyle Newacheck
I imagine I said this at the time, but also like there's not a, there's not a towel that you can just sit on because you know, like, oh, that one time a bunch of stuff got on the chair. Whether it's a lube or jizz, it's.
Adam Devine
A lack of caring.
Blake Anderson
Well, I think it was from a previous house and he kept the same chair. I think he got better the older he got. Yes. And it was the same chair and he never cleaned it or was able to clean it because it was too far gone.
Kyle Newacheck
But it was in like a public space is the crazy part.
Blake Anderson
Yeah, yeah, yeah. At this point he did have his own room.
Adam Devine
But yes, there were some years where Kyle was living solo. He had a couple solo living years. I wish we had.
Blake Anderson
But he also, he lived in the Packard house in Mid City and that's where it began.
Kyle Newacheck
That's where I remember.
Blake Anderson
That's where he had the chair I think initially. And he had his own room. We all had our own rooms in that house. That was fudgeing fantastic.
Adam Devine
It was great.
Blake Anderson
And that's where he was doing all of his chair jizzing water trash.
Kyle Newacheck
I think I gave him my bed.
Adam Devine
I think you did too. That was his room was always so musty, dude.
Kyle Newacheck
And I want to say that like he literally was like, he was like, oh cool, I got my own bed. And then he jumped on it and like immediately like cracked the corner of it. And I was like, we're done here. I'm not taking this back.
Adam Devine
Oh thanks dude. His room smelled like when you first open a bag of Jack Links. Like the waft that hits you like when you open the door to his bedroom. It legit smelled like a pack of Jack links.
Kyle Newacheck
He's got the little square of paper in there.
Blake Anderson
I thought the sasquatch was Kyle lived off of. Just. I mean, I like, we're talking about, like, our friend as if he had died. You know, like, just reminiscing about all the good times.
Adam Devine
That's gonna be cool.
Blake Anderson
It's because he would eat so many bags of chips. He lived off chips.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Blake Anderson
So he would leave. So he would just keep a bag of chips. He would eat most of it and then just leave it open and out. So you. You would open. It's like. It's like a doritos. It's a fritos. It's a corn.
Adam Devine
It was like the stinky ones, like sour cream and onion and What's a cheddar Sour cream. Those as delicious as they are. They are stanking baby chili fritos.
Blake Anderson
Like corn nuts. You'd eat corn nuts and you' this.
Kyle Newacheck
Ranch corn nuts, dude.
Blake Anderson
By the way, if you are on a road trip. If you're on a road trip and you all go in to get snacks and someone comes out, and this is Kyle. If someone comes out and he has corn nuts.
Adam Devine
Yeah. Get out the car.
Blake Anderson
You should kick him out the car. You should kick him out the car. Or you have to say. You have to. We'll sit here at this gas station, and you can eat your corn nuts. Now. Then you can buy a water, rinse your mouth out in order, and buy a pack of gum. Chew that, and then you can get back in the corner.
Kyle Newacheck
So this is about bringing the funk into the vehicle, into the car.
Blake Anderson
Because it is such a stank.
Adam Devine
It is a true stink. They are delicious.
Blake Anderson
They're good.
Adam Devine
I will give you that. I love a ranch corn nut. But if you rush eating corn nuts.
Kyle Newacheck
You break your teeth off.
Adam Devine
There's a chance you're chipping teeth because some of those corn nuts are hard AF extra nuts.
Blake Anderson
What are your go to road trips snack? Yeah.
Adam Devine
I love a frito like honey barbecue twist. I think those are really delicious.
Kyle Newacheck
Frito. Frito, Frito. Honey barbecue. Oh, the twists.
Blake Anderson
Well, Frito the twist.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Blake Anderson
There's no d in it, Frito.
Kyle Newacheck
Not yet. Not till I get a hand on it.
Adam Devine
I'm gonna put my dick in the bag.
Kyle Newacheck
Yeah. Come here.
Blake Anderson
It's not Frito.
Kyle Newacheck
But. You got him that bad.
Adam Devine
Look, man, I'm from the bay. We say things different, okay? We say, I know, dude.
Blake Anderson
God, and. And the fact that I saw some comments on the David Chang thing. And a girl wrote exactly that. And they're like, I hate when they make fun of how he pronounces things. Because I'm like, wait, it's pronounced differently. And I'm like, blake, you've lived not in the bay for 25 years, so.
Adam Devine
Sticks with you, though. That's how I learned the language.
Kyle Newacheck
So you want him to change?
Adam Devine
Yeah, that's how I learned the language.
Blake Anderson
Yeah. So I mean, I stopped saying pop. I say soda.
Kyle Newacheck
You still say ray road, though.
Blake Anderson
I don't say railroad.
Kyle Newacheck
Still say railroad. I don't say railroad. My dad's from Missouri. He said railroad.
Blake Anderson
I don't say railroad.
Kyle Newacheck
It's okay. Just is what it is. You say sugar.
Blake Anderson
I do say. Sure.
Adam Devine
It's all true. It's all true. Wait, I gave my gas because I'm curious. What else do you guys. You just go straight salted? No, I'm sorry, what is your go to snack from for a road trip?
Blake Anderson
I. I may.
Adam Devine
Celsius.
Blake Anderson
Well, I mean, that'd be delicious. Yeah, I would. I would probably do a. A nerds rope.
Adam Devine
Okay.
Blake Anderson
That'll keep that on the side.
Adam Devine
That a boy.
Blake Anderson
Then as the base. You gotta go with it. Like a salted almond. Like a flavored almond. Like those wasabi almonds.
Kyle Newacheck
Okay.
Blake Anderson
Oh my God, those are the shit.
Adam Devine
Yeah, almond is. Feels like a responsible snack. That's also very delicious.
Blake Anderson
And then a little stinky. And this is debatable. And I. Sometimes I'll bring it on planes and people give me side eyes. Rotisserie chicken.
Adam Devine
No, no.
Kyle Newacheck
Oh my God, no.
Blake Anderson
Like a jerky. A jerky of some sort.
Kyle Newacheck
Yeah, of course. Hopefully local. Hopefully local.
Adam Devine
I love a local jerky.
Blake Anderson
Hopefully local. Yes. You try to find the fun local brand or something that is a little more specific to the region.
Adam Devine
I love local jerky, but also Jack.
Blake Anderson
Links, it rocks too, so, you know.
Adam Devine
We get down with that. I love local jerky, though. Sometimes they just.
Blake Anderson
Hey, I'll up an old trapper too.
Adam Devine
Hello. Hello.
Blake Anderson
Twisted.
Kyle Newacheck
So I heard about you.
Blake Anderson
Yeah, I'll up an old trapper jerky.
Kyle Newacheck
I definitely get like a big water and then I get a five hour energy drink or two.
Blake Anderson
There we go.
Kyle Newacheck
I could just shoot it, but then I'm drinking water so my teeth don't get all like. I will for sure get like a Reese's sticks four pack situation.
Adam Devine
Oh my God, you dumb.
Kyle Newacheck
Because it's fun. I can either go, this is all mine, or I can be the fun guy. Who's going? Who wants. Anybody want a little stick they're light, they're airy. They. They. They check a box for me.
Blake Anderson
Yeah.
Adam Devine
And yes, Blake, you got more. Well, I'm. That's like a kit Kat, but it's Reese's. Is that what I don't know if I've had.
Kyle Newacheck
It's a wafer. It's like a chocolate covered wafer and peanut butter.
Adam Devine
That sounds delicious.
Blake Anderson
Todd. Give us a Reese's stick and then.
Adam Devine
Yeah, I'm in. I mean, I'm a huge fan of everything Reese's does, so.
Blake Anderson
Yeah.
Kyle Newacheck
And I'm a fan of yours.
Adam Devine
Thank you.
Kyle Newacheck
I don't think I've ever said that.

Adam Devine
The water like it.
Kyle Newacheck
When you go to the checkout, you're like. And I got the big. The big smart one and I got the water.
Blake Anderson
So I'm not a total degenerate.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Blake Anderson
And then so you get the water, but then also you got to get something with caffeine. If I'm off the energy drinks, if I'm on the energy drinks, I'd get a big ass sugar free red bull. But if I'm off the energy, I.
Adam Devine
Would get a Zoa. I don't know about you guys.
Blake Anderson
Yeah, Zoa energy still.
Adam Devine
I don't know if it exists.
Blake Anderson
I sometimes mix. You know, I. If I really need to stay awake if I'm driving, I would do. I would get my go to. I'd get my eyes right. I would get a sparkling water and then I would get an energy drink and mix it and put it in a cup. Bingo, bango wango tango.
Adam Devine
I'm ready to drive perfect like that.
Blake Anderson
But if not, I'm just going to go with a like a coke Z. A cherry coke Z of that, baby. This episode is brought to you by prize picks. You and I make decisions every day, but on prize picks.

Kyle Newacheck
I'm a big local jerky guy. You know, if it's just like Mike's round the corner jerky that's like in a shitty weird bag.
Blake Anderson
Love it.
Adam Devine
Around the corner and jerk Mike.
Blake Anderson
I love a shitty weird bag.
Kyle Newacheck
But I am also a like if they have like a saran wrapped cookie at the counter.
Adam Devine
Okay.
Kyle Newacheck
Yeah, a bit like a big one, you know, like a big kind of. I'll give that a shot. I'll give that a shot.
Blake Anderson
I know what you're saying. Yeah, I love it.
Adam Devine
Great call.
Blake Anderson
Also in at these I'm specifically thinking the the really the only time I road trip are is like when I'm in Nebraska and I Omaha, we do a hunt once a year and I'm gonna go in a few weeks. Where we go, we fly into Omaha and then we drive like two and a half hours up to the Omaha, South Dakota border and that's where we hunt. And there's a gas station that we always stop at that has very local chips that are Larry the Cable Guy chips and they have all kinds of flavors and I always got to get a bag of Larry the Cable Guy dill pickle chips.
Adam Devine
Yeah, read the Cable Guy chips.
Blake Anderson
Get her done. Get her done, babe. Get her done.
Adam Devine
Did they just do you think it's just like rap snacks and they rebranded it Larry the Cable Guy in that area?
Kyle Newacheck
No, I think Larry's making them Blake.
Blake Anderson
I think Larry's doing his own.
Kyle Newacheck
Yeah.
Adam Devine
Baking the air fryer at home.
Blake Anderson
I think he's doing his own thing. He's Larry the Cable Guy, man. He's got. Especially in Nebraska, he's got a lot of pull. I. I told you guys I was as a celebrity guest years ago now for the Cornhuskers. And I was there. And they're like, ladies and gentlemen, out in the vi, like, waving, you know. And then I'm talking with Eric Crouch, who won the Heisman, who I found out we had the same birthday, so that was fun. And the mayor of Omaha. And so, like, these are some. Some power players. And then someone comes up to me and goes, excuse me, Adam, Larry the Cable Guy would like to see you. And they're like, well, you gotta go. And I'm like, I've been summoned, right. By Larry the Cable Guy. And then they took me. They took me up to him. He has his own suite. That's his all the time.
Kyle Newacheck
Yeah.
Blake Anderson
That's decked out in his stuff.
Kyle Newacheck
Yeah.
Blake Anderson
And you go in. Coolest guy, nicest guy. I was with Chloe. He was asking her all types of questions.
Kyle Newacheck
You can't go in with those sleeves on, sir.
Blake Anderson
Yeah, he was. He was the man. Big shout out to Larry the Cable Guy. And now my. Now my kid watches Car Cars all the time, so I have even a bigger appreciation all day.
Adam Devine
Oh, yeah, he's. He's Mater or whatever.
Kyle Newacheck
Have you watched Cars 2?
Blake Anderson
I have.
Adam Devine
They are all good Cars to suck. You're off of them.
Blake Anderson
Cars 2 is not as good.
Kyle Newacheck
They kind of give the movie to Mater because two, I think it's twofold. And maybe this is a little too inside Hollywood, but I think Owen Wilson was like, off the rails at this time. And they were like, we need to make a sequel. And they were like, we don't exactly know where he is. And I think that Larry was also. Mater was like the big. I'm doing cracked from the first ones. They were like, let's make it the Mater movie.
Adam Devine
I mean, I'm a big Mater guy.
Kyle Newacheck
Three is pretty good.
Adam Devine
Three gets back on track.
Blake Anderson
We haven't gone to three yet, but one is an absolute banger. And my kid, it's. It's. I mean, we said we weren't going to do it until he was at least two to like, let him watch movies and stuff, but we let him watch just a few minutes of it. And now every day he comes down and points to the TV and goes and does that incessantly until you finally have a meltdown yourself, and you break down. You're like, fine. Fucking. We'll put on cars. Shut the fuck up. We'll put on cars.
Kyle Newacheck
Just. Just don't give him your phone.
Blake Anderson
I. I have not given him the phone.
Kyle Newacheck
Just promise me. Just promise me you won't give him.
Blake Anderson
The phone, because that's. That's when it's over. They're gonna need that phone every damn day.
Kyle Newacheck
Everyone I know who gives their kids the phone, it's over. Their kids are on crack, and. And the parents love it because it's the answer. They're like, here, don't be on crack over there. So we can have an adult conversation.
Blake Anderson
Yeah, we're not. We're not giving him a phone. We're not giving him an iPad.
Kyle Newacheck
Don't do it.
Adam Devine
Yeah, you gotta resist the 10.
Kyle Newacheck
Hold out. Just hold out until, like, an airplane. Like, if they're on an airplane, that's.
Blake Anderson
The one time where he's allowed. We'll. We're gonna, like, okay, you can watch the iPad on the airplane. And by the way, he wants to watch it for, like, 15 minutes, and he's like a little kid, so he's like, okay, yeah, I saw that, Ms. Rachel. Now what, dude? And you're like, what? Do you want to walk up down the aisles and say hi to everyone and annoy a lot of people, right? It's. It is funny how many people. Because it's a very cute kid, and he's. And he just goes and goes, hi. Hey. Hey. I would say 85% of people love it and think it's very cute. Those people that don't like it. I've never felt this way. If someone, like, gives my kid a side eye, I want to break their nose. Like how they teach you in Taekwondo.
Adam Devine
Where you do that and the bones.
Blake Anderson
Shoots back up into the brain and it kills them immediately. That's what I want to do.
Kyle Newacheck
Your honor, exhibit A, the podcast where Adam Devine said he wanted to murder someone, and now he did it.
Blake Anderson
That's. That's what I want to do to them, because they gave my kid, like, his side eye. And, you know, I get it. They're on a plane. They don't necessarily want to interact with children, but them.
Kyle Newacheck
Wait, it's quick. Sidebar. So remember how I was wearing the weight vest the other day and da, da, da, da. I was. I was wearing it. I was taking it off. Speaking of noses going into brains, and I kind of, like, hopped up to, like, get it off, and the front plate Just blasted my nose. And I was like, oh, no. I was like, my life didn't flash before my eyes like last week, but, dude, I was like, what if I just died trying to get a weight vest?
Adam Devine
Taking a weight vest off a Final Destination moment, but knock your front teeth out? That would be a bummer.
Kyle Newacheck
Nose to brain. Yeah, I. But did. When I see parents out and look, everyone, do your thing. But when I see parents out, like, we were at the zoo the other day, speaking of zoos. Last week, there's just kids on their phones at the zoo. And I'm like, yo, there's a real.
Blake Anderson
Yeah, there's real gorillas right there.
Kyle Newacheck
Elephant. There's a rhinoceros right here.
Blake Anderson
Yeah.
Kyle Newacheck
Fucking thing. Why are the parents like, sure, here, sure. I'm just like, it's crazy. You're out to dinner. The kids are just zoned out. All of them on their own thing so the parents can talk. And I understand the idea behind it, but sometimes you just got to fucking teach your kids how to be out in the world.
Adam Devine
Got to give them a crayon. Come on, man.
Kyle Newacheck
Give them a crayon.
Adam Devine
Fucking go wild.
Blake Anderson
We were at Nobu.
Adam Devine
Hello.
Blake Anderson
My wife and I maybe.
Kyle Newacheck
No way.
Blake Anderson
Which is a fancy, you know, sushi place.
Kyle Newacheck
Yeah.
Blake Anderson
And sushi restaurant. And we. I call them places. Places. Yes. And it's a fancy restaurant, a dojo. We were having like a date night. And you know, without the kid. And the table next to us was two kids and the parents. And the parents are. They're having their date night, but they're kids are with them.
Kyle Newacheck
Yeah.
Blake Anderson
Full on laptop gaming setups. Wearing headsets.
Adam Devine
Oh, that's kind of tight.
Blake Anderson
Full on gaming at no booth.
Kyle Newacheck
Right.
Blake Anderson
Wow. Dude, it was crazy. And these kids are like. They were a little older. They were like 12 and 10, something like that.
Kyle Newacheck
But even worse because I'm like, they can add to the conversation. You can tell them about what's happening in the world.
Blake Anderson
I know.
Adam Devine
I'm like, wait, wait, wait, wait, though. That could be their job. They could be making thousands of dollars.
Blake Anderson
Good call.
Kyle Newacheck
Yeah.
Adam Devine
What if your kids are.
Kyle Newacheck
They're probably picking up tab at.
Blake Anderson
No, I mean that. Hey, that's true.
Adam Devine
Dude, what if they're the main source of.
Blake Anderson
Dad, I got this.
Kyle Newacheck
They might have owned the restaurant.
Adam Devine
Come on.
Kyle Newacheck
Good call.
Adam Devine
You don't know. They could be sponsored by Mountain Dew. They're. They're paying for. No. Boo.
Kyle Newacheck
I'll take that walk. Yeah.
Adam Devine
Thank you.
Blake Anderson
I was playing Call of Duty the other day, and I finally ran into my first world ranked Call of Duty player. Because their skin, it said like world rank. This guy destroyed everybody. Yeah, it was like we all had like six kills and he had the 30 kills and he won. Yeah, it was wild how good he was. And I'm like. I mean. And he probably was like 14 years old.
Adam Devine
Yeah. A few years back I did like a Mountain Dew tournament and I played. My teammate was this kid named Priesta. And he's like a legit like professional call.
Kyle Newacheck
You remember the name?
Adam Devine
Yeah, dude, Priesta. That's my boy. He was fucking nice with it. But he like, he held the controller different. Like he, it was called like a claw. He like made a new way to hold controllers. I met his parents. They couldn't be more stoked on him.
Blake Anderson
How old was this kid?
Kyle Newacheck
Oh, you were, you were at a thing. Got it. Okay. I thought you were online.
Adam Devine
I think he was like 16 or 17. Like pretty, pretty young dude. Like still lived at home, but like they would fly out to do these tournaments and he just like wrecked shop.
Blake Anderson
Well, that's cool if that's, if you literally are that great and that's your thing. Yeah, then, then you're. That's your thing. Yeah, I don't think that these kids were at that level.
Adam Devine
Well, you gotta let them play to practice, man.
Kyle Newacheck
Yeah, that's. That's fair enough. Fair enough.
Blake Anderson
I'm remembering this story a little more. The one kid was full on gaming. The other kid is DMing his girlfriend. And it was like taking dick pics. No, it was like the cutest little exchange.
Kyle Newacheck
How'd you see it?
Blake Anderson
Like we could read it because it was huge.
Adam Devine
It was huge.
Blake Anderson
He had it blown up because he's on a full on laptop and it was like massive. And so Chloe and I are like you now.
Adam Devine
You and Chloe.
Blake Anderson
It's just like a lot of like winking faces. I'm like, this, this is kind of cute.
Adam Devine
I mean, it's cute until it takes a wild turn and you're like, oh, geez.
Blake Anderson
Oh.
Kyle Newacheck
I understand that. Some people are like, you know what? It's cheaper than getting a sitter and we want to have date night.
Adam Devine
Sure.
Blake Anderson
Yeah, but.
Adam Devine
Yeah, sure.
Kyle Newacheck
But guess what?
Adam Devine
Get a crayon.
Blake Anderson
Just get a sitter.
Kyle Newacheck
Get a crayon, Just get a sitter.
Blake Anderson
You're. Hey, also you're going to Nobu. It's gonna be an expensive night.
Kyle Newacheck
It's the new, like bringing the dog on the airplane.
Blake Anderson
I mean, the kids ate, right. So it's was expensive.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Kyle Newacheck
Babysitters Are expensive these days.
Adam Devine
Yeah, that's a while to bring the kids to. No booze.
Kyle Newacheck
I don't know, man.
Adam Devine
Are they even eating sushi? If I was a kid.
Blake Anderson
Oh, by the way, we're taking Bo to Nobu tonight, so.
Kyle Newacheck
Yeah, get the phone out.
Blake Anderson
It does happen. We have, like, PM reservation, and this is the way. Bo's actually great at restaurants because we go out to eat quite a bit. Yeah, but you just have to, like, you order. He likes. He likes to eat lemons. He loves lemons. So you go, hey, give us a glass of water with a lid and some lemons and a cup of ice, right? They go, get that. Then we walk around. One of us walks around with him for a little bit until that gets there. Then you put him in the chair. He eats lemons. He eats some ice is water.
Adam Devine
He just eats lemons.
Kyle Newacheck
That's a Hollywood diet.
Adam Devine
A little cayenne pepper.
Blake Anderson
We order then. Then we walk him again. Walk him around the restaurant, you know.
Kyle Newacheck
Show him the stuff. Right.
Blake Anderson
Then we come back. Hopefully the food is there. We give him, you know, whatever food that we can give him there at Nobu that Daddy doesn't eat, that Daddy doesn't need. And then. And then hopefully, you know, it's a. It's a great experience. Wow.
Kyle Newacheck
He's eating solid food now, right?
Blake Anderson
Oh, yeah.
Kyle Newacheck
So he can eat sushi, right?
Blake Anderson
Pizza. Pizza. I don't know if you can eat sushi. I don't one. I don't think you would like it.
Kyle Newacheck
But my kids, they eat it. I'm like. The Midwesterner in me is like, but, yeah. Huh?
Blake Anderson
Yeah. My dad still. He's like, but it's not cooked. And then we take him to nice restaurants, you know, nice sushi restaurant. And then he'd eat it and he goes, tell you what, that wasn't half bad.
Kyle Newacheck
Yeah.
Blake Anderson
And I'm like, yeah, dad, it's really nice sushi.
Adam Devine
That shit's important.
Kyle Newacheck
But just psychologically, it doesn't enter the chat.
Adam Devine
It ain't right. It's like, right?
Kyle Newacheck
That's right out there. Yeah, yeah.
Blake Anderson
He's like, well, why? It'd be better if they cooked it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Adam Devine
I mean, I don't think I had sushi for the first time until my, like, mid-20s, probably. Like with you. Yeah. I didn't even touch the stuff at a grocery store.
Blake Anderson
Yeah, yeah. I'm still surprised that you've even tried it.
Adam Devine
I love sushi. I think it's delicious.
Blake Anderson
Yeah, I. We ate sushi together. We. We. Me and you had a little fun date night in San Francisco.
Adam Devine
And we did. I just was looking at. I saw those pics in my phone the other day, and I'm like, oh, that was.
Blake Anderson
That was a nice dinner.
Adam Devine
Just me and Adam out.
Blake Anderson
Yeah. And I was surprised that you actually were eating the sushi.
Adam Devine
You guys give me a lot of.
Blake Anderson
Because for years and years, you wouldn't. Or we would go and you would eat, like, teriyaki. You'd get, like, a teriyaki bowl or whatever.
Kyle Newacheck
But look at him now. He's eating seafood soup live on television.
Adam Devine
You saw me. You saw me. I ate a clam.
Kyle Newacheck
Did you crack open any of those crab legs?
Adam Devine
No, because we didn't, like, have the. Like, how the.
Blake Anderson
At David Chang live Dinner time.
Kyle Newacheck
Live. Yeah, yeah.
Adam Devine
Yes.
Kyle Newacheck
From last week. Yes.
Adam Devine
I did not break into the crab legs.
Blake Anderson
No, I don't. By the way, they didn't give us any tools to break into the crab legs. Exactly. So you.
Adam Devine
You had to snap them with your hands. Actually, I kind of forgot. Now that we're talking about restaurants, I got a really cool thing sent to my. My home from a restaurant that we're all pretty. Pretty stoked on.
Kyle Newacheck
Here we go.
Adam Devine
Did you guys. Did you.
Blake Anderson

Can you imagine?
Adam Devine

Kyle Newacheck
Sending that up the chain of command to be like. And we need to make these.
Adam Devine
Wow.
Blake Anderson
I mean, by the way. And I hope that guy is now the. The CEO of the company, because he has brilliant ideas.
Adam Devine
Took me a while to figure out what it was. I thought maybe it was just like a. To go, like, titty doll, But I think.
Kyle Newacheck
I think you just lay on top of that.
Blake Anderson
Go, titty dog.
Adam Devine
Yeah. Like, you take it on an airplane with you. You go in the bathroom.
Blake Anderson
So for just the audio listeners, it's a mouse pad with huge dudes.
Kyle Newacheck
For, like, to rest your wrist on.
Blake Anderson
By the way, that looks mad comfortable.
Adam Devine
It feels hella good. Dude, it's squishy.
Blake Anderson
I'm having wrist issues from, you know, you're working on the computer and writing.
Kyle Newacheck
Yeah, sure. Of course.
Adam Devine
Of course, sweetheart. The doctor gave it to me. I have to have it. All right. For my carpool.
Kyle Newacheck
Wait, but are you using a mouse, Adam?
Blake Anderson
No, no, but, I mean, I want.
Kyle Newacheck
To start using a mouse still. This is.
Adam Devine
Well, I'm just gonna kind of put this neck next to my lazy Boy and just rest my wrist right there.
Blake Anderson
Yeah, sure.
Adam Devine
It's comfy.
Blake Anderson
It's nice.
Kyle Newacheck
I gotta go. I got a feeling that you won't be resting that wrist very long.
Blake Anderson
And that's where you put your. Put your dick through that. What is that? Is that a to go.
Kyle Newacheck
Yeah, to go body.
Adam Devine
What is that little dick suit?
Blake Anderson
Oh, it's a koozie. Okay.
Adam Devine
Or you can. You can stick your dick through the top and it.
Blake Anderson
Okay, there's a little.
Adam Devine
Little jersey. And then I got a hat, which is pretty cool.
Blake Anderson
Yeah, the hat is pretty sick.
Adam Devine
So. Shout out Twin Peaks, man.
Kyle Newacheck
Yeah.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Blake Anderson
That's a huge. That's big time. Big time gift box.

Adam Devine
Like.
Blake Anderson

Kyle Newacheck

I mean, shout out now.
Blake Anderson
Should. Should we invest? Like, I know. You know, like, people. You know, people in our position, they. They. They put their money where their mouths are and our mouths where they want.
Kyle Newacheck
Their mouths wrapped around.
Blake Anderson
We want our mouths to be.
Adam Devine
Yeah, well, it says if this is important. Ever wants to post up at a place with cold beer, scratch food, and hotter views? Twin Peaks is. Is locked and loaded.
Blake Anderson
So, boys, scratch food.
Adam Devine
Yeah. What does that mean?
Kyle Newacheck
Like, biscuits?
Blake Anderson
I. Well, that's, like a golfing reference.
Kyle Newacheck
No, I think it's, like, made from scratch, as opposed to, like, frozen wings that show up at Hooters. That's probably their, like, angle.
Adam Devine
Oh, okay. That's nice.
Kyle Newacheck
But, yeah.
Adam Devine
You think that shots fired at. At Hooters?
Kyle Newacheck
I think so.
Adam Devine
Oh, well, what team are you guys?

Kyle Newacheck
Driven to Oregon before. That's not short.
Blake Anderson
That's a hell of a drive. How far is that?
Adam Devine
I did that for New Year's. It was kind of. There's a. What's the mountain range you go through? That's kind of brutal. It was like snowing through there.
Kyle Newacheck
Yeah, there they were. It was like a chains situation. Yeah, true nightmare.
Blake Anderson
Well, how long is that drive?
Kyle Newacheck
What do you.
Blake Anderson
What do you look at?
Kyle Newacheck
I mean, I had like a book on audiobook or whatever.
Blake Anderson
But doesn't your GPS just tell you.
Kyle Newacheck
I mean, I drove through a.
Adam Devine
No, he doesn't. He can't tell time. He judges by books.
Blake Anderson
Doesn't your GPS just tell you it's six and a half hours or however long.
Kyle Newacheck
Oh, you. Sorry. Yeah, I didn't know how. I don't have many miles. It is.
Blake Anderson
I don't know when to know how many chapters of your audiobook you read.
Kyle Newacheck
I thought you said what are you looking at? And I said I'm not looking at anything. I'm listening. Okay, great. Anyway, it. I think it's like 17 hours in. In an EV or you gotta like stop like I don't know, five times and charge for 40 minutes.
Adam Devine
Oh, that's rough.
Blake Anderson
That is rough.
Adam Devine
It's a big one.
Blake Anderson
17 hours. And then you. I mean, you're stopping, right? You're stopping. You're spend the night somewhere.
Kyle Newacheck
Yeah, I did a total. Yeah. Where is it? Like, not Carson. Carson. Not Carson. Somewhere else?
Blake Anderson
No, no, no, Carson is just in la.
Kyle Newacheck
No, somewhere like just north of northwest.
Blake Anderson
Of Chico City of Carson.
Adam Devine
What is that?
Kyle Newacheck
There's.
Blake Anderson
Okay.
Adam Devine
Paradise.
Kyle Newacheck
I don't know. Anyway, I stopped it like a. Literally, like. Yeah, it was paradise. And just laid down in the like shittiest hotel bed possible. Like, I'm like, I don't want to pay anything. I'm just gonna be here for like six hours sleeping, and then I'm gonna wake up and hit the road. Just lay down like coffin style.
Blake Anderson
What was the purpose of. Of doing this, jurors? You just needed to get a lot of. Up there and you.
Kyle Newacheck
Yeah, exactly.
Blake Anderson
Because you. You have a place up there. You have a cabin, right?
Kyle Newacheck
Yeah.
Blake Anderson
And so you just need to transport a certain amount of shit.
Kyle Newacheck
Yeah. TVs that, like, I don't use here at the house anymore. That we could put up there. All sorts of stuff.
Blake Anderson
Yeah, yeah.
Adam Devine
That's cool. You did the trip by yourself 17 hours.
Kyle Newacheck
I did. I did.
Blake Anderson
That's legendary.
Adam Devine
That's legendary, bro.
Blake Anderson
That car lives. Lives up there now. Or you turn around and drove back.
Kyle Newacheck
No, and then we all drove back.
Blake Anderson
With the whole fam.
Kyle Newacheck
They all flew. I mean, it's. The Rivian is fucking sick. I mean, I was in a legit blizzard and just gunning it.
Adam Devine
Dude, that is scary.
Kyle Newacheck
Dude. I for sure should have died. Every time I'd pull behind a truck, you're getting like the residual wind and flurries and it's like rolling hills a lot. So, like, you're trying to go around and then you're just like. But what if a car is just at the bottom of a rolling hill and then just pops up as soon as I'm right there?
Blake Anderson
Yeah, that's the danger of that.
Adam Devine
You're dead.
Kyle Newacheck
But I'm here to tell the tale.
Adam Devine
What. What book was it? Because I am curious. What'd you slap on the audible?
Kyle Newacheck
I. I finished one book.
Blake Anderson
Twin Peaks.
Kyle Newacheck
No, it was. Oh, it was the Tarantino like, movie book where he just talks about movies and shit. I finished that and then started Stephen King, the.
Blake Anderson
The Shining, the greatest movie ever, which.
Kyle Newacheck
By the way, super fucking boring.
Adam Devine
The book is not as good as the movie, I don't think. It kind of gets a little weird.
Kyle Newacheck
Here's what I know about myself. Too many words. I just. I can't. If I'm Just like, I don't care.
Adam Devine
I'm a fucking idiot.
Kyle Newacheck
There's like a literal literarial whole chapter or more where the dude. Let's just say Jack Nicholson. So we know who we're talking about here, right?
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Kyle Newacheck
Is in the basement of the hotel reading newspaper excerpts. So you get like a little history of the hotel and, like, you, like, mobsters used to be there and, like, somebody went missing and, like, a wife and an affair and da, da, da, da. And it's like you're just reading newspaper excerpts and I'm like.
Blake Anderson
You're like, okay, this could have been, like, two pages long.
Kyle Newacheck
I don't give a. And it's well written. And, like, it's. It's interesting. And you see how it makes him go, like, a little crazier because, like, crazy things have happened there and he's. It's way more about him being an alcoholic.
Blake Anderson
Yeah, I do like that. Audiobooks are such a thing now. I enjoy an audio.
Adam Devine
They're the best.
Blake Anderson
Now that. Now that I'm driving so much that I live down here in Orange county, and then I'm up in LA all the time. So it's like an hour and a half up. And then sometimes when you're coming back, it could be two and a half hours down, you know, and just being in the car, you know, it's nice to feel like you're learning a little something and not just. Not just listening to old Blink 182. I was gonna say the same Blink.
Adam Devine
182 song and kid Cudi over and over and over.
Blake Anderson
It's been minutes since I ditched in the Kid Cudi.
Adam Devine
Yeah.
Blake Anderson
One, two, three.
Kyle Newacheck
Oh, boy, here we go.
Adam Devine
Was that a Vampire Weekend as well, or. I don't know. That was.
Blake Anderson
Yeah. I went through a little Vampire Weekend phase, too. Yeah.
Kyle Newacheck
Oh, I'm trying to remember. The guy who reads. The guy who reads the book, though, is crushing it. The. He's an actor. His name's Campbell Scott. You've seen him in movies. He was in, like, Roger Dodger, and you'd recognize him. He's like a super, like, clean cut, business honky type guy. Executive type.
Adam Devine
Is he got a silky voice or.
Kyle Newacheck
He really does and he changes it for people like the little kid and like, the mom.
Blake Anderson
I feel like if your thing is doing audiobooks, your job's done. AI is. Is coming for that job right now. I feel like that is. That is already probably happening, and we don't even realize thing sucks.
Adam Devine
Yeah. I've been hearing some Some AI like radio ads. And you can tell. I mean, it will in a couple years.
Blake Anderson
Yeah.
Adam Devine
And by the end of the year, you won't be able to.
Blake Anderson
But yes, even. Even some songs, like, I saw, like, this guy, he was like, this is Nickelback, but a R and B soul version of it, and it was legit, very good. And you're. And the guy was like, lip syncing. So for a second I'm like, oh, is he the one singing this? But then he missed a few words, so I'm like, oh, he just lives. And then I was like, oh, it's AI.
Adam Devine
God damn it. We're done.
Blake Anderson
We're doomed.
Kyle Newacheck
I feel like every podcast I've watched or listened to in the last couple of weeks has been about this. And it's. The thing everyone talks about is, like, the atrophy, where it's like, first of all, we're leveling the playing field. Now everybody knows everything, which is kind of cool because, like, if you couldn't go to college, like, now you know everything that somebody went to college. And, like, AI can do a ton of things. And if someone's like a. Like a specialized in some field and they know all the stuff, they're no longer specialized because you're now just pulling it up on your phone. And sooner or later, it's going to be connected to our brains. But then what happens in chapter two, when we're all like, well, you don't have to do anything because we just know everything, and no one knows anything.
Blake Anderson
And no one knows anything, and then all of a sudden, it stops working or something happens.
Adam Devine
Exactly.
Blake Anderson
And then we're like, exactly.
Kyle Newacheck
But also, what do you want to do?
Adam Devine
Jerk off.
Blake Anderson
Like, what are.
Kyle Newacheck
Why are you waking up in the morning?
Blake Anderson
Jerk off.
Adam Devine
Jerk off, bro.
Kyle Newacheck
Exactly. Like, how. How primal do we get?
Blake Anderson
Our chairs are going to be covered.
Adam Devine
I want to be virtually slurped. Stop. I want my wrist resting on my twin peak.
Blake Anderson
I just want to be gobbled.
Adam Devine
No, but that's what's going to happen.
Kyle Newacheck
Like, anybody who innately likes hard work and doing stuff, I guess you'll be fine. But I would say that's only 30% of people. Maybe I'll say 4.
Blake Anderson
Maybe less than that. Yeah, maybe less.
Kyle Newacheck
I would say, like, you know, it.
Adam Devine
Depends how hard we're talking, how hard the work is. I like. Like, medium work.
Kyle Newacheck
And everyone else is looking for shortcuts or to chill. And I get that for sure. But, man, you're gonna be fucked.
Blake Anderson
Yeah, well, it's a very. It's A very dark time, scary time to be alive.
Kyle Newacheck
Because who doesn't want to know everything? We all want to know everything. That's why when we are like, what was the name of that person? That movie? We just whip it out from our phone instead of going, we don't know.
Adam Devine
Yeah. I used to like try to hold that knowledge in my head. Yeah. No, like, like when I was a kid I would just read the back of like comic cards just to like memorize stats.
Kyle Newacheck
Right. Agility, strength, intelligence.
Adam Devine
Know their real. Like, why do I need to know dexterity? Magneto's name is Eric.
Blake Anderson
Or like. Yeah, I would, I would look at like the back. I would study the back of like baseball and basketball and football. Yeah.
Adam Devine
And just have.
Blake Anderson
You're like, you want to know their stats and you want to be able to like talk to your friends and, and know all that. Now you don't. Now the kids, they don't even care because they know AI.
Kyle Newacheck
What did I see? Someone posted something of the day where like a person made a phone call and they were like, what did everyone just like knew everyone's phone numbers? That's like they, they like didn't believe the movie people made because they're like, that's impossible. And it's like, actually we did and it's crazy. And I'm sure we all remember our best friend's phone number from when we were in middle school.
Adam Devine
I've got Kyle's. That's the only one I know is Kyle's phone number.
Kyle Newacheck
Yeah, I got it.
Blake Anderson
Yeah, I got a couple. Yeah. It's weird when it comes back to you, like I just give them out.
Kyle Newacheck
Let's give them.
Blake Anderson
Yeah. Kyle's.
Adam Devine
I think it still is.
Blake Anderson
Yeah, yeah, mine, mine's still mine never changes. I've never, never changed. But yeah, remember you would have that like raggedy ass thing that you'd keep in your wallet of like everybody's number. I would keep like just like a sheet of like a little one sheet, right. That's this big like on the back of like someone's card. And then you write really small and try to write everybody's number on that. And you'd whip it out and be.
Kyle Newacheck
Like, I think my dad gave me one of those for like emergencies if like he went missing.
Adam Devine
That's a good call. Like a little laminated emergency card.
Kyle Newacheck
Yeah, something like that. With like my grandparents number and. Or whatever.
Adam Devine
That's a great call.
Blake Anderson
Mine was not laminated. Any takebacks? Any apologies? Any epic slams here, boys?
Kyle Newacheck
I mean, shout out Twin Peaks.
Adam Devine
Twin Peaks. I mean, God damn.
Blake Anderson
God damn.
Adam Devine
I hope you guys have this in the mail.
Blake Anderson
I hope we get that. I hope we get that soon.
Adam Devine
It's gonna be cool.
Blake Anderson
Isaac has already given that to his son.
Kyle Newacheck
That seems like a limited edition situation.
Adam Devine
I really just. I can't wait to just watch football and do this.
Blake Anderson
Yeah.
Kyle Newacheck
Blake, relax there, buddy.
Blake Anderson
And why are you squeezing it like.
Kyle Newacheck
That's aggressive.
Blake Anderson
Yeah.
Adam Devine
It's not a real woman. It's just. It's just jelly, man. Yeah.
Kyle Newacheck
That's how it starts. That's how it starts. Jeffrey Dahmer cutting open animals.
Blake Anderson
It's not a real woman. Yep.
Kyle Newacheck

Blake Anderson
It's just jelly. All right, Take backs. Apologies. Epic slams.

Blake Anderson
Prista, my boy.
Adam Devine
I gotta tap in with him. He's so sick. Dude, if you. Hey. I'll just say if your parents out there and you're bringing a whole laptop setups to the restaurant. I get it. If you're. You're trying to get your kid to go pro with virtual eating.
Blake Anderson
It didn't seem like that.
Adam Devine
It didn't seem.
Kyle Newacheck
This is a.
Adam Devine
This is a job of the future, you guys. I. I get the crayon thing as well, but sometimes we got to pay these bills. Somebody gotta buy this Nobu. And maybe it's my kid.
Kyle Newacheck
And big shout out to Blake. I think that might be his first take. Adam.
Blake Anderson
Yeah. Honestly.
Adam Devine
Thank you.
