Episode Overview

This episode finds the “This Is Important” crew—Adam, Anders, Blake, and Kyle—diving into the deep (and often ridiculous) waters of American fast-casual dining, sandwich shop ethics, separating art from artist (and from “sandwich artist”), nostalgia for sugary cereals, gun culture, prepping for possible alien encounters, and even which food mascots they found strangely attractive as kids. The episode is a blend of classic, irreverent banter, surprisingly earnest ethical dilemmas, and hilarious tangents about personal habits, childhood food memories, and hypothetical apocalypses.

Major Discussion Points & Insights

1. Fast Casual Sandwich Shops: A Debate

• Panda Express vs Jersey Mike's vs Jimmy John's
  The crew discusses the merits and downsides of their favorite quick-service spots. Adam confesses a fondness for Panda Express (“I love Panda Express so much. I’m not being paid to say this.” – Adam, 05:15), while Anders airs his loyalty to Jersey Mike’s.
• Jimmy John’s Controversy
  The conversation quickly turns to the ethics of eating at Jimmy John’s, prompted by the widely publicized big-game hunting exploits of its founder. The group debates whether you can (or should) separate the enjoyment of a product (“the art”) from the actions of the person or company behind it (“the artist”).
  • “You can’t be out here killing rhinos, bro. There’s none left, okay?” – Adam, 07:02
  • “I can separate the art and the sandwich artist.” – Blake, 09:35
  • The crew jokes about calling the episode “Separating the Art from the Sandwich Artist” (09:43).

2. Free Smells, Fast Service, and Bread Slicing

• The group gets into granular details of sandwich prep (freaky fast service, bread quality, deli meat slicing to order) and the perceived pros and cons of each chain’s approach.
• Travel Stories: Tales of bringing pungent foods (Panda Express, rotisserie chicken, Guy Fieri burritos) onto airplanes and the etiquette—or lack thereof—involved (11:14, 12:00).

3. Portion Sizes and Eating Habits

• Laugh-out-loud reflections on the absurdity of consuming a foot-long sandwich (“I just don’t feel right to have a foot long in my throat.” – Ders, 13:18), and confessions about what they can (or can’t) handle nowadays.
• Adam proudly states, “I eat a foot long veggie. Fuck with me.” (14:11), which the group agrees should be their new merch slogan.

4. Food Pyramid Mythology & Commercial Propaganda

• The hosts revisit the now-debunked “Food Pyramid” and commercial campaigns like “Got Milk?”, linking them to broader food industry manipulation.
  • “They created a whole pyramid just to sell bread.” – Blake, 15:57
  • “In 1992, the food pyramid became obsolete.” – Anders, 17:14
• The chat segues into memorable food mascots and ad icons, with both nostalgia and a keen awareness of their marketing power.

5. Food Mascots, Box Babes, & Childhood Confessions

• Hilarity and horniness intersect as they rank sexiest food mascots and box models (“The Sun-Maid woman, she got my pecker hard for sure.” – Kyle, 19:45).
• The group runs through Aunt Jemima, Miss Butterworth, Land O’Lakes, tricks for female rabbits, and even real athletes on cereal boxes.
• A recurring bit is the recognition of how few female mascots were on kids’ cereals, leading to sarcastic discussion about the “hottest” options (29:41, onward).

6. Childhood Food Memories

• The hosts reminisce about intensely sugared cereals, eating habits at home (“I used to add sugar to my sugary [cereal]. Oh yeah, you had to.” – Adam, 30:38), and differences in how their own kids view sweets today.
• The return of budgeting food like Hamburger Helper and Rice-a-Roni, both as nostalgia and practical necessity given economic realities (32:20–34:55).

7. Guns, Aliens, and Doomsday Prepping (Humorously)

• Prompted by an alleged anomalous comet, they brainstorm ridiculous “go bag” essentials for alien invasion—including Hamburger Helper and a Tommy gun. Adam invites the gang to wait out the apocalypse by fishing, skeet shooting, and camping on a boat in international waters (41:29).
• Gun Debate: The group’s views veer from the slapstick (“If you think Adam’s wrong and you’ve got a really cool AR-15... bring it. Let’s show it to aliens.” – Ders, 44:58) to nuanced (“Why do we need them [AR-15s] here in our society? It should just be a weapon for war.” – Anders, 44:34).

8. Hunting and Ethics

• They consider the ethics and thrill of hunting (elk, deer, using bows, or knives for boars vs. guns), contrasting the romantic notion of “harvesting your own meat” with darkly comedic takes on what happens next (“As soon as they die you go breathe in the soul.” – Blake, 56:52).

9. Recap, Takebacks, and Pseudo-Apologies

• As the episode wraps, the group gives sarcastic shout-outs to their favorite sandwich shops and jokes about inviting Jimmy John’s founder onto the podcast for a debate (“We’re not platforming, we’re just guys having a conversation. Awareness.” – Ders, 59:30).

[B]

Dude, I got to a. I got to a Mini mall or whatever during, like between soccer games and my kid was playing and I was like, I gotta get just like a nice. I went to Jersey Mike's. The line was out the door. Love me some Jersey mics.

[C]

I don't.

[B]

Panda was next door and I was like, you don't like Jersey Mike?

[A]

You don't like Jersey?

[C]

No, no, I do. I like Jersey mics. I wouldn't say it's my top three sandwich shops of my fast casuals.

[A]

There's only three shops.

[C]

I like Jimmy John's a lot more.

[B]

Oh, no. When's the last time you had them back to back?

[A]

That's a fact, Jack.

[C]

I don't know if I've ever had them back to back.

[B]

But I mean, like, re. Like I'm saying, like you've had it and then you had the other one soon after. I won't.

[C]

I. I'm not saying it's a bad sandwich. I like. I like the sandwich. But if a Jimmy John's is right there and they're freaky fast, I'll go in and there's free smells. I'll go over there.

[B]

Jimmy John's bread.

[C]

So good.

[B]

It's. It's gotten worse.

[C]

Oh, shut up.

[B]

I've been there recently too.

[A]

It's been a minute. Ever since he was cited as a big game hunter. I was. I was out.

[C]

He's a bad man.

[B]

He's not a good dude. Well, I still go, but like every time I regret it, so.

[C]

Blake, who gives a?

[A]

He kills rhinos. I give a. You can't be out here killing rhinos, bro. There's none left, okay?

[B]

He killed a rhino.

[A]

He'd be killing all the shit.

[C]

Well, you don't know if he's killed a rhino. Bring up a photo of. If Jimmy John's is Todd, he has photos of him, like, holding rhinos heads, killing rhinos heads.

[A]

He's like, yes, yes, he's got rhinos. He got elephants.

[C]

But you know what you do with the rhinos?

[A]

What?

[C]

You keep. You keep the tusk. You make a cool armchair out of it.

[A]

No, no, no. That's what got us into this in the first place.

[C]

Wait, you can't.

[B]

You can't do that. Look, you can't. No, Blake, you're talking to the wr.

[A]

I know. My guy is a big game hunter. He hunts exotic extinct animals. I don't like it.

[C]

I would love to kill exotic extinct animals.

[A]

Why? What is the joy in that? What is the joy in killing?

[C]

Because they are trying to kill you, Adam.

[B]

It doesn't make your dick any bigger.

[C]

I know.

[A]

Well, rhino horn.

[C]

I think, I think that's true.

[B]

Yeah, that's true.

[A]

I think if you grind it up and you put it in a shake.

[C]

Hang on.

[B]

Reverse card.

[A]

Now if you could guarantee me a couple of inches, I might be killing a rhino with you.

[B]

Hang on. So listen, you like Jimmy John's the most?

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

You support the big game. Hunter, poacher. Look at that. Next to. That is so sad. That is so sad. I hate that.

[C]

So here is the Jimmy John's guy. And it's not a rhino.

[A]

It is an elephant, which is equally terrible.

[C]

I would say even more terrible. Why I feel like elephants. They're cooler than a rhino.

[A]

Whoa. Elephant versus rhino. They're both pachyderms. They're both pretty epic. I mean, sure, rhinos are more endangered.

[B]

Adam, just get ready for your take back brother.

[C]

Are they. Are they more endangered?

[A]

Rhinos are extremely.

[B]

There's like a thousand rhinos left at most.

[A]

They literally have armed guards around them.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like rhinos are have dudes with machine guns by them.

[C]

Well, that sucks.

[B]

They. They preemptively cut the horn off so hunters don't kill them.

[A]

Ye.

[C]

That's wild. I will say. I. Yeah, I don't like any of this stuff. I do like something that isn't extinct that can kill you. That's. I think it's kind of cool. Yeah. Like shooting a giraffe.

[A]

That's fucked up, dude.

[C]

That's. That's fucked up. What did a giraffe do? Drafts. Not doing shit.

[A]

Nothing. All did is eat leaves now.

[C]

Now if it's an. It's.

[A]

There's a rhino. This guy sucks.

[C]

There's a rhino. This guy's killing rhinos.

[A]

Free smells.

[C]

It's not even about. See, I can separate the art and the artist.

[A]

I can.

[C]

I can separate the art and the. And the sandwich artist.

[B]

The sandwich artists are at Subway. They're at Subway.

[A]

Separate the art from the sandwich artist.

[C]

I like that. I sure can.

[B]

There's your title. I'm pissed now.

[C]

Feel free to give it points. Yes, points. Oh, wow.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

So I'm willing to go into a Jimmy John's and get their delicious delicious sandwich. Top notch. Free smells freaky fast. Get my order a turkey Tom and hit the fucking road.

[A]

You know what? Jersey Mike, as far as I know, is an angel. He's a great dude and yeah, I'm sure.

[C]

But he's a good fight.

[A]

And the sandwiches are as good, if not better than Jimmy John's.

[C]

So I'm going With Mike, they are good sandwiches. I'm not saying they're bad. I like, I'm. I like basically all sandwiches. Even bad sandwiches, I kind of like.

[A]

Okay, okay.

[B]

I like that they slice the meat for your sandwich. Who do The Jimmy John's. I love that before all the other ones. It's already like sliced and in the pie.

[A]

Oh, oh, that's a great call. You see it freshly sliced. It does add to the wait time, which I'm not. I'm not hyped. Yeah, getting it freaky fast.

[B]

You want good food or you want fast food?

[A]

Well, luckily with Panda Express, it's both.

[B]

Hey, in the time it takes him to slice a fucking piece of meat, that guy's already killed a giraffe and a fucking elephant. Okay.

[A]

God damn that dude.

[C]

Him goodbye. Well, they have the one. The one, I guess the one I'm thinking about, the. The Jersey mics that I have a hang up with is at the airport and I think it's the Delta at the lax.

[A]

Yeah, okay.

[C]

Lax, lax, lax.

[B]

That's a chop on you for going to that one.

[C]

What do you mean I'm just going to that one? It's the one that's just there where I'm like, ah, I wish I had a sandwich for this flight.

[B]

God damn. First class. Smells like Mike's way up in here.

[C]

Well, by the way, it's the. The options are insane. It' either like you're eating a sandwich at 10:00am which okay, I guess. Or you're eating like at least to go. Or you're eating like it's not a Panda Express, but it's like a payway or some other Chinese food right there. And I'm like, I'm not going to bring on Chinese food, which is delicious, but does reek is a very pungent smell. I'm not going to bring that onto a plane. I mean, which I've done before.

[B]

I think it's all good. I kind of like it.

[C]

I've also brought on an entire rotisserie chicken before. Yeah, but of course, you know, Blake.

[B]

See me bring on those burritos at the Burbank airport. Those Guy Fieri burritos.

[A]

Oh, Burbank airport. The Guy Fieri makes some hits. That is good. Yeah, yeah, Stop doing that.

[C]

See, when I'm looking for free smells, it's not in an airplane. That's not where I want my free smells.

[A]

Keep your smells off my plane.

[C]

Yeah, please.

[A]

I think I find it very rude.

[C]

So then you go to the one at the LAX and at The Jersey mics. And it takes so long. Like, I almost missed a flight. I'm like, I. I think I bailed on a sandwich where you're there, you're waiting, and you're like, I can't.

[A]

That is not like you.

[C]

They're boarding, they're. They're saying last call.

[B]

And that's the last time you turn your back on nine inches.

[C]

Goodbye. You know.

[B]

You know what? Here's. I. My life has totally changed since you found Jesus. I get a mini. I get a mini when I go to Jersey Mike's.

[A]

What kind of wow.

[B]

And it's enough wow.

[A]

What's a mini?

[B]

I think we've covered this. The fact that I don't know if you guys still do, but the fact that I used to eat a foot long sandwich from Subway.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Is crazy.

[A]

You can't finish a football.

[B]

I don't want to.

[A]

That's not what I heard.

[B]

I just don't feel. I just doesn't feel right to have a foot long in my throat.

[A]

Now I know you're lying.

[C]

Six. Six inches slides down just right. This is the way.

[B]

Wait, we've got the deal.

[A]

The deal is bad.

[B]

Yeah, I just. I never feel good after eating a foot long. But after eating six, after taking six inches to the Dome.

[C]

Yeah. You feel fine.

[B]

Yes, I feel unbelievable.

[A]

You're saying six inches is fine?

[B]

Oh, yeah. Just shove it in there.

[C]

Yeah. He could charge six inches. No. No problem.

[A]

Six inches is fine. I agree. I'm fine with six inches, but I can also take a. I can take a foot long. I can do.

[B]

I can't handle it anymore.

[C]

Yeah, I could for sure.

[B]

When I was younger. I could handle it like a champ.

[C]

Blake, don't act like you eat.

[A]

I eat, brother. I eat, brother. I do. I eat a whole ass.

[B]

I'm not.

[C]

I'm not buying it. I'm not buying it.

[B]

Now, do you take these 12 inches, open face.

[A]

I eat a foot long veggie. Fuck with me. Yes.

[C]

Oh, wait, wait, wait.

[B]

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

[A]

I do.

[C]

What?

[B]

Dude, that's the new merch. That's the new T shirt. I eat a veggie. Fuck with me. What? That's exactly what's gonna happen if you go around telling people you take a foot long veggie.

[A]

I do.

[B]

So what?

[C]

Fuck.

[A]

And what's the claim?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And.

[A]

And, motherfucker. I eat a foot long veggie double cheese.

[C]

Wow. Well, also good for you. Good for you. That I'm. I'm actually really impressed.

[A]

Thank You.

[C]

That you can eat food? Because I don't use for several decades and I very rarely.

[A]

I didn't eat yesterday, but I. I will eat today.

[B]

You.

[C]

You didn't eat all day.

[B]

What happened?

[A]

Lunch. I had lunch.

[C]

Okay, okay.

[B]

And did you have dinner?

[C]

See, that's the difference between us. And we can start at the penis or scream out, I eat three meals plus a day. And see who means this.

[A]

You never miss a square, that's for sure. My boy likes his square meals.

[C]

I'm three hats in a cot, baby.

[A]

Well, why do they call it a square meal?

[B]

I don't know. Because it was on, like a military tray or something. Or there's. Are there four major food groups? And that makes like a square.

[A]

It's like, isn't there seven.

[C]

Seven major food groups? That seems like way too many food groups that are major.

[A]

The food pyramid is. The food pyramid is more than 4.

[B]

Can we get back to macro and micros?

[C]

Yeah. You know, they've established that the food. Food pyramid is absolute. It's science.

[A]

What who did it is.

[B]

It's like, you need to eat as much bread as possible. And everyone's like, absolutely not.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

Who did. Why would. Why would someone make that up?

[C]

It was to sell bread.

[B]

To sell bread and, like, carbs and wheat.

[A]

They. They created a whole pyramid just to sell bread.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. Have you ever seen a Got Milk commercial? Guess what? They fucking got you.

[A]

Of course. They're hilarious. Hey, Burr, Remember that one?

[C]

No, Aaron Burr.

[A]

You don't remember that Got Milk commercial? Literally, like the most iconic commercial of all time.

[C]

No, please explain it. You just mumbling words.

[A]

Everybody knows this commercial. So me repeating it is like, people are going to be snoozing. But basically there's a guy listening to a radio station and they're like, who shot Alexander Hamilton in the duel because.

[B]

The cookies were dry?

[A]

And the dude is. Yeah, he's like, smashing cookies. And he calls in and he goes, huh? And he's like, excuse me. Like, I can't understand you. And then he, like, goes for his milk and it's dripping and he's out of milk. And he's like, it's very iconic.

[B]

Blake's parents were like, do you want to watch a movie? And then they would just turn on commercials. He's like, remember Got Milk too? Goodbye. The revenge. That was my shit.

[A]

I love commercials.

[C]

Yeah. So they're saying the food pyramid is no longer considered valid. And that.

[A]

That's crazy.

[C]

In 1990, the food pyramid became obsolete.

[A]

So it's been debunked it.

[C]

They debunked it in 1992.

[A]

92 is when I was the most on my pyramid game.

[C]

[C]

I love. I love the crowd of California raisins. So they were incredible blasphemy from Ders.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

I will not stand for when it comes to the California raisins. Because a little. Because I was. I was just a wee lad living in northeastern Iowa, Waterloo, to be exact, when I first started to see the California raisins. And it made me go, man, I want to get out there, wear some sunglasses, play the saxophone.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Get so tan that my skin wrinkles up and shrivels. And I shrivel much like a raisin. And live in California, accomplished.

Yeah, and I did it.

[A]

Living your truth.

[C]

And that's my dream.

Yeah. She was too sexy.

[A]

Yeah, because her ass is too juice.

[C]

She's a rabbit. Horny, Hornier and a rabbit. Or what they say. I don't know what to say.

[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.

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

[C]

Yep.

Old friends are coming into town.

Hey, and this. This segment is pretty riveting. This is important, us going. Like, there's for sure hot chicks on cereal boxes. Right?

The little Mr. Clean was jacked.

Yeah, she's hot.

[C]

Do you. Do your kids eat a lot of cereal? I'm looking at all of these boxes of cereal boxes, and, man, it's been a while since I've seen some of these.

[B]

We don't buy the trash shit. And they don't want it either.

[C]

They don't want it because they weren't. They didn't have it as. You kind of have to get hooked early on in order to want that or what's the deal?

[B]

I think they think it's gross. I mean, there's some exceptions, but. Yeah. Like, they don't seem to fiend for it. Like, I know I did the sugary.

[C]

Oh, dude, that was. I remember waking up and craving absolute sugar bombs in the morning.

[A]

Yeah, I used to add sugar to my sugary.

[C]

Oh, yeah, you had to.

[B]

I remember going to people's houses when they added sugar. Blew my mind.

[A]

Really. You would eat Rice Krispies plain, no sugar on them.

[B]

We just never had Rice Krispies. We'd have a sugar cereal, but I remember being like, oh, Rice Krispies. And then they were just like, spoonful, spoonful, spoonful. And, like, it turned gray. It's just like a gray mountain.

[C]

That was the best. That was. What do you mean? That was. What? Wait, you're on that. That was a.

[A]

It was so I could do one.

[B]

Spoon when I saw somebody just, like, shoveling it on.

[A]

No, you want it. You want it so that when you finish your cereal, you have, like.

[C]

You're then drinking milky sugar.

[A]

Sugary slop.

[C]

That's what you. That's what you want, Dude.

[B]

Hey, don't tell. I was doing it for three years before. Two and a half years before you're born.

[A]

That gets you ready for the first grade, man. Then you come in pumped, ready to learn how to write. Incursive.

[B]

Talking about sexy rabbits from the box.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

Yeah. It's been ruined. They don't, like. They're scared of donuts, and they're like.

Wake up. Did you.

[A]

You, like, hit them with donuts?

[C]

Does. Does your wife, like, feed them a lot of health food? And so they. They've gotten a taste for very healthy stuff.

[B]

Not health food, but healthy food, right? Not like, sure, it's not like, so crunchy, but it's just like whole foods, right? Like vegetables and that kind of.

[C]

Yeah, that's not how I was raised. It was very much packaged. Beefaroni and Hamburger Help Helper and.

[A]

Oh, dude, the best Cheeseburger Helper. Oh, cheeseburger.

[B]

Rice a Roni.

[C]

Dude, I saw something. Someone. I think it was like a Instagram reel of, like, how Rice a Roni and Hamburger Helper and Cheeseburger Helper is now back because people don't have money because of, you know. Oh, yeah, you know, society crumbling.

[B]

Late stage capitalism.

[C]

And I'm. It just made me go like, oh, I have to go get some Hamburger Helper. Imagine if they sell out. It's been years since I've ever had it, but now I'm like, oh, fuck, is this going to be? Like, suddenly I can't get toilet paper and I need to wipe my ass. But I haven't had it in years. But literally the other day I was like, we need to get Hamburger Helper in this house. Because I just. I need to have it on hand.

[A]

No, so you're.

[C]

You never know.

[A]

So you're Doom Prepper is just getting.

[C]

Hamburger Helper is just Cheeseburger and Hamburger Helper because how good is it? Dude, how good is it?

[B]

I love the idea of a broke family going into the grocery store and the parents being like, now remember, we can only get the Rice a Roni. And then they get to it and they just see you carting away with all of it being like, it's back.

[A]

Wait, totally.

[B]

I'm gonna make a whole thing of it on my boat. And they're like, please don't stop the music.

[C]

Okay, yeah.

[B]

God damn it.

[C]

If you look at it like that, that might be kind of shitty. But it's so good, dude.

[A]

It is very good.

[C]

I feel. I feel like if you grew up with money and never had Cheeseburger or Hamburger Helper, you missed out. You missed the fuck out.

[A]

Do you remember the other flavors? Like, they had, like, lasagna flavor that was kind of decent. And then they had, like, they had.

[C]

Like, Salisbury or something.

[B]

I never remember the box.

[A]

That one was hella good.

[C]

Good.

[A]

That one was.

[C]

I don't remember that.

[A]

It had, like, a flatter noodle. It was so good. There were different flavors.

[B]

This is Hamburger Helper version.

[A]

Yeah, it was Hamburger Helper with a.

[B]

Little glove that would walk around.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I mean, yeah. Salisbury. Salisbury. Larry, that was the.

[B]

That show doesn't check a box for me.

[A]

Well, it probably makes you too hungry.

[B]

I just don't identify with it at all.

[A]

Yeah, you. You wish it was set in Mike's way.

[C]

Yeah, it would make.

[A]

I watched that show.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

No, I just. It's like the trauma and the anxiety thing. I'm like, I. I wish I could go. Yeah, no, totally.

[C]

But none of us really worked in. In, like, a restaurant like that.

[A]

Well, I did work at BJ's Pizza. I remember, like.

[C]

But you were a delivery guy. You weren't back there cooking.

[B]

Yeah, Blake, you were saying, yes, Jeff, not yes, chef. Come on.

[C]

Hey, Blake was. Blake. Blake was too busy driving pizzas around and then acting like he was stoned.

[B]

I got another delivery for you.

[C]

People were like, oh, dude, I bet you smoke weed all the time. And you're like, absolutely, man. Never did. Never once.

[B]

Pazuki's on top.

[A]

That's some.

[C]

What's some about that?

[B]

I know. I just. The. The. The like and, like, the perfection stuff, like, I'm just not. I'm not that guy, pal, who's so, like, hard on themselves about whatever the. He's so hard on himself for. Well, whose brother? His brother died.

[A]

Oh, Jesus, man.

[B]

Oh, your mom's crazy, and she drove her car in the house where I guess you would be.

[C]

You hid all the money in cans of tomato sauce.

[B]

Allegedly got locked in the freezer.

[C]

Freezer.

[A]

Oh, okay.

[B]

I think that's the Last one I saw, I was running out, locked in the freezer.

[C]

Okay, well, yeah, the bear. The bear, yeah.

[A]

Very well made show as a person, As a person who worked in and around food. It resonates.

[C]

Well, dude, I worked at a service deli at a grocery store. I'm not gonna say I worked at a high end restaurant.

[A]

You should probably identify with the bear.

[C]

I don't identify. I sliced meat and made macaroni salad.

[A]

And. And did you do it well? Did you care about your job? Did you feel the pressures?

[C]

No, I've literally. I've had high pressure jobs. I've never felt pressure. Yeah, it doesn't matter because it just doesn't matter.

[B]

Dude, it just doesn't matter. We've all seen meatballs because.

[C]

Yeah, it just doesn't matter.

[A]

It does matter. You have to care. If you don't care, then, yeah, it doesn't matter.

[C]

Caring and it. Being. Having so much pressure is two different things. Yeah, caring and trying to do a good job, that's one thing, right? Being a. And putting all this pressure on yourself, that it has to be the greatest thing of all time. And then all of a sudden you have nervous breakdowns and you freak out in a. In a walk in freezer.

[B]

Goodbye.

[C]

And then you put it on television and you call that good tv. Get the out of here.

[B]

Thank you. Wow, that's a. That's a hot dish I'd eat. Wow.

[A]

Okay, well, I guess you guys, I mean, again, BJ's Pizza, a lot of customers, fast moving, you know, we're getting those pizzas out, we're getting those salads out.

[C]

Like you're not getting out. It's already out by the time you put it in your shitty ass car and you drive it.

[A]

As a delivery driver, I was responsible for scooping the ice cream onto pizookies.

[B]

Really?

[A]

Okay, so, like, I'm the guy.

[C]

Why?

[A]

You already know. I had carpal tunnel, so it wasn't really easy. And. Yeah, yeah, I. I had a mental breakdown.

[C]

I believe that.

[A]

Of course, I believe you've had a few. It was. It was high stress.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

So, like, just. I get why you guys don't respond to it, but.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, only just because it's. It. It doesn't matter at all.

[A]

Yeah, you have to care, man, if you don't care.

[B]

No, dude, caring and it mattering are two different things.

[A]

Yes, well, nothing matters. Guys, come on. What are we talking about here?

[C]

What?

[B]

Your children matter, Blake. What are you talking about? You. Your. Your children don't matter, all right?

[A]

We are just. We are just little monkeys on a rock floating through space.

[B]

Okay, I'm a panda. Come on now. Come on. You guys hear about this alien coming at us?

[A]

What happened?

[B]

There's apparently like a comet that people are like, well, with telescopes and the stuff we have, we looked at it and it's got properties that we only find in like, technology that we make. Like the certain like welding of metals and stuff. So they're like, how would it have that properties?

[C]

So it has like condominiums and. Hello.

[B]

That's funny.

[A]

Adam.

[B]

That's pretty good.

[A]

You got it. They're coming.

[C]

Yes. Points.

[B]

It's science, but we don't know what it is.

[A]

So they're looking at a comet and there's things on there that are man made.

[B]

You're saying what they're saying is that they can analyze what it's made of so they can find out exactly what it is. Right. And there are the properties, Adam.

[C]

Like a condominium.

[B]

The property is basically. They found the property. Brothers are on it.

[A]

Well, this sounds. Honestly, this sounds scary. And I think we all got to go to the store and get all the Hamburger Helper before this hits.

[B]

Talking Todd, did you just drop a link in there?

[C]

Yeah, it's called 3i-Atlas and I name it something else. Just name it something else. Dude, you can't call it. Just give it a name. Who's the guy that found it? Jeff.

[A]

Yeah, name it Jeff.

[C]

You call it Jeff's comment. You know what I mean?

[A]

Like, you know, it's like Haley's comment. Named after Eminem's daughter.

[C]

So 3i dash Atlas. Also known as C dash 2025 N1.

[A]

That's a good name.

[C]

That's a much. That's also a bad name, dude. Just give it a real name.

[A]

Let's call it Atlas.

[C]

Oh, and previously known as. So it's been known as multiple things. Previously known as Al A11P I3Z.

[B]

Dwayne the Rock. Dwayne the Comet Johnson.

[A]

So they keep going like, who named this?

[C]

Yeah, it's like the one guy named it a 11P i3z. And then the next guy's like, no, no, no, it's C 2025 N1. And then they go, how dare you? How dare you. It's 3i-ash-atlas. And I think you know that it's science. God, scientists are such nerds, dude.

[A]

They are man. God bless them.

[B]

But. So if this thing hits Earth and an get out. What's in your guys go bag Hamburger Helper. Besides. Besides a Machete for killing rhino. Rhinos for Adam. We know that that's there. We know that's there.

[A]

What's in my to go bag?

[C]

You know what? I was just thinking what would be a fun thing to do? And this is. This is what I would do with you guys is come on down here, we'll get on the boat. We'll just go out in the ocean. I'll bring some guns. I have a Tommy gun, so that's kind of fun. I also have a shotgun, and we could just go skeet shooting and just wait for aliens to attack.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

And then we have guns. We have weapons, so we can at least protect ourselves a little bit. We can go fishing, right?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Maybe we go camping.

[A]

Fun.

[C]

Yeah. Maybe we go to Catalina island, go camping for a little bit.

[B]

Oddly, Adam, I know that, like, what you're talking about might end up into some sort of, like, firefight situation where we're shooting these aliens. I'm starting to think they might just want to kill. Pick it. They're like, whoa, these cool. Look at these cool guys. Is that a Tommy gun?

[C]

Yeah, this guy has a Tommy gun. Holy. You know what. You know what people do down, down and around here is they go out to the mid to. You know, if you go three miles off the coast, now you're in international waters, baby.

[B]

Maritime law.

[A]

Now we're talking the cruise, baby.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And then we can. I'm buying a skeet gun.

[B]

That's legal.

[C]

So you. A skeet shooter. So you just put it in there, it shoots it out. We can shoot skeet on the open ocean.

[B]

Whoa.

[A]

That's rad.

[C]

How fun would that be?

[B]

And it's. Hang on a second. This is biodegradable?

[C]

It is, yeah. It's clay.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

It turns. It turns into, like, fish food, essentially, Right?

[C]

Yeah, it's just clay. It just sort of just melts into nothing.

[A]

That's so cool. I've never been skeet shooting at all. I don't know how difficult it would be.

[C]

It's pretty damn easy.

[A]

Really?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Is that because the shotgun, like, it sprays? Sprays.

[C]

Yeah, that's right.

[A]

So you just kind of have to point it in the general direction. You don't have to have a great.

[C]

Well, yeah, you got to be kind of on it, but yeah. Yeah. Shooting a shotgun is fairly easy. I believe in you.

[B]

Shoot your shotgun.

[A]

Does it have a really. A really nasty kick on it?

[C]

Have you never shot a shotgun before?

[A]

I've never shot a shotgun, no.

[C]

Oh, wow.

[B]

It'll kick you.

[C]

Yeah. You Just got to keep it tight, you know, Keep it tight to your arm.

[A]

Yeah, I've shot like machine guns in Vegas. That's pretty fun. Fun.

[C]

That is fun.

[A]

But that's indoor, and I don't like shooting guns. Indoor. That bugs me.

[B]

Too loud.

[A]

It just, like, I feel like something's gonna go wrong.

[C]

I've shot. I've shot like some AR15s and that kind of stuff, and that's the favorite of school shooters. They love that gun, Right.

[B]

Should you be talking about that? They're still looking for you.

[C]

Allegedly. The school shooters love that gun. And I'm like, I'm fairly pro gun. I think guns are pretty radical. I'm from the Midwest. I like to go pheasant hunting. I. You know, I've never been deer hunting, but I'm not opposed to it or.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And I like that kind of stuff. But AR15s, it's too easy. Yeah, it's a little too easy. And. And the kick is like nothing. You're like. It's just. It's like a toy.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Because it's got like a built in thing, that kind of suppressor takes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

It's a weapon for war, for battle.

[C]

So.

[B]

No, you're just saying it's. Why. Why do we have them is what you're saying.

[A]

Yeah. Or. Yeah, why do civilians.

[C]

Yeah. Why do we need them here in. In our society? It should just be a weapon for war.

[B]

I mean, I love the, you know, I mean, people.

[C]

People are gonna get all jazzed up about this combo. But I'm saying, hey, other. Hey, I understand you might need a handgun to protect yourself in your house in case someone breaks in and wants to, you know, rape your butt. It's science.

[B]

If you think Adam's wrong and you've got a really cool AR15 again, we're gonna be in Vegas. Bring it. Let's show it to aliens.

[C]

No. If you think I'm wrong and you think that this stance and you hate me for it, slide into Blake's dms.

[B]

Always a pleasure.

[C]

And talk and talk about it.

[A]

I don't want to talk about it. This episode is sponsored by Better Help. Hey, TII Nation. We know as winter comes, shorter days can feel dismal. But they don't have to feel that way.

The Voices for Good charity challenge with Daffy, a competition among among podcasters to see who can raise the most for charity.

[C]

We're raising money for the Turtle Conservancy and Children's Miracle Network hospitals because healthy tortoise habitats mean a healthier planet. And as someone who spent months in a children's hospital, I know firsthand how life changing that support can be.

[B]

[e-mail] voicesforgood by December 2nd to back these charities and for a chance to win a trip to the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas. That's Daffy.org voicesforgood Hey, quick question. Yeah.

[C]

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.

[C]

Yep.

[B]

Old friends are coming into town.

[C]

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.

[C]

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 in 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.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

It was for a bachelor party.

[B]

Yeah. Did you like that or no?

[A]

I didn't. I didn't love it.

[C]

Have you ever shot a handgun? Handguns are, I find, more fun than. Than just shooting a machine gun. I don't know if I have, because you gotta. You gotta aim. And it's pretty rewarding when you hit a bullseye.

[B]

Adam's the other kind of gun.

[A]

Yeah. That just.

[B]

He's like, you got to aim these pistols.

[C]

Yeah. But with a machine gun, you're kind of letting it spray a little bit. Like part of the fun is just.

[A]

Like, yeah, I wish I. I would like to shoot a Uzi. Remember how sick Uzis were in the 90s? They ran the game.

[B]

Big, big gun.

[C]

Dude. My dad gave me a Tommy gun with the full barrel.

[A]

Oh, wow, that's cool.

[C]

And it. It got stuck open, so I just had to hold it while it shot. Got like 40 bullets or however many I think it was.

[B]

40.

[A]

God.

[C]

And so it just gets stuck open, which. Very dangerous.

[B]

Sure.

[C]

And so I just had to hang on to it as it's.

[A]

Just put it down right.

[C]

Empty.

[A]

Dude, I'm just gonna put this down.

[C]

This year, Start spinning in circle, let.

[A]

It run its course.

[B]

I'm just gonna point it towards that zoo.

[C]

How did everyone get shot in the ankle?

[A]

That's weird. I just put it right there.

[B]

I had to go take a shit. I don't know.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I don't know.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I don't think I've shot a shotgun, maybe. No, I think I've just shot a rifle and a handgun. Wow. But then, like, in movies and stuff, you're shooting real guns. It's just blanks, right? So didn't we shoot guns in Gay Overman?

[A]

Game over, man. Yeah, we were shooting a lot of guns.

[C]

Yeah, I believe. I believe that to be true. But the guns, those little briefcase guns that we had were not real.

[A]

Bam.

[B]

Yeah, that's right.

[C]

Those. Those were fake.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

God. I got a friend who I swam with who lives in Norcal, like, Chico area. Every couple months, I just get a picture from him. From him of him standing over the biggest elk you've ever seen in your life. It looks like something out of a prehistoric Jurassic park horror movie.

[C]

I love that. I love that. That's awesome.

[B]

He's like, check it out, Mike. I hope you eat that. Like, what do you. You eat that, right?

[C]

Oh, yeah. You have to get it fully processed. Definitely.

[A]

Yeah. You make jerky and then.

[C]

And then if it's like a big ass elk, you can, like, skin that. You could make a blanket. Yeah, you can. It'd be. Yeah.

[A]

Why?

[C]

Well, what do you mean?

[A]

Why do you want an elk blanket? That sounds gross.

[C]

Why? Why you have blankets with fucking hair on them and.

[A]

Yeah, it's wool, Blake, you have hair. It's a sheep's wool.

[B]

You are, Blake. You are a blanket. What the. I'm pissed now.

[C]

Yeah, you're a human blanket, homie. It's sheep's. Yeah, it's the. It's the hair of sheep, homie.

[A]

Yeah, but I don't have.

[C]

So blurry for whatever reason. D. I don't know.

[B]

It's because of the.

[C]

Yeah, yeah. We cannot see that we sort of. So weird. Yeah. I don't know why.

[A]

Looks like a.

[C]

Why did you start to black out your background when you didn't do that before? What. What is.

[B]

Cuz I got. I had stuff written on the board.

[C]

Oh, okay.

[A]

It's under wraps. It's under top secret.

[B]

Top secret. Can't talk about the deal.

[C]

Yeah, the deal is. Is not done. You can't talk about it.

[B]

Yeah, that's why.

[A]

Well, you don't have to kill sheep to make blankets. That's all I'm saying. There's ways to make blankets without killing.

[C]

But they do kill the. They do kill sheep. But they do.

[B]

They shear them, don't they?

[A]

They shear them. They don't kill them.

[C]

Sometimes they kill them. Sometimes they kill them. Sometimes they kill the sheeps.

[B]

What do they kill the sheep for?

[A]

They don't.

[B]

For mutton.

[C]

Yeah, sometimes they do, Blake. Sometimes they kill the sheeps.

[B]

Why do they kill the sheep, the lambs?

[C]

Because sometimes they be naughty sheeps and they've got to kill them, Blakey.

[B]

That is true.

[A]

If the. The elk over here, I'm about to kill.

[C]

If you have a big ass elk like that, you can have elk blankets. You can elk the shocker.

[A]

I've never seen an elk blanket.

[C]

Dude, you put. You. You put that head on your wall. It's. Oh, man. That's a living room. My. My cousin, he has like, his house is absolutely insane.

[A]

Terrifying.

[C]

It's hilarious. You walk in, you're like, oh, Jesus christ. There's like 12 deer heads on the wall.

[B]

I'm like, give me a hell yeah.

[C]

I'm like, dude, one deer head. One deer head.

[A]

One big.

[C]

If it's like at a. Yeah. If it's at a cabin or you know, or if it's in your house and is down in your man lake here. You get one. You get one. Sure. He has. And I don't think I'm exaggerating. 12.

[A]

That's right.

[C]

It's so many.

[B]

You just got to put one over every toilet in the house.

[A]

That's kind of cool.

[C]

Yeah, it's. It's too. It's too many.

[B]

So you can hang your hat up and take a dish for the rest.

[C]

You get meat out of that, your freezer is. Is chock full. Delicious meats garage fridge. Yeah.

[A]

Sound like Jimmy John's right now.

[C]

I'm excited. I'm.

[A]

I'm.

[C]

Would love to go Rhino burgers. Elk. Elk hunting or deer hunting. I've never been deer hunting.

[B]

I want to do. I would do like. I'm more interested in like, bow hunting. I think we've talked about this, but just like the idea that it's a little harder than just like capping something from two football fields away.

[C]

Yeah. But it's still fairly difficult because you got to hit it in the right spot. You got to be a good shot.

[B]

That's what she said, bro.

[A]

Hello.

[B]

I. I'm. I'm a pretty good shot shot, but like, I haven't done it in 20 years.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

So you might not be, but probably not. Yeah, great.

[A]

I'm a great shot. I just.

[C]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

I refuse. I refuse to shoot.

[B]

But I guess I just like the idea of shooters. Gotta shoot that. That just the bow. Just pulling the bow back, letting that breath out.

[A]

What about the boar hunting where you have to hunt them with knives?

[C]

I would like that. But then. But then a lot of times they don't die. You have to like these poor. These deer, they get shot with this arrow, and then you gotta track them for miles because they don't die. Die.

[B]

But you're ignoring my favorite part where you get to. You get to go up to him.

[C]

And go and slit the throat.

[B]

I did this to you?

[A]

Oh, God.

[B]

Slit the throat?

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

You. And then you. When. As soon as they die, you go. You go and you. You breathe in the soul.

[A]

You guys are twisted. You guys are twisted. Okay. Powder.

[B]

Is that what he did?

[A]

No, he healed the deer.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I feel I'm. I'm a little bit more of a hunter. Durs is a absolute serial killer. Psychopath.

[B]

Yeah. There's a difference.

[C]

There is a difference between us. Started the penis.

[B]

There is a difference. Yeah.

[A]

Well, I gotta log off here.

[B]

Why? Who just walked in the room? Who's looking at you? Are you looking at a clock? Yeah.

[C]

Who's looking at you?

[A]

Oh, oh, oh, wait.

[C]

It's Kyle.

[B]

What the.

[C]

Kyle just gave me a happy Gilmore 2 putter. Can I show you guys this thing?

[A]

It's really cool, but I do have to go.

[B]

Interesting. Interesting.

[A]

He gave you that putter. I've used one.

[C]

It.

[A]

It's really cool.

[B]

Interesting.

[A]

Shaped Like a hockey stick?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

[C]

It's shaped like a hockey stick. It says Happy Gilmore right here. Boom, boom, bam. Hot damn. How cool is this thing?

[A]

It's very cool.

[B]

And who makes that and might send me Odyssey. Oh, yeah, dude, Odyssey. They're top of the top.

[C]

Top.

[A]

Yeah, I used it. I used it to golf. Kyle and I went golfing in van eyes, and he brought that as his putter, and we were passing it back and forth, and it's really hard to use, but.

[B]

What? No, it's. It's really easy to use.

[A]

Like, I don't.

[C]

Next time you guys go golfing in, invite me. I think I want to start to golf because.

[A]

Do it.

[C]

I. I'm invited to all these, like. Like golf events, right? And I always pass them up, but sometimes they're like, hey, hey, we'll fly you and your family to Hawaii, right? And you. All you have to do is do this event, and then you could spend a week in Hawaii and all expenses paid. I'm like, that sounds great, but I'm so bad that I would be an embarrassment to the entire organization.

[A]

They kick you off.

[B]

Potentially dangerous.

[C]

Yeah. Okay, well, Blake has to log off. Any takebacks, apologies, epic slams before you have to log off.

[A]

You know what?

[C]

Wow. Dude, I feel. I feel most animals. Animals do deserve it, but the animals that you're killing, they don't, because there's only. They only have, like, four or five brothers and sisters.

[B]
