i'm here with my compadre john thomas what up boom clap stokers and we're here with the legend
he needs no introduction adam divine welcome to the pod stoked yes really really good to be here what did you you guys call them boom slappers
well i i come up with a new phrase at the top of every pod and this week it's slap the salami
and call them a suze so it's kind of like sexual but not but also just like good life advice
you know exactly yeah it could be uh i might do that exactly or it's just like good life advice, you know? Exactly. Yeah, it could be.
I might do that exactly. Or it's just a good life advice.
It's like relax.
It's take a break.
Take some time for yourself.
And chillax your body, you know?
And also ejaculate, which is important, which you should do.
Everyone should do it every day.
Oh, we've been having a lot of debate about that because you
know semen retention is so popular right now i am an avid ejaculator i i do it too much
but uh i'm trying to find that sweet spot like what's the ideal amount but every day is a good
recommendation i think a lot of people would be on board for that i think that's a like a healthy
amount yeah i feel i feel once a day you clean the pipes and then if you scape it's if that's a like a healthy amount yeah i feel i feel once a day you clean the pipes and then if you
if it's if that's your it's like working out you should do it every day if you skip a few days here
and there you're not going to be morbidly obese but if you stick to it every day yeah don't be
hard on yourself don't be that hard on yourself if you miss a day you know like cut yourself some slack some days you're
busy you don't have time to to masturbate you know right it's supposed to be better too like the more
often you ejaculate we learn from our engineer who has two who has a baby it's better for uh
procreation because it keeps the pipes clean that's that is that it actually is true well
this is there's a question for you If you have a lot of buildup,
do you make up for it when you have some time to clean the pipes?
Do you do three sessions in a day if you've had three days off?
Yeah.
You know when you have too much in the tank.
Yeah, I'd say that's about
right. Two or three times in a day. You know, I'm not in high school anymore. I don't have this
stamina that I used to have. So twice, maybe. How old were you the first time you cranked?
You, this, you were, this was on the list of questions for me. Uh,
you know, probably like 14 or 15.
Uh, you know, probably like 14 or 15.
Oh, that's a later age.
That's good.
You waited.
Yeah, I was.
Yeah, I was respectful of myself and my innocence.
Uh, funny story.
Uh, the first time that I remember ejaculating and not the first time I masturbated, but the first time I ejaculated, my toe fell off in the bathtub.
Whoa.
Yeah, dude.
Toe fell off.
Yeah.
Swear to you.
I was hit by a cement truck when I was a little kid.
And so, well, I was not little.
I mean, I was like 11, which is pretty damn little.
And so, I couldn't walk for like two years.
And like my toe was all, um, the doctors were
like, it's just going to fall off someday. Like either it's going to start to heal or it'll
straight up fall off. And it fell off in the bathtub the first time I ejaculated and I screamed
out and my mom came into the bathroom to like help me. And I was afraid that she was going to put her hands in the coming waters
you know oh god did it was that traumatic for you at all in terms of like the next time you
busted were you worried that there would be like uh like another body part like another bad thing
was gonna happen yeah i just every time i masturbate i lose a digit uh yeah you've only
got 20 loads in your in your life before you're
yeah it would have been worth it i would have been walking around just all nubbed nubbed up
yeah one one month later you have no digits
but you're stoked you're feeling good yeah 20 days later ptsd like
when you when you bust now do you like scream at the memory of your toe falling off?
I feel like I've gotten over it at this point.
Definitely at first, I knew that it was a coincidence that the toe fell off.
The first time I ejaculated.
But yeah, I feel like i got over that hump pretty quick
pretty quickly the next time might have been scary and then and then the third time i was i was ready
to go for it there's that vignette in the short story collection brief interviews with hideous men
where every time the dude busts he screams victory for the forces of democratic freedom
and he's so embarrassed by it that it makes him unable to be in an intimate relationship Where every time the dude busts, he screams victory for the forces of democratic freedom.
And he's so embarrassed by it that it makes him unable to be in an intimate relationship.
I got to read this.
This seems like kind of my life.
I feel like I could write a tale.
Dude, are you from Orange County?
I live down there. I um in newport beach i uh when i moved to california
uh i moved to newport beach well like costa mesa and then um i was like as soon as i can afford to
live close to the water i'm gonna live down here in newport so that's what i did that's the dream
man i i we both grew up in Orange County.
I went to a Saddleback for a couple of years, too.
Oh, cool.
I know you did the Juco run.
Oh, yeah.
I'm an OCC pirate, boy.
Is that their mascot?
I was going to ask because I don't remember the mascot for Saddleback.
I feel like junior colleges, you don't as closely associate with the mascot or the.
Well, that's because you chose chose saddleback and not OCC
if you would have chose orange coast community college you would have been a pirate all the way
is there a rivalry here are we beefing do we have beef already
dude saddleback's got a sick like school system over there. Their anthropology department is ridiculous.
Their film school is top-notch.
It's a heavy hit in school.
I'm sure it's great.
For people that don't know, Saddleback and OCC are only a few miles away,
which I always thought it was weird that there's two community colleges
kind of that close together.
It's only a few miles.
And they're both, I don't know about Saddleback that much, but OCC, when I first moved there, it was like ranked in Playboy for like the hottest chicks in college. So, uh, that was a big selling point for me to go across country. Cause I'm from Omaha,
Nebraska, and I moved all the way to orange County, mostly because that movie, uh, with
Colin Hanks and Jack black came out orange County. And like the whole premise of the movie
is essentially, uh, Colin Hanks going, I don't just want to go to the local college where
there's nothing but stoner dudes and hot chicks. I want to go to a smart school. And I'm like,
I want to go to that stoner school with the hot chicks. And everybody just is at the beach every
day. I'm like, that's where I want to go. So that's why I traveled across the country from Omaha to beautiful Costa Mesa, California.
How is it living down in OC sort of working in Hollywood? Is it easy to like, do you have to drive up to LA a lot?
Or are you in a position where you can pretty much just pull it off from down there?
Yeah, normally I just get on a sweet platform like Riverside or Zoom and do all my meetings that way.
But no, to be perfectly honest, like I've been home, I think we did the math and it was like something like seven or eight weeks since 2020.
So I haven't been home much at all the last few years uh just traveling for work stuff but um yeah you could kind of you know once you kind of get to a certain level you don't need to go
on auditions every day and a lot of auditions and stuff are like just done over zoom
now so you can you can be an actor and live anywhere really how is uh so you lived in la
for a while i people when i tell
people i'm from orange county but i live in la they're like oh it's the same thing but they feel
totally distinct to me like growing up in orange county i didn't really relate to la like in a i
didn't and i didn't think about like entertainment or any of that stuff it wasn't like uh it didn't
seem like a easy pipeline and every time time I drive back in Orange County,
I'm instantly struck by how different it is.
Like the roads are wider.
Everyone's like very relaxed.
Like they feel like they won down there,
but that easygoing confidence kind of rubs off on me.
And I,
I relax a bit.
Uh,
I feel the exact same way.
As soon as I take a peek behind the orange curtain,
as they say, driving from la down to uh
orange county i'm like i like take a deep breath i mean because for whatever reason uh the there's
like less graffiti the roads are wider everything's just a little cleaner. It just seems nicer down there.
And the amount of like flip flops you see down there,
I'm like,
you know,
it's a casual environment when like everyone is in flip flops in it's
December.
You're like,
Oh,
this is a chill place.
Totally.
Aesthetically.
I think orange County has got lab i will say though like the
i don't know if people in orange county like think as much as people in la for better and worse
yeah that might be that might be right yeah they're definitely thinking more in la in orange county there's less thoughts happening
yeah everyone's just kind of like relax and if you ask them what they're stressed about they're like
well my deck was supposed to be finished a week ago and teddy the contractor's a little behind but he's a good dude yeah it's it's mostly
contractor related uh issues yes they they they chose the wrong paint for the guest house my
girlfriend lived down there and so i would drive down there like every other day and then she moved
out to la i was more sad about her i was like i was i almost made the move
i mean i don't think i can right now but i really want to do it because i was more sad about her
moving you know leaving newport than she was i love it down there yeah it really is it's a it's
incredible i we still have a place up in uh holly, we kind of, when we are home,
we split our time a little bit.
And there's great things about LA too,
but I tend to like Orange County more,
more lately.
You know,
you're a standard bearer for bros.
I consider myself a bro too,
but you know,
with some dimensions,
do you ever get,
do you ever get like a shock level of bro that you can run into in Orange County with the depth of the bro?
Like how deep a bro this bro is?
Oh, I mean, absolutely.
And I feel like, uh, I think people like true bros that are bro to their core.
Sometimes I feel when they meet me, i don't live up to the bro hype
and they're like oh he's not he doesn't want to beer bong this jaeger meister with me on a
tuesday afternoon is that tough on you like not feeling like you're not living up well for years
i would like go try to step up in you know try to live up to the hype and then and then you get a little
older and you're like well what the fuck am i what am i doing yeah i'm like i don't have to
it's fine yes you win you win the bro battle so are there ever like hey here i am now my buddies
are going back to my friend like ricky's apartment do you want to cruise with and play some fifa
absolutely and i used to go back
sometimes like sometimes I would used to especially when I was like doing stand-up
shows and I'd go to like a random college town and uh they're like hey we're gonna roll back
and like we we're all pretty good at foosball and I'm like well I'm pretty good at foosball too
yeah that competition is the best at foosball tonight.
Good for testosterone to be in the mix like that.
Yeah, that's right.
Get it going.
And who knows, a push-up contest might break out.
We're not sure what's going to happen.
We've been touring lately, and it is tough when you will have fans ask the same question.
Or even like an opener, they'll have like an opener and be like, so you guys going to rage after this?
And like, you know, just get after it.
I'm like, I think I'm going to go back and and read and i always feel a little bit ashamed of myself whenever i
have to say that but but my sleep is sacred i'm like i need to sleep hey sometimes you gotta
yeah yeah sometimes you need to chill i get it did you feel like a do you feel like a bro to yourself no no i mean uh
obviously we all have bro tendencies there's beautiful aspects of it there's a lot of beauty
in it there's beautiful aspect aspects to brohood but uh yeah they're just so hilarious like that's why all of our on workaholics
all of our um personalities our characters on the show we leaned into the bro-ness of each of our
individual characters because that is the the funniest version of those of those characters
like if we just played it too close
to ourselves we wouldn't make the best sitcom characters so we you know yeah i think you've
done a a really good job of maintaining that essence but like maturing it and finding different
ways to express it were you very like conscious of the way people would want to put you just into one slot and that you needed to be able to like, you know,
honor that, but still create enough differentiation in it so that it felt new
and, and challenging for you.
Yeah, for sure. I mean, you don't, it, yeah.
As soon as I think it was like probably once I did like modern family,
that was like the least bro-iest character that I played. I played Sarah Hyland's like love interest on like 25 episodes of Modern Family or something. And I think it was like once I did that, it was like more of a romantic comedy guy, which and then since then I've done several romantic comedies.
comedy guy, which, and then I, since then I've done several romantic comedies and that was something that I absolutely never saw for myself, but it was sort of a happy accident that I was
able to like not be Adam DeMamp from workaholics. Uh, I can be like kind of a sweetheart of a guy,
like a, like the guy next door type character. Um, yeah um yeah and and that was sort of a happy accident
that i fell into that and then after that i think hollywood was sort of like oh he can do other
stuff and not just be the the total psychopath that we know from workaholics which i love doing
too and we're about to start shooting the movie uh in a few months we're working on the script
right now actually yeah we're super stoked up on that i rom-com is probably my favorite
film genre and i've like uh read like mcconaughey yeah i love them i've read mcconaughey and hugh
grant quotes about how they actually think it's tougher to be in a romantic comedy than like a
drama like mcconaughey had this quote where he's like in a rom-com, if you go, if you go too deep, you sink the ship. And, uh, and like basically how there's this real
skill and being able to like be light and be kind of like life affirming over the course of like a
whole movie. Yeah. Well, maybe, I mean, I, I, uh, it's definitely different than just a straight comedy because I've, you know, Mike and Dave, uh, was like a straight comedy or game over man was just like a down the, uh, pipe straight comedy where it's just, you're going for the laughs every scene and you don't really need to play the romance of it at all.
really need to play the romance of it at all. And so when I've had to do that, there definitely is a different sort of skillset or mode that you got to get into in order to pull it off. So you're
not just going gung-ho the entire time with the comedy. Is it in the eyes? Is it like how you look
at your co-star? Like, do you, do you work your eyes different when you're trying to be romantic uh yeah do i give them some extra twinkle eyes yeah do you
add some twinkle i see it yeah that's it yeah i i try to put a little sparkle in it every once in a
while i feel very vulnerable when i have to do that on camera.
It's like,
wait,
I got to try and be like sexy or,
or like,
uh,
or like,
it is weird trying to be like,
yes.
When you're like,
this scene would be better if I wasn't the ugly piece of shit that I am. I think that sometimes when I,
when I like look at something to be like, oh man,
this scene would be way better if I was just like 15% hotter.
No, no, that's not, you're a good looking dude.
I mean, I get the inner child voice though.
I mean, me too.
I get that little, I, you know, you get that little kid where you're just like, nah, you're,
you're no good.
Just go back to the swing set.
Young Adam, young, you're no good. Just go back to the swing set, young Adam, young fat Adam.
This might be sensitive since it's so recent,
but what are your thoughts on Liver King,
the controversy around his steroid use?
Are you familiar with it at all?
Yeah, we were just talking about that the other day i mean the workaholics
guys on uh our podcast uh yeah obviously the guy was on steroids yeah like yeah if if you truly
thought this guy just ate the testicles of fucking rhinos or whatever the fuck he was eating
and got muscles like that from just eating liver.
Like you're a, you're an idiot, dude. He, like he's, I work out every day. I work out every day
and I'm a pile of mush and I eat pretty healthy, but I am, I, my body looks like a garbage can.
am i my body looks like a garbage can like you truly in order to get that shredded you have to be on steroids so i didn't think it was that big of a like people were like whoa how he lied to us
i'm like yeah man everyone on the internet is lying to you all the time yeah and i always assume
you're getting lied to it's it's weird with social media it's almost like it's what and also if if someone is too if there's like no like wink wink behind what they're doing at all like he he's
just like this is the way it is this is and you're like okay this it felt false a little bit with the
liver king yeah it's weird with social media it almost allows us to interpret these people the
way we would like movie characters like i think about like like Andrew Tate and I'm like, Oh,
well he's just like playing a Scorsese character all the time over social
media,
but it's almost more interesting than a movie because you can kind of make
believe it's real more.
Yeah, that's right.
I feel like the people that are really good at social media,
it must be just exhausting.
Yeah.
Just having to play that character, because I feel that way sometimes, but I'm at least an actor where people meet me in real life and they expect me to be a little bit of a bro.
But I would say, especially as I got older, people understand that I'm probably not exactly that person.
But social media stars really have to live up to the hype of them being whatever version of psycho that their social media character is.
So when you got into this business, was your main goal to act in features or did you always want to direct and write?
Or what was your main goal going into it?
Yeah, it was initially it was like just comedy.
I loved comedy as a kid and it was to be like on SNL. And then I, uh, when I was 18 and I was deciding,
am I going to move to California or New York? I like looked up how expensive it was in New York
and how I could like actually have my own bedroom in LA. And I was like, all right, I'll just move there.
But yeah, no, I mean, it was to be in movies.
And I guess my heroes were like the Adam Sandlers,
the Jim Carreys, the Will Ferrells,
guys like that, Ben Stiller.
What inspired you guys to go the YouTube route?
Because that was probably like 2008, 2009 2009 when you guys were making those videos.
No, dude.
We were like doing it.
It was like 06, 07, 08.
So you were like real OG.
Yeah, we were frontiersmen.
I remember when the internet didn't exist.
Yeah, we're old as fuck, dude. Durs especially. He's the oldest one out of us. I remember when the internet didn't exist. Yeah.
We're old as fuck,
dude.
Durs,
especially he's the oldest one out of us.
So he's definitely the oldest.
But yeah,
we,
it was just,
we've Kyle was friends with a guy who knew the lonely Island guys.
And he was like,
they're going to be on SNL. And he was like, I don't,
they're going to be on SNL.
And we're like,
well,
show us,
well,
do you have a video or something?
And he used to have to like have quick time files and it would take forever to download.
And,
uh,
he pulled up YouTube and showed us.
And not only were we seeing the only,
the,
the lonely Island,
which is Andy Sandberg and all those guys uh akiva and yorma
not only was were we seeing them and they were so damn funny and we were like
these videos are hilarious and they're gonna crush it on snl uh we were seeing youtube for
the first time and we were like holy shit you could just play a video and it'll play right away
we were like, holy shit, you could just play a video and it'll play right away. Um, I, I feel like I'm my parent talking to me about how color, how television used to be in black and white.
You know, I feel like when kids will listen to this, they're like, what do you mean? Yeah. What
do you mean? It just, there wasn't just the YouTube where you could just play a video. No,
dude, you just have to like individually send your video out to people and it was impossible
to have anyone see anything so we were stoked and as soon as we found out about youtube we were like
gung-ho yeah because i i was you know i was inspired by you guys specifically well you know
because we both started in stand-up and stuff and and sort of we're developing this personas on stage and and you guys were sort of like the
model for us of like if you want to show your sort of proof of concept for your tv show you put it on
youtube you know you don't need to you know shoot a pilot and send it around you just put it on the
internet and then you have proof of concept and then you also have you know audience you're
building an audience and you're showing them that you know people like this stuff and so you got like it's yeah you guys were a huge
inspiration for us yeah oh well thanks man i mean like and yeah we we looked up to the lonely island
guys and before that it was like the Always Sunny in Philadelphia guys
we really liked.
And, you know, and like the story with Trey Parker and Matt Stone,
the South Park guys, how they made a short like Christmas video
and then literally passed around VHS tapes
and sent them all over Hollywood.
Like we were like, yeah, this is like a good way to get our message out there much,
much wider,
cast a wider net.
But you guys,
I think we're way more viral than we are or than we were.
We like,
we straight up like people.
I feel like some people,
if you were deep into comedy,
knew us on the YouTube days,
but it was,
it,
it took a few years of like,
just churning stuff out for comedy central to,
to get a little whiff of us.
Right.
I,
I remember,
I mean,
I remember cause I was such a big fan of your,
or I am a big fan of your show or workaholics.
And,
and I remember watching your old YouTube videos.
Like,
uh,
there's the one,
um,
Oh,
uh, it was like the odoole's commercial
where you're like we have more dudes coming do you remember that one oh yeah it was uh
such a well dude we literally were at a party and we were like oh there's literally no girls here
we're like it's like a barbecue and we're, there's straight up not a girl here, dude. There's like 25, dude.
So we then quickly grabbed our camera and shit and was like, well, we got to shoot this video.
And it was for Sierra Nevada Sausage Fest.
Right.
And the motto was bring on the dude.
Yeah.
Was there?
Yeah.
It's a simple idea, but it was born out of uh out of us not having one
girl at our party well and and too yeah i think um one thing too with making your own stuff
especially like you know because we're you know came up in like 2014-15 that's sort of when i
started and it's like as like a white guy i was sort of like how do i differentiate myself and
then like in auditions i felt like i was like i don't really know if i'm able to show them
what i'm good at in auditions and like this brief you know you know whereas when you make your own
stuff it's like you know you can say like i'm really good at playing this character and here's
like proof and so that that's one thing too about making your stuff i
think it's really cool and it's just the level i feel like the level of respect that you have
if you want to be an actor and the level of respect you have from casting directors
and producers and directors if you've done the work and you've put out all this, I hate the word content because it sounds stupid as shit,
but like you put out all this content, uh, and people like it and you, they can tell that you
care about it and you work hard at it. I feel like they immediately give you more of a shot
than just some fucking guy who, uh, know thinks you can be an actor me and for and
definitely the guys it was it was like we weren't getting any love in hollywood in general like
ours was out of necessity we were like none of us are handsome enough to just walk into a casting
office and then be like oh you're hired uh we had we had to do it ourselves you know um dude back to
make it super old back to the party where it was 25 dudes i'm curious about like everyone's role
in that uh did was it one guy's fault that no chicks came no from what i remember it was like we were going over to our buddy grant's house who and we wanted
to shoot something and we were like well let's just throw a little party and we'll we'll shoot
something when we get there and and then we show up and literally not a girl showed up not one
and there's like 25 guys and i'm like well i forget whose idea it ended up being but
probably deris he's he's great so uh yeah one of us came up with sierra nevada sausage fest and
and we shot it that's what was so fun early on when we were making stuff on the internet for mail order comedy which was our sketch group name uh we would
make a new video every week so we were like whatever the idea is you have to make a new
video right then so you just come once a week we get together pitch ideas and then whatever idea
won we would go shoot that right then was it tough for you to transition to
like the pace of hollywood because i know with your pilot with workaholics it there's a long
period after you shot it or something before it they ordered it to series right yeah we it was
something like i think it was like a, like over a year or something.
I can't remember exactly how long, uh, but we shot the pilot, uh, presentation and then
it was, no, we shot the, the, the, the pilot and then no, actually, sorry, I'm, I'm such
a stoner, but we shot the whole first season and then it took
like over a year for them to premiere it so i was going around telling people like when i did stand
up that i had a tv show on comedy central called workaholics and it's about to come out and so
and now i get that as like how do you want to be introduced on stage and i tell people that
it got to the point that people were like dude i'm not gonna say that you've been saying that
for like over six months like like you're obviously lying to us and and i'm like i swear
to god we got a show we had that with covid with ours because we had like a year and a half delay
so people were like what what was that thing you guys were gonna i had like a year and a half delay so people were like
what what was that thing you guys were gonna i'm like i swear to god it's like it's coming out
like just give me like two years yeah yeah and then people start asking you they're like oh is
that thing still happening i'm like you mean my dream yes yeah yeah you mean my dream in my entire life uh yeah yeah it's still happening we're still plugging
away yeah uh did you guys when you guys came out with your show or even your stuff before that uh
did you guys have family members that just straight up don't get it like it's not for them
i remember when we first started with videos i i did the character it was a little bit more bro-y
and douchey than it is now and my dad was like he's like chad goes deep like this is not
what i had in mind he's like you need to stop this right now and i was like dad i swear to god like
i was like i had this feeling i was like I was like, just give me two months or something.
And then we went viral for the first time a month later.
And he's like, all right.
But before that, he had a big talk with me.
Because he encouraged me to go into acting.
He's like, you should go to Hollywood.
And I'm like, all right.
And then four or five years later, he's like, yeah,
this is not what we had in mind.
I think.
Yeah, this is you consider this acting.
OK.
All right.
I thought you were going to take roles like Denzel Washington.
But I guess you're going down this path.
He wanted me to be in soap operas.
He's like he's like it's like because he's very like, you know, security oriented.
He's like he's like you should be in soap operas. Sure know it's it's a it's a day job you know you clock
in monday through friday and so he's very like adamant he's like what about young and the restless
like any any i was like i think i'm gonna try stand-up i don't well that means he thinks your
dad thinks you're like super handsome so he's very sweet
that's at least that has to feel good my dad was like well you're my dad's like you're too ugly to
be in soap operas uh looks like it's gotta be comedy for you yeah my dad's very sweet that way
did your family uh not quite get it no my parents are are wildly supportive uh you know they're just super
supportive and my dad is is hilarious and he actually like loves workaholics to death and
you know we're all like i i think some of the other guys their parents like didn't quite get
it and didn't understand it but i looked looked out and like, I remember when I showed my parents, uh, workaholics, uh, for the first time it hadn't come out and I just had it on DVD and they came
to visit and I, and they're in my room in the workaholics house because we lived there before
we shot the show there. So, uh, and even during the first season. So I'm in that room in that
house showing them the DVDs and and i left because i'm like
this is weird to just watch yourself with your parents and i just hear my my dad going yes oh
nice yeah baby and then he comes out of the room like he just got done fucking he was like out of
breath and he was just like you got yourself a hit.
Yeah.
Poop dollar.
And I'm like, all right, well, I glad you like it, but keep it down.
Yeah.
Your dad sounds like if Chris Farley got casted as the Burt Reynolds part in
boogie nights.
Absolutely.
No, he, he, he he uh i do such a good impression too of him that sometimes people
think it's like a like too much of a character but then they'll they'll run into him at a rap
party or something and they're like holy shit i just ran into the tornado known as dennis divine
uh and and they realize that my impression is spot on.
He's got a cool little race for his name.
He's double D.
Let's go.
Yeah, he does.
Dude, you're in one of my favorite movies ever.
You're in Pitch Perfect.
Was that a...
Oh, hell yeah, dog.
So were you singing those songs?
Was that tons of takes and you're just singing all day?
No, that we were like with lip sync for that stuff.
So we would go and record it prior and then, uh, and then just lip sync on the day.
Well, thank God too, because I'm like not that good of a singer.
I'm, I can sing fine.
I'm a good, which by the way, my dad, when i told him i got pitch perfect i was like yeah it's
a huge studio move it's not huge but it's a studio movie and he goes well what's it about and i'm
like yeah i'm like it's uh what's about two it's like a group of acapella collegiate acapella
singers and he goes but you can't sing with shit and i'm like i can sing perfectly fine he's
like no you can't oh this is gonna suck and i'm like all right well it still feels supportive
underneath he's just being so candid with you yeah it's still like he it was like it he was
bummed that it was gonna suck he was bummed that i was gonna disappoint everyone with my shitty
singing so he's still being supportive he was just like oh man i wish it was something else so
you didn't have to sing did you get to pick your songs no no i mean they kind of uh no not at all
actually we uh i just lucked out and i had like a couple of really fun songs to sing that,
that movie was so fun and like truly changed my life.
It was like Hollywood works in a way where like,
even though we can do all of our own stuff to,
to get noticed and to get recognition,
there is,
there are gatekeepers to where they go.
Like you're not allowed to be in movies until one studio or something happens where
suddenly you're just allowed to be in it like now the doors open and you can be in movies and i
that's what happened with that movie it was like it was such such a success that i think
hollywood uh was like all right you can be in movies now do you believe in god you could sing
better than your father thought you could are you a man of faith do i believe in god yeah uh no not not particularly i think i i
believe in big hollywood more than i believe in god nice dude well you've done well with that faith
it's it's uh it's it's yeah yeah yeah i think i have are you are you worried about dying am i worried about dying uh
not not particularly not now i think i i think i'm fairly healthy i think i got a good
a good 40 years 40 to 50 that's a long time dude you don't want to live much longer than that
we were just talking about that yeah ray kurzweil i guess this guy that's like futurist he wants to be immortal and i'm like i'm living that long i guess you could
do sort of every iteration of life you know you could be rich and poor and whatever but i also
think like it's weird to mess with nature because like what if on the other side of death is like
paradise and
then you put yourself through a thousand years and you're kind of like that kind of sucked and then
like i did that for no reason yeah you missed out on good heaven time for sure yeah it's cutting
into your sweet heaven time uh but also like don't you just get bored i find myself doing i i think about this sometimes like stuff that used to
excite me so much when i was 16 or 20 or 25 now i'm like i'm like that too there's very little
take it or leave it there's very few things that can occupy my full self like an excited state
like even like sports and movies i used to fucking crave that shit i could just sit there and
watch that for like eight hours and now after like 10 minutes i'm like i get it i've seen like every
iteration of a sporting event i've seen every genre and movie i'm like it's not it just doesn't
have the same juice anymore yeah i think i think you would just get too bored i think that's why
death that's why death happens because we would just be too bored. You were like fucking over it.
And then society would collapse.
And then also bad guys would live forever.
Like Putin would live to be a million.
Like he out of boredom would just drop a nuke just to mix it up.
See, that's right.
And society would collapse.
We figured it out, guys.
We figured out the meaning of life is to die at some point just went deep on
riverside yeah yeah we sure did going deep down riverside is uh last cue is there anything you're
like watching that people don't know about that we should check out um well well i'm just finishing
right now uh season three of the righteous gemstonesstones. So I'm working on that now.
It's going to be a great season.
So Righteous Gemstones on HBO with Dana McBride and Edie Patterson and John Goodman and a bunch of fun guest stars this season.
Awesome.
And then I have a movie coming out on Netflix I think next summer called The Outlaws with me and Nina Dobrev and Pierce Brosnan and Ellen Barkin.
Dude, I love Pierce Brosnan.
He is so nice.
He's cooler than you could imagine, you know, because much like being bored about stuff, like I feel when you meet older movie stars, a lot of times they can be perfectly nice,
but they don't give a shit about meeting you. You know what I mean? They've already met too
many people. They're over meeting new people. And Pierce was, it wasn't that way at all. He
was super cool. So, uh, and that, that that's the outlaws and that'll come out next year.
I just saw a YouTube interview with pierce broston where
he finds out the guy interviewing him is from his hometown and he gets teary-eyed he almost starts
crying and he's like oh you're from bovina and then he just starts reminiscing he's like it's
the same like tea tree is still there and then like he's it's he's like this wistful very handsome
older man like just like uh in the moment reflecting and being moved like that it was
really cool yeah he he truly is one of the one of the best guys i've i've ever worked with so
that's awesome mark that off the bucket list so are you uh you're just finishing production of
righteous gemstone right now yeah we i have like another another week or so week and a half and then
and then i will be done and it's christmas i i love that show and uh i'm excited for season
three and you're so you're in south carolina right now right yeah charleston oh yeah we heard
charleston's amazing where they shot the notebook dude and where it is i think those bravo shows
uh southern charmed yes i see the
southern charmed guys quite a bit that's awesome yeah charleston's like a truly beautiful city it
truly reminds me of sort of orange county south so it truly feels like charleston feels like a
kind of feels like you're in newport beach. So I love it. I'm on,
I'm on the beach here too. So I'm going to get a play. I want to get a place there. I've never
been there, but I want to get a place somewhere outside of LA and I've been thinking Charleston.
So hearing that from you, that might, that might be the man and take my word for it. Don't visit,
just throw your money at a house here. Don even check out the neighborhood just go all in on
charleston that's what i was thinking thank you because like my family and my accountant have been
advising me against that and i'm like y'all aren't living the right way all right i'm saying no the
dice that's right all right well hopefully tell that's right the whole point of living is just

All right, let's get back to the show.
Dude, what a great interview with Adam Devine.
Amazing.
Should we get back to regular programming?
Yeah, let's do it.
All right.
Yo, what up, Stoke Lords?
Got a quick question about diet.
I consider myself a pretty healthy dude, but every once in a while,
I'll get a real bad sweet tooth that'll last a few days
and I'll munch too much sugar.
Any advice on curbing that devilish little craving?
Much love to y'all.
Appreciate your auras.
Marty.
Dude, appreciate your auras?
That's the best compliment I've ever heard.
High praise.
Fuck, you just fired me up.
I like this guy.
Well, dude, I think think first off go easy on
yourself you know if you're too strict on your diet then i think it's so easy to you know you
can be so strict on your diet where it's stressing you out to the point where you just sort of go all
in on sweets and desserts and stuff so i think you know if you're having a cookie if you're having
some sweets here and there that's fine go easy on yourself i almost think when you're treating
yourself that's healthier i think uh but if you want to curb some sugar you know i think one thing
you can do is you can substitute instead of going for like ice cream and stuff like that you could
substitute with fruit uh big favorite of mine is watermelon i just munch on watermelon i think
grapefruit is a really good one because that kind of curbs your appetite as well so you get
your sugar fix and it's not too much sugar and it also curbs your appetite so that's my take
yeah man i agree be easy on yourself and then i'm guessing that the times when you're craving sugar are
either when you're like super busy or not busy at all that's what happens for me is like when
i'm bored i'm like oh well you know i'm addicted to like self-medicating and giving myself a hit
so i don't want to smoke weed today i don't want to drink so i'll just munch on some starbursts
or if i'm like crazy busy we're running around all day i'll
be like fuck i need i need something and i'll just eat a fat boy i had a nice fat boy when we got to
salt lake city the other day ice cream sandwich at two in the afternoon felt good dude yeah and
also it's fun to treat yourself with you know like we when we did seth meyers we got a banana splits
that was fun yeah that's a great memory that's
the thing too it's like it's the lesser of a lot of evils like people really beat themselves up
for sugar and i know it's bad for you but you need some stuff that's bad for you and like dude
you could be banging hookers you could be railing coke yeah you could be like you know street fighting and you know you're just uh
eating sugar i think most people would say that's not that bad you know if you talk to a wild man
like alec baldwin he'd be like you're chill mid-banging a hooker probably um and uh
uh some people do all those things at the same time yeah i know my buddy
fred he was he was doing coke eating ice cream and hooking up with prostitutes at the same time
and yeah and you know and some people don't pay prostitutes that's really the most important
thing besides like you know curbing your extreme sexual desires, make sure that you're, you know, being respectful in your transactions. Cause it's, you know,
it's a gig, the oldest gig. I mean, it's in the human brain to want to bust a load and how you
decide to bust that load, you know, is up to you. And it sounds like you're busting your load in
the healthiest way possible by having sugar. So props to what up stokers my squad had a saturday for
the books but we haven't talked since basically what happened was we played a game where everyone
brought a mystery pill then we put them in a cup in the middle and all grabbed one randomly to take
there was molly adderall tylenol pain relief you name it who brought the tylenol pain relief
i'd be so pissed was there like a 65 year old with arthritis in the crew?
Who's been playing a little too much pickleball.
And he's like,
it's like a key party where you really want to get one person's key.
You're like,
please be the hot out of town chick.
And then you're like,
Oh,
I got Fred's wife.
Fuck.
Like 10 minutes in Brent realized he swallowed a boner pill and we all got a real
laugh at how hard his dick was he said it started to hurt really bad and he needed a bus but he had
two broken wrists so he couldn't jack off we told him the pain would go away but if he said if he
didn't come asap he might suffer blood loss we told him that's not how that works but he was too
hard to hear us our friend luke couldn't take anymore so he would just jack off Brent to get it over with.
He was going at it for a couple minutes
and even though it looked pretty legit to us
Brent said it wasn't enough.
Then a little bit of spit led to a full on blowjob clinic.
He was actually good at it too.
Like crazy good.
Sucking balls, deep throat, you name it.
Brent finished and felt better
but it was just weird in the room after.
We tried to turn on football
but decided to call it early and we all went home. What should our crew do to get back in shape for the weekend?
Those are like my only friends. So I need to get us, I need us to get over this. Also,
should I tell my parents I'd like to remain anonymous because all my friends listen to the
pod? Well, first of all, I don't think you need to be anonymous. Your name is Roger Dooley.
Secondly, you should tell your parents. Third,
it's normal to have a bit of a hangover after an extreme sexual display for the first time in your
friend group. You all need to understand that that's natural. Everyone needs time to process
what I think was altogether a positive experience. And I think in time you'll remember it as such.
So just let yourself have that you're gonna miss maybe one
week of games but football will still be there so come back in two weeks when lamar jackson's back
from injury and helping my fantasy team and you enjoy the splendor of watching him run and then
just look at your friends and laugh yeah i think um thank you for writing in i mean what a story uh what a weekend you had um
i think uh too you know if it's feeling a little awkward with you and your friends maybe just send
them a text you know break the ice be like epic saturday fellas can't wait to do it again and
just get the conversation going and you know and if you really want to you know make but was it
brent who did the sucking uh if you want to make maybe brent feels you know maybe a little bit weird no it was
luke oh luke did the sucking um you know just say like luke great job dude you really saved
you know brent's boner he took one for the team unless he doesn't perceive it as taking one for
the team and in fact he was taking one for himself. In either case, an admirable thing to do.
Yeah.
But yeah, I'd be stoked on your crew.
I mean, knowing that there's a potentially lethal boner happening,
and then someone can step up and rectify the sitch.
I think it's really admirable
and shows the strength of your squad.
I'm also betting Luke was the one who took the molly.
Yeah, I was just thinking, yeah.
Because that's a molly move.
Yeah.
It, you know, nasty hangover.
Got to be careful with it,
especially if it's mixed with other stuff,
but it can bring out the best in you.
Yeah, he definitely didn't take the Tylenol.
All right.
Next question.
Some really good questions.
What up, Stokers?
Hope your Thanksgiving was dank.
Also, I hope that JT has been thoroughly executing some squats.
Hope that Chad has been enjoying the perfect small doses of shrooms.
Hope the chat has been enjoying the perfect small doses of shrooms and strider if you were there I hope you have been consuming some Chris I crisp IPAs before some beautiful tongue-darning sessions
Basically wanted to ask you lesson legends for advice regarding my career path
I'm a 23 year old first-year accountant and lucky to have a job with a good work-life balance
That pays me a respectable salary. My issue is that while I was in college
I fell in love with the game of poker and became somewhat good at it. I've logged thousands of hours at the poker table and my
sample size is large enough to suggest that I can make the same amount of money playing poker
that I do with my current nine to five job. I am really torn because of the following. On one hand,
I have planned on being an accountant since I was 13 years old. And now that I am here starting a
career in the field, I feel like it would be a waste of my money and time spent on schooling to take a break from it and play poker for a living.
I only work about 40 hours per week, all remote, and I don't mind what I am doing.
On the other hand, I love playing poker.
It's less stressful in many aspects.
I don't have to answer to a boss and I can choose my own hours.
Casinos are open 24 hours.
The downside of poker is that it's a zero-sum game, so I will question what I am adding to society by doing it for a living. Both pays around the same and neither will have a detrimental
effect on my personal relationships. Forgive me for assuming, but something tells me given your
line of work, you guys may have some anxiety regarding your career path along the way. Do
you have any suggestions regarding mindset or sayings questions that I should keep in my mind
when making my decision? All the best and thanks for the positive stoke that you spread, Trevor.
Wow.
These are tough, dude, because it's tough to tell someone to give up a sure thing career
that's going to provide you stability and security.
But that being said, look, if you become a poker player, we know a couple of professional poker players
because they're in the comedy community. You're going to be a weird guy. Those guys are weird.
You know what I mean? Because they live by their own rules and they live in a very specific
world that is exciting, but is not a one-to-one with how everybody else is living.
But there's a good side to that.
You'll be living a dynamic life full of questions and full of seedy people and full of excitement.
And I can't tell you to make that decision for you, but you got to honor yourself, man.
You got to honor yourself.
Yeah. But you got to honor yourself, man. You got to honor yourself. Yeah, I think it's one thing that helps is doing an exercise of sort of looking at you 10 years from now and looking back on your tenure.
You know, what are you 20?
Is he 22?
Like your 32 year old self looking back on your 22 year old self and the decisions you're making now.
I think that's a good exercise.
Like, would you be stoked on either decisions staying with accounting or going into poker? I think
that's a good exercise. And I think, you know, I think it's, you seem really passionate about it.
It seems like you weighed the pros and cons. You weighed the risks, you know what you're getting yourself into. And I think life is all about saying yes. So, you know, I think
if you're up for, if you're looking for an adventure,
I think you, you know, you, you know, that path, I think, you know, just be mindful of
the potential risks. And then I think in terms of a mindset in mindset i think uh
one thing that helps for me is just being stoked on what you're doing you know i think it for us
you know it's like it's all about continuing to create, whether that's writing new material, shooting new videos,
ranks, anything. It's staying in the momentum, you know, it's a snowball and you're staying in that snowball just rolling down, you know what I mean? So for me, that's all I can do. And then
I think, you know, you can worry about future financial situations, stuff like that. But I think
getting to a place where you're just stoked on what you're
doing for the sake of doing it that is the best mindset to have in these risky kind of career
paths yeah there's gonna be a lot of highs and there's gonna be a lot of lows you're signing up
for more of that than if you were on the accountant path you'd have more of a steady middle. Yeah. And my brain is designed for the highs and lows.
Yeah.
And,
and I love it,
but it does beat you up a little bit.
And it is a snowball,
but it's like,
you're almost,
the snowball is almost going uphill.
Yeah.
And,
and there's going to be times where it's hard to keep her.
It's nice having someone like Chad in my life who,
if I'm tired,
I know my dog is going to be pushing from his heels,
getting that thing up the hill, shoulders tired, abs tight, and he's just going to keep it moving.
So poker is, you know, a one man game. That's tough, but you got to find a crew,
find a crew of people, find your worm from rounders,, you know, hopefully he doesn't have worm's weakness for, you know, failure and betrayal.
And just, yeah, you're more of a Mikey D.
You're more of a Matt Damon in that movie.
Are you for real right now?
I'm for real.
Find your Mikey D, a guy who, you know, is a shark with the cards, but isn't a shark in his interpersonal relationships.
Did he know who you are?
You're John Malkovich, if he was a good guy.
Oh, dude, thank you, man.
I can't even picture that, but it's compelling.
Yeah, man, you'll figure it out, dude.
I like where your head's at, though.
I like that you're thinking adventurously.
I also think, look, I don't mean to be crude, but which one's going to help you with chicks
more?
I think, again, it's the high highs, the low lows
versus that steady upper middle.
In accounting, you're going to find a nice girl.
You're going to have a good family.
You're in that poker world.
You're going to have a run there
where you're sleeping with some dangerous women
and that's going to be exciting
but it's not someone you're going to want to be long-term with.
And if you don't get good at it,
you might never get out of that uh a subset of people but if you get really good at poker you're gonna find a really
cool lady at the end of that dude if you go the poker route to dress the part get some cool flashy
shades get a necklace like a chain you know get a cool ass blazer and just come in and you know drop your
dick on the table and say i'm here and i'm here to play poker and you know if you stick with
accounting do the same thing yes come into the office in a hawaiian with a blazer looking like
hunter s thompson throw that fat dick on the table and say, Hey, I'm here to work through some
people's financials. It's tax season. Then chop up a line. You want to put that in your 401k or
you want it in your pocket now? And they're like, can you take your hand out of your pocket? Cause
you're getting yourself hard and then say hey makes the numbers easy to
come by you're like i'm hard because i was thinking about clients who keep their receipts
yeah we've been struggling with that yeah i fucked up but dude michelle our accountant
she says you're an a plus oh yeah she told our agent rachel that oh really she told rachel that
yeah rachel was like r Rachel was laughing at me.
She's like, Michelle said Chad's an A-plus client.
And then I was like, what did she say about me?
She's like, she says you call her back.
But I'm getting more into it.
I am putting, I feel the will to get smarter about about that stuff you know what's funny is like everyone
i'm close to i'm very responsive but everyone i'm close to is not responsive is that an interesting
thing well it's the same thing with me like the people i'm closest to all have commonalities and
they're all the opposite of me yeah right because kennedy is not super quick i'm pretty slow on it
yeah you're responsive with me me especially if it's work related
I'm not responsive with
the other 5000 text messages I haven't read
every time I post a story
from my homepage on my phone
people are like dude read your text messages
you're stressing me out
I like seeing the number pile up
I'm sorry I'm a narcissist it feels good
I'm like that's 5000 messages of love
that are just getting
funneled to my my little wounded self yeah um there he is all right should we uh get to the
next bit yes sir chad who is your beef of the week my beef of the week is uh dude my buddy derrick

like more tone calves he's like well do you want like he's questioning your commitment like are
you willing to go the whole way with it like it's your fault yeah and he's like and he's like well
maybe you're not getting the right samples maybe you're not you know supplementing it correctly
like but do you want uh a torso where people are suspicious that you might be etching and i'm like
yes dude that's what i've wanted my entire life i want the fight club physique and
he's like we'll buy more of this beach body and i did because he keeps selling me on this shit and
then he got me these pills and i'm like i'm like dude i can't even these make me feel like shit bro
and my physique hasn't changed one bit you know what dude i'm on your side but maybe just listen to
derrick and keep going give him more money take more of the stuff and like you know wait to see
i think you're fucking right dude i should just listen to derrick huh
and i think i'm gonna probably do the same and hit him up and probably get my parents involved as well dude you're so right bro
i'm glad i talked to you about this i'm gonna order more beach body yeah it's hard to have
faith but the reward there's rewards at the end of it dude i got two beefs first beef with myself
i'm racist whoa yeah it was a hard dude it was a hard thing to realize we were staying at a hotel
in Salt Lake City had the tv on in the background I finished beating off and then I heard what was
on the tv and it was this uh leader from France I think he's their president called Macron
and when I heard his voice right away I went I don't trust that guy for a second
and it was just because he had a French accent and i realized i'm highly prejudiced towards the french it's totally built around
uh their kind of slick uh physicality and that voice that accent i don't trust it for a minute
dude like if someone had to do life-saving operation on a family member and I heard a French accent,
I'd be like, you're trying to fuck my family member.
And yeah.
And I was instantly worried about Biden.
I was, I sent him a DM.
I was like, don't trust this dude.
And then I had to think about it.
And I was like, dude, I don't even know this guy.
I don't even know any French people.
And just based off a sound, I'm judging an entire community of people.
That's not me.
That's not the kind of American I want to be.
So I am sorry to the French.
Well, let me tell you this, bro.
I would never let my daughter date a French guy.
Really?
For real.
You know what?
At a certain point, we all want to be peace and love.
But when it comes to your family, you got to protect.
Yeah.
And that can be in conflict with peace and love.
Yeah.
So peace and love your way back to Francais.
Yeah.
It comes in.
I'm like, you smell like escargot.
What are you trying to, you know?
Yeah, which is delicious.
But I think they stole that shit from the Italians.
That's so like the French, bro.
I think Catherine de' Med's so like the french bro i think catherine
de medici in like the 1400s she cruised with a caravan to france brought a bunch of spices
they put it into a reduction they're like we invented cuisine it's like no it's just been
around dog and dude you know what the issue with them too is they put letters in their words that
they're not even gonna acknowledge in the pronunciation you know it's like why don't you finish your word bro
for sure guys now look if you're like one of the stokers and you love what we say
don't hurt any french people but don't let them date anyone you love there's a balance um
dude my my second beef is i've been reading that weird book again i found
a way to get through it i skipped the studies and it's about people anthropology dude did you know
that they've done studies that if you are in a monogamous relationship your testosterone goes
down what so people from polygenous relationships i think that was the word they used their
testosterone stays higher and in like in certain uh communities like there's this uh group of
people i forget what the exact pronunciation is but the men because it's like uh this is from
the past and they were like a warrior kind of culture the men were in monogamous relationships
but lived with the other men at their own barracks
and weren't at home with the wife and kids. Their testosterone stayed higher as well.
Because when you're in intergroup competition like that, your T stays higher. And yeah,
they've done a lot of different studies and it seems like it's scientifically valid that
being monogamous drops your T a bit. So my beef is with God.
Why did you make it that way? I want to love one person. I want to be loyal to them.
I want them to be my best friend. I want to grow with them, but I don't want to lose tea.
Like, come on, dude, it should be the opposite. It should be that if you're in a monogamous
relationship and you're loyal to that bitch, your fucking tea goes through the roof, dude.
You should be rewarded with that shit.
Because, well, here's the other thing.
When your tea is lower, you're more attentive as a father.
Like when you hear the baby cry, you're quicker to like go take care of it.
And you also get along with other people more easily.
So like living in a community where everyone's got to rely on each other and trade with each
other, that's smoother the lower your tea is. i think i could do that with skyrocket t i don't have an issue with that
stuff so i don't know it just kind of bummed me out that being a legend means that like you're
not hitting your power lifts as hard as you could dude throughout that whole roller coaster of a rant i texted my gf to break up with her and then i just
texted her jk wow because um and now does that sound symptomatic of low t yeah and now i'm gonna
send her a text saying i'm just gonna take trt instead that's what i'm saying that's kind of
the answer right that's how i was gonna do the peptides i'm like look i want to love one person
but i'd like to be virile and kind of crazy and on edge.
So I might have to do steroids, babe.
All right.
That's the balance.
That's kind of the Rogan model.
Yeah.
He gets it.
Wow.
Chad, who's your babe of the week?
My babe of the week.
It's the Rocky Mountains, bro.
I love the Rocky Mountains.
I mean, we were in Salt Lake and we were in Denver and it was epic. mountains, bro. I, um, I love the Rocky mountains. I mean, we were in Salt Lake and
we were in Denver and it was epic. And I love the, you pointed out this word to me, rustic.
I love the rustic vibe of the Rocky mountain West, you know? And I just love in Salt Lake
looking, I was like, man, those mountains are huge. And it's just, I'm just so fired up on america and it's cartography and geography
and all types of augraphy just offering us dank shit like the rocky mountains and then you got
beaches and then you got swamps and then you got new england beautiful
i saw so much.
Dude, my babe of the week is a Mormons at the airport.
Nice.
Dude, when you come off a plane in Utah and you see the family waiting for their kid to get back from his mission.
I mean, look, I know they got some beliefs that seem wayward to the rest of us and you know maybe rightfully so but i get the warmest feeling when i see them their faces of anticipation and pride and you know that kid's about to come
off the plane and he hasn't seen the family or she hasn't seen the family for two years
and they're about to to just be together for the first time it's a beautiful beautiful tradition
and it never fails to move me every time I see it.
Hell yeah, dude.
Yeah, I noticed that too when I was getting up.
I was like, dude, I fucking gave him a huge thumbs up.
I want to go up to the family and be like, I'm so happy for you guys.
Yeah, it's like, welcome home, Tanner.
And then the dad's just standing there kind of trying to be stoic,
but he can't help.
He's a little bit fidgety.
And the mom is just like, she can't wait to hug her baby it's it's really oh and then sometimes i saw
one the the guy was gonna see his kid for the first time whoa so the young wife is there with
her baby and they're like they're about to be reunited wow i mean he's been on a mission he's
been trying to spread the word of this thing he believes in. And,
uh,
you know,
it's,
it's not what I believe,
but I like the, the loyalty to their,
uh,
to their core values.
It's,
it's really,
they live it fully.
And that to me is beautiful.
It fires me up.
Chad,
who's your legend of the week?
Uh,
my legend of the week,
all the stokers who came to the shows
we did our first weekend
at a comedy club and we sold it out
and it's all thanks to you guys
all five shows dude it felt really good
that's so awesome
huge thank you to everyone who came out
you guys were just the best audiences
it was so much fun
and it's always really heartwarming
to meet the stokers because they're all just such good people
and
they're just you know
good dudes and ladies
with good hearts just trying to
live good lives and make a
positive contribution to the world
and then come to a show and just laugh
and just you know
so I'm just extending my love
to all you guys you guys are
legends and thanks for supporting us and just uh being with us on this journey it's been a good
time yeah um my legend of the week i have two again i'm. I have a number one, Jalen Hurts,
the quarterback from the Philadelphia Eagles.
I get messages from Stokers sometimes from that area,
from Philly being like,
what do you think our prospects are this year?
I think they're 11, they're 10 and one or 11 and one now.
I think they're 11 and one now.
And I kept saying, I like the team.
I like Jalen Hurts a lot as a person.
He's a real hard worker.
He squats like 700 pounds as a quarterback. Some know-it-alls on YouTube are like, how does that help him as a
quarterback? I'm like, have you seen him on QB sneaks? Where do you think he's getting that leg
drive from, son? And, uh, but I, I was always, and I liked the way he lost his job at Alabama,
but he was still a good teammate to Tua. And I like how he went to Oklahoma and he just continued
to work his ass off. And now he's probably going to win the MVP.
But I still felt like he wasn't a good enough passer
and I hadn't watched enough this year
to make that assessment.
It was based off past years
where it just didn't look like he could make all the throws
that you got to make to win the big one.
But I got to tell you, after watching him on Sunday,
that guy has improved so much,
which shouldn't surprise me because that's his mindset.
And he looks like he could do it. And I want him to do it. So Jalen, sorry for the disrespect.
You're an absolute beast. And I'm kind of rooting for you. I hope you do get that chip.
And then my second one is Kevin Holland and Steven Thompson. They put on one of the best UFC fights of all time this past weekend. Kevin Holland was probably a little
bit outgunned in the standup department, but still refused to take it to the floor. He was like,
I just want to put on a show, broke three bones in his hand, took more head kicks than I've ever
seen someone survive. And what I liked most is they were both so respectful in the buildup.
You know, everyone, we say we love these. We do. I do love these fights like Khabib versus Conor
or Kamaru Usman versus Colby, where they're like being really mean to each other and saying like the nastiest shit it's always fun to
see that play out but dude i think i might like it more when the two guys are fucking really nice
and they're really sweet to each other even during the fight thompson was apologizing to him for
kicking him in the head like holland be like hey bro that hurt holland's really funny and thompson's
really sweet he's like i'm sorry man and then he'd head kick him again. That's hilarious.
It's hilarious.
And they're warriors, dude.
They're some of the toughest guys in the world,
but they don't act like assholes.
They're cool as fuck.
And then they still put on an all-out war.
And it's very heartwarming in a way.
You're like, these sweet guys kick ass.
And I was very grateful I got to watch that.
And I'm grateful to have those two guys. That's really cool.
In my life a bit.
Chad, what's your quote of the week?
My quote of the week is, comes from, I don't know.
Christmas isn't just a gift.
It's a frame of mind.
You were hot on that too.
That was one of the things you liked about Salt Lake City.
Oh yeah, they had a good light arrangement.
It's a good Christmas town, you know.
So I was walking to get food and there's a good light arrangement in this place.
There's Christmas music.
And I always feel like I rush to the holidays and I don't appreciate them.
So I just stood there in Utah and just looked up and I was like,
Merry Christmas to me.
Nice, dude. My quarter of the week uh the university of
colorado got a new football coach deon sanders prime time dude one of the most legendary maybe
the most legendary defensive back of all time i know people say he's the best i still take revis
just because i watched him more i think he didn't have the high end speed but had better hips and
was a little bit better of a tackler. But Dion legend took over at Colorado.
And it reminded me of an old legend who was a coach at Colorado,
Dan Hawkins.
And this was a rant he gave one time and it's a little bit long,
but I'd like to play it.
And then Jake,
maybe you can overlay the audio coach at the university of Colorado.
Last week was signing day for all the high schoolers to come and sign on
the dotted line.
Well, apparently some little incident happened with the Buffalo football team. We'll let Dan
Hawkins explain. Some guys might decide that it's a little too tough or it's a little too hard. It's
a little too demanding. I'll give you a little example. I got an anonymous letter from a parent that said, you know, we just kind of bummed out this year that the boys only get two weeks off before they start their summer conditioning program.
You know, normally they get three.
Well, we gave them a week at the start of the semester rather than at the end.
But here's my point, okay?
It's Division I football! It's a Big 12! the start of the semester rather than the end. But here's my point, okay?
It's Division I football!
It's a big twill!
It ain't either murals!
You got two weeks after finals,
you got a week at July 4th, and you got a week before camp starts.
That's a month!
That's probably more vacation than you guys get.
And we're a little bummed out that we don't get three weeks?
Go play intramurals, brother.
Go play intramurals.
Where was this?
He was the coach at Colorado,
and the parents were complaining that the kids didn't have time.
Hilarious.
He just snapped in an interview.
The way he goes from being calm and they're a little mad
that they don't have time with the kid.
Takes a beat and then he goes,
it's Division I football!
And then at the end when he's just exhausted, he goes,
go play intramurals, brother.
And Dion gave like a similar speech to his guy.
So it's in a proud tradition.
He was much cooler about it as Dion is,
but it's in a proud he was much cooler about as dion is but it's in a proud tradition of colorado coaches uh just uh letting the players know what time it is
hell yeah chad what's your phrase that we forget after it uh let's beer bong the jaeger
um mine is dude instagram i mean the amount of quotes we absorb every day yeah you know inspiring quotes
if you don't have inspiring quotes it's on you because every freaking bartender and hairdresser
that i follow is just posting the fuck out of them dude yeah if you wish to improve be content to appear clueless or stupid
that's from
Epic
Epictetus
yeah
big stoic guy
yeah brother
it's stoic philosophy brother
you don't want it
be agitated
go be agitated brother
go try to control what you can't control alright You don't want it? Be agitated. Go be agitated, brother.
Go try to control what you can't control, all right?
It's stoicism.
You read one book a month.
You get through it.
You feel balanced.
Lose control of your inner state, brother.
Lose control, brother.
If that's what you want, go lose control.
Hell yeah.
What a great pod.
Yeah, it was really fun.
That's got me fired up.
That was a Christmas gift for me and for you.
Thanks, Jake, for setting it up.
Legend.
