Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Vibes, Mystery, and Podcast Personas

Timestamps: 03:09-07:16

• The hosts joke about changing up their public personas, with Ders wearing a hood and acting mysterious, sparking a spontaneous debate about the merits of being "mysterious" versus "opinionated" on an audio podcast.
• Adam: "For a podcast, I think the whole point is for people to know where you're coming from." (05:03)
• They riff on the challenges of expressing themselves and the push-pull between wanting to be enigmatic and sharing personal views.
• Memorable moment: Ders, dressed anonymously, inadvertently creates “10 minutes of content” by making the guys obsess over his look, leading to meta-jokes about algorithms and Netflix.

2. Reality TV Nostalgia and the Evolution of 'Jury Duty'

Timestamps: 08:14-15:33

• The group discusses the TV show "Jury Duty" and its new “Company Retreat” season, praising its behind-the-scenes brilliance and connections to former “Workaholics” collaborators.
• Adam shares an anecdote about binge-watching the show for an Emmy’s campaign.
• Blake: "They sent me, they sent me a pack…and it's actually kind of freaking good." (About the show's fictional hot sauce, 10:20)
• They recall the evolution of reality TV, referencing "The Joe Schmo Show," "Real World," "Road Rules," and reality personalities like Theo Von and The Miz.

3. Politicians, AI, and the LA Mayoral Race (Spencer Pratt Edition)

Timestamps: 16:44-23:01 & 26:14-31:31

• The team parodies the ludicrousness of the LA mayor race, with Spencer Pratt at the center—a former reality star now running with bizarre AI-generated campaign ads.
• Adam: "His campaign videos are insane. It’s just AI shit...and then it’ll just be AI actors in the video…” (17:39)
• They lament the collapse of political "decorum" and the blurring lines between politics, entertainment, and viral moments.
• Blake jokes about the state of debates: “It might as well just be a roast. Like it doesn’t matter if it’s politicians or comedians.” (18:05)
• Hilarious hypothetical: Running as a "three-headed mayor" — all three hosts sharing the role (27:08-27:54).
• They compare other mayor races (like NYC's Curtis Sliwa, the Guardian Angels founder) and muse about the loss of trustworthy, competent candidates.

4. The AI Takeover: Perils, Porn, and Existential Dread

Timestamps: 32:28-43:01

• The guys spiral into the implications of advanced AI: skepticism, its everyday infiltration, and its darker sides, like AI-generated OnlyFans models and AI porn.
• Ders draws comparisons to the pandemic and vaccines: “It’s like a reverse vaccine…The idea for combating AI is for no one to do it. But everyone’s like, well, I want to do it.” (33:39)
• They debate who is really benefiting from AI and the tech industry, noting that everyday creators aren't being “cashed out” for their contributions.
• Adam: "My sister…is training AI to take her job." (35:40)
• Slapstick sci-fi: A wild tangent about AI building Terminator-style robots, leading to a future war between humans and machines.
• Blake: “They're gonna have us lined up and they're gonna just start peeling our buttholes off like scratchers.” (39:15) [Entire group cracks up at the disturbing/funny image]

5. AI Art, NFTs, and Masks—Where Weird Tech & Culture Collide

Timestamps: 47:32-53:39

• Discussion pivots to digital art and NFTs, with stories about Beeple’s $69 million NFT windfall and the now-busted NFT hype bubble.
• Ders: “Wouldn’t smart people go, I’ll give it right back to you. But we’ve created the idea that this stuff is actually selling, and people go, I want to be [in it].” (49:16)
• They riff on hyperrealistic masks and costumes, their high cost, and implications for identity in a world of digital avatars. Blake aspires to be a frog with a top-tier mask.

6. Artifacts of Childhood: Books and Formative Reading

Timestamps: 61:03-63:40

• Conversation gets surprisingly earnest, as the hosts exchange memories of childhood novels like "The Giver," "Hatchet," and "White Fang," and what those stories meant to them.
• Blake: “The Giver has big concepts.” (62:49)
• They marvel at how formative books can be—even to those reluctant to read as kids.

7. Closing: Political Responsibility & The Appeal of Viral Mayors

Timestamps: 64:21-67:31

• Final thoughts revolve around political responsibility, the risk of treating voting like a joke, and what it would be like if they all ran for office.
• "My whole thing is like, our smart head is Ders…and I feel like…you could put all three of us together, and we're as good as Spencer Pratt." —Blake (27:43)
• The hosts consider supporting a friend—"John Logsdon"—who worked on their show and is running for mayor, humorously noting that "you could just run for mayor."
• Blake: "I'm voting for Logs, Dawn." (67:31)
• The episode wraps with indecision and collective laughter about who they'd actually support.

[Blake]

what's up y'?

[Adam]

All?

[Blake]

Summer's got a different tempo. Everything's a little looser, brighter.

[Ders]

One plan turns into another. You hear something, you stay a little longer. Next thing you know, you're somewhere you didn't plan to be. It's those in between moments.

[Blake]

That's where the ideas hit. Conversations stretch out. Little memories.

[Ders]

Memories sneak up on you.

[Blake]

Sometimes it's just about what's in your hand. That color, that chill. The new Tropical Butterfly Refresher from Starbucks. Guava and passion fruit flavors with mango pineapple flavored pearls. Yeah, that feels like summer before you even taste it.

[Ders]

Funny how one small stop becomes the

[Blake]

best part of the day. Start your summer rhythm with Starbucks. Try the new Tropical Butterfly Refresher from Starbucks.

[Kalpen]

Listen to Earsay, the Audible and iHeart audiobook club on the iHeartradio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Adam]

Welcome to this Is Important, a production of iHeartRadio, the show where we talk about what's obviously most critically, crucially important. Today on this Is Important.

[Blake]

It's getting harder. And it's only gonna get harder. And I'm only gonna get harder.

[Adam]

Build it and I will come.

[Ders]

I don't understand why all the AI Po. Everything has a dick.

[Adam]

Let's go.

[Blake]

It's that time again.

[Adam]

Welcome back.

[Blake]

Hey, everybody. Time to go big. It's time to go big.

[Adam]

Two episodes in a row, man.

[Blake]

Big. It's not stopping. This is a lifestyle for all my big sippers out there. It's time to go big. Time to go big.

[Adam]

That's okay. Another day, another sips with a Z. Still not getting paid. Still not getting paid.

[Blake]

Go big, everybody. Everybody keep going big. Okay.

[Adam]

Oh, my gosh.

[Ders]

He does it for the love of the art and the children.

[Adam]

What flavor that was? Durst, I know you're waiting for someone to ask you what's going on over there, so I guess we'll get it

[Blake]

out of the way, right?

[Adam]

Up top.

[Blake]

You look very anonymous. What's going on? Are you.

[Adam]

What's. What's going on?

[Blake]

You're starting to hack people's computers or.

[Ders]

Yeah, actually, didn't even need you to bring it up, but.

[Blake]

What? It's science.

[Ders]

I guess it's too late.

[Adam]

Yeah. What. What is going on?

[Blake]

Are you good? You good? Or are you trying on the mysterious vibe?

[Ders]

Sometimes you just got to switch things up. You know what I mean?

[Blake]

Honestly? Dur. I feel this. I feel this. I've been thinking. I want to start to pivot to a little more mysterious. Like, I feel like I'm too out there. It's, like, coming off a little dorky. Maybe getting.

[Ders]

We agree.

[Adam]

Yeah, maybe, like.

[Blake]

Maybe, like, introspect a little bit.

[Ders]

We're right there with you.

[Blake]

Yeah. Maybe it's time to just say less, you know?

[Ders]

But, like.

[Adam]

No, Blake, you. You're saying. You're saying so less. Okay, you hardly ever talk.

[Ders]

I'm giving you a chance.

[Adam]

Well, you talk, but you don't have opinions on things, so you'd be like, ah, it's fine.

[Blake]

Yeah, I talk way more than I. Than I would like to. I'd like to be very mysterious. I'd like people not to really know where I'm coming from, you know? Like, really.

[Adam]

I guess. I mean, for a podcast. I think the whole point is for people to know where you're coming from.

[Blake]

I don't know. I'm. I might take a oath of silence. Who knows?

[Ders]

Here's a look.

[Adam]

Okay, so it's just.

[Blake]

It's just you're 200.

[Adam]

What? Dude, please explain. You can't just keep doing this.

[Blake]

Goodbye.

[Adam]

If you're watching this on Netflix, maybe you understand what's going on. I'm watching it right now, and I don't. And if you're listening.

[Ders]

You have.

[Adam]

You truly have no idea.

[Blake]

Well, it's.

[Ders]

He's wearing fully hooded, and this is just a perfect example of Adam just not having control. He doesn't understand it. He has to call it out.

[Blake]

He doesn't allow us to be mysterious. Why do we have to be so opinionated and out there?

[Ders]

How about I be me, you be you. Bada bing, bada boom. Forget about it.

[Adam]

I want to ride.

[Blake]

That's true, dude. Well, he does have a point. If all three of us just put

[Ders]

on a fucking windbreaker. I'm sorry, what were you wearing the other day with the giant fucking hat? I just have the hood up because I do.

[Adam]

Yeah, but you were very quiet. You're being all mysterious. I just wanted to know, like, is there a backstory to this mysterioso complex that you have?

[Blake]

He's just vibing.

[Ders]

Oh, Mr. Hollywood Executive. It doesn't need a backstory. It just is what it is.

[Blake]

He's just vibing. There's no mythology, but Adam is right. If we're all mysterious, it will be a pretty boring podcast because it is audio. Unless you're watching on Netflix, which we support that.

[Adam]

In which case it still might be

[Blake]

a boring podcast if we're all just kind of quiet.

[Adam]

All just quiet, being mysterious, sort of brooding.

[Ders]

So do you need the hood down?

[Adam]

I don't need that. You get. No, no, you keep the hood up. I just didn't know if you were doing, like, a bit or a character this episode or, like, what you were doing.

[Ders]

I. I had a character, but forget it now. That's right.

[Adam]

It seemed like you had a character and were ready to go with something because you catch doing, like, this, and, like, yeah, you are like, oh, is he a boxer?

[Ders]

I think I just was here. That's what it is.

[Adam]

Yeah, you were, like, not showing your eyes, but then you kind of were doing, like, little jabs.

[Blake]

And also, he's doing. Yeah, you don't wear hoods a lot. You're, like, not really a hoodie guy. You kind of just like collars or windbreaker. No hood.

[Ders]

All right, so, you guys, this is the mastermind behind. We got. We got to talk about something. I put up a hood. Now suddenly you guys can't shut up, and we got 10 minutes in the bank.

[Blake]

Gotcha, bitch.

[Ders]

Okay.

[Blake]

Wow. Thank you, thank you, thank you for that premium content. This is real mud.

[Adam]

You're.

[Ders]

Well, this is what Netflix.

[Adam]

Why? Why? They shelled out the cash for us so we could be on their platform. They're Like, I hope Ders puts on a hood and it doesn't say much. This is important.

[Blake]

God damn, that shit's important.

[Ders]

Adam. The. The brilliance is, Adam. They would have never thought of it.

[Adam]

Yeah, that's true.

[Blake]

Oh, God, of course not.

[Ders]

This is what I bring to the table.

[Adam]

The algorithm. The algorithm would not have thought of that. It would not have thought of that.

[Blake]

The goddamn algorithm.

[Ders]

And by the way, don't you kind of want to watch a podcast where a guy looks like this the whole time? Like, see ya.

[Blake]

It. Wait, you know.

[Ders]

You know Sia, her hair just is like this.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Blake]

Oh, oh, yes. You're speaking of the artist Sia, who had like that huge bang. Crazy. Yeah. What happened to Sia?

[Ders]

Yeah, I'm talking about freaking Sia.

[Adam]

Well, she was just on an episode of. Of Company Retreat. What?

[Blake]

Wait, what?

[Adam]

Jury Duty. Company Retreat.

[Blake]

Oh, did she pull up?

[Ders]

Freaking.

[Adam]

See, she pulled up in the episode. Yeah. Dude, you got.

[Blake]

I haven't watched the new season.

[Adam]

Oh, you got to watch it. It's great.

[Blake]

You loving it. Really? You're. You're a fan.

[Adam]

I actually. Jake Samansky, who directed every. Every. Every episode.

[Blake]

Yes. We love him.

[Adam]

He asked me to host there. They're like Emmy's campaign.

[Blake]

Okay.

[Adam]

Brunch or whatever. It was.

[Blake]

Yeah.

[Adam]

Sick. It was like at the roof of this hotel and it was really nice. And I hosted.

[Blake]

Were there big sips there?

[Adam]

Big sips that had to have been there. I didn't see them. But any great establishment has big sips ready to go.

[Ders]

Okay, cool, cool, cool.

[Blake]

Go off king.

[Adam]

But yeah, so I watched. I binge watched all of it. And then there's also like behind the scenes stuff that you can watch Amazon.

[Kalpen]

It was.

[Adam]

It was really.

[Blake]

It.

[Adam]

It was cool. I don't want to give anything away,

[Ders]

cuz it is like a. It is a. It's a marvel what they pull off.

[Blake]

Yeah, it's hilarious.

[Adam]

So the premise is Jury Duty was the first season on Amazon and it was essentially they're jurors and they. Everyone's in on the bit. Everybody actor. Except for one guy. And so the. The. Even the judge is an actor. Yeah, coincidentally, Ike Barinholtz's dad, which is so cool.

[Blake]

He's such a cool guy.

[Adam]

So then the crime obviously is all fake and. And they made it crazy and it was really, really good. So then you're like, are they gonna do. It's called Jury Duty. Are they going to do it again? So what they. What they did. Which was smart. It's still Jury Duty, but It's jury duty, company retreat. And it's this company. It's this hot sauce company. Rockin Grandma's hot sauce.

[Blake]

They just sent me, dude, I, I got it. I got it. They sent me, they sent me a pack and it's actually kind of freaking good.

[Adam]

Have you tried it? I did not bust it open yet. Yes.

[Ders]

I put some on some tacos the other day.

[Blake]

There's four different flavors. I kind of like the smoky one. I'm like, this is legit.

[Adam]

I will give up one joke and I hope it doesn't ruin it for anyone, but just watch the damn thing. But there's a rock and grandma. They're like doing this big presentation to the investors and the rocking grandma is supposed to like rock out on the guitar, but then it just looks like she's jerking off when the hand movement.

[Blake]

So she's just going like, dude, hey. I already love it. I already love it. Dude.

[Adam]

It's fantastic.

[Blake]

I'm about to tap in the whole season.

[Adam]

So for this, instead of a juror, it is a intern at their, their company retreat. Their company. And they're about to do a company retreat and they're going to be taken over by a larger company. And then they, you know, so it's, there's a lot going on, but it's much larger in scale than the jury duty. So it was cool.

[Blake]

Yeah. But they, they, they switch out the whole cast too. Like everybody's new and all that. It's got to be. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ders]

Gotta be.

[Blake]

That's.

[Ders]

They blew up their spot. It's like punked.

[Blake]

Yeah. Or like even like before that kind of like this similar idea. Do you remember what was it like the Joe Schmo show? Do you remember that?

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake]

Yep.

[Adam]

Brian Keith Etheridge.

[Blake]

Yes. It was like a fake.

[Adam]

Wrote it or co created it or something.

[Blake]

He was.

[Ders]

And also I think Kristen Wiig was on it.

[Adam]

Kristen.

[Ders]

Yeah. I say wig.

[Blake]

I think it might be Kristen Wiig.

[Adam]

Is it?

[Blake]

We think it might be week. It might be. Wig.

[Adam]

Kristen. Wig.

[Ders]

You say Kristen Wiig. There's two eyes, isn't it?

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Blake]

Bke. He was the showrunner and starred. Who also Brian Keith Etheridge, also a writer on Workaholics.

[Adam]

That's right. That's right.

[Blake]

He was the showrunner of the Joe Schmo show. Yeah.

[Adam]

Was that on Spike? Comedy Central or where was that?

[Ders]

Spike.

[Blake]

Spike.

[Adam]

Spike tv.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Adam]

They know dudes.

[Blake]

Like, dude, that was, that was like old school reality show. I, I watched the first episode of the very first Real World the other day sure pulled it up because I'm like, what the hell was it?

[Ders]

Are you a drug dealer? Dude?

[Blake]

It is crazy to go back and watch.

[Ders]

Is that the first episode where her. She's got a pager and then like, are you a drug dealer? She's like, that's racist. You're from the country.

[Blake]

Yeah, she's like, from. Yeah, she's from. Yeah, she's from Tennessee or something.

[Ders]

Do you guys know how old I am? Yeah.

[Adam]

D. I mean, the fact that Dur knows every. Every part of those first few seasons, Heather B.

[Ders]

Is a legend.

[Blake]

It is wild that you just pulled that, like, out of nowhere like this.

[Ders]

The commercial aired constantly where she's like, are you a drag dealer?

[Blake]

It's kind of crazy, though, like, because reality TV has gone through such a. Like a evolution or de Evolution, if

[Ders]

you really want to put my hood back on.

[Blake]

Even then, you can tell the shit was still pretty scripted. They're like, oh, like, let's. Let's plant this moment so that they. They, they. They talk about this or whatever. But, like, it's really cool to go back and watch that stuff because it's such a time capsule.

[Ders]

What's a little white country girl's name? Eric Nese was Bout. Bout her.

[Adam]

Yeah. And I might have talked about this on another podcast, but I was a Road Rules guy.

[Blake]

Yeah, Road Rules rocked.

[Adam]

Rules rocked. Just because it was sick. They're like, all in this rv. They're on, like, a little road trip together. It was cool.

[Blake]

Yeah, he's the babe.

[Ders]

Now they're running our country. Yeah.

[Adam]

And Spencer Pratt, he was a Road Rules.

[Blake]

No, he's not on it.

[Adam]

Sorry.

[Ders]

I wish.

[Adam]

No, but the first time I saw Theo Vaughn.

[Blake]

Oh, that's right.

[Adam]

He was in Road Rules. And when I met him at the Comedy store, like, almost 20 years ago now, I was shook.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Adam]

I was like, holy shit.

[Blake]

Oh, yeah.

[Adam]

He was like a true star.

[Ders]

And he was like a baby.

[Blake]

He was a show.

[Ders]

Yeah, he was 18 or something, right?

[Adam]

Yeah, yeah, he was.

[Blake]

He was a young buck.

[Ders]

It was him. It was the blonde dude with the big hair, cat Kit. Kit, who's now a host on, like, Extra or some shit.

[Blake]

Dude, not everybody, but you'd be surprised.

[Adam]

Miz, I think the Miz.

[Blake]

Yeah, the Miz was definitely from.

[Ders]

There was the Miz Road Rules? No, the Miz was. But Miz was Real World. Was he? I think so.

[Blake]

He might have been Real World. Real World. Road Rules All Stars. Who knows?

[Ders]

I think he. I feel like he would walk around A house in, like, the costumes. That's all I can picture.

[Adam]

He was real world Isaac sane.

[Ders]

Yeah. Yeah. Was los. In the first season of Road Rules where he's like, I don't have to do but stay black and die. I was like, this dude's cool.

[Adam]

That is tight.

[Blake]

There's a lot. There's a lot of very legendary.

[Adam]

And that was like, when he said that. I remember when he said that. I thought he was the first person to ever say that.

[Ders]

Right.

[Blake]

Oh, wait, he didn't.

[Adam]

Because, you know, I was. I was a kid. So you're like, oh, my God. Like, that's so cool to say.

[Ders]

Like, it was Paul Mooney, though. Yeah.

[Adam]

Yeah. And for sure wasn't.

[Ders]

No.

[Adam]

Yeah. So I guess that's the trick to go on a reality show and then you just sort of repeat really iconic. Really fame. Iconic. Famous bits from stand up comedians.

[Ders]

Somebody stop me.

[Adam]

And then you're not saying you're the only one to ever say that, but you're.

[Blake]

I just want a party. Yeah, you just do our soundboard. Yeah. Loose butthole. Yeah.

[Ders]

It's just iconic.

[Adam]

What is the one that my dad says? Cowabunga.

[Blake]

How do you not know the. The most iconic drop.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Blake]

Of 2026, dude.

[Adam]

Kumbaya. Kumbaya.

[Ders]

It's a good.

[Blake]

That one is flame. Your dad is a human soundboard. It's pretty.

[Adam]

He is. He. It's nothing but soundboard bits with that guy. Trying to have a heart to heart is hard with him. Dad, I just want to let you know that I. I love you so much. And having you and mom here, it means the world to me that you guys want to spit. Kumbaya. Tight butthole.

[Ders]

Okay, Adam, are you a resident of la or are you a resident of Orange County?

[Adam]

I'm a resident of both places.

[Blake]

Go off king. Go off king.

[Ders]

But who do you vote for? Like, what's your main residence?

[Blake]

Oh, we're talking voting. Let's go, bro.

[Adam]

I think we. We split the diff. It's a. It's a house. House divided.

[Blake]

Oh.

[Adam]

So I think I am in Orange County. My vote, and I think Chloe's vote is in la, so she gets to

[Ders]

put one in for our guy.

[Blake]

Who's. Who's our guy?

[Adam]

Who's our guy?

[Ders]

I think you know who's our guy?

[Blake]

Who's our guy? Pratt.

[Ders]

It's time for a Pratt fall. I watched the debates.

[Blake]

Pratt needs to fall, bro.

[Ders]

I turned on the debates. I thought the. I thought it was the roast.

[Blake]

I'll tell you, there's no difference anymore.

[Ders]

It's crazy.

[Adam]

His campaign videos are insane. It's just AI shit. And you're like, we need to bring, you know, the entertainment business back to L. A. And then it'll just be.

[Blake]

I agree, agree.

[Adam]

I agree, yes. But then it'll just be AI actors in the video of him being like, we got to bring the entertainment business back to l. A.

[Blake]

Science.

[Adam]

It's an all a video.

[Blake]

It actually, it is crazy. Like, you are right. Everything is so, like, nothing is more elevated than the next, like, the governor. Like, all the shit. It might as well just be a roast. Like, it doesn't matter if it's politicians or comedians. Everybody is operating at the same wavelength right now. Nobody feels like, smart or elevated on TV anymore. Like, it's kind of a bummer, I

[Adam]

think, a little bit, because there's no decorum. They used to.

[Ders]

There's no decorum.

[Adam]

They used to, like, respect each other.

[Blake]

Shout out a points for decorum.

[Adam]

Yes, points.

[Ders]

And for x and for extra points, spell decorum.

[Blake]

Decorum.

[Adam]

D E C O U R M. Okay, Todd.

[Bowen Yang]

All right.

[Adam]

Is that right, Todd?

[Ders]

Yeah. Points.

[Adam]

Todd.

[Blake]

Todd.

[Adam]

D E C O R U M. I said urm. I might have it up.

[Blake]

Hey.

[Ders]

Yes. Yes. Points.

[Blake]

You got him. Anyways, man, you were in the wheelhouse.

[Adam]

I don't know. I don't know if I said yeah or not, honestly. No, there's so far, there's no way to tell. We're not recording, are we?

[Blake]

We're in a bizarre.

[Ders]

Pull the hood up.

[Blake]

Yeah, put the hood back on.

[Ders]

Yeah, we're in a bizarre time. But also, it's just like, when people are smart, they're told to talk, like, dumb. Like, simplify. Yeah, that's it, Adam.

[Blake]

Yeah, get it.

[Ders]

And so it's like a lose, lose. You either have to, like, talk like an idiot from the schoolyard or you're.

[Blake]

Nah, man.

[Adam]

That Spencer Pratt, by the way, like, I mean, he's so dumb sounding.

[Ders]

It's crazy.

[Blake]

Holy charge. Let's go.

[Adam]

He just. He just is.

[Blake]

He would fit, right? Definitely. Yes. He's definitely us.

[Adam]

Like, I know.

[Ders]

It makes me kind of want to run and go. Yeah, no, me too.

[Blake]

You could YouTube a better councilman.

[Adam]

Dude.

[Ders]

He says he's gonna do this. I'm gonna do it better and faster. Yeah, you do a really good impression.

[Adam]

You did it the other day.

[Ders]

I look just as tired as he does. That looks tired.

[Blake]

Yeah.

[Adam]

And he's just like. No, it's always. He's a little out of breath when he's when he's talking, dude.

[Blake]

Because he's worked up. He's passionate.

[Adam]

No, Karen Bass, she's an idiot.

[Ders]

And it's.

[Adam]

I wouldn't be. I'd get in there and I'd fix the problems. There's homeless people all over the streets just lighting fires and injecting.

[Blake]

He's right.

[Adam]

Injecting their eyeballs with Superman.

[Ders]

Super meth was an eye opener.

[Blake]

That's a Robocop.

[Adam]

If I were. If I were the mayor, that wouldn't even happen. Saying you're like, well, how. How would it not happen? It wouldn't. I'd fix it.

[Blake]

She made it been.

[Ders]

But how would you change it? I'll tell you what I wouldn't do. What she did. What she do, she didn't do.

[Adam]

Yeah, dude.

[Blake]

Dude.

[Adam]

And then. And then people that are like, finally someone speaking the truth. And you're like, what?

[Ders]

That's the wildest part.

[Blake]

Here's when I'll know we've hit the peak. During the debates when homegirl's talking, Spencer puts the mic up to his ass and just goes right in the mic, dude. And it'd be like, everybody like, oh,

[Ders]

they would be like, gotcha. They would be. You know what? It's like breathing air in Los Angeles right now.

[Adam]

That's funny, though. So he might.

[Blake]

I know I. I would vote off that viral moment. Sometimes you got to vote off the viral moment, dude.

[Adam]

Baby.

[Ders]

It is wild. It. And I'm. I have no time for this. But it does make me want to do, like a real life comedy sketch going, I would actually do what he would do too. But a different. And everyone would be like, oh, I get what he's doing. And Spencer does seem kind of stupid now. Like, the fact that nobody goes, what are this dude's qualifications? And look, I don't know what he's been up to. What's he been up to?

[Blake]

Sure.

[Adam]

He refuses to tell us.

[Kalpen]

I don't know.

[Ders]

I guess I just. I don't even know. I know he was on tv, but I just don't even know if he's had to delegate, like, any sort of responsibility to people working for him on any scale. I don't know what he's been up to.

[Blake]

That's my thing.

[Ders]

He's got a sick Airstream. And that's all I know is that if I had to get one of those, it'd be an airstream. But they're $200,000.

[Blake]

I take comfort. I like when, like, people are smarter than me. I'm like, Hyped on when my leaders, like, I'm like, oh, shit.

[Adam]

Like you, obviously everyone you go to the grocery store, just anyone.

[Blake]

The manager at the grocery store.

[Adam]

Not even the manager. The kid that you're like, hey, man, where's.

[Blake]

No, no, no, no. Where's the peanut butter? And he's like, we're equals, bro. We're equal.

[Ders]

Okay.

[Blake]

I'm like, you moved that, didn't you? Dude, I. And I saw how you kept the. The labels, like, kind of crooked. That was.

[Ders]

It's like, you see this? It's called beaver mustard. Okay.

[Blake]

Yo, come over here, dude.

[Ders]

Kids like, oh, my God, dude.

[Blake]

You know, big sips is kind of like buzz balls. Yeah.

[Adam]

You asked for peanut butter. But he's like, I actually know what you really want. You're right.

mom, can I have Lingokids?

[Adam]

Dad, Lingokids, please.

[Ders]

When did we become the Lingokids house?

[Blake]

No idea.

[Adam]

Last week it was dinosaurs.

[Ders]

This week it Lingokids. Why Lingokids?

[Blake]

Because it's the best thing ever. We can play games with astronauts, wild animals and superheroes.

[Ders]

nobody likes when a question is asked and a politician goes, well, I can't say yes or no. It's complicated. And they get into like a 10 minute diatribe that covers all their bases.

[Blake]

It's a yes or no. It's a yes or no.

[Ders]

And he goes, he answered yes or no. Which is refreshing to people who just want a simple answer right. But that doesn't mean his answer is right.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Blake]

Yes. Yeah, yeah, you're right. You're right.

[Adam]

Because there are questions that there are no yes or no's because it's too complicated.

[Blake]

It's nuanced. It's nuanced.

[Ders]

Nuance is great, but I do nuance.

[Adam]

But it's a decorum.

[Blake]

Ask me to spell nuance. I don't even know where to begin.

[Adam]

There has to be a decorum to this nuance.

[Ders]

And I don't want to get into the fucking nuance either. Like there's a. There's a certain scale where all of a sudden. Too much nuance.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Ders]

Looking at him now, I'm like, how? How?

[Adam]

Dude, why didn't we also run a three headed monster?

[Blake]

Can we run as three people?

[Adam]

Dude, can we run the three of us? Mayor. And we'll call ourselves the super mayor.

[Ders]

This is jury duty season three.

[Blake]

It would be tight. Dude, three headed mayor.

[Ders]

Oh, yeah.

[Adam]

Where one of us lacks in skill, the other also lacks in skill.

[Blake]

Yeah. My whole thing is like our smart head is Ders and I feel like.

[Adam]

And he's. And he can't tell time.

[Ders]

Let's give it the old college try. N. Grandma.

[Blake]

I. You could put all three of us together and we're as good as Spencer Pratt.

[Adam]

No, I would say we're probably better than Spencer.

[Blake]

You go toe to toe with him.

[Adam]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Blake]

Okay. Okay.

[Ders]

What are we doing here? Here's what I'll say. He. He like, he remembered, like, memorized like seven facts. I think I'm good for two or three.

[Blake]

Yeah.

[Ders]

I can't do numbers.

[Blake]

It's science.

[Adam]

Yeah, you are really bad at memorization, which is your main job. So you might have to work on that improv.

[Blake]

Like, is every. Is every debate this year this late? Is all the, like, people, like, trying to become mayors in every county, like, fucking this cool?

[Adam]

No, no, no. This la. This cool.

[Ders]

Like sad.

[Adam]

LA1 is rock and roll, extra nuts. Yeah, right.

[Ders]

But like, is it. I mean, dude, the New York one had a. There's the memory, a guardian angel dude. Oh, Who I actually thought made some sense.

[Kalpen]

Which.

[Blake]

What?

[Ders]

I was like, this guy. This guy kind of is fed up and he gets it in a way that's even like he makes Spencer Pratt like. Or Spencer Pratt makes him seem like a genius.

[Blake]

Right.

[Ders]

That's what's wild. So the other guys, like, been around, lived, started Guardians Angels. That's kind of sick.

[Adam]

And Guardians Angels. Remind me. They were like the guys with the red jackets in the subway.

[Blake]

No, they wore like red berets and like tank tops and. Yeah, they looked like. It basically looked like the warriors movie.

[Adam]

Yes. If you have any trouble in the subway system in the 80s when it was really dangerous, they were essentially like

[Ders]

vigilantes who were like.

[Blake]

Yes.

[Ders]

We walk around and if people are around and like hassling you, we'll step to them.

[Adam]

Yeah, we'll you up Curtis Sliwa. Silwa.

[Blake]

It was Jojo Sliwa's uncle. Hold up.

[Adam]

Jojo Siwa.

[Blake]

Yeah, that's right. That's right, that's right. No, she's cool, dude.

[Adam]

No, she isn't.

[Ders]

But like, that dude had lived life, had done a thing not.

[Adam]

She's the worst.

[Ders]

Loved it.

[Blake]

Well, that's dope. Yeah.

[Adam]

Also, I don't know. I don't know if he should be the mayor, you know, I just want some.

[Ders]

Where's.

[Adam]

Where's our just smart old guys or women?

[Ders]

Well, dude, this is. What's so fascinating to me is that we on the guy who makes all the malls so hard cuz we're like that guy.

[Adam]

What do we want?

[Ders]

Fountains everywhere. I'm like, fountains have been in LA long before at his malls. But now that guy seems kind of good. This is what happens. We push away people who are like, like kind of not our favorite. And then we end up with absolute knuckleheads. And then we go, where's the mall guy? And the mall guy's like, you think I'm going to do this again?

[Adam]

He's like, I'm not, I'm not running.

[Blake]

I. What do you mean? I made up Dave and Busters in Torrance.

[Ders]

That is what he. That is what he said. Yeah, it's wild, dude.

[Adam]

Spencer Pratt also had a video where he's like, I'm talking to engineers. I'm talking to like the smartest engineer. And he has a crew of like 15 other engineers. And they left LA cuz it's too hard. Hard to build here. I'm going to get rid of all those restrictions by the what? While he's doing this interview, there's an AI video playing and. And it's of a futuristic city of LA that of like buildings that maybe can't even be built because they're from the future. He's like, and we're gonna do like really cool stuff that you won't see anywhere else.

[Ders]

And you'll be like, it's just Shrek.

[Adam]

It'll be like, people will come here and be like, this is the most beautiful city in the world. Cool architecture. And then in the comments, it's like, way to go. Yes. Make our city beautiful again. And I'm like, it's wild.

[Blake]

It's science.

[Adam]

It's an AI video, you dumb. It's like all my parents.

[Ders]

Yeah, who?

[Adam]

It's, you know, it's like my, my dad will watch a video. My parents, it's. It's my. All of our parents, right? They watch these videos and they can't tell it's AI. Yeah, my dad will watch like fishing videos and it's just like a guy catching a Megalodon. And my dad's like, Jesus Christ, look at this. I'm like, yeah, dad, that's not real, obviously.

[Blake]

Well, this is where it gets dangerous because like now like my stepdad's kind of getting, getting hip to it. So he's like, now when he watches videos, he's like, that one was AI. And I'm like, I actually, I don't think that one was AI.

[Ders]

Right, right, right. They try and get ahead of it.

[Blake]

I think that one was real, dude.

[Adam]

That one was Real.

[Blake]

I. I think. I think that was a true life thing happening there.

[Adam]

Well, what's crazy is my mom can't tell. It'll be like the kind of AI where their mouths never really shut, you know? And you could just tell when they're talking. And my mom is like. I'm like, jesus.

[Blake]

So.

[Adam]

AI. And my mom is like, how can you tell? And I'm like, because their mouth doesn't shut properly.

[Blake]

Because they have 800 teeth.

[Ders]

Because they're looking into the camera like this.

[Blake]

Yeah, no, it's getting. It's getting harder. And it's only gonna get harder.

[Adam]

It is, is it?

[Blake]

And I'm only gonna get harder.

[Adam]

Now we're.

[Blake]

Because when you get the AI AI porno. No, it's. The future is going to be. If there is.

[Adam]

The future is gnar.

[Blake]

It will be so gnar. It will be so.

[Ders]

I just don't understand why people want this so bad.

[Adam]

What AI?

[Ders]

Yeah, yeah.

[Adam]

No one wants AI. Only the people building AI want AI. The rest of us are going.

[Ders]

Everyone wants it. People are all using it.

[Adam]

Because now that it's here, if you don't.

[Blake]

Yeah, exactly. If you don't want it, why do we use it? But that is this. That's what happens nowadays. It's like we. We all are like, ah, I don't like it. But then, like, people still use it.

[Ders]

You're buying it. We're buying into it.

[Blake]

Like, you have to say, I don't like it, I'm not going to use it.

[Adam]

That's.

[Ders]

And then the theory is, well, if you're not using it, you're going to get left behind because everyone else is going to use it and get whatever work you're doing done in 10 minutes instead of 10 hours.

[Blake]

Yeah, but fuck that.

[Ders]

And so it reminds me of the plandemic. It reminds me of boosters. It reminds me of boosters. Or, sorry, not boosters, but the vaccines, where it's like, the idea of a vaccine is that everyone has to do it. And some people were like, I don't want to do it. The idea for combating AI is for no one to do it. But everyone's like, well, I want to do it.

[Adam]

I'm gonna. I'm gonna.

[Ders]

I gotta do it. It's like a reverse vaccine.

[Adam]

Yeah, the one. The ones that. No, I like it to, like, ask a simple. Ask a question and then it can. It can really answer you. Like a human would answer in a way that Google sometimes really have to get in the weeds. You're like, ah, that's not exactly what I wanted.

[Blake]

It gathers all the data at once. Right.

[Adam]

That to me is helpful. What? I don't like Googling.

[Ders]

You mean using it like a Google?

[Blake]

Sort of, but it's like an advanced.

[Adam]

But it would really break it down for you in the way that it, that it's like you're talking to a person as opposed to asking Google.

[Ders]

I don't want it to talk to me like a person. I think that's dumb.

[Blake]

Yeah, like, what about like research and finding is important. Like you have to. Great question.

[Adam]

But what I don't like is, is the video component. I'm like, who asked for this? Like a bunch of like fake video, oh, slop stuff. Yeah, yeah, but that's, yeah, like, but now it's getting like real really good.

[Ders]

Kumbaya. Yeah, but that's the most fun thing for anybody anywhere. Especially if you're 10 years old, you're slop, slop just making slots.

[Blake]

Sure. Like imagine the up thing for me

[Ders]

is that we're basically, we're letting these search engines just farm all the intelligence that humans came up with and no one's getting like paid on that back end. Right?

[Adam]

Yeah, no they're not. No.

[Ders]

Like if you have a farm and someone's like, hey, we need corn. You go, great, I'm gonna work and you're going to buy my corn and then people are going to eat, eat. People are just eating your corn and you're like, well I don't understand. They're like, people are eating over here. And I go, well yeah, but like that's my corn. Not anymore.

[Blake]

Gotcha.

[Adam]

That's, that is a.

[Ders]

So like how does that work?

[Adam]

My sister works for a, a giant tech company, Demon, and she's training the little robot dogs. She's training AI to take her job.

[Ders]

Right?

[Adam]

I'm living in a nightmare like every day she's like feeding the AI information to take her job.

[Ders]

This is what I would do. And it goes. Cool, Great. Good to know.

[Adam]

She's like, it's, it's any day now I'm going to be let go because AI is just going to be like, okay, thanks Britney, we've got it.

[Blake]

And you're like, but even then my mind goes to okay, are they cashing her out? Cuz she's, she's the prototype. Like she is the, the brain that they, they drew from, from like. No, no, not at all. Exactly.

[Ders]

They're not cashing her out.

[Blake]

I know nobody. So why are we like letting go of all of this? Just to the robots for no anything.

[Ders]

Because it helps me schedule. It helps me whatever.

[Adam]

Like, someone is getting cashed out.

[Blake]

Someone is, you know. Yeah, it's the. It's. It's terrible.

[Ders]

I don't know, man. And like, throw the hood up.

[Blake]

I wish I had a hood. Dude, we should have hooded up the whole.

[Ders]

They keep talking about. I. I'm saying, dude, bro, we're going saying, like, you're gonna be able to travel and like, you could just paint all day. But people need to do.

[Adam]

Yeah, people need.

[Ders]

People need to feel in demand.

[Adam]

Like, well, that is what plants. That is what Zuckerberg said. He was like, well, this will. This will you. People won't need jobs. They'll. They'll be able to have all their time suspended how they want to. And you're like, no, no, no, no.

[Ders]

People need.

[Adam]

People need to pay for. Dude. People have mortgages and their kids need to eat and.

[Blake]

Right. That's the part of the equation.

[Adam]

Like, and also, if you have a job. I know in.

[Ders]

In theory, alcohol.

[Adam]

Yeah. In theory, not having a job is great, but not having a job means you're going to drink big sips.

[Ders]

You either turn into an alcoholic or you get absolutely shredded.

[Blake]

Now it's feeling a little targeted.

[Ders]

It's pandemic, where you just are like, got nothing to do. What am I going to do? And then you turn into something.

[Blake]

No, wait. The pandemic was sick. The pandemic was sick.

[Ders]

I know, but the pandemic.

[Adam]

A lot of people were sick. They died.

[Ders]

I know. Know people died. It lasted a year and change. Right? This is for the rest of humanity. And that's just the short end. The short end.

[Blake]

I did so many puzzles.

[Ders]

Sooner or later, the robots, the AI is going to build robots. They're going, this is terminator 2. I just watched it with my kid. It's happening.

[Adam]

The AI is building robots. And then the robots are going to fuck us. And. And we're going to let it.

[Ders]

They're going to have that out there.

[Blake]

No, we're not going to let them.

[Adam]

We're going to give it the old

[Ders]

colle and then they're going to slit our throats.

[Blake]

Everything is building towards. We are going to go to war with robots and everybody's going to be stoked and we're all going to band together and be like humans. Hell yeah, dude. Finally, we're all friends again.

[Ders]

And the robots, we're fighting an enemy that doesn't have to eat or sleep.

[Blake]

The robots are going to fucking annihilate us, dude. In ways. In ways we thought in the back of our mind that they extracted. And they're like, oh, I know it would really hurt if we just like peel their buttholes off, like stickers. And they're gonna do that to us. It's gonna be bad, dude.

[Ders]

See, but the fact that you just said that, Blake. The fact that you just said that into a podcast. This can now be mine. And now it's part of their greater brain trust. Brain trust.

[Blake]

It's science. They're gonna have us lined up and they're gonna just start peeling our buttholes off like scratches.

[Ders]

You will be Anderson.

[Blake]

Scratch and sniff, bro.

[Ders]

You will be Anderson.

[Blake]

Well, I was like, okay, so I was like, I forget how I got down that road. But like Vlad the Impaler, right? He would like cut off just the

[Ders]

guy who interviews rappers.

[Blake]

No, no, no, no, no, no. Like really old school. Vlad the Impaler.

[Adam]

Who was Vlad the Impaler? I don't quite.

[Blake]

I don't fully know.

[Ders]

You should see the guy who put people's AI on the wall.

[Blake]

Yes, but he would basically, like cut off the whole army's head, like, of his opponents and then like put them on stakes. So when like pillar.

[Adam]

Vladimir Guerrero.

[Blake]

No, that's. He's an expo. He's a baseball player.

[Adam]

He was pretty Dominican.

[Ders]

Former professional baseball.

[Blake]

Oh, no, no, no, not him. He was the guy that was Dracula was based off, right? Oh, yeah. And he would basically like wipe the out opposing armies and then just cut their heads off and put all their like. Or not even cut their heads off. He just put the stake like through their butthole through their mouth. So when you entered a town, it was just like, oh, my God, what the fuck am I going into? That's what robots are going to do to us. But peeling off our buttholes.

[Ders]

This is what happens when we let you talk.

[Adam]

But in the meantime, like AI porno seems like it's going to be cool in the meantime. Allegedly.

[Ders]

Yeah, but like, I'm not going to click on it until it's available. Like, they try and make you sign up for a whole website and make it a whole lifestyle. Hey, guess what?

[Adam]

It's not a lifestyle.

[Ders]

It's not going to be my lifestyle yet.

[Adam]

It's not a lifestyle.

[Ders]

It's not going to be my lifestyle.

[Adam]

It can't be. It cannot be your lifestyle.

[Ders]

When they try and make it a lifestyle, I'm like, guys, not a lifestyle. This is a pastime. This is a hobby. This is a.

[Blake]

It's a bagel and this may be the ship's talking.

[Ders]

This is a. Well, I'll take a peek. I got 20 minutes to kill. Let me take a peek here.

[Adam]

If the video was already available. But what they want you to do is like build your own super, super chick. I don't want to get in the weeds, dude.

[Ders]

This is like when I go in a Subway. I'm making my own sandwich.

[Blake]

And this may be the SIPS talking, but I'm not trying to do that, man.

[Adam]

And by the way, trying to get in the weeds.

[Ders]

How about A.I. you know what I like? You know what I've clicked on? So just build something. Make an amalgam.

[Adam]

Build it. Build it. And I will come. Build it and I will come.

[Ders]

And don't. And do not give it a dick. Do not give it a. A dick. I don't understand why all the AI porn. Everything has a dick.

[Blake]

Everybody's coming. Agreed.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Ders]

I don't.

[Blake]

And it must. I want to see one. I gotta see.

[Adam]

We'll see. See.

[Blake]

Preferably with Peony.

[Adam]

See, you're laughing too hard. See?

[Blake]

Sorry, sorry, Sorry.

[Adam]

It's okay.

[Blake]

Sorry. I'm back. It's the SIPS talking.

[Adam]

See, they must. The algorithm must know something that we don't know. That's why they all have dicks. The algorithm knows.

[Ders]

No, no, no. But they're fishing. They're fishing.

[Adam]

Fishing.

[Ders]

They're fishing.

[Adam]

I don't know.

[Blake]

You gotta have a worm to fish.

[Ders]

And I click on something because I go, whoa, that demon and that elf look like they're getting it on. Oh no. The elf has a humongous Vanny cocktail.

[Blake]

Right?

[Ders]

And they don't show. And they don't show. That in the thumbnail.

[Adam]

So here. I think Todd just threw something in the chat. A 21 year old Texas student builds an AI only fans model using only 400 MacBook. Earns $43,000 a month.

[Ders]

And by the way, this is the thing. Thing that happens and everyone goes, this is amazing. It's going to be amazing for 10 years and then everything is going to be Mad Max in a bad way.

[Blake]

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Like right now we are like bearing the fruits of that. But it will. It will sour.

[Ders]

We're being lured. We're being lured.

[Adam]

See, we click. Well, this is just this. This dude, this 21 year old dude in his college dorm room.

[Ders]

I'm a dude.

[Adam]

And he's. And he's bent over like. Like, look at. Like this. And then AI turns him into a very sexy chick in her underwear.

[Ders]

Are you clicking on these links?

[Blake]

I'm a dude always, dude.

[Adam]

I click on everything.

[Ders]

Which one? I see the fourth link.

[Blake]

Yeah.

[Ders]

Which one was that?

[Blake]

Which one was that?

[Ders]

The guy bent over the bottom1.

[Adam]

The AI generated person only.

[Ders]

Fan Set your choices. Reject all.

[Blake]

Yeah, why are we.

[Ders]

And I'm in.

[Blake]

Every time I click these, it's like, warning, warning, warning.

[Ders]

And so now this guy, when he moves, moves the body of this woman is there. Like, that's what you see. If you're.

[Adam]

Oh, that's what you see. It's him. But AI turns. It turns him into her.

[Blake]

So he could just be like, yes, yes. I actually saw something now. Yeah. What are you.

[Adam]

So you could be jerking off to this woman? This sexy woman? Yeah, it's just a dude in his living room.

[Ders]

AOL all over again. I'm a dude, dude.

[Blake]

Yeah, I saw something. There was a. I think it was a. A lady who was putting on. It's basically a filter. It's like a live filter. Yeah. And she was like this really hot chick. But then, like, something happened where it glitched and it revealed who was really behind it. And then, like, she lost all of her followers. But.

[Ders]

But not all of them.

[Adam]

Not all.

[Blake]

Not all of them. Some of them were like, promise you.

[Ders]

There's one guy who goes, I knew it.

[Blake]

Hell yeah, dude.

[Adam]

Perfect.

[Blake]

Hell yeah.

[Ders]

Can't reach the mouse. Can't reach the trackpad. Perfect.

When did we become the Lingo Kids house?

[Blake]

No idea.

[Kalpen]

Hey, everyone, it's Cal Penn, host of Irsay, the Audible and I Heart Audiobook. This week on the podcast, I'm sitting down with Wil Wheaton, who played Gordie Lachance in stand by me 40 years ago and now narrates Stephen King's the Body, the novella that inspired it all. We talk about what it's like to return to a story that shaped his life, channeling his memories of River Phoenix in the recording booth, and why the friendships you have at 12 might be the most important ones you'll ever have.

[Bowen Yang]

I know.

[Kalpen]

Gorgeous Gordy Lachance.

[Adam]

I am Gordy Lachance.

[Blake]

Like, I mean, even when I was a little kid, I was Gordy Lachance

[Bowen Yang]

when I didn't know it.

[Kalpen]

Listen to Earsay, the Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club on the iHeartradio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Blake]

It's. It's gonna get weird. It's only gonna get weirder, dude. We might as well build little avatars.

[Ders]

No, I. That's too much. It's too much.

[Blake]

Be a cool frogman or something and just go, like, why not? Why not? Why. Why. Why is it even cool?

[Ders]

He means, like, you make an avatar for yourself so you can walk around the virtual land as a frog guy.

[Adam]

The fact that you didn't. If you were richer, Blake would have bought a bunch of NFTs. If Blake was richer, he would. No, I didn't.

[Blake]

I.

[Adam]

He would have got, like, a bored ape.

[Blake]

No, that never appealed to me. That seemed silly.

[Ders]

NFTs are actually the. The interesting thing that I do think was cool about NFTs is that if you were an artist and you made a piece of art every time it sold, you got paid, as opposed to you selling it for let's say $50,000 because you're successful, and then five years later, as you get more successful, somebody sells it for 250, you don't get any of that money. Know what I'm saying?

[Blake]

But what. But what of that ever made any noise beyond the apes? Like, I never knew anything beyond.

[Ders]

That's a good question. Would they be noise? What do you think, Adam? As far as the noise?

[Adam]

Thank you, God. NFT guys. The Beeple Gu guy that I met, I met in Charleston, we went to his, like, headquarters, computer lab, and the people. He sold his. He sold his nft. The one. It was the one that went for, like, $67 million or 87 or something. That God was absurd. And then six months later, it's worth, like, $200.

[Blake]

Yeah, right.

[Adam]

It's worth nothing.

[Ders]

But here's my question.

[Adam]

Imagine being the guy that paid the 67 million because are like, this is the future.

[Ders]

Look.

[Adam]

Look up how much Beeple actually sold or worked for.

[Ders]

Adam, what do you think? Don't you think smart people would go, hey, I'm creating this whole new world of art. Let's get in on it. You've got $67 million. Buy my art for $67 million. I'll give it right back to you. But we've created the idea that this stuff is actually selling, and people go, I want to be. They bought 67 million. I got 5 million. Let me get into this. And now you've done just made $5 million.

[Blake]

Yeah, that's probably.

[Adam]

I don't think that's what happened, but

[Blake]

some dude lost a lot of money.

[Ders]

I'm just saying, isn't that how art works?

[Blake]

That's insider trading, dude.

[Ders]

Yeah, but that's art.

[Adam]

He sold it for 69.3 million at Christie's in March 2021. Yeah. And then also sold another one for nearly 29 million. And then that's it. I talked with the guy. He was like, yeah, it's essentially dead now, but I. I was able to get mine. And so I was there at the right time, and I'm like, and what's he doing now?

[Ders]

I know I would be doing absolutely nothing.

[Adam]

He owns, like, an artist compound in Charleston, and.

[Ders]

Yeah, that's cool.

[Adam]

And then I think just throws parties there and stuff.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake]

I'm like, oh, so he, like, is actually down for the arts, but he's really just raging. He's just kind of party.

[Adam]

Yeah, no, he's. He's down for the arts. He does all kinds of work. Weird.

[Blake]

I just didn't even. Yeah, I don't know. I didn't tap into that.

[Adam]

He, like, makes those masks that look exactly like people.

[Blake]

So you're just like, oh, those are pretty cool.

[Adam]

We're at the part at this party, and just all of a sudden, like, Jeff Bezos is there, and you're like, jeff Bezos is here?

[Blake]

It's crazy.

[Adam]

And then. But why is his head, like, a little extra big?

[Ders]

Why is he on a bikini?

[Adam]

It was. It was really off putting.

[Blake]

Those are actually cool. I like that.

[Ders]

Blake, you want to be a frog? Just get one of those masks and walk around the Glendale Galleria.

[Blake]

How much do you think those masks cost? They're probably like, I think you can afford it.

[Ders]

Yeah, you're on Netflix. You're on Netflix.

[Blake]

You think they're five grand?

[Adam]

No, no. I bet they're more than that.

[Ders]

Fifteen. Really? You don't think they're like, 1500 bucks?

[Adam]

No. For a really, really, really good one.

[Ders]

Well, you just said really, really, really three times.

[Adam]

Like a really, really good one.

[Ders]

Yeah, I think you're right. The really, really, really good ones.

[Blake]

No, I'm talking much.

[Ders]

I'm talking about just the good ones.

[Blake]

No, I. I want a really, really, really good.

[Adam]

Well, you.

[Ders]

You don't.

[Adam]

One that looks like a Ne. Like a. A Halloween costume.

[Blake]

Yeah. No, no. I want it to look amazing.

[Adam]

Like, Blake is going to go in blackface as Whoopy Goldberg. He wants to look exactly like.

[Blake]

When did I ever say that? No, that. I know.

[Ders]

I know.

[Adam]

That's the vibe that you're giving.

[Blake]

I said frog. I want to be a frog.

[Ders]

I'm seeing a Trump mask here for 1200.

[Blake]

Okay.

[Adam]

Okay.

[Ders]

Realistic. I typed in realistic. Trump mask.

[Adam]

Pizza. Pizza.

[Blake]

I feel like I went to, like, DesignerCon in Pasadena, and they had some pretty good masks, and it wasn't that much, but I feel like even then it's starting to. It's getting realer every.

[Adam]

Yeah, well, if you want to be just like a random guy, you could. It seems like just for a couple hundred bucks, you could look really, really, really scary, which is weird. And scary, which is okay.

[Ders]

So wait, I'm getting confused.

[Adam]

Maybe that's what we do for the next podcast.

[Blake]

Dude, I think that's a great idea.

[Adam]

That's great.

[Blake]

I think that's a great idea.

[Adam]

Heads.

[Blake]

Let's just look completely different. But the mouth moves.

[Adam]

The mouth moves.

[Blake]

That's. It's all about the mouth moving for us.

[Adam]

It's all about our mouths.

[Ders]

Like, this one's 600 bucks. I guess I'm like, if they're $10,000, I don't know who's buying them.

[Blake]

Well, see that? I want that one.

[Ders]

Beeple. Who?

[Blake]

Beeple.

[Adam]

People.

[Blake]

Yes, people is doing it.

[Ders]

Yeah, I guess you're right. Pets aren't really shopping like they used to. I'm still gonna send it.

[Blake]

I want the 10 grand one because it's gonna, it's gonna last. Right?

[Ders]

Okay, you get. Hey, do you know it'd be really funny. You get the 10 grand one, I'll get one. That's about $10. Freaking.

[Blake]

See ya. That's from Party City. Party. Well, yeah.

[Ders]

I remember finding out how much like real good wigs were and when I got into the business, the industry. Industry. And shocked.

[Adam]

Yeah. They can go for thousands and thousands of dollars.

[Blake]

I. I wouldn't know. I don't have a wig.

[Ders]

Yeah, like $40,000 for like. Yeah, for like a legit movie star. For like if Meryl Streep has like a. The. The Devil burst Prada, that's got to be a wig. And it's a centerpiece of the movie, right? That's a forty thousand dollar wig. Maybe more.

[Adam]

That's. That's right.

[Blake]

Well, because.

[Adam]

Because any time that there's like a wig and it doesn't look. Anytime there's a wig and it doesn't look good, then the movie tanks.

[Blake]

That shit's important.

[Adam]

You know, Then people are like, well, this. The. The wig.

[Blake]

What. What. What movie? What movie is coming to mind? It's true.

[Ders]

There's a Mark Wahlberg one where he had long hair and. And I remember seeing the billboard and being like, nah, I'm good.

[Blake]

That ain't it.

[Ders]

I'm good. What like Dan Brown fucking those Tom Hanks movies? I think they did well, but I was like, nah, not gonna see it.

[Blake]

That's a bad wig. I ain't watching that.

[Adam]

Nah, you get your wig right.

[Blake]

Get your wig right.

[Adam]

Dude, you better come correct with that wig.

[Blake]

Meryl Streep. How much did she pay for that wig? Damn it. We know we're talking Devil Wears Prada too.

[Ders]

Let's see what Gemini says. Wait, no, we can't use it.

[Blake]

See, you've refused to look.

[Adam]

I will say I did ask Gemini Blake during the.

[Blake]

The.

[Adam]

The Troubadour show. He sent us a photo of these leather pants and was like, should I buy these leather pants? And then the next day he goes to buy the leather pants. Apparently they weren't good enough. Leather pants.

[Blake]

No, they weren't tight.

[Adam]

I know. He just wanted me and Isaac to go pay for them. But I know not the case.

[Blake]

You saw. I sent photos of me wearing them. They were very baggy. They were not cool, bruh.

[Adam]

And then I go, okay, I guess I'll take care of it. Even though Blake was the one that said he was going to take care of it.

[Blake]

Wow, Adam. Adam has shouldered something. That's cool.

[Adam]

I get the drums in my. Into my phone.

[Ders]

Adam was fueled by rage.

[Blake]

Get the drums.

[Adam]

I'll do it into my phone. I asked Gemini and it was pretty cool. I go, hey, Gemini, what's the closest rock and roll style pants, fake leather pants near me?

[Ders]

And you're looking ripped today, Adam.

[Adam]

1.2. 1.2 miles away was a place called Rocktown. And they had all the. If you're ever in Hollywood, Rocktown has all the rock and roll stuff.

[Ders]

Send me a picture of you in those pants.

[Blake]

Did you guys keep the leather pants?

[Adam]

I believe Isaac kept all of my clothes for Dalton to wear on Halloween.

[Blake]

Damn.

[Adam]

Perfect.

[Blake]

You guys didn't take the leather pants home.

[Ders]

I forgot.

[Blake]

I feel like you could rock those.

[Ders]

Yeah, I did.

[Blake]

I didn't keep mine, but I definitely kept the. The fish.

[Adam]

I will say. Oh, I don't think we talk. I truly almost passed out when we stood up to. To when we were fighting.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Adam]

And we're about to break out in

[Ders]

song, unbeknownst to you. Break out in song.

[Adam]

We stood up and all of a sudden the room goes.

[Blake]

Yeah.

[Adam]

And I almost passed out cuz the

[Ders]

clothes were so tight.

[Adam]

I think that vest, the. The pants weren't really that tight, but the vest itself itself was denim and it was really tight, like through my midsection. I think when I stood up, something.

[Blake]

Something shifted and like you really, really thought you're about to like drop and hit your head. You didn't meant have any mention of it. I didn't see like that look in your eye or anything.

[Adam]

Well, afterwards I told you after the

[Ders]

show he talked about it.

[Blake]

I know, but like, I would. I would think I would clock it as like your. Your fellow thespian.

[Adam]

Well, because I was trying to. I was trying to gather myself because I knew that Will Forte was about to grab that guitar and then. And if he were to grab a guitar, I would have to be the first one to sing.

[Blake]

How cool would it have been if we had like a real medical emergency and Will had to be there for it? And it was like we have our first guest and Adam's just like twitching

[Ders]

like, I do feel like he would have just kept playing and Been like, this is part of it, right?

[Adam]

Part of the bit.

[Ders]

By the way, you're supposed to like go up on like a perch on the stage and if you got up there and just fainted into the crowd, nose dive.

[Blake]

Oh, you would killed somebody.

[Adam]

That would have been a catastrophe. Well, that's why I didn't jump up there right away. If you notice, I stood on stage for a second.

[Kalpen]

I did.

[Ders]

I go, go to your perch and watch it.

[Adam]

Yeah, I stood there like, just like

[Blake]

now I've got to watch it.

[Adam]

Yeah, for a second. And then all of a sudden forte starts and I'm like, doctor, get to my pur.

[Blake]

It's just in slow mo, dude. Well, you pulled it off, man. That's why you're a rain Slater Snow. A legend, mate.

[Adam]

That's being you.

[Blake]

Really? I remember doing like a one act where like I had to like pretend to be dead on a. A live stage show, but I was

[Ders]

cast you as a dead body.

[Blake]

I no lines, but I had to like sit with my neck cranked like that. But it was like cutting off blood circulation and I could start to feel like my whole body tingling like I was going to truly pass out. So. So you're like, you're dead, but you're. You're dead, but you're like kind of like slowly like. I'm like, if I like really move slow, I have to. Dude, like, I'm truly going to pass out and actually be dead. So you're like kind of like making your it. I didn't pass out, but I was damn close.

[Ders]

Dude, you just reminded me that. God, this is crazy. God, this is when I was like so funny. I don't know, 10, maybe 11. I was in some play for like the Westing Game was like a book. And so they were like, read the book this week or whatever. And I just didn't read the book. Can't. And so then we get to like, we. We get to the casting and they're like, so who wants to play who? And they're like, anders, we think you should play this guy. And this girl goes, oh, yeah, you'd be really good at that. And I was like, fucking. I guess she gets. She fucking gets it. And then it's like a dude in a wheelchair who's got like down syndrome and doesn't talk or something. And so I'm in this play and I'm like, oh, no, this one. And it's not supposed to be fun

[Adam]

funny, but you know, you know, you

[Ders]

put a little extra. The hood was Up. Yeah. But then as I got cast, I go, that said what? She let me think I was like

[Blake]

something, Bro, she gifted you, though. You could have been.

[Adam]

That's rough though.

[Blake]

That was like your Oscar moment, dude, if you would have took it seriously. Come on.

[Ders]

Good point. Hey, could have, would have, should have. Hey, thanks, dude. I like to see how you live.

[Blake]

I wish we knew each other. Let's run for mayor.

[Adam]

So in the book. In the book, Christos Chris is a 15 year old boy who uses a wheelchair due to a degenerative muscle disease. Oh, yeah, he didn't have down syndrome.

[Ders]

Can I tell you something? Just the way.

[Adam]

Just the way you played it.

[Ders]

This was 30 something years ago. I just remember he was like. He like, couldn't talk and was in a fucking wheelchair.

[Adam]

And was this like the lead or.

[Ders]

No, it's like a ensemble.

[Adam]

You're fucking disaster.

[Blake]

My guy.

[Ders]

Don't even remember what the book was about.

[Blake]

Yeah, I don't know, Christos. I don't think I. I don't think we read that.

[Adam]

We did not read that. Over here.

[Blake]

No, I've never heard of that book.

[Ders]

What is the Westing Game?

[Blake]

The Westing Game.

[Ders]

They need to start burning some of these books. This should have been banned, I'll tell you that.

[Blake]

Dude. Dude, I like. This is the kind of shit I'm into, though. Like, I bet. I bet this book is good. Yeah, I bet this book is good.

[Adam]

What book? The Western Game. Why? Why do you say that?

[Blake]

Just because if you're reading it in school.

[Adam]

See, this is what I'm saying, Blake, you got to say more words.

[Blake]

Okay? Because, like, I remember, like, I. There was a time when I like, went on Insta Stories and I'm like. Because I found this book in a used bookstore where I'm like, this was the first, like, novel I read outside of school and I posted it and people. It was called the. The Legend of the Blue Lights or something. But then everybody started to post the first books they ever read. And a lot of people said it was this book called the Giver. And I read it and that book was actually cool, dude. It was like an easy read, went right through it. But it was like the Giving Tree. No, it's called the Giver.

[Ders]

Super is pictures and shit, right? Yeah, I believe you.

[Blake]

Yeah.

[Adam]

No, you said you posted about it a couple weeks ago. Yeah, it was called the Give. The Giver. Yeah, I think. I think you're right.

[Ders]

I do love someone who reads books. Listening to us go books can actually be kind of sick.

[Blake]

Dude, they're sick.

[Ders]

Of course they are.

[Adam]

I know. And you're like, it was actually a quick read because. Well, it's a y book for children, middle schoolers.

[Blake]

Well, but it would know. But it wasn't. It's not like. It's not like, like, you know, it's not like the. The. The stories you read at bed. In bed at night. That's not. Busy world.

[Adam]

Well, yeah, it's not for like elementary school kids, but for middle school age kids that can read.

[Blake]

It had. It was. It was kind of mind blowing. Dude, the giver has big concepts.

[Ders]

If it's not a Calat award.

[Adam]

It was a chapter book, so.

[Blake]

Yeah. Yes, but it was good. It was good, man. It. And it like ended. It had like the ending, like, kind of makes you think. And I'm like, what are more books like this that are.

[Ders]

This is. This is exactly what I'm saying. Keep going. Any reader out there is like, dude,

[Adam]

you have to run for mayor.

[Blake]

I could maybe win. Yo. These laws. West End game. I think the West End game is pretty good. I've got a feeling it might be pretty good.

[Ders]

Check it out.

[Adam]

It's not Hatchet by Gary Pson. I'll say that. It's definitely not.

[Ders]

What.

[Blake]

Which is another one that was mentioned quite a bit. The Hatchet, of course, is a goated book.

[Ders]

You guys ever read White Fang?

[Blake]

Unreal. White Fang.

[Adam]

I saw the movie.

[Ders]

No, no. White thing.

[Adam]

A white thing.

[Blake]

[Ders]

[Adam]

No, that was only at your school.

[Blake]

Who wrote that?

[Ders]

I'm still writing it.

[Adam]

Bullet, you are so dumb.

[Ders]

Damn.

[Blake]

White. White thing.

[Ders]

That was. My nickname was White.

[Blake]

Owner's Home has released a. A new young adult novel called White Fan.

[Ders]

I'm going have AI Rew write White Fang and I'm just going to go. Whatever you think White Fang is, write it.

[Adam]

Go write it.

[Blake]

Plug and play. Okay, Maybe AI isn't so bad. And I am voting for Spencer Pratt.

[Ders]

Why?

[Adam]

Every once in a while, I will deliver something pretty funny and.

[Blake]

No, it knows what it's doing. It's a. It's a good time.

[Adam]

Any take backs? Any apologies? Any epic slams today?

[Ders]

I'm sorry, what we said about Spencer Pratt, that's just not okay. Dude, we can't do that.

[Adam]

Yeah, why can't we?

[Blake]

This was actually very politically charged, charged.

[Ders]

You know, it's funny, it made me think when. When Chappelle. When. When Trump won maybe the first time, and Chappelle went on SNL and he was like, you know, I didn't Vote for this guy, but I wish him the best. Like, that did not work out. Well, depending on. Hey, depending on where. How you lean. But you know, the.

[Blake]

Do you have political perin. What is the penis disease Pey. Yeah, Political. Yeah. Which way do you lean?

[Ders]

But the part of me wants to say, like, I mean, hell, give him a shot. It's like, no, stop. There's no shot.

[Adam]

Do not give that guy a shot.

[Ders]

He's just gonna be like, can I go on ride alongs and shoot people? Like, you think I'm the mayor. You think I'm joking? But I promise you, Trump's been like, if I could get into one of those tanks, I'd do it, and I'd blow up a school myself.

[Blake]

This is where I think it really, like, spawns from. Is like. As we talk about it, I'm like, what sucks? Is like, I bet if we collectively were like, yo, Spencer Pratt, what's up?

[Adam]

Up?

[Blake]

Like, if you get in power, I bet we could do a lot of fun stuff together. Right? And he'd be like, yeah, I'm bringing you with me.

[Ders]

I promise you. He'd be like, you guys are nerds.

[Blake]

Everybody's coming.

[Ders]

I promise you.

[Adam]

I bet. I bet.

[Ders]

I bet he was like an evil reality high school reality show. High school guy.

[Adam]

Yeah. And he was like a super rich. He wouldn't with us. Yeah, I get.

[Blake]

I don't know anything about. About him, to be honest. And I.

[Adam]

He seems like he wouldn't with us.

[Blake]

Yeah, I bet he. Everybody's coming.

[Ders]

Everybody's coming.

[Adam]

All right, well, I'd have nothing to take back. I have nothing to take back for. For this.
