We're on dry land, baby.

Oh, my God, Blake. I'll say I was. I was telling you off pod a second ago, but you were really the MVP of that cruise ship. You really were.

[A]

Oh, my gosh. It. It took a lot out of me. It took a lot out of me. It was a blast, though. My God. Have you guys fully recovered from the cruise we went on?

[C]

Like, fully.

[A]

How. How long ago? Fully seven, ten days.

[B]

Yeah, I have.

[C]

Yeah, I think we're at about seven or 10 days.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah, yeah. It took four days, I would say, for me to feel like a real human again.

[B]

Real.

[C]

Because we're. We're old now, right? We're in our 40s.

[A]

Yes. Yes.

[C]

We're no longer young men.

[B]

Damn near 50.

[C]

And I don't drink the way I'm such a. I don't drink the way I used to. And it really. It put me on my heels. A little bit.

[B]

And if you're just listening.

[A]

Adam.

[B]

Adam's crying.

[C]

Right. Those hangovers, it's a moment, but you had to start. Start right back up. That was the trick. That was the trick.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. It's the trick of the prus.

[B]

I didn't have a hangover as much as I had, like, two mornings where I was like, hey, man, you're still drunk.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We had to ride the line. Well, I did. I did the. The. The IV for the first time. I did not like it. I did not like it.

[B]

Yeah. I skipped. I skipped.

[C]

See, this is the crazy part is. And I did not partake because I knew that was a no no zone.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And I wasn't feeling well, admittedly, I wasn't feeling well to start the cruise. We landed in Tampa, and I was like, I'm just gonna chill. You know, I've got my whole family's living with me right now. My parents are living with me, my. Obviously my wife and my son. So it's just a lot happening over here.

[A]

Obvious.

[C]

I guess it's not, but. So I just took the night to myself.

[A]

You did.

[C]

I laid in bed. I watched. I watched a film.

[B]

Red Scripture.

[C]

I didn't read any scripture, unfortunately. But then you got to read your scripture. And then you guys went out in Tampa and had a full on shots. No.

[A]

Yes. What was the. What was the town? We were in Tampa.

[B]

No, no, no, no. There's a neighborhood called, like,

[A]

Y. Y,

[B]

but it is with a Y.

[A]

Yes, it is. Is it eor or that's what throws you? I think it's eor.

[B]

People are saying eor. And here's why. We went there after going to dinner, which was great, and really already kind of getting things kick started. And then somebody had a local friend who was like, well, you could go to Ybor, but definitely don't be there after one. And we're like, all right, well, we're going there. We're going. Yeah. Somebody help me.

[C]

Chapter one.

[B]

And I think we were there till 3 or 2:30 or something like that.

[A]

Oh, yeah, there's.

[C]

I was so impressed because our pickup wasn't until noon.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

To get on the ship. So you guys. You guys had plenty of time to recover, cover.

[A]

Oh, it was awesome. I'm so glad we went there. It was a wild bar. Yeah, Wild bar.

[B]

Don't really. The revolution, the revolt. What was it called?

[A]

It was like cha cha 2000.

[B]

Explain. Cha cha 2000. Okay.

[C]

Explain what that means and explain what the vibes were. I heard A lot of talk about how it was basically the French Quarter in New Orleans.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

Very similar. We were on our Shia for sure.

[C]

And it's all like pirate themed. Right?

[B]

Meets Vegas. Meets Vegas, I would say, because people were like actually dressed up. Whereas, like New Orleans people look like they might have just crawled out of the bayou.

[A]

The sewer.

[B]

So it's like that mentality with just like a little bit more intense still. Florida elevated.

[A]

Yeah, elevated. It's like, it's like Miami drainage. It was cool, dude. Like there's lines for clubs and stuff, right?

[C]

And were you guys, did. Were you guys like, hey, what's up? Let me in the club. And they're like, you're old now. You can't come in this club.

[B]

No. You didn't go to the place that had the lines. Although these lines were a little scary for me. Women were. Women were naked.

[A]

Oh. What? Oh, scantily, like lad.

[B]

I don't know how. How you describe. There's a woman in line.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Wearing like, I. I don't know if you call it like lace or what do you call? Fishnet? Fishnet.

[A]

Right, Fishnet. I just want to purse.

[B]

But the kind of fishnet, full bodied fishnet suit. But the kind of fishnet suit that is like chain link fence. Open.

[A]

Yes, yes. You know what I'm saying? It looked like.

[C]

Okay, yeah, you could see her and her butthole.

[B]

So she was wearing just that and then a like string thong and okay. Pasty pasties up front of trash. And she's just standing in line and

[A]

I'm like, you know, I didn't. I didn'. I didn't look. I saw her from the back standing in line.

[B]

She should just go in. It's cold out. Let her in, please, sir.

[A]

Did you look over the shoulder to see the front. The front of it as well?

[B]

You can't do that. You can't do that. But I didn't see a back strap, so I assume it was pasties.

[A]

It's got to be okay.

[C]

I. Real detective work feel like if she's dressed like that, you can, you can.

[A]

Yeah, sure, sure.

[C]

She's not being. She's not dressing like that and she doesn't want people to look at her.

[B]

Are you. I don't know.

[C]

I think these are.

[A]

I don't know. I think this is. Yeah, this is. This is an age old.

[C]

I think this is. Yeah, this is why we. This is why we have this podcast. If you're dressed like that, you want people to look at you.

[B]

Well, maybe, maybe she's Just into style. She's into fashion.

[C]

Do you think that's fashionable?

[A]

If you go. If you go to a nude bar, are you going there for people to look at your dick? Or are you going there because that's where you actually feel free of societal norms?

[B]

You know what?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

These are the questions, I guess.

[C]

But this wasn't a nude bar. Right. This was a clothed bar, and she was coming in new.

[B]

This was a clothed. A clothed.

[C]

A bar.

[A]

It was a club. It was a club.

[C]

Okay. It was a clothes bar.

[A]

I think most people had. Had clothes.

[C]

Yes. So I feel if you're dressed like that, like, if a guy is just. If he's there with a Borat thong, he's. He wants people to. To look at him and be like, oh, my God, that guy's wearing a Borat farm.

[B]

You don't think that's a norm?

[A]

Yeah, that feels like a society. Like at some point we determined that dudes have to wear just trunks as swimsuits, but maybe it should be more accepted that we wear Borat thongs.

[B]

Right, right, right, right.

[C]

I'm not opposed to. I'm not opposed to. And I'm also not opposed to all women wearing these chain link fence fishnet outfit. That.

[B]

That feeling.

[C]

If that's where society goes, I'm all for it. Doesn't seem like that's where society's going.

[B]

In fact, no, that's where Tampa's going.

[C]

That's where Tampa's going.

[A]

That's why Tampa, dude.

[B]

And so then I do think. I. I do think, you know, turning around is one thing. I think it's got you maybe even have to make it more involved where you turn around and you go, renee. And then she looks up and you go, sorry, I thought you were somebody I work with. Enjoy. Enjoy your night.

[C]

I work with is so funny because

[B]

you assume, like, you want her to feel like normal. She's got a job and she's normal, but really she's out there flapping cheeks, you know, because. And maybe I'm wrong, May. Trying to buck societal norm.

[C]

I think maybe that was her job.

[A]

Oh, you think she was like a cage dancer?

[C]

I don't know if a cage dancer as much as a prostitute.

[A]

Woman of the night.

[B]

I figured she wouldn't have been in line if she was hooking.

[A]

No, no, she wasn't.

[C]

Where they just let the hookers in. I feel like the hookers got to stand in line like everyone else.

[A]

I just want to party.

[B]

No, the hookers are out and walking and they pull guys out of line. They're like, don't go in there.

[C]

Come over here. You might be true, but you don't know. Maybe she. Maybe she was talking $. Maybe talking to a guy in line, and that's what she was doing in the line. We don't know.

[B]

You know what?

[A]

We should have. We should have talked to Renee.

[B]

Renee.

[A]

Why didn't we talk to Renee?

[B]

And by the way, it's got to be a name like that. It's got to be a name like that.

[A]

Renee.

[C]

Isn't that what the Channel 5 guy did from. In New Orleans? Wasn't that his thing before doing Channel 5 news, whatever that is, Just approaching people. Yeah, he just did the Shia LaBeouf interview. He. He did the. The Marty Gr. French Quarter. It was French Quarter confession.

[A]

He was all gas, no breaks. Yeah, he used to be like, all gas, no breaks. That was like his original. His original channel.

[B]

And then he started doing deep, deeper dives.

[C]

Oh, I thought he was Mardi Gras or French Quarter Confessions. I thought that was the same guy.

[A]

Yeah, maybe.

[C]

I don't know. I don't know.

[B]

Maybe our producers can toss us some info in the chat. But he also would go to, like, crack houses or he would, like, go on, like, ride alongs with gangs and. Which was kind of cool.

[A]

That's kind of cool. We should. We should pivot that.

[C]

Yeah, it's Quarter Confessions, a YouTube series created by Andrew Callaghan during his time as student at Leola University.

[B]

Don't you marry him?

Had to set the. Had to set the tone. Had to set the tone. Punk rock getting radical.

[C]

And then it was full steam ahead. Then we were on the ship. And I will say thank you to our fans who are the greatest. I cannot believe the support and how cool people were and. Because it could have been a nightmare, right?

[A]

Oh, absolutely.

[C]

I've talked to other comedian friends, and they're like, so you're gonna go on a ship with like 2, 000 of your biggest fans.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

As a light matter.

[A]

Well, like you say light to people. Oh, right.

[B]

Not a necklace.

[C]

Adam, what is it?

[A]

It is a belly chain. It is a belly chain.

[B]

You're supposed to be wearing that around your belly, bro.

[A]

Yeah, you're supposed to have that right on your hips.

[C]

What?

[B]

Yeah, but. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You got those hips don't lie. But show the came. What is. I've been wearing off.

My wife hates it because every night when we go to like watch TV as a family, my parents are staying with us now I say I got to put on my TV chain. And then I put this.

[A]

But it's a bagel.

[C]

So there's a. There's a penis with a penis. Like a ring.

[A]

You're calling it your TV chain?

[C]

Yeah, I kind of.

[B]

Does it have a ring?

[C]

Yeah, I think it's a. Yeah, it's on the back of it and it goes.

[A]

Oh, I didn't know that.

[A]

There was people from all over the place. There were people from Argentina, Australia, London. A.

[C]

A lot of Australians. Several packs Of Australians.

[B]

Scotland.

[A]

There's some Scottish people.

[B]

Or Ireland. Either. Scotland. Hey. And don't. I don't want to get between it, but it was either Scotland or island.

[C]

I don't know. Some. Some people from Omaha, so.

[A]

Yeah, from Omaha. From Omaha. Of course. Omaha, Atlanta, Omaha.

[C]

I didn't see anyone from Conor, just.

[A]

No, there were definitely some 925R. I don't think they were from Concord. I think they were from Antioch. That's close enough. Enough. That's close enough.

[C]

It's not.

[B]

You know what Concord is so far from Tampa. It's.

[A]

There were people from Concord, but not Concord, California. I think they were from Concord. M. New Hampshire.

[C]

That doesn't count. Even at all. Yeah. So that doesn't. That's not.

[A]

We're sister cities.

[C]

I guess so. Yeah. And then what. What would you guys say. What would you guys say is your favorite part of the cruise?

[B]

I did have fun. I hosted two things or co hosted with some other comedians. I did.

[A]

Oh, God.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I went over to the Beer Mile. There's like a track on the. On the boat.

[A]

Oh, the Tour de Franzia.

[C]

Tour de Franzia?

[B]

Yeah, Tour de Franzia. They did a Tour de Franzia, AKA Beer Mile. That wasn't beer's wine because it's Tour de Franzia. People had to run, I think, three or four laps, whatever added up to a mile, and slam a glass of wine or a cup of wine every time. So, like, slam it. Run your first. This one dude who won it was hauling ass. Beautiful body.

[C]

Okay, okay.

[B]

And. But then. And then the guy who got second pretty far behind him, but I think the guy who won threw up later.

[A]

Perfect.

[B]

So I just want us to be clear about this. That disqualifies him. Oh, he's the dude who got second. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you vomit, you're.

[C]

Why is that the case?

[A]

No, I like that rule, actually.

[B]

What do you mean?

[A]

If you can vomit, you can just be vomiting the whole time.

[B]

You didn't keep it down. You didn't keep it down that you might as well not run the Mile also. You gotta drink it and keep it down and then you win.

[C]

For.

[B]

For seven days.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And I'm just. I'm just looking it up on IOC rules, but that was great. And then also the belly flop contest.

[C]

The belly flop contest. I missed. I said I was gonna go to it, and then I missed. Dude. Fucking fool.

[B]

It went from, like. It went from, like, people with just amazing talent to a few guys and gals jumping in feet first for some reason.

[C]

Yeah. Just to say they.

[B]

They were there where everyone watching is like, stop.

[A]

They did the pencil.

[B]

What like holding their nose.

[C]

See, what I. What I used to pride myself on in my youth was my ability to belly flop off very high platforms. I could belly flop off a roof into a pool. I could belly flop off the high dive over and over. I would do a flip and then belly flop. So you really whack into it. Sure, yeah, yeah. And it was painful, but it was, it was worth it. But this was just. You're jumping off the side of the pool essentially. There wasn't a real platform there.

[A]

There.

[B]

I think like, you know, legally or whatever, they couldn't really do anything crazy. Cuz there was a kill themselves. There was like a balcony above that

[A]

would have been sick.

[B]

And they were told like, no flipping, no like whatevering kind of weak. You just had to jump up. But this one dude, big guy, also big guy, had hops, got up and then just came down super hard.

[A]

I think I.

[B]

Very impressive.

[C]

Did he win?

[B]

He won. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

I think I saw the photo of him. It's like actually an epic photo. Like his form is insane. Saying it's like Olympic look.

[B]

It's crazy.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And I feel like in order to win a belly flop competition, you gotta

[A]

be a big guy. You do, you have to have.

[B]

No, no, no. So this was a. This was a big guy. This was not an obese. Plenty of them. Plenty of big old boys is what I call those.

[A]

Sure.

[C]

Yeah, they're big old boys.

[B]

Not big man.

[C]

They're big old boys.

[B]

We know the difference. Boss hogs.

[A]

Who was the arm wrestling champion? What was his name again? Do you remember?

[B]

[A]

He had a really cool name, Declan or something.

[B]

[C]

I played blackjack with Gage. Gage was the man.

[A]

[C]

This is gay. Everyone else is like, I'm not gonna Get a laptop station right here. And it's for Gauge.

[B]

Yeah. That's a real name. That's a real name. Pet cemetery.

[A]

I've never met a Gauge in my life.

[C]

The best, the best thing. Oh, by the way, this pen is from the Haven. That was our little zone. Our little kick it zone.

Attention fans of Jury Duty. The groundbreaking word of mouth phenomenon is back for season two. And yes, it's still heartfelt, still hilarious, and still a celebration of everyday heroes. Just with significantly more mountains and questionable

[C]

team building, this season takes the social experiment out of the courthouse and drops it into the hills above Malibu for an annual company retreat. You know, trust falls, icebreakers, and the kind of corporate bonding that absolutely no one asked for.

[B]

The twist. Everybody but the new guy is an actor and the company he thinks he's helping. Totally fake premium nonsense. Introducing Rockin Grandma's hot Sauce, a fictional family business with everything on the line. Legacy, strategy, and whether the intern survives a trust fall gone wrong.

[A]

The stakes are higher, the laughs are bigger, and the awkwardness is chef's kiss. But here's the spicy curveball. The hot sauce might be fictional, but the product is real. Like, actually real. Fans can grab all four flavors. Hot, sweet, smoky, and jerk on Amazon, because why not?

[C]

I want to. That sounds delicious. I love a hot sauce. Watch. Jury Duty presents Company Retreat, now streaming on Prime Video.

[A]

We had so many funny comedians on this on the ship.

[B]

Dude, go through them.

[A]

Nick Swartz and Bobby Lee. John Gates Gabris.

Yes.

[B]

I did some music.

[C]

Reggie Watts. It was sick, dude.

[A]

Reggie Watts. Dude, that. What a cool late addition, dude. He absolutely killed it, man.

[C]

It was so cool for me because those were all my homies when I kind of first started, like, Nick Swartzen, he was already very famous when I started working at the comedy clubs, when I was at the Hollywood Improv when I was 20 years old in 2004. And he was already a huge success.

[B]

Right.

[C]

And Grandma's Boy, I think came out with a couple years later. And I was there when Grandma's Boy was coming out. And I'm like, this guy's a student bud. And he was always so nice and always just such a good.

[A]

He's the best.

[C]

He's a great. And he. And he still is. And Bobby Lee, I've known for 20 something.

[B]

Everybody was.

[C]

And he's.

[B]

Everybody was cool. Sam J. Super cool.

[C]

Sam J.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Sam J. Bro. Down with your mom. Your mom.

[A]

Your parents.

[C]

Your parents were there.

[B]

Your mom did a type 5.

[A]

She really did.

[C]

My parents both were chugging Jagermeister, which was crazy.

[A]

That shit's important.

[B]

Your mom's tagline kept being like, don't touch the picture. Poof. That would be.

[C]

That would be her.

[B]

I said, you better kick the. Just keep those burgers cooking. And don't touch the poo.

[C]

Don't touch the poo.

[A]

Give her an accent trip, dude.

[C]

I would say the. I did not expect to get emotional at all.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

But I got truly misty eyed when we were in the theater watching. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Office Camp. Out. Out. And there's the theaters behind us. And there's, you know, the theater was packed.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And it's us just doing commentary over the episodes. Yeah. And everyone's cheering every time a new character is introduced. And it was. It's truly incredible what that show meant to people. And yeah, it sent me, dude.

[B]

I was like, I can't wait for my parents to watch it.

[C]

They're not going to, dude.

[A]

They're gonna. They're gonna love.

[B]

I think as soon as they do, they'll be like, oh, cool. Nice.

[A]

We'll do it live.

[C]

Oh, okay.

[A]

That was surreal, though. I haven't watched those episodes in so long. Like, it's. It's crazy.

[C]

And they had it on. I don't know if you turned on your televisions in your room, but they had them on. Just 24. Seven streaming. The first. The first two EP seasons were just streamed over and over and over.

[B]

Perfect. Perfect casting.

[C]

Perfect.

[B]

Absolutely perfect cast.

[C]

Dude. And it's so great that, like, Jet and Wayman and Home Girl and like, a lot of our background talents who then we gave lines to and made stars.

[A]

Yes.

[C]

Were there from the jump. It was so cool.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[C]

All right.

[B]

I mean, was Bill our only late addition? I know Bill came on as an actor, not a. Not necessarily a background actor, but Bill was kind of like.

[C]

But that wasn't that late. That was still season one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

But he. I don't think he was there since John Waymond is the only person who

[C]

was there since, like, dude, he was

[B]

in Way Way Wayman OG Videos.

[C]

Was in the old videos back in the day. The. The fifth year videos that we made that then sort of became the cur. The colonel that became workaholics.

[A]

Yeah, we. We found him on Craigslist for like 50 bucks, and he rode with us until the freaking wheels fell off.

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

RIP Wayman.

[C]

Rip.

[A]

He would have blazer highlights.

[B]

Highlight. You know what was it? Adam crying or.

[A]

Yeah, I was watching Adam cry while he ate a cheeseburger in front of everybody while we watched.

[B]

God, they were like, here's cheeseburgers.

[C]

And I was like, I was so hungry. I hadn't got to eat today because it was hard because you just had to do all the time. We did. We were, you know, different events to go to. We were.

[A]

We were busy boys.

[C]

We were busy boys.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And I did have a chance to eat anything. And I was like, can I just get a cheeseburger? And it was so delicious.

[A]

It hit the spot, huh?

[C]

And brother, we were in the front row. Who care? It was dark. I was just eating pound of cheeseburger. Cheeseburger.

[B]

No biggie. No big deal. All right. Hey, take it easy.

[A]

No big deal.

[C]

Just pounded a cheeseburger. Blake was embarrassed. He doesn't like to eat them in front of people.

[A]

I h. I handed mine back.

[B]

I ate. I ate 42. I ate 42 corners of PB&J that were in the.

[A]

See, I did. BLT kept coming.

[B]

Going through that green room. And I would just.

[A]

Those BLTs were crack. And I think that besides BLTs, I think the only other thing I ate was pot stickers. It was pot stickers and blt.

[B]

And if you're joining us now, we're just talking about the things we ate on the cruise as we moved.

[A]

Okay, so my favorite part, cuz.

[C]

The pool.

[A]

The pool was super dope. Remember the Deep Throat competition or whatever when we were reading the. The ad reads back in the Day. It was like, what is the Deep Throat thing? Or.

[C]

I don't.

[A]

Well, it was a. I don't know.

[B]

I don't even know what you're talking about right now.

[C]

Yeah, this is on the ship. There was a Deep Throat conferen.

[B]

Might have had a fever dream, pal.

[A]

There was something that was, like, listed as, like, a Deep Throat. Deep Throat dive. And we were all like, oh, that's Isaac. Like, he's trying to find some talent or something. Okay. It ended up being cool as hell, dude. What you had to do was, like, dive down to the. The bottom of the pool, grab a beer, come back up, chug it, and then get out. Like. And it was like a timed thing. And then Chad and Jake. J. J.T were the ones that were.

[C]

Oh, also Chad and JT.

[A]

We. We. Yeah, they were. They were doing the commentary while people were doing it. It was hilarious, dude. It was so fun, and people were going for it.

[B]

What pool? This was like the back little pool where they did the. The belly flop.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that, like, main pool on, like, the.

[B]

The day I did a belly flop in there, my eyes were on fire for, like. Oh, my God, two hours. I don't know what was in that water.

[C]

Chlorine, brother.

[B]

I'm not joking. On fire.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. It was piss and come and. And diarrhea and all that.

[C]

No, no, no, because we would like to do the cruise again. It wasn't piss and. And come.

[A]

Yeah,

[C]

that was part of the. This is important games, right? The. The Deep Throat.

[B]

Okay, got it.

[C]

Because I. When I. I showed up, it was just people, like, playing cornhole, and I didn't make it over that direction. And then it was just doing keg stands.

[A]

No. Yes. No, that was a different time. This was. This was the. The Deep Throat dive. It was a. It was a sanctioned event. But what you're talking about was, like, the. The drinking game.

[B]

And you went to that for what? You didn't know what it was, but you thought, I should. I should go to that. I should go to that. I like diving.

[A]

Isaac's like, you gotta go this with me, dude. You got it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Friendship.

[A]

No, it. Well, it's people. It was loud, and it was right outside my window. I'm like, I'm gonna go check it out. It was really, actually very, very funny.

[C]

So that was your favorite part of the ex dive?

[A]

I did. I did enjoy it immensely.

[C]

Yeah. That was sick. I also liked my karaoke night. I hosted a karaoke night that was a blast. And that Was a banger. I think when we do another cruise, I would say maybe we do that every night.

[B]

Every night?

[C]

There should be karaoke every night. Because I feel not enough people were able to get up up because it's only two hours long. And, you know.

[A]

Yeah, I think we joked about it on stage, but, like, literally, I think you could just make a karaoke cruise and people would be so stoked. People get juiced and so you mean

[B]

a karaoke cruise where karaoke is every night? Or we're like, from 8am to 4am all day.

[A]

All day, dude.

[B]

What do you mean by karaoke cruise?

[C]

I think it has to be a certain time. Maybe just once a night. I don't know if it's all karaoke all the time.

[A]

I'm saying it's for a breakfast show, a lunch show, and a dinner show. Like three karaokes.

[C]

That might be.

[B]

I do like the idea of a breakfast. I do like the idea of, like, eating breakfast and just watching somebody.

[A]

Like, I mean, that would be amazing.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

That's like a, that's like a drag.

[C]

Eating breakfast. And you're like, hey, now I'm drunk. Now get your game on. Go play.

[A]

Absolutely. Absolutely.

[C]

There was some real talent at the karaoke contest. I, I will say I was very impressed. It was sick.

[B]

[B]

If you asked me to. Oh, that's a banger, dude.

[A]

So good. Celine Dion is underrated.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Stiff person syndrome. Syndrome. When I, when I thought I had stiff person syndrome, I was, I was looking at Celine, but she seems to be doing okay. She, like, canceled a lot of her tour dates and then has started to pick up some of, some of the dates.

[B]

And she's, she's getting back pretty limber to me.

[A]

Hey, shout out Celine. Okay. Immortal legend.

So sick. Dude, she showed up.

[B]

She looked like the ice queen.

[A]

She showed up to the damn Grammys with her suit on backwards and played it off like she meant to do it.

[B]

You like my dress? It's not the dress. It's a suit.

[C]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

She's like, no, I meant that. I meant to do that.

[C]

And also, this hat that she's wearing is Peter Pan's dress up hat.

[A]

It looks like a piece of paper.

[C]

This is Peter Pan going to a. Going to a wedding right now.

[A]

It looks like lined paper. It looks like she pulled that out of a damn suit suit.

[B]

Riot.

[C]

[A]

I miss him. I miss him now more than ever. I just miss him now more than ever.

The 90s legend is a true.

[A]

Look at that, though. I remember seeing that photo.

[B]

Look at it.

[C]

It's actually a good pop up. These photos when we're talking on. On the flicks. Please. Much appreciated.

[A]

Her hat looks like a paper airplane, dude. It's unreal.

[C]

I would like to apologize real quick. An early apology to our fans for not being able to show the fans on the cruise ship. I guess we couldn't legally do that.

[A]

This is the way.

[C]

Which sucks.

[B]

You know what, though? Half of them called in sick to work.

[C]

Work.

[B]

So we don't want to blow up their spot. Don't worry about it.

[A]

Honestly, dude, everybody was so, like, you were touching upon it, Adam. But like, that cruise could have been like a. A nightmare. But the fact the people make the cruise, the. The people on the ship were the reason it rocked. Everybody was so awesome, dude.

[B]

All the other comedians and other musicians were like, the people here. The fans are super cool. Cool, super good vibe. Nobody was Ms. B Haven.

[A]

I just want to party.

[B]

Nobody really crossed a line. No, I never felt like I was, like, in danger except when Adam started doing that with his lunchworm. Yeah, bro, I didn't know it had motion.

[A]

No, that's.

[B]

But you didn't know it's a belly. Hey, with our powers combined, dude, we could do anything. We figured things out.

[C]

Pizza. Pizza out. What a goddamn genius.

[A]

Everybody was rad, dude. I wonder who, like the drunkest person on the cruise was. Cuz, remember that dude had the belt.

[B]

I'm sorry. Wait, what ao?

[A]

Besides the people we brought.

[B]

There's no. Dude, there's no wondering at all. It was ATBA and Ako.

[C]

It was our friends Ata and Ako. This. This ship. The ship themselves. I'm drunk now. Told Isaac that we have to get them under the control. It wasn't.

[A]

They got cut off.

[C]

It wasn't six man who was. Was the production company who put. Put it on, who all their people were great. And they were the people that you would see running around. It was the ship and the ship security that was like, they can't drink anymore. Now I'm wondering if we do another cruise, we want them to come. We want them to perform. Will they be allowed to.

[B]

I was intoxicated.

[C]

Will they be allowed? Well, is. Are they on a hit list for Nor Norwegian Jewel?

[A]

They might.

[C]

Where they're like, no, they're not. These. These two are not allowed.

[B]

We play the race card. If that's the case, we go, oh, really?

[C]

Oh, oh. Is it because they're half black?

[B]

Two of the few black people on the cruise can't come back. That's interesting. Let's look into Norway's history.

[C]

I also. There was this Asian guy that came up to me, and this was like, let's.

[B]

And let's talk about everybody.

[C]

Everybody's race. Yeah, because we were clocking it.

[A]

We were definitely.

[C]

I'm always clocking racism. How are you talking about it?

[B]

Who are you? White person.

[C]

Person. Hello.

[A]

Shout out.

[C]

Hello, my Asian friend. Shout out, fellow white.

[A]

We also got a. We'll circle back, but we got to talk about jeans, but go ahead.

[C]

Okay, got it. So then this. This Asian guy, he. It was during the middle of the TII Games, and that, I think, was the drunkest people were.

[A]

Yeah, well, the sun. The sun came out. It was a beautiful.

[C]

It was. It was the nicest day. So everyone's out on the main deck pounding beers. We're doing beer bongs. We are doing cake stands. Was sick. And by the way, all of us are 35 to 45. You just, like, clinging on to that part of our youth where we're like, we used to be so cool, and we used to party so hard, and this is when we're gonna wave that flag once again. And it felt so good. The sun was hitting, and this People are pretty sloppy. And this guy comes and he just goes, hey, I want to let you know, I came on this cruise by myself. This podcast means so much to me. I did not know the show. I started listening to the podcast.

[B]

He didn't know workaholics.

[C]

He didn't know workaholics. And then back and watch and he goes, I wish I had friends like you guys.

[B]

Wow.

[C]

And, and I want to thank you. And this means so much to me. I don't even party. I don't drink. I don't do any of this.

[B]

I don't even party.

[C]

I'm having a blast.

[A]

Yeah, let's.

[B]

And I mean, and he was sober or he was drunk or what?

[C]

He was sober. He was sober. He was like, I don't drink, I don't party. And I just want to let you know how much your, the podcast means to me. And I'm having a blast on the cruise, cuz. I was like, are you having fun?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Like I, I, I hope you're having. I was like, I just did a 38 second keg stand.

[B]

A karaoke get a thong.

[C]

Dude, I tell you what, I am so good at keg stands. I'm so good.

[A]

You had to like, stop because you were.

[C]

I just stopped the whole cake. Yeah, I was just like, I'm like 38. All right. Put me down. I guess.

[A]

Yeah. I was like, I've had enough. I've had.

[C]

I remember I did one in Hawaii when we were doing House Party in Hawaii, this, the standup show. And I. It went on like it was like a minute 20 and people were like, bored of counting. And then finally I was like, I just put me down, like permanent. Like, it's just. Because it's. You're just drinking beer and you can just keep drinking beer.

[A]

Like, sure, you just keep swallowing somebody. Yeah, you just keep swallowing. Swallowing.

[C]

You just keep swallowing and swallowing and swallowing. It's.

[A]

I mean, it was impressive. I felt like that's when we really got to shine. Like you were saying, like, it was back to the glory days. We were on the deck. We were all just chog and bears with the homies. It was hogging the, the vibes were immaculate.

[C]

Oh, and a shotgunning. So many shotgunning. But split his finger open because he kept just.

[A]

I wish they would have arrested him.

[C]

How does he wish him. He's so elite at.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Putting his thumb through the beer.

[A]

Renegade. By the way, we call it reneg.

[C]

Renegating. That's a cool term. I've heard that term before. Right. He told me how to do it, and the first time he showed me, I did it and I was like, oh, I'm going to be able to do this. It was at our house with the dinosaurs on the roof. Blake. And, and he showed me how. I was like, oh, like this. And I did it. And then I Was like, I'm going to be able to do this. Absolutely.

[B]

This is going to be your new thing.

[C]

And then I've never been able.

[B]

Yo, Joe Biden. It's science everywhere you go, no matter who you meet.

[A]

Dude, Joe.

[B]

And now. And now you can't do it.

[C]

No, I can't do it. I've tried dozens and dozens.

[B]

And this is the same as using a key, but he just uses his thumb.

[A]

It's not a strength thing. It's. It's physics, for sure.

[C]

It's a. You have to. It's when the bubble goes those. So you tip the can. So this is a Coke. So this won't work, but you tip a can like this and then it creates an air pocket. And then you're supposed to be able to.

[A]

And you have to have a little bit of a thumbnail.

[C]

That would ruin my. That would ruin my life.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

I'm a gnar.

[C]

Yeah. I'm a little bit of a nar as well.

[A]

You're saying not or not.

[B]

So were elite level drunk.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Very fun.

[A]

Yeah, dude. I actually, like, approached them and was like, hey, guys, can you slow down? And then. Then ATBA proceeded to shotgun in my face. I was like, hey, we all have to DJ.

[B]

You're DJing in an hour.

[A]

I'm like, just take it easy. From. Like, if this was at 10 at night. I said, just let's not have another beer till 1:30 on stage.

[C]

Yeah. And then we can start to drink again.

[B]

Eight o' clock, in for work.

[C]

Yes. So I. When I did karaoke, it started at 12. 12:30, right? Yeah. So it was. It was, you know, it's not early and I'm.

[A]

Daddy's bedtime.

[C]

Honestly, dude, I go to bed at like 10pm Now. I'm like such an old man. And so I was like. And. And by the time it was like 11 and I'd been drinking all day, and I'm like, I have to stop. You're.

[A]

You start to draw a bath.

[C]

I have to.

[B]

Yeah, I have to.

[C]

I have to bridge the gap where you want to stop drinking, but then if you fully stop.

[A]

Oh, you shut down, then all of

[C]

a sudden you get. You start to get tired.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Like, I'm like drinking a Red Bull. I'm drinking a soda. Yeah. And then. And then I was like, okay, here's what I'm gonna do. Just a splash of rum.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

Not. Not a whole drink. Not a whole drink. Just enough to. Just enough to keep daddy going.

[A]

Keep it jiggling.

[C]

It felt Good. It felt good to just be back in those days when. When we would. Just when we were full blown alcoholics and we were just living in the workaholics house. And it was extremely expected and it was encouraged and we never got to grow up. How great was that?

[A]

Yeah, it was. It's really. Yeah. We had to. Everything we learned in college, we used

[B]

on the cruise ship.

[C]

That's right.

[B]

That is true.

[C]

It's like every little skill I took. Adderall.

[B]

What?

[C]

Okay, I'm not prescribed Adderall.

[A]

What was this from the pharmacia or.

[C]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. A friend of ours. So it's not like a random person, a friend of bars. I was struggling. I'm like, so tired. I was like, dude, I could just go to bed. And they were like.

[B]

But wanted Adderall.

[C]

And I'm like, give. And by the way, tell you what, I went.

[A]

Did it work? Did it work?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

What was your guys? What was your guys like? Did you. Not that I had like a pattern that I was trying to stick to, but like, after five beers, I was like, I need like a seltzer to just kind of hit reset here. Get that little out of my mouth. Or then just do like a Jack and Coke or then get one of those, like mixed slushy drinks that tastes like a. Like a pina colada type thing. Do you guys have.

[C]

This is me. When the Adderall hits hard, does it

[A]

make your dick hard? I. I soon figured out that, like, being like. What would you call, like, in the Haven, like, kind of like the artist area. Like, I stopped drinking there because I realized when we would go out, like, amongst everybody, we're going to catch like stray shots and beers like that, so.

[B]

Oh, interesting.

[A]

That's where.

[C]

See, that was an elite level move. I did not do that. I liked drinking in the Haven. I like to relax.

[A]

It was.

[C]

Have a cocktail or two.

[A]

And a pot sticker. The pot stickers were.

[B]

I just. I just said no to shots.

[C]

Treat yourself to some beef Wellington. When they pulled out the beef Wellington,

[B]

I'm like, just like, oh, Jesus.

[C]

[C]

I don't know. Who? Jeans?

[B]

[A]

You guys didn't know Jean, maybe Jeans was just like my personal, like, homie.

[B]

So on the cruise, we were given butlers.

[C]

Okay. So you got to use more words. Your personal. Oh, was it a butler or.

[A]

I think it. I think he was.

[B]

Yeah. We had, like, a person that attended to each of us.

[A]

He was amazing.

[B]

So you had jean jeans.

[A]

Yes, which I was like. His name was literally jeans. I'm like, did you just pick the most American thing possible and say, that's my name?

[C]

Yeah, because he was from, like, the Philippines.

[A]

He was from the Philippines. Yeah.

[C]

A lot of those guys are from the Philippines, by the way. Dude, I've never felt like more of a celebrity walking through the bowels of the ship.

[B]

And then when people find out that I'm her brother and then they're a fan, it's weird for her, which I totally understand. And so I think this guy. I. I think he wasn't a fan and didn't really know. And then to go on any Filipinos. And then he goes on to the ship.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

That had to have been.

[A]

I mean, just bizarre.

[C]

Just a bizarre world. Yeah.

[B]

Please stop the music. Please.

[C]

He's like. He kept screaming that. Please stop the music. And then the last night, so we. And we have a little artist haven, and it's getting late, and we all, like, I didn't want to go to bed. It's like one or two.

[B]

I don't want it to end.

[C]

Yeah. Honestly. And, like, we're. I'm still drinking Even though I know that we have to get off the ship in like five hours.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Thank God for Nick Schwarzon because he was like the, The. The. The morning of. He's like, just so you know, they don't. Around like when it's time to go, it's time to. Time to go.

[B]

Yeah. He was digging his thumb into my shoulder when he said that. And I was like, yeah, all right.

[C]

And Nick is. Shout out to Nick, who is sober now. I think it's been about a year. But to go on that cruise, that is.

[B]

And out drank all of us.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

What Very booze heavy and.

[C]

And stay fully sober. That was a very impressive. I was like, dude, we don't need. We don't need him falling off the wagon. And it's all of our faults. That would really, really suck. But he. He was. It was great. But that last night. Yeah, we're there. And then it was the saxophonist, I think, from the goddamn comedy jam, shout out to Josh Adam Myers.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And every Peterson who Or Pearson. Every. Every Pearson who from the goddamn comedy jam. They rocked it.

[A]

I just want to party.

[C]

They rocked it. And Flashback Heart Attack as well, was our other. Both the bands were great, but the saxophone player from that band, who. I don't know his name, who. Who was sloshed.

[B]

He doesn't have one I loved.

[C]

He just came into the. The Haven area, which is the artist area, and just started like rocking the saxophone.

[B]

So just to set the. Set the scene here, people are mingling. We're all hanging out. We're kind of all off the clock now. We're done. We're kind of saying goodbyes and like thank yous and whatever. And someone's got a Bluetooth speaker, music's playing. We're all hanging out and the saxophone guy is just kind of doing saxophone to whatever song is playing.

[A]

It's.

[C]

It's like glycerine. Don't let a days go by glycerine.

[A]

If you've never heard glycerine with a sax solo, it actually works. If you're hammered and you've had buzz balls, it sounds really good.

[B]

And. And no one is like, yeah, saxman. And saxman's not like, hey, by the way, really good to meet you.

[A]

No, he doesn't speak.

[B]

He's communicating by saxophone.

[C]

By saxophone.

[B]

He's not having any conversations.

[A]

I never heard his voice.

[C]

He laid in the chair and you'd see him like kind of doze off and then he'd like, kind of come back to and just start Ripping again. It was the best.

[B]

Unreal.

[C]

Yeah, it was the best. So big shout out to that guy, the sax man. And the amount of buzz balls that we had on the ship was absurd. No one drank. No one drank them. It was just Blake. Oh, yeah. All the buzz walls that were set out in, like, the. The artist area back there, because there were a ton.

[B]

Oh, yeah. Okay. I thought you were talking about the ones we tossed to the. About to say they got some takebacks and apologies.

[C]

No, no, no. I'm sure if you catch a buzzball, you. You get a. You get a buzzball for sure.

[A]

The. The. I think it was the first night we indulged in buzz balls. Like a few of us in the Haven. Yeah. That was like the.

[C]

You and Ako and aa. The who got the drunkest of this

[B]

is Blake in the bathroom. In the mirror. Blake in the mirror and jeans.

[A]

Me and jeans.

[B]

Yeah, I bet. Yeah.

[A]

No baby new Chad one. Baby new Chad one.

[C]

I'm so bad at. At using a concierge or a butler anytime I'm ever. You know, if you stay at a really nice hotel, they give you, like a. They're like, this is your personalized butler. I'm like, what am I going to use this guy for?

[A]

I just, like. I guess we just take shots together.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

I'm like, I didn't know my.

[A]

My guy.

[C]

His name was Parvish. I believe I had two Parvishan and then. Then Naveen, Parvish and Naveen and didn't use either of them once I had

[B]

him walk on my back. And you could just talk to them. You could just talk to them and go, yeah, I just.

[A]

Bro, I just broke down with Jeans.

[B]

No one laughed at my jokes on the pod. And then he's like, that's okay. You're very funny. I'm like, thank you.

[C]

This is. I laughed at your jokes.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You wouldn't. You wouldn't kiss me. You.

[C]

I would not kiss you.

[B]

Dude, there's a picture of us.

[C]

Us.

[B]

There's a picture of us not kissing that looks like we're about to. And I like to think that that's the story it tells, is that we definitely did kiss and that you think about it often.

[C]

You know what? You know what?

[A]

Why wouldn't you kiss him?

[C]

Well, here's. Here's why. I know because I. I wasn't feeling good kind of the whole trip. Yeah. I would have every other day just kiss, which kind of sucked. So, like, it was. It was the day we got into Tampa. I was like, I'm not feeling that good. I should just sleep. So I slept. And then. And then I'm also not sleeping very much. I'm like. I'm afraid I had made. I had a little cold or something. And then I kissed you. I kissed you, Blake, because you wanted me to kiss you.

[B]

You made him.

[C]

And then I turned to Ders, and then I was like, geez, I want to get. I already got Blake sick. Do I get dirt sick, too? And then I bailed.

[A]

I'm still sick.

[C]

Oh, yeah. I probably gave you whatever norovirus I.

[B]

Well, Adam, I hate to tell you, you might have not given me a cold, but you broke my heart.

[A]

Which is. Which is worse. It.

[C]

That is worse. That's life. Today's takebacks, apologies, and epic slams are brought to you by Simple Mills. Blake, I am so sorry I said your hair looked crazy today. It is not like me to be so callous with my words.

[A]

It's okay, man, but you really hurt my feelings there, you know? My hair is my pride and joy.

[B]

Guys, guys, guys. Let's get into the real reason you're acting out. You're clearly hangry.

[C]

No, you're right. You're right. I could use a snack right now. Jersey.

[B]

Well, have you guys heard of Simple Mills? They have incredible snacks, including almond flour crackers and some popums, which are the poppable, munchable snacks that's cheesy, light, airy, and secretly packed with wholesome veggies.

[A]

You're right, Anders. These are delicious. We gotta have more of these around.

[C]

Hey, Blake, dare we say they're an epic snack?

[A]

Let's do that.

[B]

Okay, guys, this segment is officially called Takebacks, Apologies, and epic Snacks. Find simple meals at your grocery store. Now, where was my box? I had somewhere.

[C]

Anything we didn't cover about the cruise?

[A]

I mean, do we even so much?

[B]

We cannot. Or we can talk about T.K.

[C]

oh, yeah. T.K.

[A]

t.K. Absolute weapon on the boat.

[C]

Sure, sure.

[B]

Weapon of destruction. What are we talking about?

[A]

Drake McFadden. Drake McFadden.

[C]

He was fading.

[B]

So Kyle's on the crowd cruise, and the way it works with the wizards is that if we're not there, they're kind of like, well, then why would I even show up?

[C]

Why would they even show up?

[B]

Right? And so it gets. It's really touch and go. They already don't like us. They just respect us and think that we're, like, a big deal down here. Do not tell them.

[C]

Yeah, don't let them know it.

[B]

So. So Kyle's friend, Old Toby Was like, I'm not coming this shit.

[C]

So, yeah, we needed someone to. To rabble Toby's part, so we invited TK.

[B]

Who? Sir Drake McFad. Who knows Sir Drake McFady from the realm. Right.

[C]

So then Sir Drake McFad showed up,

[B]

and we invited him. How long ago? How long ago?

[C]

Months ago.

[B]

Right.

[A]

Months.

[B]

Months.

[A]

Well, Isaac. Isaac was giving a lot of push back. Isaac was giving a lot of pushback,

[C]

and Blake really pushed, and he was like, TK's gonna come. That means Sir Drake McFaden will show. Will. He'll come through the portal, and he's gonna nail Old Toby's raps. I'm gonna come nail it. Without a doubt.

[B]

And the way it works is that if TK gets drunk, Sir Drake McFadon is like, why would I even show up and do my job? I'm gonna pretend like I'm drunk because that's kind of the respect I'm getting.

[A]

It's like. It's like E.T. yeah.

[C]

And then Sir Dre McFaden absolutely butchered the wizard rap.

[A]

And I heard the wizards had a plan to actually do three tracks.

[C]

Yes, we.

[B]

They were gonna do three.

[C]

The wizards were gonna unveil three songs which would have been legendary on the cruise. But then SRE didn.

[B]

My God. Didn't know any.

[A]

Any of them.

[C]

Any of them.

[B]

And he's just sort of spells well. Knew his too. He was raring to go.

[C]

Yeah. And he did. He was rare. And he. He had months to prepare.

[A]

Months.

[C]

And he's just sort of used it as a free vacation for himself.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Because TK was brought on the cruise as talent.

[A]

Yeah, he was. He was.

[B]

Because it's contractually. That's just the way it works with the Realm. And I can't get into it. Do. And I know it's kind of ruining our story, but.

[C]

No, no, no, no, no, no. That it all.

[B]

I don't want to get too inside baseball.

[A]

And as a take back. I will not take back inviting tk. I thought he was an excellent presence on the ship. He. Absolutely.

[B]

Of course. I'm just disappointed in Sir Drake McFad.

[A]

Sir Drake McFad. And kind of dropped the ball.

[B]

Sir Drake faded.

[C]

I will say that faded.

[A]

But tk, he brought the thunder. He wrestled a lot.

[B]

He pickleball. Right.

[A]

We won the pickle ball championship. So we did. We did stand by that.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

What?

[C]

You and. You and him won the pickleball championship?

[A]

Yeah, we stood on.

[C]

Oh, my God.

[A]

That's great.

[B]

That's great.

[A]

Thank you.

[C]

Oh, my God. Good for you.

[A]

Thank you.

[C]

You know what I wish? I wish I would have got out of the bath. I would have. If we did another. Another cruise. I'm going to do it a lot differently. I'm going to game plan it a lot. I feel like I came in a little flat footed and I wouldn't. I would have known exactly what to do. The fact that I didn't have a beer chugging competition. You should ask because I am. It's science pretty elite. But there has to be someone that can.

[B]

Let me get this right. Next time you are on a cruise, you need something that you will win.

[C]

Well, if Blake's doing pickleball, you're like,

[B]

I didn't win anything. This is crazy.

[A]

No, no, no.

[C]

I think people like to do beer chug competitions.

[A]

You could have. You could have gone to the armrest wrestling competition. You might have put. You might have put up numbers. No, you're not being gauge. You're not being.

[C]

I'm not good. I'm not good. My. My arm. My arms aren't long enough. It's all about. You have to have long because it's not about this. It's not about.

[A]

Here we go again. Gage would have buried you.

[C]

Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. Because he's got a long arm. But it's not about.

[A]

I think jeans could be you okay technique.

[C]

Yeah. Well, Naveen's gonna kick your ass. You.

[B]

I can't believe no one went over overboard. Like, that's crazy.

[A]

Shout out to no. No deaths. Nobody got left in Mexico to my knowledge.

[C]

No Even hurts. I think real injuries. Except for AA's finger when he. Yeah. Split it open.

[B]

Andy. Andy fell DJing and just cut himself on the face or scraped himself.

[A]

The wheels were all the way off, but they were all the way on as well. It was perfect.

[C]

Love the cruise. Should we do one every two years? Every year and a half.

[B]

Two years.

[A]

Give me two, give me two, give me two. Me two. Yeah. Because I legit. I do still have like the sea legs. Like I still feel like that's crazy.

[B]

You guys said that's my take back. That's my take back is that I was Drew Dramamine from day one. I didn't do drama me in the first day and I fucking bombed. We were bartending and I had to literally go to the security who. Where's the closest bat bathroom? And I barfed and needed an hour to like reset and that ended my night.

[A]

See, I barfed right before the bartending and it set me right.

[C]

I did not barf. But I also did drama mean every day. The first two days, but I was so tired. Remember how I was just like, I'm so tired.

[A]

And you thought you had Covid. You were telling us you had Covid.

[C]

I did. I was like, I might have Covid or something because. Well, also, like, I'm just going through a bout of insomnia, so. So, like, one day I'll sleep for 20, 15 hours and, like, security was really worried about me. And then the next night I slept for four. And then the next night I slept for like, a regular amount of time. And then the next night I slept for four. So I'm pissed now. So I was just all. All the fuck over the place.

[B]

I didn't have the sea legs thing for more than a day. I think the next day I had it. And then the day after that I was grounded.

[A]

I truly. If I sit down and I read, I feel like I'm still on the boat.

[C]

But Dramamine makes you tired, so I thought I was like, oh, maybe if I stop taking. And I do think it helped. I think I was just so tired because I'm on the drama mean. They do have a less drowsy drama mean. So that's Adderall. Yeah, that's.

[B]

I think there's also probably something. If you take dramamine and drink 40 beers in a day, it's.

[A]

It's not recommended.

[B]

I think that you get tired.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Maybe that's it.

[A]

Disaster. My guy.

[C]

I doubt it.

[B]

Funny how that.

[C]

But that was a legendary trip, boys. I such a blast. I'm so happy that we get to do this. All these years later and we still get to. And the fans showed up and they showed the out and everybody had a blast.

[A]

They rock.

[C]

It makes me feel like the next cruise, all those people are coming back. It's going to be even crazier because we all know what we're getting ourselves into now.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And I'm so excited there will be Dan.

[B]

And I think it comes down to when people were like, like, the other comedians and musicians were like, I can't believe you guys still have these fans and all that. And I was like, well, it doesn't hurt that we still like each other and hang out.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

Right?

[C]

Yes.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Kyle's dead.

[C]

Kyle's dead.

[A]

But.

[B]

But I'm like, the reason it still works is because, like, we still. Still kick it.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Still homies.

[C]

[B]

[C]

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, Mr. Snack Boy? I was like, what was that about 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.

[A]

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

[C]

let it go because that's what a bite of sunshine does. It makes you better than Blake.
