Episode Overview

In this lively and irreverent episode of This Is Important, the guys—Adam DeVine, Anders Holm, and Blake Anderson (with frequent mentions of Kyle Newacheck)—dive into essential hard-hitting topics, from reflections on high school prom and graduation to the evolving social scene, technology's impact on entertainment and education, and how sincerity feels in their chosen careers.

• Discussion of BBQ culture in Kansas City, mentioning Slaps, Arthur Bryant, and the broader food scene.

  • Blake: “If it's not just regular going out clothes...If you're doing anything extra, it's to either someone's brains out or get your brains out.” (20:22)

4. Prom, High School Dances, and Graduation—Explained

• The heart of the episode is a deep-dive into prom and how experiences vary:
  • Who gets invited, going solo vs. bringing a date, what the night means, and the emotional highs and lows attached to it.
• Blake tells how he was “finally” asked to prom, lacking the courage to do the asking.
  • Adam admits to being reluctant because he didn’t think he’d “get laid,” poking fun at teenage priorities.
• The crew reminisces about pre-parties, sneaking alcohol, the famed "limo split between 40 people," and the break-dancers stealing the show.

  • Adam: “You didn’t have butterflies in your stomach when you were graduating high school?” (44:52)
  • Blake: “The fact that you chose a career in entertainment and you were nervous to walk across stage and just take…That, to me, seems crazy, considering the field that you went into.” (45:16)
• The discussion shifts to how comedians struggle with sincere moments versus humor as a comfort blanket.
  • Blake: “When it, when I have to be really sincere, that's when it feels very uncomfortable and I don't love it and it doesn't come naturally.” (49:44)

[Adam DeVine]

I'll see myself out.

[Ders]

All right.

[Adam DeVine]

Sorry.

[Blake Anderson]

Well, of course you're going to want to go home at the end of the night and get a robot blowjob.

[Blake Anderson]

Oh, dude.

[Ders]

Oh, what a week it's been.

What a week.

[Blake Anderson]

I tell you what a week. I. I did two weekends in a row back to back of just stuff. Dude, I. I did Bottle Rock and then last week I did Big Slick. Yeah, I gained 16 pounds.

[Adam DeVine]

Sixteen.

[Blake Anderson]

I can't stop eating.

[Adam DeVine]

I'm so hungry.

[Blake Anderson]

That's a lot.

[Ders]

You gotta poop.

[Blake Anderson]

Why, why is my body like that though?

[Adam DeVine]

Well, you probably. What were. What were you. What were you grubbing on? I mean, that's Kansas City. Were you eating some barbecue?

[Blake Anderson]

I only ate barbecue the last night in, in Kansas City. And dude, this place called Slaps, it was called Slaps Barbecue and it was great, but they.

[Ders]

Yeah, Slap Smack.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, we talked about it last week, but Big Slick, it's this huge fundraiser for Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City.

[Ders]

Gave money.

[Blake Anderson]

It's a. That's right, I did. And it is a children's cancer research hospital. So that's very cool. But the last night, like for all the celebrity guests, they got 15 different barbecue spots.

[Ad Read Voice]

Whoa.

[Blake Anderson]

So it was like every name barbecue spot in Kansas City was there. So you just went and did a taste test.

[Ad Read Voice]

Wow.

[Adam DeVine]

Dude, that's amazing.

[Blake Anderson]

And that was. We ate at like 11:30 at night because that's when everything wrapped up and that's when we. And we'd been drinking for most of the day. And then you know that I'm in like in bed. We had to, you know, flight the next morning, but I'm still up till like 2:30, 3 o' clock in the morning. The cause of diarrhea, dude, I was up all night long. I didn't sleep because my stomach was. Wild, but it tasted so good.

[Adam DeVine]

And.

[Blake Anderson]

And this is no shot. I can't believe I called out Slaps and then told that story. Because Slaps was delicious. And. And then there was a lot of other names that I wish.

[Adam DeVine]

Bryant. I've been to Arthur Bryant. When I was out there, that place was.

[Blake Anderson]

Arthur Bryant is the classic, the classic old One. But everyone, everyone was like, there's some new joints that are on that are. Are doing some big, big things.

[Adam DeVine]

I love Kansas City.

[Blake Anderson]

Kansas City's a cool town, man. Yeah, cool town.

[Adam DeVine]

They got a good scene over there.

[Ders]

It's in Missouri.

[Blake Anderson]

I brought clothes that I fit in on the first day. I was there for three days.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

And then I tried to wear the same pants that I wore on the way out there. Couldn't fit in them. Your boobs are huge.

[Ders]

Not gonna give it to you.

[Blake Anderson]

Couldn't fit in the same pants.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Adam DeVine]

Damn, dude. Yeah, dude.

[Blake Anderson]

I don't understand why my body does this.

[Adam DeVine]

Just grow in the butt.

[Ders]

I don't know why I know this. Adam, you famously do not wear a belt famously.

[Blake Anderson]

Why?

[Adam DeVine]

What's up with that?

[Blake Anderson]

It's such a. I'm famous for it.

[Adam DeVine]

You can match it with your. Your shoes. I feel like a nice belt. It's like a watch.

[Ders]

Doesn't that top button just got a

[Adam DeVine]

lot riding on it? For dear, dear life. Would you bust a button?

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, well, I. My ass holds up all pants. I've never had a problem with sagging, cuz the ass will hold it there.

[Adam DeVine]

Right, right, right. That shelf.

[Blake Anderson]

So I've, you know, Blake, his pay.

[Jenny Garth]

I.

[Blake Anderson]

You know, which I don't understand because you're. You have such a top ass.

[Adam DeVine]

Thank you.

[Ders]

But he doesn't bring it over the ass. He keep. He keeps.

[Blake Anderson]

You got to pull it up.

[Ders]

He keeps it up.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, just pull it up.

[Adam DeVine]

I like to keep it under the butt cheeks.

[Ders]

That's what 50 is going to be for Adam.

[Ad Read Voice]

Yes.

[Adam DeVine]

Thank you.

[Ad Read Voice]

Right.

[Blake Anderson]

Now, when you sit down on a chair, aren't you like my.

[Ders]

His underwear is bare.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, the cotton. The cotton like my is liter pressed against this chair.

[Adam DeVine]

Moments away.

[Blake Anderson]

It's just a thin piece of cotton away from the chair that I'm sitting.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah, it's probably. It's probably not. Not kind.

[Ders]

Which Adam, I would assume you don't have a problem with because you enjoy sitting bare ass on any toilet seat anywhere around the world.

[Blake Anderson]

Urine or no urine, my is not touching that.

[Adam DeVine]

Right? Well, my.

[Blake Anderson]

Your isn't touching my isn't touching it.

[Ders]

When you sit down, your is not puckered up against the plank.

[Blake Anderson]

But it's. It is so close. It is so close.

[Ders]

Mine's up in.

[Adam DeVine]

I will. I have a wallet that I sit on. So that kind of is like.

[Ders]

Mine is. Mine's up in Blake's, isn't it?

[Blake Anderson]

Blake's is on the outside.

[Adam DeVine]

Mine, when I sit down, I kind of sit. Sprint with my, like, one cheek first, then, like, open my butt, then sit down. So it's like kind of. I sit famously.

[Ders]

Famously.

[Blake Anderson]

Famously famous.

[Ders]

You're famous.

[Blake Anderson]

You're known for it.

[Adam DeVine]

I like to keep it spread.

[Ders]

Is that why when you get up in a hurry, it goes like this

[Adam DeVine]

similar.

[Blake Anderson]

I don't think the microphone picked that up, but he did the.

[Ders]

He did the.

[Blake Anderson]

The pop thing where you put your finger in your mouth and flick your cheek.

[Ders]

Get your 1940s.

[Adam DeVine]

Guess what I just discovered is. Is. Is fully work still a thing. That's such a cool. That's the coolest job in Holly.

[Blake Anderson]

I think AI has taken that.

[Adam DeVine]

Son of a.

[Ders]

Really?

[Adam DeVine]

I think that's some of the coolest stuff like that. The behind the scenes on. On how they would make the noises. It's just. Guys just punch.

[Ders]

There's funny, like, comedy sketches about making Foley. Right. And they just kind of, like, make fun of people.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

Todd, I know it's still a thing, but I'm saying it's gone.

[Adam DeVine]

It's gone.

[Blake Anderson]

It's gone within six months. No one's gonna get paid to. To be a Foley artist.

[Ders]

Sure.

[Blake Anderson]

Unless you're like, what film and television is going to be is, like, most of it is done with AI with the help of AI. There will still be actors, and there will still be these things. But, like, the Foley artist, he gone. But then it'll be. Yeah, the type of thing where it's, like, bespoke, and it'll be like the hipster version of filmmaking. And they're like, we still use real Foley artists.

[Ders]

Right.

[Adam DeVine]

You know who's going to be heading that up, right?

[Blake Anderson]

Not you, dude, you're not gonna.

[Adam DeVine]

I know.

[Ders]

The person you're suggesting is also not gonna be heading it up. I already know who you're coming with.

[Adam DeVine]

I know Kyle

[Blake Anderson]

gonna head it up.

[Ders]

Kyle's the opposite.

[Adam DeVine]

No, no, he's going for it, dude.

[Ders]

Are you kidding me? He's already doing, like, the gray stage stuff where he's like, I don't want anything.

[Adam DeVine]

That's kind of cool too. Super minimal.

[Ders]

And by the way, this is the hilarious thing about, like, we're all dialing things back, and jobs are always changing. Obviously. Like, we do more cgi. There's no more.

[Blake Anderson]

Obviously. Famously puppetry.

[Ders]

Famously Hollywood is always shifting, moving, shaking, going this way. Famous creating jobs here. Jobs are extinguished over here.

[Adam DeVine]

Okay.

[Ders]

Got no words, got no bouquet. This idea.

[Blake Anderson]

Can we talk about Blake's asshole again?

[Ders]

But this idea that, like, some jobs. Some jobs are just Gone now. And like, we have to move on.

[Adam DeVine]

Yes.

[Ders]

We're doing something where all the jobs are going to be gone. Yeah, like you're talking about Foley. As if no one needs Foley. No one needs any of anything.

[Blake Anderson]

But that's not just our business. That's not just movies and television. That is everything.

[Ders]

But the way we talk about it, the way we talk about is like, we can free up the budget and it's cheaper and we could do more and we don't need set decoration. We don't need any of it. So anytime you go, we're gonna do without that. Just be ready for the set decorators to go. I'm actually gonna build a set. It's gonna be sick. And then I'm gonna have AI write a story and put actors inside the set I built.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, that's right.

[Adam DeVine]

You.

[Blake Anderson]

It's science.

[Ders]

Be ready for that.

[Adam DeVine]

Let me ask you this. Let me ask you.

[Jenny Garth]

Okay.

[Blake Anderson]

I didn't mean anything about the Foley artist. I like, I like Foley artists. I think it's tight.

[Adam DeVine]

What will be the very last job on earth? What will be the final job?

[Ders]

The oldest.

[Adam DeVine]

The oldest profession, baby.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, that's right.

[Adam DeVine]

No, there's no way.

[Blake Anderson]

Well, there's gonna be sex robots that are all gonna live in all of our houses.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah, Robots are going to be choring your brother.

[Ders]

Stand up. Stand up comedians think it's going to be stand up. And I'm like, guys, you have to stop. You got to get out of your bubble. No one gives a.

[Adam DeVine]

No, you think the last job on earth is going to be stand up comedian?

[Ders]

I have heard many stand up. Come on podcast. Be like, well, no one can do what we do. And I'm like, guys, stop, stop.

[Blake Anderson]

Well, no, I think, I think live entertainers will be one of the last because I think people are still. The more AI, the more it goes down the road of AI and and fake slob, the more you're going to want to pay money to go see someone talented doing their talent until no

[Ders]

one wants to go see it.

[Adam DeVine]

Right. There's nothing, there's nothing like being at a live stage show, a little black box theater. It is just.

[Ders]

Okay, I'll just watch. There's one on my phone. I'll watch. There's one on my eyeball. Contact lens in place.

[Adam DeVine]

Well, being. Being there with an audience, it's just. There's nothing like that you guys are fucking thinking.

[Ders]

So 2026, you tell me that someone in like a La Z boy with their dick sucking robot wants to leave that and go watch live entertainment because it's so electric. They're going to be watching a standup made by AI on their goggles, getting Dom a giant skunk woman with titties.

[Adam DeVine]

It's a half Carrot Top, half Simba.

[Blake Anderson]

I guess when you put it like that. I'm just saying put it like that famously.

[Adam DeVine]

Okay. Yeah. So, okay, stand up's out, but I think there's gonna. There's got to be some job out there. What will be the last.

[Blake Anderson]

You know what, Anders? I guess I will wear a belt.

[Adam DeVine]

What? Why?

[Blake Anderson]

Just to bring it full circle, you know?

[Adam DeVine]

Wait a. Yeah, that. Well, yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

You know what? I gu. Going to start wearing a belt.

[Ders]

Good girl.

[Adam DeVine]

I'm really. I'm really trying to think of, what the hell.

[Ders]

Get a belt sponsor for my guy.

[Adam DeVine]

Come on, dude, let's get some leather up in.

[Ders]

And there's those cool belt. Cool belts that have, like, hidden knives and where they're like, you can wear this in an airport and still kill somebody.

[Blake Anderson]

The.

[Adam DeVine]

Like a Batman utility belt.

[Ders]

Oh, yeah.

[Adam DeVine]

That's kind of hard.

[Blake Anderson]

I didn't. I didn't know there's cool belts like

[Ders]

that, but I. I'm assuming must be like, weapon belts. Is a whole, like, prepper.

[Adam DeVine]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ders]

When you're, like, scrolling on some website and then there's just an ad for, like, weapon belts, and you're like, weapon belts.

[Adam DeVine]

I don't think I get yet to see those, but I don't doubt that they're a real thing.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, I could see them being real.

[Adam DeVine]

That seems pretty. But I feel like I would have ran into one at a Renaissance fair, and. And I have not.

[Blake Anderson]

So now you think you just went to a Renaissance fair not too long ago. What are they. Are they, like. Are they pretending that they're fully in the Renaissance? Like, how far in the Renaissance are they?

[Ders]

And.

[Blake Anderson]

And, I mean, is it.

[Ders]

I've ren. Fairs been coachellified.

[Blake Anderson]

That's what I'm trying to say. Yeah. Is it. Is it, like. Absolutely. It's like. It's the Renaissance. But the beer's cold, right?

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah. No, no, no, no, no.

[Ad Read Voice]

The.

[Adam DeVine]

The. The Ren Fair.

[Blake Anderson]

There's ice.

[Adam DeVine]

There's a cor.

[Blake Anderson]

Frying their corn dogs.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah, there's always been that, but more than ever.

[Ders]

Adam, you're ruining it.

[Blake Anderson]

Right?

[Adam DeVine]

It's been so hijacked by. Well, here we go again. Social media and all that. It's just not. It's just not pure in the same way. There's, like, a lot of people that Pure. That. Take it like, very tongue in cheek. Like, there's a ton of Shreks now and Lord Farquas and all that kind of stuff, and they're just not taking it seriously like it used to be.

[Blake Anderson]

Oh, dude, you have to take it serious.

[Ders]

Tell me. Tell me more about the Shrek stuff here. Why is it just a Shrek crossover and not every other.

[Adam DeVine]

Because Shrek takes place in, like, medieval times castles and. And stuff like that.

[Ders]

So there's a lot of stuff. Are there a lot of, like, Robin Hoods?

[Adam DeVine]

There's some.

[Ders]

Or like, chick Robin Hoods with the titties out and the arrows going through.

[Adam DeVine]

Wait, I mean, like, why?

[Ders]

Why. Why? Just Shrek?

[Blake Anderson]

Wait. Chick Robin Hoods with the arrows going through the titties?

[Adam DeVine]

Is that.

[Blake Anderson]

Was that your pitch?

[Adam DeVine]

That's kind of a hard. That's kind of a sick. That's kind of sick, dude.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, sick.

[Ders]

Because I would, too.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

That's disgusting.

[Adam DeVine]

Objectifying it.

[Ders]

Yeah. Adam wants them out and no arrows going.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, there's no arrows. They should be out, but no arrows.

[Ders]

No, no, there's arrows. She's got two quivers and the arrows are pointing to them.

[Adam DeVine]

Hello.

[Blake Anderson]

And the arrows are neon lights. Neon light arrows.

[Ders]

I guess I just want to know, are there really a lot of Shreks, or did you just see us Shrek? And you're saying there's a lot of Shreks?

[Adam DeVine]

No, there's a lot of Shrek's. Like, there's packs of Shrek. There's like. Because they're ogres and it's, like, funny.

[Ders]

Is this because of Adam dressing up like Shrek?

[Adam DeVine]

It's kind of like. It's just like Shrek is kind of a movement. Shrek has become something more than just a movie. There's like Shrek parties. There are. Dude, I'm telling you, there's like.

[Ders]

I don't.

[Blake Anderson]

I mean, I. I was dressed as. As Shrek in the seminal hit film.

[Ders]

Just said that.

[Blake Anderson]

The outlaws.

[Adam DeVine]

Yes. On Netflix. Looking on Netflix.

[Ders]

Adam's looking off yonder.

[Adam DeVine]

I think the other thing about Shrek is like, you can. You can do a. Like a low budget. Like, you see, most people do it in a low budget form, and it's just kind of, like, funny. It's like. It's like, nailed it. But you're dressing as Shrek, so it's just. It's.

[Ders]

But it's not gonna get funnier than when Adam did it.

[Blake Anderson]

That's right.

[Adam DeVine]

Absolutely not.

[Blake Anderson]

In the seminal hit film Yellows.

[Ders]

So do you Tell them that. Do you tap him and go, hey, I know what you're doing. Not even close.

[Blake Anderson]

Apparently there's Shrek raves that they're doing now.

[Adam DeVine]

Yes, man. I'm telling you, Shrek is a fucking thing, dude.

[Ders]

Okay, I don't know. I don't know anything anymore. Sure, sorry.

[Adam DeVine]

You're out in the cold, man.

[Ders]

I don't bring anything.

[Adam DeVine]

The Shrek rave looks kind of fun too. People get fucking loose and imagine, dude.

[Blake Anderson]

But. But to your point, people want to go out and about and they want to get dressed up like Shrek and they want to go to a rave, and they don't necessarily always want to sit at home having a robot chor on their dang holy. You know, they don't always want that. They want to get out and about with the other Shreks.

[Adam DeVine]

As long as there's a thirst, I'm just gonna be shrek.

[Ders]

Cut to 20 years from now when you haven't. You haven't left the crap.

[Blake Anderson]

Well, of course you're gonna want to go home at the end of the night and get. Get a robot blowjob, but all day,

[Ders]

every day, it's awakened gag. You get. You're.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, okay.

[Adam DeVine]

Hello?

[Ders]

Yeah, I'm a time trip.

[Adam DeVine]

Are all of these dates different Shrek raves? Are you guys seeing how many Shrek raves there are?

[Commercial Voice]

That's right.

[Adam DeVine]

There's all over.

[Blake Anderson]

There's dozens the world. Dozens.

[Adam DeVine]

Winnipeg, July 3rd.

[Ders]

Are they official? Is someone making money?

[Adam DeVine]

Like somebody's cashing in?

[Ders]

Is Dreamworks cashing in on this?

[Adam DeVine]

Oh, that's a great question. I think it's not sanctioned.

[Blake Anderson]

I think you can get away with it if it's live.

[Adam DeVine]

Ders, check it out. October 9, Oslo, Norway. Vulcan Arena. Shrek rave is coming to Oslo.

[Ders]

Well, as long as you say oh, slow.

[Blake Anderson]

Oslo.

[Adam DeVine]

What is. Is that how Oslo?

[Ders]

It's awesome.

[Blake Anderson]

Oh, so. Oh, Blake, you're oh, so slow.

[Ad Read Voice]

Oh, what?

[Adam DeVine]

Okay, very good.

[Blake Anderson]

Oh, slow.

[Adam DeVine]

Have you been to Oslo?

[Ders]

I have, yeah.

[Adam DeVine]

That's tight, dude.

[Ders]

I went a coup years ago.

[Blake Anderson]

It's Oslo. Right? Oslo.

[Ders]

And you know what? They had bunch of license plates with my name on it from last week. I think we talked about that.

[Adam DeVine]

Son of a. Yeah, well, there's two Shrek raves back to back nights. That's how big it is out in Oslo.

[Ders]

Why did you skip right past Palmdale and Hollywood on the July 17? Where you going to be, dude?

[Adam DeVine]

Should we pull up at the Palladium? The Palladium Shrek rave is about to Go off, dude. So are people. I mean, this is just a. This turns into a fest.

[Commercial Voice]

Right?

[Adam DeVine]

This is Shrek's donkeys. Four quads. Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

That's what it's all all about for Blake.

[Ders]

They're all four quads.

[Blake Anderson]

I think everything always does for someone like you. When you go to Comic Con and there's just like a furry walking with Sailor Moon.

[Adam DeVine]

Right.

[Blake Anderson]

And then, like, you know, Donatello from the Ninja Turtles and, like, they're all going home. And these three are.

[Jenny Garth]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

Each other's brains out.

[Ders]

Loose butthole smush.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Announcer]

Yeah.

[Adam DeVine]

It's the culture.

[Blake Anderson]

Some weird is going down anytime anyone gets dressed up. Anytime you put. If it's not just regular going out clothes.

[Adam DeVine]

Right.

[Blake Anderson]

If you're doing anything extra, it's to either someone's brains out or get your brains out.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Adam DeVine]

It's a bagel.

[Blake Anderson]

If there's any amount of Doing any amount of anything extra. Allegedly.

[Adam DeVine]

Sure. If you're painting your body in any way, does this go for, like, just

[Ders]

people dressing up normally?

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, if it's. If it's too much. If it's too much.

[Adam DeVine]

Okay, so we gotta have Adam run

[Ders]

for president just so someone can be in charge who's like. And I'll decide what's too much.

[Blake Anderson]

It was too much. Yeah. I'm the best. I'm the greatest.

[Adam DeVine]

I think if there's any form of painting.

[Ders]

I mean, you're not wrong. You're not wrong. When you see people walking around with the titties out at Comic Con, I'm always like, yeah.

[Adam DeVine]

Or the Ren Fair.

[Ders]

You're gonna break these little guys brains walking around like this. Oh, yeah.

[Adam DeVine]

Yep.

[Ders]

You're gonna.

[Blake Anderson]

You're gonna be fizzled out or just even. Even like, my gym is directly across the street from Nobu.

[Adam DeVine]

Okay.

[Ders]

So it's the Adam, go get him.

[Blake Anderson]

I'm not at the Nobu. I'm across the street. And you from like the. The upstairs cardio equipment. It overlooks the valet where you pull up right in front of Nobu. And the amount of, like, extra flossing.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

People do.

[Announcer]

Right.

[Blake Anderson]

To just go out. I'm like, the only reason to do that is to. Or get perfect. There's no other reason.

[Ders]

Knock the brains out. Do we leave the brains out?

[Blake Anderson]

I think you couldn't clip that. Todd. Make sure to clip when I said the brains out earlier.

[Commercial Voice]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

And splice it into that. Thank you.

[Adam DeVine]

But Nobu is an extremely. Like, Is a. Is an expensive restaurant. Like, these are people going there for, like, anniversaries.

[Ders]

Or they're a nice restaurant but it's

[Blake Anderson]

also become kind of like anniversaries. So you're going to want to brains out.

[Ders]

Yeah, it's like a fancy Cheesecake factory at this point.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah. Well, how. What's the average price of a dish at Nobu, Todd.

[Blake Anderson]

But what is your point? What is your point?

[Commercial Voice]

Point?

[Blake Anderson]

It's expensive.

[Adam DeVine]

You gotta dress. You're gonna. You're not going to expensive restaurant to not. Dude, that's right.

[Blake Anderson]

That's what I'm saying.

[Adam DeVine]

Absolutely right. Yes. But you can correct.

[Blake Anderson]

You can. Because Chloe and I will go sometimes we're not, you know, we will go and we'll. We'll just go in like a. I'll wear a T shirt and jeans and. Well, you're an act because it's not. You're an actor.

[Adam DeVine]

Okay, well that's, that's elite. That's elite. You're. You're an elite. You're a Hollywood elite. It for the average Joe.

[Ders]

Nobu prides itself on being a place that's like kind of slick and sleek and like you dress up to go there because it's Nobu.

[Blake Anderson]

Okay, well maybe, maybe Nobu was the bad example. But I'm just. Because I see it so often of just like people flaw like wearing the craziest women wearing the craziest outfits and guys just looking like they are like car salesman.

[Jenny Garth]

Right.

[Blake Anderson]

You know what I mean?

[Ders]

Like, dude, this is all those women have. Yeah. They don't do anything. They dress up to go out or.

[Blake Anderson]

No, just guys looking like they're Dallas Reigns. Like every guy pulls up looks like he is Dallas Reigns. If you don't know who Dallas Reigns

[Adam DeVine]

is, looks like a weatherman.

[Ders]

Have you seen him lately? He is on fire.

[Adam DeVine]

Los Angeles's weatherman.

[Blake Anderson]

Los Angeles weatherman. His name is Dallas Rains and he's exactly what you think he would look like. Like silver hair that swooped back, you know what. With the biggest fakest teeth you' ever seen.

[Adam DeVine]

Always tan as hell.

[Blake Anderson]

So tan. And he's always dressed like he's about to someone's brains out.

[Adam DeVine]

He looks like a hot ass Crypt keeper.

[Ders]

I just watched him the other day and he's starting to look like a we weathered man. Oh, he's not looking.

[Announcer]

Okay.

[Adam DeVine]

The roast of Dallas Reigns.

[Ders]

He's always looked good. But just recently I was like, I don't know. I think the reigns need to be passed.

[Blake Anderson]

Okay.

[Jenny Garth]

Yes.

[Blake Anderson]

Point Lord, take the reins Lord, take the raid.

[Ders]

I think he is a legend.

[Adam DeVine]

Yes.

[Ders]

But I think the time has come. I think we need to see a new Dallas Reigns type guy for a new generation. It's, it's like LeBron, LeBron, you did it. You're a legend. Maybe it's time. Maybe it's time.

[Adam DeVine]

Pass the torch or take the reign.

[Ders]

And I'm not saying it is. I'm saying maybe it's time.

[Adam DeVine]

It's really hard to get rid of your, your local news people because you really grow, feel comfortable with them. And seeing them leave it, I feel like a piece of your heart goes with them.

[Ders]

Sure.

Peyronie's disease, or PD for short. PD can happen when scar tissue builds up under the skin of the penis.

[Ders]

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.

[Adam DeVine]

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

[Blake Anderson]

Well, I remember my dad was friendly. I won't say friends, but friendly with the Omaha weatherman Jim Flowers. And he always had a flower. What do they call that? A brooch? A boutonniere. Like you would have when you went to, like, prom or whatever. Sorry, burped. When you go to prom or whatever. My dad would say, whatever.

[Adam DeVine]

You didn't go, you didn't get invited or whatever.

[Blake Anderson]

Get invited or whatever.

[Ders]

When you go to prom, usually the

[Blake Anderson]

guy would invite the girl. Blake.

[Adam DeVine]

Not me, bro.

[Ders]

Okay, I see that you were too scared.

[Blake Anderson]

So finally a girl was like, blake, do you just. Would you like to go to prom? Thank you. Thank you for asking me.

[Ders]

We're cousins, though.

[Adam DeVine]

I am laughing, but that is what happened. But go ahead.

[Jenny Garth]

What?

[Blake Anderson]

You were too. You were too nervous to ask the girl.

[Adam DeVine]

I didn't want to go.

[Blake Anderson]

I didn't want to go, Rebel. Sure.

[Adam DeVine]

I think I just tagged along with a girl who wanted to go. Why?

[Blake Anderson]

Because your friends were having a mean game of Dungeons and Dragons in someone's basement? Well, for sure.

[Adam DeVine]

Half of my dude crew was not in attendance at the prom. Absolutely not.

[Blake Anderson]

I'm convinced. If you didn't want to go, Kyle was.

[Ders]

Yeah, Kyle was on the court or whatever, wasn't he?

[Blake Anderson]

Oh, yeah, I'm on the. I was on the court, dog.

[Ders]

Nice.

[Blake Anderson]

If you didn't want to go to prom or homecoming that's just because you didn't have anyone. That you weren't going to harden your hair.

[Adam DeVine]

No.

[Blake Anderson]

And wear your shiniest shirts and try to someone's pants.

[Adam DeVine]

Well, for sure I'm not going because I didn't. I didn't feel like there was a huge chance of me getting laid off of going to prom.

[Ders]

But that's not even why you go.

[Blake Anderson]

Well, no. It's high school. You're not.

[Ders]

You don't go to your brains that are. Have your brains.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

That's not really why you're going.

[Ad Read Voice]

Yeah.

[Adam DeVine]

Then why are you going to prom? I'm not going to dance. I don't. I don't like those kind of events.

[Ders]

It's about sneaking alcohol. You go to dinner.

[Commercial Voice]

Yes.

[Ders]

And then you go in a limo split between. Seen 40 people all shoved in there. Someone's got a backpack full of Snapple and vodka.

[Blake Anderson]

And by the way, the girls. The girls are dressed prettier than they've ever been dressed.

[Adam DeVine]

Sure.

[Ders]

Sure.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah, there's a. Yeah, there's a.

[Blake Anderson]

They're covered in glitter. It's pretty exciting.

[Adam DeVine]

It's like we're going to Nobu.

[Blake Anderson]

Yes. There will be the three guys who know how to break dance in your high school.

[Adam DeVine]

Yes.

[Blake Anderson]

There will be a circle around them. Right. They will be doing all their moves at the. They've been doing since sixth grade.

[Adam DeVine]

Well, now you're losing me.

[Ders]

Now they will. You're losing me. They will play black street.

[Blake Anderson]

No, see, Blake, this is when you're losing me again.

[Ders]

You sh.

[Blake Anderson]

That's you. I know you, Blake. I guarantee you, you would.

[Ders]

You would.

[Blake Anderson]

You like this stuff. I. I know you do. I know you do. You're pretending like you don't because you weren't invited.

[Adam DeVine]

No, there's not. Why I win.

[Ders]

And. And guys get to dress up. You know how I know? Kyle dressed like the dude who tried to shoot up the White House the other day. Guy. They showed a picture. Him, he's in like a black shirt, black tie with like herb black suit, black shirt with like a red tie. Just like full on like 90s California prom outfit. And then. And I seen Kyle wearing that fit hardcore.

[Blake Anderson]

Oh, yeah, yeah, for sure. You. You would get your hair as hard as you possibly can. I. I liked all that stuff. I. I liked going to prom and homecoming and, you know, the older you got, the less cool it was. By senior year, like the last dance, you're like, like, all right, well, we got to do this again. But it's mostly about just you guys

[Ders]

have prom as a freshman, though.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah, I guess maybe I have junior prom. Yes.

[Blake Anderson]

Y. Junior and senior.

[Ders]

Oh, we just had prom.

[Adam DeVine]

Ooh.

[Blake Anderson]

For everybody. For freshmen and sophomores as well.

[Ders]

No, just prom for seniors. Seniors prom.

[Adam DeVine]

There was no junior prom.

[Ders]

No junior prom.

[Blake Anderson]

Oh, the juniors and seniors got to go.

[Ders]

You want to know? And by the way, I'm a loser.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah.

[Adam DeVine]

Okay, let's hear it.

[Blake Anderson]

That's right.

[Adam DeVine]

Gotcha. Let's hear it. That's right. You went to. None.

[Ders]

My girl. My girlfriend Emma, now wife, was a senior. I came back from college and went to prom.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah, that is some dude. When the dude was coming back.

[Blake Anderson]

But that. But it's what, a year? Just one year, right?

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Adam DeVine]

Okay.

[Blake Anderson]

Well, one year.

[Ders]

But I'd seen the world, dude. I'd been all the way to Wisconsin.

[Adam DeVine]

Yes, but what are you gonna do? You're gonna just let your girl. Exactly. Either she has to not go, or she's gonna what? Go stag.

[Ders]

And by the way, it's not like I didn't know a ton of people.

[Guest Host]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

You know, all those people. Like, one grade. One grade is fine. When you're go. When it's like, you've been out of school.

[Ders]

Thank you.

[Blake Anderson]

For more than one year.

[Ders]

Healing has.

[Blake Anderson]

You've been out of school for several.

[Ders]

Because whenever I walk into a room,

[Blake Anderson]

I go, they're gonna know.

[Ders]

I don't think these people know that I went to prom after I came back from college, but they can probably feel it and sense it. They just know I'm that guy. And so the fact that you've said this. Adam, thank you very much.

[Blake Anderson]

I think you're fine.

[Ders]

Thank you.

[Adam DeVine]

What is so bad about going to prom? Like, stag or whatever? How come you can't just roll up solo? Dolo. Like, nothing.

[Ders]

You could go, but I will. I will say that.

[Blake Anderson]

Just go and have fun.

[Ders]

Blake, I think once upon a time. I think once upon a time, there is an element of like. Like, can you just link up with a person?

[Blake Anderson]

Yes. I think that is what it is. Don't be a. And just ask somebody.

[Ders]

Just ask somebody. And by the way, if they say no, and when they say no, Blake,

[Blake Anderson]

you ask someone else. Or when they say no, oh, my God, you ask someone else.

[Adam DeVine]

Okay.

[Blake Anderson]

Yes. Someone else's little sister.

[Adam DeVine]

Understood. And on to the my next target, huh?

[Ad Read Voice]

But.

[Ders]

And I think 20, 26 here. I bet that's probably changed. I bet going as, like, a group is probably, like, the thing. But there is something to going. You know what? I'm going to Do. I'm going to ask this person. We're going to go together. We're going to have a time together. And it doesn't have to be our brains out, but let's just have a good time.

[Blake Anderson]

It's not about brain touch.

[Adam DeVine]

And. Of course.

[Ders]

And. Well, and that's kind of. It could be just the tradition of, like, all right, I'm going to. I'm going to be a gentleman tonight.

[Jenny Garth]

Let me.

[Guest Host]

Your brain.

[Ders]

Second.

[Blake Anderson]

No, but brains.

[Adam DeVine]

I agree.

[Commercial Voice]

Agree.

[Adam DeVine]

I definitely see the value in it now. Like, getting the courage to ask somebody dressing up. Like, it's good for, like, getting them a boutonniere.

[Ders]

It's just. It's a. It's just another social experiment. That's all it is.

[Blake Anderson]

So did you not go, Blake or you. You did.

[Adam DeVine]

I went to both my senior and junior prom. Yes.

[Blake Anderson]

Okay. Those are the grades.

[Adam DeVine]

Yes. Because I went with Claire and I went with Elise. I don't remember her name.

[Blake Anderson]

Okay. Forgot her name.

[Adam DeVine]

Very cool. It was one of my friend's sisters.

[Ders]

Okay.

[Adam DeVine]

Okay.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

Huh.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

And that's because that friend's mom, like, was just, like, just go with Blake. And he doesn't have anyone to go with.

[Adam DeVine]

I. I can't remember. Honestly, I'm, like, really racking my brain on how I ended up getting her as my date, but I don't recall asking her. I think it was forced upon me.

[Ders]

And Blake, was her name Elise? Because it was, like, a temporary thing. Like, Elise, like, you know,

[Blake Anderson]

Blake.

[Adam DeVine]

I don't know. Come on. I don't know.

[Ders]

By the way, you get to prom and all the girls just go hang out with each other anyway.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah, everybody.

[Ders]

And then the dudes are sitting there being like, I'm not drunk anymore. I'm not drunk anymore. This is the worst.

[Blake Anderson]

Yes.

[Adam DeVine]

See, you're. You're. You. You. Did both you guys get up to go? Yeah, I was too scared to do that at that point. I.

[Blake Anderson]

Yes. Well, we drank before. I wouldn't say we were up.

[Adam DeVine]

Right.

[Blake Anderson]

But, like, yeah, you got. You got a little drunk.

[Ders]

You had to get in, and the parents were, like, screaming.

[Blake Anderson]

They're like, smelling breath as you're like.

[Adam DeVine]

Yes. I remember them making it pretty hard to show up your wallet.

[Announcer]

And then.

[Blake Anderson]

And then if you went in to the bathroom with any amount of group.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Ad Read Voice]

Then.

[Blake Anderson]

Then teachers are like, they're going in. They're.

[Ad Read Voice]

They're looking.

[Blake Anderson]

But I remember people, like, hiding like flasks in their shoes.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah. Isn't that the whole. That's the fun of it. Right.

[Ad Read Voice]

Yes.

[Ders]

It's the cat and mouse. It's the tails. All this time.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah. But remember, I remember that. Insane. Like, if they catch you drinking, like at the prom, you, like, won't graduate. Like, that's it.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah.

[Ders]

You don't get to walk. Walk, I think, is what we had. Yeah.

[Adam DeVine]

Which kind of would be a bummer, right?

[Ders]

And I was like, yeah, I think

[Blake Anderson]

that would be a bummer for like, your parents. For you, I think could be like, what?

[Adam DeVine]

Who could.

[Blake Anderson]

I like. I. I'm trying to remember because I saw a video of like now, like, the thing is like, AI is saying like kids names.

[Adam DeVine]

Oh, yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

And they're like butchering their names. Oh, that's cool. They're like, do the AI is just like up someone's name.

[Ders]

Right.

[Adam DeVine]

It's like. It's like when there used to be the ET Ride at Universal Studios and it'd be like, goodby I black. Like, I couldn't say your pronoun.

[Ders]

Yeah, I. I sure probably like that.

[Blake Anderson]

I guess it's like that any of my.

[Adam DeVine]

Any of tii nation who remembers the ET Ride. It was amazing. He couldn't say your name very well at the end.

[Blake Anderson]

Well, he's E.T. i don't think he's had any. Any words very well.

[Ders]

He did.

[Adam DeVine]

He did. On this ride, he would say goodbye to everybody. Goodbye, aub. It was cool. Dude, that ride kick, that is sick.

[Ders]

That's just an accent. And honestly, say a little racist what you're doing right now. That's just how aliens speak.

[Blake Anderson]

Offended.

[Adam DeVine]

Sorry. I. I know. My apology.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, that's. He's extraterrestrial. You know, he certainly is.

[Ders]

He's extra.

[Adam DeVine]

So a. The principal isn't reading names anymore.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, AI is doing it. And so I was just thinking back to like, here we go. To like when I walked and I'm like, I don't remember really walking. I remember them being worried that I was going to do something.

[Adam DeVine]

Oh, like, here it goes.

[Blake Anderson]

Or cause a scene.

[Adam DeVine]

Right.

[Blake Anderson]

And I didn't.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

And I remember I auditioned to give the speech. I wrote like a really heartfelt, very. What I thought was a great speech that was funny. And I auditioned for it and it crushed in the room of like the 100 people that are there, all the teachers, administration, to see who gets to. To give the speech because it's the valedictorian.

[Adam DeVine]

And then they have one other kid and this guy. Guy.

[Blake Anderson]

And I did not get it because they thought I was gonna it up.

[Adam DeVine]

Right.

[Blake Anderson]

Or. Or say something, you know, to Get a rise. No, no, no, no. But. So I was like, I don't even remember walking across the stage. I don't. I remember the party the night before.

[Ders]

Yeah, I don't remember.

[Blake Anderson]

But I don't remember the walk.

[Ders]

And I remember shaking the principal's hand and going, bet you didn't think this was gonna happen. I'm a dumbass.

[Blake Anderson]

Is that right? Did you actually.

[Ders]

No, no, no, I don't remember.

[Blake Anderson]

Did the principal.

[Guest Host]

I think.

[Ders]

I think he might have said it to me. That's. You didn't think this was going to happen?

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah, I. I kind of remember it. But it is interesting that it isn't something like a real solid memory. But, like, now kids do wild ass. Like, they'll do a backflip or they,

[Ders]

like, dunk on the teacher.

[Adam DeVine]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Like, what are you doing just dunking on your teacher? They'll do, like.

[Blake Anderson]

I mean, that's pretty sick.

[Ders]

And every teacher has to be like, well, okay, if I see you on the streets, I'm gon you.

[Adam DeVine]

I can beat your ass now. You're not my student anymore.

[Ders]

Yep, that's right. That's right, bro.

[Adam DeVine]

Or they'll be like, dudes will, like, do rock, paper, scissors with, like, their mom back home or something.

[Blake Anderson]

Like, somehow it's being with their mom back home.

[Jenny Garth]

What is that?

[Adam DeVine]

I don't know. Maybe that's college.

[Ders]

There were so many Shreks, Adam. There's so many Shrek.

[Adam DeVine]

No. For some reason.

[Blake Anderson]

Wait, what is there. We're talking about walking during graduation. So what does that have to do

[Adam DeVine]

with graduation is being. Being. Is. Is being aired? Like, maybe it's on public access. I don't know. I feel like I've seen this.

[Blake Anderson]

Public Access YouTube. Yeah.

[Adam DeVine]

I don't know. I've seen this several times now where people will, like, get their diploma and then. Then, like, throw a rock, paper, scissors with somebody who's at home watching the graduation.

[Ders]

How do they know who's.

[Adam DeVine]

They don't. The people are filming it at home and they're like, oh, you. It's. I don't know, man.

[Blake Anderson]

I have no idea what you're talking about. And neither desired listeners or viewers.

[Ders]

You lose.

[Blake Anderson]

I'm sorry, what is that? Isn't it like Billy Madison where it's like, no one understands what you're talking about? Kill yourself. It doesn't.

[Adam DeVine]

People are stupider. From. For listening to you. Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

For. Yes.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ders]

Adam's not saying that. He's just quoting the movie. That's all.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Blake Anderson]

Just Saying, wasn't that in the movie?

[Adam DeVine]

I'll see myself out. Yeah. I don't really remember walking this stage either. I think I was pretty damn nervous, though.

[Blake Anderson]

Why?

[Adam DeVine]

I don't know. Why? I don't know. Just was, like, a big moment. That's probably the biggest moment of your life at that point.

[Ders]

Someone was behind Blake going every time he took a step.

[Adam DeVine]

What was the biggest moment of your life? I feel like that was, for me, last week's episode.

[Blake Anderson]

I don't know. I had already done stand up, like, in comedy clubs at that point. I was. I was already, like, trying to do stuff.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah.

[Ders]

Adam was selling water beds over the phone.

[Adam DeVine]

But this is a way bigger.

[Blake Anderson]

Not an audience. You're literally just walking a.

[Adam DeVine]

What do you mean?

[Blake Anderson]

You don't. You're not. I. I mean, I tried to give a speech. They wouldn't allow it to happen, but, like.

[Ders]

Like, walked like this.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

Were you. Did you do a performance at your graduation? They literally call your name. You go up, you grab the diploma, you shake a hand, and then.

[Adam DeVine]

I know, but that's your moment. That's your moment in front of, like, 2,000 people.

[Blake Anderson]

And you were nervous to. You were nervous to walk.

[Ders]

That's your moment.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah, it's your moment. They call your name. You. If you trip.

[Ders]

Like, your moment was the four years. Baby. Before that.

[Ad Read Voice]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

You sweet little baby boy. The fact that you were nervous. The fact that you chose a career in entertainment and you were nervous to walk across stage and just take.

[Adam DeVine]

You didn't have butterflies in your stomach when you were graduating high school? You had no. Sort of like, he had Jagermeister in his stomach, bro. I. I'm. I feel like I am not in the minority here. I feel like everybody.

[Blake Anderson]

Like, that is okay.

[Ders]

I.

[Blake Anderson]

Yes. I. I don't think you're in the minority, but you are a professional comedian.

[Adam DeVine]

Sure. And an actor at the time.

[Ders]

And you know what?

[Blake Anderson]

But you were going to have a career in it. To have butterflies, to walk across the stage and take a diploma. That. That, to me, seems crazy, considering the field that you went into.

[Ders]

Let me ask you this, Blake, to defend you. Not that you need it, but.

[Adam DeVine]

Thank you.

[Ders]

You need something. Listen, do you consider yourself like, an entertainer or like a creator who likes to make stuff as opposed to somebody who's like, I like to do this to entertain people, or do you just like to do this to put a thing out and then if people like it, great.

[Adam DeVine]

I think it has gone through waves. But at that time in high school, like, I Was doing the school plays and improv and all that. I was entertaining people, so.

[Ders]

But did you do it to entertain people, or did you do it because you were like, that felt cool and good to be this other person and then, yeah, sure, go out and bow. But, like, I don't need to bow at the end of the thing. This doesn't do anything for me.

[Adam DeVine]

No, I think for sure. In high school, I was doing it to entertain people 100%.

[Ders]

And so this was the largest audience

[Adam DeVine]

you had, I think it was just, and it wasn't, it wasn't me being funny. It was just like a very, like their family had flown in from places. Like, it was just like, people were there to see me be.

[Blake Anderson]

Yes, but, and, and I agree that it. Graduated from high school is a big deal. I guess. I, I, I mean, the whole time for, for high school, I was like, obviously I was gonna graduate from high school. Like, it was never in question.

[Ders]

People at my high school go absolutely ape.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

Was it because a lot of kids, like, wouldn't graduate or like, basically, yeah. Okay, well, if that's the case.

[Ders]

But also people are just praying, proud, and they're loud. Proud and loud.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah. Yeah, man.

[Blake Anderson]

I get, I get college. I would take it to more of a thing because you really, really had to work for it. I feel like my high school, if you weren't graduating, like, you really up somewhere along the way.

[Ders]

I would say my experience was college was less so because it's kind of like, well, yeah, I went to college. I'm going to graduate.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah, I paid for it, which.

[Ders]

And I spoke at Wisconsin, and I had to be like, hey, I know, like, some of you guys, guys don't give a about this, but the person next to you might really care. So, like, let's give a genuine applaud for everybody who gives a shit today. Because some of these kids are like, yeah, dude, I went to college.

[Blake Anderson]

What?

[Ders]

That's what you're supposed to do. You graduate and then you just go work in Chicago or New York and you make money. And this is just part of it. Other people are like, this is like a huge step for me and my family or and all that kind of thing. It's a real mixed bag.

[Blake Anderson]

But also, to me, college is a much larger deal. One, it costs a lot of money, and the classes are harder, and you do have to really apply yourself. High school was such a fucking breeze.

[Ders]

But the people in college are generally privileged people who've gone to, who've come from families that went to College, generally. Right. You know, that's all.

[Blake Anderson]

Yes.

[Adam DeVine]

A lot of people don't go to college. So most of my family, most of my friends going back home, like high school, is it, that's, that's it. You're done with your education.

[Blake Anderson]

You don't, you don't want, you don't learn a thing.

[Adam DeVine]

You don't learn nothing.

[Ders]

Unless they listen to the pod, then they're learning every week.

[Adam DeVine]

Peter north so I, I, I don't know. I think that for a lot of people, that is their one moment of glory, I guess, in.

[Blake Anderson]

Yes, I, I, I'm saying I understand for people like, I have friends that you, you tell them to tell a story at a dinner table when you're, when there's like eight people out to dinner and they get butterflies and are nervous and can't do it. But for someone who picked a career in entertainment, who, I, I knew you when you were, literally, you graduated two months before is when I met you for the first time. And I'm like, that kid, to me, didn't seem like the kid that would be nervous to walk on stage and, and take a, I think, I think

[Adam DeVine]

it's just because it was such a foreign environment. I'm, like, being acknowledged for education. It's like, it's, I'm not going up there. I didn't have, like, something funny I was gonna do. I was just kind of.

[Ders]

Right.

[Adam DeVine]

Even though I, Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

Being sincere, the sincerity of it.

[Ders]

Yeah, that's what it is. It's just the sincerity of, like, oh, this is a real milestone in my real life.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah. I don't, I still, to the, to this day, I don't love being sincere. I'm doing all this stuff for children's hospitals. Right. So I'm now, now the ambassador for Children's Miracle.

[Ders]

These kids are dying.

[Blake Anderson]

Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. And I, I, I am giving all these talks about my experience when I was hit by this man truck and what I, the trials and tribulations that I had to go through. But the part where I can just be funny and, like, kind of be a goof, I love it. That's when I'm, I'm in my wheelhouse. But then when it, when I have to be really sincere, that's when it feels very uncomfortable and I don't love it and it doesn't come naturally.

[Adam DeVine]

Right. I think we all kind of fall back on comedy as a, as a blanket, as a comfort. Like, you know, that's, that's sort of what, that's what we do. That's what we are.

[Blake Anderson]

Not me. You.

[Ders]

Yeah, I don't know if I even understand what you're talking about talking about, but being serious.

[Adam DeVine]

Being serious is not my comfort zone at all. And if I have to actually sound smart or say something.

[Blake Anderson]

No, no. Like say something prolific. Count me. Count me out.

[Adam DeVine]

There's a way.

[Ders]

Say something, bro. Lift it.

[Adam DeVine]

Now that I could do.

[Jenny Garth]

This is the way.

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.

[Ders]

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.

[Adam DeVine]

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.

[Ders]

Okay, guys, what would be your. Like, where would you never, ever want to, like, speak? Or, like, would you want to, like, if someone's like, hey, Blake, you're an actor. You've been doing this forever. Will you come speak at, like, where'd you go? Clayton Valley? Will you go. Will you speak in front of Clayton Valley's, like, drama class? Like, would that be a nightmare for you or something? You're just like, I don't want to tell these kids how to do it. I don't know, like, if my journey is the one or what.

[Adam DeVine]

Here's the thing. I think like a. Like a theater class, A little drama.

[Ders]

Be funny.

[Adam DeVine]

Drama class. Yeah, I could do that all day. But if they were like, hey, come to, like, come to the, like, auditorium and like, speak in front of the whole school about, like, life after. Life after high school. But then I.

[Blake Anderson]

We did do that.

[Adam DeVine]

What do you mean?

[Blake Anderson]

We gave the commencement speech at Orange Coast Community College.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah, we did. We did.

[Blake Anderson]

We. We literally did that. And Ders did that at Wisconsin. We've done what you're currently saying you wouldn't do.

[Ders]

I guess.

[Adam DeVine]

I guess I kind of. I guess I was kind of blackout.

[Ders]

This is interesting now.

[Blake Anderson]

This is.

[Adam DeVine]

No, that was really. That was.

[Ders]

Huh.

[Adam DeVine]

That was fun. I'm. I'm proud that we. That I mustered up the courage to do that and it was fun and I think I did okay. But I. Yeah, I don't.

[Blake Anderson]

It was also nice. I think Durs. Ders has done very good because you've done it, what, twice now?

[Ders]

I did Wisconsin. I did my high school eth. Yes.

[Blake Anderson]

So you've done it twice, and I thought you did a great job. I think for Blake and myself,

[Ad Read Voice]

it

[Blake Anderson]

was nice to have each other there. Like, I've done a ton of stand up, but I'VE it. But you're right. The sincerity of it. I'm not comfortable doing.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

You know, and just to have you. So then we could kind of make fun of each other a little bit in certain moments.

[Adam DeVine]

I don't know. What's weird is, like, I don't remember

[Ders]

making fun of you.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah, I was pretty sure since you're. But I think also you see me and you walk out to do the speech, they're like, oh, this is going to be dumb and funny or whatever. When maybe when you see Anders come out there, it's a little more mysterious.

[Ders]

Do this again, please.

[Adam DeVine]

He put his hands together, intelligent. Maybe he's going to say something that might really resonate.

[Ders]

No, I just told him not to do cocaine.

[Adam DeVine]

Well, that's huge. That's a.

[Blake Anderson]

That's good advice.

[Ders]

That was sincere. I was like, don't do it. Just don't do it.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah. And if you already have, knock it off.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah. Just chug energy.

[Ders]

The joke was that I see some of you guys nodding that you already have parents. I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to the kids. So it was a don't do cocaine, kids. And also your kid, your parents have done cocaine. So it was a kind of a fun little twist.

[Adam DeVine]

Oh, your speech sounds cool.

[Blake Anderson]

I gotta re watch it. I don't remember this cocaine runner.

[Ders]

I was a little shocked because they read it and he was like, the cocaine bit. And I was like, thank you. And he's like, and the white rappers, we still got them.

[Blake Anderson]

Who read it.

[Ders]

The principal, the dean of students was like, we got all these white rappers. Light them up. And I was like, I'm on it.

[Adam DeVine]

I gotta watch this speech. It's about cocaine and white rappers on YouTube somewhere. Cool, dude. Dang. I feel like me and Adam, tradition

[Ders]

and, like, unlike any other.

[Adam DeVine]

I think Adam and I, we covered kind of similar territory.

[Ders]

White rappers and cocaine.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah, yeah, Virus. We wrapped and did cocaine on stage. And you're like, this is cool, dude.

[Blake Anderson]

And they're like, this checks out. This is the graduating class of 2018 or whatever.

[Adam DeVine]

Go wave. Is it? Don't they say, go wave or something?

[Ders]

I think it's like, I don't.

[Adam DeVine]

I don't know.

[Commercial Voice]

I don't know.

[Adam DeVine]

I gotta go back.

[Blake Anderson]

Go Pirates, dude.

[Ders]

All I remember about, like, the graduation for these kids was that. And I feel like I've covered this, but, like, when they were like, who had a 3.5 GP, almost everybody stood up. And then they were like, who had a 4.0 more people stood up. And then when it was like, who had a four, five? As many people as had a three, five stood up. And I was just like, what the is happening?

[Adam DeVine]

I'm very curious if it's just like, because I've noticed like with, you know, LA school district, like school's hella easy now.

[Ders]

Go off track.

[Adam DeVine]

Teachers do not give a fuck if you do your shit or not.

[Blake Anderson]

Well, it used to, to be our grading. I remember to get an a, it was 93% and over. That was an A.

[Ders]

93. Is that what you said? 93.

[Blake Anderson]

93%.

[Jenny Garth]

Yeah.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

To, to 100. Right now it's like 90 to 100. So you have an extra 3% to around.

[Adam DeVine]

You're in there.

[Ders]

I could do the, that I could,

[Adam DeVine]

I could use another four inches.

[Ders]

In all facets of life.

[Blake Anderson]

You need another four inches.

[Ders]

Yeah. And I do think they like have. Not that I didn't have teachers be like, yo, during lunch, come to this study session so we can help you. But I think like that stuff's a whole nother level now where it's like they'll, they got you. If you're slipping, you can redo that assignment and turn it back in. Like they must.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah. Tripping as hell. Like, I'm like, they're not even reading books anymore. It's like, I'm like, what book are you reading? It's like, we're not.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Adam DeVine]

It's like, what the dude?

[Ders]

And who are you asking? All these Shreks.

[Adam DeVine]

I don't even think my eldest has written a book report yet.

[Ders]

Really?

[Adam DeVine]

Sixth grade, no book report.

[Ders]

Really?

[Adam DeVine]

Not one that's like three pages long or whatever. I remember writing like long ass book reports, 10 pages. All this.

[Announcer]

Yeah.

[Adam DeVine]

They're not making kids do that anymore.

[Blake Anderson]

Well, this is, this is where it gets tricky because we're like, they're not learning and then what parents are doing. And I, I know people from my high school that are

[Jenny Garth]

idiots.

[Blake Anderson]

Just bona fide boneheads. Like total morons.

[Ders]

Not us.

[Blake Anderson]

I'm not a smart person. Person.

[Ders]

I'm not a smart.

[Blake Anderson]

I would not say I'm. I'm. I'm totally a dumbass.

[Ders]

You are so dumb.

[Blake Anderson]

I was infinitely more intelligent than a lot of these people.

[Guest Host]

Right.

[Adam DeVine]

That's cool.

[Blake Anderson]

They're homeschooling their children now. You're a stupid. And they're online talking about how they're not learning anything in school. So I took the bull by the horns and we're teaching them at home.

[Adam DeVine]

Home.

[Blake Anderson]

The way they should be Taught. And I'm like, no, don't. Oh God.

[Ders]

Let go of the bull.

[Adam DeVine]

A huge part of school is being around other kids like you. You're learning outside of the. The curriculum.

[Ders]

Okay.

[Blake Anderson]

And I will take it back. I know new a check is homeschooling his children. So this is not about him. This is not about him.

[Ders]

They're fine.

[Adam DeVine]

No. And it also depends at what age you're homeschooling. Like at some point you gotta let your kids get out of your into the world and be amongst other kids. Cuz they're going to teach you how to act. Your peers will.

[Ders]

All my friends were smarter than me, so they want to homeschool. Fine. But I know I should never homeschool.

[Blake Anderson]

No, you should.

[Ders]

And how do other people who have my intelligence level, how do they not know what is the. What is the like differentiator there where you're like, I'm going to do it?

[Blake Anderson]

Well, I actually was just talking. Someone said something. It was when I was big slick and I was drinking at the time, so I don't quite remember who said it.

[Adam DeVine]

Thing sucks.

[Blake Anderson]

But they were saying something about how smart you were.

[Adam DeVine]

And.

[Blake Anderson]

And I'm like, no, no, no. Yeah, that's what I. I'm trying to remember now. Maybe it's one of the impressive.

[Ders]

They're talking about you. They're saying how you.

[Blake Anderson]

How smart Wanders was you.

[Commercial Voice]

You.

[Adam DeVine]

Oh, you're asking about Anders.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, they. I don't know. I was saying about how dumb the three of us are. Like, Wander seems pretty smart. And I'm like, no, no, no, no.

[Adam DeVine]

Wow.

[Blake Anderson]

He's an idiot.

[Adam DeVine]

They didn't come to my defense.

[Blake Anderson]

No, they did not. They. They were like, yeah, again.

[Ad Read Voice]

Again.

[Ders]

Adam was drinking.

[Adam DeVine]

Who the was this?

[Blake Anderson]

I think it was one of the. The impractical jokers.

[Adam DeVine]

Okay.

[Blake Anderson]

And they were like, he is so

[Adam DeVine]

hung out with those guys.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

They're like, he's a. He's a really smart guy. And I'm like, he is very dumb, but. But also very smart. But he has to learn. You talking about you Wanders?

[Ders]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

You have to learn in the way that you learn.

[Ders]

Absolutely.

[Adam DeVine]

Right.

[Blake Anderson]

So if a teacher is trying to explain something, you can't get on their page.

[Ders]

No.

[Adam DeVine]

Right.

[Blake Anderson]

They have to get on your page and teach the way that you will. Which I'm sure was impossible as a teacher to try to teach you any. Anything. Because if it's not exactly how you can learn it, then you won't learn it that way.

[Ders]

That's true.

[Blake Anderson]

But you are a very smart person.

[Ders]

But I'm like, what are they basing this off of? That's my favorite thing is that I'm like, They're like, smart guy. I don't. I don't. I don't know.

[Announcer]

What.

[Blake Anderson]

I think you put on airs. I think you put on some airs.

[Adam DeVine]

I think it's the. I think it's Monsters of Monarch. You play like a scientist.

[Ders]

Cryptozoologist.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

It has to be. It has to be Monarch.

[Ders]

They must be hooked.

[Commercial Voice]

Yeah.

[Ders]

That's what it is.

[Blake Anderson]

It has to be.

[Adam DeVine]

Which is weird.

[Blake Anderson]

I feel like you. And I think I. I said this to them and I'm like, it's the polos. It's the fact when we were younger.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

And we were wearing like T shirts and jeans and look like some dumpy 20 year olds. You were wearing like, khakis and polos and look like you belong to a country club.

[Ders]

Right.

[Blake Anderson]

Which just makes you seem smarter. Even though obviously there's idiots. Idiots who belong to country clubs.

[Ders]

Right. Yes. Yes.

[Adam DeVine]

I also think that the backdrop is always me and Adam. So you are. You are being put in front of us. And we are like a cool. Like.

[Blake Anderson]

That's right. That's right.

[Ders]

We've covered this.

[Adam DeVine]

We up. We lift you up, brother.

[Ders]

I think it was Isaac, when Isaac first started representing us. And he'd be like, hey, like, I need you to get the guys. And I'm like, what? I'm the. And he's like, well, you know, you're like the responsible one. I'm like, I don't know if you've met us. Punk rock getting radical together. And like, you understand the inner workings. It's a miracle that anything gets done.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah.

[Ders]

Like, we all have to be like, yes, Wednesday, for sure. Wednesday we're going to get together. And it still might not even happen.

[Adam DeVine]

Well, that's why Comedy Central was genius in giving us Kevin Netton. It was a. It was smart to have. Have that because imagine if we were just raising each other, we would be little Lord of the Flies man.

[Ders]

Great movie. I watched the show, watch the new show. Didn't love it.

[Blake Anderson]

Is it a show?

[Ders]

Yeah, it's a show. It's a few episodes. I think it's four or six episodes, something like that.

[Adam DeVine]

That I could see that being pretty cool.

[Blake Anderson]

That apparently was the guy that did Adolescence. Oh, what is his name? Please, please look that up. They act actor who wrote and directed Adolescence, that Netflix show that was very intense and very cool.

[Ders]

Not that dark.

[Blake Anderson]

This was his new Project, Right. Yeah.

[Ders]

I don't know. I just watched it because I liked the OG Lord of the Flies movie. I used to watch that all the time.

[Adam DeVine]

I don't remember that, actually. I only read the book. I don't recall the.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah, I remember.

[Ders]

It was cool.

[Blake Anderson]

The book.

[Ders]

I didn't. Famously, I don't read.

[Adam DeVine]

You didn't read Lord of the Flies?

[Ders]

I mean, we had to, but I. I didn't like.

[Adam DeVine]

Sure, yeah, I know. But that book was actually kind of sick.

[Ders]

I know. I just, like. It's too many words.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah. I think that's the difference between Dur and myself when it came to, like, schooling is. I just did. I think Dur is probably smarter than me, but in his specific way that he has to learn and do the things. But I would just do the things. They're like, hey, you got to do this homework.

[Adam DeVine]

That's all school is.

[Blake Anderson]

And then I was like, okay. And then I just did the homework, and then I was able to get good grades.

[Guest Host]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

And then you just kind of know the stuff on the test because you did the homework.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

And you're like, it's. School's easy if you just do it. It's just annoying.

[Adam DeVine]

You just have to turn in the work. You turn in the work.

[Ders]

Did I tell you guys this?

[Blake Anderson]

What's that?

[Ders]

I think maybe I told you guys that I got a. I got a neighbor who went to Harvard, and he went to Stanford. She went to Harvard. He went to Stanford. They're bright people. And. And I was explaining how, like, you know, I just had to remind my

[Blake Anderson]

oldest kid how we make money.

[Ders]

Yeah, no, they. They're like.

[Blake Anderson]

I was explaining the podcast and how we make money, how we're neighbors.

[Ders]

Yeah, but so, like, my. My oldest kid's very bright, and he's fine, but also, like, can space out about stuff. He'll do, like, three assignments and be like, I forgot to turn him in. And like, well, dude, you. You've done them and you've done them well.

[Blake Anderson]

Just.

[Adam DeVine]

And that shit is in, bro.

[Blake Anderson]

Turn them in.

[Ders]

The responsibility part is just doing that. And I was like, you know, I just had a little talk with him about how it's like, look, man, if you listen in class, then you can do the homework, and if you do the homework, that's probably going to be what's on the test. So you'll be able to do well on the test.

[Adam DeVine]

Right.

[Ders]

They're all connected. And they looked at me like I was insane. And they were like, why did you even think you had to tell them that. And I go, well, when I was a kid, I didn't think about that. I just wouldn't listen in class. And then I'd get the homework, and I'd be like, well, I don't know how to do that because I didn't listen. And then I'd get to the test, and I'd go, this might as well be Japanese. I'm like, I don't even know, like, what these equations are.

[Adam DeVine]

No, I hear that.

[Blake Anderson]

I bet you were so difficult in Dude. I mean, I was difficult because I

[Ders]

just had feel about it. Except for a. Of couple. Couple teachers who were kind of annoying and wanted to help me. I was like, okay.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah. You took a stance against them. You didn't get Fs, though. Like, failing high school is legit hard.

[Ders]

I probably got four F's in high school.

[Adam DeVine]

You gotta try to fail that. That's like. They make it pretty hard.

[Ders]

No, I just didn't do anything. And I was busy. I was swimming. I was busy. I was like, this is gonna be. This is my thing. I got this. This is getting me into.

[Blake Anderson]

I'm a professional swimmer, and I'm gonna be a millionaire billionaire, so I don't need to learn business. Yeah, I don't need to learn.

[Adam DeVine]

You weren't. You weren't getting in trouble at home? Like, yeah, your parents were going, what the are you doing, bro? Why are you getting F's? Yeah, that's unacceptable.

[Blake Anderson]

Were your parents getting good grades? All right, sorry. Were your brothers getting good grades?

[Ders]

Yeah, my older brother was very smart. My middle brother worked harder. Wasn't like, as. I think just, like, didn't test as well, I think. Right. But did all the work and had good grades. And then I was just, like, a lost cause. But, like, yeah, my parents. I was grounded my entire, like, senior year. I was just grounded. They were just trying to keep me off the streets.

[Adam DeVine]

What ground? And grounded meant you were. Had to stay in your room or what?

[Ders]

No, Just couldn't, like, go out on the weekends because they were like, if you got to get above. They were like, you need all A's and B's to be un, not grounded. And I was like, it. What are we even talking about?

[Blake Anderson]

I guess I live here now. And this was before the Internet, right? So, like, what were you even doing?

[Adam DeVine]

I was just watching movies.

[Ders]

Writing movies or watching movies and being like, yeah, all right, well, here we go. But no, dude, it was like, I would finally get, like, a good report back from teachers that I could, like, show them and be like, look, I'm on the right track. And they're like, all right, you can go out. I'd be out till, like, three or four in the morning. And they go, oh, my God. You can't be out till 4 in the morning. Okay. And I'd be like, well, I haven't been out in six weeks. I'm catching up.

[Blake Anderson]

So when you went out in high school, was it. Was it. Were you guys going to Chicago? Because Blake and I lived very similar. I mean, besides that,

[Adam DeVine]

I. I mean,

[Blake Anderson]

we live very similar. Like, suburban.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

High school experiences.

[Announcer]

When.

[Blake Anderson]

When I went to Clayton Valley, Valley or Concord. When I went to Concord for the first time and they. Blake kept telling me he lives in the Bay Area and Oakland. Basically, it's Oakland. And then I got there, and it was exactly like my hometown.

[Ders]

Right.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah, it's. It's a suburb.

[Blake Anderson]

And I'm like, this is just a suburb.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

I mean, there's. I mean, there's a PF Chang. There's a Panda Express. There's a Chipotle.

[Adam DeVine]

Wait a minute. We don't have a Pfizer. Have changed, bro.

[Blake Anderson]

Whatever. You know, fast food. Like, just dumb fast food restaurants on every. Were you going to Chicago? Like, were you going out Downtown Chicago?

[Ders]

So on the north side, you're kind of far from downtown, but you would go out in what's. Rogers park is like, the first neighborhood, and you would go to, like, the DePaul bars, which are like, DePaul's like, the blue Demons.

[Blake Anderson]

So you were going to bars in high school.

[Adam DeVine]

So cool.

[Ders]

Like, later in high school, by the time you got, like, a decent. An ID, right. And definitely in college, before you were 21, because I had a fake ID, there was, like, a dry. We lived in, like, a dry town. There was, like, one bar.

[Blake Anderson]

Evanston, famously, is a dry town.

[Ders]

No belt. Dry town.

[Blake Anderson]

Literally. It is. Famously.

[Adam DeVine]

That's crazy.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah. I was not. I mean, even when I was, like, 22 and 3.

[Guest Host]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

And would go to a bar. They're like, take a walk, child. And I'm like, I. I really am. I really am. I'm 22 years old,

[Ders]

by the way. Not to, like, this was not every weekend. This was like, we would go sometimes, right? Yeah. Usually it was just like, someone's house, right.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah.

[Adam DeVine]

That's what we were drinking in.

[Blake Anderson]

Like, just driveways or garages on a golf course.

[Ders]

You know, we're like, no one can hear you. Like. Like the public golf course that kind of wove through.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah.

[Adam DeVine]

Town we drink in the park.

[Ders]

Yeah. We had a beach. You could just drink at the beach.

[Blake Anderson]

It was. It was a lot of drinking in, like, out of the back of someone's trunk. At Taco Bell.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah. Taco Bell parking lot is just a meat.

[Blake Anderson]

Taco Bell parking lot was a. A main hub of activity, dude. And now you drive past, like, a Taco Bell parking lot, and it just looks like a business park.

[Ders]

Go off.

[Blake Anderson]

It just looks like a. A business center, like the Taco Bell. I'm like, this doesn't.

[Ders]

They're on the wi fi. What are we saying?

[Adam DeVine]

They're beautiful.

[Blake Anderson]

This, like, this is a. It doesn't seem like a place teenagers are, like. Are going to, like, get their Baja blasts and their cinnamon twists.

[Ders]

Well, they're not out anymore.

[Adam DeVine]

No, man, they don't.

[Ders]

They're at home getting their dick sucked by a skunk robot.

[Blake Anderson]

By robots. Any takebacks? Any apologies? Any epic slams?

[Adam DeVine]

Like, to apologize to everybody for taking that walk. The ET Ride. Very specific. But anybody who did go on the ET Ride.

[Blake Anderson]

Totally fine. Blake. It's fine.

[Ders]

You don't have to apologize for that.

[Blake Anderson]

Well, you don't have to apologize for that, buddy. I feel like you're racist. It's fine. It finally came out.

[Ders]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

Finally came out.

[Ders]

You think aliens?

[Adam DeVine]

Yep. No, man. ET Come on. You know.

[Ders]

And now what. What should. Should ET Know? Perfect Angel English. Oh, but when I said earlier. I said earlier that people get their dick sucked by.

[Adam DeVine]

They're def.

[Ders]

This is what's happening.

[Blake Anderson]

And he has that chain on his neck. And then you gave him.

[Ad Read Voice]

Good.

[Blake Anderson]

Okay.

[Adam DeVine]

All right.

[Ders]

Yeah. What is that chain? Is that, like, a lady's necklace or. What is that?

[Adam DeVine]

I think I got this at, like, Claire's a long time ago.

[Ders]

Is it the keys of an old typewriter?

[Blake Anderson]

And that's who you took to prom?

[Ad Read Voice]

Claire.

[Adam DeVine]

Wow, bro.

[Ders]

Give it to him.

[Adam DeVine]

Yes.

[Commercial Voice]

Points.

[Blake Anderson]

There's any takebacks? Apologies. Epic slams.

[Ders]

Hey, let me just apologize to all those teachers who tried and failed. It's not you, it's me. But at the same time, I don't think you understood. I was going to be a pro swim running millionaire.

[Ad Read Voice]

Yeah. Yep.

[Blake Anderson]

You didn't know.

[Adam DeVine]

So now give it.

[Ders]

Give me a break. Hey, shout out to the Evanston ETHS boys track team. State champion. Set some records.

[Commercial Voice]

Oh, wow.

[Adam DeVine]

Up and down.

[Blake Anderson]

Track stars. Track stars.

[Adam DeVine]

Hey, this is for them.

[Commercial Voice]

Yes.

[Ders]

Points.

[Blake Anderson]

Points to them.

[Adam DeVine]

I think it's kicking fast, brother.

[Blake Anderson]

Bye. Everything that I said, this pod. And I apologize for maybe going in a little too hard on Blake. But, yeah, thanks, but.

[Adam DeVine]

But this is what we have to do. We got apologies with the big butt set.

[Ders]

We gotta push the envelope, you know, if he says there's a bunch of Shrek, I want to know how many.

[Adam DeVine]

Hey, and by the way, should we hit up the Palladium Shrek style? Should we go to the Shrek Rave? Live from the Shrek Rave.

[Ders]

I'm not interested.

[Blake Anderson]

But, yeah, maybe not. But I kind of doubt it.

[Ders]

I think he'll be into this. I can't remember what date it is, but maybe Todd can pull it up. It's in a while. Weird Al. Weird Al is playing, I think Honda Center.

[Adam DeVine]

Okay.

[Blake Anderson]

Oh, come on down. Come on down, Al.

[Adam DeVine]

Like three times. It's always a great show.

[Ders]

The Honda center is. That's some people. That's wild.

[Adam DeVine]

Oh, yeah.

[Ders]

And my kids are fully into Weird Al right now. They're on a run.

[Blake Anderson]

Hey, come on down. You guys could stay at the crib. Come on down. Let's make a whole weekend of it.

[Ders]

Let's do this.

[Adam DeVine]

Let's do it. Weird Al is the best gateway into music. It's like, I just love Weirdo. He does.

[Blake Anderson]

So, dude, that's where let's Get Weird got started.

[Adam DeVine]

Exactly. Exactly.

[Blake Anderson]

We started chanting let's get weird. At a Weird Al concert at the Orange County Fair.

[Adam DeVine]

Yes. The Poodle Hat Tour.

[Blake Anderson]

And we got the whole crowd to chant, let's get weird. And then a few years later, when we sold the show, we brought that into the writer's room, and away we go.

[Ders]

Dude, he's been doing this for almost 40 years.

[Adam DeVine]

He's the best.

[Ders]

And he's selling out. I assume he'll sell. Sell out. Honda Center.

[Adam DeVine]

That's first.

[Ders]

Another level. Who was. Who else is doing this?

[Adam DeVine]

I mean, probably like Billie Eilish.

[Blake Anderson]

Yeah. Like a ton of pop stars and rocks.

[Ders]

Billy Eilish has been doing it for 10 years.

[Adam DeVine]

Oh, okay. Yeah.

[Ders]

You guys are under. You guys are unreal. What are you doing right now, 40 years later?

[Adam DeVine]

You're saying people who are still.

[Blake Anderson]

I mean, there's a lot of rock stars that are selling out.

[Adam DeVine]

YouTube Green Day.

[Ders]

You guys are named. Naming the 0.1%.

[Blake Anderson]

Yes, I understand what you're trying to say.

[Ders]

Like a Green day and are the Rolling Stones and Beatles of our era.

[Adam DeVine]

You're right. You're right. Yeah. We're just crazy that Weird Al is doing it. He's a parody also.

[Ders]

Just like comedy.

[Blake Anderson]

He's a. He's a parody artist. It's cr. It's. Yeah, it's nuts. It's awesome.

[Ders]

It's wild.

[Blake Anderson]

And there's a reason, because he's great and he's dialed in and he genuinely is a great guy. You know, weirdly, it's him and Ric Flair that send send me good gifts and notes and cards for my birthday every year. Those two guys. Yeah. I think I've told you guys this before.

[Ders]

You got to get them together.

[Blake Anderson]

It's very strange. But I'll get like a personalized video from Weird Al.

[Adam DeVine]

Wow.

[Blake Anderson]

Just sending it to me, like texting it to me because I have his number.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

And I have his number. Know him. It's not like a cameo. And, and Ric Flair will like send me like, he send me shoes one year. Ric Flair shoes. He said.

[Adam DeVine]

Yeah.

[Blake Anderson]

I don't understand it. I'm like, this is a cool, huge flex. This is the coolest one, two punch of my childhood. But that's rad. Yeah.

[Adam DeVine]

Well, Shout out to Weirdo. No.

[Blake Anderson]

Another episode of shout out.
