Welcome to This Is Important, a production of iHeartRadio, the show where we only talk about what's obviously most crucially integral to the fabric of our very nature. Today we talk about... Your career is over if a piece of dookie falls out of your shorts.

Sometimes you gotta do the dishes. Edging fucking rocks. And then your way of solving it was to spike a pizza slice up my ass. Here we go. Oh, good. Oh, good, you still have the Popo Zao button. Very good. That's great. Gentlemen, gentlemen, how are we, gentlemen? Good? Never losing that, baby. Doing good. Popo Zao. Popo Zao. Popo Zao!

That's never going anywhere. I just posted a Popo's How clip on the old Instagram. There you go. Did it go viral? Dude, I was doing a guerrilla marketing campaign for my movie that I no longer can talk about. Yeah, no talking about? No talking about it. No talking about movies, but...

No. I did just make a movie and I'm not going to name it. It's on a big streaming service that I cannot name. Fuck it. But I was doing, I was saying like this person is not in the movie. Oh.

And then posting like Kevin Federline. I posted a Britney Spears of her dancing. And then also one of Jared Leto. That guy, has he lost his fucking mind, dude? Have you watched those? Oh, dude. I don't know, man. Lost his mind? He never had a damn mind. Yeah, man. He's out of his mind. Yeah. I mean, and he has so much money. So he has like.

enough money to dress like a vampire bro he's cool i feel like in order to really pull off the vampire look you have to have a ton of money yeah yeah you do vampires are loaded dude the broke vampire is such a bad look yeah you have to you gotta have money for the authenticity for sure it's true yeah the authenticity of a vampire dump where you get looked at twice where people go is is he really a vampire that guy might be really a vampire is that a vampire dude jared leto's on some other shit i

I tell you what Dude did you see the video of Jared Leto Where he like climbed up the outside Of the of whatever hotel He was staying at and just like fucking Stood there like three stories up And was like I just did that

I don't know if I saw that one, man. Wait, I... That's cool that you subscribe to his YouTube channel, or how are you so abreast? I must be getting some... I must be deep in the Leto algorithm or something. Like, it's just fucking... Oh, I have no doubt. Dude, I feel like me and Kyle have a very similar algo, because we tend to see the same thing. Well, I dig Jared Leto. Not. I just see women falling down cliffs. What? Leto fell down a cliff?

No, I just see like, it's like if I go in discoveries, it's all just like overweight women falling down cliffs or like trying to swing into a ravine and like falling. Oh, you're fail. You're in the fail. Why don't you cry about your fail army? Your classic fat fail. Yeah. Just when I'm having a bad day, I just need to see like contusions and like, you know, compound fractures. And I'm like, man, life's so

Well, why are they all fat, Ders? Because I also get a lot of fails, but I mean, they're of all shapes and sizes. They're hotties. They're all shapes and sizes. It's like models on the runway breaking ankles with the high high. I do. I have seen those. Those videos are rough. You just have babe. Like ankle breaker runways. They're just like wobble, wobble, wobble. Yeah. So Adam has babe fail and Ders is fat fail. No, I don't have babe fail. My fails are of all...

All shapes and sizes. All shapes and sizes. All shapes, sizes, genders. Genders. All genders. Yes, Kyle. I said gender. I feel like there's one that's like kid fail. That's probably the saddest one is like kid fail where it's just like kids getting wrecked. Yeah. Yeah. See,

I don't think that that's sad, dude. I don't think that that's sad. Is that a thing? We've covered this, right? Adam likes that. I like it. Yeah, he likes watching kids get hurt. Well, only if I know that they're not actually injured. You never know. I like seeing a kid... Adam, they're injured.

I don't like seeing a kid actually get hurt, but my favorite is when I'd say I don't like kid fails, but I like when kids cry over nothing, over a nothing thing. Oh, right. Hold up. If they fall back and sit on their butt and you know that didn't hurt them and just sort of shocked them a little bit.

and they just start bawling, I find that funny. I'm going to laugh in my child's face. Oh, baby first sit on my nuts. We covered that last week. That's almost the crux of your parenting style.

Absolutely. That's right. Laugh. Laughter heals all. Laugh a lot. Laugh a lot. Now, Kyle, what were you trying to say up there in the corner, in my corner up there? Oh, I was just wondering if kid fails is a thing. I never seen it. Oh, yeah. Is that like a thing online? It's right next to dad saves, except they just don't get saved. That's what I've seen. I thought it was dad saves. That's like the kid fail with the happy ending. What's dad saves? What do you mean what's dad saves? That was your runner in the goddamn Workaholics movie, asshole.

Never read it. Never read it. We can't talk about it, man. We're on strike. Cannot talk about it. He said never read it. We need to do a season. Never read it. Hey, you can talk about projects that didn't happen. We can talk about how Paramount Plus Can't talk about them. is the worst fucking streaming service and they could kiss our ass. The reason we're going on strike is because the Workaholics movie was canceled. I feel like

I feel like 160,000 SAG and After Members Strong are striking because the Workaholics movie was canceled. That's huge. Big shout out. You heard the nanny yell about it. Fran is behind us. Fran is pissed, dude. I wonder if anyone wants to give a fuck about us talking about this. But isn't it crazy? It's science.

how hard it is to watch shows now. Yeah, it's so hard. Okay. Okay, give me some perspective on that. I'm just saying, like, people... I don't watch shit. But you never did. That's what I'm saying. But, like, in and out of the business, people just are like, I don't even know what I'm watching anymore. And, like, what have we achieved where we're at that point where people are just like, I don't know what I'm watching. I just watched...

I can't even remember what it was. Like there's no connection to the stuff. And by the way, we're making more than ever. It's easier to access than ever. Click of a button. It's on your phone. Nobody gives a fuck. At one point, we made these things to reflect humanity. That was the whole point of the art. Here comes Kyle from the top rope, baby. To reflect humanity. You really just said the fucking coolest thing possible. Wow, dude.

Wow, Kyle. Art is a mirror. Yeah, that's me. The ocean is a mirror. At one point, that's what it was. That's the whole thing was like, let's do this. And now we have mastered it, I guess. So we're thinking that robots can now reflect humanity, which is, I don't know. And like, there's so much of it that it doesn't fucking matter. It's all IP. I don't know if it has anything to do with what Kyle just said, but I agree with Adam. Yeah.

I think it's mostly that you no longer have cable. It used to flip through things. And there was less options. You would flip through and find something and be like, oh, I'll watch this. Yes. I'm not saying that's the reason. I'm just saying that's on to something.

Yeah, okay. All right, let's go. You're a stupid dumbass. But think about music, right? You used to have to go buy CDs. And then at one point, they were like, hey, here's Spotify. Here's Apple Music. You can listen to anything. Kazaa. And so we're like, oh, great. I'm going to pay this to listen to anything. And then they go, actually, we're going to take some stuff off if we feel like it. And you go, wait, but then I can't listen to X, Y, or Z. And they're like, yeah, you can't. And I already threw out all my CDs because you motherfuckers told me to do it. Did you really? No. God.

You did? I didn't. Good. I'm paying. Oh, dude, I was nervous. Blake didn't throw away anything that we told him to throw away. Who are we kidding? We're getting tricked into thinking we have all this stuff and we don't have anything. There's plastic bins to the fucking ceiling right behind him. Hey, don't look behind the curtain. Did you guys hear the little bit of an uproar that I caused? I'm sure you guys didn't, but I did. Because I was on like a podcast. Is this a complete departure from the talk?

No, no, no. Okay. It's exactly the talk that we're having. Okay. Childers. Okay. Good, good. Cause we should stay here. Like moving on. Because I, I was on the, I was doing a, like a podcast run for the movie that I can no longer talk about. Can't talk about it. And I did, uh, Theo Vaughn's podcast and he was asking me like, why there's not,

Something about like why there isn't a ton of comedy movies and why there's no comedy movies that are hitting. Pauly Char. And I'm saying, well, I was like, I think the reason is, is we've been conditioned to watch big Marvel superhero movies. And they made so many of them.

That you started to go, well, why would I go see a little comedy if next week the new Captain America is going to come out and it's a $200 million movie? Why would I cost something that costs $20 million to me? This is the way. Yeah. Adam, I think you're spot on.

The internet took that and ran. People were like, how dare you? Marvel didn't ruin shit. You fucking idiot. You're never going to be in a Marvel movie. Kiss my ass. Oh, they're coming at you? Those are bots. Those are bots. Yeah, they're coming after me, dude. Yeah, bro. You know how I feel about the Marvel films. And I know that I'm not going to be in a Marvel movie anyways. Look at this face. See what he's doing? He's negging Marvel to get in a movie so hard right now. I know what he's doing. I dare you to come at me, Marvel.

Oh, I dare you. What? You're fat shaming now, Marvel? Adam, have you not heard of the character, the blob? He's the blob. You can be the blob or you can be Puck. You're the blob, dude. What are you doing? I've got some roles. Clayface. I dare you, Marvel. Come at me. Adam Devine is Clayface. Ooh, that would be really sick. Adam has Clayface? He's going to be Elton John before he's going to be anything else. But right, I mean, I'm not off base by saying that.

No, you're right. You're right. Because that's why would you go to a theater to do, to watch anything but that big, that big movie? Why would you go to a theater to watch? That's true to Jack off in peace. Someone was saying, well, in 2000,

2003 or whatever year it was, it was like the second – one of the biggest movies was the Spider-Man movie that came out that year. But then the biggest movie was Shrek, and then it was like a list of all these comedies that were the biggest movies of that year. And I'm like, yeah, but there was – That rocked in 2003? I mean, I think that was the year. It was somewhere – Don't case! And then it was – Just trying to go back there. But I'm just saying –

I don't know what I'm saying. I lost my train of thought. It's so early. I'm pissed now. Really good stuff. Adam, I know what you're saying. I think I know what you're saying. I can pile on. I think you're saying the share was at least there. There were comedies in the theater that were making money and that could basically... That was my point. I was like, there was one big superhero movie. And so, of course, everyone went and saw it. But then there was also like, they came out with like 40 comedy movies and five or six of them were really good.

And the rest were less good. I don't give a fuck! But they still came out. But they probably still made their money back and they were probably still sustainable. Right now, they're saying that that type of film is not sustainable. Probably is not good enough for the bottom line, Newichek.

Yeah. It's not sustainable. They're saying you can't make money off that shit in the box office. And it's like, if you did... You can for sure make money. I know there's so much fucking money in the box office and we're just not grabbing it. It's just not happening because we're giving it to the internet. Another knock that I had that people were like, that's stupid take. Well, wait. Can we flesh the superhero thing out or is this a totally different thing? It's the same kind of thing. Well, I was saying...

Ders really wants to sit in some topics today, and I'm with him. I'm like, let's just fucking chill out. It's the same thing. It's the same thing, guys. Okay, all right. Let's bring it down. I was saying, why did they put out Ders' movie about my father? And

And the machine it's past just gets explodes. Oh, no. And the machine at the same time, the same weekend. Correct. It was fucking stupid. It's like you don't put any comedies out in the theater. And then when you do, you put two out at the exact same time. And of course, neither of them made a fortune because they split down the middle. Like half the people went over here. Half the people went over there.

And if it was the other movie you said it was about my father in the machine, Bert Kreischer, Bert Kreischer is the machine. Oh, right, right, right. Yeah. And they came out the same weekend and they, they both made like six to $8 million somewhere in there. Uh, but together that would have made like $15 million. Yeah.

And that's a healthy opening for a comedy. That's a box office. We'll pop and we all know that. Oh yeah. I believe we were like within a couple hundred thousand dollars of each other. I think they out, they edged us, which I always like. I like to get edging fucking rocks.

But you're totally right. But just to dig into the superhero thing, because everyone came after you. Yeah, okay, sure. People don't even realize the mechanisms behind why they like these movies. Because they're marketed up the fucking butthole with superhero movies. And no one's going to take... Do you know how many funny scripts are out there that aren't being made? Because it's just like, why would we take a risk pissing off somebody to make this funny movie?

movies if you go back and look if you follow like hood clips they're like can you believe they used to make movies like this and they just show clips of all the funniest movies from the 90s and 2000s and they don't make them anymore because they're like we're just not gonna take that swing and deal with like whatever kind of bullshit it is because people aren't coming into the theaters people aren't going to theaters you know what i mean they're the demand has gotten fucked up

Yeah, but dude, if the movies were... I agree with everybody. They're like, make funny movies and we'll come back. They're not making funny movies like they used to. They're just not. Well, they don't take as many swings. No. They don't take swings and they're not events. They're like, we're going to just put this on the streamer and then you'll find it when you find it. And it's going to be a part of our thing. I feel like there's less at-bats. So back in the day, they made 40 comedy movies a year by studios, the theaters. Right. Starring like...

35 different people starring a bunch of different people and it was like a handful of them would hit thank you you know what I mean a handful of them would really hit and you'd be like oh these guys are now the big comedy stars we're gonna make more movies with them and then it was the new crop of new people that they're hoping hit the next year well here's the thing when you take a 250 million dollar budget for one of these Marvel movies and you think you know what that could be fucking eight comedy oh my god

Wow. Right. Yeah. That right there is eight comedy. But also they're not banking on people anymore either as a tactic. They're like, why would we hitch our wagon to a person, a movie star, as opposed to an entity that we can just revolving door? Oh yeah. I don't know. Maybe because we're supposed to be holding a mirror up to society and like,

letting the humans. Thank you, Kyle. That's the whole point of this. Otherwise, it becomes empty. It becomes very shallow. And that's where we're living in the shallow art. That's a movie as well, right? With Bradley Cooper. The shallow art.

Yeah. The shallows. You're just not going to be selling cups at McDonald's of a guy from a character from a movie that's just whatever. You're going to be selling cups of Batman or Flash or whoever, you know, like merchandising. The other question I have when it comes to like, you know, Bert's movie or or or there's this movie. How long were they? There's home. There's home. Talk about.

about it. Yeah, the Anders Holm vehicle. How long were they even in the theaters before they started cannibalizing it online? I know for a fact that mine was in for 45 minutes. They actually stopped the movie halfway, which is fine. It's just the biz. You know what? We're not going to finish this. We have Anders Holm here from the movie to come out and say a little something. To wrap this up. I freestyle rap. Hey guys, thanks.

Thanks for a good. It was in for 45 minutes, which is why streaming services are taking big swings with comedies. Yeah, because there's an appetite out there. The movie that I can no longer speak about. I didn't get the numbers for the whole week yet, but I mean, over 20 million people watched it the first weekend. OK, nuts, right? No, that's the numbers that they gave us. That's great. Yeah, there's an appetite.

There's an appetite to sit on the couch and do that. There's not an appetite. There's an appetite to keep their subscription going. There's not an appetite to get off their butts and go to the theaters to watch it and fund that commerce. Yeah, I know. But I'm like, there has to be some kind of business model where you can release it. Obviously, you need help financing the movie. But if the 20 million people watched it, let's say it cost $2 to rent. $2.

two dollars you know what i mean like i wonder if half the amount of people would give two dollars and then that's a 20 million dollar opening or you know what i mean or even an eighth you know you know what i mean but even look at everything everywhere all at once everything everywhere all at once 824 smart studio is that a movie yeah i've heard of that it's

Put that movie in the theater. It didn't start rolling, like actually catching on for like four to six weeks in the box office. These movies aren't even getting chances in the box office anymore. Because they're not finding the space to market. Right. They're not worried about that. They're busy marketing everything that's a sure bet. They should be worried about marketing these little guys. They should be doing that because then they could actually make money and make really good art that reflects them.

You gotta market these little guys. You're a fucking disaster, my guy.

But just what Adam's talking about, the business model and all that, movies, just like music happened 10 or 15 years ago, it's been devalued. Yes, it has. Music was like, oh, I can get this for free now. Why would I ever pay for this? And it's like, well, we used to pay for it because it did something to us. It made us happy. If we were sad, it was something we could listen to sad. It fed our soul. It held the mirror up to society. Thank you. And then we just didn't value it anymore. Thank you.

That's what I value. Until Steve Jobs or whoever it was goes, actually, a song's 99 cents. Yeah. If you care, you can pay for it. It's 99 cents. And that actually seemed legit. And we did that for a while. And then Spotify goes... And then it was $1.29, wasn't it? It's nothing. Well, that's fine. But Spotify goes, actually, it's essentially free. You can listen to anything, but you pay $10 a month. And then it was $13. But the same thing's happening with movies where...

People don't want to go to the theaters to go see these comedies because they've been devalued. They've become something where you're like, I just watch this at home. And we, the industry provided that mentality where it's like, don't worry about it, man. You should only pay for something big. That's like an adventure that rumbles your seat, gets your dick hard and then holds a mirror up. It doesn't, it doesn't though. The big ones don't.

You tell me about the big ones. I don't know about the big ones. You tell me. The big ones just hold a mirror up to past products. Okay. Very nice. I like that. But like, you know, like I said many weeks ago, when's the last time you saw like an interesting movie? We used to pay to go be like, whoa, that fucking made me think about something or made me kind of like walk away thinking about the movie. Fight Club, dude. The Matrix. Yeah.

Sure, but you don't walk away thinking about any of these fucking Marvel movies ever. For sure. No, it's more about canon and lore and bullshit. I also miss the comedies in the 90s that there's no real point to it.

It was just a fun, funny movie. And that's what I miss. Yeah, sure. They don't even give these funny. Soul Plane. Where's the Soul Plane? Where's Tommy Boy? Where's Tommy Boy? Where's Black Knight? Where's Billy Madison? Where's Martin Lawrence going back in time? Dude, Black Knight is the best movie. They would never make a movie like that.

ever again. Black Knight is amazing. Tom Wilkinson? Martin Lawrence goes back to medieval times and he designs like the Skywalker like clothing. It's so good, dude. Tell you what I am watching right now is all the Mission Impossible movies. We're going back and re-watching I think I probably missed

five out of the six. Yeah, people swear by that. People really like it. They're all really good. I watched like the first one back in 1996.

The second one is less good. The second one is fine. Is that John Woo? John Woo with the birds? Yeah, that was John Woo. There were so many birds flying everywhere, slow motion style. Yeah. That's cool. Which one did Fred Durst and Limp Bizkit do the down, down, down? That was two. That was John Woo. Wake up!

It felt very 2000. It's an impossible mission. This is an impossible mission.

Seems like a pretty hard place. But now I'm at the J.J. Abrams, I think we're on four, J.J. Abrams Ghost Protocol, and it's fucking sick, dude. Oh, Ghost Protocol with the windstorm chasing? Oh, yeah. Is that the underwater one? Is that the one where he's got to hold his breath? Is that Ghost Protocol? Wait, y'all are just saying things. Oh, well, he does hold his breath for a little bit. That's not like a huge scene. There's like a sandstorm. A huge sandstorm is the main. There's a sandstorm at Ghost Protocol. That one is like midair with like the knives and shit. Yeah.

There probably is. Yeah, probably is. Where he's hanging onto the plane with the person in the thing. Oh, yeah. Is that like the ship with the lasers in the room? No, that's not. It must be the next movie. Oh, my God. There's one where he's got to hold his breath for like fucking eight minutes or something. Oh, damn. Are you serious?

Yeah, it's epic. It's science. Indeed, and he has to turn off a bomb. One of the guys on Barstool Sports, a KFC radio, I just did that podcast, so I follow those guys now. One of those guys had a take that I was like, oh, that's a perfect take. Okay, get your KFC take off. He was like, how come no one likes...

And people talk shit on Fast and Furious. They say it's like, it's just popcorn movie. It's not taken seriously. It's just because it got fucking huge. KFC popcorn chicken. Be careful around the franchise. Fast and Furious. But people love Mission Impossible and call it like great cinema when essentially they are the same movies. It's the same kind of. Are they? Yeah.

They are. No, it's the same sort of assembly in a team. No assembly in a team. Huge set pieces that could never happen in real life. But there's spot. Tom Cruise is literally doing this. That he's doing this. Let me know. He's not. Yes, he is. Yes, he is. That's the whole thing. No, he's doing a couple stunts per movie. He's not doing every stunt because some of these stunts are undoable.

You can't do Tom Cruise fucking sits on an Apple box on set and just wait. He's like, what's up? When am I ready to go? Yeah, that's the stunt. That's what the people want to see. Adam, I don't know. I agree with the idea that these are like big set piece movies with teams or whatever. Yeah. But the idea that they're saying has never even seen these movies. Mission Impossible. Mission Impossible is just terrible.

I did. Shoot me down. Impossible. Impossible. You're telling me that the Fast and the Furious is the best presidential debate ever. Fast and Furious is just doing what Mission Impossible did, a show from the 70s. Impossible.

Well, but I appreciate the theory. Well, no, I mean, because in the 70s, they didn't have the budgets to do these huge set pieces. You know what I mean? I know, but the idea of like putting together a team and all that. Like Ocean's Eleven did that. Yeah, Seven Samurai did it first. Yeah, Armageddon, bro. Armageddon is basically Armageddon did it first. Right.

Armageddon is just this huge. I mean, admittedly, I like Mission Impossible probably a little more than I do Fast and Furious, but I still love the Fast and Furious movies. But they are getting it is just huge set piece after huge set piece of things that you know. Why do you know? Why, though? Because they have to survive. OK, good. Yeah, good. Yeah. Against Marvel. But wouldn't you argue that the complexity of the Mission Impossible set pieces is

It's just more about the choreography, whereas they just have gotten off-the-wall bonkers crazy in the Fast and Furious movies. Sure, they went to space. Yeah. And there's no Tom Cruise-level actor holding it all together in the Fast and Furious movies. No, Fast and Furious. Vin Diesel and The Rock go hand-to-hand combat. I can't remember which movie it is, but they go hand-to-hand combat and crush a parking structure. Right.

Throwing each other on the ground and stuff. Crushing a fucking parking structure. You saw their lats and their guns and stuff. Their hogs. And by the way, I'm saying this having never seen the Fast and the Furious movies, but they're also... Very good. Just watch the first one. Uninformed. They're also stupid, and the Mission Impossible movies usually are pretty clever. No. Hey, Jers, you haven't even seen it. Because at any point, they could just rip their face off and be like, it was a psych.

None of this happened. I know. That's another reason why I mean the Mission Impossible movie. And by the third movie, they like explain those masks finally. Because the first two movies, they're just ripping these masks off. And you're like, well...

You could just be anyone at any point because you're able to wear a mask and be Blake Anderson. Well, that's cool. That's a good device. Sure, but you have to explain how these were made. How did they have them on them at all times? Why it's so real. How did they? Why that white dude's hands are black? Like, wait a second. Your neck is black. Rewind the footage.

His neck. He's always standing with his hands behind his back. Why does he have a black neck? Have you ever thought why this brother always has his hands in his pockets? He's standing like Stringer Bell, and it's just like, I think something's going on here. It's a Stringer Bell stance. That's a great reveal. The great reveal is slow motion hands coming out of the pocket, just like... Look at it every video. Why is he standing like... I see power cover. Zoom in. What?

What? His hands? No, his lack thereof. His hands are never showing in any of these videos. Wait, by the way, that's the reveal of the movie where he's like, hey, good call, man. Give me a high five. And then he's like, he holds his hand. He's like, what are you doing? He goes, he never high fived me. He left me hanging.

His hands are white. He left me hanging. He's got black hands. And this is why we have to write our Mission Impossible movie. You say, wait, what did you just say? You're mispronouncing it now and I don't appreciate that. I'm sorry. How did you say it? Mission Impossible? Impossible. I wish there was a real appetite for parody. You've heard of MI... What is it? MI1? This is T-I-I. Mission Impossible.

And that rolled off the tongue. This is impossible. This is impossible. I like how you picked mission. You said mission impossible. Yes, points! This is impossible.

Oh my God. Oh my God. Wait, what'd you just say? I hear what they're saying though about the comp, the comparison. Well, you haven't seen them. Mission Impossibles are so much better. You haven't seen them. Yeah, Mission Impossibles are smarter. You haven't seen them. The smartest facts. You literally haven't seen any of these movies. That's why they're better. You haven't seen the one with the safes?

You haven't seen the one where he skydives with the knives? The only thing I know is that Michelle Rodriguez is in the Fast and the Furious franchise. Yeah, she is. They get points. They get points for that. Tight butthole. Yes, butthole!

But Bing Reims is in Mission Impossible, so like... That's true. It's elevated. And have you ever noticed that I don't think those people have been in the same movie ever? They might be the same person. Have you ever seen Mishra's hands? Well, take the fucking mask off. Have you seen Michelle Rodriguez's hands in a movie ever? She says like...

You should see the look on your face. Doesn't she say that? Yeah, she does. That's Avatar. What I do like about the Mission Impossible movies is they do all feel like of a time. Right. That's the Limp Bizkit for you. Like the 1996 one feels like it's in 1996. And then 2000. The jeans game, I'm guessing. The John Woo one, number two, Mission Impossible 2. Mm-hmm.

is so 2000. Like Kyle said, it's like Limp Bizkit is doing the Mission Impossible soundtrack in it. And I don't want to die. Yeah, that one's fucking sick. It's so cool. That was the coolest when they were doing that. I was like, yes. But here's my question, Adam, about 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or whatever. Did those all feel kind of timeless with the exception of looking at like cell phones? No, I would say for, I think we're on four right now. Uh,

that that one fell are there nine no uh i think six is coming out six is uh seven just came out in theaters and it's rocking right now it's tearing shit up i can't wait to see it no it's doing less good than they thought it's still doing very good but uh it's seven that's out of solidarity though people they don't want to go see these movies out of solidarity yeah that's all there oh really

Yeah. Solidarity. Solidarity. Oh man. Seven of them, dude. How do you even tell? I can't tell the difference between the fast and the furious now. They're at 10. Do you know what I mean? It's like, I don't know what the fuck happened in fucking four through nine. It also doesn't really matter. They said they reset it. That shit sucks. That also sucks about the film industry. They're like, it doesn't matter. And you're like, okay, okay, cool. It's just, uh,

I won't remember it. What if some people like you who don't remember can go and still enjoy the movie? That doesn't bother me. Do you think the Bond movies are better than Mission Impossible? But Bond switches it up. You switch Bonds. That's kind of fucking cool. It gives you a whole new breath of life. You get to invest into a new actor. What's dope about Mission Impossible is Tom Cruise. Well, it's because if they didn't, the man would be 112 years old. He'd just be rotting in a casket, and you're like, there's 007.

And Roger Moore is still good. Look at him go. Yeah, Blake, you fucking idiot. Hey, fuck off, mate. All right. I think that'd be cool to see an old ass James Bond. Let's see what he can do. Nothing. All fucking.

Yeah, he just gets kicked once and his fucking hip shatters. His dentures fly out and then he starts just gumming on the bad guy. But the dentures are a bomb. They have bombs in the teeth. Yeah, exactly. Wait, what's the bond that keeps the dentures in? That's the ad campaign right there. What? What are you talking about? He's saying like a bond, like glue. Like denture bond. It's called like glue.

Fuck. It's right there. Oh, Denture Bond? Yeah, I know what you're saying. Okay, good shit. What's it called, though? Don't we know? Gold Bomb? What happened to us? Not Gold Bond. Gold Bond is earlier Bond. That used to be a tip of the tongue, top of the tee. Tip of the tongue. Mail Order Comedy, us would have nailed this shit, guys. What's happening? Oh, man. I don't know.

What bond do you want to know? What bond? We've been on the sidelines too long, boys. I want a fix-a-denture bond. We're not in the streets anymore. Fix-a-denture bond, right? Gorilla bond. So you're saying 007 and James Bond fix-a-dent? Fix-a-dent bond. Trident. See? Any take-backs? I got a few.

Oh, man. There's a lot of Hollywood talk this. And by the way, I'm wearing sunglasses. Adam came on wearing sunglasses. And I said, you know what? Sunglasses. Those aren't sunglasses. Those are fun glasses. And I put them on. Wow. And now Blake's joining the wagon here. Oh, shit. Yeah. You know what I was tripping on? Because I got these little kids Spider-Man glasses at Walgreens. They frame your face perfectly. Yeah.

Thank you. Those look like some cool grandma glasses. Why is it so wide up top? What's going on with the brow? It's Spider-Man. Yeah, it's spiders. It's such a wide brow. By the way, Marvel. Thank you. You guys talk all this shit about Marvel, but look what I'm wearing. I don't like those. See, that's my point is I'm not talking shit about Marvel. I'm saying that that's what happened to

comedy movies. Marvel Studios. Yeah, you're right. They got swallowed up. In relation to comedy movies, they got swallowed. Yeah. Swallowed. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And they're faking the funk by being like, well, this superhero movie is actually a comedy. And then you're like, no, it's not. They need to make a really funny superhero movie. That would be awesome. What is the funniest superhero movie besides Blank Man? Ooh. Besides what? Wow.

Besides Blank Man. Oh, dude. Blank Man is so good. That's a great movie. Blank Man is amazing. I know. What is it? What is it? Mystery? Mystery Men? Mystery Men? No, Mystery Team? Mystery... Isn't it?

Isn't it Mystery Team with the shoveler? Mystery Team is with the Donald Glover and Dominique Dierke. Oh, right. That's right. Yeah, so Mystery Man is the shoveler, right? Yeah. That's the shoveler and the fucking, and Kel? The waffler. Ben Stiller, Kel. Kel thinks he's invisible. Kel is the invisible man. Yeah, and he's naked. Invisible boy. Dane Cook's weirdly invisible.

that movie? He is. Very shagadelic. What's Dane Cook? Oh yeah, he auditions. He auditions in the beginning, right? That's kind of cool. Wow, see, maybe now that there's a strike, we go dust off some mold. Isn't fucking Pee Wee Herman in that movie? Pee Wee Herman's in that flick too, right? Hey, tell you what, my wife hates it, but I'm re-watching Entourage.

The Sheik. Again? Yeah, whenever I have a ton of downtime, I just let it play on the TV. I'll walk in, watch 15 minutes, go about my day. Oh. And what do you get out of it? Yeah, what's going on there? It's nice seeing some old friends. I'm living in a nightmare. Just walking in, seeing Turtle E, Johnny Drama. The coolest thing about Entourage right now is that the creator, Doug Ellen, is a huge pickleballer. Okay, and we'll be right back. Thanks for clocking in.

We'll be right back. He posts fire clips. Chill. He posts fire clips. They're sick. That's dope, man. I think I sent you one, didn't I? Of him at some indoor pickleball court at some Palm Springs crib. All that checks out. Oh, dude. He's got a fucking sick-ass spot wherever he's playing. It's like, oh, dude. And why does he have that and you don't? I don't know. I got my pickleball court in the backyard, though. I got it in, so that's cool. Very nice. Rocking on it. Excited. You're going to have to send us some pics. I want to see that.

Yeah, what's the deal? Get some drone footage. I'll send you guys some pics. I've been working on it. It's been great, dude. It's cool. It's fucking sick to have it right there, dude. Ball machine. Do you still like it? Do you think you could beat him? Do you think you could beat Doug Ellen and Pickleball? Without a doubt. I don't know. My boy Kyle can beat Doug Ellen. Yeah. Fucking all day. Yeah, sure. There's no doubt in my mind. Yeah, come on. Well, we all know Pickleball's funky where sometimes you lose.

and you lose bad no matter what. Why are you making excuses for yourself? Don't make excuses. Stand up for yourself. I'm just saying, that's pickleball for you. No, I'm okay. I'm good because I would house him in a game for sure. I would take him in a game. Would Michael Jordan say, hey, basketball's funky? Basketball's a little funky. Sometimes you lose. He is quoted as saying that. Sometimes the ball don't go in. Would Kobe Bryant say, you know what? The game is funky sometimes. It's a funky game. It's a funky game.

Dude, I guess you're right. I'm not going to even defend what I said because that was obviously me just protecting my ego. Actually, I do think Kobe, when they went against the Celtics in Oh Whatever, I think before that series, he did go, well, you know, anything can happen. Basketball is funky. And then they got swept. Yeah, that's true, dude. Paul Pierce swept them. You know, it's funky. Swept his ass and pooped his pants, evidently. Yeah.

And it's funky. I really like that rumor about Paul Pierce and he always has to defend it. They said, remember when he went out on the wheelchair? Oh, yeah. Oh, that he had shit his pants? They said that it was because he shit his pants. Tired.

Tyria. That's fine. Wait, what? So Kyle doesn't know the story for sure. No, I don't. And I'd love to know the story. I don't either, but go ahead. Paul Pierce got hurt in the game. And then they put him in a wheelchair. And they wheel him out. And he's like moaning. He's like, ah, ah.

And they're like, oh, he's for sure out the rest of the game. Like you don't leave in a wheelchair screaming in pain and come back and play. And then like 15 minutes later, he comes running back out onto the court as if there was not any sort of injury. Ultimate warrior. The rumor is that he shit his pants. And new shorts. And needed to go JBL. Yeah. And so, yeah.

Cause this is like part of his, uh, his like legacy, right? Like the whole, um, what's the fucking word? The mythology of him is like, he got hurt, came back and like killed it in that game. Right. Cause he pinched a loaf out and he was light on his feet. Right. Yeah. Has anyone gone back and like compared the shorts? Um,

I'm sure. Right. That's what I'm wondering. If it's new shorts. I don't know if there's a whole CSI situation happening with his basketball shorts. Well, somebody should, right? It's Mission Impossible 4, dude. Mission Impossible Paul Pierce. I guess, yeah. He shit his pants. Shit my shortsable. Maybe he just had to shit, though. Maybe he also was moaning out of pain because he had a very hurt abdomen.

That could be frustrating. For sure, he shit his pants. And then it's in shorts, right? It's in basketball shorts. They wear white, too. And they wear white. But they're wearing tight. That's why they sat him down. So, you know, he just act like he tweaked his ankle or whatever and just ate shit and was like, I'm in pain. I'm in pain. I need to get out of here right now because your career is...

is over if a piece of dookie falls out of your shorts. Oh, yeah, you're not getting on another team. You're done. You're done. Hey, hold up. They got compression shorts. What do you mean? If you shit your pants during a game, though. No, you're not done. I'm not trying to be on your team if you shit your pants. Oh, come on. It's one time. Marathoners do this every day. That's part of the game, though. Marathoners. Isn't it tough? That's part of the game. I know, but isn't it kind of badass to just keep playing after you're accidentally

Can you enlighten me on what you're saying about marathoners? Just tell me what you mean by that. If they need to take a shit, they just do it because they're like, I can't stop. And then you just go.

When they're running? Yeah. The cause of diarrhea. It happened to the hottest girl in my high school, and we never looked at it the same. What? She was the hottest girl in our high school. She was a long-distance runner, and she... She got even hotter. I'm going to be honest. Right. Shit sprayed out of her ass as she was running, and she was covered in shit. What? Did it make her go faster? Yeah. I'm about to kick it into overdrive. Dude, that's that sonic boom. That's that gnaws. That gnaws. She hit the gnaws. Gnaws.

I'm about to hit the Nas real quick. Long distance running is funky. It seems pretty cool. That's real, though? Like, that seems bizarre to me. Like, it just goes and then it's on the ground. Because you're like up and down, up and down. You're eating all these, like, fucking gels and shit. And sometimes you got to... Is it real? Dude, it's juggling right out your asshole. Wow. Sometimes you got to do the dishes. I'm going to start saying that about taking a shit. Hey, guys, you got to go do the dishes. That's good. That's good.

Oh, man. Sometimes you gotta do the dishes.

Honestly, it's weird that we're having a diarrhea talk because I was on this podcast. Is it? Yeah. I guess you're right. It is very strange. You know, the character. It's really weird. We're having diarrhea talk. Bizarre conversations today. I got so sick yesterday. I had this straight up flu. Like, I'm still not 100%, but I was fucking talk.

Barfing? Barfing, diarrhea-y. It's going around. It's the adenovirus, right? Did it last like six hours or eight hours? Yes, dude. It's a tornado out of nowhere. You fucking melt down and then you're kind of fine. Dude, new COVID. You got new COVID. My oldest had it yesterday, two mornings ago. Really? Waking me up.

Dude, he woke up at 6 in the morning, came in a room and just threw up on the floor, threw up in the bathroom. And we're like, then the next morning. Who? Your child or just some stranger? Eldest. Yes. Oldest. Yeah. Some guy came in. We were like, hey, get in bed. Relax. It was like six cents. Yeah.

Take your mask off. Check his hands. The next morning, M and R are like, Jesus, that was a rough one. The next morning, middle child comes in 4 a.m., crawls in bed with us and goes, I don't feel good, and then just throws up on us. Spews. Dude, literally. And now this morning, our nanny shows up and she goes, I was up all morning barfing. Dude, literally. Same exact thing in my household. All four of us have thrown up everywhere. And it just hits you like a ton of fucking brick.

Oh, man. And then it's gone. That sucks. Dude. Well, I'm getting on a 10-hour flight in five hours, and I can't wait for that to happen. Oh, my God. You will know it as soon as it happens because your body... Like, I was Instagram. I was doing pull-ups. I was sitting in the sun reading books, and then... I was on Instagram. I was swiping. Nothing can stop me. Dude.

I was having a whole day. I did three pull-ups. I was on Instagram. I was drunk driving with one leg out the window. I was standing up. I opened the refrigerator and the freezer like it was no big deal. Then I went for a run like every other day and all of a sudden sprayed it. Nope, I was. It's an oz.

so i put on my running gear i'm like i'm gonna take a lovely little run i'm feeling so good and i tie my shoes i tie my shoes as soon as the freaking final loop goes through it's like i feel it right in my thighs like you know like burning muscles sort of and i'm like oh shit what the fuck is going on and then all of a sudden it's just my guts were just like had to evacuate did you get that hot mouth dude i did when it starts to get wet or you're like oh and you're like you're

comes man i don't know lubricating it's been years since i like got sick from being sick like a flu bug or something what do you mean didn't you have covid can you clarify that a little bit for me i didn't puke you know what i mean i haven't gotten sick because of diarrhea oh yeah yeah from just being sick uh you know you haven't COVID's real

You haven't spewed. Oh, you've thrown up from drinking, but not thrown up from like a virus. Yes, from a virus. I mean, I don't even know how long. That's crazy. Dude, it's terrible. And as soon as it happens... I don't know if that's good or bad, by the way. Yeah. You're like, I can't remember the last time I haven't thrown up from not drinking. Yeah.

It is weird how much the flu is like being hung over, isn't it? Oh, my God. Well, that sucks, Drew. So now you have to get on a 10 hour flight. Honey, I just got the flu. And has it it's gone through everybody. Are you afraid? It's gone through two eldest and our nanny this morning. And now Emma and I were like eating charcoal pills. Oh, wow. Hydrating. Tell me if it works.

Because that shit went like a tornado through the fam. It was crazy. And so now you're just like... Now you're alright? I'm still like... I mean, this was literally like last night that this was happening. So I'm still a little fucked up, but...

Feel way better. Way better. Wow, weird. Yeah, it for real was just six or eight hours for both my boys. And for my nanny, didn't ask, didn't care. She had to go to work. Get in there and teach those kids how to spell. She showed up and we were like, oh, like, yeah, but we're like getting ready to head out. And I think she's, she's...

She's necessary. She needs to get the boys out of the house so we can pack. It's science. Well, I hope you don't get it, man. I have never been violently ill on a flight. That would be a terrible experience, I feel.

I think I was with you guys one time. Oh, yeah. After the Chicago pizza. Yeah. That was brutality. That's the most sickest. Oh, you got like... But they got the barf bags. Remember, I was like... I was taking your barf bag and like whoever else was next to me's barf bag. Yeah, dude. And just handing it. Did you use them? Oh, yeah. I filled them. Was that from when...

I spiked pizza in Blake's asshole. Ooh, I like this. Yeah, and then I found this one piece of pizza. Hey, cool. I was like, I gotta eat this. Durs woke up at three in the morning and ate that pizza. Hey, anybody gonna eat this? What is this? Why'd you eat this one? Why is this one sitting out? That's a thick, coarse hair. Yeah. Huh. Huh.

sausage that's a little that's an extra flavor I don't recognize from traditional Chicago style pizza that's pretty good well we told that story so long ago but the quick version of it is we were very drunk back from a show it was like one of our very first shows out of town a sketch show the Lemmings National Lampoon Lemmings and

Blake and I were sharing a room, Anders, and we were arguing over who was sleeping where. And I had called a bed and you were laying on it with your ass hanging out. And I asked you to get off the bed and you wouldn't. And then your way of solving it was to spike a pizza slice up. And I took a piece of deep dish pizza and Blake had his ass hanging out and I spiked it directly into his asshole. Full force. The cause.

Pizza sauce everywhere. Now, did you throw it? Because I've never actually visualized this moment before. I've heard this story a million times. Did you smack it on him? Like you spanked him with it? Or what's the... It was like a spike. Like I spiked a football.

It was like a TD celebration. I didn't finger his asshole with my hand, if that's what you're asking. No, it was just weird. No, no, that's not what I'm asking. We don't know that. He kind of looped it up a little bit. Yeah, Durst actually held my cheeks open, and then Adam was like, And so after he did that, Blake gets...

extremely pissed and goes off and Adam's like, whoa. And then I just call Kyle who's not there. We've played it on the show. We've played the audio. Yo, these dudes are fighting. It was 140 hours ago. I know, but like Adam's saying, that was 10 years ago. Yeah, it's a while ago. These guys are fighting. Listen to this. And then I just held up my fucking phone and then Kyle remixed the voicemail to sad music. And...

And it is sad because Blake talks about what's funny and what's not funny anymore. And now he can't even movie theaters. And I'm afraid maybe I think I mentioned that. I'm like, you guys just wait because Marvel is going to take over everything. If you guys don't want butt stuff, then you're just going to have a whole bunch of Captain America's and Mission Impossible. And now look at us. How'd you pronounce that? Mission Impossible. Okay.

But this is impossible. No more butch stuff. God damn it. Those are the days. Was there any take backs, any apologies, any epic slams or dope giveaways? Oh, by the way, we're getting tour dates. So it looks like we are going to hit the road a little bit with T.I.I. Nation, which sounds so exciting. Meet us at the club. It's going down. Yeah, dude. Give me a hell yeah.

That's crazy, man. Yeah, well, I mean, we're all just kind of sitting around, so might as well just take the show on the road, baby. On the road, baby. Yeah, we're coming to a city near you. Start setting aside your ducats now. It's going to be a good time. You might catch a buzz ball, is what we're saying. Yeah, don't get hit with a buzz ball.

Just watch your back, Jack. Yeah, we might cool it on the buzz balls. What? Yeah, I don't know. Or we might go full force. Who knows? Who knows what's going to happen? We might all come out inside giant buzz balls. Wow, dude. You should just have a bunch of empty ones. Get him to make a bunch of empty ones. Put a little ticket inside of it that says, congratulations, go redeem your buzz ball. And then throw the empty buzz balls out. Do you know how much work that is for buzz ball drinkers? That sounded so good.

No. Like a nightmare. At the event, all they have to do is walk up to the stage and redeem their ticket. I don't think that's a lot of work. Wait, what are they redeeming it for? They're redeeming it at the stage or at the bar or wherever. Okay, Kyle, let's walk this out. So now we're just working a buzzball booth while we're trying to do the live podcast. You're also throwing buzzballs. We're throwing empty buzzballs with tickets in them. We're also throwing buzzballs very far. Yeah, yeah.

And then at the end of the show, they bring the buzz ball up to us, show proof of purchase, and then we... He didn't say end of show. He just says they bring it up. Well, if it's during the show, they could bring it to the bar. If it's the end of show, they can wait and come up and slam with you guys because that's what they were running to do anyways. Hopefully we're not performing somewhere with a bar. Yeah. Well, we probably will. I thought we were going to be in theaters. Unless it's casinos. Wait, what do you mean? I want a fucking big ass amphitheater. That's what I want.

Yeah. They still have bars there, dude. They have multiple bars. They have a lot of bars. I guess you're right. Yeah. Outside. Yeah. Just walk to the fucking outside. Rederm your coupon. Make it happen. What did you say? Sentence impossible. Well, I got a lot of plans. Well, I mean, the fact that we don't have the picture, the four bars,

little slices of our buttholes as a NFT. What? The fact that we don't? That is true. I feel like people would be people would gobble them up. I feel people would be gobbling them up.

Remember the pitch? It's just a little sliver of our assholes. So it's not a full photo of any of our assholes. It's a quarter. It's a quarter. It's a quarter of the asshole. So it's that. You kind of get a go. Slice of the pie. And then it's a fun guessing game of like,

whose asshole is whose, you know? Yeah. And are there four different NFTs because it's like each quarter, like it rotates, right? Oh, okay. Oh, you have to, it's like you have to meet the people that have the other quarters to really figure it out. Oh, wow.

You have to collect them all. That's cool. So at our live show, you have to trade cards and you have to redeem tickets. It's a real interactive show. You're busy. You can't even watch the show because you're so busy fucking trading. Mommy, how did you meet Daddy? Well, we both had these NFTs and we met each other and hit it off.

We completed the butthole. Your mother gave me it. I said, let me gobble. And she said, okay. And it was a whoop-wap. That was just a pitch for the merch booth, okay? You know, there's got to be a merch booth. Okay.

The naked grandma tees during our first live show went like crazy. People loved them. I pulled it out. She said, is that real, Bam? Did any of you get one? I didn't get one. No, I don't have one. I wish I had one. Yeah, I'm kind of pissed that I didn't get a long sleeve with the naked grandma. We can figure that out. I bet you could just get one. I thought they sold out. Yeah, I'm fairly positive you could. I thought they sold out. Yeah, but they're, I mean, Zach, my friend, I wish I was pizza.

on Instagram makes them in a garage. So you could just ask him and he'll quickly make you one. Water trash. Zach, my friend, I wish I was pizza. I wish I was pizza. Side note, I wish I was pizza. My friend, I wish I was pizza. People know him. My 4th of July party, 4th of July party was pretty epic, by the way. It was, very fun. My friend Flo Groberg, who won the Congressional Medal of Honor, showed up.

And, uh, wait, who was that? Sounds like a made up name. I introduced you. I introduced you. Uh, his name is flow and he's like Florent. What's his name? Yeah. I think his name is floor Florent Florent. Something like that. Uh,

And he won the Congressional Medal of Honor. He became my buddy. I did the USO tour with him. Oh, yeah. Yes. I talked to him. He's mad interesting. Like he has the craziest story. Oh, yeah. I mean, yes, that was fucking cool. How do you win a Congressional Medal of Honor? I don't know. It's like the highest award our military can give you. And it's actually most people are dead when they receive the award.

Because they have to do something so heroic, usually they die. Right. Is this what Forrest Gump got for saving all those guys, right? Yes. Yes. He's our best American, Forrest Gump. Dude, he rocked that. Forrest Gump rocked Vietnam, bro. He crushed it. Yeah, he was so good at it. But this is a real soldier. Yeah, I know. The flow, if I'm getting the story right, it was a suicide bomber. It was a suicide bomber, and it

he tackled him and then tackled the guy and saved his whole platoon and was blown up and flew like 40 feet in the air from the explosion and didn't die, which is crazy.

Damn. What's his workout routine? I've done it. Way stronger than him. Oh. Yeah, way stronger than him. Okay. What's up, Flo? And so you met him doing USO tour stuff or you just met him at the White House or what? No, doing USO tours and he's just become my buddy and he was like, I asked him to come and he was like,

You know what? Fuck it. I'm coming. I'm going to come. And he came from, I think he lives in the Dallas Fort Worth area and just flew in for it, which was, which was really rad. All those stories are like military guys have the craziest fucking stories, dude. It's really, is there any part of you that invited him just in case there was like a suicide bomber that rushed your party and you were like, well, always I'm thinking there might be a suicide bomber. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah.

I'm going to come. Yeah, maybe you should definitely come on out. We need a hero. I've asked him to do a handful of things, and this is the first time that he swooped in, which was so cool. Right. Yeah, you didn't have to pay for security. It's great. Well, big thank you to that guy. Yeah, yeah.

Big thanks. Yeah, I want to give my thanks to Flo. I would like to shout out to Flo Groberg. Yeah, shout out to Flo. Yeah, me too, then. Flo Groberg, good job out there, buddy. He's the man. Flo Groberg, what a solid name. Yeah, that's really good. His wife, Carson, very, very nice people. I met them both on the USO tour. Wow, so she has what's traditionally a men's name, and he has what is also traditionally, in the ways of the past...

A woman's nickname. They're perfect for each other. Oh, Flo? Yeah. Yeah, I guess so. I never put that together. Lawrence. Yeah. Yeah. I'm sorry. Interesting. Now this is interesting. I just see the world differently. You do, bro, and I love you for that. You know, I have like a real interesting point of view. It's so sick. Yeah, I mean, the story of...

Of when my dad was blackout drunk and headlocked multiple armed forces members and was screaming, fuck ISIS, am I right? Flo was right there in that crew. He was by your side. By my father's side going, who's this drunk asshole? And I'm like, that's my dad.

That's my father. He's like, we're going to be best friends. He's like, you should add security here. You're like, well, that's kind of why you're here. That's why you're here. You're the guy. That's my dad. Well, about my father. We can't talk about that. Not in theaters. We cannot talk about that. We cannot talk about it. The machine. We won't be talking about movies anymore. We got to have our system. What? What is there? What is there? What's another movie that's on Netflix right now? Can't talk about it? Don't know. Can't talk about it. Well, you just named two movies, goddammit.

What did I say? About my father and the machine. I was piling onto yours. I just said it. Well, I will say that I watched the quarterback, the first episode. Oh, the quarterback. Did you guys, have you guys watched this? And it made me realize how good Hard Knocks is because the quarterback, you watch the first 20 minutes and you're like, what the fuck is happening? Who edited this? This is just like montage after montage of like quarterbacking and running around. Yeah. And it's not great. I'm going to keep watching because I'm interested in like...

male body just behind the scenes of that life or whatever but fucking hard knocks i can't wait for you to come back and just i'm gonna go is very good and i agree with you i watched the outlaws is oh sorry sorry i said the outlaws which is a movie that's on uh streaming service but i watched uh quarterback as well which is also on a streaming service uh

And yeah, we got so bored with it. It was another one of those shows that I just kept on and like walked around my house doing shit and would hop in and be like, oh yeah. It was so bad. I'm like, you're following the most entertaining player in the league. And then two other dudes who are also high level quarterbacks with interesting backgrounds. And like,

I'm not riveted. I'm not like endeared to these people. How did this happen? Because football players are the most boring of all the athletes. Football players are fucking boring. Really? I know. That's what I'm saying about hard knocks makes it like either hilarious or endearing or like a human. Like, you know, I mean, like they take these superstars and they go, actually, this guy had a rough day and still pulled it out. Like,

Not a stick. Well, I think it's because they follow the guys that aren't necessarily the stars. I feel the drama comes with them going, this guy's about to get cut or this guy is getting cut. Right. This just follows Patrick Mahomes. It's like he's going to win. And then I feel like you spend more time with them. It's like if you're following just with the stars, it's a different beast. I agree. But then you need to figure out how to edit the angle of, hey, you just won the Super Bowl. How are you going to keep this up? Right.

What are the stakes? You got to ask these questions because they also have them doing talking head stuff. I have stakes, man. Stakes is high. You don't have as much of on hard knocks, but the talking heads of that's when you ask the questions about like the pressure and like how it affects your life, your family, whatever. You know about pressure and they go, no pressure. I don't know. I just was disappointed. Maybe it gets better. I don't know.

Netflix is horrible. Everything loose, but entertainment in general, I'm fucking over. All right. Thank you, Durs. Thank you, Durs. Podcasts are the future. Live podcasts are the future. Okay. Let's rock, dude. And little indie films that make no money. Let's go. Oh, yeah. Thank you, dog. Absolutely. And
