A
Okay. I love that.
C
And are you guys getting a sense of, like, a little bit like they're Roya to. At this point?
B
At this point? Yeah.
A
Oh, yeah. We might have to start sitting them on stage.
C
They're like, excuse me, those are our seats.
B
That's what I was saying to Khloe when she was like, oh, how's the show. And I was like, it's cool. At this point, we've done. Our fans are like family.
A
They're like family. They are. We're like, jug. We're hitting Juggalos.
B
Exactly. We're basically the Juggalos at this point. And when I was saying goodbye and they were out at the bar, it wasn't even, like, a thing. I was like, all right, see you guys. They looked over the shoulder. They're like, oh, what's up, Adam?
C
Yeah. All Thanksgiving, you're like, obviously.
B
I was like, do you want a photo or anything? They're like, we're actually good. We've had so many. We're fine.
C
They take a look at you and go, not tonight. Not your best night.
A
Yeah.
B
Not in that outfit. No.
A
Not in the leathers. We didn't like them in the leather.
C
We're fun outfits.
B
Oh, my God. We had. We had so many leathers.
A
It'll be on Netflix, right?
B
Absolutely. Absolutely.
A
Netflix is a joke.
C
That's right, Blake. It will be.
A
And I. I also made a huge announcement that night, if you guys recall.
B
I don't.
A
Kind of started the show off with it slips. My huge announcement?
B
Yeah.
A
Do you recall?
C
Does it have to do with your Peronis?
B
No, no, no. I don't remember the announcement.
C
You've been fucking so hard. You got Peyton's, right?
A
No.
B
Ronnies.
C
My peyronie.
A
You remember I started the show off with a huge announcement.
B
You saying that, Blake. But we do not remember this huge announcement.
A
Okay. Okay.
C
Well, all I remember is Peyronis. Go ahead.
B
Peyroni sounds like a sandwich. There's a sandwich. That's a pero. Pierogi.
A
Pierogi. It's like a.
B
And a Peroni is a. Is a beer.
C
Yes.
A
A pierogi, I think, is like a Polish dumpling.
B
So Peron's disease is a curved penis
A
disease with a bump at the end. Don't forget the signature bump.
B
The signature bump. So that's. That's crazy.
C
If.
B
I guess if I was a beer, I would name my beer something else. If it's so close to a curved dick disease.
C
Well, it's Peyronie and it's Peyronie.
B
I know. It's too close.
C
And ladies, slide into Blake's DMs. If you've ever dealt with some Peyronis and give us the pluses and the minuses.
A
No, I'm thinking. If you think you may have.
C
How's that bump hit?
A
If you think you may have Peyronis, send me A pic. I will. I will diagnose you. My DMs are the official Peyronie.
B
Blake's DMs are open.
C
I actually love this. It's got to be hard, right? Like, it only.
B
It has to be hard.
C
I'm not saying. Sorry. I'm not saying the picks hat. Like, that's the prereq for sending the pick. I'm saying for the peyronies to be visible, it has to be rage.
A
You know what? I'm the pro here.
B
Well, that's what I'm saying. So for the pick, it has to be rock hard, as hard as it can get.
A
And, guys.
B
And then Blake also has to be as hard as he can get just so he can diagnose.
C
That's the only way.
B
That's the only.
A
Oh, I will be. And here's the deal.
C
And, ladies, if your man has it, I want you guys to be taking a picture holding it to your head like a telephone.
A
Gotcha. Hello. Here's the deal. Here's the deal, guys. Don't be sending me in just like. Yeah, my. Your dick has a slight tilt to it.
B
We don't want that.
A
I want the full curve. I want. And it has to have that. That signature book.
B
The signature.
A
Has to have that signature book.
C
And we're not just talking about this out of nowhere. We just did a commercial for it. There's cures out there.
A
Yeah.
B
We just did a commercial for it. And by the way, this is something that we. You know, they ask us, like, hey, do you want to do a commercial for this disease? And we're like, we don't want to do commercials for some disease. And then they told us what this disease was, and we're like, what are the guys? We're the guys to spread.
A
Is it a disease? It is a disease, right? Yeah.
B
Because if anyone. What's called Peyronie's disease.
A
So I thought D stand for.
B
I feel if our. Our fan base. We probably have the most Peron's disease per capita. Per cap.
C
Adam.
A
Adam.
C
Zero doubt.
B
Zero doubt.
C
Zero doubt.
B
We're curved, baby. We got that power.
A
We are a curve. We. We great on a curve. We great on a curve.
C
We great on a curve. We're great on the curve.
A
As you know, I made a huge announcement. It wasn't that I am a.
B
Well, hang on, Blake. We're not done with Peroni's disease, okay. Because Todd Tod on drums.
A
Yeah.
B
When suddenly Will Forte picked up a guitar and cured our friendship.
A
Oh, my God.
B
That brought us back Together because we
A
were on the outs. We were at each other's throats.
B
That was actually really, really scary. I was scared.
C
It almost never happens unless we do it in a show.
A
True.
B
It almost never happens unless we've done it on Conan. We've done it a few other times live.
A
It happens.
B
We've made a YouTube video.
C
It almost works as, like a cool way to end a show.
B
Yeah, almost. But you'll have to check it out. It's on Netflix. Oh, yeah, Button I am.
A
Netflix is a joke fest. What a blast that was.
B
So Todd just wrote our drummer. Todd.
A
Wow. Which great drum just wrote in the.
B
In the chat. Peyronie's disease is estimated to affect approximately 1 in 10 to 1 in 11 men in the United States. So that's a lot.
C
That's in the U.S. we'll do it live.
B
That's just in the U.S. so imagine what's happening like in Peru or some other country.
A
There's some very curvy nations.
B
There could be some curvy Italy. So studies suggesting the prevalence rates as high as 13. Wow.
C
Yeah.
A
So it's real.
B
Well, only 0.5 of men have a formal diagnosis.
C
We'll straighten you out.
B
So I'm straightening you. You gotta get diagnosed. Maybe you can. Maybe you could take a pill or something or there's some kind of injection that you just.
A
The ad we just read mentioned that you don't have to get surgery for it.
B
Well, that's what I'm. That's what I said. A pill would be non surgical.
A
Yeah, I mean. And you again, my DMs are open. I can diagnose you just make sure it's hard.
C
And this is going to be great.
B
It has to be rock hard, right?
A
It's gonna be good.
B
So. But then I've heard that. That women love a curved penis. I've heard that. Sure, I've heard that.
C
Adam, when they tell you this, they're
B
being nice because it hits. It hits the good. The. The good spot. My penis is not curved.
C
We' My penis never seen it hard slide.
B
I don't think you want to see it.
C
Well, you keep talking about it.
A
No, no, no.
C
Donkey. Donkey.

A
Okay, okay, that's fine. That's fine. My DMS are open, so you can send it whenever you're ready.
B
Okay. So what was this big announcement, Blake, that you won't shut up about that? No one.
A
A lot of you may recall There
C
was a big announcement at the show.
B
Yeah, yeah.
C
Okay, Now I know where.
A
Remember, it wasn't.
C
It wasn't even like as we sat down. It's before we sat down, Adam.
A
It's a huge announcement.
B
Was before we sat down. So, yeah, think about it.
C
What were we doing before we sat down? What were.
B
We came out. We rocked.
A
What's part of our rock?
B
We were, you know, yelling at. We were throwing.
C
Adam.
B
Oh, okay.
A
It's.
C
This is tectonic. This is a shift.
A
Hey.
B
Yeah. Hey, Blake. I'm sorry. I was poo pooing. This big announcement. This is actually a big announcement. A massive announcement.
A
It is.
C
Blake. This is a big deal.
B
This is a big, big deal for
A
those who were in attendance. You know that I am taking my talents of alcoholism. Of alcoholism and pre made cocktails to none other than big sips, baby.
B
I'm a big sips boy.
A
I'm a big sips boy, right? Thank you so much.
B
That's not.
C
Yeah, I told you, dude, I'm still gonna hit this.
B
I just want a car, I'm drunk. I'm drunk now button. Hit the applause.
A
I don't have an applause button. Yes. I've never had an applause, but I thought you did.
B
I thought you had like a give me a hell.
C
Yeah.
A
I think that's at the tip. Well, anyways, so I gotta cut. So everybody sip on. Sip on.
C
Is that what it says on it?
A
No, that's my.
B
Does it say that we gotta come
C
up with it because, like, buzz balls now you buzzed off.
A
Okay, I'm doing sip on.
B
Essentially. These are a Buzzballs competitor. I want to say knockoff.
A
Okay.
C
Interesting.
A
Yeah, but look at this.
B
They're called big sips with a Z, which, by the way, a lot of people would see the Z and be like, this is stupid. I see the Z and I go, this is a fun time party crew right now. Is it a women owned company?
A
I. I haven't looked into it yet and they haven't reached out to me.
C
And buzzballs was.
A
It was.
B
Was. Apparently.
C
I don't know how I feel about women co opting balls. That kind of is our thing.
A
Okay.
B
And next they're gonna. Next they're gonna co op Peron's disease.
A
And what?
B
We have nothing now. Do you love him?
C
Where do we go from there?
A
Yeah, thank you.
C
Where do we go from there?
A
We only have so many things. Yeah, but look at. Look at the flavor of this one. It's diamond, actually.
B
That does look poisonous, but like, in a good way. In A way that I. I like better than buzzbo.
C
Can you hold it closer so it's even more or less in focus?
B
Yes. Even blurrier and more out of focus. Perfect.
C
Big sips and so diamond flavored. Are you going to slam it right?
A
Yeah. Everybody sip on.
C
Are you going to take a big sip?
A
Sip on Big sips nation.
C
We'll workshop that.
B
Todd is saying, sip, sip, hooray, Which I love.
A
Sip, sip, hooray.
B
Not bad. Sip, hooray.
A
Hey, Todd, guess what? You just earned yourself.
C
Yes. Points. Some points. Todd.
B
Is that Todd's first points?
C
I think Todd is a time traveler.
A
Yeah. Here we go. Sip, sip, hooray, everyone.
B
Wow.
C
What is this, the revolutionary war sipsy parade?
B
Well, you're a little fancy when you're drinking.
C
It's true.
B
Big sips with the Z. Yeah, you're a little classic. Wow.
A
Big sips diamond.
C
Does it drink faster? It looks like it comes out faster.
B
Whoa, whoa.
A
That one. Actually, that's a burner.
B
And there's nothing. We're. We're recording this at 11am on a Thursday.
A
So somebody alert Guinness Book of world Record. I think I just made it. Earliest big sip.
C
Let's just say Dennis's. Dennis Book of World Records. It's a different guy. Somebody call up Dennis Kumbaya.
A
I think that's a record. Dennis. I just had an 11am big sips. Diamond flavored. That's got to be a record in the Dennis book.
B
A record. Well, big sips are sold in liquor stores next to buzz balls. Correct. They're right. They're right there.
A
Yeah, they're right there. They're right.
B
So that leads me to believe that there's been some very sad 6am on the way to work. Big sips it right, bro.
C
If you.
A
If you start your day. Big sipping. That's my people.
B
That seems like one of those true alcoholics where they're like, they're on. They're filling up gas and then they look in and they're.
C
They're like, maybe they get like a breakfast taquito. And then they look over and they
B
look down and there's a. And lukewarm, diamond flavored.
C
Big sip still on the palate. Still wrapped in the palate. And they poke a hole. Drink that. They poke it.
B
They've got to poke the hole. They got to rip the plastic to get it to force it out.
A
The dragon wings aren't even done rotating yet. They're still thawing out. They're like.
C
They ask if you sell them individually or if you have to buy the palette and they're like.
B
We, we obviously sell them individually and they're like. So I have to buy the palette and they're like. I mean you can, you could. Okie dokie. So I have to.
C
That's to be a dentist in this book.
A
Resident.
C
That's in the dentist.
A
That shit's important.
B
This is in the dentist book.
A
I will say. Cuz I had to drive to like four different liquor stores this morning to find them. Oh, cuz yeah, they're Bus Balls is everywhere. But Big Sips is a little more
B
new to the game.
C
They might be in cahoots with Big Gas making people drive around looking for them.
A
Hey, well, we're trying to elevate. We're trying to elevate the name a bit. Big Sips and get them.
C
Yes.
A
Get them trending. I like their Blake.
B
I, I, I, I love you taking us, I'm guessing medium sized business. Not even a small business, but a medium sized business and just elevating it. That's kind of cool. Thank you. But why are you, you're not getting paid for this. Once again, correct, Isaac. No. Isaac.
C
You think Isaac's listening?
B
Isaac, throw in the chat if. How much Blake is making, Don? Only if you're listening.
A
No.
B
Shut up, Isaac. Go ahead.
A
No, he's not making anything.
B
He's not making anything.
A
Not yet. Not yet. We're. We're placing the foundation.
C
I like that making anything is different than being paid. I think he's making something. He's making memories. He's making me want to move on to something else.
B
He's making diarrhea.
A
Well, I will say because it is,
C
it is making ibs.
B
He's making diarrhea for sure.
A
I mean it is cool. With as you mentioned, the Z, it does have a little bit more of a hip hop flavor. So I wonder if this is like, I wonder if this is like Paul Wall's drink or something.
C
Okay, there's no way to know. We couldn't google this or like look at this one.
B
So Todd just threw in the chat. Big Sips with this are generally marketed as the more budget friendly option. Okay. Let's go with some users perceiving them as a cheaper alternative for similar effects mix. Oh, so this is cool that this is the cheaper version than the absolute trash can beverage of buzz balls.
A
Hey, come on. Buzz balls. Hey, I still have love for buzz balls.
C
I don't think they're saying cheaper than buzz balls. I think, I think they're saying cheaper than like your high End or higher end mixed. Pre mixed.
B
Yeah, well, yeah, I think some of those pre mix, they've got too fancy, like zipzip. Hooray. Like the old fashions that are pre mixed. I'm like, drink. I don't want a classy like nice drink, by the way, next to like
C
at the grocery store. They're like right there next to like the turtles and like the nice chocolates. I'm like, what alcoholic is like, man, I'll take a. I'll take a roadie. Like an old fashioned roadie. Dude. You never know, man, who could be doing that.
A
Yeah, you never know who could be looking.
B
Yeah. Who.
C
Who could be reaching past who out
B
of the three of us is their
C
child in the car saying, move. Stop it. You're the reason I need this.
B
Touch that here, actually.
A
Yeah.
B
Okay. You can put a few of those in the cart. Put those in the car.
C
Yeah, you grab a kitchen, look like daddy one of those chocolate drinks.
A
You grab your candy and then grab daddy his candy too.
C
It. Who could be doing that?
A
I will say going to 711 at like 7:00am, 8:00am like, searching for big sips.
B
Yeah. What were the looks you were getting at the.
C
I mean, that's not on. That's not on brand.
A
But by the way, no looks.
C
No looks.
B
No, that's right. That's right. I feel like at liquor stores and at Seven Elevens, I feel like they're. That's diamond dozen.
C
You walk in at that time, they're already reaching for it to give to you, right?
B
Yeah, they're like, if you go for a bottle, they seem like coming. They're like, they're like you're looking for a buzz ball. And he's like, no. And like, no, you.
A
I say, you didn't hear the big announcement. Big sips from the troubadour. Netflix is a joke fest.
B
We're big sips that shook. That shook TII nation to the core.
A
But I.
C
The Vickers were crying.
A
The people who get their. Their like morning coffee at 7:11. Those are some real go hards, dude. I saw some real go hards in there.
C
Like, you mean mo most people?
B
Yeah, a lot of people.
A
What do you mean, like, no? Well, okay, maybe it was an elitist thing like how you think, like Starbucks is where you go. But that, yeah, that's an expensive cup of joe. But the real working man is getting his coffee at 7:11.
B
See, see, I. I drink a lot of coffee and I will get a 711 coffee. I do not mind it. They actually have pretty Good.
A
It's like really tweaking and for a while.
B
I don't think we have the deal any longer. But Punk Bunny Coffee, the coffee company that I'm invested in, was the official coffee of 7 11.
C
That's right.
A
Is there a realm where they collab with Big Sips, Punk Bunny, Big Sips, Espresso Martini?
C
Adam just signed off.
A
Honestly. Honestly?
B
No Dog, Naked grandma.
A
Honestly?

C
You never. Yeah. Okay. Until now.
A
Okay.
C
Until weirdly now.
B
Yeah, you never say never.
C
I feel like you just did.
A
Okay, fair enough.
C
Like, when you go in 7 11, are you wearing like, Carhartt? Are you. Are you pretending like you're like a construction dude? Oh, yeah, I got like the reflective hoodie.
B
Like you have a real job to go to and not just a podcast three hours from.
C
See you guys on the site. So what did you do?
B
You said at 7 8am we started at 11. So what did you do for.
A
Well, I. I had to drop my daughter off at school. And then after that I went. I went searching for.
B
Oh, okay, Okay.
C
I do love the idea of you going to drop off. You open the car door and a bunch of big sips just roll out by accident. Oops. And everyone's like, oops, sorry. The guy from Workaholics
B
Not.
A
Good luck on the science fair project.
C
To be trusted. And I also think he was going to a construction site right after drop off.
A
Yeah, he weirdly had on like cat construction boots and fucking flann.

Yeah, but that's. But he. But he is a poser, so. And that's popular right now.
A
Loose. Okay.
B
That's right. You know, he can't. You know he can't even skateboard. He can't even skateboard.
A
I was giving it a. I was giving it a good college try, but started to fuck up the heel of my foot, man. Hey, TII Nation, if something's been off in the bedroom, you're not the only one.

Let's talk about a condition many people haven't heard of, and it turns out it's more common than you'd think. Peyronie's disease, or PD for short. PD can happen when scar tissue builds up under the skin of the penis.
C
This can cause a curve with a bump during an erection and for some men lead to pain during intimacy and may impact mental health. It may also lead to anger and frustration, depression, lowered self esteem, and even withdrawal from sexual activity and physical intimacy. Because of this, some men could feel embarrassed or reluctant to talk about pd.
A
The actual cause of PD isn't always known. In some cases, it may be linked to a minor injury or repeated injuries during sex or other physical activity. The good news is PD is treatable. If you notice a curve with a bump, a trusted urology specialist can help diagnose it and walk you through your options, including non surgical treatment. To learn more about Peyronie's disease, visit

Where do we think the term college try came from? Is that like being gay?
A
Well, I feel like I'm on a roast here. No, no, no.
C
Remember how it was? It was always. There was a joke, there was a whiteboard joke, a joke that's been overused where someone would say something. Well, one time in college, like, they would be like, like doing something gay or gay adjacent. And then the person would have like
A
a sliver of admittance.
C
Something. In college. That was one time in college. We talked about that.
A
Okay, okay, hold up.
C
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So what is the college try? Like, where in college you can do anything new?
B
Yeah, I think in college, like you. You really try to damn near everything. You're trying hard. In college, you're trying hard.
A
It's a Time to experiment.
C
You think it's. It's trying harder, Trying new things.
A
It's trying new things.
C
I think it's new things.
B
No, I think it's. No, I think it's hard.
A
No, it's the college try.
C
Okay, Adam, we might be talking about the same thing.
B
No, no, no, no, no.
C
That new thing might be real hard and it might have a bump on the end.
B
You're trying difficult things and you're. And you're giving it your best. That's the college.
C
I think give it a college try is something you've never done and you're giving it a college try, meaning it's a first and it's unknown.
A
I think it's both. I think it's both. I think it's. You're trying something new and you're trying it to the best of your ability.
C
Oh, interesting.
B
Give us the definition of college try.
C
Yeah, Todd, what, do you just play drums now? You can't slide? Come on, man.
B
And in the meantime, Big sips or buzz balls are generally featured Vodka, tequila, rum in their cocktail lines. Okay, well that's kind of cool. Okay. Whereas big sips are known primarily using wine based malt, like foundation malt liquor.
A
I'm living in a nightmare.
C
That's where the Z comes from.
B
So somehow. Somehow worse.
A
Worse than buzzball, but no, Buzzballs was wine based too. That's bullshit, Adam.
C
You blazed me on this, bro. Oh, you just blazed me.
A
That's bullshit.
B
Oh, I blazed you. I'm sorry.
C
I think Todd made this up because he loves you. But give it an old college try means to make a maximum sincere effort when. To achieve something. Often when success is unlikely, it implies a spirited allout attempt. Historically originating from. From the early 1900s, baseball to describe a heroic but often futile effort. Yes. Points.
A
Those are for Adam. Well done, Adam. You're the smartest friend.
B
Now I know you guys.
A
You are the smartest friend.
B
I am smarter than you guys.
C
Can I just say something weird? It's weird that they're like, give it. The old college try comes from baseball as opposed to from college.
B
Yeah. That once it went to 1900. Baseball. Yeah.
C
Because everything else is from baseball where it's like he knocked it out of the park.
A
Like that's true. This was the one time I feel like. Yeah. Referenced by Babe Ruth. Like any. Yeah, Babe Ruth. He was kind of trend setting back then, though. My boy. Babe Ruth.
C
Babe Ruth is give it the old college try. So then you're really trying to suck. Okay, got it.
A
Yeah. Yeah.
C
Got It.
A
You got it.
C
Yeah, yeah. Maximum effort.
B
Maximum.
C
I couldn't walk the next day. Fucking old college try.
A
The old college.
B
I gave it the old college try.
C
Hold up.
B
You know, even though it was a futile effort, I gave it the old college try.
C
What were we even talking about? And by the way, this is my fault. I'm sorry. I derailed this one. I know we all derail, but this.
A
No, I think we were talking about. About. We were talking about coming off the Troubador.
C
I know where the college try come from.
B
Well, you know what this is? You know what this is? This is dementia. Episode 300.
C
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
B
N. Grandma, you should have, like, do I know that you plan for this, Blake. I know you did because it's 300 and this is a big deal. And I know that you have, like, this is Sparta or something on the soundboard ready to go. I know you do. I know you watch the movie 300.
A
Okay, do you guys really want to get down to the. The nuts. Nuts and bolts of it. The Nson, please. Todd did email me some. But our 300th episode was supposed to be the show at the Troubadour, but we didn't. It's just a lot of logistics.
C
Oh, so you've had all these hot buttons for a week now?
A
No, I. I didn't. I didn't load them. The only new.
B
Oh, yeah. Todd is saying he emailed you a bunch of 300 ones.
A
Huh? He did. He did. But I thought we had already recorded the 300 at the Troubadour, so the only board drop that I have that's new is. We have. I have that one. That's about it. What the. Gave my cousin head drop from that. That one Kanye track. I finally got it.
B
Oh, yeah, that one is.
A
That one's pretty good. That's for 300. That's a 300 celebration.
B
Well, why is that 300? Why. I don't. I'm not quite quiet putting that together.
C
Like, Even Kanye says 300 in a song, but did.
B
It doesn't say 300.
C
Yeah, he goes. He goes. 300 Trojans or whatever when he's.
A
Yeah, Todd. Todd sent me all those, but I think I. I think in the email.
C
Here come the Trojans. 300. That's interesting. Interesting. I like the way you're. It's so cool to see the way.
A
I need a bunch of Kanye drops on the board. I don't need. I'm not going to put a bunch of. Just turn this in. In a Kanye west board. Come on now.
B
Okay, well, okay, you didn't have to. He said he sent you a bunch of them, not necessarily from Kanye. And then you didn't even get one that he mentions. 300. The number 300. You just.
A
I had to go get big sips at 8am in the morning.
C
Adam, take it easy.
A
I'm over here bending over backwards.
C
Like what?
A
I'm bending over backwards. I'm giving it the college try.
C
My whole body's got peyronies trying to do everything.
A
Come on.
C
I was talking to my son the other day. We watched the trailer for 300 because he's big into like military history. And I was. We were watching trailers from movies, war movies. And then 300 pops.
A
Who's his favorite soldier? Who's his favorite soldier?
C
You think I'm listening.
B
Oh, this is. This is going to be the day after Memorial Day. This, this episode comes out. So.
C
Oh, so even, even more apropos.
A
300.
C
Don't ask me to spell that word.
A
Okay.
C
So we watched the trailer for 300. Cause I'm like, oh, this is kind of like a Jason. And I guess it's based on a real story or a real old story.
B
Yeah, real old. Spartans.
C
The chest kick. He goes, did he just push him down a well? I go, no, he kicked him in the chest. When he's like, this is Sparta. And I was like, you know, oldest son of mine. I think that's the most famous and maybe the first chest kick in movie history.
B
It can't, it can't be the first chest kick, but it is.
C
The 80s were all roundhouses. They were high kicks and roundhouses. I don't remember a straightforward leg up chest kick before that. The 80s were roundhouse kicks. And then when you grab the person and you roll on the ground backwards and kick them off.
A
Right?
B
There was a lot of that. There was a lot of you throwing yourself on the ground and then kicking them off, which I was always kind of like, what if you landed on a rock when you did that?
A
Yeah, that would be.
B
That would be an ouchie.
A
The, the. The roundhouse sweep kick was a really good one where you like go down and, and knock the legs out. I think you may be correct because then after that 300 chest kick, it started to be used everywhere.
C
A bunch of where like became like the masculine one. And then the high kick became kind of the college try kind of.
A
Yeah, it really did. Did it started to be like, okay,
B
well, Todd is sort of blowing you up again, dude.
A
Let's go. What? Dude?
B
Michael Keaton in 1989 delivers a chest kick to a henchman in the Ace Chemical Factory scene.
A
Oh, that is true. Todd, guess what? More points.
C
Yes, points.
A
Where is he pulling this stuff out from? That's right, Batman.
C
Hey, Todd.
A
God, will you go away?
B
And also in the movie, Roxanne in 87 and then also enter the dragon. And that was 73.
C
Oh, yeah, that's the iconic one where he's got the footprint on the chest.
B
Yeah.
A
So wait, wait, what Roxanne? What is Roxanne? Steve Martin movie?
B
I think so. Yeah.
A
There's a chest kick in Roxanne. The.
B
Apparently a notable comedic physical use of a kick to the chest in a fight scene scene.
A
Wow, that's kind of crazy. Is that the one where he has the really long nose and it's like, am I tripping? Remember that movie where Steve Martin has like a really long nose?
C
That's Roxanne.
A
Yeah, because it's a play on, like some old play or some Cyrano.
B
Not Cyrano de Berger.
C
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right. You are correct.
A
Yeah.
B
On the word when you don't know it.
A
Cyrano. There's so many words that I've never said out loud until we're on the word. Like the word until and out loud aloud.
C
What?
A
Cyrano. Nothing.
B
Okie dokie.
A
Cyrano de Bergeriak. I believe it is a play on that. Anyways, I remember.
B
So dumb.
A
I remember Steve Martin's long ass nose in that. That it did not happen.
C
I remembered seeing the nose and being like, I'm not watching this movie.
B
Yeah. I remember being out. I think I was too young and
C
I was too old.
B
Admittedly. I, I was, I was too young to bullet. Even though he was so silly. I didn't really with Steve Martin that much until I got older. And then I went back and watched some of his stuff and I'm like, oh, he was wildly funny. But as a kid.
A
Yeah, I think it was like his silver hair. It kind of was off putting. I thought it was like a grandpa.
C
It was crazy.
B
You, you're like, oh, this is grandpa.
A
Like young, young grandpa, man.
B
Even though he was like younger than we were. Than we currently are.
A
He's very. Yeah, he's very young.
C
Has anyone let their hair go like that in modern times? Dude, like, you just wouldn't. You just wouldn't.
A
Leslie Nielsen had the, had the look.
C
Yeah, but like how like George Costanza. Nice thumbs up. How like George Costanza, like, let the hair go. People are shaving their heads and dyeing their hair now, right?
A
People are definitely dying the shit out of you.
C
Like, the dude from Mad Men had kind of white hair, but he was kind of old by that time. But he wasn't that old.
A
Oh, yeah, that guy was dope. What is that guy's name?
B
John Slather. Slathery.
A
Yeah. Yeah. That dude's sick. That dude is sick.
C
He is fucking cool.
B
Clooney. Clooney, you know, has let. Nick let it go.
A
Yeah, but like, Clooney, he's a hot boy.
C
He's salt and pepper. And he was a little older.
B
Mark.
C
Steve Martin. And by the way, what are we saying are Steve Martin's best movies here? Like, the. Is the Jerk his best, or is this jerk's just like the funniest, silliest one?
A
I mean, I think his best is Three Amigos. That one is off the freaking hook, dude. I think he kills it. It's an ensemble.
C
But I like Parenthood.
B
I feel like Father of the Bride, Bowfinger. I feel like I've only seen maybe three Steve Martin movies. Hello. I've seen the Jerk. That's good. I've seen Three Amigos. I'll admit it. I've never seen.
A
Really, dude?
B
Never seen it.
C
I'm not a huge Three Amigos guy.
A
The concept of the movie is off the fucking hook, dude. It's gr. It's really dope. Like, that's three actors who play.
B
Sorry, dude. That also. That movie was that. That movie came out, like, two years after I was born. So the. You know.
A
Yeah, it was like a. It was just on Comedy Central.
C
It's almost all chest kicks, actually, now that I look at it.
A
There's so many chess kicks in that movie.
B
Cyrano de Bergerac, which, by the way, we were all saying. But not with enough confidence.
C
That's true. Yeah.
B
Roxanne is a modern, clever adaptation of Sierra de Bergerac. And you just got to let it flow. When you say it. Don't be afraid.
A
Yeah. No, no, you.
B
None of this will be doing. Just quietly, which I think is the.
C
The made famous, because Todd, hold me accountable here. It's like the one where someone's being told something to say. Yes, and then they say it.
B
Yes, that's right.
A
Steve Martin has this huge nose and
C
Was it the first use of that?
A
Yeah, that. Yes, I think so. Yeah.
C
It's like Todd's about to hit me with fucking.
B
In Cyrano de Bergerac. The Shakespear play.
A
Yes, yes.
C
But Todd's gonna hit me with Leviticus or some.
A
No, no. I think Shakespeare invented the whole concept. The. Basically the concept is. Is like you're putting words in your homie's ear because you're kind of, like, too ugly to say them, so you send them in, right? Because his nose is so big. He don't. He can't talk to the girl, so he has, like, a hot dude do it for him. I think that's what it's about.
C
I feel like big noses are taking over.
B
Oh, his. His best movie is Bowfinger, by a long shot.
A
Oh, hell yeah.
B
By a long shot.
A
Eddie.
C
I said Bowfinger. But. But is he the funniest in Bowfinger? He's very funny, but no, no. Eddie steals the show.
B
Eddie's. Eddie's the star. And. And also Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
C
Planes, Trains.
A
Oh, yeah. That is the one.
B
That is the one for me watching.
C
I told you, dude, watching Planes, Trains and Automobiles the other day, there's no way they would let a main character be so rude. Mean in a movie anymore. So mean when he does at the airport when he's, like, swearing at this lady's, like, in her face.
A
Yeah, he's just a dick.
B
He's just teen. Off on.
C
People are like, I don't know. It's a little too much these days. But that's what made the movie good, is that you saw this guy total, who we identify with in the beginning, kind of go off the rail.
A
You do, because you're an.
B
Yeah, yeah.
C
But we've all.
A
Yeah.
C
I like how Adam, like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, he's never been so much worse to a person working at an airport than me.
B
Oh, my God, I never have. I've only Spirit Airlines, and they don't count, dude.
A
They're gone.
B
They went under because. Because they were so bad at their jobs.
A
They gone.
C
Adam. Adam waits to go on Twitter. But you identify with somebody being so far gone that they're like. And they've. They've gone too far. And maybe they don't know it in the moment, but we as an audience know they've gone too far. Are. And we see it. And that allows the transfer of who we're rooting for in the movie. You start off being like, oh, my God, this guy's so annoying about John Candy. And then you're like, right.
B
Oh, no.
C
He's just, like, a good guy who's doing his best. This guy's kind of a dick, and he's got it all and does know. He.
A
Yeah, right. He's not like. Because I was like, oh, who are other, like, leads? Like, I was. I'm start thinking about like, I feel
B
like Chevy Chase was usually kind of a.
C
A prick, but he was so goofy. He. It was a good balance. But yes, he was a dick in real life, apparently.
A
World.
C
World class.
A
True. Ben Stiller and Meet the Parents. He's not like a. Right he, but he kind of is.
B
He's like, no, but in Happy Gilmore. Well, yeah, he certainly is, but he's
A
not the lead of that one. I'm like saying, like, who's like the. The leads where you're like, oh, my God, this dude is just a total dick.
C
But, oh, like, I mean, groundh.
B
Ders when he's in stuff.
A
Yeah. Groundhog Day. He's a total asshole.
C
Hey, hey, in Monarch, I'm the nice guy. What are we talking about here?
A
Dude, I've seen.
B
I've seen you with that rope around your neck.
C
Come on. I got the rope around my shoulders, not my neck.
B
I was hoping it's right in your neck.
C
Actually, season two, it gets rough. It gets dark. Oh, no. It's not a spoiler. It's not real. Oh, but no. Groundhog Day. Bill Murray. Murray is quintessential.
A
But that's the whole movie. The whole movie is about him learning the lesson not to be an.
C
Yeah, well, same with every other movie. Yeah.
B
Well, no, that's great. And Groundhog Day rocks.
C
Scrooged.
B
Scrooge.
C
Bill Murray actually was an more than Chevy.
B
He's really good at being an.
A
I think that was.
B
He's able to be an. And you still kind of like him.
A
Still love him. Yeah, you're like, I get it.
C
Kingpin. Come on. Oh, legendary. Not the protagonist, but the best in the history of.
B
Kingpin's an all time favorite movie of mine, and I haven't even seen it in probably 10 years. I gotta get my Kingpin on.
A
Yeah, I was just. Not to get too Hollywood with it, but I was just kicking with Woody the other night. Dude, it was cool.
B
I saw you.
C
Dude, here we go.
B
I saw you.
C
Dude.
A
It was fucking cool school. And I was like, dude, all I
B
ever, like, think, did he say, what's up? And he loves workaholics.
A
He didn't, but I. I think he was kind of partying.
C
He goes, can you grab me a sandwich from over there?
A
Also, hello. You're a voice on the Freak Brothers. Yeah, no.
B
Did you mention that?
A
Yeah, of course. Dude. He was so sick. He was like, it was a really good time, but it was like, kind
C
of like, where is this? Can you set the scene?
B
And what did he say when you said, hey, I'm the executive producer of the Freak Brothers. I'm also on it.
A
Did he say anything? I didn't drop it that way. I was just more like, yo, Freak Brothers. You do a voice on that? He's like, yeah.
B
And he's like, yeah.
C
He goes, I do.
B
Well, he just thinks you're a fan, dude.
A
He totally.
C
Dude, where was this?
A
It was at the Sunset Tower. Is it Towers or Tower?
C
Tower.
A
Tower, yeah. Sunset Tower.
B
And it was one tower.
C
Is this a. I thought there was a hidden one.
A
It was for this, like, Glenn Mor. Mor.
C
The.
B
The whiskey. Yeah, it's. It was for. What's his name?
C
Whiskey.
B
Harrison.
A
Big sips, bro. Yes. Atiba does the. The commercials for. He did, like, the campaign with Harrison Ford for the whiskey.
B
Oh, cool.
C
Are we talking about the whiskey or the scotch?
B
The scotch.
C
I think you just said Glenn Moring, which is like a. Isn't that like a show on hbo?
A
No, no, that was Garth. Garth Dark Places.
B
Hilarious.
A
Yeah, but no, it was just like this intimate, like, sort of dinner, like, kickback. And it was. It was just wild because it was like Harrison Ford and then Woody Harrelson, and then, weirdly.
C
Did you bring your own big sips?
A
Yeah, I brought sips. I passed sips out.
C
Yeah.
A
They're like, no, no.
B
How fun was that?
A
It was cool, dude. It was.
B
How was Harrison Ford?
A
Oh, bro. Honestly, at that point, having those two guys, Woody and Harrison, in the same, I'm like, who's cooler? It's, like, almost impossible to decide. Of those two guys, who is the cooler dude?
C
It's Harris. It's Harrison, dude.
A
Harrison's so rad, dude. He's so cool.
C
It's a slim margin.
B
That is so crazy that Woody was such a huge fan of Workaholics. So much so that he asked me to come to his house in Hawaii.
A
Yeah, you guys.
B
And I partied with him all night, and then I spent the night out at his house with his family, and then ate breakfast in the morning with him.
C
You, Vickers, Him.
B
And then years later, he came and visited the Righteous Gemstone set, and all those guys partied with him that weekend. But I was out of town, like, that one weekend.
A
Damn.
B
And I was like, oh, yeah. Did he mention me, like, being on the show? Because we're. We're friends. We've hung out before. And they were like, no, he never mentioned you once.
A
Dude, that's the thing. Look, no shade like that. You can mention things, but like I said, think he Lives at a really high clip. Like, he does super elite stuff, but also.
B
And it's always happening. Yeah. So me spend the night at his house. Very big deal. Me spend the night at his house for him. It's diamond does not at all.
C
Him spending a night at your house. Weird accident. Doesn't know.
A
That would have been crazy.
B
Crazy. He's in trouble from the.
C
He's hiding. Yeah. Yeah.
A
Also, he's the real deal, dude. Like, at the. That night, he was. He started. He lit a freaking. It wasn't even a joint. He's like, you know, we're going to be smoking weed. It was a fricking freaking. A freaking Thor's hammer, like, blunt. He brought out, dude. It was crazy.
B
Yeah.
A
So it got. It got very stony very quick.
B
And it was like, I gotta run
C
into Harrison because he went to college with my dad.
A
Oh, dude.
B
Did they know each other?
C
It's a very small school. I don't think they knew each other. I think my dad was kind of like the evil fraternity from Animal House.
A
Oh, yes.
C
And I think Harrison was like, a hippie at, weirdly, a school for evil Animal House fraternity guys. I think he, like, left. I don't know if he finished there, but I would love to drop that.
B
And he. He left and kept screaming your. Your dad's name as he left.
C
I think so.
A
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
C
But it was a school of only, like, I don't know, fucking, like, 2,000 kids or under 2,000. It's like a tiny college.
B
Yeah. He might. He might know your dad.
A
Yeah, could be.
B
That's crazy.
C
So.
A
Yeah, it's wild.
C
Have to throw that one out there.
B
Oh, that's just. That's a sick. That's a sick hang, Blake. And thanks for bringing up on the podcast. A lot of times, you'll do cool. And then it'll be after the podcast is over and you're like, dude, I. I ate lasagna with the edge from you two last night. We're like, why didn't you mention that? That would have been a cool thing to talk about.
C
I kissed Pharrell.
A
Right.
B
Right.
A
It was. It is pretty surreal. And it was weird, like, because we were just coming off of that. Netflix is a joke. Brunch had, like, crazy.
B
That was wild.
A
I don't like icons. These are, like, people that.
B

B

A
That brunch was wild. There was too many elite people there. It was insane. It was like impossible to. Even if you got in a conversation with somebody, you're kind of like, I feel guilty if I talk to you beyond three minutes because I know there's someone else you need to talk.
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
A
Did.
B
Did anyone ever just like, hard pivot away from you? Is anyone like, just turn around.
C
All right.
A
I thought you were. I thought you were serving John and Vinny's pizza, right?
B
Yeah. All right.
C
Someone just puts a napkin on your plate that you're eating off of, and they go, go, oh, no, that job.
B
No, I don't. I don't work here. Oh, you.
C
And then they go, oh, I'm sorry. I'll hook you up. Let's go meet the guy.
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, do you need a job?
A
Whose brother are you?
B
And it was at Ted Sarandos. It. It was at his house. We talked about this a little bit at. At Troubadour, so we don't need to beat a dead horse. But it was cool.

talk about a condition many people haven't heard of, and it turns out it's more common than you'd think. Peyronie's disease, or PD for short. PD can happen when scar tissue builds up under the skin of the penis.
C
This can cause a curve with a bump during an erection and for some men lead to pain during intimacy and may impact mental health. It may also lead to anger and frustration, depression, lowered self esteem, and even withdrawal from sexual activity and physical intimacy. Because of this, some men could feel embarrassed or reluctant to talk about pd.
A
The actual cause of PD isn't always known. In some cases, it may be linked to a minor injury or repeated injuries during sex or other physical activity. The good news is PD is treatable. If you notice a curve with a bump, a trusted urology specialist can help diagnose it and walk you through your options, including non surgical treatment. To learn more about Peyronie's disease, visit

B
Oh, my son did a funny thing yesterday. We were at dinner at this Mexican place down the street from my house and it's like a little hole in the wall Mexican spot woke. There's this. There's this old guy who I see skateboarding on the boardwalk and shit. And he's like old. He's probably 75 and he's got long white hair and he's really skinny and he always goes like this, man, and he talks like this and. And Bo looks up at him and just points and goes, ghost,
A
dude. That's for sure his nickname.
B
And he goes, ghost, Ghost. And then he goes, oh, no, scary.
C
Yeah, yeah.
B
And covers his eyes and I'm like, goodbye. Don't say ghost. Don't say ghost in front of this man.
C
Dude, is this guy like Iggy Pop body kind of thing?
B
Yeah, it was. Yes, that's exactly right. Just like Mel. Very keeper, but, you know, just gets barrel rolled.
A
Sure. Scoot, scoot, scoot. I feel.
C
I know.
A
Yeah. I feel like it was probably some like cool skate icon just like going down the street. Just like.
C
And Blake, how many years are we from you being ghost?
A
Hey, we'll see.
B
Blake's going to be ghost for sure because Blake has that lean body that once he. And. And he. He is already low in testosterone. So the muscle, the muscle for him, it's going to. When it goes, it goes quick, right? So I feel like I. Dude, I bet by mid-50s, you think I'm going
A
to be like scrawny.
B
Once your hair goes gray, you're going to lose your muscle and you're going to look like.
A
Dude, no, man, Anderson's. We hang on to our muscle, man. Late into life late.
C
Can you let me hang on to your muscle?
A
Anytime, brother.
C
Hang on, let me hang on. No, you.
A
No, you don't.
C
Yes.
A
Huh?
C
Dude, what are you talking about?
A
Yes. Huh? Bro, if you put on muscle, you. We. We keep it on.
C
Sorry, hang on a second. No, Blake's dad is a fit guy.
A
He's. He's not Skinny. He's not, like, gangly.
B
No, but you and your dad have different body types.
C
Same one.
A
Yeah, but it's still the same. Same. Yeah. Tell me about my father's body.
C
The amount that Adam can really probably go deep into this. This is fun for me.
B
Yeah. I'm. Hold up. I always. Any man I meet, I quickly scan his body. Yeah. I'm like, mesomorph. Endomorph.
C
Yep.
A
Right. No, like. But I get. Well, my dad's not that old, but, like, you're saying there's a point. Yeah, men get old. Anybody gets older, you just start to turn into, like, skin and bone.
B
Yeah, my dad is starting to look a little skin and bone.
C
Me.
B
He's been through some. Yeah, he's been dealing with stuff.
A
Yeah.
B
But I feel you specifically because you were skin and bones. Then you put on muscle in your 20s and 30s. You added muscle to your frame.
A
Do not come.
C
Completely change your body type.
B
But once you get in your. I mean, let's say 60s, 70s, bro.
A
I got bodies by.
B
And the alcohol. Alcoholism has. That's right. The alcoholism has taken its toll by this point. Then the skin and bones comes up.
A
What are you. Okay, okay.
C
I'm just saying, Blake was ready to be, like, what?
B
Alcohol? Okay.
C
Yeah.
B
Out of the three of us, you're the most likely to look like ghost.
A
I think you're just saying that because of the long white hair. I think I'm going to be.
B
Well, that. That will help. And also, you're a skinny person. Naturally.
C
Naturally.
B
Dur and I, we're gonna look like melted candles. We'll be those, like, fatter older guys.
C
When you see the albino gorilla with, like, the tits that just hang. The female.
B
Yeah, just like, the. The belly that, like, your tits sit on the belly. That's what we're gonna be. And you won't be that. You'll be painfully skinny, and that's okay.
A
I don't know. I don't know. I will say, for some reason, after the trueba. Dr. Door, you remember, I, like, did, like, kind of a. A silly, like, stage dive. My back hurt so bad. For two days after that, like, I was feeling.
B
Well, you broke your back?
C
Yeah. It's not even yours anymore.
A
No, usually I'm. I'm chill. Like, I don't have any sort of, like, Yamaha, you know, residual pain. But, like, for two days after that, I was, like, up, dude. Like, I had to.
C
Vickers didn't get you. She didn't hold you up.
A
Come on, Vickers. Next time, hold your boy up, dude.
B
Vickers. Vickers. Vickers, fam.
C
You gotta warm your back up before you do a stage dive at damn near 40.
B
That was a pretty bold. Dude, that was a bold stage dive.
A
Well, yeah, it was.
B
Because the Troubadour, that was our most intimate show to date for sure. There was a hundred, maybe a little more than that. Yeah, that's all that fit. It's not like we didn't sell tickets. It was a hundred cap and it sold out within minutes.
C
Adam.
B
So.
C
Okay.
B
No, it did. It sold out with it.
A
That would have sucked if we couldn't get.
B
It could sell out that Troubadour.
C
Some people did the bowl, but like,
A
might not be as good.
B
But we wanted. We actually were. I, I said to Isaac, I'm like, we should have done a bigger venue. Why didn't we do a bigger venue? But we were offered like a 2,000 seat theater downtown.
A
Right.
B
But it was the same night as like Chappelle doing the bowl or something.
A
Right.
B
And I was like, dude, we're not going to try to sell 2000 tickets. Gets while. While Chappelle's down the street.
A
I think that's also a. A thing about that whole festival is like so much stuff is going on, but LA is so spread out that it's, it's kind of. It's kind of hard to be everywhere at once. It's not like a South by Southwest where you're just walking down one street and every bar is something. That's why I think they need to kind of maybe like pick Sunset or Melrose and then just make that like the hub for it and shut the street off or something.
C
Something. Have you guys been paying attention to this fest in like previous years?
B
Not really.
C
Other than kind of didn't understand it as like a festival. Right. Like this year's. The first year, I was like, oh, like going to that party and being like, oh, everyone's here for this comedy festival.
B
Yeah.
A
Yes. Yes. Everybody's doing something.
C
I kind of just previously was like, yeah, there's some billboards around Netflix as a joke. But I didn't. I don't know.
A
Yeah, no, I, I think that. I think they're.
B
They really are picking up steam.
A
I feel like they're. They're planting the right seeds. Like it's fucking cool. Like so many comedians are in town.
C
They're making it an event. I mean, it's always been an event. I guess I just didn't realize it was an event.
B
Yes.
A
That made it very apparent that brunch, because you were like Holy shit. There is like 136 legit comics at
B
this thing and like 40 non legit comics. What?
A
Yeah, yeah. There are a few snoozers.
B
And Isaac, I mean, there was like Louis CK was there. He asked if he could jerk off in front of me.
A
Okay.
B
He took, he took me aside. He's like, I can't ask anyone else. It seems like you would, it seems like it'd be cool if I could just jerk off in front of you.
A
I was like, okay, that was interesting.
B
I, I, I said, I said, give it the old college try.
C
And then weirdly, right after that, he put a napkin on Blake's plate.
A
I don't stay up that much with, with what's going on in the CK universe, but I was a little bit like at the thing. I'm like, oh, holy. Bro is in the building.
C
He's really out here.
A
Okay.
B
He's out here at that point.
C
Yeah.
B
And he jerked off in front of me. I, I just said it.
C
Yeah.
A
And he's doing a live jerk off session.
B
It's one of his sets.
A
It's cool he chose you. It's definitely cool.
B
He just saw it in my eyes that I'd be fine with it, and I was. And so that's why it's not an issue.
C
Yeah.
A
Everybody's coming.
B
That's why I'm here.
A
So he's learned.
B
I said, give it the old college try. And he did. And it was.
C
When you guys go to a place like that where you are amongst the funniest and many. Do you guys like the dance of like, okay, I'm walking up to this person. Are we going to be funny with each other or are we just going to catch up and talk? Does it have to be bits or can it just be like, how are you?
B
I find for the most part it's not a bit off.
C
Really. Right.
B
That's what I found at that, that festival. It was, it was mostly like just catching up with people.
A
It wasn't a very funny event. I was like, not really laughing at that brunch.
C
You didn't like Ted's speech? I thought it was pretty funny, but go ahead.
A
Well, Ted said, said nice words, but it, yeah, it wasn't like a very hilarious event. That's what I was kind of like.
B
Well, that's what they, people don't understand about most, especially stand up comedians. They're not inherently happy people.
A
Yeah. They're all miserable.
B
They're all like, well, their lives, especially the, the comics that are of more our generation Our class or whatever, they're on the road all the time.
C
Yeah.
B
Like, this is. It was kind of a cool event because you did see, like, I know Theo and Nikki and Whitney Cummings and a lot of these people and Santino and Bobby Lee from when I started doing stand up. And I know them from, like, seeing each other in the comedy clubs now. We never ever see each other. So it was just like a way to, like, it was kind of cool to be like, oh, shit, we're all in the same room again.
C
I love that shit. That's why I miss LA as far as, like a community.
A
Yeah.
C
Well, everyone's gone everywhere. Even people who make movies are like, I was halfway around the world shooting a sitcom.
B
Yes, totally. Or I'm doing a game show in Ireland. You're like, oh, okay.
C
Makes sense.
B
Welcome back, welcome back.
C
What are you going to say? Yeah, anything important?
A
No, I don't even remember at this point. No, not at all. Okay.
C
You know, it's funny you say that though, Adam, is that I would say the actors and people with like an improv background are the people who come in with more of like the. And then the standups. Less so.
B
Yeah, yeah. Because I think the standups know, like, it's. This is what I do for a job like this. I. Craft material.
C
Improvisers are idiots. What are you. What are you saying?
A
Yeah, that's more just like. Well, a convert. There's a conversation is just improv. Okay. Like, that's really all it is. That's why the John Gabrises of the world are just the best.
C
Best.
B
I feel, for the most part, standups, especially standups of that ilk, are just more confident than an actor who is. Has. Is trying to get cast on a show. Right.
C
Yeah. But I guess where I'm coming from is like, people who do. Who have an improv background, they like playing with each other. Standups don't like it. They got their own thing.
B
Yeah. That's.
C
Even though I know people sit around after stand up shows and shoot the. And yeah, yeah, have a good time. But I, Yeah, I'm. As I think, as I think about
B
it, it's mostly just dunking on each other. That's why, like, comics don't get offended at like the roast jokes, because they're like, yeah, that's just backstage, we just.
A
We're just racist.
B
Yeah. And I maybe I take back maybe. Yeah, we're just racist. We're really. Backstage, we're just really racist.
C
Way back.
A
Just really racist.
B
Homophobic.
C
Really?
A
Yeah. We don't like anybody who's different.
B
Yeah.
C
You guys watched the roast, I assume.
B
I did not. I did not. Yet.
A
I did. Yes.
C
I'm still. I started it. I'm still watching it. It's 25 days long.
B
It's too long, man.
C
Shut up. It's just too long. And I think they. It was very funny. There's a lot of funny jokes. They gotta break it up with like pre taped sketches though they do think
A
a cutaway of sorts would be good.
C
Dude, you're just looking at this stage and you're seeing like, like the dead air hang in not a like cool way.
B
And did they. It was live, right? So I, at least on the Comedy Central roast, they could cut jokes that didn't. That weren't working. They could streamline it a little or like you're. They, you know, you cut to the crowd and suck some of that dead air out. So this is live. So things just like sort of hang there.
C
It's live. I think that they've got to have like a delay, certain amount of delay. Like a two minute delay.
A
I don't know, dude, like in case of what? Cuz they're saying the worst imaginable. Is it just if there's like a shooting in the stadium or some.
C
Yes.
A
Like what are you delaying for?
C
Yes.
B
Yeah, that's exactly right.
C
It's this. The whole delay is because on the news 30 years ago some guy blew his head off.
A
That is true.
C
I do recall Todd's like actually they Lucille Ball. Shut the up and drum.
B
Okay. Oh my God, I'm so tough. Sorry Todd.
C
I'm pissed now.
A
Wow, Todd just. Cuz you got him twice now. You're feeling the claw.
B
Takebacks. Apologies.
A
Take back.
C
Yeah. I take back saying shut up and drum. Todd, you stepped up and drums. We appreciated it. It was massive.
A
He did. We, we asked Todd to drum like 10 minutes before we started the show. And he's like, yeah, I could do it. And he sound freaking sick.
B
Well, here's. Can I dunk on Isaac real quick? That morning I woke up and I was like, what are the lyrics to Best Friends? I went and looked at the YouTube video.
C
That's a dunk on Isaac.
B
Allegedly we recorded 11 or sorry 19 years ago, which is so long. And. And I was, I was like, oh, a drum kicks in. And that's kind of when I know when to start singing. And it also fills the whole song out. And I go, well, we're at the Troubadour. That's a rock venue. We have to have drums. I call Isaac. I go, it was at 10am day of, day of, day of, day of. And I go, but we're not. The Show's not until 8.
C
Kind of a fire drill on your behalf.
A
Right, right, right.
B
That's 10 hours away. And I go, a little bit of a pinch, Isaac, we need a drum set. And he goes, o. I don't know if we're going to be able to do that. It's the first thing he says. And I go, huh? Why not? And he goes, well, it's the Troubadour, so I don't know if they're going to want a drum set. And I. I go, it's the Troubadour. That's what they do. And he goes, yeah, but there's so much paperwork that you have to fill out. This is almost verbatim. And he says, there's so much paperwork. And I go, isaac, just get a drum set. And he goes, okay, I'll try punk rock getting radical. And then obviously, 15 minutes later, he's like, yeah, dude, it wasn't a big deal at all. And then he says, I sometimes forget that this is Hollywood and if you want a drum set, you could just have a drum set. And I'm like, huh?
C
Yeah, he's been in Orange county too long.
B
Yeah, too long. So we got the drum set, and Todd, we were like, who's going to be our drummer? Are we going to have to find a drummer? And Todd stepped up and he was like, I got this one.
C
And then just so casually played really good drums.
A
Yeah, it's so cool.
B
That's the coolest.
A
After seeing that happen. And Todd just really man up on the skins like that. I'm like, it would be cool to
C
do man up on the skins.
A
Like, on your skin.
C
Go ahead.
A
Okay. Okay. Here you go. I'll give Adam points for that.
C
Yes. Points.
B
I've said funnier stuff earlier in the podcast, but.
A
Yeah, well, those are. That's delayed.
C
Different.
A
That's a tape delay.
B
Man up on your Peroni skin.
A
I would love. I would love for us to do, like, a Music Forward live show where we kind of like, really set it set aside.
B
Sometimes we do menergy. Yeah. We do the. The Wiz. The portal opens up and the Wizards come up.
A
Maybe the Dojo Bros show up.
B
Dojo Bros.
C
I'm just. I'm starting to imagine. Imagine Adam, the day of the performance, going online to look at the words for all these songs and going, we need a drummer. We need a xylophone. We need a pom poms disaster.
A
My guy.
B
Dude, menergy. I actually. Okay.
C
We need an owl for the wizards to help us.
B
I looked at. I looked at the best friends and then energy was right there. So I'd like listen to the menergy song.
A
Great.
B
It's a great song song. But we could not memorize those words
C
even on the day.
A
We would have to re. We would have to rehearse.
B
Would actually have to rehearse.
A
We would not be able to do day of. We would have to go like two days before any.
B
Any takebacks, any epic slams, any sick giveaways, any.
C
I think I took back my take back of my take back.
A
Yeah, that was.
B
I would like to take back me saying that Lucy K. Jerked off in front of me. It wasn't. It was near me. Shut the. It wasn't exactly in front of.
A
Of me. Allegedly. Allegedly. Betwixt.
B
Allegedly.
C
Todd. What does betwixt mean?
A
And I would like to just say to all my big sippers out there, you know, life. Life is a 16% alcohol beverage Wine cocktail. Sip it till you die. Sip, sip, hooray. Sip it till you die.

This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human.
Release Date: May 26, 2026
Hosts: Adam Devine, Anders Holm, Blake Anderson, Kyle Newacheck
Episode Theme: A freewheeling, comedic recap of their recent post-Troubadour live show, reflections on their show's journey to episode 300, devoted fan moments, music, recurring "important topics" (often ironically), and comic detours about aging, comedy community events, and penis-related health conditions.
Episode 300 celebrates the This Is Important podcast’s major milestone with a look back at their recent legendary live show at the Troubadour as part of the Netflix is a Joke Fest. The hosts riff on their experiences from the show, share memorable moments with fans and special guests, introduce running jokes and inside references, and veer off into typically irreverent discussions about everything from pre-mixed alcoholic beverages to comedic roast culture to the etymology of "college try"—all in their signature bantering style.
