The "I Heart" podcast blends personal storytelling with cultural critique, centering on the emotional journey of a brother facing pancreatic cancer and the vulnerability of sharing his final chapter of life. The host emphasizes the fear of being forgotten, framing the podcast as a way to honor and preserve personal truth. A major segment examines the Miss America pageant’s legacy, exposing how it has shifted from a symbol of aspiration to a site of exploitation, with contestants facing mental health struggles and financial neglect—often silenced by the organization. The podcast critiques the institution’s suppression of personal stories, highlighting a disconnect between the pageant’s image of perfection and the harsh reality of its participants. Through satire and humor, the hosts question mainstream self-improvement culture, advocating for authenticity. The five-year anniversary reflects on the podcast’s evolution, its growing community, and the deep bonds formed through candid, often messy conversations. Themes of inclusion, memory, and personal growth emerge as central, with moments of nostalgia, shared experiences, and even hunting trips in Omaha reinforcing a sense of connection. The podcast ultimately celebrates real human experiences—fear, vulnerability, humor, and resilience—over polished narratives, positioning itself as a space for truth-telling and emotional honesty.

That is pretty crazy, like five years is an insane amount of time. - You know, like when you're in a crowd of people, like a concert or a bar or something, and you like where you're standing, you don't want to move. You've got a good position, you gotta stand strong. - Absolutely. - And when someone kind of like pushes through, you know what they're doing, that's how we're standing. - That's how we're standing strong. - Yeah, then Blake closed your eyes, who's performing at this concert? - I'm still gonna say, sticks. - This is sticks. - Sticks, yeah. A band that was popular when our dads were at 'em. - He said, "I'm honoring my father by being at the thund." - I'm with my dad at the concert. - Oh, okay. - And they're trying to push in between your strength together. - They're trying to push between me and my father. - A band that was very successful when our dads were 25 years younger. - Okay. - Distixed it, sail away, that's his sticks. - To the sticks. - I think so. - Yeah. - Come sail away. - The big, the super drum set, that's them? - Oh, it's either them or us. - That was rush. - That was rush. - Or rush. - Or a shot of super drums. - Oh, rush, okay. - It's definitely some Prague rock band. - For sure. - Neil Pert. - Neil Pert. - Neil Pert is from what band? - Rush. - Rush. - Okay, okay. - He's a very important member. It's a good documentary. - Mm-hmm. - Yes, my uncle, when I learned, I was trying to learn how to play the drums in like the eighth grade. And my parents bought me. - 'Cause it's just fucking pussy magnet. - Okay. - Jesus Christ. - I gotta be slurping. I gotta be slurping. Give me a drum. - Kiss. - I gotta be slurping some. - Daddy needs a drum set. - I like the drum set. - Once I get in a high school, I gotta be slurping. - Sure, yeah. - So I got a drum set for like $70. It was such a piece of shit. It was like, you punched you like when you would hit the like a, you with your head, the head. - Drum? - The drum head. - When you would hit it, the head would like dent in. - Sure. - It would like dent. - It had soft spots. - You mean like the rim or in the like, on the canvas thing or whatever. - No, in the part that you're hitting. - That you're supposed to hit. - Yeah, the skin? Do they call the skin? - The skin, I believe. - The skin. - You were hitting the skin. - The skin. - Sure, like I said, like I said. - Yeah, that's what they say. - If you hit the skin, you'll be slurping in notes. - Slurping. - Yeah. - And so then my uncle, I was like trying to learn how to play. I knew one beat and I'm pretty sure you guys have seen me play this beat. - Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. - Yeah, you always do, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. - Yeah, that's so I got my one beat. - That's so good. - You could play it. I'm like, I cannot, yeah. So I was learning how to play and my uncle then gave me a DVD of, it might have been a VHS at this point. - Oh hell. - And I think it was a VHS of Neal Perth. He took all of his, my uncle loves live recordings of live shows, and a lot of them are that he snuck in his camera and filmed himself. So it was like a shady back of someone's head, viewing of Neal Perth drumming, and he cudded like a super mix. - That person probably standing pretty strong though. - Yeah, that guy was standing strong. - No doubt, absolutely. - There was a super mix of that, and then I saw Neal Perth actually drumming, and it made me want to quit. He was too good. - Yeah, you don't, when you, when someone's first starting, you don't show them the best that there ever was. - Yeah, where do you start? What drummer? Maybe you go with the dude from, like, Presidents of the United States of America. I think he used, like, just a snare. That's all he used. - A snare. - Maybe there was some cymbal. - Yeah, I feel like that's probably where you got to start. - Yeah, something like that. - Start was just a dude who's slaying a snare drum. - He just had a snare. - Well, I bet he's fine. - I feel like the beginning of the lump song is just a lot of the cymbals. - You know what? I could just be envisioning a music video I saw. - Like the only song I know from his guys starts off with just a du, du, du, du, du. - No, that's bear naked ladies. No, that's crash test dummies. - There was this girl. - Yes, sorry, sorry. Yeah, that's crash test dummies. Bear naked ladies is, we have chickens, is the chicken song. - Yeah. - Chicken to Chinese, which we call. - Oh, yeah. - And Presidents of the United States of America, of course, is long, but of course it's peaches. It's, of course, it's a little blue doom buggy. - Yeah, they fucking. - Of course it's the third one you mentioned, third one. - My mock five, what else? - That might be from the second album. I followed it all the way to number two. - Yeah, that, I mean, you say that, but that band actually kind of fucking ribs. Peaches, rocks. - Oh, pot you at, pot you at say, they're one of the best. - Lump is a party starter for sure. - That album, their first album is literally flawless. - Is it called the Presidency in the United States? - Yeah, and it's got, it's got like the golden little statues. - Like, when they do it, like, when they do it, like, um, like the frog. - And what decade was that? - The 90s. - Do I make bald guys sing? - Yes, he actually, the lead singer, the bald guys in the 90s singer. - The lead singer, Michael Stipe, live. - True, they looked very similar. The lead singer actually went on to become, like, like, I did, but he became a kid's, a kid song for me. - Was that a sling bling for, he said slinger, man. - Go see, all right? - Prish Ritators, okay? - Yo, quick with it. - I want to just say, that's got to be the only sling blade reference ever made in the last. - Five years? - Yeah, five years for sure. - Hey, it is. - Sling blade was such a moment. - Sling blade is a great film. - I know, but, like, no one talks about sling blade. - They need to. - I think about it. - Absolutely. 100%. It's time to get friends. - It's every five years. - I see Billy Bob Thornton. - Oh, yeah. - Really? - Every time I see him, I think of him. - Oh, yeah. - How fat he was in sling blade. - Well, he wasn't that fat. - You think about that? - He wasn't fat. - He was fat. Yeah, he came way for that. - He's not that fat. He's just. - Have to. - No, no, no. He was a thick bitch. - Yeah. - Not real. - You don't think about Billy Bob Thornton on the red carpet saying, we fucked in on the car the way here? That's the one. - Yes, exactly. - I'm going to clip that goes viral every night. - But that's also what when I see him.
see him doing that. I'm like, that guy right there was sling blade. Yeah. Who was morbidly obese and sling blade? Wow. He was he was in tombstone and tombstone, he was hefty. Who was he in tombstone? He's the guy who gets slapped in the face by I believe Kurt Russell. That's Billy Zane, man. No. Billy Zane is beautiful. He plays the actor. This is top tier. This is important stuff, man. You could look it up, but he's like hard. Look at that link at just fucking sense. That's him. One of you won the Academy Award for sling blade. And look at those chins. That's a jowls. He's got jowls. Come on, man. That's not that bad. No, that's not normal. Pull up Billy Bob, Billy Bob tombstone. Hey, Todd, find a fat photo of Billy Bob tombstone. He's never been fat. He's literally only been fucking cool. Have you seen his photos when he's in like his band? Hey, by the way, oh, so now you think fat isn't cool. How dare you? You're such a fat. I agree. Thank you, Adam. And you know how I feel. I know. I remember in what was at Seattle. Yeah, you fucking took me to town. It was Oklahoma, all right. And I fucking destroyed you. Check this. Check the fucking chat right now. What do we got here? You got a chunky looking. Look at that. BB T. Okay. Is that actually him? Yes. That doesn't even look like him to me. That looks like an actor who kind of looks like Billy Bob Thornton. Hey, Blake, you are so done. Okay, man. That is Billy Bob Thornton. And also Zora. He's he's not that heavy. I think you guys have a, I think you have a really crazy sliding scale from not obese, but he's got jowls. And I believe Adam just said neck. No, he's not obese, but he he looks, you know, he became super thin. Yeah, now he's like rail thing. When he's when he's fucking Holly Berry and Monsters ball. Bony. How do you know these dudes hold entire fucking? Well, he's fucking Holly Berry and Monsters ball. That was I mean, though, I think of the one where he goes, we fucked on the way in the car on the way here. And then I think about him hitting a doggy with Holly Berry. No, my son. And that's what I think of him going French right. Yeah, I actually don't think about that movie at all. That's a great thing. I think about it's the, it's a size of Texas sir from Armageddon. That's him, too. I think about the man who wasn't there. Koen Brothers movie. I think about none of those things, I think about him good. Yeah, being kind of fat. I think about his band. I think about him when he's in his rock band and his cool like he wears. I don't. Is it the match box racers or something? You got that right? You're literally a stalker. No, it's match. Max box 20 is a world famous. It's the box masters way. Do you think that's a double meaning for our little sex masters? For sure, box masters. You dog. Yeah, you dog. Let's just say he's playing the drums. Now the bummer is, is I hear he's like, I hear he's not that cool. Like not that nice of him. And that's that's saddened me because you want it. What do you want him to be for you? I want him to be for me. If I were to work with him, I would want to have a little relationship with Billy Bob and talk about his obesity and how he battled it and how he overcame it. I want him to just be the best he can be in a scene and keep saying, God damn it, Anders. Just fucking say the lines. Oh, you want him to pivot you. Wow, you do a good Billy Bob. Did he's truly obsessed with it? There's no way he wouldn't if I corrected him and it's like, Anders, he'd be like, okay, all right, Anders, I'd go. Fucking no, I would like to see you go toe to toe. Hey, remember, in two, some when you were Billy Bob, then we're fighting. Oh, no, no, I was looking at it. Yes. Very good. Billy Bob for tongue. Done. Okay. A unit. A unit of weight. I like that. I like that. And Durs just said he didn't like doing the podcast just a minute ago. And then he comes out firing on all cylinders. Very good. Five years later, and he's still cracking me up. But hang on, what's crazy is Adam wasn't even, he said slinger and you just said Billy Bob or some shit can't remember. Well, that's a very front that is very front of mind movie to me. I'm constantly thinking about it because one of my greatest heroes is in that movie. Of course, John Ritter is excellent in the film. Yeah, yeah, it's crushes has a not a Mohawk, but like a strange buzz cut. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But he's, is it set in the past or is it set in just a different state? Well, he hasn't said the past or South Dakota. Well, the thing about John Ritter's character is he's a homosexual in a place in where you're not supposed. Yeah. And I can't remember if it's because it's the past or if it's just in a different part of the country. I don't think it's a past. I thought it was just in a state that, you know, that doesn't fly my guy. But also Billy Bob is wearing like a, like a prison outfit the whole movie that seems kind of old school as well. I would, I would like to give a shout out to Nebraska. I've been to Nebraska twice in the last two weeks. And, uh, oh, you were just talking about, I feel like it used to be a place that you wouldn't want to be gay. I ran into so many gay people. They're now, they're husking the corn now. Yeah. Yeah, baby. They're husking more points. The guys are on fire. He really is man. Five years. Uh, Slingley takes place in Arkansas in 1996. So, yes, the past, the past, uh, didn't that movie come out in 1996? Yeah. That was, yeah. Half of the cat show. Oh, oh, so wait a second. You're saying Lincoln is just the gay capital of the Midwest now? No, no, it wasn't Lincoln. I was in, I mean, I was in both places. But, uh, yeah, it's just, I ran into quite a few, uh, gay people move over Columbus for sure. That's awesome. Yeah, inclusive. And what I assume are some of them then. And when you run in these people, you stand strong or you, uh, I don't even know if I need to stand strong in that case. Uh, but you absolutely do. Oh, I do. Oh, yeah. I actually, are we still on? I can't get into it. But if we're still on, I can't get into it, but you sure, you sure do. We're still on where you are. So we don't ever go off. Go off. Yeah. Go off. Okay. We're on for an hour and then five years later, and we don't talk to each other for a while. And so you're saying, you're saying Omaha is inclusive. You're feeling the inclusion. Yeah. Yeah. I really did. I, I really did. In a way that I don't remember, I don't remember in the 90s when I was a kid, it being a place where, uh, it was free to be. You could be yourself where like you would just run into a bunch of gay people. Again, you're running into these swing. What was, how, what was like, how did you know these were gay people? And what were they doing? Were they at the football game? No way. Uh, just stores, bars, bartenders, you know, yeah, it's out and about. Yeah. And I'm not, you know, you know, I didn't, they didn't say, hey, I'm a gay guy, but they just ran it here. There's some, there's some tells. There's some tells. Sure. What are your top, what are your top one tells that someone's gay? Uh, dangly earring. What? No, we'll do one or two dangly earring, dangly earring, dangly earring. I agree unless there's a feather on the dangle. And then you fuck anything. If you have a feather, you'll fuck whatever. You're saying Kyrie Irving. Yeah. Kyrie Irving will fuck anything. He's got a dangly earring. Yeah. For a feather. Who's? Yeah. Probably him and Mr. T who else has a feather. Probably. But, but I feel like athletes don't count because they take, they made too much money too quickly and they take insane swings. Okay. Just absolute bizarre swings. Okay. Like a fashion swings. Yeah. Well, and also you have to, you have to spend your money somewhere. Who do you think is dressing these people? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Makes sense. Makes sense. Oh, I didn't, you guys think it's gay people. Okay. I was going to say. Oh, you walked us into that. I was going to say they're best friends, but okay. Okay. Stylish. Wow. You're really walking into traps, man. Yeah. Yeah. Like later. I didn't realize how much she, how much she. Blake, what's your number one tell that someone's probably a gay person? I don't. Um, I love podcasting. What is it? Let's make some headlines. For me, it's if they're like, fucking a guy. That's not the one for me. Well, that would be number one. I don't see that. I don't see that a lot. I did. Number two is. I was going into not scary farm one time. Me and Chloe was wouldn't actually wear a meeting Blake and his ex wife. It was that same night. Blake. Okay. Uh, we were going in and Chloe was meeting your wife or ex wife for the first time and she was a little nervous and we were going in and I look over and there's two lines to get into the parking area and we're in one line. This car right next to us was obviously in the other line. I look over. One man has bent over the dash and the guy who was driving the car was fingering his asshole. Wow. Just blasting it. He might have sat on something, lost something. Yeah, was he get maybe he something was stuck? Well, you don't know. I don't know if he lost his keys in there or what what was up his ass, but it certainly seemed like it was leaning. It was leaning. Yeah, you can always do that. Yeah, you can assume things, but you never draw a total line in this. Yeah, you don't know. There's a strong strong probability, but I don't know. Do you guys like when there's somebody [BLANK_AUDIO]
you just don't know. I don't know. This is five years stuff, man. This is heavy five years stuff. What are you asking brother? I might have to listen to this one back. Hold on, what are we? What are we on the glasses? I'm gonna start. You meet somebody. I love Blake has glasses without frames that he uses for dress up on zooms. You meet somebody and they have the equivalent of what you would call a feather earring. And so you are going, "All right, okay." So you're saying like when you meet somebody and you go like, "What's this person's story?" Right. So Blake with those glasses right now. Yes. Yeah. If we didn't know Blake and we just met him and you're like, "Are you talking to him?" And you're like, "Huh." Right. Those glasses don't have frames in them or glasses rather. A lot of what you guys are talking about are fashion choices. And is that so they can be fucked through my eye? So you can take a dick straight to the eye? Well, I never thought of that. But yeah, I mean, yeah, I think what we're talking about here and I don't want to put words or anything in your mouth on us. Wait a minute. Why are we here then? Yes, points! What are we even doing? You're talking fashion. You're talking fashion choices. No, I'm talking vibe. And then, but then they say something like, "My girlfriend or my wife or my kids?" And you go, "Hmm." Yeah, I think that happens a lot, a lot, a lot. Yeah, I think that happens a lot. I think it's just interesting because in my mind, I go, "Okay." But in the other back of my mind, I go, "Hey, man, as soon as you're out, great." It's fun. Yeah, we don't care. But also, I think sometimes, you know, they, I mean, that's kind of best case scenario for these guys, right? If they swing both ways, they get a wife. It's easier to walk through society if you're like, "Yeah, my wife." And, you know, you know, some people are homophobic or whatever, you can always be like, "Hey, I got a wife." But then, these wives are cool. If they don't, if they know that, they know they're gay. And then, and then they'll probably let you go fuck dudes. It's just kind of the best of both worlds. And I'm like, "Okay." But I'm also like, "Do they know?" Or they both like, "No, no, no. They're figuring it out. Yeah, I know. I don't know, man. I don't know. Blake, how's it work for you? That, I feel like I just try to live my truth, man. Yeah, just try to live my truth. I'm in prescription list. What does that mean? Yeah, behind those glasses with, without actual, what do they call it? Just the glasses, right? What do they call the lenses? Lenses? Lenses? One of the frames. Lenses and frames? The frames are what you're wearing. The, the frames, the lenses are what they're not in there. Because the lenses are scratched. I've, you know, I, I have these by my side just in case I need to do some prop comedy. But yeah, again, these are Teddy's old glasses from a long time ago. Vintage. I think I remember those super scratched. Yeah, they're very scratched. And then was it hard to get the lenses out? Or did you have to like, crush them? No, they pop right out. People pop right out. And you kept those. Yeah, I keep, I keep everything. Because it's like keeping a little piece of Teddy. I keep everything. Oh, that's true. That's right. I keep everything. I'm not a hoarder though. Okay. We'll let that lay right there. First thing I hate about eulogies is they never actually tell church. I'm Dave and I've been it for my life. A year later, he convinced me to make a podcast with him this podcast. Okay, so here we go. We didn't know what we were doing. So we just started recording. We discussed cancer since the radiation I lost about 10 more pounds. We fought. Yeah, this is me off. And we talked openly about the fact that David was going to die. I am afraid of being forgotten. My brother David is the story of the last chapter of my brother's life. It's weird and messy and vulnerable. And I'm going to share all of it with you. The constant back and forth battle about how do I, how do I not just be alive, but actually live. Listen to my brother David on the iHeartRadio app Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. For more than a century, Miss America sold the country of fantasy. Well, are you ready ladies? Okay, here we go. But over the past decade, the crown's been slipping. They said goodbye to swimsuits. Now, hello to lawsuits. I'm Bridget Armstrong. Last season, we took you inside the world of America's next top model. Now I'm back with season two of this podcast, Curse of Miss America. Investigating the rise, fall, and uncertain future of one of America's most iconic institutions. The Miss America patent. I never received scholarship. I need to pay for my student loans. He looks at me and goes, you don't look like you suffered an eating disorder. It's great, but looks too ethnic. It's a story the Miss America organization really doesn't want us to tell. An exploitation of our Miss America's is treated by the Miss America organization as an attack on Miss America itself. Listen to the Curse of Miss America on the iHeartRadio app Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast. There are thousands of podcasts that can tell you how to better yourself. Get worse with Kyle Prue is not one of those podcasts. But if you're interested in blackmail, love bombing, cloning yourself, or getting revenge, then we've got a little something, something for a dastardly individual like you. Take a listen to some of the incredible advice we've given so far. Fake a back injury. Get the spray tan, up your alcohol consumption. Only women should be allowed to have guns. Kill them. Kill them. Kill the gun. Listen, it's already over. I'm all about lying if it's something that really happened. The next time a bear is running at you, you just calmly stop what you're doing. You look the bear in the eye and you say this isn't you. Do not preserve relationships. You don't need them. You only need one thing and that's the Get Worse podcast. Listen to Get Worse with Kyle Prue on the IHR Radio app Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. We're back. I actually had a quote that I it's going to take me a while to find that was about hoarding that I wanted to send you guys because you guys have accused me of being a hoarder. Well, you're a Uber collector. You're not a hoarder where you keep like pizza boxes and trash around. Here we go. But you do keep everything, which an ex-girlfriend called me a hoarder. Actually, I'm a collector and I archive and that spoke to me. I do collect. I have my comic book collection. I have my figurines and then I archive things that I think are important to not only myself, but maybe maybe that later in life, you guys would be like stoked on. Yes. And I will say, sometimes you'll bust out a t-shirt like from our lives, something from Game Overman or Workaholics or even older than that that I'll be like, oh shit. Yeah, I should have said that shirt. That was awesome. Great job. Great job. Thank you. But you know, it's a lot of work for maybe the three times that's happened in my life. You don't have to do that for us. I know it's my burden, but when I see light up for that, you know, when you see the t-shirt for just for that moment, for that moment. Oh, shit. Are those those dice we used to have at the house? Fuck. All right. Cool. I have to go my little harsh miles and it makes it all worth it to me. Happy five years. Happy five year anniversary to us. What was happening five years ago? My global pandemic. That's right. And we got to what happened is we got so bored during the pandemic that we decided to do a podcast. Yeah. And then we just kept doing it. We just kept doing it for five years. That seems kind of crazy. I mean, it's kind of the it's a it's a good deal. You know, it's fine to catch up with my guys. Yeah. Absolutely. When you listen, you know, when they drop these bests of when we, you know, we can't we can't find time in the day to get one of these mother fuckers off. Can't feed the hordes. Yeah. Yeah. Those bests. There's some really funny gold in them hills. Oh, absolutely. Do you listen to the best? Yeah. That's actually the ones I like. Are you archiving? Yeah. I like. I do like the best of. I didn't listen. I didn't listen to this last one, but I do like a best of because you know, you forget about those. If you listen to a podcast that we just filmed a week or two ago, you're like, Oh, I remember this whole damn thing once. Do you really? Once it starts to go. I'm like, Oh, yeah. Yeah. But then a best of I don't remember a thing. Right. And then and then people kind of they listen and they bring up stuff like there was one question where we never solved. I was trying to figure out what singer from the 90s. Yeah. That's very specific, raspy voice. We never answered the question to it. People were like, is it this is it?
The answer was, I remember, it was Richard Marx was the, was the, yeah, yeah. I don't know the, I haven't listened to the newest best of, but I guess that was a question we had left unanswered, but it was Richard Marx. Great head of hair. Oh, incredible. What a catalog. Uh, I feel like we covered him, right? Didn't we, we talked about Richard Marx a lot, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, I feel Richard Marx, he was a good, uh, like roller skating music, like a couple skate, uh, it's a couple skate. Right. You're scanning that you're scanning the floor. You're like, where's my girls, you know, Sarah Perings? Sure. We're Shannon Tomah out there. Okay. Where is that? Where is that one? I never let her have my life. Where's Keegan? Where's Keegan? Neither, Debbie. I gotta, I gotta roller skate, right? Yeah. And even if you're like holding hands and you both fall and you look at each other on the floor in that song, still playing and you look into each other's eyes. You're like, we're never going to forget this. And then your hands, your hands out there and then fucking Ryan John, because bitch ass comes or just in line skates directly over your fingers, dude. What the, well, where'd he get those cool roller blades? Yeah. What are those? What are those? They're so good. Damn. But he kind of, he kind of ruined the moment a little bit. It is kind of that. It is kind of that. Happy birthday at first. Happy birthday to us when they send the like, hey, what do you guys want to title this week's episode? And I read the like seven suggestions or whatever. I'm like, I don't know what these are pertaining to. Yeah. Oh, yeah. No, I never quite remember. They're like zip popping made fun and I'm like, what? Well, because this is all just off the top of the dome, man. They're just freestyle and baby. It is fun when people ask, or like, what's the point of your of your podcast? Like what, what is the idea, the theme or whatever? I'm like, there's, it's called this is important and I'm like, oh, do you have important topics that you cover? I'm like, literally, it's just us talking about bullshit, usually pretty nostalgic from our childhood in the 90s. And they're like, oh, that sounds fucking stupid and I'm like, yeah, I'm a dumbass. That's right. Yeah, my dentist asked me today because he's like, well, what are you doing later today? And I'm like, I got a podcast. He's like, well, yeah. What do you guys talk about? I'm like, don't listen. Please don't listen. Yeah, don't, please. None of your business, don't listen. You have to be have your fingers in my mouth. I just, I don't even want, I don't even want you knowing what I'm talking about. I had an older neighbor double down on it. He goes, no, what's he called? I go, this is important. But I, I don't think you'd enjoy it. And he goes, well, I'll give it a shot. And I go, honestly, don't otherwise it's just to be like weird. And he goes, I'm going to check it out, I'm like, I wish you weren't begging you. So I push him over. I steal his mail. You're done. He went missing. I told you guys that my neighbor, they've since moved, they've sold the house, but because I think he listed the podcast, the neighbor's kids, the neighbor was 96 years old. He since passed away, RIP, Wayland, he was the man, but he passed away. And his kids were, I think in their 60s and the one son was too much for you, like 60s to watch. I'm good to listen to podcasts. And I was like, I don't know, maybe not. And then next time I saw him, he said, I listened to every episode. And I'm like, it's been 48 hours. And he goes, I'm just the kind of, I mean, it was like months and months. But he was like, I'm the kind of guy that I have to start at the beginning or something. So I started at the beginning and I listened to everyone. And he was like, I actually loved it because I love what a friendship you guys have. You can tell that you're best friends. And I fucking cried. And Adam Brosh. And Adam. God. Thing. Happy anniversary. Happy anniversary. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. I hope it's looking good. Blake, I had the 60 year old people here. He's 60, he's not like 90, doesn't sound like that, but happy anniversary to you. Yeah. I mean, yeah, it is the, I mean, it was the funniest podcast of 2023. Three. Yeah. Right. I heard radio. That was kind of our kind of the one of the biggest awards for podcasting. Besides now, it's going to be the golden globes. Oh, my God. What does that mean? God. They're going to give podcasts awards. Oh, they are. Yeah. Oh, this is news to me. The golden globes. And I guess, uh, dust off the tuxedo, they, uh, I guess the ovan is, uh, is like the front, you're going to be a front runner. And then he straight up said, like, I don't, I don't want it. I don't know. Yeah. Okay. Well, easy for her for her to say. I mean, don't you just accept, don't you like, because I get it. It's like, who gives a fuck? But don't you accept it for everyone who like works for you and with you and like puts their time and effort into it to go like, I'm here to represent that. I mean, we, we for sure would go. We'd be stoked. Yeah. And I'd be like, I don't need anyone. Well, yeah. That would be cool. But generally, it doesn't matter like an award is, you know, it is what it is. You don't, that's not why you do it is to be awarded, right? Speak for yourself. What? Uh, why you do it? Why you podcast or why you do anything? Why you do any form, like any form of, I suppose, I guess what I'm saying is when you are awarded, it is a recognition of what you have been part of creating. And so I'm saying, they don't want his whoever to show up. They want him to show up. And if he shows up, it can shine on all these producers who tell their parents what they do. And the parents are like, okay. It gives them a moment to be like, yeah, I saw him say your name and going, whoa, that is very cool. Through these five years, there's no way we could do it without Anna and Todd. And of course, Isaac has been so fundamental. Seminole. I like to say seminal. Seminole and integral. Seminole. And that one time he gave us the list of one thing to talk about, which was just the cruise. Uh, he was like, I'm going to give you a list and then, well, trash bandus and then that real. You remember the list? Yeah. Yeah. The list. Of course. He gave us a list. He told me before the podcast, I'm going to give you a list of like, just things to talk about to bring up. And I'm like, okay. Yeah. And he's like, I'm just going to be more involved on the podcast front. And I'm like, yeah. Hell yeah. What happened? What do you think happened? And he got his feelings hurt. He gave us a list and the list was one one thing long, right? And it was just talk about the cruise and so I'd like to bring up the cruise. Uh, yeah. Absolutely. The cruise. If you were, uh, 20 something to whatever, um, it's leaving Fort Lauderdale to cause a bell. Well done. Mixboards and Adam Ray, Bobby Lee, a ton of great comics. We got some fun bands that's telling Sam J, um, we're going to have, or we're leaving Tampa Bay. Not what I said. Not a lot of daily. Yeah. It's Tampa Bay. It's Tampa Bay. February 27th. February 22nd. It's one of six. Six. I think there's still some cabins available. I think there are. Yeah. I think there are. And and a quick, uh, yeah, more, I guess timely would be November, um, November 20th. Hello. I believe it's the 20th. The Vegas show, baby Thursday, whatever that Thursday is, yeah, baby, it's important. And if Formula One is in town, it's going to be a fucking party. It is going to be very fun. It's going to be an absolute banger, uh, and we've got some very special guests that we're locking in right now. So, uh, please, please, please buy your tickets. Please. And no hints. No hints about who the guest is. No, absolutely not. It's Vegas. It's the city of mystery. Will it be, uh, will I am? Will I am? Will it, will Bruno Mars come pay off some of his debts? Will it be Bruce Willis? Willis. Is Bruno Mars, oh, it's a favor. Oh, no, no, no, no. It's going to pay off some of his debts. That would be cool. Oh, someone tried to come at me about, about the, um, we had a podcast where we talked about who wants to be a billionaire. And I guess it's Bruno Mars. And they were like, it's fucking Bruno Mars. Not the guy who got arrested with his mom for whatever. I'm like, no, that was the Sean King. Things didn't debate. Right. I said that like it's Sean Kingston did the, who wants to be a billionaire. And they were like, it's, what is who wants to be a billionaire or sorry, I don't, I don't know. Beautiful girl. I don't. But these people came at me like hard being like, yo, it's actually Bruno Mars. And I'm like, awesome. You know that. I don't. And we're back. We don't know. It is, it is a crazy. How people will retain information from the podcast. I, I was, uh, just back in Omaha, I do find, I go on a hunt with family and friends. Yes. Oh, once a year and we just did it, there's no drama. If you remember last year, there was a lot of drama. That's great. Uh, we almost weren't invited back this year. We squashed the beef and we are back and we are back killing birds, um, which is so fun. I hate birds too. So I like it. Yeah. He's got a history of hate birds. It is weird to think like I eat a ton of birds. Yeah. And you don't think about that really when you're looking at these murder them murder, murder them. They're good. You know, if you want to come sometimes, Blake, yeah, one year, I always wanted to come. Feel free. I invite his white open for the both of you if you want to go hunting. Okay. Okay. If you want to go, that sounds great. Yeah. Can I smoke weed inside? Absolutely. Let's please God. No. God. Dude, it's just. I got some dads just for the power. Let's fucking dab it. Oh, God. Oh, God. But we just, we just went and we go to this steakhouse every year the night before we leave. Omaha, we stare there the night.
for us so we could leave super early in the morning and make the two hour drive to the cabin. So the night before we go to this steakhouse, the drover, which is a famous steakhouse in Omaha, it's so good. Whiskey marinated, whiskey marinated, my baby, and they've got a sick salad bar set up. Okay. And you know daddy loves the salad bar. Of course all you can eat. Oh yeah. Your boobs are huge. I love that. You can keep going back to the salad bar. It's all on ice. It's fantastic. You can't stop eating. And so I'm there and they're grilling the steaks behind like a partition behind the salad bar. I love that. And this guy goes, what's up Adam? Right. And I'm like, oh shit. Hey man. How's it going? Yeah. And he goes, you're here for the hunt? Right. And I go. Uh, yeah. And he goes, you're here with Mikey and your dad. Yep. And I go. Uh, yeah. Um. Yeah. Actually I am. And he's like, that's sick. Yeah. You said on the podcast that you always roll through with Mikey and your dad. Yeah. And I'm like, fuck yeah, dude. Look, look, and I think the person you're talking about who retained all this is listening right now. Yeah. And I just want you to be careful about how to out how you the tone. I guess the tone. I'm just a little worried about the tone. That shit's important. No, no. I love that. It was fucking awesome. And what I'll call this guy's passion. Yeah. Yeah. About the details. Yes. The second that this guy knew my dad and Mikey of course, of course, uh, passionate man. It threw me. That being said, loves that. It happened. You love being from that. It happened. And I loved. I loved the drover. Big shout out. I made their Instagram. So you know, it's real. Wait. What is the drover's Instagram? I think it's just the drover, like, like, stop. I want to go on the drover right now. What are you? How old? Are you 60? They gave me a hat. I wish I was wearing it. It's a drover steakhouse. Of course, it wasn't at the drover. You can't, you can't get that. What do you mean? It was. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. What are you fucking kicking? And you did. Look at this. I mean, yeah. Look at there. It's massive. Is that the Mikey? That is. The Mikey dude. You guys look great by the way. Thank you. Oh, you got drover hats. Oh, yeah. You got merged out. What is the vibe of the drover? Sounds fancy. Hey, by the way, look. That's their mascot. Just a guy. Is a drover like a cattle drover? It's just a guy frowning so hard. Yeah, he doesn't look happy to be there at all. I love it. I love it. It's the best mascot. Just a fucking guy who's very unhappy. Charles Brossum. He's so tired from working like he can't even smile. It's a nice steakhouse, but it's not. You don't have to be like dressed up. You don't have hats on and people are car heart jackets and shit. Yeah, yeah. Because when you eat somewhere where like you go for breakfast and everybody's there in their camo in the morning before the hunt. But this is a nighttime steakhouse. No, it's a nice steakhouse. It's a nice steakhouse. Got it. It looks delicious. It is. And next time you guys are back in Omaha. Is drover a past tense situation where it's like you're somebody who just drove cattle all day? Like they didn't know the driver. I don't know what the drove. I don't know what that means. I really don't. I'm guessing it's a cattle drover. If this was who wants to be a cattle driver, then they were tired to open a restaurant. And he was like, honey, I'm a drover. And she's like, you drove her crazy, honey. Hey, can you get out there and get the cattle now? I'm a drover now. I don't drive no more. Yeah. Those days are drover. Now I'm cooking steaks and frown in my asshole. A drover is a person who herds or drives livestock, such as cattle or sheep over long distances, typically to market. Okay. Somebody's been on here five years. Look at that. The celebrity jeopardy pays off again. And are you a tenderloin guy? Are you like a strip or are you a, I'm a ribbed, I'm a ribbed man for the most part. I might do a New York strip. I ain't afraid of it, you know? And they're showing some lobster and some crab. You've got to get that Omaha lobster. Where are they getting that from? Where are you pulling that out from? If I had to guess the Missouri River, okay, that's that good old Missouri lobster. Yeah. Things, you're able to get stuff, you know, across the country that it's overnight. Yeah. Yeah. So it's fresh. It's very, maybe increases the price a little bit. No, this is Omaha. Things aren't increased. I doubt it. Yeah. Well, I just know when you buy stuff like in Alaska, it's very pricey because it takes a lot to get stuff out. You got to know their market. Blake, shut the fuck up. Okay. Things are great. Things are fucking great. Okay. Alaska's a different situation. They don't have any taxes. Okay. Okay. Okay. God. God damn it. You just told your family to shut the fuck up. I'm so sorry. I'm alerting the police. I'm so sorry. It's a volume. That's just that. It's my bad. I wasn't trying to dis Omaha, or Nebraska, or Lincoln, any of that. I would say this was maybe my best trip back to Omaha. Okay. We stayed downtown. It was a beautiful day, but like the old market in downtown Omaha, it was just lively. People are out walking. There's bars. There's restaurants. That's like the city center. Yeah. We've been there, right? Where the Italian restaurant is. That's so delicious. Yeah. Oh, yeah. We were there. It was way too cold to. Oh, yeah. I love that place. Oh, why am I blanking on it? The old spaghetti. The meatball factory. Spaghetti factory. Yeah. Spaghetti works. Spaghetti works. Yeah. Oh, the best. The best. The old spaghetti works. Where I ordered a terribly, of course, I got some like pepper, pepper, something, and it was too many peppers. I should have just gone with this, but yeah, that's a little bit of a tourist trap. Yeah. Remember how we've, we've said that you don't order what you should at the place. I'm a terrible order. Yeah. It's my bad. Blake. It's because he doesn't the grain, no, because he doesn't actually want to eat food. He doesn't actually want to hear. Here we go again. Right. Here's what he does. We go to a restaurant. It's a, it's a burger place. Famous for burgers. Love burgers. Known for their burgers. Oh, a side of Asparagus. High order burger. What? Honors orders a burger. And Blake goes, maybe what about their flash fried Asparagus burger? And you're like, huh? Sounds kind of hitters. Yeah. And that's what you would say. That sounds kind of hitters. Uh-huh. I guess I'll order that. And then you get it and you're like, oh, mine's horrible. Can I have a bite? Yeah. Well, you guys don't finish your meals. Yeah. And then, and then you'll be like, can I, can I, can I get a bite of yours? And you're like, I don't finish? Fuck. I don't, I don't know. I mean, I, I, I can voucher your guys' stuff if you don't finish yours. But we finish ours. We can. Good luck. Jacob Achille on the side, playboy. Dude, I'm basically the Billy Bob Thornton of our group, battling obesity every day until I get way too skinny here in the future. Right. Right. Well, I'm getting better at it. Once I get on my GP at GPL, um, ones or whatever, we gotta get it, we gotta get it. What's the GPL one? That's way way govy and all that. There will govy. Yeah. Wait, sorry. Have we talked about this? What's with govy? Did we talk about this? Yes. I don't, I feel like. I know the macros. I don't know. No, no, no. No, no, no, no. We talked about what's the number one brand. I can't even, like, you're either fat and I don't like it. Oh, it's ozemic. It's ozemic, bruh. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yes. Which we should all get on it. I would like to see how skinny Blake is. By the way, I, I do love the idea of us being like, have you heard of it? Yeah. I mean, I, I, are you on it? Are you on it? Yeah. If you're on it, I'm on it. But are you on it? I don't know, shame in the game, right? There actually is. There's a lot of shame in the game. Like, because why? Because why? I don't know. I don't think there should be. But I think a lot of people don't talk about it. They just say, yeah, I went to my doctor and they said I should stop doing all these things. And I did wink, wink, and I lost 40 pounds and 30 days. This is the only shame I see in any of these games as far as like if you're getting like any sort of like Botox or ozemic or you change yourself. There's no shame in it. Do whatever the fuck you want. If it's really expensive, okay, maybe it's like, yo, you're spending so much money on this stuff. It seems a little unimportant because you're beautiful the way you are. You know what I mean? Uh, but also what is your point? Yeah. If it's expensive, you shouldn't do it. Even if you're wildly rich, it's all relative. That's where I would see the shame where you're like, wait, we're just like, wait, how much money do you spend on the way you love it? Yeah, but if you have money. So what if you're a billionaire, then money doesn't matter. Yeah. I could see shame in that if you were like someone who like shouldn't be spending that much money on that kind of stuff, that seems like maybe a shameful act to me. So it's you. It's about money. Yeah. If you can't afford food for your children, but you uh, can inject yourself with skinny cereal. You might be a rent. Yeah. If you pay to get some wee goby though, you're not eating and then your kids can eat. Well, you can regover your kids. First thing I hate about Ulysses is they never actually tell the Turks. I'm Dave and I've been an ass for my life. This podcast. Okay. So here we go. know what we were doing so we just started recording. We discussed.
cancer. Since the radiation I lost about 10 more pounds. We fought. Yeah, pisses me off. It's weird and messy and vulnerable and I'm gonna share all of it with you. The constant back and forth battle about how do I, how do I not just be alive, but I should live. Listen to my brother David on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. But more than a century, Miss America sold the country a fantasy. Well, are you ready, ladies? Okay, here we go. They said, goodbye to swimsuits. I never received a scholarship. He looks at me and goes, you don't look like you suffered in the eating disorder. An exploitation of our Miss Americas is treated by the Miss America organization as an attack on Miss America itself. Listen to the Curse of Miss America on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Get worse with Kyle Pru is not one of those podcasts. So if you're interested in getting thinner, going to therapy, starting peptide, setting boundaries, taking supplements, making your better, getting closer, then I would humbly recommend other podcasts. But if you're interested in blackmail, love bombing, cloning yourself, or getting revenge, then we've got a little something-something for a dastardly individual like you. Fake a back injury, get the spray tan, up your alcohol consumption. Kill 'em. Kill 'em. Kill 'em with a gun. You don't need them. You only need one thing and that's the GetWorks podcast. Listen to GetWorks with Kyle Pru on the IHR Radio App Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. I wonder if you can get it's called GLP-1. If you can get a GLP-1. How am I in for the two? And mix it with testosterone. Now that's something that I would inject. Yellow. Can we get, hey, all those pharmaceutical, those bro pharmaceutical reps listening. What's up? Is there five here? Can we brand something? Can we do a double whammy where it's just the T, mix with the G, L, P? Geniuses. And get this going. And it's just called, it's called Daddy's Milk Shake. Oh, Daddy's Milk Shake. Oh, it's a little bit like that. That's something I would slurp. It's the cause of diarrhea. You know Daddy's looking to slurp. Yeah, I want to slurp. Comes full circle. Let Daddy slurp on his milk shake. Do you guys see the Instagram feed with the guys like, I stopped people on the street or in shape, but I ask them how they do it. Yeah, I don't. And I love that there's so many older guys that are like, I work out five days a week. Also taking a ton of testosterone. And you go, all right, well, it's almost not all. But like, it's a lot of these older guys are like, I'm on testosterone. What do we, okay? Yeah, the. Your boobs are huge. Any old guy that's actually very jacked is on testosterone. Right. Or their Italian. And there's no shame in that. Or their Italian man. I feel there's less shame in testosterone than the ozemic. Well, maybe you would feel shame if your body doesn't naturally produce it. You feel like less of a man. That's a shame element for some men. Oh, Blake. Adam and I actually don't like have that problem. Some men are ashamed at the Super Bowl day. Yeah, the day after day. And they just kind of have to eat it and be. And then they're told now that there is no shame and that it's fine to take. Well, Blake, there's no shame in you having little to no testosterone. I don't think there was. I never thought there was until the Super Bowl where it seemed like I was kind of chastised about not it. Is that. Well, yeah, sure, chastised. Dude, the shame came. The shame, I think, the funny part was how devastating you were when the numbers came in and yours was the lowest. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Because you know, it's a large margin. You know, this is fun because it is a five-year anniversary and I kind of wanted to touch upon our favorite moments. Yeah, yeah. And you're saying there wasn't shame, but hero after hero was brought on to stage with the Johnny. It was Joey Chessna, Donovan McNeath, and you paraded and berated me in front of these people. And it didn't feel good. And we even went on with. Paraded, cast-rated. Even Flutey, Doug Flutey, who is pro T. He does the New Genics commercials. Of course, Doug Flutey. Did you say New Genics? It's New Genics, right? Okay, good. I thought you said something else. Okay. They said, "You Genics commercials." Different commercial. I don't know what that is. I don't even know what that is, but New Genics. So he's happy five years. Sixty-nine. So he does the New Genics commercials. And he's pro, he's all about the T. So we're talking T with Mr. T. Yeah. Yeah. Sip in the T with Mr. T. But then we went on like Cam Newton's podcast and you kind of paraded it out there. And it was the way you were presenting it. And I kind of recall you saying like, who has the least amount to you? Who's like the biggest bitch of the group? Like stuff like that. No, no, no, I was saying. You think Cam Newton has more testosterone than us? Well, yeah, absolutely. Combined. Well, I don't know, because I look at those hats and I go, that seems like a low-team move. Right. Hot, hot, hot. Because it's your peacocking. So you're like saying like, hey, look at me. Yeah, like look at me. And you think that that's an estrogen? And I feel like that's what Blake's kind of doing with the hair. This kind of brings us back to the start of the pod where you're saying, you know, you look at someone. You're like, what's their story? Uh-huh, sure. And are they, are they closet? Mm-hmm, right? Yeah, but no. I don't think that's the case. So just so I can get the headline right here, you think Kim Newton's got a feather earring. I think he could rock one very easily. Like I can rock anything. And if you go, if you rewind the pod, I wouldn't assume anything about him because of that. Just so many pretty good quarterback. Yeah. Well, I don't assume anything about anyone. I've seen Hallfaylor. I've never made an assumption. I don't know. I don't know if he's footballed that well, but he's great. But I think Dress is insane. He's on first take a lot here lately. I've been watching. He wears like multiple vests, like three or four vests. Yeah. And then sweaters underneath it. And then like a, like a bow tie. Yeah. And then it was insane hat. I'm like, what is happening, Shagged Day? Look, when, when you're worth $300 million or whatever, you're like, I'll take all four of those vests. I'll wear them all now. I guess so. You gotta take swings. You gotta take swings to make trends, to start trends, man. Otherwise, is that what it's all about starting a trend? Yeah. Sure. Don't you wish you started six seven? He has, man, it's killer. Mine, I would like to start five eight, five eight. Good luck. Good luck. Yeah. Five eight. You maybe five eight. You just got to the root of what six seven is. I'm sure this is covered on you. Yeah, it's a song. And then it was a, then it was like a kid saying it at some sports game that that got me my fighter, whatever. Hey, guys in the comments. Come at me. I don't know. And if you know where to go, but I think it's that. Okay. What's the rapper saying? Trilla, Trilla, Zilla, Squilla. Something like that. You are so old. I should not know these things. And it's okay. Have a shot. If you're anniversary. Two. So the sonatros sound there. CII nation still strong. Holding strong. Like they're at a sticks concert with their dad. I know it doesn't make sense. The way children use it. I love it. I think it's cool. I think it's fun that kids are just like six, seven, six, seven. I like that they're doing their own thing. Yeah, you know, it gives you. You know, we didn't, you know, some all kinds of dumb shit. Yeah, we were always like saying suck it. We were asking everyone to suck our dick. Well, but yeah, but that's, I mean, that's timeless. That's not going out of style. Well, yeah, you shouldn't do it to random strangers. It seems problematic. Which you would, you would. I remember we would do it in the mall. We would just walk around the mall and just fucking go out to random people and just say suck it. You're like, man, it's just that that's just like a mom with her two young children that we just said suck it. It's like a 13 year old. And also half the people doing it. Don't realize how literal it is. Yeah, the message is very clear on suck it. Because you're like, oh, things suck like that sucks. And you're like, oh, suck it. It's like, as a kid, you had no idea. What we were saying, but we were literally telling moms
was small children who have their hands full with bags walking in and out of sears to suck it right over and over and over and we would laugh and laugh and not quite realize how fucking insane that is

In October, 2021, my brother David was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. This podcast, my biggest year is that I am afraid of being forgotten. And I'm gonna share all of it with you. Okay. So here we go. Listen to my brother David on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's all just a joke. I'm Bridget Armstrong, back with season two of the podcast, Curse of Miss America. He looks and he goes, "You don't look like you suffered in the eating disorder." I never received a scholarship. Maybe this is the meta question for the podcast. Why does Miss America at this point? Get worse with Kyle Proo is not one of those podcasts. So if you're interested in getting thinner, going to therapy, starting peptide, setting boundaries, taking supplements, making you better getting closer, then I would humbly recommend other podcasts. If you're interested in blackmail, love, bomb, and cloning yourself, or getting revenge, then we've got a little something, something for a dastardly individual like you. Listen to Get Worst with Kyle Proo on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human.
