I have been clocking morning wood now, and it is happening to me. Son, you're two parts Jaeger. You don't want to look like a human cock? Let's go! Two parts Jaeger. You don't want to look like a human cock. Let's go! Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo What up? Oh, this has stopped, right? What's up? This has stopped, people are no longer going, oh.
Starting point is 00:03:26 Remember how that was kind of taking over for a minute? Can I tell you something? Yeah. Haven't we, did we cover this? No, did we? No, it was you talking to me off pod, believe it or not. Oh, it's off pod. Oh, and then I bring it up?
Starting point is 00:03:42 Believe it or not. Yeah. So this works, this works good. It's all? Believe it or not. Yeah. This works. This works good. It's all my seven-year-old does. Oh. Yeah! What?
Starting point is 00:03:51 He walks around the house. He walks around the house going, oh. Oh. And. Give me a hell yeah. My wife doesn't know. I mean, they just look at each other like, what is going on? He doesn't.
Starting point is 00:04:03 No, there's no way he knows at that, at that age. I mean, I don't know. Yeah, his hands aren't in his pockets. He might've heard something. Uh-oh. He has no idea, but he does it constantly. And Blake, you were saying it made its way through your household?
Starting point is 00:04:18 Yes, it travels. It's a, it is a thing amongst the youngsters. The, oh. Wait, so your 11 year old daughter is doing it? Oh, you might have to have a sit down. No, it's not as graphic as you think, but it is. Sound? It is disturbing.
Starting point is 00:04:34 It is disturbing to hear come from a child's mouth. When my mom came to visit and he ripped a couple in front of her. Oh yeah. She looked at me like. It's like that. What? And I was like. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:47 It's more like that, it's like, oh yeah. Yes. Like, oh yeah. Oh yeah. Which is even worse. It's not like, oh. But it's not like a long. Dude, that's way worse.
Starting point is 00:04:59 That's way worse. Perfect. My kid, it's all the above. It's, it's, oh yeah. And then he goes, oh. Oh. This is, this is, this is. And it's like full body.
Starting point is 00:05:10 It's not just out of noise as he walks past. It's a full body situation. So what's so funny about this is, I mean, Blake, your daughter is at the age where in two years she will for sure know what that means. Very shagadelic. They're not sex ed-ed right now. She's in sex ed. So she does know and she does it in front of you? That's lunatic behavior.
Starting point is 00:05:35 That's why I'm saying it's not her going, Shut up. It's like, oh yeah, it's just, what the fucking kids do. They all do it, bro. Yeah, okay, and here I thought it was dead. Kids are so universally programmed now, it's crazy. Like everything's Giat, everything is Ohio. Back in my day. No, it's just like we weren't all on the same brain
Starting point is 00:05:58 wavelength as kids. Yeah, but we kind of were for whatever reason. Dude, you, little boy outside of Chicago, little boy in Omaha, little boy not even anywhere near Oakland, even though he claims it. No. Wow, he's coming out. Little boys all heard the same story about a Maryland
Starting point is 00:06:22 Manson removing a rib and sucking his own dick. We're all in the same wavelength. That is, hmm? Yeah, that's a little bit different. But as far as like, I told you dude. Slang and things that are people throwing around, like you guys weren't saying cats. That's something that I grew up saying cats constantly.
Starting point is 00:06:43 Oh, definitely never said cats. Yeah, I'd say Yeah. And then California fucking beat it out of me. Yeah you're damn right. Now I say dudes way too much. Yeah I'm always saying dudes. I'm always dropping dudes. A casual dude. I'm a dude. But like never said hella I know that's a bae thing. Well yeah now it's everywhere. And what was the Omaha thing you brought to the table? What was it? We have no slang. We have no slang. There's gotta be something. I'm still gonna send it. We say pop You know, that's just a Midwestern thing. Oh, like that when you're talking about when you shoot somebody, right? Yeah Yeah pop that pheasant On my block we said wedded. But you know, like we're saying two weeks in a row, but now it's all the same. Suburban block that I've seen. Very
Starting point is 00:07:32 wedded. I wedded that pheasant. I wedded it. I'm wet. Do you see me wet that pheasant? Oh, I'm wedded. Friendship. Yeah, it feels good, doesn't it? That's insane. But Skibbity toilet is real.
Starting point is 00:07:47 Skibbity toilet. I kinda thought that that had died. No, it's happening in resurgence. Wow. It's happening in children. Is it the thing that it, like once the adults are sort of, you know, because the internet,
Starting point is 00:08:04 things will come and go so quickly but then they'll just get stuck in kid in kiddom yeah and then they'll they'll keep it up for five five to ten years. Yeah I know like that's the other thing is like now coming from the point of view of like a parent is like seeing how long some of this shit has shelf life for it's like I could've swore Ohio was done. It's still thriving. And we've covered this a little bit about like words lasting longer than you thought they would.
Starting point is 00:08:33 Like I can't believe dope is still around. What is Ohio? Go ahead, Blake. I don't even know how to explain Ohio. I even like wormed the Internet to try to find out. But like kids think it's like... Wormed the Internet. Too old. I know this dude's dropping words we don't know about words we've... I even like wormed the internet to try to find out, but like kids think it's like some- Wormed the internet.
Starting point is 00:08:45 I know, this dude's dropping words we don't know about words we don't know about. Yeah, wormed the internet, dude. They think it's like some kind of like mystical- You used to Google, now you worm. Mystical place or something, or it's like haunted. There's just a whole, I remember there being a Lil B song about Ohio.
Starting point is 00:09:00 So in context, how do you use it? I don't even, it just just can go in front of anything. Like Ohio. I put it too. They just say it, they just say it. It's just a thing you just say. They just say it, bro. Ohio skippity toilet.
Starting point is 00:09:14 So they just say like, oh dude, my dad's house is so Ohio? Or Ohio skippity toilet. Uh. Okay. Hey, when you string it all together, I kinda like the brain rot. He's not even lying. It could be like, yo, let's go run to Starbucks
Starting point is 00:09:30 and get some coffee, and someone will be like, Ohio, skip it, you toilet. And you're like, shut the fuck up! Sigma. Confirmation, cool, sigma. Yeah, it's just words that, I think it's like their language, and they know that old fuckers like us
Starting point is 00:09:42 don't understand it, so it's fun to throw around. And that's why they like it so much. Yeah, it just, because it fucking pisses us off. It's like, stop saying all my... The other one we've talked about before is giving. Dude, I was around my niece and her friends, and they were throwing giving around so casually and so just like without missing a step. I'm pissed now!
Starting point is 00:10:06 I'm so excited to tell my fully grown 32 year old wife that so she can stop doing it. Yeah, they're 14, so come on. Yeah, yeah, come on. Just embrace it. You don't wanna be like the 14 year old, come on. Give me an old geezer, bro, chill. Just embrace it.
Starting point is 00:10:24 I don't wanna say anything more before we get into Jeopardy. Okay, okay. Because we just fucking skated right past it last week. Yeah, and I'm sorry about that, Blake, and I'm sorry I slipped on it. You know, I have my excuses, as one does, when not supporting a friend the way they should.
Starting point is 00:10:42 They have their excuses, and sure, yada yada, family. Little baby birthdays, yada yada. Ohio, Skevity toilet, yada yada. Skevity toilet. Mm-hmm, it's all to me. You were so good on the episode. Whoa! You were better than I thought and also even worse
Starting point is 00:11:01 than I thought at the same time. What, whoa! Here and the pendulum swings, here it comes, okay. Was he loving? Worse than I thought at the same time. What? Whoa. Here and the pendulum swings. Here it comes. Okay. You were so confident. Thank you. And I'm like, look at him go.
Starting point is 00:11:12 He's not wilting under the bright lights. Thank you. While doing Jeopardy. Thank you. He's dropping the who is, the what is. You don't think he can handle being under lights? No. Wow, dude.
Starting point is 00:11:24 No, I did seven seasons in a show. I know. Adam, real quick, the first question or first answer that he questioned or whatever, the first one. I should have taken better notes. He blew. It was the one about the anagrams or whatever, where it's like.
Starting point is 00:11:38 Oh, by the way, you're good at those. I couldn't get one of those. I couldn't get any of them. I was like, how are they getting these? Wow, thank you. I was so bad at the enneagram I was it was incredible how anyone could get any of them but I know why he's good because it's internet shit no it's not TTYL oh yeah I guess it is a little bit fuck yeah don't tell me what is and isn't my bad Ohio skippity skippity skippity skippity
Starting point is 00:12:01 but like LMAO or, all that kind of stuff? Great band. You know those. Great band, even worse neighbors. Yeah, okay, sure. I know abbreviations, I guess, or shorthand, internet shorthand. Alliterate, not alliteration, but yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:17 You crushed and I was like, how are they getting these? Yes, I got the very first answer and I think everybody's fucking heart just dropped. They're like, oh shit. You have people shook. But by the way, by the way, Robin Thede, is that her name? Yeah, yes. Okay, way smarter than you guys.
Starting point is 00:12:37 Dude, that's the thing. A truly very smart person. Yeah, like I think they were rolling out her credentials. Didn't she like write speeches with Michelle Obama and then all of a sudden I'm just from like Orange Coast. I think she wrote for the White House. I think she wrote jokes at the White House. Well I went to OCC. Which is just a comedian's gig and yeah. They ain't inviting me bro. I feel if you applied yourself you could go farther. I don't even, I don't think I could.
Starting point is 00:13:06 Okay, this is the low T talking. I think if you started by writing a joke down, that's the start. Yeah! You have to have written a thing down. Yeah, if you write things, then the things become more things, and then people find out you wrote the things.
Starting point is 00:13:21 Okay. But I do like the idea of Blake rolling up to the writers room like this. So I kind of just like, kind of say stuff. But like, if you feel like you could write my vibe down. Vibe me out. So Robin Thede, a fucking crusher, a killer. And in total, I think they say at the end she didn't miss one.
Starting point is 00:13:42 She didn't miss one. Like she batted one thousand losing confidence Yeah, but you she was going way funnier. You were the most charismatic. I like watching you the best I'll say that you weren't the best at the game as the gameplay goes you were maybe the worst yes But no no no no no strategy wise strategy wise. No, strategy wise. Strategy wise. Because, because those first two, you got three daily doubles. I did. The, which by the way, that's a ticket to winning. To winning. Yes. And then you would have went to the quarter finals and Blake nothing would have made me happier for you to advance in celebrity jeopardy. And
Starting point is 00:14:22 then I have to put you on a pedestal as one of my smartest friends. Yes. Right. And now I don't have to do that and that feels better for me. But I kind of wish I could and I would. Yeah. I know it would have changed the complete narrative of our friendship of my trajectory. Yeah. It would have changed everything. It would have instilled some confidence. But he did some work though. He did some work. I did. But the ones you didn't get a personal, they were like almost as if I wrote them for you
Starting point is 00:14:51 and it crushed my soul. I almost thought as I was there, I was like maybe they thought Durs was going to do it and then you didn't and then I took your spot because they were almost geared towards you. Even the final jeopardy. Well did you see the workout one? The fact that you didn't get all of those? What was the workout ones? What's one question from that?
Starting point is 00:15:12 It was called like working it out and it was like an elliptical and there was a high intensity interval tranny. Adam, I knew these things. Do you guys, the buzzer is half the battle. Bro, he's saying your name before the sentence, so you know that it's real. The news flash people in jeopardy, the buzzer. Oh, me too. The buzzer is half the battle. It really is.
Starting point is 00:15:38 Oh yeah, tell me about that. Cause you just gotta get it, get it, get it, like you're doing it. No, you think because, hey man, I grew up playing Tekken. I got fast joystick fingers. Like I'm good there. Cheetah head, dude. I am definitely king.
Starting point is 00:15:50 That is our guy. But the thing is, is when they're asking the question, after Ken has completed the question, the frame around the board lights up. That is your signal to go. If you hit your button before that shit lights up, you actually get locked out for like three seconds. Oh.
Starting point is 00:16:11 So then you're fucked. Then you're fucked. So. You're totally fucked. Fuck it! So you were bad at the, so you're saying Robin was just better at following basic directions or what? No, no, no, no. Sometimes she was just faster.
Starting point is 00:16:26 We have to give her that. She has a lightning thumb. She has a quick wit. She's smart. She's the total package, guys. Okay. I'm saying she was great on the show, yeah. You were funnier. You were funnier. Thank you. And it is a celebrity, you know. Yeah, we're there to entertain.
Starting point is 00:16:42 That's what it's about. Yeah. I think I won the heart of the audience. You won my heart, man. You're a stud up there to entertain. That's what it's about. Yeah. I think I won the heart of the audience. You won my heart, man. You're a stud up there, dude. Thank you, man. I really appreciate that. But with that said, I don't know, because the winner goes on to the next round.
Starting point is 00:16:52 I'm not sure who takes it all home. I would say Robin's gonna do it. Also, I mean, Blake, you can always be like, I'm real busy anyway. I don't have time to be like going back and. Oh, wow. That's life. Yeah, actually. Is that a good look?
Starting point is 00:17:07 You should have dropped that at the end. If I won, if I was just like, yeah, actually, I can't go to the next round. I got to go. It only works if you lose. I like how much you were talking in between, like they're asking questions and before someone can answer, you're spouting off about something. Because in actual Jeopardy, they would have said like, you cannot...
Starting point is 00:17:28 Sir? You're like... Because it would be hard to concentrate if... Because Blake's just saying shit, which is very funny, dude. I was liking it. I was like, this guy's on a roll. He's feeling comfortable. I was intoxicated.
Starting point is 00:17:40 Because you talked more during that episode of television, the game show, where there's questions, there's answers, and you were talking more in between than you have on some live podcast that we've done. I just wanna party. I think he needs the spotlight. Hey, I feel at home on the Jeopardy stage. I kind of felt like sort of an alpha dog there, but I was. You did. Where did they film? Where did they film that? I feel at home on the Jeopardy stage. I kind of felt like sort of an alpha dog there.
Starting point is 00:18:05 But I was- You did. Where did they film? Where did they film that? On the Fox lot. No shit. Yeah. Forgot.
Starting point is 00:18:14 Already forgot. Very cool. Yeah, what's all the blur? Good lot. Good lot. That's a great lot to just walk around and dream about your future. Yeah, it was great.
Starting point is 00:18:21 Was it the Fox lot? I don't think it was the Fox lot, actually. Dude, I remember the first time I was invited on the Fox lot. I met some... Sony. It was after the Montreal Comedy Festival. And they just sort of invite all the new faces to the different studios just to meet them. And I was invited to Fox to meet some executive.
Starting point is 00:18:43 And I was just trying to make conversation but I came off sounding like such an asshole. I was like, dude, I was like, yeah, walked around a little bit. This is, you know, I've been to most of the lots now and I'd say this is my favorite lot. So I'd love to work on this lot. And they're like, okay.
Starting point is 00:19:01 Having been to zero lots, having been to zero lots. No, I think I'd been to like two other lots at this one. This was like, yeah. And they were like cool. Universal Studios. Not invited back for years. Hollywood. Fox, that's the one that has all like the cool like. Hedges.
Starting point is 00:19:17 Yeah, yeah, it has like Napoleon Dynamite statue and then like the big Simpsons mural. Yeah, and the Simpsons mural, yeah. It's pretty cool. We shot to Mon modern family there Durs worked on bones there driving Wow I like my life now. I've done a lot of things that I've wanted to do but being 24 and driving a golf cart around a movie studio lot.
Starting point is 00:19:48 That's ballin'. Nothing to learn. I mean, it doesn't get better. That's fuckin' ballin', bro. That's the top. It was the best. ["Darkest Night of the Year"] What do you got there, Adam?
Starting point is 00:20:04 Oh, don't, feel free to, feel free. Feel free? No, don't feel free to feel free. Feel free. I don't like it. I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean,
Starting point is 00:20:13 I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean,
Starting point is 00:20:21 I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, was very fun. Um, I Did you know Eric the red? I? Did you know Eric the red? I did know it's Eric's Eric's Eric's and but I said I was watching with Chloe last night on the couch And I go I go uh, leave Ericson and she goes what and I'm like, I guess I would have won And I didn't know enough to it dude. I did not own up to it. Yeah that you guys told me the other
Starting point is 00:20:46 Did you know the Ghostbusters? No, I didn't know that to it, dude. I did not own up to it. That you guys told me the other day. Did you know the Ghostbusters? No, I didn't know that one either. No one knew that. You know the Ghostbusters? I did, but in that moment, I was trying to think of something funny to write down. So I was really, really cranking to... Well, just win the game. I couldn't.
Starting point is 00:21:02 I was mathematically eliminated. If I could take anything back, I would have done the math to where when I lost, I finished with $420. But math, basic math. I thought of that after and I would have to do math. Or $69, dude. Yeah, $69 would have been sick. Perfect.
Starting point is 00:21:20 So, Blake, the fact that your gameplay was so bad, and I don't mean to dunk on you because we just got down high for you up in St. Augustine. No, it was. He went big. But the fact that on the first daily double, when she was already W, so it looks like she's running away with it, and she is playing her cards correctly,
Starting point is 00:21:39 she knows what she's doing, she's not gonna just bet it all on a whim. Why didn't you then try to catch up? Well, he tried after. He tried later. I'm a dumbass. I tried later. He doubled. At the very last one, he got three daily doubles and on the last one he finally tried. And that was on the hardest question. I believe that was on like a 1500 point question. Yes. You could have done that. He's playing checkers, not chess. Come on. Look, look, the checkers not chess come on look look the Second daily double I got was like the category was like two things or whatever and it it could it was so wide open that
Starting point is 00:22:13 I was gonna throw up Dude the first one was such a layup question. I'm very easy. It was the food fighters in their body Yeah, that's the one. Yes. That was my lane right there, but again in preparation for the show I like studied you know I watched episodes but I never truly like thought about the strategy of the Daily Doubles and that was a huge error in my game so every time it happened I panicked. Blake I think that's that's the only part of the game. That's the only part of the game I know. Yeah I wouldn't that's the only part of the game. That's the only part of the game. I know. You know what though?
Starting point is 00:22:46 I wouldn't strategize either. I would just go, I would go big. Cause it's funny. Just go all in. Yeah. But even 10,000 board games. The one thousand kids and they think I'm crazy. They're like, what are you doing?
Starting point is 00:22:58 You're an idiot. And I go, no guts, no glory. And I usually lose, but when I do win, they're like, my dad is my hero. Yeah, well, I did eventually do it at the end, and it destroyed me. It made me lose the game. But by the way, second place, you also lost.
Starting point is 00:23:19 So betting a thousand, I was like, what kind of? I don't know. And then you said you don't have confidence in yourself, and then all I thought was your T-count and that... I know. He's doing a bet. It was almost like it was scripted. It was a really wonderful episode of Jeopardy.
Starting point is 00:23:35 I was just like, this guy's low T, he can't even bet on a game show. That means nothing. You're not keeping this money at all. No, no. It's going to the turtle. It's going to go to the turtles. Turtle power. I loved your joke about you saying that you owe
Starting point is 00:23:49 the turtles money now. Turtle. Yeah, thank you. Thank you. It was a blast. I had a great time. Even though that's the whole concept is that you do give money as opposed to like, the turtles are going to have to pay you now. Anyway, I'm not going to get into like the nuance
Starting point is 00:24:04 of how the joke should work. Listen, here's one thing guys. Have you noticed that now there is a trivia Jeopardy where there's three players and the host is Colin Jost. Do you guys maybe wanna go on that with me? Be a little. What is this? It's called like, it's not trivia Jeopardy.
Starting point is 00:24:22 Geo party? It's no, it's still Jeopardy, but it's like trivia Jeopardy. Geo-party? No, it's still Jeopardy, but it's um, like trivia Jeopardy. What is trivia Jeopardy? Not trivia Jeopardy. Wow, you're nailing this. But, uh, no, I don't want to do that. Hold on. Also, the producers?
Starting point is 00:24:35 Let's pick my man up, Corey Falls. I don't want to do that. Uh, like, pop culture? It's called pop culture. Yes. So it's Jeopardy presents pop culture? Yes, yes. So it's Jeopardy presents pop culture?
Starting point is 00:24:43 So it's Jeopardy presents pop culture? So it's Jeopardy presents pop culture? So it's Jeopardy presents pop culture? So it's Jeopardy presents pop culture? So it's Jeopardy presents pop culture? So it's Uh, Blake, pop culture? It's called pop culture. So it's Jeopardy Presents Pop Culture? Yes, yes. It's pop culture, Jeopardy, and you get teams of three. But it's the same format. I might be able to do
Starting point is 00:24:58 pop culture. That could be cool. Let's do it. Hosted by Colin Jost? Yes. Blake, so we've established that you are the lowest T member of TI Nation. I.I. No T for me. Do you, when and how are we going to set up you getting testosterone treatment?
Starting point is 00:25:22 Yeah. I mean, so that's an option, right? I don't like, I don't really, I don't really want to. That's my, I'm not sure I want to, I don't really want to change my body chemistry. I'm not like, there's nothing that feels wrong. I don't want to change my body chemistry coming from Mr. 24 Budweiser. I don't want to change my body chemistry coming from mr. 24 Budweiser Yeah, Blake you change your body chemistry constantly you're always changing it
Starting point is 00:25:58 On the day yeah, that's it that seems a little Son you're two parts Jaeger, There's no repercussions to that. This, with taking precautions... It sounds like there might be one. I don't know, I really don't know that I want to take tea. I don't know that I want to do that. And do we think that this is the low tea talking? Like, those that suffer from low tea don't even... It's like when someone's really stupid
Starting point is 00:26:25 and they don't know that they're stupid. I feel we're all the level of stupid that we know we're stupid in some ways. We're aware. In a lot of ways. It's good to know. It's important to know you're stupid. It's good to know.
Starting point is 00:26:37 Maybe you're so low T that you don't even realize that how much better life is when you have more T. Well, now that you- And we're talking testosterone, obviously. Yes, yes, yes, yes. And now that you guys mentioned it, I have been clocking morning wood now. And it is happening to me.
Starting point is 00:26:55 I am so sorry this has been a thing for you, a cross for you to bear. No, I mean- Because I haven't thought about it at all. I haven't been like, it hasn't been. Well, you're not being DMed constantly. When you watched him on Jeopardy and he did not have the confidence during the first Daily Double when he's down by half to make a larger bet.
Starting point is 00:27:16 No, it's inescapable. Cheers. Of course. He says I don't have the confidence. I'm talking about for myself, having maybe the most tea. Anders, it's constantly being parroted back to me. It's been the source of conversation for the last three weeks. Of course it's on my mind. Now, have people taken you aside and has your mom been like, hey, honey, you know that you're
Starting point is 00:27:39 perfect the way you are? Like did your girl, did Sam wish you this? Like, hey, don't let those guys get you down yeah no enough T for me are the DMs getting flooded with insults and adding insult to injury again it's not to me it's not an insult I stand by this I don't let T define me I like who I am you know my question is are they sliding the DMs and are trying to kick you when you're quote-unquote down which he is, are they sliding the DMs and are they trying to kick you when you're quote unquote down? Which he is.
Starting point is 00:28:06 Because if they are, hey, you guys are fucking losers. You don't even know your tea. Go take your tea. I bet it's fucking low. I bet you have no fucking tea. Adam. My boy is being nice. I know.
Starting point is 00:28:16 There are lots of... I know. Thank you for sticking up for me, giant tea man. But also like, get a life. Not us. We have lives. We go around the country testing our testosterone And bringing it up in front of professional athletes Yeah, no, I mean there's plenty of people who who won't drop it
Starting point is 00:28:37 But I mean it's it's the it's the bit that is keeps on bitten and I like it We are having fun with it, but there's also very nice people who are, you know, justifying that it's not that low. I bet low T Nation, all the low T friends and family of the podcast, they've come out, they support you, they are crocheting you blankets to keep warm. I love you guys. A lot of crocheted blankets. Because I'm sure you shiver.
Starting point is 00:29:04 Would like a, would a leaked dick pic help your cosplay? I think a, yeah, just a straight up freaking sex tape, bro. What if I fucking drop it? Cool. Oh shit. Even better. Save it. Save it.
Starting point is 00:29:20 Save it for the pod. Live on the pod? Save your sex tape for the pod. That's kind of tight. Obvi. So Blake, because we have an offer on the table. Ders and I are willing to pay. I don't know how much it is.
Starting point is 00:29:33 I don't know. But whatever it is, we're willing to pay. Okey dokey. And we're hoping a sponsor covers it also. We are also hoping a sponsor reaches out and covers a lot of it. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:29:44 Would you do new genics? Was that what Doug Flutie was pushing? Yep. The sponsor reaches out and covers a lot of it. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. Would you do new genetics? Was that what Doug Flutie was pushing? Yup. Doug Flutie pushes and Frank Thomas, he pushes new genetics. And by the way, he looks great. And also he's a slight man like you. Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:56 Well, I'm not. And I'll tell you what, she'll like it too. Okay. That's what they always say. Alrighty then. That's what they always say. I don't know what it means. I don't know. I really, again, they always say. Alrighty then. That's what they always say. I don't know what it means.
Starting point is 00:30:06 I don't know. I really, again, there's nothing, I don't feel low energy. You look great. You're glowing. Thanks. I'll be honest. You look high-teeth. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:30:18 Honestly, if I'm being 100%... Uh-huh. Keep it 100. We always joke that you are the lowest D, and it's went back. People like dug in the crates and found like old episodes where we're talking about how you're like not horny enough. The one where we're... By the way, people get a fucking life.
Starting point is 00:30:34 Digging in the crates to kick my man? Yeah, I liked it though. But thank you. I'm glad that's your life. That's mid-D. That's mid-D. That's life! It's funny. It's funny. It's funny. Yeah, it's funny. It's funny It is funny. Yeah, so we've we've had this, you know established So we all we everyone picked Blake is having the low tea yada yada, but I was a little worried. It was gonna be me
Starting point is 00:30:55 I'm on a lot of medicine. I'm like, maybe that affects the tea. I don't know. I've been kind of out of it the last couple years Health wise I'm like your boy might have lost some teeth Yeah, it's but then it was also brought to our attention that you probably have of it the last couple years. Health wise, I'm like, your boy might have lost some T's. It's possible. But then it was also brought to our attention that you probably have, because of the medications that you're on, that your T's probably been boosted. I don't think this is, I mean I'm on muscle relaxers and painkillers. I don't know. The stem cells. Dude, that was my nickname in high school. Painkiller.
Starting point is 00:31:21 Oh, that's fucking cool. And I got arguably the highest T in the crew now. Whoever gave you that. Yes, points. That's for whoever gave you that nickname. I mean, dude, being roughly three years older than you guys, give or take 10 years, I was also like, I probably have the lowest T, arguably the highest.
Starting point is 00:31:39 So we were all doubting our T levels. Yeah, but you guys also did it earlier in the morning, and I did it later in the afternoon, which is- Which they said should have boosted your T levels? No, earliest is when your T is the highest, okay? I wouldn't know, never cared to look it up, didn't need to defend myself at all. Well, I have my back against the wall
Starting point is 00:32:01 and the castle is under attack, right? It's science. So that sucks, so you're not willing to entertain- against the wall and the castle is under attack. Right? So... It's science. So that sucks. So you're not willing to entertain... I am willing to entertain it. I will have to look into it a little more. I don't want to turn into like some kind of like raged out fucking red veiny.
Starting point is 00:32:19 I like me. You don't want to look like a human cock. Yes. I don't. I like who I am. Could be worse. Could be worse. Could be worse. You don't want to look like a human cock. You don't want to look like a human cock. I like who I am. Could be worse. It could be.
Starting point is 00:32:27 Could be worse. But no, I understand what you're saying. Like those old guys who take it, roughly Anders' age, and they take it, and then they suddenly they look red to the touch. You know what I mean? You don't want that. You don't want that. And I don't want that for you.
Starting point is 00:32:44 Red to the touch. Yeah, and I- You mean like, what does red to the touch mean? It's a phrase, and I don't think I'm using it correctly. It's like when you touch your skin and it's red, and then you touch it. It's already red, or it's red after the touch? It's already red, and then you touch it,
Starting point is 00:32:59 and you see like the whiteness under the skin. You know what I mean? Yeah. Right, like a sunburn. The blood is, yeah, too closer to the surface. It's right there. It's ready to escape. I don't know if I like that, Frish.
Starting point is 00:33:09 Yeah, it should be white to the touch. Why don't you turn blue? Right, because from the touch. Yeah, well, yeah. I'm glad we got into there. Me too. It should be white to the touch. But it seems racist, so it's red to the touch.
Starting point is 00:33:22 Arguably more racist. Go ahead. Could be racist, yeah. Maybe, possibly. Yeah? to touch. Arguably more racist. Go ahead. Could be racist, yeah. Maybe, possibly. Yeah? Right. Now that we dug deep. Well, hey, okay.
Starting point is 00:33:30 Can I pivot a little bit since we were talking? Have you guys ever watched Tom? Look at this guy taking charge, all right! Guys, I went down. Hit him with the applause button, Blake. Hit us with the applause button. I don't have an applause button. You had him telling you what to do now.
Starting point is 00:33:44 Fucking thing sucks! I don't have an applause button. Fucking thing sucks! I don't have that. I stayed up until 1 o'clock last night watching this episode. Nobody tells you to go to sleep! Episode after episode after episode of My Men. Have you guys ever tuned into Beast Games, the Mr. Beast show?
Starting point is 00:34:05 No. And I hate that I'm not proud to be promoting this because I don't know much about Mr. Beast. I think he's fun. I think he's a good guy. He like cures people's blindness and stuff. You got to watch the show, dude. It's fucking really good. And even when it's not good, it's like bad good.
Starting point is 00:34:23 So it's just a- Double whammy. I watched, I think I watched like a episode and they're kind of just trying to do squid games, but real. Yes, it starts with like a thousand people. But wasn't Beast Games, wasn't there a Beast Games that The Rock hosted? That was-
Starting point is 00:34:39 That was Titan, Titan Games. Yes. Well, wait, with Swartzent, oh, not Swartzent, Sly Sloan, am I crazy? Okay, whatever, Beast, Mr. Beast Games, Mr games. Yes. Well, wait, with Swartzing, oh, not Swartzing, Slice Alone? Am I crazy? OK, whatever. Mr. Beast Games, Mr. Beast Games. Yes.
Starting point is 00:34:48 I'm saying, like, jump in. Watch episode one and see if you're hooked. On Netflix or what? I think it's on Amazon. Ooh, the user interface I don't really love, so. I think it is on Netflix. Maybe I'm wrong. But Prime, it's on Prime.
Starting point is 00:35:03 No, they're saying Prime. They're saying Prime. Prime, Prime, Prime, Prime, Prime, Prime, Prime's on Prime. No, they're saying Prime. They're saying Prime. Prime, Prime, Prime, Prime, Prime, Prime, Prime. Yeah, worth checking out. Dude, check it out. It's crazy. I couldn't get enough. I'm listening to this audio book because I'm an angel.
Starting point is 00:35:16 Oh, hell yeah. Okie dokie. But it's all about these... These... Knock it, grandma! I'm so bad with pills. I was never a pillhead or anything. So what are the pills? I get it that they come in bars annex. So these and he's like Adam feels so bad for not being a pill head He's like, I know I should sorry. I wish I was a pill head
Starting point is 00:35:39 He really wanted a pill thing. I wish I had a you talking Z, bruh? Yeah, Zanny. That's why we need Kyle here. That's why we need Kyle. He's the popper. Yeah, Zanny, Zanny, bruh. I don't know if he was. No, not really. Go ahead, Zanny. All right, go ahead, Zanny.
Starting point is 00:35:53 I think he did Percocet. So Zannex. Yeah, Zanny Bar. These Zannex dealers in Charleston, and they were, it's called Among the Bros. It's sick, dude. These kids were like 18, 19, 20, and they built like an empire. They were all millionaires. College frat bros out of the College of Charleston
Starting point is 00:36:10 in like 2014, 15, 16, and 17, I think. And one of the guys, one of the, I think essentially kind of a snitch, was, went by the nickname Ders. I'm a dude. And I'm like, oh, for sure, dude. For sure that kid was just a fan of the show. He did it. Our friends was. He did it.
Starting point is 00:36:33 And they're like. Hey, release the Ders. Yeah. Yeah, free him from prison. Yeah. Gotta love that. Please. And I just, I thought that was so funny.
Starting point is 00:36:41 I'm like, oh yeah, for sure these kids were building their drug empire while watching our dumbass show. Workaholics in the background. Can producers pull that up at all? I mean, I imagine his last name was Anderson or... Dirkowitz? I don't know. Say it!
Starting point is 00:36:56 Or Dirkowitz. I'm assuming he was probably just a straight edge guy. By the way, the Charleston look is very much an Anders Holm look. You know what I mean? Yeah, absolutely. Or an Anders Holmvik look more. Holmvik look, yeah, yeah, yeah. The khakis and the boat shoes
Starting point is 00:37:13 and the tucked in pastels. Absolutely. What was it, Brooks Brothers? It's intense. Brooks Brothers, rest in peace. What, it's dead? It's gone. Oh wow, that was the end of an era for you.
Starting point is 00:37:25 Yeah. That's crazy. Everyone there, and I love Charleston, it's awesome. And I'm saying everyone, and that obviously isn't the case, but, because there's a very cool part of Charleston with very cool people, but the normal aesthetic is either you look like you're about to go golfing, you're about to go on a yacht,
Starting point is 00:37:45 or you just got done fishing. That's it. Very shaggy. I think that would cover 80% of people that are in Charleston. Those are the style. It's a look. Yeah, the short khaki shorts and tucked in pastel polo look for fraternity dudes
Starting point is 00:38:03 when there's a pack of them all together is intense. Yeah, what is it? Oh, yeah, we saw a lot of that in, um, in New Orleans, I felt. We saw a lot of that. Just this week? Uh-huh. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You see those frat bros up there on the balcony?
Starting point is 00:38:18 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Is that, like, you're ready for anything? Like, golfing or, like, a casual event? I think it just is, like identity of like, I come from money or at least I want to look like it. And I remember when I was in college wanting to look older. Right. Cause you're like trying to look 21.
Starting point is 00:38:36 So you're trying to look a little bit older. So you're wearing like, I mean, we thought they were like dad shoes to like boat shoes. That's like a dad move in my mind back in the day. Like a like Sperry. are they called Sperry? Yeah, or like Bass. My dad rocked Bass's. His feet were all fucked up.
Starting point is 00:38:51 What's a Bass? Bass is a company. I gotta check out Bass. Yeah, but I feel like high school kids and college kids, they just dress how their friends dress. And weirdly in the South, You said South. Like,
Starting point is 00:39:03 Gotcha, bitch! You said South. Like, Gotcha bitch! You said South though! They dress like how their dads dress. Right. You know what I mean? Their dads dress this way and so they're like, I'm gonna dress that way too. With the shades on like the croquis and stuff,
Starting point is 00:39:17 I love that shit. We would dress similar, but if you had a thing that someone else had in your friend group, like if they had a first, you couldn't in your friend group, like you, if they had it first, you just, you couldn't wear it when you were all out together. That was just kind of a code. I remember a homie of mine had a pair of 1300 New Balances and I was like, where'd you get
Starting point is 00:39:35 those? And he's like, well, are you going to get them? And I go, I'm going to get them and I'm not going to wear them until I go back to college. Common courtesy. But I need to know where you got them. That's cool. So you just kept them in the box? Kept them in the box and then when I got to school I broke them out. I didn't realize... I thought you only became a shoe dork when you... that's what you call them right? When you started to make money.
Starting point is 00:40:00 But you've always... I've always been a shoe dork. I just didn't have money. But I think the real floodgates opened when Warcoholics happened, and Adidas was like, hey, do you want to come to the showroom a couple times a year? Whatever. They don't do that for me anymore. Damn it. The fact that you had that plug, I didn't.
Starting point is 00:40:21 I never got it. It's because you guys, I think you guys could have gone, but also my character also I did my character I did yeah my actor wore a detail on the show. Oh, that's right. That's right That's like I wore the track tops so our costume guy Jerry was like I'll set you up and they've been good to me ever since Lucky but anyway, yeah, I was always like very specific You know, but like yeah, then you get some money and you get a little carried away. But the matching, the matching was like a deal breaker.
Starting point is 00:40:52 I remember a homie of mine in college got the same shoes as me and I was like, what are you doing? Yeah. He's like, what? I go, no, not OK. Yet. I mean, to me, that doesn't I don't care at all about that. Unless like, suddenly... We would rock like LRG all the same clothes, because we were all getting LRG, and we would walk out the door in the same exact shirt, and you'd be like, cool dude, we match.
Starting point is 00:41:15 Dude, I like it. I'm like, oh sick. Adam wants a team uniform. Going out with a bunch of dudes in a specific thing on purpose is always a good time. Wee-oo. Oh yeah, hey man. I like it accidental same shirt.
Starting point is 00:41:29 No, no, no, no. I don't mind it. I mean, don't get me, me and my bros, we're all. I love when you look across the room and you're- But you just said accidental. You just said accidental. No, yeah. I don't mind being like, whoa, but when it's like,
Starting point is 00:41:40 hey, check these out, I got them. We're all wearing our NWO shirts today. Yeah, I understand that, come on. But even a run-in, even a run-in, where you link up with somebody, they got the same thing, you go, well, look at us. But when there's an intentional like, hey, I got the thing that you got.
Starting point is 00:41:56 When we're going to the MTV Movie Awards and you switch shirts to match me, did I? What? No, but that would be cool. But I thought me and Adam had like similar windbreakers somewhere and they were like, did you guys do that on purpose? And we're like, we did not. And I was fuming. No, I think that I think that was the like guys choice awards. Remember that? You know that? The best guy I've ever seen. We've got to bring those back. Come on, Trump.
Starting point is 00:42:26 Bring them back. I think they go on and they just don't invite us. I don't know. No, Spike doesn't exist. Spike is gone. RIP Spike, the greatest network of our time.
Starting point is 00:42:36 What have I been watching? I don't know, brother. I guess I've been watching old... I got like a recording of Spike I kept. Because I knew it would go away someday. I was like, I gotta record some hours of this. I feel like the best thing about Trump being president again is... Here we go. I bet Spike is just...
Starting point is 00:42:55 Here's your segment. Here we go. Who cares? I bet Spike's gonna come back. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh yeah. And you know what else? I bet there, you know like the guy who has the rights to Spike TV? He's just in the wings being like, alright, fucking any day now.
Starting point is 00:43:09 What's up big dog? What's up? I've got a proposition for you. Let's bring it back. Big channel for dudes that like movies. Wasn't that their thing? Yeah, that's what I watched in prison. Movies for guys who like movies. That was TNT. Yeah. No.
Starting point is 00:43:24 Yes, that was TNT. Movies for guys that like movies? Oh really TNT. Yeah. No. Yeah. Yes, that was TNT. Movies for guys who like movies? Oh, really? What was Spike's thing? Wasn't it just like... Like, whip your cock out. Ah.
Starting point is 00:43:32 Oh, is that what you heard? Yeah. Pull back. Interesting. I don't think Spike had a sane. I think it was just like fucking Geikons. Of course it had something. Yeah, every cable channel needed a thing, a little stank.
Starting point is 00:43:46 Yeah, we know drama. ["Dramatic Music"] Wait, Blake, what's this Mr. Beast show? Is this American Gladiators? Is this like, is this like whiplash, or not whiplash, what do they call it? Swipe out? Is this wipe out? What are we talking about here? It's not super physical actually it's a lot of like group decision making on who gets voted out.
Starting point is 00:44:14 I am so out. No dude you have to watch it because everybody on the show is fucking crazy and there's a thousand people and no one is seems to be saying I don't enjoy those things. No I think you would you gotta give it a shot. Okay. You gotta give it a shot. But if I don't like it I'm coming for you. Okay but you also have to watch it as in like it's just like crazy to watch the human interaction these people are so... Don't tell me I'll just watch it I'll just watch it just let me watch it how I I'm gonna I'm gonna take it. I'll just watch it. Just let me watch it how I'm gonna take it in. I bet Ders is not gonna like it.
Starting point is 00:44:47 I've watched two episodes of it, and if I, cause you know how Ders. I know how he is, I know. Yeah, you know how he could be. Goodbye. And this doesn't seem like a thing he would like. Here, let me just, I'll take my headphones off, you guys talk about how I am about.
Starting point is 00:45:02 Just allow yourself to have some fun. Allow yourself to just kind of, you know, just watch it. Don't analyze it. Don't break it down. Yeah, just watch it. I'll just say this. I'm not a huge fan of like strategy shows. I'm not a strategy person. I'm not strategic.
Starting point is 00:45:18 We've covered this about Jeopardy. I would go big for the fuck of it. So watching like when I go to those lock-in rooms, what are they called, where you get lock-in rooms? Yeah, escape room. I just sit down and I watch everyone go crazy and I go, you guys figure it out. I don't care, let's just get out.
Starting point is 00:45:36 Let's just get out. You guys sort it out. Well then you'll never get out. You gotta help. No, they figure it out, they figure it out. Wow. Well then in that case, now I'll be very curious if you even fuck with the show a little bit. Because I thought it was, it's just very of the time, very just interesting.
Starting point is 00:45:55 And you never, you kind of never know what's going to happen. But also Mr. Beast is such an interesting dude. Okay, now I see what's happening here. You like Mr. Beast. All six-five of them? Dude, I know so little about him. I know so little about him. I know exactly what you're talking about because weirdly the other day, and I don't know why,
Starting point is 00:46:17 because I watched those two episodes like a month ago or whenever this show first came out. It's been a while now. Yeah, it's been a while. Been a while. And just the other day I was like, I never on YouTube, like ever. I never go to YouTube, I never watch YouTube videos. It's just not a platform that I even look at every day.
Starting point is 00:46:38 So I went there and I'm like, what is MrBeast about? I just learned that he's going to be a billionaire. I think he has. And he's 26 years old and you're like holy shit like what is this kid doing and I go and all of it is like huge production and I saw this interview where he was saying last year I was on a plane 200 days out of the year and I'm grinding so hard because no one else will and I'm'm like, okay, you're like killing yourself for fucking
Starting point is 00:47:06 YouTube. All righty. But I mean, he's making a fortune and he's young and good for him and he could quit when he's 30 and be done. I like how you're like, he can quit now. Totally, totally. He can quit five years ago. Yeah, but you know what I mean? I'm like, he's making so much money at such a young
Starting point is 00:47:21 age like you have, you don't have a family you can just go Yeah, but once you hit eight hundred million dollars at 24 you can go. Yeah, I don't think he's there yet I think his I looked it up his net worth right now is 500 million, but they're saying oh he's a fucking loser Yeah, he's a total loser. Yeah, he hasn't made a billion yet. That's life, but Loaty so I was like what did he start out at? So I went to his YouTube, I scrolled all the way down to his first videos, and it was just him playing like Fortnite and shit, and just talking and talking over it. He was just like a twitcher. That's a lot of these guys start. It's crazy. Yeah. And then he
Starting point is 00:48:00 would post all the time, and then he started, you could tell he's obsessed about the monetization of, you could tell I had a hard time saying that word, monetization of YouTube because he was talking about what other YouTubers make based on what he makes in comparison which was like, I made $13 this month on YouTube. He's just a numbers creature.
Starting point is 00:48:24 Now that, well that's exactly, that is actually what the show is about. It's just a numbers crusher. Right, and now that you, well that's exactly, that is actually what the show is about. It's just kind of like, everything is like, we're giving away five million dollars. It's the most amount of money that's ever been given away and you're presented with times when you can betray people for money. So it's all based on just what people will do for money.
Starting point is 00:48:43 Yikes, I'm still gonna watch it. It's weird. It's fucking wild, dude. I like it. It's kind of cringe, it's kind of cool. And it keeps you on the hook. Ah. Cringe.
Starting point is 00:48:57 Oh, skippity toilet, Ohio. I remember seeing an interview where he was like trying to get his shows translated into as many languages as possible Because like then his reach is that much further? He's like, you know, I pay this person X amount of dollars per year but then I'm seeing like 10,000 X of what I pay them as opposed to what I make for getting like all these people in the Philippines to watch my Shows now and I was like, yeah, bud
Starting point is 00:49:25 For him I wish I wish we had one guy in our court that all these people in the Philippines to watch my shows now. And I was like, yeah, bud. I'm still gonna send it. Good for him. I wish we had one guy in our core that could even think that way. It's Kai's dude, he's crazy. Isaac is who knows where he's at. I'm listening. Is it real? Did you guys talk about Blake's low T yet?
Starting point is 00:49:43 Yeah. Yeah, we did. We covered that. Covered it. Punk rock yet? Yeah. Yeah, we did. We covered that. Covered it. Punk rock, getting radical. Yeah. Yeah, we covered it. No, I mean, it is its own skillset that I applaud,
Starting point is 00:49:51 but I'm also like, to what, and I love the work he does outside of it, where he's like, hey, I went to so-and-so, and like all these blind people showed up, and I got them eye surgery, and now they can see that shit's unreal. Yeah, it's wild. But also he has, he's like doesn't really have a personality.
Starting point is 00:50:11 He's just like always smiling. It's like, it's weird, dude. It's like the Joker has a fucking game. It's weird. You know the Joker's got a personality. Yeah. Yeah, he's not like the most like super, he's not like a super charismatic guy. It's not like he's like wanted to be a host and then figured out a way to do it online. It just, yeah, it's, it is strange. But have you ever watched his show?
Starting point is 00:50:36 I have not. I've watched them, the like reality show stuff where it's like, okay, we're in here and they said the house was haunted. We're going to find out. And it's like super vanilla, perfect for like an eight-year-old to watch 20 episodes in a row of, and you're good to go.
Starting point is 00:50:51 And that's kind of his whole thing is he's got that kind of like good clean, whatever that all the kids are watching. But also like the games that they came up with, I don't know who came up with the games, if it was him and his team. Like some of the games, they're games, they're just really good. They're good puzzles.
Starting point is 00:51:07 Imagine you had $500 million and you were giving away five. You hire people to come up with these games, Blake. That's television production. You hire the best production team. Well, whoever they are, they're good. They are good. I mean, I think that's the whole idea. The games are good.
Starting point is 00:51:22 Yeah. You gotta watch it, bro. The worst part about watching this show is just thinking of all the seven-year-olds who are watching it going, oh, yeah, Mr. Beast. Oh. Beast Burger. Oh, my feastables.
Starting point is 00:51:39 Oh, my feastable feastable. Oh. Dude, I love being the frickin' dad. Oh, my beastable feastable. Dude, I love being the frickin' dad. That was good. Well, any take backs, any apologies, any epic slams here, boys? It seems like Blake's already done an epic slam saying he has no personality. Don't get on Mr. B's. Dude, he's a...
Starting point is 00:52:07 I know what you mean though. He's an interesting man. I know what you mean. I can't figure him out. I want to figure him out, baby. You want to know his takes. What are his takes? Or maybe I just want to leave him be.
Starting point is 00:52:19 I don't know. Maybe it's better that way. Well, yeah. No, you're right. It's like these internet people that that's where they live. That's their lane. And like a lot of them, they seem like they're treading. And I don't know Mr. Beast that well,
Starting point is 00:52:34 so I don't know if he does this, but they're treading, they're treading other people's material. Like all the internet comedians that do like little sketches, you're like, oh, that's someone's joke that you turn into a sketch. And you're just treading over old material. But these little kids that are watching have no idea. So they're just like, yeah. And I don't know if they're doing that on purpose
Starting point is 00:52:58 or they just like are one of those people that aren't funny themselves. So they just... It's a lot of that. It's a lot of that. It's almost like repeating like a movie quote. You know when someone's too good at repeating movie quotes and you're like, okay, well you don't have anything original and funny to say yourself. Like it's okay to know some movie quotes, obviously, but this is being on any sports team.
Starting point is 00:53:20 Totally. It's you just hanging out with a bunch of guys who are quoting movies. It's the best. It's the best. It's the best. I'm looking for unsuspecting people to beat up. Yeah. Well, no, in New Orleans, Blake and I talked to some guy. I'm not going to get specific.
Starting point is 00:53:34 But what was interesting was that like he was he was like, I have 90 million followers or something absurd on TikTok. Damn. And he's like, but I can't take a day off, man. I've been doing this for like a decade and I can't take a day off. And I'm like, yes, you can. Nobody like you can. You can take a day off. That's the crazy thing about like, let's say old media versus new media.
Starting point is 00:53:54 Like we can take a moment off on like projects and like come back and pop up in something. No one cares. People go, whoa, oh, shit, my guy, he's back. No one goes. I haven't seen him in six months. No fucking way I'm gonna watch this. Dead to me. It's very strange.
Starting point is 00:54:10 Yeah, you gotta keep feeding the algorithm so it keeps pushing people to you. Yeah, that's how you get a lot of followers. That's the new game. That's the new game. Content is king. It is much grosser. But, and by the way, I've had it,
Starting point is 00:54:24 and I wonder if they were fans. I think of the podcast. Multiple people at the Super Bowl said, I love your content. And I don't know because I've said how much I hate that. I said how much I hate that on the podcast. But we've done a lot of these podcasts. Yeah, I think sometimes it's tongue in cheek. And I don't know if they, sometimes it's tongue in cheek and other times they like the person that's
Starting point is 00:54:47 saying it to me. I'm like, you're being sincere. And I hate that. I love your content. If they're young enough to, that's what they're saying. I'm an artist. Yeah. I'm an artist. And it, and it covers the whole game, like across the board, all your shows, your podcasts, your movies, your content. Well, I love all our content we do together, guys. Thank you for your content with our content.
Starting point is 00:55:17 My burglary alarm. Burglary keeps going off. I have to go. That's not good. Yeah, I have to go. Okay. Well, thataps going off. I have to go. Well that's not good. Yeah, I have to go. Okay, well, alright. This was another episode of This Is Important! We're back!
