Key Discussion Points & Notable Moments

1. Celebrating Five Years of TII

• The group kicks off with repeated revelry: "Happy five year anniversary, TII nation!" (04:09).
• They reflect on the community’s loyalty:
  Adam: “The fans that are there, they listen early… We appreciate you.” (04:28) Anders: “Five years is an insane amount of time.” (04:33)

2. Concert Metaphors & Dad Bands

• Concert crowd analogy:
  Anders compares their podcast’s longevity to holding a good spot in a crowded concert; you stand strong when people try to push past you. (04:40)
• Styx and Rush tangent:
  Who would your imagined band be?
  Blake: “I’m still gonna say Styx. This is Styx.” (05:02)
  Adam: “A band that was popular when our dads were… I’m honoring my father by being at this concert.” (05:07)

3. Musical Nostalgia & Learning Drums

• Adam tells a story about learning to drum on a terrible $70 kit, poking fun at himself (“Daddy needs a drum set.” – 06:14) and being demotivated after seeing Neil Peart (of Rush) in a bootleg VHS:
  Adam: “I saw Neil Peart actually drumming and it made me want to quit. He was too good.” (08:01)
• The group jokes about one-hit-wonder 90s bands (Presidents of the USA, Barenaked Ladies, Crash Test Dummies, etc.) and how certain introductory drum beats could set realistic expectations.

4. Billy Bob Thornton’s Weight & Pop Culture Tangents

• Light-hearted debate over whether Billy Bob Thornton was ever truly fat, using movie roles as evidence.
  Adam: “That guy right there was Sling Blade, who was morbidly obese in Sling Blade.” (11:19)
  Blake: “He’s never been fat. He’s literally only been cool.” (12:03)
• More riffs about Billy Bob’s band names (“Boxmasters”), and affectionate teasing about “fat not being cool.” (12:14)
• Running bit: Did anyone reference “Sling Blade” in the last 5/10 years?
  Anders: “That’s gotta be the only Sling Blade reference ever made in the last five years.” (10:15)

5. Changing Social Attitudes in the Midwest

• Adam recounts recent trips to Nebraska and increased visibility of LGBTQ+ individuals:
  Adam: “It used to be a place you wouldn’t want to be gay. I ran into so many gay people there now.” (16:36)
• Banter about how they identify people’s orientation (“dangly earring”—19:47) and playful speculation about stereotypes.
• Discussion evolves into humorous, self-aware territory on “fashion signals,” and the group prods Blake about his lensless glasses prop.

6. Blake’s Collecting Habits and Podcast Nostalgia

• Blake pushes back on being called a hoarder:
  Blake: “Actually, I’m a collector, and I archive. I do collect. I have my comic book collection and I archive things I think are important…” (29:51)
• The group appreciates occasionally reliving old memories through Blake’s souvenirs (rare t-shirts from old projects, etc.), but Adam notes, “It’s a lot of work for maybe the three times that’s happened in my life!” (30:28)
• Love for “Best Of” TII compilations, forgetting bits and rediscovering funny segments, e.g., the mysterious “raspy-voiced 90s singer” (Richard Marx—32:15).

7. Explaining the Podcast to Outsiders

• When asked about the theme:
  Adam: “It’s called This Is Important… literally it’s just us talking about usually pretty nostalgic stuff from our childhood in the 90s.” (34:22) Blake: “My dentist asked me… I’m like, don’t listen. Please don’t listen.” (34:56)

8. Podcast’s Community & Moments of Impact

• Adam shares an emotional story about his neighbor listening to all episodes:
  Adam: “He was like, ‘I actually loved it because I love what friendship you guys have. You can tell that you’re best friends.’ And I cried.” (36:03)
• The group acknowledges winning “Funniest Podcast of 2023” at the iHeartRadio awards and jokes about potentially winning a Golden Globe as podcast awards expand (37:01).

9. Shoutouts and Upcoming Shows

• Praise for their team (Anna, Todd, Isaac—38:25) and a callback to an infamous “list” given to them for content (talk about “the cruise”).
• They plug their upcoming cruise (Feb 22–26 from Tampa Bay to Cozumel) and Vegas show (Nov 20), with teases of special guests and inside jokes about Bruno Mars, Sean Kingston, and sports events (39:16–41:22).

10. Fan Encounters and Omaha Traditions

• Adam describes a fan recognizing him at the Drover steakhouse in Omaha, recalling podcast details about Adam’s hunting trips:
  Adam: “You said on the podcast that you always roll through with Mikey and your dad.” (43:33)
• Discussion about the Drover menu, Nebraska culinary traditions, and regional steakhouse culture.
  Kyle: “What’s the vibe of The Drover? It sounds fancy.” (44:52)

11. Food Orders & Weight Loss Trends

• Playful shaming about Blake’s habit of ordering the “weirdest thing” at well-known restaurants (45:58–46:58).
• Joking discussion about GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and their impact on pop culture:
  Blake: “If you can’t afford food for your children but you can inject yourself with Skinny Serum… you might be a redneck.” (51:48)
• Curiosity about creating a hybrid testosterone and GLP-1 medication:
  Kyle: “Can we brand something… It’s called Daddy’s Milkshake.” (56:41)

12. Testosterone Shame & Group Dynamics

• Recalling an infamous “super bowl” day when Blake’s testosterone numbers were the lowest among the group:
  Blake: “…You paraded and berated me… Didn’t feel good.” (58:24)
• Comparing fashion choices, masculinity, and the idea of “signals”:
  Adam: “I feel there’s less shame in testosterone than Ozempic.” (57:30)
• “Feather in the cap” jokes about Cam Newton’s flamboyant hats.

13. 5 Year Anniversary Reflections & Inside Jokes

• Reminiscing about 90s childhood—yelling “Suck it!” at strangers in malls:

Tone & Atmosphere

Open, fast-paced, irreverently nostalgic, and self-aware. Adam, Anders, Blake, and Kyle weave “serious” discussions with deliberately unserious energy. Recurring bits, friendly roast sessions, and inside jokes are plentiful, honoring the “important” things: friendship, making each other laugh, and connecting with long-time listeners.

---

Closing Thoughts

After five years, the TII crew is just as playful and unpredictable as when they started. They celebrate their community, indulge in the goofiest and most mundane tangents, and demonstrate a rare, unfiltered friendship. Whether reminiscing about telling teachers to “blow me”, misordering at chain restaurants, or debating the Trombone of Billy Bob’s jowls, TII stays true to being “seriously important”—at least to them.

“We love doing it. We want to do it for a dozen more years or maybe 30 more days. We don’t know.” — Adam (72:43)

I'm still gonna say Sticks. This is Sticks.

I'm honoring my father by being at this concert. I'm with my dad at the concert. Oh, okay. And they're trying to push in between your strength. They're trying to push between me and my father.

[C]

Rush.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

He's a very important member. It's a. It's a good documentary.

[A]

Yes. I. My uncle, when I learned. I was trying to learn how to play the drums in like the eighth grade. And my parents bought me.

[B]

Cuz it's just magnet, dude. I was.

[A]

I gotta be slurping. I gotta be slurping. Give me a drum.

[C]

I gotta be slurping something.

[B]

Daddy needs a drum set.

[A]

Daddy needs a drum set. Once I get into high school I gotta be slurping. So I got a drum set for like $70. It was such a piece of. It was like you punch.

[C]

You.

[A]

Like when you would hit the. Like a. You. You would.

[C]

Your. A head.

[A]

The head drum. The head. The drum head. When you would hit it, the kit, the head would like dent in.

[C]

Sure.

[A]

It would like dent.

[C]

It had soft spots. Like.

[B]

You mean like the rim or in the like on the canvas thing or whatever?

[A]

No, in the part that you're. That you're hitting that you're supposed to hit the skin.

[B]

Do they call the skin.

[C]

I. You were hitting the skins.

[B]

Sure. Like I said. Like I said.

[C]

Cuz that's what they say.

[A]

The.

[C]

If you hit the skins, you'll. You'll be slurping in no time.

[A]

Slurp. And daddy wants to slurp. And so then my uncle, I. I was like trying to learn how to play. I. I knew one beat and I'm pretty sure you guys have seen me play this beat. It's.

[C]

Yeah, you always.

[A]

Yeah, that's. So I got my one beat and then people like, oh, you could play. And I'm like, I. I cannot.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So I was learning how to play and my uncle then gave me a DVD of it. Might have been a VHS at this point.

[C]

Oh hell yeah.

[A]

And yeah, I think it was a VHS of Neil Pert. He took all of his. Because my uncle like loves live. Like recordings of live shows. Yeah. And a lot of them are that he snuck in his camera and filmed himself. So it's like a shitty back of someone's head, right. Viewing of Neil Peart drumming and he cut like a super mix.

[B]

That person probably standing pretty strong though.

[A]

Yeah, there. That guy was standing strong.

[B]

No doubt.

[A]

Absolutely. There was a super mix of. Of that. And then I saw Neil Pert actually drumming and it made me want to quit. He was too good.

[C]

Yeah, you don't.

[B]

When you.

[A]

When someone's first starting, you don't show them the best that there ever was. Yeah.

[C]

Where do you start? What. What drummer? Maybe you go with like the dude from like Presidents of the United States of America. I think he used like just a. That's all he used. Maybe there was some symbol.

[B]

Yeah, I feel like that's probably where you got to start something like that.

[C]

Start with just a dude who's slaying a snare drum.

[B]

He just had a snare.

[A]

Well, I bet he's fine.

[B]

I feel like the beginning of the Lump Song is just a lot of the symbols.

[C]

You know what I Could just be envisioning a music video I saw.

[B]

Like, the only song I know from these guys starts off with just.

[C]

No, that's Bare Naked Ladies.

[B]

No, that's Crash Test Dummies.

[A]

There was this girl.

[C]

Yes, Sorry, sorry. Yeah, that's Crash Test Dummies. Bare Naked Ladies is. Is the chicken song. Yeah, Chicken to Chinese, which we cover.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And President of the United States of America, of course, is Lump. Of course it's Peaches. It's. Of course, it's little blue dude buggy.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Of course. It's that third one you mentioned.

[A]

Third one.

[C]

My Mach 5. That might be from the second album. I followed him all the way to number two.

[A]

Yeah, I mean, you say that, but that band actually kind of rips Peaches.

[C]

Oh, pot. You at Pot usa. They're one of the.

[B]

Lump is a party starter for sure.

[C]

That album, their first album, is literally flawless.

[B]

Is it called the Presence of the United States?

[C]

Yeah. And it's got. It's got like the golden little statues.

[A]

I like when they do it. I like when they do that.

[C]

Like. Like the frog.

[B]

And what decade was that?

[C]

The nineties.

[B]

Bald guy.

[C]

Yes. He actually the lead singer.

[B]

Bald guys in the 90s. Singer.

[C]

The lead singer.

[B]

Michael Stipe. Live true.

[C]

They looked very similar. The lead singular singer actually went on to become like I did and. But he became a kids. A kid's song performer.

[B]

Was that a Sling Blade?

[C]

He said Slinger man.

[B]

Goofy.

[C]

All right. French fried taters.

[B]

Okay, quick with it. I want to just say that's got to be the only Sling Blade reference ever made in the last five years.

[C]

Ten.

[B]

Yeah, five years. For sure. Sling Blade was such a moment.

[C]

Sling Blade is a great film.

[B]

I know, but, like, no one talks about Sling Blade.

[C]

They need to.

[A]

I think about it absolutely 100%.

[C]

Every time you get friends.

[A]

Every five years, I see Billy Bob Thornton.

[C]

Oh, yeah. Really?

[A]

Of the time. Every time I see him, I think of him.

[C]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

How fat he was in Sling Blade.

[C]

Well, he wasn't that fat.

[B]

You think about that. He was fat.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

He gained weight.

[C]

He's not that fat.

[B]

He's just hefty.

[A]

No, no, no. He was a thick.

[C]

Not really.

[B]

You don't think about Billy Bob Thornton on the red carpet saying, we fucked. And on the car on the way here. That's the one.

[C]

Yes, exactly. Because that is the clip that goes viral every.

[A]

But that's also. When I see him doing that, I'm like, that guy right there.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Was Sling Blade.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Who was morbidly obese and Sling Blade.

[B]

Wow. Gotcha.

[C]

He wasn't.

[B]

He was hefty. He was. No, he was down in Tombstone. He was hefty.

[C]

Who was he in Tombstone?

[B]

He's the guy who gets slapped in the face by, I believe, Kurt Russell.

[C]

That's Billy Zane, man.

[B]

No, Billy Zane is beautiful. He plays the actor.

[C]

This is top tier. This is important stuff, man. You could look it up, but I.

[A]

He's like, look at that link I just sent. That's him when he won the Academy Award for Sling Blade. And look at those chins. That's a. Jowls.

[B]

He's got jowls.

[C]

Come on, man. Give.

[B]

That's not that bad.

[C]

He's a normal human.

[A]

Hang on.

[B]

Pull up Billy Bob. Billy Bob. Tombstone.

[A]

Hey, hey, Todd. Find a fat photo of Billy Bob.

[C]

He's never been fat. He literally only been cool. Have you seen his photos when he's in, like, his band?

[A]

Hey, by the way. Oh, so now you. Now you think fat isn't cool? How dare you? You're such a fat.

[B]

I agree. Thank you, Adam.

[C]

You know how I feel.

[A]

I know. I remember in. What was it? Seattle? Yeah. You took me to town.

[C]

It was Oklahoma.

[B]

All right.

[C]

And I destroyed you.

[B]

Check the. Check the chat right now.

[C]

What do we got here?

[B]

You got a chunky looking. Look at that BBT tombstone.

[C]

Okay. Is that actually him?

[A]

Yes.

[C]

That doesn't even look like him to me. That looks like an actor who kind of looks like Billy Bob Thornton.

[A]

Hey, Blake, you are so dumb. Okay, that is Billy Bob Thornton.

[C]

And also Zora, He's. He's not that heavy. I think you guys have a. I think you have a really crazy sliding.

[B]

Scale for not obese. But he's got jowls. And I believe Adam just said neck.

[A]

No, he's not obese, but he. He looks.

[B]

You know, he became super thin.

[A]

Yeah. Now he's like, rail thin when he's.

[B]

When he's. Holly Berry and Monsters Ball. Bony.

[C]

How do you know this dude's whole entire.

[A]

No, he's Halle Berry and Monsters ball. That was.

[B]

I mean, though, I. I think of the one where he goes, we. On the way. In the car on the way here, and then I think about him hitting a doggy with Holly Berry.

[C]

Going French fried tater.

[B]

Yeah, I actually don't think about that movie at all. I think about. It's the top. It's the size of Texas from Armageddon.

[C]

That's him, too.

[B]

I think about the man who wasn't there. Coen Brothers movie.

[A]

I think about none of those Things. I think about him going and being kind of fat.

[C]

I think about his band. I think about him when he's in his rock band and his cool. Like, he wears. I don't.

[B]

Is it the. The Matchbox Racers or something?

[C]

You got that right. You're literally a stalker.

[A]

No, it's match. Maxbox 20 is world famous.

[B]

It's the Box Masters.

[C]

Wait, do you think that's a double meaning for our little Box Masters?

[A]

For sure.

[B]

Box Masters, you dog.

[C]

Yeah, you dog.

[B]

Let's just say he's playing the drums now.

[A]

The bummer is, is I hear he's like. I hear he's not that cool. Like, not that nice of a guy. And that's. That saddens me because you want.

[B]

What do you want him to be for you? You can't.

[A]

I want him to be for me. If I were to work with him, I would want to have a little relationship with Billy Bob and talk about his obesity and how he battled it and how he overcame it.

[B]

I want him to just be the best he can be in a scene and keep saying. God damn it, Anders, just say the lines.

[C]

Oh, you want him to pivot you.

[A]

Wow, you do a good Billy Bob.

[B]

Dude.

[C]

He's truly obsessed with it.

[B]

There's no way. He wouldn't. If I corrected him, it's like, Anders. He'd be like, okay, all right, Anders. And I'd go.

[A]

Now I would like to see you go toe to toe.

[B]

Hey, remember in Tombstone when you were Billy Blob? Then we're fighting.

[C]

Wait a second. Hold on.

[B]

I was looking some points.

[C]

Very good.

[B]

Billy Blob for ton.

[C]

Okay. A unit. A unit of weight doesn't stop.

[A]

I like. And D. Just said he didn't like doing the podcast just a minute ago, so. And then he. And then he comes out firing on all cylinders.

[C]

Very good. Five years later, still cracking me off.

[B]

Hang on. What's crazy is Adam wasn't even. He said slinger, and you just said Billy Bob or some shit. Can't remember.

[C]

Well, that's a very front. That is very front of mind movie to me. I'm constantly thinking about it because one of my greatest heroes is in that movie. Of course, John Ritter is excellent in the film. Yeah, yeah.

[B]

Has a. Not a mohawk, but like a strange buzz cut.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But he's. Is it set in the past or is it set in just a different state?

[B]

Well, because he hasn't said the past or south.

[C]

Well, the thing about John Ritter's character is he's a homosexual in A place in.

[A]

Yeah. Where you're not supposed.

[C]

Yes. And I can't remember if it's because it's the past or if it's just in a different part of the country.

[A]

I don't think it's the past. I thought it was just in a. A state that it, you know, that doesn't fly. My guy.

[C]

But also Billy Bob is wearing like a. Like a prison outfit the whole movie. That seems kind of old school as well.

[A]

I would. I would like to give a shout out to Nebraska. I've been to Nebraska twice in the last two weeks and.

[C]

Oh, we're. You were just talking about.

[A]

I feel like it used to be a place that you wouldn't want to be gay. I ran into so many gay people there now.

[B]

They're husking the corn now.

[C]

Hell yeah, baby.

[A]

Give them more points. The guy's on fire.

[C]

He really is, man. Five years.

[B]

Sling Blade takes takes place in Arkansas in 1996. So, yes, the bad, the past.

[A]

Didn't that movie come out in 1996?

[B]

Yeah, that was half of the joke was that.

[A]

Oh, no, I did. I didn't know.

[B]

So wait a second. You're saying Lincoln is just the gay capital of the Midwest now?

[A]

No, no, it wasn't Lincoln I was in. I mean, I was in both places, but yeah, it was just. I ran into quite a few gay people.

[B]

Move over. Columbus, for sure.

[C]

That's awesome.

[A]

Inclusive and what I assume are them, they.

[B]

And when you run into these people, you stand in strong or you.

[A]

I don't even know if I need to stand strong in that case.

[B]

But you absolutely do.

[A]

Oh, I do.

[B]

Oh, yeah. I actually. Are we still on? I can't get into it, but if we're still on, I can't get into it. But you sure? You sure do.

[A]

We're still on. We are still on.

[C]

We don't ever go off, go off, go off.

[A]

We're on for an hour and then five years later and we don't talk to each other for a week.

[B]

And so you're saying. You're saying Omaha.

[C]

Omaha is inclusive. You're feeling the inclusion.

[A]

Yeah, I really did. I really did in a way that I don't remember. I don't remember in the 90s when I was a kid, it being a place where it was free to be.

[C]

You could be where, like, you would.

[A]

Just run into a bunch of gay people.

[B]

Again, you're running into these. What was like, how did you know these were gay people and what were they doing? Were they at the football Game.

[C]

No way.

[A]

Just stores, bars, bartenders, you know.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. Sound about.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And I'm not, you know. You know, I didn't. They didn't say, hey, I'm a gay guy, but they just ran. There's some tells. There's. Sure.

[B]

What are your top. What are your top. One tells that someone's gay.

[A]

Dangly earring.

[C]

What?

[A]

No.

[B]

We'll do one or two.

[A]

Dangly earring.

[C]

Dangly earring.

[A]

Dangly earring.

[B]

I agree. Unless there's a feather on the dangle and then you.

[A]

Anything. If you have a feather, you'll.

[C]

Whatever you're saying. Kyrie Irving.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Kyrie Irving will. Anything.

[B]

He's got a dangly earring.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

For a feather. Who's.

[C]

Yeah, probably him and Mr. T. Who else has a feminine.

[A]

Probably. But. But I feel like athletes don't count because they take. They made too much money too quickly and they take insane swings.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

Just absolute bizarre swings.

[B]

Okay. Like fashion swings.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Well. And also, you have to. You have to spend your money somewhere.

[B]

Think stressing these people, Adam.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. Makes sense. Makes sense.

[C]

Oh, I didn't.

[B]

You guys think it's gay people. Okay. I was.

[C]

What the.

[A]

Oh, you walked us into that.

[B]

I was going to say they're best friends, but okay.

[C]

Okie dokie stylist. Wow, you're really walking us into traps, man. Five Later.

[B]

Blake, what's your number one? Tell that someone's probably a gay person.

[C]

I don't.

[B]

I love podcasting.

[C]

What is it?

[B]

Let's make some headlines. For me, it's. If there's like a guy that's number one for me.

[A]

Well, that would be number one. I don't see that. I don't see that a lot. I did.

[B]

Number two is dangly.

[A]

I was going into not scary Farm one time. Me and Chloe was. Wouldn't actually we're meeting Blake and his ex wife. It was that same night.

[C]

Blake. Okay.

[A]

We were going in and Chloe was meeting your wife or ex wife for the first time, and she was a little nervous. And we were going in and I look over and there's two lines to. To get into the parking area. And we were in one line. This car right next to us was obviously in the other line. I look over, one man is bent over the dash, and the guy who was driving the car was fingering his. Wow.

[B]

Dude.

[A]

Blasting it.

[B]

He might have sat on something, lost something.

[C]

Yeah. Was he get. Maybe he. Something was stuck. Yeah.

[A]

I don't know if he lost his keys in there or what was up his Ass. But it certainly seemed like it was leaning gay.

[B]

Kept clicking.

[A]

It was leaning.

[C]

You can always.

[B]

I can see that.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

You can assume things, but you never draw a total line in the scene.

[A]

Yeah, you're like, you don't know.

[C]

There's a strong, strong probability, but I don't.

[A]

Strong probability.

[B]

Do you guys, like when there's somebody who. You just don't know?

[A]

I don't know.

[C]

This is five year stuff, man. This is heady five year stuff. What are you. What are you asking Br. I might have to listen to this one back.

[A]

Hold on. What do we put on the glasses?

[C]

I'm gonna start jotting somebody notes.

[A]

I love. Blake has glasses without frames that he. He uses for dress up on zooms.

[B]

You meet somebody and they have the equivalent of what you would call a feather earring. And so you are going, all right, okay. Yeah.

[C]

You're saying, like, when you meet somebody and you go like. Like, what's this person's story?

[A]

Right, so Blake with those glasses right now.

[B]

Yes.

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

If we didn't know Blake and we just met him and you're. You're like, oh, you're talking to him and you're like, huh, Right. Those glasses don't have frames in them or glasses, rather.

[C]

A lot of. A lot of what you guys are talking about are fashion choices.

[B]

And is that so they can be fucked.

[C]

Through my eye?

[B]

So you can take a dick straight to the eye?

[C]

Well, I never thought of that, but.

[A]

Yeah, I mean, yeah, I think what we're talking about here, and I don't want to put words or anything in your mouth.

[C]

Okay, wait a minute.

[B]

Why are we here then?

[C]

Yes.

[B]

Points. What are we even doing?

[A]

You're talking fashion. You're talking fashion choice.

[B]

No, I'm talking vibe. And then. But then they say something like, my girlfriend or my wife or my kids.

[A]

And you go, yeah, I think that happens a lot. A lot, A lot. Yeah, I think that happens a lot.

[B]

I think it's just interesting because in my mind I go, okay, but in the other back of my mind, I.

[C]

Go the deep not right.

[B]

We're all, hey, man, as soon as you're out, great.

[A]

It's fine. Yeah, we don't care.

[B]

But like, come on.

[A]

But also, I think sometimes, you know, they. I mean, that's kind of best case scenario for these guys, right? If they swing both ways, they get a wife. It's easier to walk through society if you're like, yeah, my wife. And, you know, you know, some people are homophobic or whatever. You can always Be like, hey, I got a wife. But then these wives are cool. If they know. If they know.

[B]

Yeah, we just.

[A]

They know they're gay.

[C]

And then.

[A]

And then they'll probably let you go. Dudes. It's kind of the best of both worlds.

[B]

But I'm also like, do they know or are they both like.

[C]

No, no, no, they're figuring it out.

[A]

They don't.

[B]

Yeah. I don't know.

[C]

I don't know, man.

[A]

I don't know. Blake, how's it work for you that.

[C]

I feel like I just try to live my truth, man. Yeah, just try to live my truth.

[B]

Behind prescriptionless glasses.

[A]

What does that mean? Yeah, behind those glasses with. Without actual. What do they call it? Just the glasses. Right. What do they call the lenses?

[B]

Lenses?

[A]

No, the frames.

[C]

Lenses and frames.

[A]

The frames are what you're wearing the frames by focus. The lenses are what are not in.

[C]

There because the lenses are scratched. I've. I've. You know, I have these by my side just in case I need to do some prop comedy. But yeah, again, these are Teddy's old glasses from a long time ago.

[A]

Vintage.

[B]

I think I remember those. Super scratched.

[C]

Yeah, they're very scratched.

[B]

And then was it hard to get the lenses out or did you have to like, crush them?

[C]

No, they pop right out. They pop right out.

[B]

And you kept those?

[C]

Yeah, I keep. I keep everything.

[B]

Cause it's like keeping a little piece of Teddy.

[C]

I keep everything.

[B]

That's true. That's right.

[C]

I keep everything. I'm not a hoarder, though.

[C]

I actually had a quote.

[B]

Nice.

[C]

That I. It's gonna take me a while to find. That was about hoarding that I wanted to send you guys because you guys have accused me of being a hoarder.

[B]

I.

[A]

Well, you're a uber collector. You're not a hoarder. Where you keep, like, pizza boxes and trash around.

[C]

There we go.

[A]

But you do keep everything, which an.

[C]

Ex girlfriend called me a hoarder. Actually, I'm a collector, and I archive. And that spoke to me. I do collect. I have my comic book collection.

[B]

Right.

[C]

And I have my figurines. And then I archive things that I think are important to not only myself, but maybe. Maybe that later in life you guys would be like, stoked on.

[A]

Yes. And I will say, sometimes you'll bust out a T shirt, like from our lives, something from Game over man or Workaholics or even older than that. That I'll be like, oh, yeah, I. I should have saved that shirt. That was awesome. Great, great job, Blake.

[C]

Thank you.

[A]

But, you know, it's a lot of work for maybe the three times that's happened in my life. You don't have to. You don't have to do that for us.

[C]

I know it's my burden, but when I see it light up for that. You know when you see the T.

[B]

Shirt for just for that moment, for that where he's like, oh, are those those dice we used to have at the house?

[A]

All right, cool.

[B]

I have to go.

[C]

My little heart smiles and it makes it all worth it to me.

[A]

Happy. Hey, Happy five years.

[C]

Happy five year anniversary to what was happening five years ago. My. Well, there's a global pandemic. That's right.

[A]

And we got what happened is we got so bored during the pandemic that we decided to do a podcast.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And then we just kept doing it.

[C]

We really.

[A]

We just kept doing it for five years. That seems kind of crazy.

[B]

I mean, it's kind of a. It's a. It's a good deal. You know, I get to catch up with my guys.

[C]

Yeah, absolutely. When you listen, you know, when they drop these Best of, when we, you know, we can't. We can't find time in the day to get one of these off.

[B]

Can't feed the hordes.

[C]

Yeah, those best of. There's some really funny gold in them hills.

[A]

Oh, absolutely.

[B]

Do you listen to the best?

[C]

That's actually the ones I like.

[B]

Are you archiving them?

[A]

Yeah, I like. I do like the best of us. I didn't listen this last one, but I. I do like a best of because, you know, you forget about those if you listen to a podcast that. That we just filmed a week or two ago.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You're like, oh, I remember this whole damn thing Once.

[B]

Do you really?

[A]

Once it starts to go, I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah. But then a Best of, I don't remember a thing.

[C]

Right. And then. And then people kind of. They listen and they bring up stuff like. There was one question where we never solved. I was trying to figure out what singer from the 90s. He had a very specific, raspy voice. We never answered the question to it. People were like, like, is it this is the answer was. I remember it was Richard Marks. Was the. Was the name. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know that I haven't listened to the newest best of, but I guess that was a question we had left unanswered. But it was Richard Marks.

[B]

Great head of hair.

[C]

Oh, incredible. What's your catalog?

[B]

I feel like we covered him, right? Didn't we? Like, we talked about Richard Marks a lot. Maybe.

[A]

I feel Richard Marks, he was a good, like, roller skating music. Like a couple skate. When they'd say, it's a couple skate.

[B]

Right.

[A]

You're scanning that. You're scanning the floor. You're like, where's my girls? You know, Sarah Pairings. Sure. Where's Shannon Toma? Out there.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

Where is that? Where is that one?

[C]

I never let her.

[A]

Where's Keegan Neater Deputy? I gotta. I gotta roller skate. Right.

[B]

And even if you're, like, holding hands and you both fall and you look at each other on the floor in that song still playing, and you look into each other's eyes, you're like, we're Never gonna forget this.

[A]

And then your hands. Your hands out there. And then Ryan Jonica's ass comes and just inline skates directly over your fingers.

[C]

Dude, what the.

[B]

Well, where'd he get those cool roller blades?

[A]

Those are sick, dude.

[C]

Damn. But he kind of. He kind of ruined the moment a little bit.

[B]

It is kind of that. It is kind of that. Happy fifth anniversary. You know what's funny when. Yeah, to us, when they send the, like, hey, what do you guys want to title this week's episode? And I read the, like, seven suggestions or whatever. I'm like, I don't know what these are pertaining to.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh, yeah. No, I never quite remember.

[B]

Yeah, they're like, zip popping, made fun. And I'm like, what?

[C]

Well, because this is all just off the top of the dome, man. We're just freestyling, baby.

[A]

It is fun when people ask or like, what's the point of your. Of your podcast? What is the idea, the theme or whatever? I'm like, it's called this is important. And like, oh, do you have important topics that you cover? I'm like, literally, it's just us talking about. Usually pretty nostalgic from our childhood in the 90s. And they're like, oh, that sounds stupid. And I'm like, yeah, I'm a dumbass. That's right. Yeah, that's right.

[C]

Yeah. My dentist asked me today because she's like, what are you doing later today? And I'm like, oh, I got a podcast. She's like, well, oh, yeah? What do you guys talk about?

[A]

I'm like, don't listen. Please don't listen.

[C]

Yeah, don't, please.

[B]

None of your business.

[C]

You have to be. Have your fingers in my mouth.

[A]

I just.

[C]

I don't even want. I don't even want you knowing what I'm talking about.

[B]

I had an older neighbor double down on it. He goes, no, what's it called? I go, this is important, but I. I don't think you'd enjoy it. And he goes, well, I'll give it a shot. And I go, honestly, don't. Otherwise it's just going to be, like, weird. And he goes, I'm going to check it out.

[A]

I'm like, I wish you would.

[B]

I'm begging you. So I push him over, I steal his mail.

[C]

You're done.

[B]

He went missing.

[A]

I. I told you guys that my neighbor, they've since moved. They sold the house. But because I think he listened to the podcast. The neighbor's kids. The neighbor was 96 years old. He since passed away. RIP Wayland. He was the man, but great name. He passed away and his kids were, I think in their 60s. And the one son.

[B]

Well, was like, too much for you, Blake? 60s. Too much.

[A]

I'm gonna listen to podcasts. I was like, I don't know, maybe not. And then next time I saw him, he said, I listened to every episode.

[B]

And I'm like, it's been 48 hours.

[A]

And he goes, I'm just the kind of. I mean, it was like months and months, but he was like, I'm the kind of guy that I have to start at the beginning of something. So I started at the beginning and I listened to everyone and he was like. Like, I actually loved it because I love what. What a friendship you guys have. You can tell that you're best friends. And I. I cried.

[B]

And Adam. And Adam, come on, sing, sing. Happy anniversary. Happy anniversary. I hope it's okay, Blake. I had the 60 year old people here.

[A]

By the way. He's 60, he's not like 90. He doesn't sound like that. But happy anniversary to you.

[C]

Damn.

[B]

Yeah, I mean, yeah, it is the. I mean, it was the Funniest podcast of 20. 23.

[A]

3.

[C]

Yeah. Right.

[A]

According to iHeartra radio awards, kind of the. One of the biggest awards for podcasting. Besides, now it's going to be the Golden Globes. Oh, my God.

[C]

Come on.

[A]

God. They're going to give podcast awards.

[C]

Oh, they are?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Oh, this is news to me.

[A]

Yeah, Golden Globes. And I guess dust off the tuxedo. They. I guess Theo Vaughn is. Is like the front. Going to be a front runner. And then he straight up said, like, I don't. I don't want it. I don't know.

[C]

Okay, well, easy for her. For her to say.

[B]

I mean, don't you just accept. Don't you like. Because I get it. It's like, who gives a. But don't you accept it for everyone who, like, works for you and with you and like, puts their time and effort into it to go. Like, I'm here to represent them.

[A]

I mean, we. We for sure would go. We'd be stoked.

[B]

Yeah. And I'd be like, I don't need anyone.

[C]

Well, yeah, that would. But generally it doesn't matter. Like, an award is, you know, it is what it is. You don't. That's not why you do it is to be awarded. Right?

[A]

Speak for yourself. What.

[B]

Why you do it, why you podcast or why you do anything.

[C]

Why you do any form. Like any form of. I suppose if art.

[B]

So what I'M saying is when you are awarded, it is a recognition of what you have been part of creating. And so I'm saying they don't want his. Whoever to show up. They want him to show up. And if he shows up, it can shine on all these producers who tell their parents what they do. And the parents are like, okay. It gives them a moment to be like, hey, I saw him say your name on the Golden Globe.

[A]

That is very cool.

[C]

Through these five years, there's no way we could do it without Anna and Todd. And of course, Isaac has been so fundamental.

[B]

Integral, I like to say, seminal and integral.

[C]

Awesome. Yeah.

[A]

And that one time he gave us the list of one thing to talk about, which was just the cruise. He was like, I'm gonna give you a list.

[C]

And then, well, trash pandas. And then.

[B]

Is that real? You remembered the list?

[A]

Yeah. Yes.

[B]

No, the list.

[A]

Of course he gave us a list. He told me before the podcast, I'm gonna give you a list of, like.

[C]

Just things to talk about, to bring up.

[A]

And I'm like, okay, yeah. And he's like, I'm just gonna be more involved on the podcast front. And I'm like, yeah, hell yeah.

[B]

What happened? What do you think happened?

[A]

We made fun of it and he got his feelings hurt. He gave us a list. And the list was one. One thing long, right? And it was just talk about the cruise. So I'd like to bring up the cruise.

[C]

Yeah, absolutely.

[A]

Cruise. February twenty something to whatever. It's leaving Fort Lauderdale to Cozumel.

[C]

Well done.

[A]

Nick Schwartz and Adam Ray, Bobby Lee. A ton of great comics. We got some fun bands.

[C]

It is going to be very. It is going to be very fun.

[A]

It's going to be an absolute banger. And we've got some very special guests that we're locking in right now. So please, please, please buy your tickets.

[B]

And no hints. No hints about who the guest is.

[C]

No, absolutely not. It's Vegas. It's a city of mystery.

[A]

Will it be.

[C]

Will I am Will I am.

[B]

Will it?

[A]

Will Bruno Mars come pay off some of his debts?

[B]

Will it be Bruce Willis?

[C]

Does Bruno Mars owe us a favor?

[A]

Bruno Mars gonna pay off some of his debt.

[C]

That would be cool.

[B]

Someone tried to come at me about. About the. We had a podcast where we talked about who wants to be a billionaire? And I guess it's Bruno Mars. And they were like, it's fucking Bruno Mars, not the guy who got arrested with his mom for whatever.

[C]

I'm like, do not come. No. That was the Sean King Kingston debate. Right?

[B]

I. I said that like it's Sean Kingston. Did the who wants to be a billionaire? And they were like, it's.

[A]

What is. Who wants to be a billionaire?

[B]

I don't. I don't know.

[C]

Beautiful girl. I don't.

[B]

But these people came at me, like, hard, being like, yo, it's actually Bruno Mars. And I'm like, awesome. You know that. I don't. Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And we're back.

[C]

We don't know.

[A]

It is. It is crazy how people will retain information from the podcast. I. I was just back in Omaha. I do. I go on a hunt with family and friends.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

Once. And we just did it. There's no drama. If you remember last year.

[B]

Drama.

[A]

There was a lot of drama.

[B]

That's great.

[A]

We almost weren't invited back. This year we squashed the beef. And we are back. And we are back killing birds, which is so fun. I hate birds. So.

[B]

Yeah, he's got a history.

[C]

It is weird to think, like, I eat a ton of birds.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

You don't think about that, really, when you're looking at these.

[A]

Murder them. Murder.

[B]

They're good.

[C]

They nourish me. They nourish me.

[A]

If you want to come sometimes, Blake, one year.

[C]

I always want. I'm going to come.

[A]

Feel free. I. The invite is wide open for the both of you if you want to go hunting.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

Okay. If you want to go.

[B]

That sounds great.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Can I smoke weed inside?

[A]

Absolutely.

[C]

God, no, dude.

[B]

It's just. I got some dabs just for the bomb.

[C]

Let's dab it up, brother.

[A]

Oh, God. But we just. We just went and we go to this steakhouse every year. The night before we leave, we fly into Omaha. We stared there the night before so we could leave super early in the morning and make the two hour drive to the cabin.

[C]

Right?

[A]

So the night before, we go to this steakhouse, the Drover, which is a famous steakhouse in Omaha. It's so good. Whiskey marinated. Oh, whiskey marinated, baby. And they've got a Sick salad bar set up.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

And you know, Daddy loves a salad bar. Of course.

[C]

All you can eat.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Your boobs are huge.

[C]

I love that.

[A]

You could keep going back to the salad bar. And it's all on ice. It's fantastic.

[C]

I can't see.

[B]

Stop eating.

[A]

And so I'm there, and they're grilling the steaks behind, like, a partition behind the salad bar.

[C]

I love that.

[A]

And this guy goes, what's up, Adam? And I'm like, oh, hey, man. How's it going? You know? And. And he goes, you're here for the hunt, right? And I go, yeah. And he goes, you here with Mikey and your dad? Yep. And I go, I. Yeah. Yeah, actually, I am him. And he's like, that's sick. Yeah. You said on the podcast that you always roll through with Mikey and your dad.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And I'm like, yeah, dude.

[B]

Look, look. And I think the person you're talking about who retained all this is listening right now.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And I just want you to be careful about. Shout out how you. The tone, I guess the tone. I'm just a little worried about the tone.

[C]

That shit's important.

[A]

No, no, I. I loved it. It was awesome.

[B]

And what I'll call this guy's passion.

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

About the details.

[A]

Yes. It did throw me for a second that this guy knew my dad. And Mikey, of course.

[B]

Sure.

[C]

Of course.

[B]

Passionate man.

[A]

It threw me. That being said. Loved that it happened. You love being thrown that it happened. And I loved. I love the Drover. Big shout out. I made their Instagram so you know it's real.

[C]

Wait, is that. What is the Drover's Instagram?

[A]

I think it's just the Drover.

[B]

Blake, stop.

[C]

I want to go on the Drover right now.

[B]

Are you. How old are you? 60.

[A]

They gave me a hat. I wish I was wearing it.

[C]

No, it's Drover Steakhouse. Of course it wasn't at the Drover. You can't. You can't get that.

[B]

What do you mean?

[C]

It's a Drover Steakhouse.

[B]

It was.

[A]

Yeah, okay. Yeah. What? You kick it.

[C]

And you did. Look at this.

[A]

I mean, yeah. Yeah.

[C]

Look at there.

[B]

It's massive. Is that the Mikey?

[C]

That is the Mikey, dude. You guys look great, by the way.

[A]

Thank you.

[C]

Oh, you got Drover hats.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

You got merged out.

[B]

What is the vibe of the Drover? It sounds fancy.

[A]

Hey, by the way, look, it's not that that's their mascot.

[C]

Just a guy is a Drover. Like a cattle Drover.

[A]

It's just a A guy frowning so hard.

[C]

Yeah. He doesn't look happy to be there at all.

[A]

I love. I love it. It's the best mascot. Just a fucking guy. Guy who's very unhappy.

[C]

Charles Bronson, he's so tired from working. Like, he can't. He can't even smile.

[A]

It's. It's. It's a nice steakhouse, but it's not. You don't have to be, like, dressed up. People have hats on, and people are, you know, Carhartt jackets and.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, because I. You know when you eat somewhere where, like, you go for breakfast and everybody's there in their camo in the morning before the hunt. Yeah, but this is a nighttime steakhouse.

[A]

Yeah, no, it's. It's a nice. It's a nice steakhouse.

[B]

Got it.

[C]

It looks delicious. It is.

[A]

And I. If next time you guys are back in Omaha.

[B]

Is Drover a past tense situation where it's like you're somebody who just drove.

[C]

Cattle all day, like, they didn't know driver drove.

[A]

I don't know what that means. I. I truly don't.

[C]

I'm guessing it's a cattle drover. If this was. Who wants to be a cattle driver?

[B]

And then they retired to open a restaurant, and he was like, honey, I'm a drover. And she's like, you drove her crazy, honey.

[C]

Hey, can you get out there and get the cattle? Nah, I'm a drover now. I don't. I don't drive no mo.

[B]

Yeah, those days of Drover.

[C]

Now I'm cooking steaks and frowning my ass off.

[A]

A drover is a person who herds or drives livestock, such as cattle or sheep, over long distances, typically to market. Okay, so now we know.

[B]

Somebody's been on here five years.

[C]

Knew it.

[A]

Look at that.

[C]

Celebrity Jeopardy. Pays off again.

[B]

And are you a tenderloin guy? Are you, like, a strip? Are you.

[A]

I'm a ribeye. I'm a ribeye man, for the most part. I might do a New York strip. I ain't afraid of it, you know.

[C]

And they're showing some. Some lobster and some crab.

[B]

You gotta get that Omaha lobster.

[C]

Where are they getting that from? Where are you pulling that out from?

[A]

If I had to guess, the Missouri River. Okay.

[C]

That's that good old Missouri lobster. Yeah.

[A]

Things you're able to get stuff.

[C]

Sure.

[A]

Across the country.

[B]

FedEx overnight.

[A]

So it's. It's fresh. It's very good.

[C]

Maybe it increases the price a little bit.

[A]

No, this is Omaha. Things aren't increased.

[B]

I doubt it.

[C]

Yeah, well, I just know when you buy stuff like in Alaska, it's very pricey because it takes a lot to get stuff.

[B]

You got another market.

[A]

Blake, shut the up, okay? This is Omaha. Things are great. Things are great. Okay.

[B]

Alaska's a different situation. They don't have any taxes.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

It comes out okay.

[A]

Siri's talking to me now. God damn it.

[C]

You just told your family to shut the fuck up.

[A]

I'm so sorry.

[C]

I'm alerting the police.

[A]

I am so sorry. It's a volume that. Just that it's my bad.

[C]

I wasn't trying to diss Omaha or Nebraska or Lincoln, any of that.

[A]

I would say this was maybe my best trip back to Omaha. Like, okay, we stayed downtown down. It was a beautiful day. Like the. The old market in downtown Omaha. It was just lively. People are out walking. There's bars, there's restaurants.

[B]

That's like the city center.

[C]

We've been there. Right where the Italian restaurant is. That's so delicious.

[A]

Yeah, we were there. It was way too cold. Oh, yeah, the.

[B]

I love that place.

[A]

Why am I blanking on it? The old spaghetti.

[B]

The meatball factory. Spaghetti factory. Yeah.

[A]

Spaghetti works.

[C]

Yeah, Spaghetti works. Yes, the best. The best.

[A]

The old spaghetti works where I ordered.

[C]

Ordered terribly, of course. I got some, like, pepper. Pepper something. And it was too many peppers. I should have just gone with the spaghetti.

[A]

Yeah. That's a little bit of a tourist trap.

[B]

Yeah. Remember how we've. We've. We've said you don't order what you should at the place.

[C]

I'm a terrible order. Yeah, it's my bad, Blake.

[A]

Well, I know what it is. Because he gets the grain. No, because he doesn't actually want to eat food. He doesn't actually want to eat.

[C]

Here we go again.

[A]

Here's what he does. We go to a restaurant. It's a. It's a burger place famous for burgers, known for their burgers.

[B]

Oh, a side of asparagus.

[A]

I order a burger, Anders orders a burger, and Blake goes, maybe. What about their flash fried asparagus burger?

[C]

And you're like, huh, Sounds kind of hitters.

[A]

Yeah, that's what you would say. That sounds kind of hitters. I guess I'll order that. And then you get it and you're like, oh, mine's horrible.

[B]

Kind of a bite.

[C]

Yeah, well, you guys don't finish your meals.

[A]

Yeah. And then. And then you'll be like, can I. Can I. Can I get a bite of yours? And you're like, I don't finish. I don't. I don't know.

[C]

I mean, I, I, I can vulture your guys's stuff if you don't finish yours.

[A]

But we finish ours.

[B]

Good luck. I get a cup of chili on the side. Playboy.

[A]

Dude, I'm basically the Billy Bob Thornton of our group. Group. Battling obesity every day until I get way too skinny here in the future.

[B]

Right, right.

[C]

Well, I'm getting better at it once.

[A]

I get on my gpa, gpl ones or whatever.

[B]

We gotta get it. We gotta.

[C]

What's the GPL one?

[B]

The. That's WeGovy and all that.

[A]

We'll. Govi.

[C]

Yeah, Wait, sorry. Have we talked about this? What's with Govi? Did we talk about this place?

[B]

Have we. I don't.

[C]

I feel like I know the macros.

[B]

What's the number one brand? I can't anymore.

[C]

Like, you're either fat and I don't like you oic.

[B]

It's Ozempic.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

Okay. Okay. Yes.

[A]

Which, yeah, we should all get on it. I would like to see how skinny Blake gets, by the way.

[B]

I, I do love the idea of us being like, have you heard of it? Yeah, I, I mean, I've, I. Are you on it?

[A]

Are you on it?

[B]

Yeah, if you're on it, I'm on it. But are you honest?

[C]

There's no, there's no shame in the game, right there?

[B]

Actually, there's a lot of shame in the game.

[C]

Yeah. Like, I don't know.

[B]

I don't think there's shame, but I think a lot of people don't talk about it. They just say, yeah, I went to my doctor and they said I should stop doing all these things. And I did. Wink, wink, and I lost 40 pounds in 30 days.

[C]

This is the only shame I see in any of these games as far as, like, if you're getting, like, any sort of, like, Botox or Ozempic or you're changing, there's no shame in it. Do whatever the fuck you want. If it's really expensive, go off. Okay, maybe it's like, yo, like, chill. You're spending so much money on this stuff. It seems a little unimportant because you're beautiful the way you are. You know what I mean?

[B]

But also, what is your point? Yeah, if it's expensive, you shouldn't do it. Even if you're wildly rich. It's all relative.

[C]

That's where I would see the shame, where you're like, wait. We're just like, wait. How much money do you spend on the way you look?

[A]

Yeah, but if you have money.

[B]

But what if you're a billionaire, then money doesn't matter.

[C]

Yeah, I could see shame in that. If you were like someone who like shouldn't be spending that much money on that kind of stuff. That seems like maybe a shameful act to me.

[B]

So to you it's about money?

[A]

If you can't afford food for your children, yes. But you can inject yourself with Skinny Serum.

[C]

You might be a redneck.

[B]

Yeah, if you pay to get some wegovy though, you're not eating. And then your kids can eat well.

[C]

You can re govi your kids.

Even more important than that, when they go number two, go with the number one in clean for little dudes.

[C]

New Little dude Wipes.

[B]

The flushable wipes for kids are gentle enough for little cheeks and strong enough for toddler streaks.

[C]

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

[A]

Yep, always.

[C]

But what about their back sides?

[A]

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

[C]

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. Trust me, we got a lot going on these days. And you know, I'm just as stinky as my kids.

[B]

Kids.

[A]

Kids can get stinky. And so can Blake.

[C]

Totally.

[A]

You reek, dude. But now you can eliminate that stank with Little dude Wipes Bubble bomb. The bubble gum scented flushable wet wipe for your little stinker. They're made with 99% water and 100 plant based natural fibers. Available exclusively at Walmart nationwide. I wonder if you can get. It's called GLP1. If you can get a GLP1.

I'm waiting for the two.

[A]

And mix it with testosterone. Now that's something that I would inject. Yeah.

[C]

Hello.

[B]

Can we get. Hey Pharma. All those pharmaceutical. Those bro pharmaceutical reps listening.

[A]

Yeah, what's up?

[C]

Is there five?

[B]

Can we brand something? Can we do a double whammy where it's just the tea mixed with the G lp?

[C]

Genius.

[B]

And get this going. And it's just called. It's called Daddy's milkshake.

[A]

Oh, Daddy's milkshake.

[B]

Oh, I like that.

[A]

That's something I would slurp the cause of diarrhea. You know daddy's looking to slurp.

[C]

Yeah, you want to slurp? Comes full circle. Let daddy slurp on his milkshake.

[B]

Do you guys see the. The Instagram feed where the guy's like, I stopped people on the street who are in shape and I ask them how they do it.

[A]

It.

[C]

Yeah, I don't.

[B]

And I love that there's so many older guys that are like, I work out Five days a week, also taking a ton of testosterone. And you go, all right, well, it's almost not all, but, like, it's. A lot of these older guys are like, I'm on testosterone. What do we. Okay, yeah, duh.

[A]

Your boobs are huge. Any old guy that's actually very jacked is on testosterone.

[B]

Right. Or they're Italian.

[C]

And there's no shame in that.

[A]

I feel there's less shame in testosterone than the Ozempic.

[C]

Well, maybe you would feel shame if your body doesn't naturally produce it. You feel like less of a man. That's a shame element for some men.

[B]

Oh, Blake. Adam and I actually don't.

[C]

Some men are shamed publicly. Some men are shamed at the super bowl day after day after day, and they just kind of have to eat it and be. And then they're told now that there is no shame and that it's fine to take.

[A]

Well, Blake, there's no shame in you having little to no testosterone.

[C]

I don't think there was.

[A]

Was.

[C]

I never thought there was until the super bowl where it seemed like I was kind of chastised about it. That's.

[B]

Well, yeah, sure, dude.

[A]

The. The shame came. The shame. I think the funny part was how devastated you were when you. When the numbers came in and yours was the lowest.

[C]

No, no, no, no.

[B]

By a large.

[C]

No, no, no, no. Cuz, you know, large margin.

[A]

No.

[C]

This is fun because it is a five year anniversary and I kind of wanted to touch upon the, you know, our favorite moments. And you're saying there wasn't shame, but hero after hero was brought onto stage. Was the Johnny. It was Joey Chestnut, Donovan McNabb. And you paraded and berated me in front of these people. And. And it didn't feel good.

[B]

And we even went on castrated.

[A]

Even Flutie. Doug Flutie, who is Pro T. He does the New Genics commercials.

[C]

Of course.

[A]

Doug Flutie.

[B]

Did you say New Genics?

[A]

It's New Genics, Right.

[B]

Okay, good. I thought you said something else. Okay, they said Eugenics commercials. Different commercial.

[C]

I don't know what that is.

[A]

I don't even know what that is. Okay, but Nugenics, So he's happy.

[B]

Five years, 69.

[A]

So he does the New Genics commercials. And he's pro. He's all about the tea. So we're Talking tea with Mr. T. Yeah.

[B]

Sipping the tea with Mr. T. But.

[C]

Then we went on like, Cam Newton's podcast, and you kind of paraded it out there, and it was the way you were presenting it. And I. I kind of recall you saying, like, who has the least amount? Who's, like, the biggest of the group?

[A]

Like, stuff like that. No, no, no. I was.

[B]

I would say Cam Newton has more testosterone than us.

[A]

Well, yeah, absolutely.

[B]

Combined.

[A]

Well, I don't know, because I look at those. Those hats, and I go, that seems like a low team move, right? Like, because it's. You're peacocking, so you're, like, saying, like, hey, look at. Look at me. Yeah.

[B]

Like, and you think that that's an estrogen.

[A]

And I feel like that's what Blake's kind of doing with the hair.

[C]

This kind of brings us back to the start of the pod. I mean, you know, you look at someone, you're like, what's their story? And are they. Are they closet?

[A]

Right.

[C]

Yeah, but no, I don't think that's the case.

[B]

So just so I can get the headline right here, you think Cam. Cam Newton's got a feather?

[C]

I think he could rock one very easily.

[A]

That guy can rock anything.

[C]

And if you go. If you rewind the pod, I wouldn't assume anything about him because of that.

[B]

Just. I would assume. Pretty good quarterback.

[C]

Yeah, well, I. I don't assume anything about anyone. I see a hall of Famer. Never made an assumption.

[A]

I don't know.

[B]

I don't know.

[A]

I don't know football that well, but he's great. But I think insane. He's on first take a lot here lately. I've been watching. He wears, like, multiple vests. Like, like three or four vests.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And then sweaters underneath it. And then, like. Like a bow tie. Yeah. And then an insane hat. Hat. I'm like, what is happening?

[B]

I mean, look, when. When you're worth $300 million or whatever, you're like, I'll take all four of those vests. I'll wear them all now.

[A]

I guess so. You gotta take swings.

[C]

You gotta take swings to make trends, to start trends, man. Otherwise.

[A]

Is that what it's all about? Starting a trend?

[B]

Yeah, sure. Don't you wish you started six' seven?

[C]

Yeah, man. It's killer.

[A]

Mine. I. I would like to see start. 5, 8. 5, 8.

[B]

Good luck. Good luck.

[C]

Yeah, you maybe. Have you guys got to the root of what 67 is? I'm sure this is covered on.

[B]

Yeah, it's a song. And then it was a. Then it was like a kid saying it at some sports game that. That got memified or whatever. Hey, guys, in the comments, come at me. I don't know. And if you know, way to go, But I think it's that. What's the rapper's name? Trill. Trilla Zilla, Skrilla. Something like that.

[A]

You are so old.

[B]

I should not know these things. And it's okay.

[A]

Happy anniversary.

[C]

CII nation still strong. Holding strong. Like they're at a sticks concert with their dad.

[B]

I love it.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

I think it's cool. I think it's fun that kids are just like 6, 7, 6, 7.

[A]

I like. I like that they're doing their own thing. You know, it gives. You know, we did, you know, some. All kinds of dumb.

[B]

Yeah, we.

[A]

We were always, like, saying, suck it. We were asking everyone to suck our dicks constantly and.

[C]

But yeah, but that's. I mean, that's timeless. That's not going out of style. Well, yeah, you shouldn't do it to random strangers. It seems problematic.

[A]

Which you would. Yeah, you would. I remember we would do it in the mall. We would just walk around the mall and just go up to random people and just say, suck it.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

You're like, yeah, man. It's just that. That's just like a mom with her two young children that we just said suck it as like a 13 year old.

[B]

And also, half of the people doing it don't realize how literal it is.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

The message is very clear on suck it.

[B]

Because you're like, oh, things suck. Like that sucks. And you're like, oh, suck it. And things like.

[A]

As a kid, you had no idea what we were saying, but we were literally telling moms with small children who had their hands full with bags walking in and out of Sears to suck it right over and over and over. And we would laugh and laugh and not quite realize how insane that is. And in hindsight, it makes us look even cooler.

[C]

Yeah, man, you guys were renegades.

[A]

It makes us look cooler.

[B]

The fun house mirror of time, I tell you.

[A]

God damn, that was cool.

[C]

I remember.

[A]

Give you any takebacks? Any apologies? Epic.

[B]

Wait, Adam, you want to kick it off? It's time.

[A]

It's time.

[C]

Is it? Is it time? This a five year, man. Can't we kind of extend it a little?

[A]

Well, I've got to. I've got to go. I've got a dinner I've got to.

[C]

Make people to see.

[B]

I'm going to get massage therapy.

[C]

I remember getting in trouble real quick.

[B]

Just nowhere to be bl.

[A]

Yeah, Blake is nowhere to be.

[C]

I have to carve pumpkins tonight. I do have a very important date. I cannot wait to carve into some of these pumpkins. Pumpkins. But I did tell some teacher at my school, in elementary school, I said, I told her to blow me.

[B]

You've told this story because I had.

[C]

Heard it in Ace Venture. Yeah, well, okay, okay.

[B]

I don't know if you told it.

[C]

Five year anniversary.

[B]

It was also.

[C]

That was one of my favorite moments was telling you guys that. Because I really needed to get that off my chest.

[A]

I like that. Did you get in trouble?

[C]

I did get in trouble.

[A]

All right. Any take backs? Any apologies? Any epic slam? Shut up.

[B]

Have two of those moments. And maybe since it's the. Maybe since it's the fifth year anniversary, maybe I've talked about these before, we can bring it back up. But I called the teacher despicable, like Daffy Duck style. And I got like sent to the hallway.

[C]

See ya.

[A]

Freaking.

[B]

And then I had another one for like we were. We were reading Romeo and Juliet and she was like, you know, what are they doing as they're like meeting each other? And she was looking for the word, word courting, I guess. And I was like, you know, it's like before they hook up, it's like the foreplay. And she was like, hallway called my home, left a voicemail that was like your son said the word foreplay. I bolted home and deleted that message so fast.

[A]

Nice. I loved that. That was such a solid, unreal, Very shagadelic.

[C]

I wonder.

[A]

I said in eighth grade science class, I was reading aloud and said said was supposed to say organism but said orgasm. And then I said that like three times. By the way. I didn't mean to do it. It just came out. Because I think this has happened time and time again. Yeah. And then I got. It was like Freudian slip. Oh. She made me go in the hall and she's like, you really expect me to believe you meant to say you didn't mean to say orgasm?

[B]

Adam Devine, class clown.

[A]

Yeah, class clown. And I'm like, I honestly did.

[C]

Comedian of the kid who's always like, oh, mommy.

[B]

Right? Yeah.

[C]

Okay, sure.

[B]

Huh.

[C]

Gummy worm guy.

[B]

And you gotta. And Adam, you gotta see where she's coming from.

[A]

Who's constantly screaming at me outside of a Sears two years prior to suck.

[C]

You literally just told my, my, my niece to suck.

[A]

Your boobs are huge.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And she was like, I'll give you an orgasm. And you go, hey, what, Are there.

[C]

Any apologies take backs from the last five years? Maybe something you guys want to apologize for at all?

[A]

I stand by everything. I just wish you Know, some people would come out to the Las Vegas, Nevada.

[B]

Come on out to Vegas.

[A]

I would love that show on November 20th. It's gonna be a blast. I expect to have a lot of fun. I might go a day early. I might take the wife a day early, get a nice room, and finally have sex with her again.

[B]

Nice.

[C]

I love that for you.

[B]

Guys, guys, speaking of wives, just got a text apropos of. She doesn't know what we're talking about.

[A]

Yeah, there's no. There's no bugs in there.

[B]

She's at a track meet or something right now. She goes, omg, cuz we're young. Just heard a kid say.

[C]

Haha.

[A]

Oh, there we go.

[C]

It's international bilingual. I like that. How do you say it in Germany?

[A]

Sermon sex sieben.

[C]

Kind of cool. That could catch on.

[B]

And if you have a way to say six, seven, in a language, slide into Blake Anderson's [e-mail].

[C]

Absolutely.

[A]

Did I. Did I tell you guys that my German teacher when I was in. In Lincoln for the football game, that some old guy comes up to me and it's a bunch of college kids at this bar, right? So there's just. I'm surrounded by college kids.

[B]

Kids.

[A]

And then the one old guy goes, huh, Adam, huh? And he's pointing to his face and he's going, huh?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And I'm like, hey, man. And he goes, remember me? And I'm like, boy, I do not. I do not. And I'm like, oh, yeah, no. Yeah, yeah, no, yeah, yeah. And he goes, huh? What is it? And I'm like, no. Could you.

[B]

[A]

[B]

Me to suck it. I did.

[C]

For like, janitor. Janitor. You told to suck it.

[A]

Janitor, Did I tell you to suck it? And he made me step it off for two minutes. And then he goes, hair Seeger. And I'm like, oh, yeah. Okay. Should have just led with, hey, it's Hair Seeger from high school.

[B]

[A]

They've scored 280 points.

[B]

[A]

To the point opponents 14. They've only had two touchdowns scored on them the whole season.

[B]

What's the story? Is it a. Is there a star player or something or, or what?

[C]

Yeah, this is. You guys won shout out to Jackson.

[B]

And so are these boys staying in state? Are you going. Are you knocking on lockers and saying, hey guys, let's keep it in state?

[A]
