I would think. I don't know. $100,000.

[Blake]

The halftime show. There's topical, English, the whole thing now, people. Yeah, Circle back to that. Do we even need to talk about that?

[Chloe]

I didn't even notice.

[Blake]

I didn't even know we even need to beat a dead horse any longer. That halftime show for the dead horse.

[Chloe]

Is that what you think he is.

[Adam]

During the halftime show? I was there. I didn' see one.

[Chloe]

That's what I heard. Adam tweet it.

[Adam]

The super bowl was. Was pretty. I mean, it's always really sick, but I was so exhausted. By the time we got to Sunday.

[Blake]

Your social battery was out.

[Adam]

I was. I was done for.

[Chloe]

I'm also.

[Adam]

I also didn't sleep during the super bowl week.

[Chloe]

Right.

[Adam]

That was. That sucked. I'll. I'll admit, I don't like.

[Chloe]

You have nervous excitement. You know, it's a big week.

[Blake]

Yeah. You had way too many espresso martinis right before bed. Whoopsie.

[Chloe]

And energy drinks. We've covered it.

[Blake]

We've covered it at length.

[Chloe]

He's a superhero. Can't get him down.

[Blake]

There's my hero. There goes my hero.

[Adam]

Yeah. But I disagree that that's what kept me up because I went to sleep.

[Blake]

We can't beat a dead horse, Adam. We can't be a dead horse.

[Chloe]

Here, we can't.

[Adam]

I didn't see the dead horse.

[Chloe]

So did you drink alcohol that same night?

[Adam]

It's science. Of course.

[Chloe]

Yeah.

[Adam]

I drink alcohol every night.

[Chloe]

Okay. This isn't like. This is not me. This is not me trying check you. This is me just going. So that was the alcohol going to work, but then the caffeine was, like, in the Trojan horse.

[Blake]

Like your fun believe.

[Chloe]

Or in the bowl, if you will.

[Adam]

Yeah, maybe that's.

[Chloe]

And then when you woke up three hours later, it was like, caffeine time.

[Adam]

Yeah, maybe.

[Blake]

You know what it is, what it.

[Adam]

Is, It's a vicious cycle.

[Chloe]

It's a metaphor for the country. Actually, the caffeine's taken over.

[Blake]

At least Adam made it to the Super Bowl. I dipped out the day before. I had to retreat to my mother's house because I was so. My social battery was so on low.

[Adam]

God, I hate that.

[Blake]

That I had to. I had to take Bart to Concord.

[Adam]

What's funny is Blake actually says stuff like that. You say social battery in your. In your real life.

[Blake]

You know, I didn't until today because that's the only way to describe the way I felt after super bowl week. It was a blast. We were running. We were gunning.

[Chloe]

I just would learn more.

[Adam]

I was just saying. Yeah, learn more words. It's not. You don't have to come with, like, a new wave bull crap, new ag social battery. How about. Was it your social battery, or were you just so drunk for six days leading up to it? One more day of getting drunk, you were like, enough.

[Blake]

No, because that's not what it was, Adam. That isn't what.

[Chloe]

Drunk. Right.

[Adam]

Were you pissing out of your butt?

[Blake]

No.

[Adam]

Were you doing peepees out of your butthole?

[Blake]

No. I hit a point.

[Chloe]

The social.

[Adam]

Do you think that's what's happening? Because that's what was happening to me. I could talk. I could talk to people all day long, but I was on two hours of sleep.

[Chloe]

Yeah.

[Adam]

I kept having to excuse myself and pee out of my butt multiple times in.

[Chloe]

In public. You did?

[Adam]

Oh, several times. Here's what happened. Here's what happened before. Before I go into the.

[Blake]

And now I can't get that visual out of my mind before I go.

[Adam]

Into the Super Bowl.

[Chloe]

What do you feed your dog?

[Adam]

We're at the tailgate, and we're at the fancy tailgate, and, like, all the owners are there.

[Chloe]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Adam]

And I'm. I'm talking to Gavin Newsom.

[Chloe]

What?

[Adam]

You know, he comes over trying to.

[Chloe]

Get my vote My second favorite. Gavin, Go ahead.

[Adam]

We're. We're chatting it up within. We're talking, and I go, all right, well, thanks. Good to see you. I excused him. I excused him from the conversation. And he's like, oh, okay. Well, good to see you. Good to see you. Chloe was like, why are you.

[Chloe]

I've got your vote.

[Adam]

Like, you don't kick him out of the conversation. He kind of kicks you out of the conversation. I'm like, I have to take a. Like, if he doesn't. I'm sorry, but if he doesn't leave right now, I might shit in front of the future president. That's not something I want to do.

[Chloe]

Okay.

[Blake]

You heard it here first. You heard it here first.

[Chloe]

Was this the gathering? I saw, like, somebody posted a video. Juggalos.

[Adam]

The gathering.

[Blake]

This is the Juggalo tail races.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Chloe]

I saw a video of, like, every celebrity all walking together in, like. Is it called a procession? What is it called walking across a parking lot? And it was like, Leo. It was like Jamie Foxx. I. It was Zac Efron. Is this where you were?

[Adam]

Efron was there, yeah. Well, it was all. All the celebrities. Kevin Costner come to the same entrance.

[Blake]

Yeah.

[Adam]

And they. Do they make you feel special? You get there, you have a little handler.

[Chloe]

Let me guess what they serve. Did they serve baby back ribs? Literally.

[Blake]

God damn.

[Adam]

They, like, usher you into the party that way. And they're like, hey, if you have any problems, you hear, text us. We'll come get you vanilla isos off. Which, by the way, I was like, we're not going to have any problems. There's real celebrities here. Absolutely. I'm just going to take photos with, like, some moms and. And. But then we ended our way in into this fancy tent, and there was just, like, every owner of every everything. Like, Jerry Jones was there. The owner of the Chiefs was there, who looks like he was wearing a wig, but I don't think it is. I don't think it's a wig, but his hair looks wiggish.

[Chloe]

If it looked like it, it probably was. Look at Blake, maybe.

[Adam]

I mean, we'll bring up a photo of this guy who's very. He was totally nice.

[Blake]

Just because you have a wig doesn't make you not nice.

[Chloe]

Yeah.

[Adam]

Whoa.

[Chloe]

Blake's very defensive.

[Blake]

And Adam, that's the second time you've crossed your eyes on this pod, and I'm liking that he's gooning. That's something you're starting. And if you're watching on Netflix, not on YouTube, any longer then you are seeing these cross eyed shenanigans and.

[Adam]

Sorry. Well, dude, that's. My body's still cross eyed. I gained. Talk about what you think I gave.

[Chloe]

Are we finishing that story and then we can circle back to your.

[Adam]

Okay, okay.

[Chloe]

Humongous anatomy.

[Blake]

Yeah. Come on. Add.

[Adam]

Okay, so yeah, he had insane and wig like hair, but it was fine. But looking around this group, I'm like. To Chloe, I was like, you're a monster. Are in the Epstein files.

[Chloe]

Oh, God. All of them.

[Adam]

Like, this is like very much like a elite group.

[Chloe]

Yeah.

[Adam]

Like the NFL owners. I would say that's maybe the. The biggest, the. The most. Like we don't have kings in America, but the NFL owners are.

[Blake]

Yeah, well, they're like dukes.

[Adam]

About as big as you get.

[Chloe]

And were you the jester of the group? Yeah, it's an elite. You could call it a ring.

[Blake]

Yeah, sure.

[Adam]

Some might call it a ring, sure. But yeah. So besides the ones that were in the Epstein list, and there for sure were a few probably. It was. It was awesome. It was very, very nice.

[Chloe]

Yeah.

[Adam]

Great food. And then we went in to the actual Super Bowl. And guess who I ran into again? Every Super Bowl I've ever been to.

[Blake]

Ah, the boom guys.

[Adam]

Which I'm thinking. I think it's five.

[Blake]

Okay.

[Adam]

Of course I ran into Big justice.

[Chloe]

But is that who you're thinking of or that's no boom. Also ran.

[Adam]

Also ran. Okay. No, it was my boy, Guy Fieri.

[Blake]

Love Guy. Area legend from.

Big shout out to Tony Khan.

[Chloe]

He.

[Adam]

[Chloe]

Yeah.

[Adam]

And then I look over, three boxes down, my boy, Guy Fieri.

[Blake]

I love it.

[Chloe]

Sorry. Three boxes down, three boxes down.

[Blake]

Adam's hanging out over the edge.

[Chloe]

You're craning your neck, you're snooping. Huh?

[Adam]

No, no, no. It was very. It was a weird setup where like you could look down like this and it was all open.

[Chloe]

Got it, got it.

[Adam]

And. And I look down, I see Guy Fieri. He gives me a point. We're doing points.

[Chloe]

Yeah.

[Adam]

I felt really good. I felt really good.

[Chloe]

You blow a kiss.

[Blake]

I didn't.

[Adam]

I didn't blow a kiss.

[Chloe]

I'm a start.

[Adam]

And then I also met Shaboozi and we talked about how much he loves it. Yes.

[Blake]

There you go into Shaboozi.

[Adam]

Yeah. Teddy Swims. Didn't know who he was.

[Chloe]

Met him Seems like a name I might have to Google.

[Adam]

He has a lot of hit songs. He sang at the. At the tailgate party. And I was like. I'm like, oh, I don't know this guy even a little bit. Teddy Swims. It's crazy that they hired this nobody for this huge tailgate. You think they'd get someone huge, right? And then I knew every song, and I was like, oh, this is a hit. Huge hit song now. I didn't know who this was.

[Chloe]

That's all right. We're aging out.

[Adam]

We're aging out. I didn't know smoking.

[Blake]

Can I play 15 seconds of his most popular song really quickly?

[Chloe]

Can you speak?

[Adam]

You know, cool.

[Blake]

I'm gonna skip ahead.

[Adam]

And I'm Zoner.

[Blake]

Oh.

[Chloe]

Adam.

[Blake]

Okay, I'll dip into that.

[Chloe]

And where are we hearing this? Is this on the AM radio? I guess I just don't even know where to find music anymore. I'm just hearing it in the background of, like, girls working out on Instagram. That's where I'm getting my music.

[Blake]

That's it.

[Adam]

So Todd is saying he was nominated for a Grammy this year for I've got. I've tried everything but Therapy.

[Chloe]

That's his song.

[Adam]

Haven't we all?

[Blake]

There's the cross eyes again that.

[Chloe]

Wait, sorry. That's the song.

[Blake]

That is the name of an album. Yes, that's the name of an album.

[Chloe]

I love it for best pop. And so now is out. The second album's gonna be, like, Tried Therapy.

[Blake]

No, it's actually called no More.

[Adam]

Actually tried it.

[Blake]

Yeah.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Chloe]

Got no more songs Now I'm good.

[Blake]

It's called I'm good Now.

[Chloe]

I'm out. I'm out.

[Adam]

But the Super Bowl. Super bowl was fun. The game really sucked, so.

[Blake]

Oh, that was a snoozer, man.

[Adam]

Is mostly just, like, eating and drinking and, you know, hanging out was a true. And I thought Green Day did a great job. They didn't say, like, fuck Trump and KKK Fascism like they do with some of their other shows.

[Chloe]

Yeah.

[Adam]

You know, which I also get. I don't know if I would do that at the Super Bowl. I think there's a time and a place for. For those things right now.

[Blake]

Floor is yours.

[Chloe]

Go for it. What do you got, Trump?

[Adam]

I don't like the guy.

[Chloe]

Okay.

[Adam]

This also isn't the Super Bowl.

[Chloe]

You heard it here first. He's in. Adam, he's in the window behind you. He's in the window.

[Blake]

He's like Freddy.

[Adam]

And then. And then the halftime show was sick.

[Blake]

The Kid Rock 1. You watched it on your phone.

[Chloe]

He was the grass.

[Blake]

You watched the kid rock one on your phone.

[Adam]

Watching. I mean, watching those, like, 300 trees or however many trees came in.

[Blake]

Oh, the trees.

[Adam]

The little, like, trees were the stars. I mean, it was. It was great. Oh, yeah, it was very cool.

[Chloe]

And did they just stand there?

[Adam]

Yeah, they just stood there. And you couldn't tell that they were people when they were just standing there. And I think I was like, why would they do that? But really, it takes less time for them to pay someone to run on, stand there like a tree and run back off, then set up a bunch of trees.

[Chloe]

That's what I heard.

[Blake]

Oh, wow. Dude, that's actually really smart.

[Chloe]

Is it? I feel like you could just have rows of trees on wheels and push that right out.

[Blake]

No, no, that's a long row of wheels.

[Chloe]

That seems impossible.

[Blake]

What if it tips over? Who's picking that up?

[Adam]

Also, there was a point where he stayed. He, like, fell back and they caught him and he was like, the trees caught him, but you couldn't tell. It just looks like he's in the trees.

[Chloe]

So you get two people dressed like.

[Adam]

I love that.

[Blake]

I love that.

[Chloe]

You never know. You're true. I am.

[Adam]

You're thinking small. You're thinking small. And this is why our live shows are small. Okay. We think we need to think much, much, much, much larger.

[Chloe]

Is this going to be next year's Halloween costume? Is everyone's be dressing like.

[Blake]

Hope so.

[Adam]

I hope so.

[Blake]

That would be really cool. Well, it's a good group, a group thing. Don't go as one tree because then you'll be like, by the way, shout.

[Chloe]

Out to whatever group of friends dresses like the trees. And then like the fucking. What do they call it? Like the leader. The group leader.

[Blake]

Sure.

[Chloe]

He dresses like Bad Bunny.

[Blake]

Oh, like the hottest dude friend.

[Adam]

Good.

[Chloe]

What a. What a rough look. You are not getting any money that night if you're the tree. Because everyone's just looking at your friend who's the bad bunny.

[Blake]

That's true. But he's probably bad bunny for a reason. He's probably the hottest friend.

[Chloe]

Unless you're like ugliest, fattest, most fun friend is the bad bunny.

[Blake]

Okay.

[Chloe]

It doesn't work.

[Blake]

I like that too. I'm down for that.

[Adam]

I loved the one of his hit songs. I saw somebody, like, translate it into English and it's you.

[Chloe]

What?

[Adam]

One of his hit songs.

[Chloe]

You saw it? Let me get this right. You saw it translated.

[Blake]

What the hell?

[Adam]

That's right. And it's science. This person. Dude, the song rocks. It's even better than I thought it was. I was like, oh, this is a catchy song.

[Chloe]

I think it works pretty well in its native language.

[Adam]

Well, sure, yes, but, but if you want to know what he's saying, it, it has to be translated if you are only an English speaking person. Like my idiot in German.

[Chloe]

You speak German? Fluently. Interesting.

[Adam]

Yeah, but the song goes, I like women. It's something like, I like women. I got women. I got all kinds of women. I'm in the vip. I'm in the vip. We're in the vip. I take a selfie.

[Blake]

Okay, okay.

[Adam]

Dude, I was like, this song rules. And people were like mad at it. I'm like, why? Why are you mad?

[Blake]

Dude, dude, people are mad at it. It was just pissed me when they're like, the halftime has to be in English. What the fuck are you even talking about? Who cares?

[Chloe]

Here's what's crazy to me. People who are like, it's, it's got to be in English. And then the other people who are like, we don't need subtitles.

[Blake]

I'm like, we can't be in the middle, dude. That's subtitles.

[Chloe]

Aren't there Spanish subtitles for the game?

[Blake]

That's what I'm saying. We, you know how we meet in the middle? It's like parents remember when both sides are fighting, they're like, fine, now we're taking it away. So I think that for the next few years, until we get it together, no lyrics allowed. It has to be jazz. It has to be Kenny. It has to be Kenny G up there blasting some hits or just beats.

[Adam]

Or just like, it could be like a Latin vibe. It doesn't need to just be Kenny.

[Blake]

G. Yeah, well, I think Kenny, like.

[Adam]

I liked the Latin vibe, dude. I, I, I, I was blasting Little Bad Bunny.

[Blake]

Okay, so what if we have, what if we have like jazz centric, like a, like, like no lyrics, world music or like new age shit? That would be kind of sick. Kind of like pure moods a little bit. You remember that compilation?

[Chloe]

Yeah, I think, I think you can.

[Adam]

Do whatever you would like without the lyrics.

[Blake]

Just no lyrics, no lyrics allowed.

[Adam]

But it doesn't need to be, it doesn't need to be world music or whatever the fuck world music needs to be like, or whatever it could be.

[Blake]

Your mood is so good by just.

[Adam]

I'm pissed now.

[Chloe]

I just like when it's legends, when it's like a legend, somebody who's not like at the peak of their powers at the moment. Like, it was a great show. It was good. I kind of like people who. You're like, oh, my God. Damn. They got them. People who are kind of like, not out there all the time already, because then it's special.

[Adam]

That's why I love the one. Did you guys go to the super bowl when it was in LA and it was Eminem?

[Chloe]

Yes. That was awesome. That was awesome.

[Blake]

That was. That was a great super bowl halftime.

[Chloe]

That was great.

[Adam]

That was an all time super bowl where it's 50 cents and Eminem and Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg. It's like you get any one of these guys individually and you're like, ah, that's okay.

[Blake]

Right?

[Adam]

But you get all five of them and you're like, oh. But like, it's a wall of hits.

[Chloe]

For 20 minutes in my mind. Rihanna, perfect.

[Adam]

Yes.

[Chloe]

Legend, little bit past her prime. Peak powers. Comes in pregnant, rocking the Solomons.

[Blake]

Crush it.

[Chloe]

I liked it when it was Springsteen. Prince. Maybe the best.

[Blake]

Yeah. Prince, Rocket.

[Chloe]

Like Michael Jackson, who you think you're never gonna see ever again.

[Adam]

Michael Jackson, rock.

[Chloe]

And then they come back. Michael Jackson.

[Blake]

So you're making a push for. Well, who would that artist be? Who would be like a legendary artist on death's doorstep that you really want to see for one last time? The Stones.

[Chloe]

I was interviewed. I'm doing press right now for Monarch season two. It's coming out.

[Blake]

Oh, hell yeah.

[Chloe]

And so Apple music hosts the halftime show. And they were like, who do you want to see? And I said, anybody but Bad Bunny.

[Blake]

Whoa.

[Chloe]

I said. And the mic just slowly was pulled away.

[Adam]

No, they push it right in your face like this.

[Blake]

Say more, say more, say more, say more. Throw dirt on your grave.

[Chloe]

Any press is good press. My suggestion was Outcast.

[Blake]

Oh, done.

[Adam]

Oh, Outcast would be great. But you know what Outcast would then do?

[Chloe]

What would they then do?

[Adam]

It would be. They do. They do like 10 minutes of outcast Bangers. And then all of a sudden, other Atlanta stars are there. All of a sudden, Luda's doing a.

[Chloe]

Bit, and I think they've come out as a part of a medley before. I think maybe Big Boy, I can't remember, but, like, I feel like there was an Atlanta medley at one point.

[Blake]

I mean, that would go crazy.

[Chloe]

But, dude, Outkast has the hits. They've got the prestige. And then. Yes. They could have somebody who's from Atlanta come, like, under their wing and do, like a little something.

[Blake]

Yeah.

[Brandon Kyle Goodman]

I'm Brandon. Kyle Goodman, the host of the Tell me Something Messy Podcast. I wanted to create a safe, comfy place for all of us to talk about sex, relationships, and what it means to be human. And, baby, my fantastic guests are bringing their mess to share with the class, like singer songwriter Duran Bernard, suggesting we reinstate adult sleepovers with friends.

[Duran Bernard]

Here's the thing. Get a group that's mature enough not to be putting your hand in warm water and tickling you. You know what I'm saying?

[Chloe]

Like, I mean, I don't.

[Adam]

Like. I mean.

[Duran Bernard]

I mean, granted, I might be doing. But, you know, like. And I think it's important for those examples of that, of us just being gentle with one another, because the world and the people in it already finding brand new ways to whip our ass every single day, 1,000%. So the least we could do is make strides to handle each other in a way that is.

[Blake]

Yeah, with. That's.

[Duran Bernard]

That's. With care and a bit more mindful.

[Brandon Kyle Goodman]

Listen to. Tell Me Something Messy on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

[Adam]

My dad was. I mean, he's. My dad's very liberal, sometimes too much so. But he goes, well, do you like the halftime show?

[Chloe]

Here we go.

[Adam]

And my mom's like, you just. You didn't understand. You didn't understand the meaning.

[Blake]

They were saying, VIP take selfie.

[Adam]

And I also was like, I didn't understand the meaning. The mean meaning. And she's like. But she's like, yeah. He just doesn't get the meeting, like, thinking, like, he's being offensive or racist or whatever. But then he's like, I just, you know, it'd be nice if I understood the lyrics. And I'm like, you don't understand the lyrics on any song you've ever heard. What's the difference? Go read a book.

[Chloe]

You would literally have something.

[Blake]

You don't know what the ACDC saying, Stop it. You don't know.

[Chloe]

My kids love thunderstruck. I, like, looked at the lyrics the other day. It's just about going and, like, getting head from a stripper.

[Blake]

I think, bro, that's what every rock song is about.

[Chloe]

No, I. I know, but this is specifically just like, I'm in the eye of the screen. It's like a dancing chick. And then, like, when she blew me, I was thunderstruck.

[Blake]

Thunderstruck.

[Chloe]

My.

[Blake]

I hit the back of her throat.

[Chloe]

He goes to, like, Texas, I think.

[Blake]

Thunderstruck.

[Adam]

Oh, so this is a. So outkast was offered the opportunity to headline the super bowl halftime show, but Andre 3000 refused to shorten hits like hey ya. And the way you move to fit the strict broadcast time limits for something.

[Blake]

Okay, yeah.

[Adam]

And then Big Boy later performed as a guest with Maroon 5.

[Chloe]

Thought I said it.

[Blake]

Well, that's thunderstruck.

[Adam]

Well, that. I'm. I'm not feeling that Thunderstruck because Maroon 5 and Big Boy don't seem like they go together that well.

[Blake]

Why not? Dude, you didn't.

[Chloe]

I mean, they both undeniable.

[Blake]

They're both thunderstruck, dude. Super thunderstruck.

[Chloe]

Let's just say they're both thunderstruck. We can admit that.

[Blake]

I totally agree.

[Adam]

I'm reading the lyrics here. It doesn't seem like.

[Blake]

Come on, read. Read them.

[Chloe]

What are we talking about here? Texas was fun. We had some. Met some girls, some dancers, strippers who gave a good time, broke all the rules, played all the fools. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They blew our minds. And I was shaking at the knees. Could I come again, please? Yeah, them ladies were too kind. You've been thunderstruck.

[Blake]

Oh, shit.

[Adam]

I'm not. I think you're reading into it a little. A little far.

[Blake]

Okay, wait. What part of can't. Could I come again, please? Shaking at the knees is reading into it too far.

[Chloe]

Give him the floor.

[Adam]

Because, hey, you could come again, which is. It's on the sign of. Of every convenience store you ever go into. It's like, come again, please?

[Blake]

Yes.

[Chloe]

Yeah, they know what they're saying.

[Adam]

Come again?

[Blake]

Yeah, I'm beaten off in the 7:11.

[Adam]

Come again, please. You have me shaking at the knees. He's nervous. It's a thing. That one is right. You're just a little nervous. You've been thunderstruck. You knocked her. You know, it was like you see a pretty girl or something. You're a little nervous, huh?

[Blake]

Shaking at the knees.

[Adam]

You want to come back. You want to come back and see her again?

[Chloe]

Okay, I want them to hear this and be. And think you're serious.

[Blake]

I gotta call this guy's podcast and explain the sound. Hey, Adam.

[Chloe]

I assume he talks right now that.

[Adam]

I bet, is a pretty good.

[Blake]

It's about getting your dick sucked, youngster.

[Adam]

Pretty good impression.

[Blake]

Do I have to spell it out for you?

[Chloe]

Where are they from? Australia.

[Adam]

They're from Australia. They're from Australia. I remember we went and partied with the Sons of like Angus Young or someone, I forget who, but it was the Sons of the. The ACDC guys and they have a bar in Sydney and we went and party with them one night.

[Blake]

What if the original. The first pass at it Was she suck my Coke. And they're like, whoa, dude.

[Adam]

If it came out nowadays, it'd be.

[Blake]

Like, lick my ass. She had me shaking at the knees when she tongued my butt. Dude, that tongue my butt said it thunderstruck.

[Chloe]

Tongued my butt. Hello.

[Adam]

Now, hey, nowadays, that's a. That's a. That's a cardi b lyric.

[Chloe]

That's a cardi b.

[Blake]

Now, that's a halftime show.

[Chloe]

Oh, dude. Hit the dance floor.

[Blake]

Tongue my butts on. Oh, tongue the butts on.

[Chloe]

At my wedding, do this.

[Adam]

I love this. At my wedding.

[Blake]

Turn the butts on. Come on, Ann, Arlene, let's go on the dance floor.

[Adam]

Dude, we have to take it. You have to take a drink. Here's the game. You have to drink a drink every time he says, from my butt tongue. But have you ever played that drinking game where you drink every time they say thunderstruck?

[Chloe]

Oh, no.

[Adam]

Or thunder.

[Chloe]

Oh, that's funny, because in the beginning, it's like five times in a row. Oh, yeah.

[Adam]

It's concerts like thunder.

[Chloe]

And Adam, when I met you, I knew this guy. I knew how to party. But this is a revelation.

[Blake]

Cause I tongue my butt. I know my tongue your butt. It's out of.

[Chloe]

You ever play the drinking game when you're watching football and, like, when they say, hut.

[Blake]

You gotta drink, you gotta talk.

[Chloe]

Just the alcoholic who's like, I got a new game. When you go to the grocery store and you go down an aisle, you gotta take a shot, you gotta take a shower. That's drinking in public.

[Blake]

God damn.

[Chloe]

On a Tuesday.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Chloe]

You don't know how to party.

[Adam]

I feel like I don't drink in public anymore.

[Blake]

Well, we did a pretty good job of it.

[Chloe]

Do you guys walk around your neighborhoods drinking?

[Blake]

Only on Halloween.

[Chloe]

Because that, to me, is the only thing I ever want to do.

[Blake]

Oh. Is be the main.

[Chloe]

Is just walk around the neighborhood with a drink.

[Blake]

Like a solo cup. Solo cup or just with, like, a brewski in?

[Chloe]

I don't know. I've got, like, a little koozie for a can that I'll put it in.

[Blake]

Oh, there we go.

[Adam]

There we go. It's a little concealed. Concealed carry.

[Chloe]

And I just want. I just want to walk around, you know, check out the neighborhood, make sure everything's all good. Drink.

[Blake]

I think that goes most states, but California, you got. I don't know. Feels a little. You can't.

[Chloe]

No, you can't. It's not. You're not allowed to.

[Adam]

You can. You can. Well, Durst lives in California, and He.

[Chloe]

Is literally saying like, it's. It's not legal in Illinois, but it was like the way of the world.

[Blake]

Yeah.

[Chloe]

Like walk around to people's houses with big ass cups. Like the, like insulated mugs.

[Blake]

Absolutely. Oh, yeah.

[Chloe]

In the 90s.

[Adam]

No, that's. That's very much a thing down where I live. Yeah. You know, people are just walking around. Yeah. The best people's noses are. Are so, so bulbous and red.

[Blake]

Well, I, I felt like, you know, Adam, and you said that I wasn't going to do it, but I was so. I felt like I looked like such hammered shit and I felt so. My social battery was so low.

[Chloe]

Crossing the I.

[Blake]

So low.

[Chloe]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. At what?

[Adam]

Percent 69, dude.

[Blake]

10%. 10%. 10% low, man. I remember you said I wasn't gonna do a cleanse, but I'm on like day three of. Of. Of cleansing.

[Adam]

No. What does that mean?

[Chloe]

That's. That's just showering for you, right?

[Blake]

Yeah, well, I do a little bit of that.

[Chloe]

Blake, that's not a cleanse.

[Adam]

I will say that There were several photos that I was looking through. My photo. I, I took like 11 photos, by the way, and we're not in like nine of them. I'm like, what did I. I mean, such a bad job of super bowl week. Super bowl week.

[Chloe]

Yeah. You're busy living. I love it.

[Blake]

Yes.

[Adam]

I love it too, but I am like, gotta take some photos. I do. I should have take a photo.

[Chloe]

What do you want to take a photo of?

[Adam]

A friendship. And you, my friends, doing fun stuff. Thanks, bro. Kicking field goals, having fun together.

[Blake]

Yeah.

[Adam]

But the few photos I do have of Blake, he looks like hammered shit.

[Chloe]

Yeah.

[Blake]

I looked so bad.

[Adam]

You look so drunk.

[Blake]

I. I just looked terrible the whole time.

[Adam]

Yeah, well, I, I also was. Slept zero hours. I slept a total of eight hours and three days.

[Chloe]

Hey, Adam. I'm drunk now. Talking about how Blake looked.

[Adam]

Okay. Oh, sorry.

[Chloe]

Sorry. I just.

[Blake]

I, like, I was almost like. I was really. I was just really disappointed in how I looked. I looked like hammered and I felt.

[Chloe]

Well, welcome to our world.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Blake]

And I felt so. And I don't know if it was just because I'm like coming off of like being in Winnipeg where it's, It's. It's hard to look good out there. It's hard to look good because it's dry and it's cold.

[Chloe]

I don't think it has anything to do with where you were a month ago.

[Blake]

I haven't recovered yet.

[Adam]

And also it's Dry. And it's cold.

[Blake]

It's.

[Adam]

It's covered in snow. Yes, on dry.

[Blake]

It is dry.

[Chloe]

It's the morning after. I didn't drink. I finally had bags under my eyes for some reason. I think it was the sugary drinks. But, like, what were you drinking? Oh, I was.

[Adam]

Whatever was around.

[Blake]

Bud lights and Tonga room drinks. Like, because the first night.

[Chloe]

Night was a lot of kind of everything.

[Blake]

Oh, the first night, we. And we. Guys, now that we've done two Super Bowls, we. Let's chill the first three days so that when Friday, Saturday, Sunday, the actual fun days roll around.

[Adam]

We're.

[Blake]

We're good to go.

[Chloe]

If you're. I'm sorry. If you're watching Netflix and you're wondering who this third person on the podcast is.

[Adam]

Yep.

[Chloe]

Don't worry. I don't recognize him either.

[Adam]

Well, by the way, Blake, it's not.

[Chloe]

It's right over the punchline.

[Adam]

Sorry, sorry.

[Chloe]

No, him with the fucking doom.

[Blake]

Doom. They'll move it, so.

[Chloe]

They'll move it.

[Adam]

It'.

[Blake]

It.

[Adam]

It's not about the three days. It's about not burning the house down on day one, if you noticed. I didn't. I did not burn it down. Day one. You guys went out and went and drinking all night. But that being said, I had things to do several hours earlier than you guys did. So.

[Blake]

And I was excited, man. We were in San Francisco, the Bay Area. Like, I. I just felt like my. My brain was everywhere. There were so many people I wanted to see, and then my social battery just got so low. Yeah.

[Adam]

And why didn't you. And see when we go to New Orleans, a city that I know really well, I take us around, I get us dinner reservation.

[Blake]

Yeah, that was.

[Adam]

He took us different.

[Blake]

That was night one.

[Adam]

You showed. You showed me no spots, and, you know, I saw no spots.

[Blake]

There were two times, in fact, I.

[Adam]

Took you to a spot. I took you to Tonga Room.

[Blake]

Thank you. Which was really awesome. Me and Durs hung out. We went to rumpus room on night one, and then on Friday, that. When Durs left, that's when I went and explored on my own. You were busy, though. You couldn't come out to, like, that's when I really tapped in with all the Bay Area artists I was trying to hang with. And then I went and got.

[Chloe]

Can I ask you a question about your social pattern?

[Blake]

Yes, yes, of course. Yes, of course.

[Chloe]

You know when you get those batteries that kind of like, attach to your phone?

[Blake]

Yep. I bought one in the airport.

[Chloe]

Is that what Adam is for? You you think? Oh, so, like, when you guys click.

[Adam]

Together, we power each other up.

[Chloe]

You power each other up.

[Adam]

Yeah, I could see that.

[Chloe]

I'm not saying Adam's just a battery. We all know he's not that.

[Adam]

No, no.

[Chloe]

But for you, Blake, when you're with Adam, does it give you a little extra juice?

[Blake]

Absolutely freaking lutely. My.

[Adam]

All my.

[Blake]

All my boys juice me up. But yeah, Adam gets me. Adam gets me because he gets you juice.

[Adam]

Now do I turn your book?

[Blake]

I wish you would, but remix. Juice him up.

[Chloe]

Can someone out there who's good at A.I. please make that. Thank you.

[Blake]

Yes, thank you, thank you, thank you. Yeah, no, I. You know, Adam. Adam gets me going. When Adam's ready to go, I get pretty hyped because. What. I think it was Tonga room night. That whole day, I was kind of like. My social battery was, like, really low.

[Adam]

Oh, God, I hate this.

[Blake]

But you were like. You kept going. Hey. Like, immediately you're like, let's go. Let's go out drinking tonight. Like, that's all you were requesting.

[Adam]

Dude, I was ready. That was a night that I don't.

[Chloe]

Even understand what is so great. That's just kind of standard operating procedure.

[Adam]

That's standard. But we. We went after.

[Blake]

No, but Adam had it. Adam hadn't called Babe Ruth, called his. His shot yet.

[Adam]

A little twinkle in my eye that night.

[Blake]

Yeah, that night he was like, this is what we're doing. And I'm like, got it. Okay. Okay. Because I was feeling like I was done after night two. Really?

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Chloe]

I mean, well, yeah, we were out till three that night, which was awesome. Yeah.

[Blake]

Both those nights, that's where I was like. I kept talking to Isaac. I'm like.

[Chloe]

That's when you told me you loved me before you went to your room.

[Blake]

I do love you. It's a bagel, apparently.

[Chloe]

Apparently.

[Blake]

Yeah.

[Adam]

Blake. And then he kept trying to fuck Isaac. He kept.

[Blake]

I did not.

[Adam]

Yes, he did. He kept going. Telling Isaac he was going to sleep in his room because your hotel is too far away when it was like three blocks away. It was very close.

[Blake]

It's a long walk in San Francisco.

[Chloe]

A San Francisco three block walk at three in the morning is a lot of fun.

[Blake]

Yeah.

[Adam]

Yeah. But there's. But it was different. San Francisco. I'll say it. I've gone on record saying that San Francisco is a garbage city I never liked because it has been the last half dozen times I've been there.

[Blake]

That's a right wing talking point. All right.

[Adam]

No, dude, it's gross. It was gross. He's right.

[Chloe]

All right.

[Adam]

I only saw maybe under five people smoking crack. And I only saw three. What they call it like the fenty fold.

[Blake]

Oh.

[Adam]

I only saw three people mid fenty fold, which is crazy.

[Chloe]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Adam]

It's crazy that you see.

[Chloe]

How's that not well.

[Adam]

It's wild. That heroin people lay down, which seems better.

[Chloe]

Yeah.

[Adam]

But people that are doing fentanyl, which I'm like to do fentanyl seems not.

[Blake]

Like a great life.

[Adam]

This is like the craziest, like the craziest thing you could do because to you tiniest bit of it to you kill you. But they're just folded in half. I saw this guy's whole dirty. Just sky high. He was just like folded right in half. And so that's one of the other photos I took.

[Chloe]

And did you tongue his butt?

[Blake]

Did you tongue his butt? Tongue butt.

[Chloe]

When as soon as you saw a butthole, it was like.

[Blake]

I'm got a tongue.

[Adam]

But so. But those numbers for San Francisco are good balls. Those are good numbers. And. And I walked all over the city and I felt very safe. And Chloe and I actually, after dinner, I think it was Fri. Friday or Saturday night. Saturday night, we walked from our dinner and we're like, ah, it's like a 58 minute walk. How about we walk for 20 minutes, walk off some of this dinner.

[Chloe]

Yeah.

[Adam]

And then call an Uber. But then all of a sudden, we walked like 30, 40 minutes. Kind of forgot to call the Uber. And we're like, okay, let's call the Uber now. We can't get reception. There's no Ubers around.

[Chloe]

Thanks.

[Adam]

And now we have to walk under three different freeways. And I'm like, enclosed. I like, this is how tourists get murdered, right? And I'm like, absolutely. Like, we could get murdered. I have like, I. I'm wearing a nice watch. Chloe has your jewelry on. We weren't expecting to be in these streets like this. And guess what? Didn't see anyone. Didn't see any homeless or unhoused population.

[Chloe]

What happened to bums, Adam?

[Blake]

And. And why at the tailgate, didn't you say, thank you, Gavin Newsom, for cleaning up the city? Thank you.

[Adam]

Because I don't think it was g. I think it was. There's a new mayor, and people are just talking about this mayor in San Francisco like he's a God. Chloe was just at the bar waiting. Like, I was doing some work and she was just waiting for me. She said she heard two different conversations where people out of the Blue were just like, ah, thank God for the new mayor. I'm like, people just love this guy.

[Chloe]

Yeah. And if we knew his name, we would say it.

[Adam]

Yeah. But whatever they did, they. Yeah, I don't know his name.

[Chloe]

They definitely power washed the whole city.

[Adam]

They did something. They did something with these homeless people because. And these drug addicts, because they're normally there and they just straight up weren't.

[Blake]

Yeah.

[Chloe]

Every morning the streets were, like, wet. I think they were, like, going around and just hosing down the city every night.

[Blake]

I mean, they do that. They do that every night. I think they added soap. I think they added. So.

[Chloe]

Jesus.

[Adam]

His name is Daniel Lurie.

[Blake]

Daniel.

[Chloe]

Oh, yeah. No, we knew that.

[Adam]

Yeah. Mayor Daniel Lurie. Big shout out. And I like, people are just going, oh, he's really saving the city. All he's doing is saying, I watched an interview of him going, like, yeah, you're not allowed just to do drugs in broad daylight on this sidewalk anymore. If we see you do that, we will arrest you. And you're like, yeah, that should be just a law wherever.

[Chloe]

Yeah, 100%. Although I will say, walking around drinking in your own neighborhood with a koozie on the can.

[Adam]

And by the way, there's levels to it, because I saw this woman smoking a joint, and I'm like, hey, that's cool. I like, this is the city. You can walk around.

[Chloe]

You go, girl.

[Adam]

Smoking joints.

[Chloe]

You couldn't help but say it.

[Adam]

Yeah. And it's. And it's fine. And if, you know, you see someone just pocketing a beer but keeping it low key, I think that's cool. Now if you see someone fenty folding with their. In the. And all of a sudden you start to lick his butt, then all of a sudden, it's bringing the worst out of you because you're licking butts in the middle of broad daylight. And then he's fenty folding.

[Chloe]

Okay.

[Blake]

And now you got my vote, bud. Congrats. Holy smokes. I like that hard.

[Adam]

I'm going up against hell.

[Blake]

That hard stance from me.

[Chloe]

What happened to brown bagging it?

[Blake]

Brown bagging it.

[Chloe]

Remember brown bagging it? Like, you just drink out of a brown bag.

[Blake]

Like a 40 in a bag or like a tall can.

[Chloe]

Well, I think it can be anything in a brown bag, as long as the bag is brown and it's a bag.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Blake]

The cops got on to us. They didn't know what was in the bag.

[Adam]

Yeah, I think they might. They might have started to figure that one out.

[Blake]

Hey, we should. This could be A break off for Forgotcha, The. The dog prank show, where it's like, you're. You're pranking cops like, you got a brown bag, and then they, like, they take it.

[Chloe]

Oh, here and here it is like, you drink out of, like, this, right? And then you take the bag down, and then it's just a metal finger.

[Blake]

That's kind of cool, man.

[Chloe]

Sorry.

[Blake]

Seems like a fun time to test.

[Chloe]

Authority to our loyal listeners. I. I had my middle finger out and. Can we. Can we broach this. Can we breach. Broach this. This topic?

[Blake]

Breach and broach.

[Adam]

Breach and broach. Do whatever you want.

[Chloe]

I'm on YouTube. Our channel gets suggested to me. I click on our.

[Adam]

Which not. Are we there even there anymore?

[Chloe]

It's just clips and listen, guys, gals, whatnot. I know. It's just a big commercial for, like, nine minutes, and then there's 30 seconds of the clip.

[Blake]

Right.

[Chloe]

I don't love it either.

[Blake]

Right.

[Chloe]

You guys are telling us you want us back on YouTube, and I don't know what to tell you. The world is moving fast. We're. We're just trying to keep up.

[Blake]

Absolutely.

[Adam]

Hey, our. Our favorite corporate overlord. They came calling.

[Blake]

They did.

[Adam]

They came calling.

[Blake]

Team Netflix.

[Chloe]

And I. I guess you could call us sellouts, but, like, this isn't.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Chloe]

This isn't for community service. Although sometimes it feels like it. You're welcome, Blake.

[Adam]

Thank you.

[Blake]

You're welcome. This is.

[Chloe]

This is. This is our job.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Chloe]

And look, maybe we had a mom and pop hardware store, and Ace came knocking, and now it's a Ace hardware store brought to you by yours truly.

[Adam]

By the way, love is. Ace is the place.

[Blake]

That's right.

[Chloe]

Ace is the place. And I feel for you. I know. You wanted to see us on YouTube.

[Blake]

Sure.

[Chloe]

Think if you could subscribe to Netflix, you'd get all sorts of other benefits. You get to watch Wednesday.

[Adam]

I also feel like. Like, Netflix is way better. It's way better. I'm more Team Netflix. I know that's. I know people love YouTube, and I get that.

[Blake]

We love YouTube, but I. I'm still.

[Adam]

I'm still not on. I don't have a YouTube TV. I go on YouTube so infrequently, it's only to figure out if I'm like, I. To look up, what, like, a Zachman curl or something at the gym, where I'm like, what exactly is a. And then I look it up, and you're like, oh, okay.

[Chloe]

Do you fix things around the house ever?

[Blake]

No, no.

[Chloe]

It's great for that if you want to, like, be like, why the. Is the washing machine making this noise?

[Blake]

Yeah.

[Chloe]

If I go on YouTube and it's. It's so much easier than just calling somebody and being like, so that was 200, okay? And the guy just looking at you like a freaking Thunderbird. Yeah, there's some.

[Blake]

There is some content on YouTube. I like, like, you know, like all the Easter eggs and like the newest Marvel movie and all that, like, shout out to screencrush, you know, like, that kind of stuff I have to go to YouTube for. Here's what I'll say. Here's what I'll say that I do miss a little bit, and maybe Netflix will find a way to incorporate it. I like the comments on YouTube. I like building the community.

[Adam]

I like it.

[Blake]

But with that said, hey, just go to our Instagram odimportant and unload the comments there.

[Chloe]

DM Blake.

[Blake]

DM me. Whatever you're saying on YouTube, demon me.

[Adam]

I'm like, we're on Instagram. We're on other things.

[Blake]

Yeah, we're still very free the audio version, but if you want to see these. And oh, boy.

[Chloe]

If you are listening. He's squeezing his nipples.

[Blake]

What are the rules with nudity on Netflix? Can I show my butt?

[Chloe]

There are not. There are none.

[Blake]

None. If you want to see that.

[Adam]

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

[Blake]

What are the rules?

[Chloe]

Wait, dude, why don't. Wait, hang on a second. Hang on a second. Why does your ass look like tits? Your ass looks like a woman's chest.

[Blake]

Why don't you come over and find out? Why don't you thunderstruck me, bitch?

[Brandon Kyle Goodman]

I'm Brandon Kyle Goodman, the host of the Tell Me Something Messy podcast. I wanted to create a safe, comfy place for all of us to talk about sex, relationships, and what it means to be human. And, baby, my fantastic guests are bringing their mess to shame with the class, like singer songwriter Duran Bernard, suggesting we reinstate adult sleepovers with friends.

[Duran Bernard]

Here's the thing. Get a group that's mature enough not to be putting your hand in warm water and tickling you. You know what I'm saying? I mean, granted, I might be doing. But you know, like. And I think it's important for those examples of that, of us just being gentle with one another, because the world and the people in it are finding brand new ways to whip our ass every single day, 1,000%. So the least we could do is make strides to handle each other in a way that is a bit more.

[Blake]

Yeah, with. That's.

[Duran Bernard]

That's with care and a bit more mindful.

[Brandon Kyle Goodman]

Listen to. Tell me something Messy on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

[Adam]

I didn't realize. I thought you had a good ass.

[Chloe]

That was out.

[Blake]

What do you want to see the pro?

[Adam]

That was very.

[Chloe]

Every time Adam wants to just.

[Adam]

No, that's not a good ass. It's like, kind of.

[Chloe]

No, no, no. Stop it.

[Adam]

Well, now you're flexing. Now you're flexing really hard.

[Blake]

What are the rules? Netflix, what are the rules?

[Chloe]

I. I don't know what they were, but they're. We're gonna find out.

[Blake]

Nothing's gonna change. What are the rules? Isaac's text girl can't do that.

[Chloe]

I hope this becomes a clip on YouTube. Yeah, listen, listen, YouTubers, we love you. Yeah, we love.

[Blake]

That's where we started love.

[Adam]

We love the tubes.

[Chloe]

This is the fickle business. This is just a fickle, fickle business we're trying to keep above water.

[Blake]

Yes, I know.

[Chloe]

You can say you hope we drown. I can't drown. I'm really good at swimming. So good that I'll keep my boys with me.

[Adam]

I'll drown. I'll drown.

[Chloe]

I got you.

[Blake]

Thank you, brother. I got you.

[Chloe]

Speaking of drowning, do not jump off the cruise ship.

[Blake]

The cruise is absolutely. Cruises all week away. All week away. Is that right? If this. This comes out. This comes out Tuesday. We're. We're on the boat. Yeah.

[Adam]

Oh, my God.

[Blake]

We're on the boat.

[Adam]

Dude, I am so bloated just from super bowl week.

[Blake]

That's why you gotta do. You gotta cleanse like me. Look at me, dude.

[Chloe]

What are you weighing? What are we doing? I weigh. I weigh 199 right now. It has to stop.

[Adam]

I'm a hundred and eighty nine pounds. That is. That is eleven pounds more than I weighed before leaving for the super bowl.

[Blake]

Guys, I'm 69 dudes. And I'm not kidding. I'm not kidding. And that's pretty good for me.

[Chloe]

Okay.

[Blake]

Yeah, that's pretty good for me.

[Chloe]

What is the point?

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Chloe]

Is it just the number that you're trying to share? No, that's. That's low.

[Adam]

And that's like. That's like pretty skinny. You're like six feet tall. That's like very.

[Blake]

I haven't ate for three days on. I'm starving, dude. I'm starving.

[Adam]

That. Dude, that's just what you do.

[Chloe]

Oh, well, what are we talking about, starving?

[Adam]

Well, we. By the way, a cleanse isn't starving yourself. That's Starvation.

[Blake]

That's what I'm doing.

[Adam]

A cleanse is, like, you, like, you drink certain juices, and you try to cleanse, which, by the way, that's lame. Don't even do that. Just.

[Chloe]

That's also starving.

[Adam]

Just eat food, but eat less of the food that you want to eat.

[Blake]

Well, you know what I'm doing, And this isn't. I know.

[Adam]

It's a.

[Blake]

It's of the pod. I got it for free, but I saw it in the closet, and that's where I was kind of like, I went with the. With the kachaba. You guys got those kachava bags.

[Chloe]

I like it.

[Adam]

Kachava, dude.

[Chloe]

I'm having cachava just about every day, if not every other day.

[Adam]

Now what do you guys do with the kachava? Okay. Because I. I. I put it in this.

[Blake]

Put the water in there, and then I do this.

[Chloe]

She's explaining how we all do how to shake.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Blake]

Yeah. And then I chug it up my butt.

[Adam]

Oh, I think. Okay, so.

[Chloe]

Oh, plot twist.

[Adam]

So I thought it was a shake. I was gonna do it in a nutribullet.

[Chloe]

Oh, yeah.

[Adam]

And a blender and mix it with banana and.

[Blake]

No, you just add water.

[Adam]

Do you add protein powder?

[Blake]

No. I mean, I think you can add whatever you want, but it's a meal replacement.

[Adam]

Oh, is it?

[Chloe]

I thought there was protein.

[Blake]

Meal replacement. I'm using it as my food.

[Chloe]

Sorry. Hand to God. I thought there's protein already in there.

[Blake]

I think there is.

[Chloe]

Didn't you read the bag?

[Blake]

Adam, you gotta. I think you read the ad.

[Adam]

I gotta. Here, I'm gonna go here.

[Chloe]

I think everything you added is in it. Go grab it.

[Blake]

And kochava.

[Chloe]

We're put.

[Blake]

Really putting you on, by the way. Kachava. Dope name.

[Chloe]

Finally, it's just us. Great name. Fun to say, fun to tell people about.

[Blake]

And I. And I realized that this isn't, like, a sponsor for the pod, and I, you know, I hate. But I'm doing it.

[Chloe]

What do you mean? They're trying to be. That's why they sent it, because they want us to.

[Blake]

It's delicious.

[Chloe]

Try it out, and then we can have. By the way, there's nothing worse than doing ads where I'm like, they're great. Hate it. Cachava.

[Blake]

I'm in.

[Chloe]

Would love to do an ad.

[Blake]

Yes.

[Chloe]

Which is kind of what we're doing. That's how they got us. They.

[Blake]

No, they got us.

[Chloe]

Never gonna pay us.

[Blake]

They got us. It's kind of the same way that Twin Peaks Got me by sending me this mouse pad. And now I look at it. That's all it takes every day.

[Adam]

Okay.

[Blake]

Okay. What flavor is that? Because what flavor you got?

[Adam]

So this is, this is matcha and I, I, I have a vanilla one that is the one that I use. But I couldn't find the best.

[Blake]

I like strawberry.

[Chloe]

I got asahi and chocolate.

[Adam]

So here's what I was doing. And this is why, maybe why I'm having a hard time losing weight. I was doing two scoops for 240 calories.

[Chloe]

Yeah, you're supposed to, you're supposed to.

[Adam]

But then I was adding pizza. Then I was adding protein powder which is probably another 250 calories. Then I was adding banana. Then I was adding almond butter.

[Blake]

Right.

[Adam]

So you know, then this went suddenly to like an 800 calorie Adam.

[Blake]

It says meal replacement.

[Chloe]

Yeah.

[Blake]

Like you're not supposed to make it a meal on top of it.

[Chloe]

But I was blending it.

[Blake]

Yeah. No, so like instead of eating lunch, have the shake. Maybe have an apple.

[Chloe]

Apple as well.

[Adam]

But don't an apple.

[Blake]

But don't also add cheese.

[Adam]

Yeah, here's the bummer.

[Chloe]

Here's the bummer. I'll tell Cacaba this. I was reading about it online and apparently they just changed the recipe from coconut milk to oat milk. And everybody says that it used to be better, used to taste better.

[Blake]

I think it tastes fantastic.

[Chloe]

I do too. But next time you try it, it do you taste the oatness. I love that taste when I burp after using it.

[Adam]

Well, maybe you go and you get on ebay. Blake can do it for us here we get the old bags, we find them old bags. Someone that bought a ton, now they.

[Chloe]

Have some of that crystal Pepsi, a couple choco tacos.

[Blake]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's your guys favorite dairy alternative? Because I like oat milk. I think the flavor of oat milk is delightful.

[Chloe]

I don't believe in them. What?

[Blake]

Why?

[Adam]

I'll drink an almond milk every once in a while, but I also don't drink milk. Really? I'm an adult man. I drink whiskey.

[Blake]

Sure. I guess. I'm talking about when you get like a coffee.

[Chloe]

We forgot Adam.

[Blake]

With, with, with the dairy.

[Chloe]

Go cut trees.

[Blake]

See you when you get like a coffee with dairy in it, which I don't always do, but when I do, I don't. If I, if I have a latte tooth, I don't you. Okay, but go ahead.

[Adam]

Well, you said when you. And I'm. And you're putting that on me as If I'm a. I'm like, do you get almond or.

[Blake]

Oh, because I get oat, and I think it t. Tastes delightful. I like the taste of it. I will say, if you use oat milk to make macaroni and cheese, it's up. It's not good. It's bad. It's actively bad.

[Chloe]

So you have standards.

[Blake]

Okay.

[Adam]

Okay.

[Blake]

That shit's important.

[Chloe]

Can we move on?

[Blake]

Next.

[Chloe]

Next.

[Adam]

My parents are in town. My parents are. Guess what, Living with me indefinitely.

[Chloe]

Okay?

[Adam]

And they just got. They were in town taking care of my son when I got there, back from. From the Super Bowl. And it's awesome having them here, but they want to eat so much food.

[Blake]

Oh, yeah.

[Adam]

All the time. Oh, yeah.

[Chloe]

Give them a cachaba. Hit him with some kachaba.

[Adam]

Like, every meal is, like. It is an event. When I'm just like, I don't want to eat until the goddamn cruise because I am morbidly obese. I feel like a melted candle.

[Chloe]

Do you guys think the food's gonna be good? Food on the cruise gonna be good?

[Adam]

Oh, yeah, I think so. I think it. I think it is good.

[Chloe]

Good, good.

[Adam]

And, yeah, there's a ton of different options, too.

[Blake]

Well, do you think that that is just because, you know, they're just kind of getting. Right. They just moved in, right?

[Adam]

My parents. Yes.

[Blake]

Every meal can't be a event for the rest of our lives.

[Adam]

When I. When I wake up. When I wake up, first thing my mom asked, what do you want for dinner? It's like 7am And I'm like, what?

[Chloe]

Well, she's going to the grocery store, right?

[Blake]

She's.

[Adam]

She's.

[Chloe]

She's keeping it fresh.

[Adam]

Exactly. But she goes every day, I'm like, why don't we get a bunch of groceries, and then throughout the week, we can just make stuff? And she's like, no, this is. I think it's a thing for her to do. Which I'm like, okay. But I'm also like, let's. Let's plan this dinner around, like, 4pm here's my question.

[Chloe]

Here's my question, Adam, if you. Are you in the world where you can say, hey, mom, surprise me, or are you too much of that control freak? Where you're like, I need it to be something in my wheelhouse.

[Adam]

No, I could, but also, like, I don't want to eat lasagna every night.

[Chloe]

What?

[Adam]

You know what I mean?

[Blake]

News flash, Garfield. What?

[Chloe]

And you think that. You think that would happen?

[Adam]

Yes, And I don't want her to make lasagna and then now I'm like, got it. I have the tiniest bit of lasagna or whatever, and it's a bit of a thing, right?

[Chloe]

You think you'd have a tiny bit of lasagna. Got it.

[Adam]

Yeah. We live so close to the best Mexican restaurants.

[Chloe]

Yeah.

[Adam]

In. On the planet. Like the. On my little peninsula, there's like five fantastic, great, authentic Mexican hungry food spots. And my mom goes, I know what I'm gonna make tonight. And I'm like, what's that?

[Blake]

And.

[Adam]

And she's like, it's my special.

[Blake]

I was like, white, White woman. I'm like, enchiladas white Omaha.

[Adam]

Yeah, Like.

[Blake]

Like.

[Adam]

But it was like first night, so I'm like, okay.

[Chloe]

With extra paprika.

[Adam]

And they were objecting Mrs.

[Chloe]

Dash in there.

[Adam]

They were.

[Blake]

Oh, yeah. You know, dude.

[Chloe]

Yeah.

[Blake]

I grew up. I grew up in an Iowan household with a mom making. Attempting to make Mexican food. And yeah.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Blake]

The green gringo Mexican food is on another level.

[Adam]

My. My other. My mom's other dishes are. Are perfectly good.

[Blake]

They're. They're good.

[Adam]

Yeah. The opening night, like, I'm gonna knock their socks off with these fajitas. I was.

[Blake]

Does your mom put hella black olives in all her Mexican food? I feel like white people overcompensate with, like, lots of black olives in their Mexican food.

[Chloe]

Is that.

[Blake]

Is that off base?

[Adam]

No, no, no, no.

[Chloe]

And we'll leave that there. Is that off base? That's how you feel about the whites? Got it. We just had the. What's the, like, El Paso brand back in the day?

[Blake]

I think it's El Paso, where it's.

[Chloe]

Like, you just picked up the mix that went in with the meat.

[Adam]

I think that's right.

[Blake]

You didn't go Lowry's.

[Adam]

Hey, that's exactly what we did.

[Chloe]

And hard shell taco from elpa. Like, you just. And you just lined up the buffet.

[Adam]

We had mission. We had Mission tortillas.

[Chloe]

Yeah. Shout out.

[Adam]

We fancy Shout out.

[Blake]

I still do that. I still do that. I'm liking. I'll throw a dad's taco night where I'll do, like, the taco bars on me.

[Chloe]

We do. We do Taco Tuesday.

[Blake]

Yeah. Well, I should do it every Tuesday.

[Chloe]

It's just easy.

[Adam]

See, to me, I'm like, I understand. It's easy, it's fun, but we're incapable of doing it. Well, bro, when there is. When there is three blocks away, just get black olives. You could go buy 10 tacos for the family or Whatever. And you just bring it home and they're the best tacos you've ever had.

[Blake]

No, no, but, yeah, but you kind of want to have the shitty tacos at home so that when you have the good tacos, you go like, whoa, dude. And then later in life you go, don't you ever think back? And you're like, damn, I miss my mom's shitty ass taco. No, see, sometimes I do.

[Adam]

I don't.

[Chloe]

Sometimes I dream do shitty tacos.

[Blake]

Sometimes I miss that. That shitty ass taco.

[Chloe]

Yeah, I know. There is a nostalgic. As soon as you bite into that meat with that El Paso, like, you go. It's like having a. A Big Mac. It's never changed. It's always tasted the same.

[Blake]

Yeah.

[Chloe]

And I don't want one.

[Adam]

Dude. I had McDonald's for the first time in months. Years. The cause of diarrhea in years.

[Chloe]

Yeah.

[Adam]

And maybe a couple months ago now.

[Blake]

Now.

[Adam]

But it tasted so delicious. Like, scientifically delicious. It's gotten a little better that I was just like, this is it. It looked like it didn't particularly smell that good. And then I ate it and I was like this. I was taking the tiniest bites because I didn't want it to end. I got like one cheeseburger because I didn't want to be a fat. And then I'm like eating it so slowly and yeah. Oh, it was so good, dude. McDonald's, they know.

[Chloe]

I will say I went for years not having it also. And then I was driving from here to Oregon and I was making a stop and it was late and the only place open was McDonald's. And I'm like, who gives a fuck? Go for it. But I. But I always will. Probably pick a different option. If there's a stop or something, I go in. It's never Subway. I get the chicken sandwich. Like, spicy chicken sandwich.

[Blake]

Go off king.

[Adam]

I bet it's better.

[Chloe]

It's late. No one's really there. It's made for me, right?

[Adam]

Freshy. A freshie.

[Chloe]

Fresh. Unbelievably great. So good.

[Blake]

When. When fast food really dries the out of my mouth. Oh, you gotta do that. That's part of it.

[Adam]

Chloe gets McDonald's once a week, at least maybe twice a week. That's just herself.

[Chloe]

She'll just like, keep her.

[Adam]

She'll hit me up and be like, hey, are we eating dinner together? And I'm like, no, I'm just eating a 9,000-calorie cachava.

[Chloe]

Right. What flavor is it?

[Adam]

I'm just up kachava.

[Blake]

What flavor kachava do you have? Meat lovers. It's all good. I put a slim Jim in there. Nothing.

[Adam]

And then she'll. She'll sneaky. Go eat some McDonald's.

[Chloe]

She. What's her order? She getting a McFish or whatever they call it.

[Blake]

Oh, I know.

[Adam]

She gets a double. She gets a two. Two cheeseburgers. Oh, the cheat. Two cheeseburgers.

[Chloe]

That used to be a number two, and now it's like a number 60. It's somewhere. It got pushed. Got pushed down the Super Bowl.

[Blake]

60, 69, dudes.

[Chloe]

But what a bummer for that meal. That was a two forever because it's two cheeseburgers. And they were like, we're done here.

[Blake]

Number two. Yeah, number two. Number two. Just ketchup. That was my youthful order.

[Chloe]

Now I. Blake, what did you eat.

[Blake]

For the super bowl at my home, wherever you were? Cachoba, bro.

[Adam]

Jesus.

[Blake]

Cachoba.

[Adam]

Is that right? You ate cachoba? You haven't eaten any solid foods for three days.

[Chloe]

You have cachaba for the Super Bowl.

[Adam]

You're watching the super bowl at home on the couch, crouch, and you're eating cachava.

[Blake]

I told you, I'm going into detox mode. I'm going.

[Chloe]

Why wouldn't you go to detox the.

[Adam]

Day after if that's the case? You have to be the face of kachava.

[Blake]

Yeah, Young kachava. I like that.

[Chloe]

Because. Did you see on this daily show, they asked RFK what he would have. He's like, well, you know, I only eat meat and, like, live cultures, so I'm humans. I would eat. I ate yogurt. He was like, what? What?

[Blake]

I like that you ate yogurt. No, we had, we had a few people over and I, My, My daughter made deviled eggs, so I did have that. I had to, I had to support that.

[Adam]

Nice. Awesome.

[Chloe]

Good job.

[Adam]

How were they?

[Blake]

Delicious.

[Adam]

How were they? And she.

[Blake]

They were a hit.

[Chloe]

She won't hear it.

[Adam]

She won't hear it.

[Chloe]

She's a fan.

[Blake]

They were a hit. They were a hit.

[Adam]

Okay.

[Blake]

They were creamy and delicious. Yeah, some. I had a couple chicken wings as well.

[Chloe]

Yes.

[Blake]

Chicken wings and eggs.

[Chloe]

What the. Wait, so you weren't.

[Blake]

Okay, look.

[Chloe]

So the whole thing about the kachab was a joke or you had both.

[Blake]

I had cachaba the next morning. You guys are right. I, I, I did pace myself.

[Chloe]

Wait, all right.

[Blake]

I didn't hit the ground. Kachaba.

[Chloe]

So. Cuz sometimes we're trying not to jump on you and now you're, like, inviting him.

[Blake]

I'm lying.

[Chloe]

You like it.

[Adam]

Now you're lying. Now you're just straight lying to us.

[Blake]

Hey, she thunderstruck me.

[Chloe]

That's what I do.

[Adam]

Are there any. Are there any take backs, any apologies? Any epic slams here?

[Blake]

You know what? Right out of the gate, I do want to apologize. Not to you bozos, but to anybody who saw me out and about or at the parties at the Super Bowl. And my. And I know my social battery was waning. It was low. It was low. And I.

[Adam]

You were in the DJ booth. You, like, climbed up the side of the wall, like, yelling at the dj.

[Blake]

Yeah.

[Chloe]

What are we talking about?

[Blake]

That's my friend Micah Noodles. She's a great DJ from the Bay Area.

[Adam]

Okay. But it seemed like your battery was.

[Blake]

That was night two, so I still had a little B battery left, but that might have been one too. The Kachaba is really messing with my vocal cords. No, dude, honestly, if you saw me and I didn't have that. That star studded Blake Anderson energy that you're used to that. It's my bad. I apologize. My. My social battery was very low. That's why I had to escape to Concord. I'd be with my mother.

[Adam]

Yeah, I'll say. My social battery was. Was low too. Last minute, last minute.

[Blake]

I got.

[Adam]

I. We got into the box and we had two extra tickets, and Blake had stuck around town, and I was like, hey, Blake, maybe do you want to take these tickets? Maybe you and your brother or you and a friend? And he says, no, I'm a no.

[Blake]

You.

[Adam]

Then you. You. You said you were taking back off to him.

[Blake]

Yes, I had already. I had already told my family that I was gonna attend our super bowl party at home, and they were very excited by that, and I didn't want to go. Actually, I'm rescinding that.

[Adam]

So please, like, I get that.

[Blake]

I went. I went with. I went the family route.

[Adam]

That is very kind. Thank you.

[Blake]

Thank you.

[Chloe]

I think I have a take back. I, I. Guys, I don't. I can't remember anything we talk about on these things.

[Adam]

Me neither.

[Chloe]

And maybe I should start writing it down.

[Blake]

Down. Did that. I take notes.

[Chloe]

Do you really?

[Blake]

No. I'm lying.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Chloe]

All right, here's one. Here's a note for you. But yeah, I just want to say shout out to our YouTubers. Look, man, we're sorry you're not along for the ride. We love you. Also, how I'm on YouTube with you. I feel gross watching the super long commercials. With the little itty bitty tag on the end. But also, that's just the squirrel. That's just the squirrel we live in. If.

[Adam]

Oh, is that what happens? I don't watch stuff. I don't.

[Chloe]

It's like a long ass commercial and then like a. At the end of you being like, dude, Thunderbot. And it's like, dun dun with the fucking thing.

[Adam]

Oh, is that right? Ah, that does well.

[Chloe]

So we're thinking about.

[Blake]

We're thinking about anybody on YouTube. You should already have Netflix because you're watching Game over, man. You're watching the Outlaws. You're watching season two, episode one of Is It Cake?

[Chloe]

Oh, so you took my apology and you're turning it into a call out.

[Blake]

I am. I'm calling you out.

[Chloe]

Got it. Got it.

[Adam]

And Blake, I would like to. I would like to apologize maybe once again to the Marriott people. The. The people that hired me for Marriott, where I came with two hours of sleep. Totally butchered this song. Made up my own lyrics. Sold it, though. I sold it.

[Chloe]

Don't apologize, Adam. Don't do it.

[Blake]

I.

[Adam]

So I sold it. No, I really wanted to nail it. I have, you know. You know me. That's. That's where I sh. Shine. I shine in those song and dance moments. And I. And I feel like my. My light was dimmed that day. I was on two hours of sleep and I just couldn't. Didn't pull it off.

[Chloe]

But here's my question. Don't you want them to just think you are worse than you are instead of. You didn't bring it. Bring it.

[Blake]

We want the bounce back.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Chloe]

Now I feel like there's an admission that they're like, oh, I didn't mean to.

[Adam]

It was the lack of sleep. It was the lack of sleep.

[Blake]

Sure. Of course.

[Adam]

And. And by the way, I sold it. And then the hosting of it, the stuff that I had to do. Yeah, I nailed that. It was just the song that I didn't. That I didn't. Did good. And then the. And then the. The party that I hosted and then brought up the All American Rejects. Yeah, did great with that too. It was just the song. And I. I would like to apologize to my ladies over at Marriott. You know who you are.

[Chloe]

There you go. Weird way to end it.

[Blake]

See it. Another episode.

[Chloe]

Like Shout out to the ladies of Mary.

[Blake]

Dude, the.

[Adam]

The lady that you didn't end with. Thunderstruck is.

[Blake]

That's such. Sorry.

[Adam]

That's insane.

[Chloe]

Run it back. Run it back. We're still on. We're still on. We can still.

[Blake]

We can do anything. Hey, and I take back that ending. Wait, no, not quite, dude.

[Adam]

The fact that you didn't end on thunderstruck. I was like, wait, wait. And, dude, I even sang suck my butt at the tail end.

[Chloe]

The ladies of Marriott, line them up. We want to say apologies one by one.

[Blake]

Well, we can't.

[Adam]

Such a long intro. Yeah, we can't afford to. Later, guys. All right, bye. We're partnering with Simple Mills. And so the other day, I got a box of Simple Mills almond flour crackers. Minding my own business went out of nowhere. Blake says, what's up? That's your snack, boy. I was like, what was that about?

[Blake]

What?

[Adam]

Simple Mills almond flour crackers are made with almond flour, sunflower seeds, and flax seeds, come in a bunch of my favorite flavors, and taste like sunshine in every bite. He's trying not to laugh. I'm like, stop cracker shaming me, bro.

[Blake]

Hey, come on, man. You know I was just having some fun with you, dude. I love a good Simple Meal snack as much as you do, but I.

[Adam]
