On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, five-year-old Cuban boy,
Elian Gonzalez, was found off the coast of Florida.
And the question was,
should the boy go back to his father in Cuba?
Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home,
and he wanted to take his son with him.
Or stay with his relatives in Miami?
Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom.

Mr. 305 pitbull in the building and is 305
Pitbull. We got Mr. 305 Pitbull in the building.
And is 305 Florida Miami?
I'm guessing it's Miami.
If it's not Miami, I'm going to be very surprised.
Dade County?
It'd be tight if Pitbull was from any other place in the country but Miami.
He 100% is from, lives in Miami, right?
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
I think he's like, he's the ambassador.
I mean, if he was from Baltimore, that'd be fucking hilarious, dude.
Yeah, that'd be fucking cool.
That'd be really cool.
Is he Mr. Worldwide?
Yeah. Mr. Worldwide.
Yeah. OK. And if you're from Baltimore, how many Baltimore people are worldwide?
Outside of Michael Phelps, who are we talking about here?
Wait, is he is he Bemore?
I don't know. I feel like there's some like Reggie Jackson. Outside of Michael Phelps. Who are we talking about here? Wait, is he Bemore?
I don't know. I feel like there's some...
like Reggie Jackson.
Reggie Jackson.
Yeah, he played for the Baltimore Orioles.
Oh.
Mr. October.
Cal Rican Jr. I'm sure he's been around the world.
But is he from there or they just played sports there?
Well, they played... they lived there. I'm not from Southern California, but I've lived here for 20 years.
Now I claim it.
You claim it.
Well, I've lived in Australia, mate.
I'm not an Aussie.
Okay, Mr. 305 down under.
Down under.
What's the area codes in Australia?
Do they do three digits or is it something like?
I do not know.
Yeah, it's funky.
It's like Zed.
Yeah, I think it is four digits.
That's crazy. That's not enough. Do they say Zed instead of Z? I think so. That's wild, dude
Yeah, do the weirdest thing is go ahead. Go ahead. Yeah, I don't know. Say the weirdest thing
I don't know. I said the weird thing. I was I was looking at this pitbull
Wikipedia shit out of wallaby. Yeah, what happened? What's the weirdest thing? Nothing. I didn't... You said it about Pipple just before I said I shit out a wallaby.
What was it?
What is it about Pipple?
Huh?
WAKE UP!
You shit out an entire wallaby, okay.
I... I'm...
What about Pipple on Wikipedia?
Yeah, what were you about to say?
Okay, sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt. I was...
I fucked a dingo. I fucked a dingo.
So what is it? What?
What is on... in the Wikipedia?
Tell me about the Wikipedia page.
Oh, it seemed like you had something
you wanted to get off your chest.
No, dude.
I heard boomerangs.
Did you watch boomerang?
What?
No, dude, I deep-throated a boomerang.
What is on the Wikipedia page for Pitbull?
No, so I was just looking at Pitbull.
I definitely just heard that one.
Did I tell you guys, like I wanted to do, when I hosted the MTV Movie Awards, I wanted to do a bit with Pitbull.
Because he was there, he was in the audience. I met Pitbull.
And Split had just come out that year, remember that movie?
Split Bull.
Oh, that's in the M. Night Chalamon universe, right?
Universe, yes.
That's the real MCU.
Chameleon.
It was super dope, and I wanted to do
a sketch called Split Bowl,
where it's Pit Bull, because he's bald in the movie.
Yes, point!
And then he just does different,
we have him do different characters,
but he's just Pit Bull as every character,
because in Split, he has multiple personality disorder, and so he plays all do different characters, but he's just pitbull and as every character because we're in split
He has like multiple personality disorder, and so he plays all these different characters
And I was like dude that would be hilarious split bowl, but he didn't want I'm like dude. You're mr.
Worldwide we could do different characters from around the world. That'd be so funny. Oh
That's cool, and he wasn't game was not game did not go
Just based on the premise not funny man. I don't like it man. That shit is bad
It needs a punch-up. Yeah, mate. I don't know
I don't I didn't get it back why he didn't love it
But I mean just that by the title alone you'd think split I'm gonna quit
singing or rapping or whatever the hell he does and
Do these do the sketch and this is gonna be my final thing I do before I die.
Maybe he was afraid of peeking,
he was afraid of peeking there with that sketch.
And then it's like, what now?
I think of like Ryan Gosling performing as Ken at the Oscars.
Everyone's like, holy shit, this is it.
This is the pinnacle.
And then the fall guy bombs, people, they don't want't want he's gone downhill from there. You're probably absolutely true
Whoa, and then I also had a weird encounter with I might have talked about this
Who's the other and I'm blanket on his name. Oh DJ Khaled another one
What said at our table? Yeah, he said it. Yeah your guys and we got that very funny, very funny family group photo of my parents,
you guys, Jillian.
I think Chloe is in the photo and then DJ Khaled.
DJ Khaled, not very engaging.
No dude, he sucked.
That guy sucked.
Contrary to like every video I've ever seen of him,
like very excited man. Yeah, super sleepy. No, dude, he sucked that guy sucked contrary to like every video I've ever seen of him like
Very excited man. Yeah super sleepy kind of maybe emergency happening on the phone I don't know very kind of not there actually super dead inside. I was like
We were trying to do we were trying to like practice this sketch that we're gonna do live there
You're like, um, okay hear me out. It's split DJ Khaled.
I forget, I even forget what this sketch was,
but he wouldn't do the line.
The personality disorder, he was like,
and I've got another one.
It was another personality.
Okay, see?
Maybe we should have had that one.
There we go.
Yes, puns.
Lot of split comedy, lot of split comedy.
He wouldn't do the line.
So then he had the setup.
So then I have the payoff.
I had the punchline, right?
And he wouldn't read it.
So then my punchline makes no sense.
So I go, well, if you do it that way, it won't make sense.
He's like, this is just how I do it.
I got a freestyle.
And I'm like, well, you have to set me up, set me up in a way that this will work.
He just couldn't do it.
And then I'm like, I think we have to,
we have to cut this bit.
Honestly, I think maybe he was playing dumb,
but it was malicious.
He didn't want you to get the big laugh.
He wanted the laugh.
Yeah, I don't know.
I even told him, dude, I even told him I would trade.
I'd go, I'll give you the punchline.
And then we did it that way.
And then he didn't say the punchline.
He said some other shit and he goes, it's funnier.
And I go, it isn't funnier, dude.
It's just not, it's not funnier.
I'm telling you.
This is pre-show.
This is right before you go live.
This is pre-show, dude.
This is in the morning time.
Adam just yelling at DJ Khaled, like, it's funnier.
I didn't yell. I didn't, but he was like, it's funnier. I didn't yell.
I didn't, but he was like, it's funnier, do it that way.
And I'm just going, it's not, dude.
I don't know what to tell you, but you're not funnier.
You're not funnier than this joke.
You improv-ing.
Allegedly.
I don't even know if he's funny.
No, come on.
No, he isn't.
What?
No, no, no.
Is he funny?
Dude, he is a personality.
I think that he is outgoing and that's disarming and can be infectious.
You go, whoa, look at this guy.
Unless he's at a table with all of you guys.
Right.
Unless he's at a table with my family and friends, in which case he'll hate it.
He doesn't want to be there.
And hey, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Maybe there was a family emergency on his phone and he...
No, no, no. Backstage, he was having a great time with his family and friends.
Copy that. Copy that.
No excuse.
Yeah.
Damn. He was a whole different guy.
Backstage, he was having a great time.
I'm willing to cut up some slack.
Um, um, ah, yeah, I don't know.
It sounds like you were like,
were you just striking out with all of hip hop
at the award?
Yeah, the hip hop, they didn't really fuck with me.
Yeah, no, I think I didn't get any big hip hop stars
to play along with any of my bit.
That's okay.
Hip-Hole, Hip-Hole, the No, DJ Khaled.
That's the one that I wanted to do.
Split-Ball was the one I wanted to do.
That's really good.
That's comedy gold.
Funniest rapper, who do we think it is?
Because I do feel like-
Funniest rapper of all time.
I would say Ludacris, maybe.
Okay, okay.
Whoop-a-bah!
Yeah, Ludacris' raps are funny,
but is Luda funny?
Dude, he's not.
I've met him a handful of times.
Yeah.
Yeah, you guys hang out a lot.
We were on a plane with him once. It was cool.
That's right.
Yeah.
Smaller than I thought.
And then I saw him at the Super Bowl a couple years ago when he was in LA, and I was like,
hey, what's up, man? And his friend was like, oh, Luda, remember you guys did that thing?
And he refused to remember that we have met before.
And we met probably four other times. He's like, oh, he kept saying yeah, maybe maybe and like looking off in the distance
Mm-hmm, and I'm like, there's nothing in the business like you look over here and maybe there's nothing out there
I'm right here
Which I like with the game wasn't on yet. It was before the game started. So he's like, yeah
I'm just gonna go get everybody beers. Do you want one?
Dude he was looking through me as if I was a magic eye.
You know what I mean? Where you got to stare through it in order to see the picture.
It's a sailboat.
There's a sailboat.
Damn.
Yeah, maybe.
Yeah, maybe.
What a bummer.
Yeah, it sucks.
So yeah, not funny.
It's okay.
Funny music videos, you know? Yeah, really?
And I I'm willing to arm the benefit of the doubt because he has to be funny if you write rhymes that are that clever and funny
Yeah, you do have to be funny
It's just maybe they you know
I see this sometimes when you meet like bigger celebrities and they've just met too many people they are done meeting another. Yeah for sure
And they've just met too many people they are done meeting another yeah for sure
Here's what I'll say I think a lot of rappers are clever yes
but like funny like like
Comedian there we got a fun. There's definitely some really funny rap what Donald Glover do we think yeah? Is that yeah? I guess... Is he a comedian who can rap or is he a rapper who's fun?
A rapper is a...
I feel like at this point he's more of a rapper.
A comedian first.
At this juncture?
He's more of a... at this juncture.
At this juncture it flipped.
Yeah, it flipped.
Like Danny Brown's pretty funny.
Yeah.
He's funny on his podcast.
He's like a knackle.
Yeah, Danny Brown is funny. broadcast. He's like a natural. Yeah, Danny Brown is funny.
Yeah.
He's really funny. There's a lot of, you have to have a good sense of humor and be a rapper.
Chet Hanks?
Chet Hanks.
Chet Hanks is hilarious.
I don't...
Okay, I think we found it.
I mean, um, well, but is he a comedian first, then a rapper? Or is he a rapper turned singer?
No, no, no, no, no, no. He's a rapper brewing through.
Born rapper turned funny.
Born rapping.
Oh, okay.
Well, so we're going with Chet.
That's the final answer.
We're dead.
Dude, absolutely.
Conversation's dead. Done.
On the Mount Rushmore.
Conversation's dead.
I'm racking my brain.
Can't think of one.
And all that's coming is Chet.
You're a butted boy.
Well, Andre 3000, but Andre 3000,
I don't think he thinks he's funny.
Yeah, he's more, he's like mystical. Mystical! He's pretty funny.
I feel like we're- we're probably missing somebody.
We're missing someone really blatant.
Yeah.
I know.
You know, this is gonna be one of the podcasts where people are screaming in their car.
Snoop Dogg!
Snoop Dogg!
Yeah.
And maybe Snoop Dogg? Yeah, Snoop Dogg can be funny.
He's pretty funny.
Yeah. He was really funny on the Olympics. Like like he was kind of going around from place to place
They had him watching. I will say he did a really good job because when I'm stoned
I'm not clever and I don't think on my feet. I'm just like
Turn you turned it off for the moment. Smoke weed every day. I turned I turned the comedy engine off a little bit when I'm high.
Yeah.
He, I mean, he has to be high 24 hours a day.
The few times I've seen him,
he's just smoking blunts continuously.
Right.
Yeah, I think he has to, or his body will shut down
if he's not completely.
And he was like really on it.
I was like, look at him go.
He's zip-zap-zopping.
Yeah.
Whenever I see this, whenever I see this GIF or whatever,
it makes me laugh.
It's when Drake is at the basketball game
and he's on like the Jumbotron,
like pouring a drink or whatever.
And he's like,
so he becomes like super self-aware.
And I'm like, that's funny that he's like,
I'm a world famous rapper who is scared
to be on Jumbotron suddenly,
because people are watching me.
I think we've lost sight because Drake has gotten
so woven into these serious beefs,
but before that, very funny.
Like he slays sketches on Estenel,
like he's got- Yeah, we might be onto something
with Drake.
I think Drake might be the guy.
And is that why he was like permeable as like in a rap battle?
It's like you're you're kind of a clown at the core.
Yeah. And we all know what permeable is and means.
Yeah, for sure.
That is definitely what he is.
Yeah. I think it's the word where it's like you can penetrate. Right.
Yeah. And well, I know what that means.
OK. OK., I know what that means. Okay, okay.
Yeah, that I know.
Permeable?
No, for sure.
Yeah. Permeable, yeah.
I'm about to permeable.
But I'm saying if you get in a rap battle
with somebody who's kind of silly,
a lot of the time, like, it's hard to win.
Sure. It's hard to win when you're-
Pizza, pizza.
I'm gonna whisper that to Chloe next time we have sex.
I'm gonna say you've been permeable.
Permeated. How do you like it?
You think that'll, you've been permeated. Permeated. How do you like it?
You think that'll, you've been permeated.
Ready to get perminated, girl.
And then get ready for the permafrost.
The perminator.
They call me the perminator.
So I think we-
Is anybody Googling this?
I'll be back.
So it's set in stone now.
Drake or Chet?
It's Chet Hanks, Drake, Danny Brown.
Permeable, allowing liquids or gases to pass through it.
Oh shit, you weren't lying.
I just want to party.
Party.
Hey, I'm permeable as hell, boy.
Somebody's been buying some jackets.
Yeah, but, and you know who else is funny?
I feel like Buster Rhimes has gotta be funny.
Yeah, he's an interesting case.
Yeah.
Or at least the dude who hangs out with him who...
Oh, from Flip Mode Squad?
Yes, who always has like the big glass.
Who's that dude?
I think his name is Big Glass.
I didn't know there was anyone else
in Flip Mode Squad but Buster Rhymes.
It's just this, it's really just this other guy.
It's, yeah, it's just this one dude.
He's like a short dude with balls.
He did have an album.
He did.
What the hell is his name?
God damn.
Dizzy?
Dizzy Galepsy.
No.
Do we think maybe Nellie and Murphy Lee,
like the St. Lunatics might be kind of funny?
Spliff Star, Spliff Star.
Go ahead.
Spliff Star.
Yeah, Spliff Star.
I think it goes Spliff star, Chet Hanks.
Old Dirty Bastard?
Oh, I bet he was hilarious to kick it with.
Yeah, dude, I bet kicking it with Old Dirty Bastard
was a good time.
I bet he had jokes for days.
I feel like it's like hanging out with a jackass crew.
We're like, one moment you're laughing,
and the next thing you know, he's like.
You're terrified? Yeah. He's lighting a lighter under under you and you're like that that's burning me yeah
yeah yeah he just he just lit the couch on fire yeah joke wait but as you walk down that path
meth and red dude met the man in red man hilarious and they've been in funny movies there it is very
funny okay all right how high how high up there Yeah up there with fucking some of the greats
So how high up there is how high it's right below chet hanks. I could tell you that. Yeah, it's just chatting. Hey, okay
Chet's head Chet is really holding on that number one spot goes chat. Meh, right?
Drea Drea And then. De.
Split star.
Whatever happened to the,
to the Kendrick and Drake beef,
it just like fizzled out.
Like one guy got shot or they shot up someone's house
and then it, hmm.
That's what happened.
That's why, well, if I,
they shot at Drake's house.
Like Drake's house got like peppered
and I think it's like security guard or something got shot. I don't like that. I don't like that either. Drake's house. Like Drake's house got like peppered and I think it's like Security Guard or something got shot.
I don't like that.
I don't like that either, that's sad.
And then all of a sudden there was no beef.
I believe there had to have been like Drake calling Kendrick
and being like, yeah, let's have a shot at my house.
I don't like this.
Let's just call the shit up.
We were just trying to sell some records.
Yeah, remember when you made your album cover
of my house with like my address and all that?
That's like not that.
Oh, did he really?
Well, he didn't give the address,
but he definitely gave like the satellite view of his home.
Oh, and with AI now?
Oh, yeah.
Forget about it.
Yeah, the Google reverse image search.
Come on, this stuff is easy, man.
But I don't think it's fully dead
because Kendrick is doing the
Super Bowl halftime show. So there is a potential that the beef gets
re-sizzled. We'll have to see what happens.
Why would that re-sizzle?
You think that's going to... I wouldn't even mention a rival at the Super Bowl.
I'd be like, you aren't even allowed to be mentioned here.
You lost. Yeah.
To mention them at the Super Bowl
lets them know that they're in your mind.
You're still thinking about them.
And you're talking to a mental master here, okay?
Oh, yep.
No, but I would just be like,
I'm not gonna bring up that person here at the Super Bowl.
This is my show.
Yeah, but that would be being like the bigger man
and all this stuff, but this is, this is, this is rappy.
If you've still got a-
Is that a shot at Kendrick Lamar's size?
Yeah, height shot. Okay, whoa, okay. Why would you shot at Kendrick Lamar size? Yeah. Height shot.
Okay.
Whoa.
Okay.
Why would you do that?
Okay.
I see you, Mr.
OVO.
No, I'm just saying that I don't, I don't, I'll give it points.
Okay.
I'm saying that at halftime he has the potential.
If anybody didn't know that he fried Drake, he can fry him on an even bigger stage if somehow you avoided the whole mess see but okay I
understand your point Blake but thank you is already one he's doing the
Super Bowl halftime show that's the biggest stage in the world right mm-hmm
it doesn't get any bigger than that oh so, so you've already won.
So you don't need to then be like, yeah.
And fuck all the people that lost.
Right. Like you, you won our.
Right.
I don't know.
That's why I can see that Blake would do it.
Yeah.
Well, like we'll turn the entire Superbowl halftime show into like, just bringing up
old teachers and people from high school, like people that have slided him.
Will Clark, who's, who's Afro fetus People that have slighted him. Will Clark.
Who's Afro fetus now?
Yeah, fuck you, Will Clark.
Absolutely.
His middle school bully.
My baseball team bully that son of a bitch.
I'll put him right center stage.
Right.
If I could put him on blast.
I'm Julian Edelman.
I'm Rob Gronkowski.

Yeah, exactly.
You're in the spook.
I think we have to let them in on our little surprise.

can't believe this.

Yeah, from across town.
My girl across town.
Yeah, across town.
I know a guy across town.
I know a guy.
Readers, publicists, Katie's, and finalists,
tune in to maybe the most unforgettable episode of Lost
Cultures this year.
There's one more question, which I promised myself I would ask.
Can you drop that grunge album?
I'm so mad that I haven't done that yet.
But you don't have to be mad because you're in control.
I am, but who do I drop it with?
Should we start a label?
Maybe.
Wow.
Listen to Las Culturistas on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
or whatever you get your podcasts. On Thanksgiving Day 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean.
He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba.
He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh.
And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere.
Elian Gonzalez. Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez.
Elian Gonzalez.
Elian Gonzalez.
Elian Gonzalez.
At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with.
His father in Cuba.
Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him.
Or his relatives in Miami.
Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom.
At the heart of it all is still this painful family
separation, something that as a Cuban, I know all too well.
Listen to Chess Piece, the Elian Gonzalez story,
as part of the MyCultura podcast network,
available on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I feel like halftime Superbowl, that's the time to get really petty.
Well, when did it get good?
I feel like only in the last like three or four years has it gotten suddenly like they're getting actual
musicians that you care about.
I feel like it, or not even that you care about,
but like they used to get a band that was successful,
but like 15 years.
I feel like The Stones did it 20 years ago, didn't they?
Wasn't that?
Did The Stones?
Didn't they?
Weezer?
Yeah, but remember when we,
it was like Red Hot Chili Peppers,
which by the way, I love Red Hot Chili Peppers.
But they didn't have like a new album that was huge that had just come out.
You know what I mean?
That's fine, they don't need one.
Oh, you're saying like current...
You're saying like current hitmakers.
I'm saying suddenly, suddenly it's like,
oh shit, it's like an event.
Sure.
I feel like it's always been an event.
I don't know.
I feel like they've upped the game here in the last few years.
We're also older.
No, I know there is an exact reason why.
Here we go.
They employed Jay-Z.
He is now in charge of booking halftime shows.
Like Jay-Z is the guy.
Okay.
They switched it over and got Jay-Z to start booking halftime shows.
So that's why shit has kind of elevated in your mind.
I mean, I'm looking at the like Wikipedia page and it was just like marching bands for quite a while.
I'm pissed now.
Damn, Super Bowl one halftime show just fucking sucked.
In the 80s, George Burns, Mickey Rooney came out.
Oh, fuck that.
Okay.
Chubby Chubby Checker and the Rockettes, Elvis.
Let's do the twizz.
Somebody called Elvis in a Super Bowl.
1989 Elvis Presto.
It's like a group of Elvis's.
This is what I'm talking about.
In 1997, they just had a Blues Brothers bash
featuring Dan Aykroyd John Goodman and James Belushi
So fucking disaster my guy. That's pretty good. Was it in Chicago? I mean who gives a shit?
You know what I mean? I mean new kids on the block in 91. Whoa. No way
Are these things on YouTube? I want to watch these halftime shows. Oh dude Michael Jackson
I feel like I had to have remembered that Michael Jackson
No, Michael Jackson was winning the game change 19 remember
He appeared up on the scoreboard and then like all of a sudden he was on stage. That shit was fucking crazy
Yeah, dude. Well, you know that wasn't him right? They just had a guy dressed like him. I well is Michael Jack
They didn't transport.
Oh, I was showing Hank's first joke.
He was like, they thought it was Mike.
In 1992, they their halftime event was called Winter Magic,
including a salute to the winter season and the Winter Olympics.
Featuring Gloria Estefan.
Oh, she's fire.
She's fire. Sure. Sure.
Don Cade. Brian Botano. Yeah. Okay. Brian Botano. Okay. And Dorothy
Hamill. Yeah. Beast. She's in beast mode. Wait, did you say Gloria Estefan? Yeah.
She came back in 99 with Stevie Wonder. What? Dude, she's a two-timer. What? Right.
Dude, I'm telling you, Gloria, she's
got hits. See, this is what I'm saying. They kind of, they used to be, they, I'm sure she
does Blake, but she wasn't the biggest star in the world in 1992. It wasn't the absolute
biggest. Go and ask anybody. Is that her? No, that's not her. I feel like they really set the game up in the last five, 10 years.
You're right. OK.
Even with my love for Gloria Estefan, I she is one of one of the one of the greats.
Those those names are like the fact that they just had ice skaters out
for the halftime show of the Super Bowl is really great.
But were they skating? Oh, I know.
Or they just like you think they just go like this to some music.
Didn't Usher skate that?
OK, so in 1990, they did a salute to New Orleans.
Just saying skating has been around.
He didn't do it first. That's all.
I'm going to leave it there.
In 1990, they did a salute to New Orleans on the 40th anniversary
of Peanuts characters featuring trumpeter Pete Fountain Doug Kershaw and
Irma Thomas and that was the halftime that was the half
Fucking Snoopy out there. Yeah, dude were football fans not rabid back in the 90s
Like were they not absolutely psycho. I just think I just think they weren't doing big halftime shows
That's that's what I mean in the 90s
It sounds like a kid's birthday party like they just brought out the peanuts and it was like do do do do do do
Changes, you know time marches on god. I'm gonna have to run back. I gotta see if these are on YouTube cuz they sound cool
I want to see what the crowd reaction. I feel like
2000 is the like true we got Phil Collins Collins, Christina Aguilera, Enrique
Iglesias, Tony Braxton and Edward James Almos in 2000. Then you're getting into like Aerosmith
and Nsync. What is this? Britney Spears. Oh, they had special guests. Britney Spears. Okay. Nelly.
Oh, you two. That's pretty good. Shania Twain. How many hits does she have? I mean, all you need is like a half hour.
Do you remember her little wing at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
Absolutely.
Boppa Sound!
Never forget.
Never forget.
Yeah.
Wait, or that was Sheryl Crow.
Oh, you're right.
You're absolutely right.
You're absolutely right.
Then I guess I can't forget.
Little yoke on your face, but. I think Shania might've had a little tinier little corner,
but is okay, boys, let's go?
Is that the first time people said let's go?
Shania's point is the first let's go, boys.
Let's go, boys.
Ne ne ne ne ne ne ne.
Is that a bigger song than any Sheryl Crow song,
or no, still not?
I mean, all I wanna do.
Bring up some Sheryl Crow for us. I wouldn't mind hearing a Sheryl Crow song or no? Still not. I mean, all I wanna do. Bring up some Sheryl Crow for us.
I wouldn't mind hearing a Sheryl Crow song right now.
I mean, you guys know it.
All I wanna do.
All I wanna do, that's the biggest song.
Let's have some fun.
That's all she wants to do.
Go to the third one down.
I don't wanna hear the most popular,
but maybe the third most popular.
It's gotta be the sun one. You're right.
You're absolutely right.
You nailed it.
The third most popular song is,
you want me to skip ahead?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh shit.
If you're ever at like a Turkey trap 5k,
like waiting for like the gun to go off,
this is playing
Always by the way Ders I'll never be at a turkey trot 5k. Hey, that's not my ever end
It's not for you. It's for whoever is dude. You don't do turkey trot. I can't walk. Yeah
Well, I mean not anymore. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yeah, of course
I forgot that detail my My bad, my bad.
How dare you?
That and U2's beautiful day. It's a beautiful day.
And people are just like ready to go, eating their fucking Clif bar.
No, my family actively has never ran. A lot of obesity.
There's not...
...not one person has ever ran a 5k or even a 2k.
Even a 1k.
No k's, no k's have been ran.
Zero k's.
Special k's.
Zero k's.
There's that one runner in the divine line-in.
None of us have ever ran.
Your boobs are huge.
Yeah, you're a strong people.
You're low to the ground, you're wrestlers,
you're linebackers.
That is true. That is what we are, yes. You're coal miners, you're linebackers. That is true. That is what we are, yes.
You're coal miners.
You're...
Lazy.
We haven't been coal miners.
No, we're coal miners.
We would mine...
We're all from Iowa.
When we're lit...
There's no coal in Iowa.
I know that, I'm from Iowa.
Yes, points!
I'm from Iowa, I know that.
There's no coal in Iowa.
Where's Iowa?
The hell are you talking about?
Where is coal?
Where do we get coal from?
This is important.
Coal mines.
Is that the rust belt, dude?
I think that's where we get rust.
I feel like it's in like West Virginia,
if it's where a lot of our coal mines are.
West Virginia, we're saying coal mines in West Virginia.
That doesn't sound right to me. I'm going to say the coal mines are in...
Isn't it like Appalachia?
Isn't that where the coal miners are?
Dude, I'm going to say Detroit.
West Virginia.
That's what Isaac said.
What did I say?
How did you know that?
Who me?
Didn't you just say West Virginia?
Yeah, you knew it.
You did say that.
When you're 43, you'll know.
I was going to say Wyoming. I was going to say that.
Wyoming. I was going to say that.
You would have been wrong. 41%.
No, that's the number one spot. Oh, is it?
Yeah, apparently. Yeah.
I didn't know that. I thought it was all on the East Coast. Yeah, what's going on here? Why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why,all mean? No sir, I don't like it. That's crazy to me that 41% of the nation's coal is coming from Wyoming and I don't think
anybody would get that.
No, I wouldn't have gotten that.
I was going to say that I swear to God because I-
Well then why, hey Blake, then why the fuck didn't you do it?
Uh huh.
Hey, I was going to do this, I was going to do that.
You're going to be on your deathbed and you're going to say I was going to live.
Spent all that money. And then, oops, I forgot to, but I didn't. I was going to do that you're gonna be on your deathbed and you're gonna say I was going to live
And then oops I forgot to but I did but I didn't so why don't you go ahead and do a goddamn thing
For once in your goddamn life
On YouTube Adam just ran away
Just Kendrick Lamar me, bro. I'm already dead, bro. You don't gotta refry the bean, bro.
God damn.
This guy is just absolutely slaying me.
Shots fired.
I was gonna say it though.
But seriously, he's not joking.
He's not joking.
Oh, okay.
I was gonna say Wyoming because I've been watching a lot of YouTube videos about it.
Why?
Because I was kind of tripping at where it's located on the map.
What?
Up and over?
Am I chunking?
Wait.
Am I chunking?
No, wait.
So you've recently been watching a lot of YouTube videos about Wyoming because you were freaking out about where you saw it on the map.
Okay, dude.
All right.
Yes.
So you watched.
Yes.
I was blown away.
Is it south of Montana?
It's very north.
I know, but it's very of Montana.
It doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't border Canada.
No, it doesn't.
No, no, that would be Montana.
So that's not very north.
Which also blew my mind. I thought
It's pretty damn nor out dude, dude. That's the West Coast. You should know the West Coast is really wait
No, that is not the West Coast. Yeah, there's like seven states out here. Yes, it is. Well, it's not the coast
But it's sorry. It's the western part of America. It's not the Midwest. Don't apologize. Never apologize.
It's the Northwest.
I would say it's the North, the Northwest.
Okay.
But I thought it was more like Wyoming was over
by like Indiana, like.
Oh my God.
What?
Yeah, I thought it was kicking it there.
Oh dude, I, and I always thought you weren't an idiot.
Yeah.
I really did.
I didn't think you were.
As California transplants, and I'm sure Adam,
you've, you've come across this in your 20 odd years here in
California. People from California don't know anything about anything outside of
California. It's true. It's true.
You don't have to leave and it's, it's amazing. Yes. Incredible.
But like it's wild when they're like Chicago East coast. And you're like,
kind of, I,
I was pretty blown away because I was going through this with Mars.
She's learning her states.
So like I'm learning my states as well.
Wow. Wow. Good.
Well, you're in a state of confusion, brother.
Absolutely. Right out the gate.
It ain't just a song.
I feel like I'm really good until you get to like the Northeast.
I get a little mixed up of like where Pennsylvania and New York and New Hampshire.
Oh, you don't know Pennsylvania?
No, I get a little lost right there.
I get a little lost.
Oh, OK.
OK. Seven percent of our coal comes from there, dude.
Like, come on, brother.
Get your shit together.
Come on, brother. You don't know.
I get a little lost right there just because there's a lot.
It's all smashed in together. A lot of little things. A lot of little things. New England, You don't know. I get a little lost right there, just because there's a lot. It's all smashed in together.
A lot of little things. A lot of little things.
New England, I don't know. I don't know which one's Vermont or New Hampshire.
I don't know.
I forget how I remembered it. Like, Vermont kind of is like yin-yang sign with another state, but I can't... I got to see the map.
New Hampshire. I just don't know which one they are.
New Hampshire is on the right. Vermont is on the left, I think.
I know Maine's that last one.
Yeah, that's on the tippy.
Dude, if you were to tell me to write all 50 states, New Hampshire, I think, would be the state that I would be like, there's another one.
Why do I only have 49 here? There's another one.
Hold up.
Yeah, what would that be? Blake, what would yours be?
Because I absolutely have never met a person that lived in New Hampshire.
I would say mine is probably, I, uh, it's, uh, it's Delaware, Delaware.
I just forget that's a state. See, but Delaware is kind of special because it's the smallest one and you're
kind of familiar with it.
It's not the smallest one.
The smallest one is on Rhode Island.
Or Rhode Island.
Rhode Island is very small, but Delaware you know because of Wayne's World.
That's the only way I know it. I think I would forget like New Mexico. Oh no come on. No. That's so close to us.
I know but yeah, that's a very close. It's like Mexico, but it's new. I like how I go.
I think I'd forget this and you go, no no no. Oh good for you. I don't think you would. I honestly don't. I don't think you would either.
It's for you. I don't think you would.
I honestly don't.
I don't think you would even.
Like Utah?
I feel like Utah.
Utah, you know, Utah.
Give me two, you know Utah.
You've been to Utah.
I know that.
Hey, I know that.
Yeah, I'm saying if you're making a list of 50 states,
you're gonna remember the,
cause you have context clues.
You're gonna be like, where was Breaking Bad filmed?
New Mexico.
Albuquerque.
New Mexico.
Okay, ABQ, big ups.
But I guess I'd be concentrating so hard on not getting New England wrong
because I know that it would be tough that I would just forget Idaho or Utah or New Mexico.
That's why.
Well, here's why I wouldn't remember New Hampshire.
No coal.
Because they don't have a city.
They don't have a city.
There's not one city that you even piss
now and I'm sure someone someone from New Hampshire is gonna be so mad no they
get it they get some states are like yeah we don't but if your big city is
Manchester is it that's England that's England no no I think Blake's right I
think that is England New Hampshire Manchester United you're looking at old
Hampshire mate yeah huh yeah no I don't know I have never been there I'm sure I think Blake's right. I think that is England. New Hampshire. Manchester United. You're looking at old Hampshire, mate.
Yeah.
Huh. Yeah, no, I don't know. I have never been there.
I'm sure it's actually pretty fucking cool.
Like most places are pretty cool, right?
Yeah. Yeah, dude.
Wait, so Pittsburgh? No, this is a different Pittsburgh.
No, Pittsburgh's in Pennsylvania.
Yeah, but Pittsburgh is a town in New Hampshire,
and it's one of their largest.
Sure.
With 813 people.
Mm-mm.
Okay.
Right.
That can't be, that can't be.
And are you, if you live in New Hampshire,
are you commuting to like New York City?
How far is that?
What are you doing out there?
What are you doing out there?
And do you consider yourself part of America?
Mm-mm, you're part of New Hampshire.
Perfect!
You're voting it.
Do you get a vote in our election?
Yeah, they do.
It has to be a super small vote.
Right.
Like as far as electoral colleges go, they get like half of one.
Adam's saying shit that I don't even understand now.
Are they one of the original colonies?
Are they one of the 13?? Are they one of the 13?
Was there 13?
There was 13, yeah.
This is all setting me up.

Can you drop that grunge album?

But you don't have to be mad because you're in control.
I am, but who do I drop it with?
So should we start a label?
Maybe.
Wow.
Listen to Las Colteristas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple
Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy
floated alone in the ocean.
He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba.
He looked like a little angel.
I mean, he looked so fresh.
And his name, Elian Gonzalez,
will make headlines everywhere.
Elian Gonzalez.
Elian, Elian.
Elian Gonzalez.
Elian, Elian.
Elian Gonzalez.
At the heart of the story is a young boy
and the question of who he belongs with.
His father in Cuba.
Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home
and he wanted to take his son with him.
Or his relatives in Miami.
Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom.
At the heart of it all is still
this painful family separation.
Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well.
Listen to Chess Piece, the Elian Gonzalez story, as part of the MyCultura podcast network,
available on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Are you going to do any studying?
I don't think they dumb it down that
much. I do think that they want
smart celebrities to
work.
Yeah, that show has integrity as
opposed to like Family Feud, where
they were like, name one soup.
And you're like chicken noodle.
And they go hot, hot, hot, hot.
And I serve a noodle
like I'm a genius.
All I'm gonna say is I'm about to surprise you guys.
I doubt it.
I doubt it.
I doubt it.
I hope you do, but I doubt it.
I don't think so.
Now you guys are shaking me.
I was kind of like, when I heard the call,
I didn't even bat an eye.
I'm like, yeah, I was broke.
They're gonna be like, the first category female authors and
you're going to go. That's easy.
OK, I guess the Christie.
I've turned down that one.
I also turned down the last
episode with Pat Sajak,
the very last episode.
No, because I
can't spell.
Right. Wait, what?
I can't spell. Why would you have
to spell?
You have to be able to spell to go
know which, you know. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, wheel of fortune wheel of fortune. You will have to fill in the blanks there
Yeah, so I would be like Z. I don't fucking know how to spell this shit
Mm-hmm, but I mean what you're just afraid Pat Tate Jack was gonna roast the fuck out of you
Like we just have a chuckle and you go viral. It's cool. It's nothing new for being a fucking moron.
Yeah.
I try to keep that to this is that Blake has made his living this way.
It's a donor.
Yeah, it's a bagel.
Get it right bagel.
I wish it was a door.
Yeah.
I'm gonna say how did you get that wrong?
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm hoping to continue the is a bagel legacy.
Let's hope that we get a, I love that.
I love that dude.
I actually, I'm, I'm excited. I actually, I turned around on it. You keep hoping.
I'm excited. I'm excited for you to do it.
Thank you.
Oh, I'm excited too.
I've been excited the whole time.
It's going to be very highly entertaining.
It's going to be must watch television and I hope to surprise all my haters.
If the categories are funniest rappers.
Yeah, funniest rappers.
Chet Hanks! Who is funniest rapper. Chet Hanks.
Who is Chet Hanks?
Yeah, do you even know how to do that?
The who is, the what is, do you even know?
I feel like that's gonna get you hemmed up.
Oh yeah, I'm gonna be so worried.
Damn.
Now, what is the possibility that Blake will get zero point?
Like zero.
Oh, you can get negative.
You can get negative.
Yes.
I do believe.
Goodbye.
No, because I don't think you're going to bet aggressively.
I don't think you're going to bet aggressively.
Oh, the daily double?
Bo-bo, bo-bo, bo-bo, bo-bo.
You're not a very, you don't have a risk.
You're risk adverse person.
OK, OK.
So I feel like you won't, if you go up at all,
you're not gonna win because you won't bet enough
to possibly.
God, who are you up against?
I don't know yet.
Is your advice as my friend, go all in,
if I get the daily double and towards the end of the game?
Well, because you, what's the point of just
Playing it safe. Getting third place, because you what's the point of just playing it safe? Getting third
place, which is what you will get. The second loser, right? Well, I kind of wish that we
all did it so like we could be the dumbest three people. It'd be like that was my first
question. We're all negative. We're all negative. Yeah. Yeah. I was like, am I doing it with
the boys? Cause I think I've got a chance.
I would do it that Alex Trebek comes out of the grave to just like, turn the mics off.

Mayim Bialik.
It was her for a year or two,
and then they just shoved her to the side
when she wasn't no good.
It's typical the last seven years
where they're like, there's no host.
We don't, it's not, whoever wants to host can host.
We wouldn't pick one person, that's crazy.
Right.
Oh yeah, because didn't they, somebody really-
They rotated through a bunch of people
to be like, come guest host it.
Yeah, like I feel like there was like,
oh, Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Rodgers was the host
for a little bit.
Yeah, they tried to spice it up like that.
There was like a bunch of weird swing,
but I guess the one that stuck was Ken.
Seems dumb.
Was Mayim not good?
Ken seems fine and he's got like the pedigree,
but like, I'm sorry.
Give me a fucking game show host.
Fucking disaster.
Dude, that's the thing.
There aren't any anymore.
What happened to game show hosts?
They don't exist anymore.
Like, do you remember how fucking steasy
game show hosts were?
Now it's just dumb ass ellipse.
I know, game show hosts were such like
cut from a different cloth.
They were just like the most charming,
you could watch them forever.
They were like- Well here's a trivia question for you.
Do you know who's replacing Pat Sajak?
It's pretty good.
Oh, I know. It's pretty good.
I know. Do you think it's good?
Is it Drew Carey?
Uh. No, he's busy.
I mean, I'm sure he'll do fine.
I'm a little bit like, why?
Cause he loves money. He loves money. This guy doesn't have's busy. I mean, I'm sure he'll do fine. I'm a little bit like, why? Cause he loves money.
He loves money.
This guy doesn't have enough jobs.
I'm like, Jesus Christ.
Wait, hold on.
You guys are giving me a clue?
Ryan Seacrest.
It's Ryan Seacrest.
Oh.
Don Cain.
That's a good one.
Yeah, that's a good one.
Yeah, I think he's gonna be great.
I think he's gonna be great.
Yeah, he'll do good at it, for sure.
But still, like, you know too much about,
like, Pat Sajak is just that.
He's just that.
He's just that.
He's that was so cool.
Like he made his whole brand off that.
But Ryan Seacrest is good at that kind of stuff.
Like he would do a great job.
He'll be wonderful.
But Blake's saying like there's other associations, like whether it's Radio, American Idol, Maya
Fanet, whatever.
It's like a microphone.
What were you?
Are you a new microphone? You're a fucking disaster, my fan, whatever.
It's looking microphone.
What were you?
Can I get a new microphone?
You're a fucking disaster, my guy.
It's not like I said my fantasies.
What the hell?
You keep cutting out at the weirdest points.
Yeah, right when you talk about fucking panda bears or whatever.
Dingoes.
Yeah.
Super weird.
This microphone.
You mentioned deep throat in a boomerang.
I let that slide because we had to get into it, but that was...
I need a new one.
It's like, it just sounds like I'm saying stuff.
I need a new one.
What the hell is happening down under?
What was Ryan Seacrest's jump off point?
What was it?
Radio.
Okay.
Was it before American Idol?
Yeah.
He was a radio host.
And then it was right into American Idol. He was doing both at the same time. Well, remember it was him and there were two American Idol hosts
and the one dude got freaking the boop. He got dunked on. What was the name? Kyle Dunkelman?
No Dunnegan, right? No, Brian Dunkelman. Kyle Dunnegan is like a current stand up. No. Yeah, I thought that's who it was.
No, no, no, no.
What?
Brian Dunkleman.
Is a bagel.
His name was Brian Dunkleman?
Yeah.
You gotta change that.
And by the way, you gotta like,
I feel so bad because he's been like,
saddled with this whole thing,
but like, how do you,
how do you, people know you most famously for
that for being let go what so what happened exactly I I'm sure Durs knows
all the fun history here yeah he was deep in it just not enough runway might
just just like too many fucking cooks in the kitchen they're like we have two
hosts we've got judges like.
They both look the same.
Seacrest.
One is better looking.
I think they were probably like,
Dunkleman's gonna be like the comic timing whatever,
comic relief guy, but then they were like,
oh, Seacrest is actually pretty funny.
Right.
And I've talked about this on the podcast.
William Hung.
Has this gift to talk to people who are insane and crazy and
Highlight that in a way that makes us at home laugh, but makes them there in the moment feel good
Yeah, he should be a politician. Yeah, that's right and not and not just be mean right I thought he
Stepped down from the show like didn't like it
Dunkleman he hated money. Yeah, maybe they allowed him to say that, but I think it was a dishonorable discharge.
I think that's what you think.
Yeah.
I think he was.
This says he quit before season two began.
Oh yeah.
Well, I'm quitting.
This is the most popular show.
He just thought that he just thought the show was mean.
What?
That's a good, that's a perfect, you know what, if I hired PR and I was like, I
need to come out of this as the good guy, that's the perfect angle.
Yeah.
You might be right.
I'm not, I'm not believing that on the other side of the coin.
There's definitely the first, like however many episodes are mean.
And then they changed people's lives for the better forever.
So that's pretty cool.
I love how much you loved the show.
It was great.
But also what if he was talking about backstage?
You were fully in,
but what if he was talking about backstage?
Maybe Seacrest was being really mean to him.
Like, hey, just so you know,
I'm gonna get all laughed out there tonight, brother.
Sack up.
You could probably just stay backstage.
Yeah.
And Dunkle was like,
Hey.
No, I, I, I, Dunkle's, I, I, I ride with Dunkle.
Hey merch, hey, that's our new merch.
He says everything is saying that he quit
after the season ended before it had aired.
And he didn't realize he was about to be the biggest show
of all time.
Like he was like, fuck the show. of all time like he he was like fuck
The show I don't want doing it
Piss now, that's a super airball. That's a huge airball. Oh, dude, that sucks. Yeah. Well, you know, yes
Yes, yes, but at the same time look at him now
Okay, bro, we get it you ride with dunkle. We get it. But like I honestly looking back
I don't think I think he wishes he stayed on the show just a little longer.
Yeah.
Just a little longer.
Absolutely.
Those people were making like $40 million a year just sitting there going, ah, that ain't it dog.
And drinking Coca-Cola.
Dude.
And that was, that was the, uh, the judges.
Right.
Was the host making that same type of money?
I hope Seacrest was.
No, I think Simon Cowell was making the most,
but like Seacrest is probably making 25 for being like,
this is the way.
Come on out and now you are going to sing
Fly Away With Me by Rihanna.
Well, you know, I turned down,
I was gonna be one of the judges for Mass Singer.
You're an idiot.
That I think like Dr. Ken ended up doing.
And I turned that shit down. I was like, this is stupid. That's not going to be a hit. This is dumb.
Do you know what though? That is a stupid show.
Massive hit.
It's a huge hit. I think it's a dumb show. I think that American Idol is an actually well, I think it was a well made show.
We get it, we get it.
He loves American Idol, dude.
He loves it.
Oh sir, I don't like it.
Because what it did, for me what it did was
it took people from out of nowhere
and showed them to the world.
Than Jive, William, huh?
And they got voted for.
As opposed to you tune in to celebrities.
To guess what celebrity, yeah.
I don't give a fuck.
Okay. You know what I mean?
Yeah. And half of the show
for Mass Singer is them being like,
I mean, it's gotta be Tom Brady
and just saying the most famous people's names possible.
Yeah, they're like, we couldn't get him.
And then it ends up being fucking,
what's his name?
Donald Pazan. Like from Fresh Prince. Fucking what's his name? Donald Faison.
Like from Fresh Prince.
Fucking what's his name from Fresh Prince or whatever.
Who's great.
But like, Alonzo Roberto or whatever.
Yeah, it's not the biggest.
Yeah, they're not gonna get Tom Cruise
to wear a parrot hat and sing.
You never know.
Although that'd be safe.
The hosts are so fucking stupid about it.
They're like, I think it's Tom Cruise.
I'm getting risky business vibes.
And everyone's like, yeah, for sure.
I think they have to, right?
I think they have to do that.
They must get like coached by the producers saying like,
we have to say it's big celebrities to get people excited.
Of course.
Say it's the Rock.
But like, they're like fake ass faces as they say it
knowing they don't believe it. Okay. Call me crazy. So you're saying Dr. Ken is a bad actor? Is that what you're
saying? No. Yeah. Dr. Ken's a very good good very good actor. He's not one of the judges.
Or is he? Yeah he is. Yes yes yes. He number one stunt actor. I actually do find it very funny.
You know why?
He's one of those people who.
Well, I'm playing against him in Celebrity Jeopardy,
so whatever you say, I'm gonna tell him back.
No, but maybe.
Okay.
I was gonna say, do you know who you're playing against?
He doesn't.
Throughout his trajectory, he still like swings hard
and makes a total buffoon of himself, which I love about Dr. Ken. Yes, that's really great.
Yeah, he's not afraid to go to the mat. A lot of people at a certain point, like they button it
up and they're like, actually, I'm doing this war drama now. I'm running from Godzilla, you know,
like they just they cross over. Wait, wait a second. That's your career you're talking about.
They're going straight with their throwing dung rings.
This fucking mic.
Yeah.
If I could just, can I get a new mic?
Something is up.
Yeah, they're looking all sexy with rope over their shoulders.
It's just a weird.
Yeah, going like, I can't hold on anymore.
It's just a weird.
We've all been there.
Yeah.
Dude, I'm trying to get that role.
I'm trying to get like, I'm trying to get mine.
Like, uh, you know, I'm dying of some horrific disease type role or something.
Yeah.
That one, your life is your audition.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You guys see me in real life.
Any take backs, any apologies, any epic slams?
Oh man. Hmm. Let's see any take back well
Yeah, I would like to you know, I'd like to take back going as hard as I went on Blake earlier
I don't know what I why I decided to tee off on him in the moment
It was just I felt like it was a good time to do it cuz Kyle's not here. Kyle's not here
I'm the only punching back on a bag back.
Okay.
Yeah.
There we go.
Can't wait for more of that.
I'm screwed.
Jeopardy.
What is a punching back?
Wait, uh, boxers use these to.
Exercise and get into shape for the big fight.
Uh, what is the punching back? What is punching back? He said, did you say, uh, and then he shape for the big fight. What is the punching bag?
What is punching bag?
He said, did you say?
And then he looks at the judges.
He goes, sorry, we can't accept that answer.
And then someone just looks at you and goes, bing.
What is a punching bag?
Yeah, David Boreanus looks at you and just whispers.
Yeah, he goes, what is wrong with this guy?
No, Tom Cruise looks over and says, what is punching bag?
Come on.
It's going to be me and T. Cruise.
For sure.
He's not busy.
Well, I appreciate that take back, Adam, or an apology.
That was really sweet of you.
You're welcome.
I'd like to, I guess I'd like to apologize
to the people of New Hampshire who we kind
of, I feel like you guys were kind of dunking on them.
I didn't personally say anything super mean, but I bet it's a wonderful state.
I'd love to visit.
If you guys have any suggestions, slide into Dyrs's DM and let him know what's going down
in New Hampshire.
That's okay.
The bummer about New Hampshire and why we've never been is there's nothing there to go to. And that's another episode. Maybe you can
take that mic back okay? There's some shit happening. Yeah I don't know what's
going on but when you fuck a shark in Australia I don't know what it's just a
weird mic and if I could just get a new one. That's it.
