Wits to the world series. I gotta go twice. Dude. I went the other night when it was 18 innings.

But. And that 18 inning game was very fun. Very epic.

[C]

Am I frozen or are you guys frozen? I haven't heard anything anyone saying to me for a minute.

[B]

Everyone seems cool to me.

[C]

I'm cool too.

[A]

Oh, there you go. It's saying, my Internet is unstable. So that is on me. I'm chunking. But yeah. So it was the 14th inning. They were playing. We were singing Cracker Jacks, Take me out to the ball game once again.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Is that a remix?

[B]

Well, I think it's 14th, so it's like 7th inning and then 14th inning.

[A]

7Th inning stretch again. And Chloe's like, we have to leave. Our son is going to wake up in, like, six hours. Wow.

[B]

Oh. So Chloe was there.

[A]

Chloe was with me.

[B]

Got it. That changes everything.

[A]

If I was with a friend, I would have stuck around, but it was. Chloe was there, and she's like, we have to go. I'm. I need some sleep.

[B]

And I'm like, does she like baseball?

[A]

She does not like baseball. So it was torture. The fact that it was going. I mean, it was very fun. Jack Black was in our box, so that was cool. Yeah.

[C]

I saw a pick of you two. I was super hyped. I'm like, whoa, this guy's spending 18 innings with this guy. They're probably getting to know each other.

[A]

Well, I won't. I won't rat Jack out, but someone left even before me.

[B]

Yeah. Really?

[A]

Yeah, it was very fun. I felt. I've never felt cooler because they put my name up on the World Series. They said Jack Black, and then it panned over to me, and then it said Adam Devine. And then it panned out, and it was the two of us, and we did a little dance off.

[C]

What the heck? That feels like it should have gone viral.

[A]

Yeah. No one seemed to care.

[C]

Like Adam Levine. Yeah, who's that?

[B]

Right? It did say Adam Devine with a question mark, which.

[A]

[A]

When they put her up on the jumbotron.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I was directly behind her. And then I creep out and was like, yeah. And the crowd, like, making funny faces.

[C]

And the crowd went nuts.

[B]

I do love the idea of, like, a cameraman being, like, trying to, like, crop you out, and you're like, no, I'm getting in there.

[A]

So it was very fun.

[C]

Way to get some screen time, man.

[A]

Dude, you have to. When you're there, you have.

[C]

I love that.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

But very, very fun. The. The Dodger games are always a blast, but the playoffs, I hate the playoffs, but I gotta go to a bunch of games because of that MLB commercial I did earlier this year. I did. It's MLB commercial. Which was the easiest.

[B]

What was the MLB commercial?

[A]

It was just me on a. I. I filmed everything on a green screen. But essentially it's like me walking up as Aaron Judge is like, blasting a home run and. And I'm eating popcorn and I'm like. I'm like, this one looks good. Judgy or whatever. And then he crushes a home run and I'm like, what? And then it's like, I'm in the outfield and a guy makes an insane catch, and I'm like, no. He and I go to grab the ball and he snags in front of.

[B]

This is the one we. Where you almost got hurt or did get hurt doing something.

[C]

Yeah. You were jumping a lot. Jumping a lot.

[A]

I did a few jumps and.

[B]

Right. That's what it was.

[A]

I did a few jumps.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Right.

[A]

And I was like, pretty proud of myself that I was able to do all this stuff because of my. My ailments and my body falling apart.

[B]

You say, look, Isaac.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And.

[A]

Yeah. And then people really came after me, dude.

[C]

People really?

[A]

Right? Yeah. People were like, no, they were like, how dare you not do the jumps? You said jumps on the right and you did minimal jumps.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Who's directing those? Who's directing that? Somebody. You know?

[A]

No, it was. You know, I don't want to offend the person that did the commercials, but they are not a famous director. No.

[C]

Okay. Yeah. Well, they did a great job. They should.

[A]

Did a good job after that. I. I'm assuming they are now. I'm assuming they're doing Barbie too, after that.

[C]

Okay, that's. That Seems like the pipeline for sure.

[A]

Yeah, it might have been. Actually. The more I'm thinking. Greta Gerwig. Is that a famous. Oh, then it might have been her. It's possible.

[B]

She's cool.

[C]

She did great. So those seats that you sat at.

[B]

Last night, it's impossible. It was her.

[C]

What are the. What are those real retailing as? Because these Dodger tickets are kind of expansive.

[A]

I don't know. But I was wish.

[B]

Good answer.

[A]

Our mutual friend Scotty Landis. Oh, we love Scotty said over 10 grand a ticket.

[C]

Yeah, dude, crazy.

[A]

He said 10 to 20 grand because we're in the like the dugout club, which is the fancy, like most expensive tickets. The fanciest thing. Yeah, that to me is shocking.

[C]

Yeah, it's crazy.

[A]

That's. That's an absolute wild amount. But it's the World Series and you know, I guess, you know, some people like that's. That's end goal to go to the World Series and watch your team so well.

[B]

Yeah, I think end goal for sure to go. I don't know how many people's end goal is to go to World Series and be down $10,000.

[C]

Yeah, well, that part sucks.

[B]

I wonder what the cheapest ticket goes for.

[A]

I was told like 1500.

[C]

No, I had friends who are way up there. They. They paid 600.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I mean it's still a huge wad.

[A]

Of cash and you're in like the last row.

[C]

But yeah, it's the environment.

[A]

Yeah, I mean it is. It was electric until the first two balls were pitched. Until the first, like, literally people are sitting down with their peanuts and cracker Jacks and crank crank.

[C]

10,000.

[B]

Oh, $10,000. The 18 inning game that, that had like, that was worth it. That felt like that I was watching the natural.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Where like a dude just keeps stepping up and doing things. I have. I kept yelling at my children, being like, this isn't normal.

[A]

This is history.

[B]

What you're witnessing is not normal. I mean, it was just crazy.

[A]

I do feel the second I turned 40 years old. Yeah, baseball made a lot more sense. I've always liked to play baseball when I was a kid. But watching it, I'm like, I don't know, it's a little snooze fest. Then I turned 40 and then all of a sudden I'm like, this is a nice game to just have on in the summertime. You just absolutely turn it on. Crack of the bat, the announcer, soothing sounds of those announcers.

[C]

Yeah. I used to love just listening to games on the rad thought that was just a really lovely time, but it was.

[A]

It was really fun. Ran. Ran into our boy Adam Ray, ran into Andrew Santino and our boy Sean Malto. Just running into people in the. In the stadium is really, really fun.

[C]

That sounds great, dude.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah.

[B]

We gonna. We gonna turn this around in Toronto. What are we thinking?

[A]

See, yeah, the. The two rough games in a row. Game six is tomorrow. We're shooting this or recording this obviously a week ahead of time.

[C]

Yeah, this could be a sad listen.

[A]

So I think the World Series will be over. You know, we'll see two. I think Yamamoto's pitching tomorrow. He is our. Is our ace. He's our stud in the hole. So hopefully we get the dub and then we'll see about game seven. That's. That's.

[B]

I love a good stud in the hole.

[A]

I love studs in the holes.

[B]

Didn't you guys kind of hate when they just started walking Shohei the other night where they're like, we're just walking you because you're like. I'm like, why don't you just walk them for the rest of the series?

[C]

Yeah. I mean.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

How many are you allowed?

[A]

That's a little.

[C]

You're allowed infinity.

[B]

That's crazy.

[A]

That's very. Man.

[C]

People were saying they want to like, put a rule in where you can't. It is a little bitch made, but it's a. It's kind of. It's kind of on the next. Next man up, like kind of on Mookie to make it happen.

[A]

What?

[B]

No, no, no, no, no, no. This is. This is. People look, play the game well.

[C]

That's part of the game, dude. It's like chess. It's the strategy of. Of it all. But the dude behind him got to step up. Knock, knock a run in.

[B]

But that. It's a bad but. But. But then you just make all. You just. I would just never pitch the best hitters that ever. I would just never pitch the best hitters on the team ever.

[C]

You could do that.

[B]

Why would I ever do that?

[A]

You could do that. But then. But then when the next guy hits a home run, then all of a sudden you got.

[B]

He's not going to. Why not? Because he's already the worst and he's going to feel the pressure and then he's not going to step up.

[C]

Well, yeah, I mean, you'd be a good skipper, man. I like this.

[B]

I guess the hat.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Who's coming on the boat?

[C]

I'm definitely be coming on the boat.

[B]

I guess I'm Just like, it seems like a weird rule. Like, you could just be like, in basketball, actually, you can't pass to the point guard. It's like, what?

[C]

Yeah, it is kind of interesting now that you break it down like that. I don't think there's another sport. Well, yeah, you can intentionally foul Shaq hack a shack. That's like your kind of breaking the game. You know what I mean?

[B]

Yeah, I know. And so it's like. But you get. You can foul out, right? If you're fouling him, you can foul out.

[C]

So you could. You want a rule where you can only be a. Like, like two times and then they take you out. They're like, yo, stop.

[A]

Hey, you are too big of a.

[B]

I. I think you can't. I think you can do it to every player once.

[C]

Okay. I like that rule. That's cute.

[B]

I don't know, it just. It just seems like you would have lost. Shohei was on fire. Too fucking bad you don't have him. The other team does. And also, people are paying to see this shit. Don't forget, this isn't baseball. This is entertainment. Like, this is entertainment. I feel the same way about when they bench players in basketball because they're like, he's resting. It's like someone just paid upwards of however many hundreds of thousands of dollars to come see this person.

[C]

I'm getting pissed now. Come on.

[B]

What are we doing?

[C]

You're right. That's fucked up. People are dropping $10,000 and you're locking showy every time.

[A]

What the dude, and I like, you call him showy. You wanted to see the showy.

[B]

I understand if you want to. You want to elongate somebody's career for basketball, right? Like, it's. We're resting them so they can play longer and get another deal or whatever. I hate to break it to you, but every year for 10 years, I pay X amount of dollars to go see somebody play. And they're benched because they're resting. Every year for 10 years. What are we doing?

[A]

That's why I got rid of my Clipper, my courtside Clipper tickets. Because.

[B]

Did you hear that? Clippers.

[C]

Did you hear that?

[A]

Because Kawhi was resting too much.

[C]

Why are you resting so much?

[A]

And I never got to see him play. And it absolutely sucks.

[B]

And the security is chasing you.

[A]

I'm with you. It's very. It's very. It's very, very made.

[C]

Well. But Adam, you. This is another. This is a sports heavy pod. But we. You, like, led the. What are they calling it the brick in the wall or what? You were all over my Instagram.

[B]

I don't know where he's going with this either.

[A]

Oh, have you not. Have you not been on the gram lately?

[C]

You didn't see. Do you not. I follow a lot of sports Instagrams and Adam was highlighted.

[A]

Bleacher. Bleacher report. Espn. Heard of it?

[B]

Anyone explain what we're talking about?

[A]

Adam, I'm. Hi, Anders. I'm Adam.

[C]

I. Yeah. This is your budd.

[A]

Friend of yours? Sure. Yeah. We create. Works together.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

We're currently doing a podcast together. And then I'm also a big Clippers fan.

[B]

Sure.

[C]

Okay. Huh.

[A]

And do you have Instagram?

[B]

Yes.

[C]

Okay. Seven, so.

[A]

And you follow me on Instagram.

[B]

Got it. You're talking about how you were cheer. Like, leading the cheer section.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. Well, they have the. It's called the wall.

[B]

And just say leading the cheer section. No one knows what it's called.

[A]

Not a cheer section. Yeah.

[B]

You're like the guy who's like, girls, let's do this.

[A]

It's not.

[B]

It's fine. Yeah. You had on gloves. I believe.

[C]

You did have.

[B]

Let's keep it all the way.

[A]

By the way, they didn't give me those gloves. I requested them. I don't.

[C]

Oh, I thought you brought them from home. My man's rock and roll.

[A]

No, no, no.

[C]

Everyone.

[A]

Everyone had the gloves. There was 500 people behind me, all with white gloves.

[B]

Got it.

[A]

And then they gave me this.

[B]

This Imagine. I don't really know the things that are called that. You do.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

But the gloves. Kind of unforgettable. Leave with the gloves.

[C]

Absolutely. So.

[A]

So it was a wall. It's called the. The free throw percentage is when you play at the Clippers, the opposing team. The free throw percentage is at the lowest in the NBA because of this wall.

[B]

Right.

[A]

Because it's a vertical wall.

[C]

Right.

[A]

There's 500 fans that are absolute psychopaths. We get the craziest people that wear all Clipper gear and lose their fucking minds.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

The entire. The entire game.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

You guys are just bringing in psychopaths to stand in that section.

[A]

Yeah, it's psychopaths for the good of the Clippers. And I am fully about it. It's science. And it was so fun. And they asked me if I wanted to do this thing called Divine Intervention.

[C]

Hello.

[A]

For opening. For the opening home game. And that my head was floating on that giant, huge, jumbo Jumbotron. It's a big head that they have there at the game.

[B]

And this is Like a blimp. The blimp thing?

[A]

No, they have a giant screen that goes all the way around, right. And my head was like floating on, which is pretty cool looking. And then it's cool. It's kind of cool. It's.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So they give me the. They give me the microphone and I'm allowed to yell and. And do crazy until the player gets the ball. And then they cut the microphone.

[B]

Right.

[A]

So people thought I was screaming as he's shooting, but that wasn't the case. I'm screaming until the referee lets go of the ball and then the player gets it and then they. They cut them.

[B]

Because you're on a mic, but you can scream. You can scream. You just can't scream into the mic.

[C]

And you could have said anything, right?

[A]

I could have said anything.

[C]

You had a lot of power right there.

[A]

I sure did.

[B]

Shoulda woulda coulda yielded a lot of power.

[A]

But it was mostly like, bring the energy, you know that. And then he missed the. The free throw. It was.

[C]

That's pretty cool. So now do you have to. Do you have to do it all the time now?

[A]

No, I just did it. The ones. And they gave me courtside seats. Yeah, yeah, it was sick. It was the best. And yeah, they. They missed it. I got a lot of hate for it.

[C]

A lot of comments were brutal.

[B]

Who missed? The other team?

[A]

The other team? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[C]

He missed his free throw. It was huge.

[A]

But yeah, they're like, how dare he do this? What is the NBA coming to? But then you look at what they do in Europe and it's absolute mayhem.

[B]

Right? They've got like smoke bombs and. Yeah, yeah.

[A]

And you're like, that. Isn't that what sports are about? It's like the fan experience of just being absolute psychopaths in the. In the stands to try to get the other team to miss. That's to me, right? That's what's cool about it.

[C]

So game on.

[B]

Adam, remember when you stabbed Monica Sellers? Yeah, yeah.

[A]

I don't know what those words match.

[B]

She got stabbed. She's a tennis player. A fan stabbed her.

[C]

I didn't know that.

[A]

When did this happen?

[B]

The 80s.

[A]

Oh, topical. We're in the Voices for Good charity challenge with Daffy raising money for kids and turtles. Two totally different vibes, but that's kind of the point.

[C]

Love them both. I've said it before and I will say it again. Turtles are important. I've loved them since my brother had some growing up. And now I support the Turtle Conservancy because Healthy tortoise habitats mean a healthier planet.

[A]

And for me, when I was 11 and got hit by a cement truck and spent months in a children's hospital learning how to walk again, the doctors and nurses changed my life. And that's why I give back to Children's Miracle Network hospitals.

A quick question.

[B]

Yeah?

[A]

In your family at Thanksgiving, do you go around and say what you're thankful for? Yeah, well, a lot of families do that. And it's such a great tradition, Ders. I mean, sometimes we just need to remind ourselves what's important. Family and friends, you know, real human connection.

[B]

And there's no better time to find that connection than Thanksgiving. Old friends are coming into town.

[A]

I'll be there.

[B]

Reach out to them. It couldn't be easier. A quick Facebook post asking who's around. Somebody's got to get the ball rolling right? Tag your friends. Maybe your high school class has a Facebook alumni group. You could even start an event.

[A]

That's actually a really good idea. Even just going on to Facebook and commenting on friends posts can lead to a connection. Congratulations on a new baby, a happy birthday, or just a hey, looking good. Point is, a little connection goes a long way, but you've got to make the connection first. And Thanksgiving really is the perfect opportunity. And Facebook is the perfect platform.

[B]

When people storm the court or the field.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

What, what are the feelings here?

[A]

Like during a game?

[B]

No, no, like at the, at the end of a game, usually it's like college, right?

[A]

Yeah, I, I say in college, it's fine.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Because they're, they're college kids and. Yeah, it's exciting and, you know, and then the, the players are also college kids, so they're like, look, my homies are running.

[B]

Right?

[A]

We're all celebrating. This is a blast. But in the NFL, those guys can then beat up whoever comes on the field, right? That's, I think in the, in, in college, it's fine. It's all fun and games. Once it's. They're pro and they're like, hey, if you tackle me right, and I twist an ankle and I miss three weeks, I'm missing 5 million.

[B]

That's the case in college now. That's the case in college now. They're getting Millie.

[A]

Yeah, they still would get those same Millie.

[C]

Mm.

[A]

It's, it's not pay for, pay for play. It's not like you have to play a certain amount of games. If a guy gives you $3 million to come on for the team, if you get hurt, you still get the $3 million.

[B]

I don't know the intricacies of people's deals. And if it's like, hey, we're going to give you one to come here and we're going to give you one at the end of the season. I don't know the deals, but I'm just saying, I'm just saying money is also a factor now in college.

[A]

Sure. That is true.

[B]

You might have, you might see some football players beating up some college kids.

[C]

Right.

[A]

But I, I do know the deals and, and that's not the case.

[B]

Oh, I forgot.

[A]

It's what I said. Yeah.

[B]

Nice.

[C]

Are you guys pro storming then? Is that what you're saying? Are you pro storming?

[A]

I don't know. In college. I think it's fun. It seems. It seems fun in the pros. I'm like, yo, chill.

[C]

What about. What about storming the capital?

[B]

Are you Stormy Daniels?

[C]

Are you pro that.

[B]

What about Stormy Daniels storming the Capital?

[A]

Just.

[B]

He's all about storms, apparently.

[A]

Did the capital just win? So something.

[C]

Yeah, like an election.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh, yeah. If you're pro. If you're pro that election. Okay.

[C]

It okay.

[A]

If you're in a celebratory manner. Storm on.

[B]

Dude, let me get this on the record. Let me get this on the record real quick. Yeah, Blake. Blake Anderson. You like elections?

[C]

I'm into him. I say, like, a guy wins storm. We got storm. If a guy loses, he storm. Okay, let's storm everything. Oh, let's storm more.

[B]

And you think votes are really counted.

[C]

Okay, to a point. To an extent. They round up for sure.

[A]

Storm.

[B]

And do you think votes should be able to storm the field?

[C]

Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.

[B]

Okay, you heard it here. I'm just trying to make some clickbait.

[A]

Guys rage, you know?

[C]

I mean, you're doing really great. Well, you guys are talking sports and all that, but my super bowl was kind of a couple days as well. A couple of days ago as well. Did you guys at all tune into.

[A]

We weren't talking about the super bowl at all.

[C]

Well, we're talking sports.

[B]

Just say World Series.

[C]

Did you. My World Series was a few days ago. Did you guys tune into the. The Versus battle of the Cash Money Millionaires and the no Limit Soldiers in Las Vegas for complex.

[B]

No, I did not.

[A]

No, no, no.

[B]

It sounds. Sounds awesome. I feel like no Limit soldiers must have gotten mopped. Am I crazy?

[C]

And you. You think they would. But this is it.

[A]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It was no Limit Soldiers versus Who?

[C]

Cash Money.

[B]

Cash money millionaires.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And who's the Cash money millionaires?

[C]

Juvenile B.G. lil Wayne.

[A]

Birdman.

[C]

Fresh.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And then. And then no Limit is masterpiece.

[C]

The shocker. Mystical little Romeo's in prison, so.

[A]

Yeah, but you could.

[C]

They were out a guy. They were out a guy.

[A]

They all phones. You can't. You can't FaceTime in.

[B]

They were resting. Mystical. Mystical. Resting.

[C]

Hold up. Time out. Time out. We're having a little trouble patching him in.

[A]

It's just. It's a little. He's chunking.

[C]

He's chunky.

[A]

Exactly.

[C]

He's in the middle of a.

[B]

Like, the idea of someone who's never heard mystical. They're like, I think he's chunky. They're like, no Actually, this is how he raps.

[A]

No, that's actually just how he raps.

[C]

With a foot in my ass. Gotcha.

[B]

And I like the idea of them saying, I think he's chunking. And they're like, what? Like from this is.

[A]

From this is important podcast. The guys that are about to close a major deal that we can't talk about yet quite talk about.

[C]

Maybe I will say, like, I don't know. Did you guys tune in at any of the verses during. Like, it's the greatest thing that came out of COVID Like, I remember that. That was off the hook somehow.

[B]

It's off my radar now almost completely.

[C]

Yeah. I kind of have lost sight of it too.

[A]

So you don't like. You don't like sports then?

[C]

No, I love sports. I love sports.

[A]

But. But you said this was your World Series. This was so the World Series.

[B]

You know, Halloween's coming up. This was his giant pumps.

[C]

And dude, these are two of the most influential, important, like, hip hop groups for me coming up. Like, there's so much music in between them. That is just so rad. So I was just hyped.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

The masterpiece. Make him say music video is unbelievable.

[C]

It's the Tank Dogs, man. It's so sick.

[A]

I will say I'm a. A masterpiece. I. I like that crew a little. A little.

[C]

You're no limit. You're a no limit soldier.

[A]

I'm a no limit soldier, personally. But if you told me that they all were no limit soldiers, I would. I would believe you. If you just. If you told me that Lil Wayne was a no limit soldier, I would go, oh, yeah. Okay. That makes sense.

[B]

He doesn't have much. Many limits.

[A]

Yeah. I don't give a no limit soldier.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

They seem like the same crew. They don't seem.

[B]

Did Snoop come out?

[C]

He did. He did. At the end. He did. He did.

[B]

You know what? Maybe I did see something about this.

[A]

Yes.

[C]

But that's why Adam. And this is why it should be very important to you. Both rap crews are very much New Orleans representatives.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

That's why they. They feel like they're the same.

[C]

Yeah. So it was a very. And that's what people were kind of clowning about it. Like it was at Vegas and it wasn't so turned up, but I think it was. I think if they did it in New Orleans, it would have gone a little too complex.

[A]

It's cool that it was at Vegas, not in Vegas. That's a cool thing.

[C]

Yeah, yeah. It was around.

[A]

It was at. It was kind of at There. Yeah, why not? Why not do it in New Orleans?

[C]

I just think it could have gotten, like, a little too spicy.

[B]

You just said they packaged it as part of complex con. Right?

[C]

It was.

[A]

You know how my dad says New Orleans, and it drives me crazy every time my dad says New Orleans. New Orleans drives me.

[B]

Yeah, I think that's common for people his age.

[C]

That shit's important.

[A]

It drives me nuts, even. No matter how many times I tell him, I go, actually, they just pronounce it New Orleans. And he's like, nah. No, they don't. Chloe's from New Orleans. And she goes, no, they do. It's. It's New Orleans.

[C]

My wife.

[A]

Oh, it's New Orleans. And he's like, I don't think so. I've been.

[B]

Does he say Oregon?

[A]

You know, probably that. That would check out. Yeah, it.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I think that it's like how we. Some people say Iraq now.

[C]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

People that age, they say Iraq.

[C]

They're living under Iraq.

[B]

There it is.

[A]

People say Iraq, if that's how it's Iraq.

[B]

And they say Iran.

[A]

Yeah. Because that's how it's pronounced.

[B]

But, like, in the 90s, it was definitely Iraq and Iraq.

[C]

Oh, for sure.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Oh, for sure. We were hard. Hard.

[A]

A, by the way, for me, still is.

[C]

Now you're just acting like your dad, dude.

[A]

Yeah, well, I didn't know. I didn't know. Now. Now guess what?

[C]

You're gonna change.

[A]

No, probably not.

[B]

No. Never. This.

[C]

My God.

[A]

I am my father. I'm my father's son, you know?

[C]

Well, maybe you should flip back.

[B]

My father's keeper. What does that mean? I'm my father's keeper? I guess it's brother's keeper.

[C]

Brothers.

[B]

You're not your father. Guys, again, just trying to get clicks. You're trying to get clicks. These guys don't know what father's people click here to see if they actually do rage bait.

[A]

I will say rage bait.

[C]

You're living rage bait, dude.

[A]

It's. It does bug me. Like, I. I'm starting to see some. That I'm like, this actually pissing you off Pisses me off. And I know it's just to get people pissed off, right? Like, I saw one about the guy was singing, and it. It did not seem like AI. It was a guy singing a song about how much he doesn't like his kid and how cool he was compared to his son at his age. And his son was sitting next to him, right? Like, rolling his eyes, being like, dad. And I'm like, right. He for sure. Coached his son. Like, I'm gonna do this insane song. It's not about you. But sit here, roll your eyes, look a little mad, and I'm going to get all these clicks and like, what's the point, Adam?

[B]

Don't knock it till you try it. We're how far away from you just busting out this song to your kid?

[C]

Yeah, you got to mouth it.

[B]

All right. Hey, let's just dog ear this one, everyone.

[C]

So, wait, you. You. That doesn't seem like rage bait. You were just mad because it. It was obviously fake. You thought they should have acted it better.

[A]

Well, no, I think it was rage bait. It's to get people upset that this guy was being a blatant bad father. Like shitting on his son in of him.

[B]

Right.

[A]

Like you could on your kids, but you do it to other adults when your kids aren't around.

[C]

Sure. Right, right.

[A]

And you could put it to song. You could put it to song.

[B]

Just don't let the kids listen to.

[A]

That song, you know?

[B]

Hey, and you can post it. Yeah, you can post it.

[A]

Yeah, you can post it.

[C]

Just close.

[A]

Just don't have your kid sitting on the couch next to you in the. In the music video.

[C]

That's kind of cool, though, to like, release a whole album about how much you hate your son. That's like a new dynamic.

[B]

The kid makes the beats.

[C]

I mean, Eminem kind of did it about his. I guess that was his ex wife.

[A]

It was his ex wife. She wanted to kill the. And show her where the ocean is. Yeah, right, right.

[B]

Haley was the one who said, my dad's gone crazy.

[C]

Ah, yes, of course. Where's my snare? Where's my snare?

[B]

[B]

I see dead people.

[C]

Haley Mathers. Haley Mathers. Dang.

[A]

I never realized the little Forrest Gump. So I'm talking because she's going around Isaac, because Isaac isn't getting back to her quick enough. The woman, she's 29. So you were close. She's almost 30.

[C]

A little weird.

Yeah. She's like, I'm having a hard time getting a hold of Isaac, so can you answer some questions? So I'm like. I'm talking with her. Punk rock, getting radical. The key that everyone's gonna use. They were like, hey, we're thinking about a few funny things from the podcast. Maybe Kermit the Frog, like, puking in a toilet or something.

[C]

Oh, that's cool.

[A]

Other ones.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And then she pitched. Or we can put Isaac shirtless with a Pierce nipple. And I'm like, done.

[C]

That's done.

[A]

Like, you guys tell me every. On every key for. For the cruise.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And I feel like, that's easy. Yes.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And that's good. Easy. Yes.

[B]

We gotta do that. So that in, like, a thousand years, when aliens land and we've all bombed each other, they just find one of those keys and they're like, I guess this was society back at this specimen.

[A]

This. And it says on the key that this is important. So.

[C]

Yeah. Holy. We found something here.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Good old Isaac. Well, I'm excited for that. That's a real keep. Keepsake. Is that what they are? Keepsake?

[A]

It's a keepsake. Yeah.

[B]

Cool.

[C]

I got the word, right? Yeah.

[A]

And you're going to collect it. Like, you collect all.

[C]

All things.

[A]

Little things. Yeah.

[C]

I mean, I'm still just sitting on this thing. Twin Peaks. Thank you.

[B]

Oh, collecting things is kind of your Olympics, right? Yeah.

[C]

Well, I would say.

[A]

Is it your Super Bowl?

[B]

It's kind of your Winter Olympics.

[A]

That's cool that you catch that. I was like, I was gonna keep that. The Twin Peaks.

[C]

Twin Peaks.

[A]

Show it. So they. They sent this to us. I think we showed this on air.

[C]

Yeah, we did.

[A]

It's beautiful. But I don't have a mouse, so I don't need a mouse pad.

[C]

I don't either.

[B]

You don't need one.

[C]

You'd be surprised. You'd be surprised. It comes in handy.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

If you know what I'm saying.

[B]

Blake keeps his on the center console of his car.

[C]

Yeah, dude.

[A]

Just for a little extra, I'm like, doesn't it just take up space?

[B]

Like.

[A]

What are you doing?

[B]

I got. I threw mine away so fast.

[C]

I'm literally always resting my wrist on it right here. Like, as you're talking to me, my wrist is resting on.

[A]

Because your wrist is always very sore. From what? From what? I don't know. I'm asking.

[B]

I don't know.

[C]

It's just, like, fatigued from.

[B]

Is. It isn't beaten off Kind of your March Madness.

[C]

I had carpal tunnel.

[A]

As a.

[C]

As a. As a high schooler, I don't doubt it.

[A]

So I believe that.

[C]

Well, it wasn't. It wasn't from anything malicious.

[A]

Malicious.

[B]

No one's saying it is something delicious.

[A]

Malicious.

[B]

It was from something delicious.

[A]

Why'd you make him come?

[C]

I. I got it from bowling. It was from bowling. Oh, sure, it was from bowling. Too much. And sweeping.

[A]

The large company that we are about to maybe close this deal with is gonna listen to the podcast this episode and say, nah. Huh?

[C]

Yeah, we're good. A lot of sport. A lot of sports up top where nobody knew what the fuck they were talking about. And then it devolves into malicious stuff about coming and.

[A]

Delicious, delicious, delicious, delicious.

[C]

Baby. That's great, man.

[B]

Who's ready for Halloween? Are you guys dressing up? Oh, is this our, like, pre Halloween episode?

[A]

Well, I'm, you know, besides great dad.

[B]

Dress up as a good father.

[A]

Yeah, it looks nothing like how you dress.

[B]

Yeah. What?

[A]

I'm actually a good father. Oh, okay. Well, why didn't you dress normally? Because I'm dressed as a good father.

[C]

It wouldn't be a costume.

[A]

Yeah, because I'm dressed as a good father.

[C]

Yeah. That's a great costume. Really good.

[A]

I'm gonna dress as part of Lightning McQueen's pit crew.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

Because. Because Bo is Lightning McQueen.

[B]

The best.

[C]

Hell, yeah, he is.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah, that's dope. Yeah, I'm. I'm gonna be. I'm gonna be a rodeo clown.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Pretty excited about that.

[A]

I see that. I see that for you. And it's because your. What, child is going as a.

[C]

See, that's the thing. Why do we have to, like, bring.

[B]

Our kids trick or treating? I know. Why do we. Why do they even have to be there?

[C]

Like, why we have to bring up the kids, man? Like, well, I just want to go trick or treating by myself. I want to dress up as.

[A]

It's because you're 42 years old.

[C]

Oh, damn near 42, bro. Don't attack years on my life in.

[A]

The handful of months you're 42, I.

[C]

Might not make it, brother. I might not make.

[B]

That's fair.

[A]

Like, three months away. Four months away from 42. I'll be 42 in a week.

[B]

Really?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

42.

[A]

That's right.

[C]

God damn.

[B]

How are you already 42? I'm still 44, aren't I?

[A]

You. I don't know, stopped aging.

[C]

Yeah, I Don't know that mustache.

[B]

We were the same age. No, sorry, I thought we were. Were what? I thought I was. Sorry. No.

[C]

This thing's going off the rails.

[B]

I thought I was three years older than you.

[A]

I think you must be two and a half years older than me.

[C]

Huh? That's crazy.

[B]

There's no way to know.

[A]

There's zero way to figure that out. Yeah.

[C]

We need Isaac to Google our ages.

[A]

Yeah. So in one week, I. I will turn 42. And I. I feel when you're almost turning 42 and you are currently still 41, much like you, Blake.

[B]

Like. Yeah.

[A]

You sort of get dressed as if your kid's gonna go to something. You sort of go like, well, I'll just be a conduit to his joy. And this is all about him. Sure. And I know you make Halloween all about you, and it's your rodeo clown, it's the Blake show, but guess what? I'm dressed. I'm dressing as a good father, and that good father is Lightning McQueen's pit crew.

[C]

All right?

[B]

Blake is a. Blake likes to make a costume. He does.

[C]

Halloween is my super bowl, all right? And I'm gonna enjoy it how I like it.

[B]

You know what's in that bowl?

[C]

No fucking three year old is gonna tell me what to be, all right? Yeah, I can pick my own damn costume, thank you very much.

[A]

So your daughter is not dressed in any way. Part of a clown or a rodeo or.

[B]

She can dress. She's not getting out of the house. He said booby traps. She is also a clown. Yeah.

[C]

Okay. We're all clowns.

[A]

We're all.

[C]

Okay, so I was taking you for a walk. I was taking you for a walk.

[A]

I. Yeah.

[C]

But I am kind of mad that I am giving in to this whole thing, because it didn't. My mom never dressed as what I was dressing as. Yeah.

[B]

Did your mom dress?

[A]

Absolutely.

[C]

Absolutely. She put on a witch hat. She put on a little witch hat.

[B]

Okay. That's what I do. I just put on a witch hat.

[A]

That.

[B]

I've literally done that with you, Blake.

[A]

And I. And I don't mean to dog on our parents, but I truly feel, doggone, our generation are better parents than their generation by, I think, a long shot.

[B]

Here's what I'll say.

[C]

That shit's important.

[B]

Here's what I'll say.

[C]

It's a hot take.

[B]

I'll say this. We definitely parent more.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

I'm wondering if we parent too much.

[C]

Much. Wow.

[B]

Because, dude, I got older kids and the way these people are fucking Apple tagging, air tagging their kids. Yeah, it's wild. They're like, hey, they're going to be back from the field trip in about 15 minutes because, like, they're tagging them on, like, the bus route. Route back.

[C]

Right.

[B]

Even though, like, the school says, hey, we'll text you when the buses are going to be, like, five minutes away. They're like, the text chains are wild.

[A]

I don't trust. I don't trust it.

[C]

We're scary. We're scared. We're all very scared. Our parents didn't give a what.

[B]

I'm not that scared.

[A]

I'm not.

[B]

I'm like, what are we scared of?

[A]

I'm not. Blake's a. I'm not scared.

[C]

I mean, I'm pretty scared, but I have daughters.

[B]

It's wild.

[C]

It's a little different.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

The game's a little different.

[A]

Yeah. I would say that's. Having daughter is a little scarier.

[B]

My kid is the only kid who just bikes to school on his own.

[A]

I love that. Dude. That's amazing that my. My kid's gonna do that.

[B]

Everyone's shocked. I'm like, I wonder if people are like, you know, he bikes by himself. Well, he's. His parents, and they're like, what? It's weird.

[A]

Have you seen his mustache? Yeah, I won't let my kids near his. His dad.

[C]

Did you see what he dressed up as for Halloween? His joke was that he's a good father. That was his joke.

[B]

And, you know, they haven't even closed the deal yet for the new thing.

[A]

They wanted to talk about. The. Their manager said they can mention it, but the deal is not closed. I don't trust a guy.

[B]

Like, they haven't sold out the cruise yet.

[C]

Have you listened?

[B]

Where's the hat? Everywhere. Did you guys. I went to a Halloween party last weekend and wore the. The most. I've been working all day. You guys already left for the party without me, and I need to show up wearing something. I put on, like, wide leg jeans and, like, a big hoodie and a Darth Vader mask.

[A]

Oh.

[C]

Oh. What? So what were you.

[B]

And I skateboarded over to this house and rolled up carrying a skateboard, and people, like, were like, what is going on?

[A]

Wait. First of all, I didn't know you could skateboard any amount of distance.

[C]

Yeah, what the hell?

[B]

I can't.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I mean, I skateboarded five blocks.

[A]

That's actually an insanely far distance for what I could imagine. You.

[C]

Yeah. Is this a long board? You're dead.

[B]

This was a long board that we got from.

[A]

All right. Okay.

[B]

From, like, Mountain Dew sent us these a long time ago.

[A]

Oh, thank God.

[C]

Oh, my God. You still have that Baja blast longboard. Yeah.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

Dude.

[A]

Wow.

[C]

That is the one thing I gave away.

[B]

I just put it in our, like, sports cubby. It's never been used until the other day. So can I have. If anyone out there listening wants to guess ahead what I was. I was dressed as a skater and had the darth Vader mask on, so.

[C]

I was darth skater.

[B]

There you go. Yes. Points.

[C]

That's very cool.

[B]

And you know what? I'm not a big fan of those, but I literally was like, I went into my kids, like, costume drawer. The darth Vader mask is right there, and I was like, great.

[A]

Well, I would say that's a pretty elite level costume to pull together that quickly.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

That's beautiful, because I would have gone as a professional baseball player and just worn this hat.

[B]

Right. Or just a good dad. I'm a good dad.

[A]

Good dad. I showed up.

[B]

Are there still hot dogs? What are we doing?

[C]

The Voices for Good charity challenge with Daffy, raising money for kids and turtles. Two totally different vibes, but that's kind of the point.

[C]

Love them both. I've said it before, and I will say it again. Turtles are important. I've loved them since my brother had some growing up. And now I support the turtle conservancy because healthy tortoise habitats mean a healthier planet.

[A]

And for me, when I was 11 and got hit by a cement truck and spent months in a children's hospital learning how to walk again, the doctors and nurses changed my life. And that's why I give back to Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.

[B]

Here's the deal. This is a competition. Other podcasts are in it, but we want to be the ultimate voices for good.

[A]

So head to daffy.org voicesforgood find this as important, donate and help us take the crown. That's daffy.org voicesforgood hey, quick question. Yeah.

[A]

In your family, at Thanksgiving, do you go around and say what you're thankful for? Yeah, well, a lot of families do that, and it's such a great tradition, Ders. I mean, sometimes we just need to remind ourselves what's important. Family and friends, you know, real human connection.

[B]

And there's no better time to find that connection than Thanksgiving.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

Old friends are coming into town.

[A]

I'll be there.

[B]

Reach out to them. It couldn't be easier. A quick Facebook post asking who's around. Somebody's got to get the ball rolling, right? Tag your friends. Maybe your high school class has a Facebook alumni group. You could even start an event.

[A]

That's actually a really good idea. Even just going on to Facebook and commenting on friends posts can lead to a connection. Congratulations on a new baby, a happy birthday, or just a hey, looking good. Point is, a little connection goes a long way, but you've got to make the connection first. And Thanksgiving really is the perfect opportunity. And Facebook is the perfect platform.

[B]

[A]

Why?

[C]

I think that's a derogatory term.

[A]

Why?

[B]

And look, I'm just speaking historically.

[C]

I believe. I think the word comes from like connotation.

[A]

Yeah, it's.

[C]

It's not. It's just not good.

[A]

Tipsy like.

[B]

But you don't know why I like how it's not good. He just says it for no reason.

[A]

You're so uncomfortable.

[C]

I just.

[A]

By the way, have you ever met. I don't think they exist.

[C]

They were a thing. It was. They were like. They were like people. Thieves.

[B]

They were. Hey, listen, let's ask. They were brown. Gemini says they were not brown. I don't know how brown they need to be.

[A]

The only time I've ever seen gypsy is. Is. Is you guys stop playing gypsy dude in Peaky Blinders. And.

[C]

And what?

[B]

And it was definitely not good.

[A]

And half of their. Half of his family, they come from a long line of gypsies.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And they travel around.

[B]

Exactly. It's a nomadic thing.

[A]

And they're. They're tricksters. They're tricksters.

[B]

Grifters.

[A]

They might trick you out of some. Some of your hard earned cash and read your palms and that kind of.

[B]

Yeah, they're savvy.

[C]

They're con artists.

[A]

I think they're kind of cool.

[B]

Gemini. AI says you can say gypsy, but it depends on the context, as the word can be considered both a legitimate and an offensive term. It is best used as a specific term.

[A]

Who cares?

[B]

Romani, Roma, traveler, Roman, Romany. Somebody who roams.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Are they Roman people?

[A]

Are they.

[B]

Were they Roman with an apostrophe at the end?

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Will you shut up?

[B]

What?

[C]

Dude.

[A]

So dumb.

[C]

Where were gypsies from? Where did. Where are they from?

[B]

The point is, they're not from anywhere. They are nomadic.

[A]

They roam around. That's what.

[C]

Everybody's from somewhere. Everybody's from somewhere.

[B]

You're so.

[C]

Your.

[B]

Your mind is so narrow. Do you really believe that in.

[A]

In Peaky Blinders they were from England and they would just travel around all over.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

And you could never quite find them, you know, because they're always in their wagons.

[C]

Who are some famous examples of gypsies. Aladdin. He was a gypsy, right? What? Wasn't Aladdin a gypsy?

[B]

No.

[A]

I think he was a homeless hobo. You know, I was a. I went as Halloween as a hobo.

[B]

Classic.

[A]

Yeah, it's classic. Little hobo.

[B]

Every. I think I did too. You just put like dirt on your face and. Yeah. Oldest clothes.

The deal.

[B]

Yeah. Huh.

[C]

And it fell through.

[A]

We can mention it. But the deal is not closed.

It's cool if we do mention it. Oh, you'd rather we did it?

[C]

Oh, got it.

I gotta go buy a beard because his is real.

[C]

And that's.

[A]

That's true. And you would have to buy a beard.

[C]

What if you just dress in female clothing? Why don't you go just in like.

[A]

A dress as the world's tallest woman?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Without classic. And just bleed real blood.

[C]

Halloween's a great day to wear a dress, I think.

[B]

Yeah, I agree.

[C]

I mean, every day's a pretty good one.

[B]

Yeah, go for it. Knock yourself out. I'm not gonna do that. I'm gonna dress as a good dad.

[C]

I'm going as a good mom.

[B]

Yeah, you go as a good mom. Best mom. And. And what is a mom?

[C]

And, you know, my kid wanted me to be a clown, but Daddy's going as a good mom.

[B]

And how would you describe what a mom is?

[A]

Yeah. I'm happy you have daughters.

[B]

That's your daughter in the world.

[A]

Any take backs? Any apologies?

[C]

Is it already that time?

[A]

It sure is sad.

[C]

This was fun. I hope we continue this Convo on the next one.

[B]

Wait, what are you dressing as, Blake? Yeah.

[C]

I'm a rodeo clown.

[B]

That's right. That's right.

[C]

That's right. I'm look, I'm looking very forward to it.

[A]

I love clowns personally.

[C]

Makes sense.

[B]

We have paw patrol happening in our family.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

And some gladiators and I'm like, glad you hate her.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Points. That was an old workaholics writers room.

[A]

Yeah, we are pumped up.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

We're going to go trick or treating super, super early. The. The start time for trick or treating over here. 4:30.

[C]

Holy moly.

[A]

If that's not the earliest trick or treat time, I'm like.

[B]

But that's for the littlest ones. Before it gets like dark and super scary. When teenagers are just running around with like head wounds.

[C]

Oh, it's the best. That was so fun, dude.

[A]

I don't know. Bo has been outside at night maybe five times.

[C]

Damn.

[A]

He is not. He is very much in the house by the time it gets dark.

[B]

What's up with that?

[A]

He just goes to bed every night at. He's. He's got to be drinking his baba in his room at 7:00pm, right? So.

[B]

Yeah, but what about on like a Friday in the summertime?

[C]

Yeah. 18 inning game.

[A]

It's still light out by 9 o'. Clock.

[C]

Well, now it's starting to get dark. Is this his first daylight savings time?

[B]

Time?

[A]

No, no, no. He's almost two. Yeah. You know how that works.

[B]

It's okay.

[C]

None of us know the age of anybody.

[B]

You guys, the deal's back on.

[C]

The deal.

[B]

They just heard that and they were like, there's no way he's that stupid. We need to hear more. You cannot announce it. Maybe I just did. But the deal is indeed back on potentially.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

Celebrate. Celebrate. Good times. I'm having a blast with you guys. Guys, man.

[B]

Yeah, well, I. I can't wait for him to see darkness. That's going to be great. I remember the first time I saw darkness.

[A]

Hello, darkness, my old friend.

[C]

I remember night first.

[A]

Yeah, he gets very scared. He's been, you know, he's been outside in the backyard and stuff. But like out in the wild at night. Not. Not that often, right? He gets very scared during the cars in the movie Cars when it gets dark and. And the. And the car gets lost.

[B]

Oh, dude.

[A]

He will run. He will run and find you even though you're like 8ft away.

[B]

I thought you were going to say that during the combine. Does the combine freak him out? What's the combine when they Go cow tipping, they go tractor tipping. And the combine comes out. My kids used to fucking lose.

[A]

Very scary.

[C]

Don't know scary.

[B]

And then I'd be like, daddy's a combine.

[C]

I don't know scary. Get you kids don't know scary anymore. We grew up with scary ass. Movies.

[B]

Movies. And they got the combine at the ride at Disneyland or whatever the fuck it's called over there.

[C]

California.

[A]

I'm excited to take him to all that stuff. Just being at the World Series, I was like, man, I Wish Beau was 8.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

So I could take him to the World Series and have him be like, whoa, this is the coolest thing I've ever done.

[B]

Careful what you wish for. I'm just going to say that. Careful what you wish for.

[C]

Yeah. Why?

[B]

We've all seen. Click. We've all seen it. I mean, I'm just going to say, look, Aladdin. We all know the gypsy story of Aladdin. He had three wishes. Let's just be careful what we're wishing for.

[C]

Oh, you're saying like a monkey paw scenario. That's what you're talking about.

[B]

I don't even want to say it.

[A]

Yeah, well, I mean, you're absolutely. You're absolutely right. It's almost the Devil's Day, and we can't be wishing things. Yeah, you're right. We can't be wishing away our lives.

[B]

Gotta be very careful.

[C]

I feel like today is actually Devil's Night in Detroit where they, like, light shit on fire and stuff.

[B]

Isn't that just in the crowd? No, that's real.

[C]

No, it's a real night. It's a real night. It sounds cool.

[A]

So in Detroit, Devil's Night. Explain more because I've never heard of this. They just burn the city down.

[B]

They just make that pizza.

[C]

I think they, like, go and. I mean, I don't know. I've never participated, but I think they, like, burn abandoned buildings down. Or, like, that was a tradition.

[B]

Dude, this is like when you go to, like, a new school and you're like, there's gang fights on the roof. Someone got thrown off last year. Like. Like, what are you. They burn buildings now?

[C]

Yeah, I think. I think that's what it is.

[B]

A fire was set in 88 and we're still talking about.

[A]

No, I. I think this is exactly. Duras said it, right? This is when you go to a new school. Some kids are like, I was punk the new kid. And they're like, actually, like, don't go down that hallway. Kids get stabbed if they go down that hallway. And Then you spend the rest of the school year being late to class because you have to walk all the way around and to never go down this one hallway.

[B]

Right?

[A]

Yeah. Because you were a scared little bitch.

[C]

I know. Devil's Night's a real thing.

[B]

That kid over there leading the cheer.

[C]

Wall the night before Halloween. It can be associated with widespread vandalism in Detroit.

[A]

Is that right?

[C]

Yes.

[A]

And what are you reading? You're reading something. You didn't explain what you're reading.

[C]

I am reading historical significance.

[A]

I'm reading.

[B]

Sounds like rage bait.

[C]

No, it's real.

[A]

Well, it's real. What? A real article generated by AI.

[C]

Yeah, it's AI.

[B]

Thank you.

[C]

It's AI. Yeah. Okay. But that's the first thing that comes up.

[B]

I'd rather ask ti.

[C]

Okay, now that's a versus. I would love.

[A]

What was ti's wife's name?

[C]

Tiny.

[A]

Tiny. Yeah.

[C]

Right.

[A]

Is it.

[B]

Can't spell Tiny without ti. Right?

[C]

Okay. Is there any take backs?

[B]

Tiny Harris. Thank you, Todd.

[A]

God, tiny hairs.

[C]

Thank you.

[A]

Any Tapex. Any apologies? Any epic slam?

[B]

I mean, I guess we just want to slam ourselves for not talking about the dang, dang deal. Vegas.

[C]

Oh, oh, yeah. Las Vegas. Coming up.

[B]

Live show in Vegas.

[A]

Vegas.

[B]

It's at the Cosmopolitan. The theater's called the Viva. Is it the Chelsea? What's the theater called? Called.

[C]

What is it called?

[A]

Isaac.

[C]

Isaac clocked out.

[A]

Yeah, Isaac.

[B]

Truly. He must be on deck.

[C]

We needed him so bad today.

[A]

So bad today. Well, you know, he clocked out because I mentioned the thing about his nipples. He did not know about the nipple cards.

[B]

It can't be that I have to be a good dad.

[A]

But it is. Now he's.

[B]

And by the way, now he's clocking in about the Detroit thing. No, no, no.

[A]

It's. No, it's not even about what we're talking about.

[B]

No, no, he's got. And there's more. The Chelsea. What is this?

[C]

Sleep at the wheel today I needed you. Isaac.

[B]

He is copy and pasting straight out of chat GP with those. Those bullet points there.

[A]

Absolutely.

[C]

He's gonna accidentally post the link for the website he was looking at instead of.

[A]

Okay, so let's talk about Mischief Night. That's what it's called. The tradition of Detroit version of Mischief Night, which began in Europe and arrived in the US in the early 30s and 40s. The escalation in Detroit. The night's activities escalated for minor pranks like egging and toilet papering.

[C]

Dude, love it.

[A]

Do you miss egging and toilet papering? That Was my shit.

[B]

Still do it. Dude, I heard they would egg entire buildings on fire.

[C]

Damn right, dude.

[A]

Ders, I could see you never egging in. Toilet papering. Were you an egger and a toilet paper?

[B]

For sure. Don't know if I egged. Definitely did toilet papering, but it wasn't on Halloween. It would be like, yeah, we would.

[A]

Just do it on, like, a Tuesday.

[B]

There was, like, a swimming thing when, like, the girls, whoever qualified for, like, state, you would TP their houses, they would TP yours. It was a big deal.

[A]

I love that. When you. When you finally achieve, like, a lifelong dream, other kids come and vandalize your house. Yeah, that's pretty tight. That's cool. For the parents.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Some parent. This is what's crazy, A. There are two things to this story, okay? I got dressed down by some dad who's like, you didn't come to my house.

[C]

House.

[B]

And tp. My daughter, now she's all sad because everybody else got tp. She doesn't feel like it belong. And I was like, oh, I'm sorry. The police rolled up on us because we have two black teammates who. Somebody was like, there's some black kids.

[C]

In our front yard, okay?

[B]

And I'm like, so step back, please, sir. We almost got arrested. And they're like, you're on the swim team. We're like, yes, these guys are on the swim team.

[C]

Okay?

[A]

They're like, they're on the swim team.

[B]

We're all on the swim team.

[C]

We're all on the swim team.

[A]

So I. I understand that you're on the swim team. That makes sense. They're on the swim team.

[B]

The ones we've already put in the squad car. They're on the swim team.

[A]

Yeah. Huh, sir?

[B]

Yeah, but that was the extent of my TPing. And you'd get, like, shaving cream and right on the sidewalk.

[A]

Right.

[B]

But yeah, fully like. They were like, okay, go home now. We were like, all right, it. And then some dad was like, what's the biggest. Like, were you behind this? I'm like, you're talking to a 17 year old.

[C]

Who are these dads?

[A]

It sucks to get in trouble for not TPing crazy. We got paintballed one time. Sure. We. We TP. We would just kind of go around and look for good trees to tp. Just hopped out, found a house, and we're like, oh, there's a great tree to tp.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

You guys are like, artists. It was like an installation.

[A]

Yeah, it was like this. It was actually even before we had cars. So it was like, we would ride bikes around with backpacks of toilet paper, and then we would TP a tree. And then this guy came out with a paintball gun and just.

[B]

Love it.

[A]

Lit us up, dude.

[B]

Love it.

[C]

That's sweet.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

My friend got hit in the throat. Like, thought he, like, thought he was going to die. Like, we drug him away as if he was hurt in battle.

[C]

Right.

[B]

This is Forrest Gump. Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

It was like, leave me, dude. And I'm like, to the throat is no joke.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. No, he was. And we're like 14 years old. It was. It was pretty rough stuff.

[B]

Damn, I wish he had a deep voice after that.

[A]

It was.

[C]

I'm good.

[A]

Yeah. All of a sudden he's like, I'm.

[B]

Good with a paintball situation, mama.

[A]

Oh, good. Do you remember. Do you remember in middle school, though, when someone would come back with all of a sudden a deep voice? And then the girls started like, like, him more, and people were like, whispers. Like, I heard his dick is huge now. You guys remember that?

[B]

I thought it was balls.

[C]

Who started the whisper? Whispering. You would whisper or you.

[A]

It was mostly me and my friends being like, I think he must have a huge dick now.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And actually, it was more. I was like, dude, it was just.

[B]

More you in bed at night.

[A]

I think he must have a huge dick now. I can't wait for my voice to drop Sunday someday.

[C]

My voice never dropped.

[A]

No, it didn't.

[B]

All I remember about people who ended up having deep voices was that they were the kids who had the most like. Like. Like the vocal cords were, like, really doing work and then got deep.

[A]

Well, I remember when my voice started to change, and I was in eighth grade, I was still calling in every day for the radio station.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And I. I used to call into the radio station, do different characters, do different voices. It was. It was my thing because I couldn't play sports because I was crippled.

[C]

Hello.

[A]

And so I would do that every day and then. But I never. Up until later, I never told them my actual name. And I would just only talk to them in the characters that I'm doing. And then they'd put me on air, and I go, I know. And then. And then I went down to the station. They found out who I was. They're like, you're a child. We can't pay you. But they'd give me free concert tickets and, you know.

[B]

Right.

[A]

School Cranberry CDs and Marcy Playground CDs and shit.

[B]

Right.

[C]

Oh, cool.

[A]

It was sick. And Then. So then I call in, and my voice all was changing, and I start to do the. My character, and they're like, this is an Adam. Sorry, we're not gonna put this on the air. This isn't Adam. And I'm like, it is me. No, it's me. And they didn't believe me.

[B]

Look, my dick got bigger.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And I was devastated. And then after that, I couldn't really. They wouldn't allow my. My calls.

[C]

Wow. Yeah.

[B]

Well, you'll find somewhere to perform.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

I still believe in you.

[A]

I ended up. I ended up finding something, but it was pretty devastating. The eighth grade.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And they're all dead now anyway. Dude.

[C]

[A]
