Yeah, because it is wild, because he gets mad air and then he sticks the landing, and you know he does this every show, and the place goes fucking wild. They love him. But does he have other songs that people know and like? Does he need other songs? Does he just play that song 35 times? And his name is what? Psy? I think

Okay. Would your knees be the thing that gets sore from skiing? Or is it? Would your knees? I remember my ankles hurting when I skied. Yeah, I mean, if you got like a boot situation, your ankles or your feet can be all kinda fucked up. Fun.

But yeah, no, I just, but I'm also like not going hardcore. And don't get me wrong. There are runs where my thighs are on absolute fire. But I'm not, but that's not something I'm not used to. Like, so I'm not sore the next day. You know? But it's just fun to be outside.

It's just fun to be like out and in the cold. We live in LA, bruh. Yeah. I grew up in the Midwest. I like the cold. I chase it. It's fun to be out there. Okay.

It is weird. I, cause this is a remarkably warm winter so far here in Los Angeles. I've remarked often about it. Okay. I'm always remarking about it. It's like 70, you know, I live down here at Los Angeles. I've remarked often about it. Okay. I'm always remarking about it. It's like 70, you know, I live down here at the beach. It's 70 degrees every damn day.

It's sunny. It's perfect. I wear basketball shorts constantly. Yeah. You bought a bunch of them. I bought way too many of them. And it does make you go a little bit like I'm man That like Eric Griffin posted a photo today Nice of him

It was funny though

But I'm sure more people had his choice. But maybe not. 12 people. But wow. Burn. It made me go like damn dude I haven't felt the cold for one year. I came back to LA and I have not been anywhere cold since then. Was not cold hunting? No. It was a great day. It kind of turns you into a bit of a bitch if you aren't used to the cold. It gets really bad, dude. We've met you. Okay. I'm not starting. I'm not starting this week.

It's a new year, new me, please, Ders. Of course it does, of course. It makes you soft. It makes you soft. I don't like it. Yeah, LA makes you such a bitch, dude. By the way, not like I get any like harder after like going skiing for the week I don't show back bossing up on people

I don't know skeins like the ones port that you definitely don't come back harder. Yeah. Yeah, but Just being in the cold like by the way, even in the morning I go running in the mornings now It's like 40 and I'm out there in like my fucking tights and long sleeve shirt and shit, bro. So good. Yeah, no, keep going, keep going. Don't see it! So crazy, you can see like,

I wouldn't describe it as a bulge as much as it is like, an inward dent. There's like a situation. An indentation. Please use my dick. Yeah, that's cool. It's almost like an anomaly or an abnormally King yeah, there's like a ridge back Honda

But putting on the tights I'm like your bitch your bed what time are you going out there? Yeah, what is this like butt crack is it still dark after six? No, it's light out. Okay. Yeah, okay shit Is it still dark? After six, no it's light out. It's light out. Okay, shit. Let's go! But like Australia, this whole Australia lifestyle thing fucked me up and now I get up early.

It fucked you up. I'm gonna have a magic mind. Did they send you any of these magic minds? No, I'm unaware of what that is. No, I think mine are with my golf cart. I don't know. Don't give a bitch. I think how you got that on a golf cart,

mine are all together on Isaac's desk or something. Yeah, I just get Heineken zero zeros. Oh, I'd like to shout out DeNago, De-nago? De-nago, the golf cart company, for giving me that pre-golf cart. That was so- What the hell? I was sick of that.

And how about, I'd like to shout out, did not get one. Oh! Yes, points! Oh! A big shout out to would love one. Please. No, remember when we were sent, I think we were sent, we all were sent these.

Nope. Because I did not call them out, so I don't know why they would send me anything specifically. I don't even know what you're holding up. It looks like you're holding up a small dictionary. It's called Magic Mind. I've never had one. But we also were sent that thing called Feel Free that now you have to be 21 and over to buy. Blake,

do you know what he's talking about? None of this is ringing a bell. Dude, I'm not getting sent anything except Load Boost. We'll circle back. This dude just did this. That's the most important thing. Well, Feel Free, they're whatever. They're just this is like a little ginger shot. I don't know if it's gonna do anything, but feel free, dude. It's very green. Chloe told me about it before we even came home. I was like, I think they sent us something about that for the podcast. It's like it comes in a blue bottle. Oh, it's she was like, yeah, I guess people are getting like addicted to it. Yeah, it's like it sounds like bad news. It's The way they're explaining it's like a mix of Adderall and ecstasy and I'm like isn't it kratom or something

Yeah, the kratom is one of the and kava root is the other ingredient. Yes. I did take one of those So you got it. I did yes. Yeah. Yeah, so Sorry, where's it? My kids are on the roof. Holy fuck But it does dude it like kind of runs in the background It's not like a full like whoa what's happening? But it's for a guy that it's not drinking right now and is looking for any anything I'm looking for anything right just alter my mind licking and that stuff Now you have to be over 21 to buy it.

It used to be you can just buy it anywhere. And now I just bought two cases of it because I'm addicted to it now. And it's called what? Feel Free. And it comes in a little blue bottle. And this is not what you just held up. No, no this is I'm hoping I just found this on my desk And I'm hoping that it does fucks you up right the cause of diarrhea because the feel free shit works, dude If you feel great, I mean you're not supposed to abuse it, but you know you do you know yeah I don't think you're supposed to like drink anything else with it, right you just go solo straight feel free You mean drink any like more alcohol yeah, you can drink like it, right? You just go solo, straight, feel free. You mean drink any, like, more alcohol. Yeah.

You can drink, like, water, right? I would hope so. I mean, you can, dude. You can do whatever you want, dude. Yeah, but it might enlarge your liver. I was just gonna say, this motherfucker, spoken like the true liver king. Welcome back, new year, new you.

Call me the liver king. Oh, remember that guy? What happened to liver king? I miss him. He said he was on steroids He's still he's still on my feed You're still a huge liver King fan we're like what happened goes he posts every day he posts all the time He's always posted every day. Is he yeah, he was hot for a while steroids though, right? That was the whole thing

No, he never admitted it. But there were like emails where he's like, I need more steroids. I take a ton of steroids. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he's like, no, that was that wasn't me or something. That was a bit. Yeah. But he definitely I thought I honest, I think he like came out and was like, admitted was I think he admitted it. It's science. He had to be like, I know the things came out. I just want to make sure I'm not advocating for it.

Right. Wasn't that he would they were like, take the safe angle be like, I know the things came out, I just wanna make sure I'm not advocating for it, right? Wasn't that, they were like, take the safe angle of like, you made a mistake you don't want anyone else to make. Wasn't that the whole thing? I can't remember exactly, but I do remember, I think, I think, okay. This is how you, if you're about to say something stupid, you are able, this is your back door exit.

Right. Allegedly. I think I remember him apologizing. Okay, or what Blake says they said that What they say they say it? I think they they did say that no cuz his whole thing was that he was like naturally buff That was his whole thing. He like a testicles and that's what made him strong Yeah, he just ate lip. Well, hey liver. I live it was the whole and testicles and that's what made him strong. Yeah, he just ate liver. Liver was the whole thing. And testicles. And like testicles, like brains. But he just didn't want to be called the testicle king?

No. Yeah, that's not as cool. Yeah. Pretty cool. Isn't it? Even like raw organs. Isn't it? I mean, it doesn't sound dope, dude.

It's not. No, it looked bleh. Just have a steak. Just have a steak. Those OC bros, Chad and JT, I did their podcast fucking years ago now and they were like, here have some liver. It's gross. And I was like, sure.

Oh, you guys are young. I'll hang with you guys. And I was like, why are you eating this? This is gross. Damn son, where'd you find this? I love when Ders tries to be young and hang with the young guys, dude. That's the way you get young is you eat liver. Hey, this looks pretty fetch.

Hell yeah, brother. Brain rot. Oh, brain rot was that was the word that got into the dictionary this year or last year, I should say 2024. Brain rot. Yeah. Are you guys familiar with brain rot? Please explain.

Uh, it's like, it's kind of like meme culture like kids all do it's like dude it's such a long involved thing like do you not know the definition? Skibbity toilet, Giat, all that shit it's like wait skibbity toilet got in the dictionary? No like that's all part of like the brain rot universe it's all basically like internet meme culture. Like taking over your children's minds. What are you doing? What? How do you know this stuff?

Because Blake is, or just he. I'm a sponge. He's just addicted to the internet is what it is. Like when you see, when your phone gives you a weekly thing, unless you're not on your phone, your own laptop, I don't know, what's your weekly hour on the phone? Cause I see mine and I'm embarrassed. It's science.

Weekly what on your phone? Like it gives you your percent. Like it goes, you were on your phone this much this week and I'm usually around like four and a half hours. Yeah. That's exactly mine. Mine's always about four, four and a half. Yeah.

I think I'm at six. Whoa, whoa. Yeah. I think I'm at six. Whoa, whoa, whoa! I think I'm at six, yeah, unfortunately. And I'm not happy about that. So you're one third more than Ders and myself. I love the internet, guys. Wee-oo! Yeah, you do, I know, I know you do.

And so brain rot. So brain rot. So think of all the things you could be doing with that extra two hours. Yeah, god, I could be skiing. That's okay. Because it's fine because you know what brain rot is and I don't. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, that's true. But what I'm starting to wonder is, does he? Because I'm asking him to explain it and he can't. By the way, I'm looking at the words that are in the dictionary and brain rot is not one of them. What? I thought...

Bed rotting. Bed rotting is. Oh yeah. Bed rot. I think they're adding... No, I think they're adding it. They're adding it this year. Or in 2024. Like it's gonna be the word that it gets into the dictionary. You know how they put it? Is bed rot in the brain rot world like you said? So this is... No, no, no. Bed rot's just Is bed rot in the brain rot world, like you said? So this is a...

No, no, no. Bed rot's just when you lay in bed and rot. This is bed rotting girl dinner and dictionary.com's new 2024 words. Okay. Wait, but this isn't, whatever was just put in our chat, losing your mind looking at memes,

the dictionary has a word for that. These are just words that are already in the Demure dictionary now. Like Demure, like that's not a new word. Yeah Demure is already in the... Well that was like a trend, the Demure. I know but it's already a word that exists on like Willenium. Sure.

Or Jiggy. Sorry, Jiggy was the one that made the dictionary back in the day that I remember being like, well here we go. I love that. That was huge. And bling bling. And we're out. At one point bling bling made it, and I was pretty stoked. So the 2024 words, the ick,

is a noun, a sudden feeling of disgust or dislike. I bet you use that, right, Blake? The ick? Yeah, I use it constantly, the ick. You guys give me the ick. To me, this is what, go ahead, go ahead. The whole world gone crazy. Thank you So so this is weird because like bed rotting those are two words that are in the dictionary

How could it be added to the dictionary? Girl dinner this is my problem. It's science. This is my problem Okay, girl dinner. Yeah, is that these aren't new words. That's these just these just seem like dinner is that these aren't new words. These just seem like Merriam-Webster or whoever the fuck it is. That stupid bitch. They're just trying to like find relevance every year to be like, by the way, we are the dictionary. By like saying, hey youngsters, we're down with your lingo.

But these aren't going to fucking, these aren't staying. These words aren't staying. So you're putting in the dictionary. Unlike, unlike Willenium, which is here. You don't think the ick is gonna be? Forever. Willenium is still on the tip of your tongue. Yes.

No, Jiggy. Jiggy is still, it still holds a ton of weight. It's still right there, dude. I'm getting Jiggy with it. You're giving me the ick. But what I'm saying is they're putting in words at the moment as opposed to being like, people have been saying this for 10 years,

it's gotta go in the dictionary. Well, here's one. Which is what makes sense to me. Well, why don't you cry about it? I might. That makes sense, I'm with ya, I'm with ya, Ders. Why are we going, hey, we've been saying this for 12 months.

It's in the dictionary. Let's throw it in there next to the word about. Right, right, right, right. What? Yeah, well, you have a good point. Let's put it right next to critter. So girl dinner is used as a noun in that- Let me guess.

And often attractively present a collection of snacks that involve little preparation, such as small quantities of cold cuts, cheese, fruit, cherry tomatoes, et cetera, deem sufficient to constitute a meal for one. Shut up, bitch! Okay, so it's a snack. So that's what I'm saying,

is that we've been saying snack forever, now it's girl dinner, right? And even recently, people have been saying looking like a snack, which is very fun. Absolutely, which is great. But girl dinner has been being, we've been saying this for 12 months, tops. And now it's in the dictionary?

Is tight buttholes there? Yeah, that's where that tight butthole didn't catch on. I don't even want it in there. I would like it. I do. That'd be kind of tight. That'd be sick. That'd be great. That'd even want it in there. I would like it. I do Here's something that we have pretty privilege So an unearned and mostly unacknowledged social advantage that a person has by fitting into the beauty

Standards of their culture which I feel like we all have that but that's two word Yeah, if if like Riz. Oh yeah. Riz gotta get in. Miriam or Webster, whoever is listening. You fucker. Just pick words that have been around for 10 years. You gotta give it some time. And then it's just as exciting.

It's just as cool. But then you gotta wait 10 years. And they gotta sell these dictionaries every year. They gotta sell these books, man. But guess what, Adam? What's up? They got to. 10 books, man. But guess what, Adam? What's that? They got to. There was a 10 years ago, every day,

tomorrow and the next day, there was a 10 years before from then. So every year has a 10 years ago. No. Take me outside, how about that? That's not how that works. Well, take me outside, how about that? That's not how that works.

What do you mean that's not how it works? They could completely go. So these are the words of the day 10 years ago, but not every year. Words of the day. Sorry, the words of their time. No, but you said words of the time. Jumped down a stroke, bro. Get home.

Get home. That is correct. What you're trying to say is that they've stood the test of time. Correct. Not every year there's a new word that stands the test of time. Yes. But my point is, every year there can be words that have stood the test of time the last 10 years that get put in as opposed to like Riz where they're like, my nine-year-old says

Riz all the time. My kids are running around saying. Well they sound cool because Riz is going to be the one that sticks around. No, no, no. They say, not Alpha. They say Skibbity To they saw because Riz is gonna be the one that sticks around no no they say not alpha what are they saying? It's a bagel. Sigma Sigma Sigma Sigma they run around being like dude it was so Sigma like if if this is in the brain rot universe that's in the brain rot universe welcome you're part of it and you didn't even know. Hey y'all, I'm Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, host of Therapy for Black Girls. And I'm thrilled to invite you to our January Jumpstart series for the third year

running. All January, I'll be joined by inspiring guests who will help you kickstart your personal growth with actionable ideas and real conversations. We're talking about topics like building community and creating an inner and outer glow. I always tell people that when you buy a handbag, it doesn't cover a childhood scar. When you buy a jacket, it doesn't reaffirm what you love about the hair you were told not to love.

So when I think about beauty, it's so emotional because it starts to go back into the archives of who we were, how we wanna see ourselves and who we know ourselves to be and who we can be. So a little bit of past, present and future, all in one idea, soothing something from the past. And it doesn't have to be always an insecurity. It can be something that you love.

All to help you start 2025 feeling empowered and ready. Listen to Therapy for Black Girls starting on January 1st on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. The forces shaping markets and the economy are often hiding behind a blur of numbers. So that's why we created the big take

from Bloomberg podcasts to give you the context you need to make sense of it all. Every day in just 15 minutes, we dive into one global business story that matters. You'll hear from Bloomberg journalists like Matt Levine. A lot of this boomstack stuff is I think embarrassing to the SEC. Amanda Moll, who writes our Business Week buying power column. Very few companies who go viral are like totally prepared for what that means. And Zoe Tillman, senior legal reporter.

Courts are not supposed to decide elections. Courts are not really supposed to play a big role in choosing our elected leaders. That's for the voters to decide. Follow The Big Take podcast on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you listen. Hey, everyone. podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen. Hey everyone, I'm Madison Packer, a pro hockey veteran going on my 10th season in New York. And I'm Anya Packer, a former pro hockey player and now a full Madison Packer stan. Anya and I met through hockey and now we're married and moms to two awesome toddlers.

And on our new podcast, Moms Who Puck, we're opening up about the chaos of our daily lives between the juggle of being athletes, raising children, and all the messiness in between. We're also turning to fellow athletes and beyond to learn about their parenthood journeys and collect valuable advice, like FIFA World Cup winner Ashlyn Harris. I wish my village would have prepared me for how hard motherhood was going to be. And Peloton instructor and Ratchet Mom Club founder, Kirsten Ferguson. And I remember going in there hot mess. So listen to Moms Who Puck, a production of iHeart Women's Sports and Deep Blue Sports

and Entertainment on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports. Would you guys be able to guess what this word is in the dictionary now? Okay. Enshitification. Enshitification. Is that making something shitty? I'm gonna go. Making something good shitty?

I'm gonna go. Making something good, shitty? The gradual degradation of an online platform or services functionality as part of a cycle in which the platform or service first offers benefits to users to attract them, then pursues more and more profits at the expense of users. Goodbye. Here's the problem. There's probably already a word for that that people don't know. So they're inventing new words to be like, this is a new word. And it's not a new word that's going to stand the test of time, unless it's like jiggy, which is still at the tip of our tongue.

And shitification. Dude, there's a cozy is in the dictionary. Cozy. Well, yeah, of course. You're saying it just made it? It just made it. Cozy. According to this, according to time.com. Come on. Cozy. Well, yeah. Of course. You're saying it just made it? It just made it. Cozy. According to this.

According to time.com. Come on. Cozy. Hang on. Cozy. Cozy Kitchen. Cozy has been in the dictionary. They might be adding like, what do they call it?

An addendum? I think they're adding an adjective. No. Or is it kids on the street are calling, it's a add-a-da-da-da. I got nothing. Yeah, for sure. But they're adding it to the definition of cozy. Okay.

What did they add? What's the new definition? So it's relating to a genre of mystery stories with little suspense, explicit violence or sexual content, often also having amateur sleuths and idyllic intimate settings. So kind of a shitty story. Mystery stories with little suspense. This is what I'm talking about. Who is this for? Why does the dictionary think that they're getting

any sort of like street cred? What is happening? Kids want the cool new dictionary. They're like, dude. So dude, I mean, what kind of stories are these? They're like, oh, it's a mystery story. And guess what, little suspense. Not a lot of suspense, not very suspenseful. Yeah. Just a dash. And it's on a cute little island off the East Coast. Yeah, it's kind of intimate settings, yeah, it's cozy.

What would that be? Like you're just looking for your wallet on vacation or something? There's a possibility. There you go. Yeah, hey, you just wrote a cozy. Hey. Whoa. So I'm a cozy. You wrote yourself a cozy, homie. So cozy is a genre. There you go. Yeah, hey, you just wrote a cozy. Hey. Whoa. So I'm a cozy.

You wrote yourself a cozy, homie. So cozy is a genre. Hell yeah. Yeah. Interesting. OK. Did kill me. Yeah, these are all pretty fucking stupid.

Here's one. It's just called slow fashion. You know fast fashion, where everything's just made shittily, and it all falls apart, and it's garbage within a year? This is just eco-friendly, well-made clothing. Oh nice. What is this? What's it called?

Slow fashion. Slow fashion. So this is what I'm talking about. Quality goods. Yeah. Fast fashion has been around, people have been saying it, and then someone's just like, well you know what's slow fashion?

Slow fashion. You mean just fashion? Yeah, you mean just well-made products? Yes, quality performance. Like, here's something that I think should be in the dictionary, I don't know if it is, but it's been around for a long time. We're all saying it, not constantly,

but we know what it means. What's that? Weird it out. Mm, okay. Weird it out. Right. That's not in? When people talk about weird,

because I write weird it out in like, on like Microsoft Word or like in Final Draft and like it still doesn't know it. And I'm like, it doesn't know weird it out. Like when someone's weirded out by something, right? We all know what that means. Yeah, that's cool that you're writing weird it out enough that this bothers you.

Cause it's a very specific thing. Yeah. You've never read Durs's Cozies. Yeah. His cozies are crazy. It's a very specific thing. Yeah, Durs's Cozies. His cozies are crazy. It's a very specific thing. Yeah, Durs's Cozies rock. Has it been around?

Has it been around? Someone's putting in the chat. Weird out. Yeah, weird out. But weirded out to make any... No, it's right there, weirded out. Great. Okay, there you go, man.

So it's in the dictionary, so... See? Yo, so chill the fuck out, dude. Yeah, man. Yeah, god damn. Fucking get off Webster's back. But I'm saying that's a good example of something that's stuck around. Okay.

Okay. What about ain't? Has that made the dictionary yet? Because that was always something my dad would say. For sure. Yeah. Yeah. Has taint?

Has taint? Taint's been around. Taint? That's kind of, or what was it called, a grundle? Is that in the dictionary? But these have been around. But is that in the dictionary? But so, isn't there a is that in the dictionary? But so isn't there a new word for it that came out this year that people were saying? In-shitsuary. What was it?

In-shittification. That's good. I mean and there's also dumb shit like extreme heat event. Come on. I mean that's not a word that's a whole last sentence. That's called a heat wave. Yeah that's I mean... That's not a word. That's a whole ass sentence. That's called a heat wave. Yeah, that's... I mean... Yeah, we all kind of know what that means. You don't need to put it in the dictionary. The definition is the word.

Yeah, it's what it is... like... Like a word being... it's really hot out right now. It's an event. Can we just make America great again? Okay, here we go. I know the truth comes out from you. It's New Year, new me. New year, new me. I think what I'm trying to get. Okay, here we go. I know the truth comes out from you. It's a new year, new me. New year, new me.

I think what I'm trying to get to here is. You need another four inches. I have the whole world going crazy. Oh my God. Oh my God. I'm looking up taint. I do feel like there was a new word for taint. I'm pissed now.

Yeah, it was a gooch. It was a gooch. The Chad. No, gooch has been around to that I don't know if that's the like those should definitely be in the dictionary. Those are staples. I agree the English language Hey, you're not gonna hear any disagreement from here. And then did you guys know that I'm pissed now Donald Trump was named person of the year by Time magazine and people were very upset about that, but that makes sense He was I know that that Time magazine and people were very upset about that. But that makes sense. He was. I know that that's, I know people were wildly upset and I was saying, well,

obviously he was the person. Who's runner up? If you're angry, who do you think it, who, who should have been the person of the year? LeBron James. Kamala. Kamala. Kamala. Um, you know what I mean? I'm like who's done...

What is person of the year? Is just the most talked about person? Is that... Yeah, the person who is top of mind. Garnered the most attention. Yes. Who's contributed the most to the enshinification of our brain rot. Okay, cool, well then he got it. Thank you. He got it. He got it. Give it to him. Give it to him, baby. Yeah, he was kind of the main news source.

Fuming. Yeah. Yeah, I mean guys, he's here to stay. Yeah, we're not forever. That guy, that guy's never gonna die. Here's my question. Obviously he's old, right? But like, I do have the feeling where I'm like,

this dude ain't dying. Like how old do you think he's gonna live? I don't understand it, dude. He got shot, dude, if you were to shoot me at 80 years old, even if it just nicked my ear, I'm dead. I'm dead, dude. All right, just the shot, like just hearing gunfire. Yeah, oh God!

Oh! Oh! Liver explodes. Yeah. My large liver would explode. shot like just hearing gunfire yeah oh god oh liver liver explodes yeah my lip my enlarged liver would explode yeah people are like I think he's gonna die soon I just don't know if he's gonna die any day soon he seems to eat KFC like wrong it's good for you know what he didn't do it's really good for you and I'm finding out the more I don't drink how bad drinking is for you I have a large liver from all the past drinking. He never drank and he never did drugs.

Right. Yeah, his brother was a alcoholic who died, right? So that'll do it. Is that right? Is that why he didn't? Yeah, that's kind of why he steers clear. Yeah. Oh, I thought he was just a fucking dork. Well, he also is that. Yeah Yeah he had an older brother who died from alcohol like related complications. Oh that's why you got to start you got to show that you do it better than your brother come on. That's true. Well that is that is actually pretty normal because how much older because you have to really drink a lot to die that young. If our producers could Google that. Yeah how much older was Donald Trump's

alcoholic older brother? I'm drunk now. Because if he was like five years older, that's a lot of drinking to be doing. And then if you guys could Google ways Donald Trump could die. Google that please from your personal laptop. Possible ways. No, what's the age gap there?

I think an older brother. I think he was older as well, but. Ronald. I think he was younger. Oh. They were twins. Okay. Twins.

Ronald and Donald? Dude, that'd be so cool. That really would. Have there ever been twin presidents? I think that's the movie Dave, right? Well, yeah, body double. Yeah, body double. Yeah. Body double.

Like there just so happens to be a guy who looked exactly. Identical, yeah. I think that was the first movie I watched where I was like, I'm a grown up now. Like it's not a movie for kids. It's just kind of like charming and appealing. Yeah.

Do you guys remember that, I mean, I talked about it when it was happening to you guys in the work hallolics writers room, but there was a guy that looked just like me that was going to this bar in like, like Pennsylvania or some shit, and then he got caught like trying to date-rate people, and people were What? Coming after me on Twitter, like a lot of people being like, what the fuck? And I'm I'm not in Pennsylvania don't remember in yeah it was really and he was telling people that he was me it was like right at the beginning of workaholics it was

like a wild I don't remember that that's crazy yeah I remember you had like well maybe I do remember this you've had a lot of Adam your life is very interesting sometimes the most interesting man. You should be person of the year. There's just a lot of wild, you're like a magnet for I don't know what, man. But yeah. Dragon energy. I don't know what's going on.

Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. That's wild. It's probably why my liver's enlarged. I go big. I go hard. Boy, you're still going to send it.

That's why at 41, I'm drinking Heineken zero zero. Bulli! And so did someone just buy the rights to the name Heineken zero? Yeah, why did they add the two zeros? Because it's weird to go zero point zero. Maybe Coke Z Coke zero because then you think maybe it's calorie. Well, cuz some of these non-alcoholic. I think that's the right answer I think I just got the right answer. 0.0. Blake got so excited. Can you see how excited?

You've got to get out of the house, bro. I'm so excited. Do you have no wins? Have you never won an argument at home? Yeah. He got so excited that he thought he got the right answer, dude. You're my best friend.

This is unbelievable. Look, I know, I'm just like, maybe, yeah, yeah, maybe you got it. Your eyes were like this big answer dude. You're my best friend. This is unbelievable. Look, I know, I'm just like, maybe, yeah, yeah, maybe you got it. Your eyes were this big. What the fuck? Gross. I was stoked. I know, yeah, okay, you know what, Blake, yeah, maybe.

It's like enlightening it in a bottle. I got the right answer. Maybe you got it. Well, it's not right. I was gonna say, maybe more likely is that other non-alcoholic beers are not 0.0, they're like zero point, and there is a little bit of alcohol in there.

Well, this has to also have a little bit. All... No, 0.0. Oh, you think it's 0.045? Yeah. Like, after the zero? Yeah. Sneaky, sneaky.

I do. Well, they're a sponsor, so let's see. I bet it's zero. Yeah, I bet it's zero. It's probably zero. They are the best. They are the best. they are the best. I also had a Corona one the other day,

and I had it without the lime, garbage. But then I had it with the lime, and it was okay. I think the lime masked it enough that you're like, yeah, there's like a... Ugh. You gotta make sure it's a Corona Extra. That's good. Dude, I used to make fun of people

that would drink the Heineken Zeros. Why? For being sober. You know, just really take them down. You know, he's a boss. Come on, man. Adam doesn't let anything slide. That's not cool.

Booch! Oh, this is pussy. No, I mean, just because I'm like, dude, if you're not drinking, that's fine. But why pretend? OK, answer your own question. Just have a better tasting beverage. Like a soda's probably better tasting than a shitty beer.

Or a seltzer water. And now answer your own question. But when you are out and you're not drinking and you're around a lot of people that are drinking, you'd wanna just kinda feel like you fit in. You don't wanna constantly be answering questions about you not drinking. Right.

If you drink the, you know, you hold the label like this. Everyone just assumes you're drinking. And if someone notices the zero parts here, you could tell them. It's not that big of a deal, but you're not trying to like wave that flag super high all the time. It's kind of annoying, you know? And also it kind of reminds you of drinking and the good old days and what you miss about it and how much you love drinking and how much you wish you were drinking. Right. I just wanna party.

Yeah. All right, Adam, cool, man. That's your truth, brother, good for you. I feel like you can also just drink a water. You can, but. But I know where you're at. I know where you're at. It's a little taste of home, baby.

Whatever works for you, you know what I mean? I miss it. I miss it. I have an enlarged liver, I It's a little taste of home, baby. Whatever works for you, you know what I mean? I miss it, I miss it! It's good. I have an enlarged liver, I miss it! The taste of beer. Yeah, I do think it's more of that. I think it's less about you hoping people don't ask you about you not drinking and you needing it.

Yeah. So bad. I just want in the tip of the tongue. Give me, give me, give me. I am excited, dude. This is our New Year's episode. I'm drunk now. Happy New Year.

So it's New Year's Eve. So tonight, we filmed this beforehand, but tonight I'm going to be in the Bahamas with Little John. And I will be drinking for the first time in months! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! And I'm so, so excited to do that. I'm so excited.

Do not die. Dude, yeah. Remember not to go super hard back into it. That's how you get into trouble. I do like that you just found out your liver was enlarged. But that's not information you're gonna remember or use. Let's pretend that didn't happen till after New Year's. No, dude, I guarantee you your livers are, Blake's liver's for sure large, dude.

There's no doubt. I've actually seen it poking out. Blake is an alcoholic. I don't think my liver is enlarged. You have an enlarged, if I have an enlarged liver, you have an enlarged liver, dude. I don't know, I'll have to get that checked. Yeah, get a check, go to the doctor, get a full,

dude, they did a ultrasound on my stomach, so they're like looking. To see if you're pregnant? No, at the doctor's office, to see if I have enlarged livers, and turns out I do. Interesting. You know, I don't know if your doctor fucking sucks or not. But yeah.

You guys should get like a twofer. Yeah. Let's go in together. If your doctor doesn't fucking suck, he will ultrasound your stomach to see if you have enlarged livers. I'm into that. Also Blake, there's a chance that the doctor

inspects your entire body and goes, your liver's enlarged, but the good news is it's not the only thing that's enlarged. Okay, doctor. Now this is a check. And he goes, and also your pancreas. Your pancreas.

Oh, that's not a good thing either. Nope, that's not the good news. You need another four inches. Damn. Yeah, that's, I need the- You're gaping asshole. Jesus. This doctor sucks.

I'm not going. I don't want to know that. Dr. Brozarks. So Trump's brother was 42 when he died and he was the older brother and he was eight years older. Right. Eight years older. So Trump was, what is that, 34. So you're telling me that Trump, he said he's never drank. So he didn't drink because of his older brother. What is that? 34. So you're telling me that Trump, he said he's never drank,

so he didn't drink because of his older brother. Did you just say Trump was 34? Yeah, right, if he's eight years older. I'm gonna come. Sorry, when the brother died. Yes, his brother died when he was 42. This is a good math problem. Oh no, no, so he'd be what, 30, yeah, 34, right?

Yeah. But I think that it was like, as a 16 year old, he already saw his brother was fucking out of control. Wasted and was like, ugh. He was a wastoid. Note to self. Damn, his brother was probably cool. Yeah, but also like, don't you,

once you're 16 though, don't you look at that and go like, that seems kind of dope. That sounds kind of fun. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know how bad it was. Let's also keep in mind, he died. He did. Yeah know. I don't know how bad it was. Let's also keep in mind he died. He did. Yeah.

So I don't know how solid and cool it was before. I don't know. My uncle died. Yeah. For alcoholism. Right. Hero. You know, I thought he fucking radicaled it. Yeah, yeah. I was kind of tight.

Okay. Right. Adam, you're revealing a lot in 2025. New you. This is a cool speech your cousin's kids are going to say. My Uncle Adam rocked. This is cool. Before, you know.

Yeah, before the bad times. Yeah. Holy shit. Well, party on, bro, until you can't party anymore, I suppose. Well, you know, I haven't drank in months. I've been drunk three times in nine months. That's gotta feel pretty good. Doesn't.

I was gonna say, what do you mean? It doesn't. Alright, you don't feel like your body's like... I think on paper it sounds cool. ...firing like faster than... I think I'm skinnier than I've been in a long time. And is it worth it Adam? I have a jawline now.

Do you care? What about your brain? Are you firing faster? No, no. That was like season one of Workaholics. Remember we all like worked out? Like we were writing season one. We were writing it, like getting ready. We were like, oh fuck,

we're about to be filming in six weeks. So we started working out. We're gonna be on television. Get hot. And like just grinding, writing, working out. We all lost weight. We all got pretty good shape. And then I remember coming back for season two and being like, that was not worth it at all. I'm just going to eat a donut a day and who gives a fuck?

There you go. Yeah. I think you, I never really noticed you being as morbidly obese as I got. I remember coming back. Yeah, I'm not comparing myself to you. I'm talking about my experience. Yeah. You were fat. Yeah, well I was.

Yeah, yeah. I think. But I'm just saying like, I remember thinking I should care and then for workaholics being like it didn't do anything for us or for me to be. It didn't make it any funnier yeah well I don't know if are you flexing would have hit as hard if we weren't chiseled at that moment it might have been funnier yeah when we're like are you flexing and you mean the episode muscle I'd like to flex no when we're like are you flexing it's like and it's like no are you

flexing and then like dirt yeah we're pretty jacked in that scene, dude. Yeah, the pectorals were just... But I mean, I can still do that now. I'm just not as shapely. That's true. Well, you're pretty jacked right now, I would say. Something's going on. I don't know what's going on, but something's going on.

Hey, y'all. I'm Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, host of Therapy for Black Girls, and I'm thrilled to invite you to our January Jumpstart series for the third year running. All January, I'll be joined by inspiring guests who will help you kickstart your personal growth with actionable ideas and real conversations. We're talking about topics like building community and creating an inner and outer glow. I always tell people that when you buy a handbag, it doesn't cover a childhood scar. You know, when you buy a jacket, it doesn't reaffirm what you love about the hair you

were told not to love. So when I think about beauty, it's so emotional because it starts to go back into the archives of who we were, how we want to see ourselves and who we know ourselves to be and who we can be. So a little bit of past, present, and future, all in one idea, soothing something from the past. And it doesn't have to be always an insecurity. It could be something that you love.

All to help you start 2025 feeling empowered and ready. Listen to Therapy for Black Girls starting on January 1st on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The forces shaping markets and the economy are often hiding behind a blur of numbers. So that's why we created The Big Take from Bloomberg podcasts, to give you the context you need to make sense of it all. Every day in just 15 minutes, we dive into one global business story that matters.

You'll hear from Bloomberg journalists like Matt Levine. A lot of this boomstack stuff is I think embarrassing to the SEC. Amanda Moll, who writes our Business Week buying power column. Very few companies who go viral are like totally prepared for what that means. And Zoe Tillman, senior legal reporter. Courts are not supposed to decide elections. Courts are not really supposed to play a big role in choosing our elected leaders. It's for the voters to decide.

Love it, baby Give you that to mula, baby. I broke it broke even finally

By the way, I was like, 25 grand, are you the richest person alive? But 25 grand, if I invested it, would be worth, I looked it up the other day, $6.1 million. That's insane.

Whoa, whoa! But you did something at some point, didn't you? No, I did not. Sure didn't? Oh well, there you go. And that's the way the cookie crumbles. You didn't do anything at all. I feel like we've had a conversation where you go, oh, I put some Bitcoin, but it's like it's like a nothing amount.

It's not right. It's not going crazy. Yeah. It's not millions. No, it's barely tens of thousands. Yeah. And it's definitely not what it was then was not nothing. That was yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. How long are you supposed to it's supposed to wait on it before you cash it out. Can you cash it out? You can cash it out whenever my whole thing was I invested in the actual company.
