Ep 275: Smile For The God Damn Camera

The podcast transcription features a collection of satirical and often absurd segments hosted across multiple "I Heart" shows, including "Curse of Miss America," "Out of Character," "Get Worse," "Everybody's Business," and others. Central to the content is a critical, humorous examination of cultural institutions—the Miss America pageant is scrutinized for its promises of empowerment and scholarships, which many participants report failing to deliver. The hosts use parody and absurdity to question societal norms, such as the role of romance, political figures, and even personal identity. A recurring theme involves the satirical exploration of conspiracy theories, historical knowledge, and the evolution of marijuana culture, where past stoner experiences are contrasted with modern, regulated consumption. The tone remains consistently playful and self-aware, blending personal stories with exaggerated commentary on topics ranging from AI-generated porn to the history of American colonies. Through these segments, the podcasts critique mainstream narratives by highlighting contradictions, absurdities, and the often-unspoken rules of modern culture. The overall message is one of ironic engagement: the value of these stories lies not in their factual accuracy, but in their ability to provoke thought and laughter through satire.

Welcome to This Is Important, a production of "I Heart" Radio, the show where we only talk about what is most obviously very crucially important. Today on "This Is Important". Yeah, I'm not wearing pants. I'm jacking off. My dick is in my hands, everyone. I have my cell phone up my ass, and I keep telling my girlfriend to text me. I'm actually fucking my dog underneath the table. Let's go. I missed you guys. I'm gonna come. Do not tell anyone I missed you guys. What's that about, dude? I don't know, dude. If you're tuning into the YouTube channel. Adam's being telefunny. I saw a video of Miley Cyrus, like on some. I'm on a few. I've lingered a little too long on a few conspiracy videos. Now the algorithm's like, "You like conspiracy videos?" No, I'm not. It says that Miley's an alien. She's like a lizard person. Can you imagine? Reptoid? Because she on the couch of. I think it was like a Conan O'Brien on Conan or something when he had his talk show. She sat down and she was like, "Ahhh! Ahhh! Ahhh!" Like being goofy with her tongue when she was like, "Ahhh!" Tongue is super long. Remember her tongue phase? She was like, "I'm gonna make the tongue my thing." She started it, but she invented the tongue. She invented the tongue. She was like the first one to do the tongue. Yeah, and so now my thing is I want people to now think I'm a lizard person. Okay. You're almost there. You gotta be a little more famous. I think they're gonna just think you're on ecstasy. No, I think that's right. I think I'm not famous enough to think I'm a lizard person. You have to be so. Like very famous in order for people to be like, "Oh, it's like when they said Tom Hanks was the one who is in charge of the pedophile rings or whatever." Can you imagine? They pick like the guy who's least likely to be in charge of the pedophile rings, but the most famous. Yeah. Well, that's why they picked him. That's the guy from Howard the Duck. Oh, yeah. Yes, it's that guy. From Ferris Bueller's Day Off, from Deadwood, that guy. Oh, yeah, yeah. It's not Tom Hanks. That guy was caught with child porn on his computer. Yes, that's correct. Yeah, yeah. Allegedly. Allegedly. I told you. Not even allegedly. Literally. The name is Jeffrey Jones. Bring up a photo of Jeffrey Jones here, Todd. I feel like we've covered this because we pulled it a little bit before we go. I mean, look at this guy. He's the guy. Dude, we have. We have. - Not even for John. - No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, anything for the movie. So if we could, if this is actually a good, a good, like, program for prisons or whatever, it's like central cashing, see, uh, we don't need that. I go into the prison and I'm casting a real pedophile, yeah, real deal to be a children's principal. I've always thought there would be really cool. If like, the prison system was, um, if they made a prison, make a children show, I thought that would be like a really good idea. Like why are you saying that here? Don't even say that out loud. I'm sorry. That's such a great idea. You got to keep that. I think that would be really cool. You got to take this to like, who are the stand-ups that do prisons? Like Jeff Ross. Jeff Ross. That's worthy. Jeff Foxworthy. Jeff Dunham. They're all the Jeffs. All the Jeffs. Jeff Dye. Jeff. Jeff, who's the other guy? Talks really fast. What guy? Wait, who's the guy with the puppets? He's the guy who don't stand up around the same time as you Adam. Isn't his name Jeff? Fuck. He was like off the wall energy. Well, whatever. No, that's Kyle. Kyle. Yeah, you're right. Kyle. Yeah, Jeff Kyle. Guys, who's the guy with the puppets? Please. Jeff Dunham. We've covered that, Jeff. Yeah, you got to keep up, buddy. We've already. Sorry. Sorry. Jesus. It's early over here. I'm too out of it. Looking at Jeffrey Jones in the chat, it's off-putting. Yeah. Yeah. Like, I don't like him being here with us. In the chat. You want him out of the chat. Yeah. If we could delete that photo there, Todd, thank you. Oh, Beetle juice. I mean, the guy is good. Dude. Yeah. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Thank you. Thank you, Todd. Um, the go. Yeah. When you smile, like, let's go ahead on that. Yeah, let's go ahead. Kyle, like you're trying to break your teeth, like you're biting. Yeah. If your smile is a bite, you might be a pedophile. When do you, uh, learn the, it's crazy to see, you know, because I went on Facebook for the first time in months and first time in months. I went on Facebook and you see your friends' kids and you like friends that I haven't seen since high school, you know, and they just don't know how to smile yet. And you're like, the kids, they smile like they bite. Yeah. They're like, when you learn like what, what a, what a smile is or, I think there's two smiles, right? There's the smile you make when you're smiling. And then the smile you do when you're told to smile. Yes. Yes. Yes. Right. And I remember being told the smile, like for photos, like stand up smile, like you're ruining those, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We don't do this shit at all. For us, it's like, all right, we're taking the picture. However you look in this picture, how you're going to look? And if you want to look insane or like you want to look grumpy or whatever, not smile, that's what it is. Right. And we just do okay. You're a monster. That's my. I'm not saying like, I'm not saying, no, listen, I'm not saying we say like, okay, we're taking a picture now. However you want to look, but like we just don't force the kids to like become something in the moment that they're like, because then they're like, what? I don't want to fucking smile. So progressive. Well, it's just like, we're really going to start like telling them how to look. Just like just, hey, we're going to take a picture. So I want to look if you want to make a crazy face. Great. We're going to look back 20 years from now and go, God, you were always a little goofball. And now you're now, it's your funeral. Yes, sir. I'll check sound. Oh, check sound. It all checks. Wow, dude. Yeah. I mean, I feel like we came from a generation where you were supposed to smile during pictures, but you do go through what ages it went like, you fuck up. By the way, I'm going to do that. I know I'm not going to let. I'm not going to say fucking smile. Smile for the fucking picture. Smile for the goddamn camera. Smile for the pic. Yeah. I just say something funny. Instead of telling them this mile, I try and say something funny. And it works every time. Okay. Funny, dad. What funny bits you have. Cause I'm, you know, I, the Bose still so young, it's, I'm, we're still at the level of like, are you a poopoo head and he'll lose his shit? I mean, yeah, no, no, dude, it's right up that, it's right up that, it's right up there with that. It's like, it never changed. Okay. All right. We're going to take that and nobody fart. Please nobody fart during this and then they're the laughing. Whatever. It's something goofy, you know. Yeah. Art comedy. Art comedy. That would work on me. That is so good. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Hold in your farts. I mean, hold in your farts. You got me, Giggle and Charlize Theron is right next to you. She's gigging. You know Charlize. So wait, or, or are you saying you're a photographer and you're like, Charlize, over here, over here. Okay. Hold in your farts. Okay. Just hold in your farts. Do not fart. Do not fart. Oh, that's good. Oh, fuck is this? Why are you saying I'm a photographer because I'm not famous enough to be on the red carpet next to Charlize? Well, yeah, cause I'm like, wait, what movie is in your mind where you're sharing a red carpet with Charlize? No, this is just like an M2B movie awards where this is a cat. I don't call where it's just one after another. I know, but why is she listening to you next to, I'm saying like, as the person who's putting together the photo, which is what we do as a family member. Yeah, that's right. That's right. Sure. But I was thinking, you know, sometimes inside of her, I guess I was sort of thinking that I'm in a movie with Charlize. I'm a big dreamer. Okay. And I'm in this movie with Charlize and Mad Max, you're standing right next to her. Or I would probably be three people away from her. Okay. Okay. No one fart. Do you think? Oh, you're saying that in a group photo. In a group photo. Oh, god. Do you think in a group photo and it's Charlize? It's Benicio del Toro. It's, uh, I mean, who else, like maybe name three other big actors? Josh Gads. Okay. Josh Gads laughing. I got a feeling Josh Gads is going to say something funnier than you. Sorry. Oh, he's going to one up. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, probably smarter for sure. Funnier? I don't know. He's going to hold in your farts and he's and no one's going to laugh and he's going to say too late. Oh. Yeah. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. And everyone's going to be smiling the photo except for you like this. Just. Right. You got dad again. Fucking dad. He pulled out a Jeffrey Jones. Dad zoogs. Uh, you know, the, I just read a thing that, dad, the gaddenator and, uh, Cure's Christian Bill or Kristen Bill, Kristen, how you, I think it's Kristen Bell. Speak your truth. Frozen. They're going to make $30 million per movie for the next two movies. So $60 million. Hold up. Wow. Okay. Isn't that. And by the way, I tried to watch Frozen the other night. I was like, Hey, Bill, let's fire up frozen. It's mid. It's mid. Unwatchable. It's mid. Oh, yeah. It's way mid. Let it go or let it snow or whatever. That is. No, no, no, the songs, it stuck with me and I'm walking around the house all the sudden. I'm just like doing my shit going like, and I go, and I go, does this lap? It slaps. Mm-hmm. But the movie itself, I'm like, this shit's kind of fucking boring. Yeah. It's no monster's ink. God, no. God, no. What are we doing here? It's not toy story. Three. It's no toy story. One, two or three. Wait. So is monster's ink? Monster's ink is gray and bow loves monster's ink. Interesting. He's really good. He walks around the house all day long. Monster? Monster. Is that because he thinks you're a monster? Right. Yeah. Maybe. Yeah. And he loves it. He loves it. So daddy's my monster. Yeah. He's not scared. He's not scared. If you have to find anything, he's really scared of. Maybe I got to run that one back. I never really. It's good. As Blake would say, I never really fucked with it. Okay. Yeah. I mean, dude. It's pretty damn good. Oh, check it out. Mike Wachowski. I mean, Coco. Coco. After Coco, I'm like, what do we even need to watch? Okay. Coco would be in my top 25, right there. There's no doubt. I have not seen Coco. Dude. Coco is hardcore. I am excited. What I'm really excited about having a child is watching all these movies. I was off the Pixar train after I watched up, and that was the last Pixar movie I've ever seen. Even before then, it was, I watched Toy Story, and I watched Up, and I didn't see another Pixar movie. And I'm out. And I said, "Lay Tro." I was just a little old. I got back into it, obviously, with kids. Yeah. And now I'm like running through them, like, really enjoying it. And I'm bummed when, 'cause we don't like Bo, like, watch hours and hours of movies. So we'll watch 40 minutes before bed when he's having his milk. And I'm like, well, do I keep running this movie back? Or do I pause it? Or do I watch The Res of Bo tomorrow, like, thank you for finishing it. I think Daddy stays up. You double-dip. I think Daddy stays up with his milk. I'm saying. Yeah. Daddy's milk. I don't know what I'm saying. Do you know what I'm saying? Do you guys, are you guys alcoholics? We know Blake is, but Anders, do you have a nighttime drink every night? Your boobs are huge. I've been drinking some cans lately. Yeah. That's what I drink. I drink cans. C-A-N-N-S. I mean, I'm an investor, so I have to disclaim that, but it is so fucking delicious and a little cannabis beverage. Did I hear that those are no longer legal in California or something? Trump's coming for him. Yeah. Something's happening. Yeah, something's happening. You know, with all the money that I have invested, which is more than I probably should have, I may be overextended myself because of the love I have for cans. And then we were number one microdose beverage in the country, and then now Trump has gone and forced for whatever reason. We didn't pay the piper enough because he was saying he's going to make weed legal. And then he backpedals and saying all the shit's illegal. I was having trouble getting it like delivered to me. Like they were like, we don't ship to your area, but then Emma figured it out. Oh, yeah. The small weed everyday. Donor that she is. And we get it just delivered. So like, we got to finish them and Emma likes the cans too. I like this. She doesn't like it as much as me. Not as much as me. No, no, no, no, no. And I like that you like cans as well. I didn't know that. Every night, I just am like, takes the edge of, I don't, I don't drink that much anymore. Yeah. I just am like, oh, I see you. Yeah, but like, I just don't, I just don't do it. But when like I'm getting the kids ready for bed, I'm slamming a can. And hopefully it kicks in by the time I'm under the covers. Mmm. I love that. Yeah. No, I'm kind of with you. I don't, I don't really drink when I'm just at home chilling. Like I've never been like a nightcap drinking type guy. That often, every once in a while, I'll just chug vodka right before bed. Just to feel something. That's good. Just to feel nothing. Just to get the heart moving. Yeah. Just to make those. No, no, no, no. It's been, I drink, but I don't drink one. I drink like five. Yeah. But you know what's weird? I, I even, um, in Vegas when we drink a bunch, hello, my hangovers aren't what they used to be. My hangovers, when I was younger, my hangovers used to be like epic. And you're saying they're getting better. Yeah. Oh, wow. Lucky dog. I just feel like groggy the next day and I don't know if it's because I'm not drinking as much or and like used to go ham or what, but like I used to wake up being like catatonic. It's not, you know, I mean, uh, well in Vegas, I was wildly hungover. And I also for whatever reason, just and I would did not do cocaine. I know it's going to sound like a good cocaine, but I did, but I did not sleep. It was like, you know, sometimes when you're drunk, you just will wake up at four o'clock in the morning and then you're up and you can't go back to bed and you're like, well, what the fuck? What happens to me, kind of often now when I drink and I'm like, this sucks. Sleep is most important. What is that? They say it's like the sugar wearing off or something from some bullshit. I think what I realized is if I go to go suck in your dick is what it is. Go ahead. If I go to sleep drunk, I don't get any sleep. That's even worthwhile. So it just seems like I didn't sleep, I just get terrible sleep. I don't wake up early or anything, I just feel like I haven't gone to bed. So. So Todd just put in the chat here about the new THC limits on Hemp Derived Fuck marijuana drinks. And I think this will affect can. I'm not exactly sure, but I talked with the owner of can and he said it will affect us, but don't worry, we're figuring it all out. And so I'm like, okay, what does that mean, but we were in circle case. We were in grocery stores, you could go to a Whole Foods and pick up cans. And we were in these stores where you can also just buy a case of ear and you could grab some cans. And now I guess it's going to take a year for the band to go into effect. Now you can't do that and you have to get it from the dispensaries, which is annoying and does suck. And, or you can go to website as I said, but do you think this is like if Bud Weiser as in like Bud Weiser doesn't get in this game with a name like Bud Weiser, they're blowing it. They're blowing it. They're blowing it. And the cans are green. These youngsters aren't drinking like they used to. They might be drinking some weed though, so get in their fucking game. Your name is Bud Weiser and makes perfect sense, it makes perfect sense. Yeah. I don't understand the weed hate. It was the fact Trump just must have got a truckload of money from the alcohol companies, the lobbyists. You think they're going nuts? And he must have been straight paid and that, I mean, that makes perfect sense. And then all of a sudden, he reversed course on marijuana when he was saying, I don't carry it. I think it should be legal. And then now all the sudden, these drinks, which are very tame. It's not like they're 50 milligrams. You got to drink two to be like, I'm stone. So you have to drink several. You can't drink one and feel stoned. Yeah. No, no, no. Maybe Baron got into a case. It's like drinking a beer. You don't drink one and something you're drunk. You got to drink 11. 12. You got to like, and you're the big, go for a drive. I like this. The face of the company has signed off on it. Go 11, deep. You got to go 11. You got to drink 11. Oh, yeah. They're delicious. What they call tall boys or something like that, they're called high boys. High boys. High boys. And then now they have the bigger ones that are called not even bigger, drink-wise, but they're-- Make a grandma. Tank dogs. No, they're called higher boys. Oh. Nucky grandma. Higher boys. Okay. Give me higher, baby. Jackie Wilson. Hi. Hi, baby. I've got to slam one of those. I'm Hamza. And I'm Martin. And we're the host of Out of Character. It's a podcast. I know there's a lot of them going around, but why should you listen hours? Well, we're only the best podcast in the entire world, and we talk about pretty much everything under the sun. For example, music we're listening to, underground music, trending music, drama in music worlds. Yes, sometimes we even talk about just everyday mundane situations in our lives, like the cool Uber driver we just had, or the food we just say that is surprisingly delicious. Or we'll talk about the Med Gala and the looks that they wore. Are they awesome? Are they trendy? Come find out. Because our opinion matters. And so does yours. And this is a place where all of our minds can come together and connect. So what are you waiting for? Come connect with us. Listen Out of Character from Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network. On the I Heart Radio app, Apple Pods, 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. And he looks at me and goes, you don't look like you suffered in the 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 is treated by the Miss America organization as an attack on Miss America itself. Listen to the Curse of Miss America on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. That horse with Kyle Peru 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. 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 them with a 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 Peru on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. You ambush me and join a sign, man. I'm Stacey Vannick-Smith. I'm Max Chaffkin. We are both journalists at Bloomberg Business Week. And our podcast, everybody's business, binds the meanings behind the numbers. That's right. Like, why is ice cream so expensive now? There is currently ongoing ice cream inflation as we speak, that is absolutely a thing. Is Polymarket, the new stock market? The source of prediction markets is the U.S. government. The U.S. government decides they're going to see if people can bet on terrorism. And Max, will we ever retire, or will we be doing this podcast forever? Saving is hard, and if you're going to choose between buying your kid's shoes today, or putting that money away for the future, you might buy the kid the shoes, because the kid needs shoes. Because decoding the money, power, and influence that moves the world is everybody's business. Listen to everybody's business on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. It's Dramas, and I want you to meet the disruptors who are setting today's trends and discover those who are building what's next. People like Sebastian Yatra. Life is on the other side of fear. Introducing Global Flow, a new podcast where I sit down with disruptors across music, entertainment, business, and tech. To break down what they're building, get the blueprints of how they got there. All while trying to figure out what's coming next. They'll share their stories, including not just the wins that we all see, but the moments they had to persevere through when everyone counted them out. People like the co-founder of Buddy's Coffee, Rachel, who quickly went from being a New York Times success story to facing eviction. Being deemed a successful business by a New York Times, as a Puerto Rican girl from New York, who didn't finish college, was like, I was like, "Poly ****, I'm finally doing something." Like, maybe this is all working out. And then that day when the landlord comes in, it's like ****ed all over that idea and he stepped on me. Listen to Global Flow as a part of the Michael Thura Podcast Network, available on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. I do miss Smoking weed, remember how fun it was when Smoking weed, Durr's was a really a stoner back in the day, but hot knives. When it was very illegal, when it was like, you could go to jail for Smoking weed, really bad boy **** and you and your friends in high school would get so stoned in your car driving around and you would hotbox your car and I had a convertible top and we would park underneath a streetlight and then drop the convertible top and see it come out, billow out like smoke weed everyday like that atomic **** and Hiroshima, baby, you were a little bone. You were a little bone. It's offensive. I was like, yeah, that's so. That's got to be a better role. Yeah, yeah. You put in an atomic bomb. Like an oven in the Holocaust. This is Smoking. It's pouring out. Not like that. Not like that. It's just not billowing. No, not like that. Not like that. Uh, but just those moments and you're, you're driving around and then you have to listen to music that talks about Smokes like 9/11 ground zero like with tower to book and we down. I like that. I did not even like that. We're covered in shit. We're walking around. Not know what's happening. I got a briefcase somehow. Yeah. There's a ringing in my ear. I'm being carried by a firefighter. I can't see, there's blood. I just saw dude jump out like that, not like that. There's people landing all around me. I assume I'm so fucking high. No, no, no, no. I'm so high. I'm starting to see people jump out the building. No, don't like that. I don't like that. I'm watching Batman, the dark night people are shooting at me somehow. They're running for cover. Oh, damn, it's like a school shooting, bro. No, it's like this smoke coming out the barrel at Columbine, dude, it's not a deck, yeah. I'm sitting cross-legged singing my ABCs and a kid comes in and blows my friend away. I know what I was saying, I like that. It's exactly like all that stuff. It's like I miss it. I didn't know you just like that. I wish this was real. Yeah, it's exactly like all that. And then you carry in Bubba, but the music you would play always also had to talk about weed. Sure. It had to be like bone thugs, like thugs. Hi, hi, hi, you baby. Such a good track. So good track. You know, we can really ease your mind. Right. I just want a party. I miss those days, that doesn't happen anymore because now weed is so just accepted. You just sort of like puff on your little pen or you also the weed culture. It just took a turn for the worst a little bit because like, you know, I DJed that like puff con and that's like a dab festival and it's just like, bro, you guys are so high, dude. You're so high.

Did you guys have a good Thanksgiving? What was the thanksgiving, all-timer? - I didn't get to have one. - You guys, you had an all-timer? - Uh, I love that. I love an all-time thanksgiving. - No, it was fine, it was good. I was thorough, that's good, you know what I mean? - Yeah, that's good. - Yeah, we had a good one. The family came here, um, it's fun to watch Bo for whatever reason. He just loves my father. Does that happen to you guys? Is it like a boy's loving like old men? Like, 'cause my dad is like a gruff, you guys know my dad, he's like a gruff guy. - Yeah. - Right, but he's a nice guy. - He's a nice guy. - He's a super cuddly bear. But he doesn't have like a sweet voice. He goes, "Hey buddy, come over here." - Yeah, but they know. - Give grandpa a hug. - They know the vibe. They feel the vibe. - And then he does. And I'm like, this voice should terrify you. - Yeah. - But he just runs right to him, gives him big hugs, sits cuddles up next to him. - Don't you remember when you're a little kid just like nuzzling into like your father's chest hair and just sitting there for a while? - Yes. - I know this might come as a surprise, you guys. I don't have that memory. - Okay, or your uncle. - Your uncle's chest hair. - Don't have that memory. - Yeah, or Jeffrey Jones. - Yes. - Howard the Buddha. - I don't remember pressing my face up to the television during how or the face. - It gets Jeffrey Jones, the known pedophile. - It's falling asleep in his chest hair. - Yeah. - You don't remember that? - I think my parents liked my kids when they were really young and then as soon as they got loud, they were like, we're done here. - We're done here. - Can't. - We can't handle the noise. It's too crazy. - They're too old. - They're too old. - I'm wondering if that's gonna have to keep over here because your parents aren't yet 70? - No, not yet. But in like two years. But. - Yeah. - So they're fine. - In five years when Bo is like seven years old and he's being loud as shit and my parents are in their mid 70s, maybe they're gonna be like, I'm off this. - Too much. - I'm good. - It's science. - Yeah, I'm good. - Also you gotta be careful what kind of toys you buy them. There's some really loud ones out there. - Dude, the amount of toys that is being shipped to the house for Bo for Christmas and you open them up and you're like, this is gonna ruin my life because they don't buy the loud fucking toys from China that are just, and then they're voices. - And they're always from China. - Loud. - Interesting. - Loud from America, line 'em up. - I mean, whatever, just I mean like cheaply made. Like just like the stuff that you're like, oh this, he's gonna break off a piece. He's going to swallow a bunch of batteries. - Yeah. - There's gonna be a battery. - It's all a battery. - He's gonna eat the batteries. He knows just where to go to get him. - What month is his birthday? - Off February. - Oh yeah. - So look, we deal with the same thing 'cause we got November to December birthdays here. I mean, the gifts, they stack up. So like, they've got all this stuff from their birthday and then Christmas comes around the corner. Or if that's just celebrate. And. (laughing) - And. - Thank you, dude. - They're like, can't handle it. It's too many toys, it's too many things. So we like really dial it down. And I imagine it'll be the same thing. Post Christmas in February, having a birthday. You're like, didn't I just get a bunch of stuff like. - You already have your shit. - Kind of. - And then you just see like six months later, three of those things still in the box, like in the corner of the room. And you're like, yo, bust these out. - Look at this new thing. - Yeah. - You know what it is, but they play with the box. They don't play with the toy. - They have more fun with the box. - I'm like, I should've just bought a box. - Yeah, I'll give you a box, come here. - I'm churning off under this. - Well, you know when that's true, is when they are like six months old and can't do anything, then they can play with the box. But now Bo is like, yeah, cool, a box, but then the actual toy, that's what I'm gonna fuck with. - But guess what, when they circle back, when they have a younger sibling who plays the box, they go, oh yeah, the box, it's not a box. It's a race car. - It's a world war one bunker. - When I see the kids doing that, then I remember the box. And now I'm playing with the box. Where I'll just play it in the box. - And I go, hey guys, let's just chow this little box. When we, and I love is what I'm trying to talk to the producers in the chat, and I mentioned multiple times as the multiple questions, and then they don't answer no one. - How long have we been going? How long have we been going? Hello, hello, sorry, about 40 minutes. - Yeah! - Yeah, and then Todd just responds, thanks buddy. - And he take that, Todd? Any apologies, Todd? - Yeah, I thought we were going an hour and a half. I was about ready to pull the plug. - No, no, we're done here. - This one feels like, I mean, last week we just had a good time. We were on fire, it was fun. - Fire, we were coming on fire. - Just gonna see you guys. Now I'm like fucking saying chow box, I don't know where. - I mean, we didn't even, did we even cover the Las Vegas live show? Do we even talk about how fucking dope that was? - No, I don't even think we did. - What a banger it was. - It was very cool. We had thunder from down under. - That was awesome. - That was awesome. - They came on stage, I mean, we must have been double booked. - We must have been double booked 'cause they stored in the stage and they started dancing, we're like, hold up, wait a minute. - What a church. - There's our couch. - What a church. - Our couch is already out there. So we had to fucking dance battle. I saw Blake's asshole, I shook my dick around. And by the way, we all ripped our shirts off. Very sexy, very hot. Even though I feel like I'm not in my best shape right now, we all looked pretty good. - It has to be said. - Okay. - We all looked pretty good. - It has to be said. - It has to be said. Seeing us from the crowd's perspective, you see the little camera, you know, people are filming us with their phones, whatever, with their little phone cameras. And then you're like, oh, we're looking pretty good. And Blake, you're looking really good. - It's gotta be said. - Where is it? Blake's dead as abs for days. - I've been eating so much lately. I'm trying to kind of plump up. And it's, it's just, it's your building muscle. It's what's happening. - Adam, I don't disagree. - You're finally feeding your muscles, thank you. - I'm not malnourished. - I don't disagree, Adam. I was happy with all of our showings. I think this is a good show. - Yes, it's a show. - I'm a dude. - But it has to be said. - It has to be said. - That the thunder down under guys, bodies. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Are so legit. - They're just mountains. - They're unreal, they're unreal. - They were unbelievable. - Nothing moves on them. - Yeah, they're very hard looking. - And I wanted to talk about it on stage, but they really are from down under. This isn't just, they're not just putting it on. They're not just getting the biggest guy out there. They're pulling from the farms in Australia. And they are bringing you hot beef. And literally, it was like, he met a guy. Didn't he say he met a guy at a bar? And he was talking with him. - It was very like, just laying Maxwell. - That's like, hey, you know what you should do? I'm gonna bring you to America. And you're gonna dance, baby. - Pizza pizza. - And you're gonna dance. And he legit just met a guy at a bar. And was like, hey, never dance before. He had never done anything like this. And he goes, you wanna come to America and perform with thunder down under. And we'll train you to dance. - He's not quite the rig. And he's like, yeah, you got quite the rig mate. And he was like, oh yeah, sure. And then kind of forgot about it and found the card like two months later. - How about you, Cockman? - Gave him a ring or whatever. And it was diamond and he actually did it. - And he has a story with these, and he goes, that was eight years ago. I'm like, damn dog. - You've been this jacked. for eight years. - It's hard to maintain that level of jacked. I mean, speaking from experience, it's hard to maintain that level. - And one of those guys, that I think the oldest or like the most senior guy, he was probably in his 40s. I mean, and you come, it's all diet, it's all diet. - You guys, it's just all diet. - I'm so fucking hungry. - Could you imagine living in Vegas and not getting blackout drunk five nights a week? - It would be hard. - Well, he did say that there's a pretty high turnover rate of mates fresh off the boat who come there. It's Vegas baby, they go ham, and then three months later, they're like, - And they're Australian, so they're mad. They're absolutely mad, they're bonkers. - They don't say that? - Oh yeah, they're mental. - But there's a little bit of a turnover of like the newbies, he said. - Yeah, he got it. - But if you get it and you get in the program, too. - By the way, they're all stretching, and I'm like, he's like, oh, I can't. I'm like, oh, he got a stretch. He's like, oh, for sure, man, like I've been doing this so long, my back's all fucked up. They're all like, yeah, our backs are all fucked up. And I'm like, doesn't seem that crazy. We go out there, I'm shaking my shit so hard, through my back out. (laughing) - You really did. - I didn't know you actually did. - You really did. - I sat down in the couch and was like, - Uh-uh. - And then woke up the next morning. - Why didn't we talk about that? - It's boring. Good podcasting. - No, no, no. - I think he doesn't want to show weakness. - Yeah. So that's why I'm saying it now. - Durs hate showing weakness. - I like weakness at a distance. - Yeah, at a distance, I mean. - Are you better now or have you worked out all the kinks or is your back still pretty tweaked? - I have worked out all the kinks. I was telling Todd this before him, but woke up, we were out to like three-ish, you know? Just before we saw Joey Fatone, it's a good night. - Yeah. - Thanks for having me. - Thanks for having me, dude. - And then I woke up at, I think 730 and was like, I'm wrecked. I need to go down to the gym, went down there where they had like, TheraGuns and foam rollers and just went to town on myself for like a half hour. - Uh, the fact that you went to the gym at seven after going to bed at three, that wild. - That's very impressive, buddy. - That's wild. - I mean. - I had a truly horrible day the next day. I was wrecked. I also did three days in a row. So it was a lot. - Yeah. - You did three days in a row, but let's talk about what we were drinking that entire night. It was like one of everything. - Yeah, it was very vagus in that way. - It was like beers beforehand. - No, we had drinks at dinner. - Yeah. - Which were like martini. - And I was drinking cosmos because we were at the cosmopolitan. - That's we were at the cosmopolitan. - I was drinking cosmos, I saw you. - I think two cosmos and a beer at dinner. - A 10.25 hole. - Two or three beers during the show. - Yes. Then we went, probably had a beer after. Then we went to that party. We were drinking whatever was getting passed around. - Margaritas. - Margaritas. - Margaritas. - Then we went to Bruno Mars house party. - Yeah. - Or whatever it was his club. - And I wish he was there. And I'm drinking whoever got champagne. I'm like, oh, this is a real good thing to have it two a.m. after drinking all night. - Yeah. - Drink champagne. Then I'm drinking like vodka cranberries 'cause it's just like the bottle service situation. - Uh-huh. - Perfect. - Then I go to bed. - Yeah. - Comment, don't know. - And then the coolest part was that song, Despacito, you gotta cue that up. Like, Despacito by Luis Francy is my wife's, is Chloe's favorite. She loves that song. - Big song, big song. - He gets on stage. He sings it voice of an angel. - That's right. - He was there in person in the crowd. - This is not working. - He gets on stage. They play the house band. - Yeah, they were cool. - The ring in the Bellagio is Bruno Mars club. Is, their house band is electric. - Yeah, they rock it. - And if I was getting married tomorrow, I would pay all the money in the world to have these guys perform at my wedding. - They were awesome. - They were fucking fantastic. - Yeah. - There's a lot of variables in that whole situation. - If you were getting married tomorrow. - All the money in the world? - Yeah. - I would pay a hefty, a true, - Just their asking range. - A true song right? - "Killing Ranch." - Which I bet is, I bet it's a lot. - It's gotta be. - They have this steady gig. They, you know, they probably can't dip out, you know. - It's gotta be 40 or 50 grams. - Also, seeing how tight they were, and you're like, oh man, everything in Vegas is so fucking tight. Like, just everybody's on their shit, like the shows, and that's-- - It's so dialed in for entertainment. - And then you think back to what we did, with the days of my-- - We were bringing the thunder, baby. - Dude, yeah. - No, I know the guy that booked the room, at the Cosmopolitan, the Chelsea theater. The guy that was in charge of the Chelsea theater, when he saw the wizards come on stage. - Yeah. - And he saw the wizards costume, and he goes, wow, bringing that Vegas entertainment. He said, I don't know if that's exact quote, but it was something like that. And he was like, dunking on us. And not us, the wizards, but-- - The wizards, I didn't know you meant for a second. - Yeah. - He's lucky, they don't come out the realm of, fucking snap on that fold. - Yeah, they might, they might. Hopefully they do again. 'Cause we had a great time there. - It was, we were allowed back. - But, so Luis Francy gets on stage, then the guy, and I'm blanking on his name, from pranksters. - Impractical jokers. - The main guy. - No, I wouldn't say he's the main guy. - He's actually not on the show anymore. - Isn't he the main guy? - Well, he's one of the main guys. - I think he's the one not on the show anymore. - Yes, he's the one not on the show. What is his thing? - That's why he's the main one for me. - Goodbye. - It was Joe, right? - Yes, Joe Gatto. - You did the show, didn't you, Blake? - Yes. - I did. - Yeah. - I did. - So you know his name, right? - He wasn't on the show when I did it. - Oh, okay, guys. - Yes, so his name's Joe Gatto. So I met him a handful of times. He comes over to me. He sees me in our little booth area, and he starts talking to me, and he's like, I'm hanging out with Joey Fattone, and Luis Francy, who just performed. You guys should hang out with us. - But that was right. - But that was right as the club was ending. It was like 3 a.m., and everything's winding down, and we're taking off, and we're like, how we're out of here. And we walk out, and they walk out at the same time. - And we're feeling good. - And then we're walking all the way back to our hotel with them, 'cause they're staying at the same hotel. - Through like the casino tunnels and all that. - Yeah. - So we walk for like 15 minutes with these guys, the longest walk, and I find out that Luis Francy, who has this whole, like, he seems like the most Puerto Rican man alive, went to high school with Joey Fattone, and Joe Gatto. They're high school friends, all of them in Florida, and they were in an Acapela group in high school. - Oh my God. - This is-- - What the fuck? How is this not-- - That's Illuminati, dude. - That's Illuminati. - Yeah, these are-- - That's Illuminati. - That's Illuminati. - That's Illuminati. - Illuminati. - Illuminati. - Damn, that's a very-- - Illuminati. - Yeah, that's crazy. That's when you learn, like, Randy Moss, and Homeboy, White Chocolate, played like-- - Yes, high school basketball and football together, yeah. - That's a cool link. - Yeah, where you're like, what? - Yeah. - Yeah, and just like two of the most freak athletes were just homies, and, you know, that makes sense, they're pushing each other, and then Luis Francy and Joey Fattone were pushing each other to be singing legends, and then Joe Gatto was like, I'm gonna do comedy. - I'm gonna do comedy. - Yeah, yeah. - I'm like, I'm out. - I do hit in camera. - I'm out. - I'm out. - I just watched my big fat recording the other night. - Yeah, so I thought that was very weird. But Luis Francy, great guy, and is there any tape backs, any apologies, any epic slams here? - Why is Todd Luis Fonsey? - Fonsey, Fonsey. - Fonsey. - You were saying this is the way. - Fonsey. - Fonsey. - Luis Fonsey. - You know, I wanna take back the fact that I doubted myself on any of the capitals. Obviously I did, I kept saying on that. - You doubted yourself. - I did though. My first instinct was the correct instinct, and I gotta learn to trust my first. - Capital of Indiana. - Indianapolis. - I don't know if that's true. - No way to tell, there's no way to tell. - My kids are always like, what's the capital sense? I'm like, that's your job, that's for it isn't Indianapolis. - You tell me, bitch. - I know what it is, I'm not telling you. - That was right. - Indian's a fun place. I've had some good nights in Indianapolis. - Yeah, absolutely. - Luther gang. - Put your shrimp cocktail on. - Yeah, I feel like I stand by everything I say. I would like for people to believe that I'm an alien. Like, I'm a lizard person. - A lizard man. - You're sorry that you aren't. - That's your apology. - Yeah, I want, I guess it's not an apology. It's a want from TI and nation. To really think I'm a lizard person. - Any take backs apologies are hard wishes. - If you got wishes. - If I got a wish. - It's a hard wish. - I got a hard wish. - So TII nation, if you could just start putting it in the streets, that Adam is a reptoid, that would be really helpful to his brand. And Adam, you need to buy some of those contact lenses that make it look like your lizard and also split your tongue. - Absolutely. - That Ders had a game over me. - Yes. - That's, oh my God. - And I was like, put him on. - More than for an hour was like, we can't do it. - We can't do this. - And if you're listening now. - Did that not make the movie? - No. - I was going to wear snake eye vertical pupil contacts the entire movie. And I think not mention it. - Yeah, we just wanted you to be a fucking kind of a weirdo. - Yeah. - You wore them in the flashback scene that didn't make the movie, right? - Yes. - I think you do have them on. - And you guys were like, why are you wearing the, I think I had them on and we were like, let's just make it so like I put them on to be cool and you guys hate them and I'll take them out later. - Yeah. - Because I was like, I can't wear this entire movie. They were like, drive my eyes crazy. - I think we have them in like the very first scene. - Adam kept like rubbing on me and I was like, this has to, well this can't continue. - And now it was one fellow lizard to another. - 'Cause if he gets married tomorrow, he'll pay the world. - And boys, all the money in the world. - I now have my fingers up my ass. - Do it. - Yeah, I'm fucking kidding. - And I'm almost out of my dick and I have underneath this table. Sorry I'm not supposed to spend too much time doing this. - Well Blake, place out some despecito, buddy. - Okay, you guys, that's what I wanted you to do. - That was another episode. - Oh! This is. - This is. - Poor Tarts. - Poor Tarts. - All right. - What? - Oh my god, and his voice was so silky smooth. - Whoa, it doesn't really kick in, huh?
