Ep 296: Chicken Noodle Soup For The Swole

The podcast highlights several distinct shows that explore personal growth and social realities. "Solita" centers on solo female travel, framing it as a space of empowerment where women can choose freely and discover themselves without societal pressure. The show emphasizes that being alone is not isolation but a time of heightened awareness and self-reflection. Another segment, "This Is Important," uses humor and satire to critique social hierarchies, particularly around being "in the files"—a metaphor for visibility and validation—and how it ties into feelings of belonging, status, and exclusion. Other episodes delve into deeper personal issues: the Psychology of Your 20s examines boundaries, anxiety, and relationships, while Pro Society connects books, pop culture, and internet discourse in thoughtful group conversations. "Therapy for Black Girls" addresses the unique challenges of middle school through a psychological and neurological lens, focusing on identity, surveillance, and parenting. These podcasts collectively underscore how self-awareness, community, and personal agency are crucial in navigating modern life. They also reflect on how social media, pop culture, and personal experiences shape identity—whether through humor, vulnerability, or rebellion. From solo travel to digital visibility, each narrative reinforces the value of questioning norms and embracing one's authentic self.

This is an "I Heart" podcast, guaranteed human. On the new podcast, Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus, or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I choose option B. I'm Julie Pignero, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word Solita, trading the pity for possibility. Listen to Solita on the "I Heart" radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Self-care September is your reminder to slow down, check in with yourself, get off your phone, and maybe ask why am I like this? I'm Gemma Spek, host of the Psychology of your 20s podcast, and this month we're helping you make sense of the person that you are becoming, from setting boundaries and navigating friendships, to understanding anxiety, confidence, relationships, and attachment.

Listen to our town on the "I Heart" radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. 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," if you're not mentioned in the files you're a loser. I bet Goofy just walks around in a towel, dude, with his fuckin' hammer. Life's hard, dude. Stay hard. Let's gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Let's go! Come by ya. Fuck it! We'll do it like! Come by ya. That is my favorite addition to the soundboard. Come by ya. It's pretty powerful. It doesn't sound real, it sounds like a voiceover ator. Yeah, your dad's good, man. Come by ya. He could do it, right? He nailed it. Stuck the landing with it. How do you thought about hooking him up with a voice agent? Agent? Well, it would be a very specific voice you're listening for. Wasn't that good? Yeah, but I mean. Come by ya. Yeah. I mean, with that voice, you're sawin' anything, dude. A new pickup truck. A lot of anti-smoking campaigns. A lot of stuff. Anti-smoking campaigns. It would mostly be Monster Jam. Wherever the current monster jam is, he's hyping it up. Coming to the Anaheim pod. Coming to the state. What's the one that the girls like? Sparkly? Sparkle? Something? The one monster truck? That's just like Sparkle? Well, I remember Medusa. Medusa was kind of the OG. She was like a pink monster truck. She was fine, dude. Medusa was the OG. Fuck ya. Bigfoot was the OG dog. To the great digger. No, I'm talking OG female driver. Was Medusa. Oh, newsflash. Bigfoot was actually a lady. What? Come by ya. All Sasquatches are female. You didn't know that? No. Wait, Bigfoot was a girl? Oh, yeah. She had a huge clip hanging off the back. No. That, no. Those tires for the ladies, bro. Bigfoot monster truck had a clip hanging off the back. Where the truck nuts would be? Yes. Damn. It came before truck nuts. Somebody was like, "What if we made those nuts?" And then they. Have you guys been to Monster Jam? Of course, bitch. What do you think? I would love to. I think we missed it. I think we missed Monster Jam. I think it was just in Orange County and then I think it was just in LA County. We missed it. You know, those are the two counties that animate. Well, I mean, are you traveling? Are you traveling to go see Monster Jam? I'm not. I'm going to stick within a county or two. If I drove to Santa Barbara County, that'd be about as far as you drive to LA County from Orange County. It would be it. It's much further. It's much further. I go to Santa Barbara County all the time and it's an hour away. Oh, is it? Okay. But what if you followed Monster Jam like grateful debt? Like you were just like at every once you called them. If we talked more, you'd find out that I do. That truck and cool, dude. Yeah. The Monster truck I was looking for was Sparkle Smash. Sparkle Smash is the new star on the scene. Yeah. All the kids are into it. I am unaware of Sparkle Smash. How did Sparkle Smash get on your radar? I don't know. Because he's a fucking Hollywood elite. Whoa, Sparkle Smash is sick, dude. It's a unicorn. I would that have anything to do with my eliteness, dude. I'll let you answer your back question. Yeah. I mean, it's a unicorn. He's in the files. Still don't know. You're in the files, motherfucker. You're in the files. You're in the files. It's interesting. You will talk about files. You're in the fucking files. Mommy, daddy, stop it, please. Oh, dude, I wish I was in the files. What? What? We've covered it. If you're not mentioned in the files, you're a loser. You're a loser. You're a nobody. We're not rich. We're not rich enough. We're not elite enough. Yeah. There's no way we're in the files. Okay. Like there's plenty of people who didn't do anything damning or gross or illegal that are in the files and they're like, they're in the files. Kind of sick. What the fuck? Yeah. I don't know if they like it. No, no, no, no, no, deep down. If you're in the files, if you were affiliated, you're like, I guess I'm everywhere. And I don't know if you could tell, but you know what, I'm starting to look at and I hate, and I hate to get off the files and back on to monster jam, but there's a lot of one in the same to me. Go ahead. There's a lot of monster trucks. I've never even heard of. It was Bailey Circuit. It's like a dog. Well, dude, Blake, you probably haven't looked at monster trucks. You have two. You have two girls. This is the guy who said, of course, when I asked if they've been, he's like, Oh, what? Girls can't like monster trucks. Get the fuck out of you, man. Yeah, you're right. I guess you're a bad dad then because you're not taking your daughters to monster jam. My son has been to monster jam. He's two years old. It's so loud. He probably, he probably went too young. It is a little scary. It is a little loud for the kids. It's got to wear the ear, the ear muffs. It's too loud. It is. I'm going on record as saying it is too loud. No, yeah. I bow took the ear most off and I said, and I said, good, you keep them off. You're a man. I said, you're a man. And then I said, flex. Hasn't started talking yet for some reason. Can't hear people speak. He has tintanitis. Is that what it is called? Tintanitis. Tint ear. Tintanitis. Tintanitis. Tintanitis. Tintanitis. It's where you got the ringing in your ear. It's like a terrible affliction. It's a good time. They flip cars. Todd just put it in the chat. Tintanitis. Tintanitis. I don't know. Tintanitis. Tintanitis. Tintanitis. That is what was hanging off the back of Bigfoot. Excuse me. Thank you. Damn. I don't know. Guess where I just took a young bow hard. I saw it. Wow. Okay. Wait. Hold on. We need a big point for that. Yes. Yes. Yes. Okay, that is fire. I'll take him. If he goes by a young bow hard, the rest of his life, he will have a good life. Yeah, dude. He's a beach. He's a beach kid. He's a young bow hard. Hard parts. We're kind of weird, but go ahead and bow hard. No, it's not weird. You're boy. My heart, dude. Stay hard. That's hard. It's weird. It's weird when adults say it. No. When the, when the girls at the high school start referring to him, see only someone that's in the files, take offense to that. They get hurt because they're always thinking of stuff like that. When regular people, they just think it's a cute, cute nickname for a young boy who goes hard everywhere. Blake. What else? I heard the file. I didn't do anything. It's just how you respond to that. I'm looking at monster. Yes, right. You were, you were pivoting. So what about them? Where you, where'd you take them? Where'd you take them? I don't know. I want you guys to guess. And I think you know the answer, but hustler. Yeah, I took my son to hustler. What does that even mean, dude? The hustler like to the porno shop to the like, what does that mean? What do you? The hustler store isn't a porno shop. It's like a lingerie store, isn't it? Oh, have you been inside of it? I remember going, I think I went with you in Hollywood one time. If you look this way, it's lingerie. And if you look this way, it's gaping but holes, just a poster of gaping. - Adam, you saw. - Adam was one of those gave you a bunch of magical guys that the more you look into it, the more Gabriel deals. - I feel like Adam went once and they were like, do you want to become a member? There's a point system and he was like, all right, and then he had to keep going back 'cause he's like, if I give up this punch card, I got all these punches already. - Yeah, well, they did used to have a. - I get a free chin, Adam, I think the one time. - I'm pretty sure the one time I went, you took me. You made me go because I think you were buying your girlfriend at the time like lingerie. It was in Hollywood. - Well, yeah, that's where you go to get the lingerie. - But you said, I can't have that. - You need this all so poor now. - Welcome back, Adam. - Adam, welcome back. - To go by yourself is weird. - What? - It's going by yourself, you're going to just creep it around. - Goodbye. - Creep it around a porn store. It's like, you go with your buddy, it's less weird. You're just an old gay art. - You don't trust yourself alone. I was there. - Trust, what am I going to do? - Buy porn? - I don't know. - I don't know. - There's all the porn you can handle online. - Well, yeah, but this is tactile. This is, you're touching it. You're amongst it. You're smelling it. - No, no, no, no, no. You're the physical media guy in the group. - Oh, you're the one who must collect. - How physical. - There in your fucking mansion, I see you. If you pan the camera to the left, it's just a stack of DVD pornos. - And what's with the head behind you? Is your body that goes with that? - No, it's just a head. - You're in the file. - Give me head. - But I wasn't, I didn't go to hustler. Any other guesses? - Okay. - Any other guesses? - To where you brought young bow art? - Yes. - Romantics. - Disney Romantics? - Yeah, okay. Well, it took you that long. You guys knew the answer. And Blake was going to have a guess here. Blake, would you want a guess? - Even though the answer. - Didn't you see this up on the last episode? - What you talked about last episode? - We're all very, everyone at home is like, just say a hat. You went to Disney World. - We don't need a guess. Everyone knows. We came back. We came back. So maybe I was hoping we would have a question about what that was like. - I'm not here for your hopes. - I'd rather talk about Monster Jam. But yeah, go off. - Well, it's a Monster Jam is the thing none of us went to. If you had just gone to Monster Jam, we would talk about Monster Jam a little bit. - For a little bit. - It's a thing that none of us went to. - Bullet. - So I just went to Adam. - You just went to Disney World, right? - Yeah, actually, yeah. - Oh, well, how was it? - I don't want to talk about that shit boring, dude. I'm gonna talk about Disney World, man. - To him up. - Take my Disney World. - Come on, man. There's gotta be some good stories. - There's gotta be some good stories. - Well, the story was, it was super fun. Bo had a blast. We went on all the little kid rides, which was fun. It, you know, what do I care? I don't really care to go on. - Let's go into it. - I'm a grown-ass man. I'm a grown-ass man. I don't care to go on the rides. But, dude, we had one of those guides, right? That takes you, and you get a couple of lines and stuff, and they kept me in like, Bo is number one stunner, is Buzz Lightyear, and-- - His word, Ellen. - Tony Tim Allen, of course. - Oh, loves Buzz Lightyear, yeah. Well, catch up in his crib. It'll be the middle of the night, and you get the little updates that he's up and about. You check on him, it's like 3 a.m., and he's just looking at the camera, and going, blast off! - And jumping up towards the camera. He loves Buzz Lightyear. - Tramus! - Tramus! - I love it. - And so we're like, yo, can you see Buzz Lightyear? And you're like, actually Buzz is really busy today. We can't see Buzz Lightyear, and we're like, what the fuck? And I'm going like, am I going to have to like, let this guy a few hundos to like get Buzz? And he's like, well, let me see if I could do. Then the guide leaves us for 20 minutes. - And we're just standing there going like, are we, what are we? - 20 whole minutes. - What are you even supposed to do with your lives? - We didn't know. Honestly, we didn't know what to do. - Up is down. - Like, didn't he park you somewhere? Or are you just like, he's just like, wait, hold up. - We were on the side of the little road. In Hollywood, lay under wherever we're at, we're at. - So it wasn't like, here's a churro. - With like, the rest of society? - Like, yeah. - He didn't like coming up. - Fucking hell. - I should norm. - And then he finally comes back. He's like, guess what I did, I got you Buzz. And then Buzz comes out a secret entrance. He walks out first of all 15 security guards and I'm not exaggerating. - Oh my God. - 15 security guards. - Adam's never done that. - Go ahead. - Secret service. - It was. It was like meeting the president or some shit. It was like, by the way, these aren't president level security guards. These security guards, I don't think they could take, take down many people. - Six toads, four kials in a mic. - Yeah, that's right. And they, you know, they block it off. But as soon as they blocked it off, and Buzz having his little meaning green, I guess he was busy. So we had to like turn around and leave as soon as he was done. You see people fucking clamoring on the other side of this wall of security guards. By the way, all the security guards are like five foot two, so the wall is like very easy to look over. But everyone is like, oh my God, there's Buzz, there's Buzz. People were losing their shit. Kids were scratching at the security guard trying to climb through their legs. It was fucking chaos. And Buzz first thing after we like fought to get him a meeting with Buzz Lightyear was, where's Woody? And you're like, oh, homie, just be happy that Buzz is here. - That's like when we're on the stream, people are like, where's Durson Blake? Where's Adam? And I'm like, I think I'm here. I don't know. I don't know. Let's FaceTime him though. He didn't pick up again. I won't pick up, but we can try. - FaceTime me more. - Wait, now is Buzz, is Buzz like a human in the suit or is it like plastic head, like does his mouth move? - No, no, no. They're all plushy with like a little plastic, they can look out the, I think they look out the mouth most of the time. So you think it's probably just like, I've been told they're all like five foot six Filipino men, right of course, that's like what it predominantly is. And I'm just like this poor guy, like because we did all the character stuff, because both so young, you know? And so I'm like, he's getting assaulted, like Mickey, Bo grabbed his nose, wiggled it around like this, poked him in the eyes and kept going, eyes, eyes. And then Mickey's like, okay, and I'm like trying to teach him manners, but he doesn't know manners. - Get your boy, get your boy, get your boy, get your boy, get your boy, he's got three more eyes, three more eye pokes, and then Mickey's gonna snap, Mickey's gonna call goofy, you don't want me to call goofy, I'm gonna call goofy, - You have goofy as a big motherfucker too. - Goofy's huge, they must get a six foot five, some guy in the goofy costume is six foot five, because goofy's pushing seven, - You're the tallest Filipino, you get in this one. - There's no way, they're shipping him in from like mother Russia, it's like Dolph Lunger and man, he's Swedish, I must break you, - Yeah, you know, they're strutting around in the back, like they're fucking large king shit, - Oh yeah, you know, - Oh, the backstage politics have got to be just fucking great, what do you think, they are, - I bet goofy just walks around in a towel, dude, with his fucking hammer, just fucking, - Yeah, hey, is this goofy, what do you think about this, is this goofy, that ain't so goofy, - How goofy is that, - Hey, Pluto, come here, - What mind seeing that, Daisy Duck, get over here, who else is there even, I mean, they guess they got to go and like pick some hook, you know why they call them gabbin hook, - Damn, Dick takes a U-turn, go off, go off, - He's Dick take a U-turn, man, flip a bitch, - Okay, yeah, and like Marvel characters, like Black Panther walks in is like, - Oh, - What's up, - No, they fucked the game up, they broke the game, - I don't know, we didn't go to Epcot, and I think Epcot is a little more adult, we just went to - How's the, - - We go to Hustler, there's not a Hustler world, - I'm saying Epcot is like the Hustler, Epcot is the hustler of Disney, Disney world, Magic Kingdom, which is like the classic with the castle, - Yeah, yeah, - Yeah, and then we went to Hollywood Land, or Hollywood Village, some shit, - Oh, - 'cause that's what has all the Pixar characters, - Yeah. - And so we got to meet Sully, which he was stoked on, - Sully Rock, Sully - Yeah, a lot of kids, - the dog monster, - Monster Inc, whose Sully Inc might be the - Sully is the monster. - The monster, - Yeah, John did, - I don't really have to worry. - No, Monster Inc is like the shit right now, I think they're, I think they might be top dog, I think Monster Inc might be the one. - How do they, how do they do that? - Oh, it's, it's over 20 years old. - Yeah, but I feel like they push it, you know what I mean, when they bring back like certain Jordans, and they're like, now everyone's gonna like the 11. - He was off hit in the corner, I will say Sully was off in the corner. - Really? - Well, that's because he was fucking high. - Dude, he was high. - Dude, Buzz, his line was so long when we saw him, and I was like, oh, that's gonna take two hours to get through. - Or at least a light year. - That's because it's Florida and it's now, and it's like a red state, man. - I think it's what it is. - Yeah, it's very polyethic. - Oh, I didn't know. - It's very political. - I think it's a long line, because it is actually to him now. - He's in the suit. - He quietly is like, that joke would be good if he wasn't extremely wealthy and kicking it somewhere very nice right now. - Oh, he's so rich. - I guarantee he's that salsa and beer in the valley.

Listen to Hey Jonas on the iHeart ReadyWap Apple Podcast or whatever. You get your podcasts. If your bookshelf and your for you page are equally important to your personality, welcome home. This is Pro's Society, the weekly podcast that's part book club, part group chat for thought daughters, pop culture obsessives and anyone who thinks pride and prejudice and love island deserve the same level of discourse. I'm Eli Rallo and every week we're connecting the dots between books, the internet and the conversations everyone can't stop having. I'm going to have to look up the story. I'm obsessed. From bestselling authors and your favorite book talk creators to the latest pop culture moments, nothing is off the table. It's like if you can hide some real messages inside compelling characters and that is a Trojan horse. Whether you're looking for literary deep dives, smart pop culture conversations or a community of readers who love to think a little too much, you're in the right place. Listen to Pro's Society on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. See you between the pages. I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I choose option B. I'm Julie Piñero and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. Every time I try to be alone, I kept meeting people and they were like, "You smiled at us, not a lot of people smile around here." It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind, or wake up to a new version of yourself. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita. On the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. By age arriving or so at least 70% have a phone. Middle school is a different world than the one we grew up in. I'm Dr. Joy and this is therapy for black girls. We spent real time on it in our surviving middle school run. Bringing in a child psychologist and a psychiatrist who's raising two black girls of his own to talk about what's really going on with our kids right now. So it's literally physiological and neurological and psychological chaos happening all this seems off. We got into group chats and gaming, friendships and bullying, and how to tell the difference between healthy monitoring and the kind of surveillance that erodes trust. The longing that you could think of belonging as I can be myself and I can still be accepted and then they're fitting in. Fitting in says I have to change who I am in order to avoid rejection. Then we turn the conversation toward the fathers, sitting down with therapists, cure gains on black fatherhood and what it means to raise a daughter through this stage. You don't have more shorts so you can't do flips, you have one to dress you up across your legs. That's the range of this run. From screen time to identity to the fathers doing the work at home. You can't stop for a device. But the reality is there's a lot of life out there that we don't want you as you're adult in the life to miss out on. This has been our surviving middle school run brought to you by the people who spend their careers thinking about exactly this. I'm Dr. Joy. Listen to therapy for black girls on the iHeartReneo app Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcast. Well I know I said that I thought that marvel and I still kind of agree with it. Oh yeah. Marvel movies sort of ruined the comedy comedies in theaters because they're kind of funny but it's also a $200 million movie. Right. When you go would you rather go see a $20 million comedy movie. That's funny but there's no explosions. There's no crazy shit or spend the same amount of money and go see the huge marvel movie. Right. The funny Thor movie that you have to see to be like part of the commercial. Yeah. And people were so mad dude. You don't want to rock the marvel boat. I'm like Jesus. Well yeah. I feel like the marvel the MCU boat is different from like the Marvel comic book boat because like OG comic. I don't think they get that mad at that comment. They don't give a fuck. I don't know. I don't know. Well there's 11 of them. So yeah maybe all 11 they weren't on the internet that day. At the retirement home. So they don't have it. So they're mostly reading the paper and doing doodles. Yeah they're in an attic. It's just the dude from the Simpsons who's like and the page is bent. I'm not going to read it or buy it. Yeah. I mean the it is looking back now. Now that we've kind of got a little more hindsight on Marvel like I think we're yeah. If we're not out of it. We're close to out of it. Yeah. We're coming out. We're coming out of the whole. How many movies did they make like 30? Yeah Todd. Give us a number. So many. And how many and how many of them are legitimately great or good or very good like seven. But that's it's still a numbers game. Right. Like even if you were like hey they made 25 comedies last year. They didn't they made maybe like three but how many were good or great. It's like a numbers game even even with this. Yeah. But two year point those comedies cost 20 to 15 million dollars and these each cost 200 and they're all the same story. Ish. Right. Whereas like you're talking about 20 different comedies. Black Panther. That one was kind of tight. Black Panther was cool. But it's not a great movie like fucking Iron Man's great. Yes.

So the movie's not even starting to 1115 you dumb fuck and then they're They're three hours long. Mm-hmm. My god, man Well, how are you gonna? How are you gonna be? How are you gonna wake up and cook breakfast for somebody? Well, I only cook breakfast on Fridays, but other than that, it's a serial pouring situation. That's fine. What are you making on Fridays? Mickey Mouse waffle pancakes waffle with peanut butter. What's a waffle? It's pancake batter in a waffle iron. So it's like a crispy pancake. I thought that was the only way to do the same thing though Best quick is this you just pour. It's can be one of the other. I thought that was the same thing. Yeah, yeah, but isn't the whole thing about Like waffles is your grilling it from both sides as a pancake You're you're you're griddling it one side at a time But you just said you put pancake stuff in a waffle and I'm saying it isn't the same thing It's not well now we're split in hairs, but like that's all that. No, we're just splitting the conversation that you know We're saying it's the same thing. It's a waffles what you do with it a pancakes with what you do with it is the same stuff though the best What do you do with it? Okay, I'm sure you my pancake and how you do Mickey Mouse they have the shape of it of the We have one too. I don't know if someone had gifted it to us To me at least and the fact that you have it. Maybe they gifted it to all of us, but Chloe in her nope Very very smartly a years ago saved it. This is before we were married before we had kids She was like I'm just gonna tuck this away because someday we might want this because I'm not gonna make Mickey Mouse pancakes for ourselves But okay, now we have it and I and I'm very excited to bust it out soon for for young bowhard This is the way she refused maybe we make some of these Mickey Mouse She locks the cupboard. I'm surprised Blake didn't keep it for physical media purposes. Right? Well, it's like I have to I have to save this look Be used. I don't I don't I'm not a Mickey Mouse. I'm not a Disney guy So even the fact that I'm letting you talk about Disney world and all that like it's very very boring Very boring and if you guys are listening or watching Blake does have a new button for all of us and it's kind of up to him He's the lead character of our friend group or whatever they call it. I'm not like Mickey Mouse has never moved They call it do they say stuff like I'm the lead character of my friend group who say like isn't that the whole thing? Yeah, no main character main character syndrome energy. Yeah, energy or something. I definitely have main character energy Imagine being in a friend group were one of the person one of the people says I'm the main character You everyone hates that person, right? And you know what I bet you'd be surprised. You'd be shocked. You're a monster that how often that happens It depends how they handle it. It depends how they handle it, you know, well if it's a joke, then sure But if it's not a joke and they're saying well, I'm the main character. I promise you it's it's happens more often than you've said Or the other funny dutties are like yeah, I mean, hey, all right, but hey, okay, like all right It's not it's not until later on in life that they realized that they actually hated that person and they were a bitch And probably if you're in your early 20s, I hated them and I'm a bitch. So whose fault is it hated then they are bitches? Well, it's oh, who's the man? No, I was saying that you're a bitch because you were subservient to this person who says I'm the best person in your Friend group exactly sucks, so you should have left you should have left or you should have just been like hey man here That like don't call yourself the main character Yeah, Blake are you listening? Uh-huh, come by yeah, yeah, like you're you're here. Honestly, I do think in elementary years I think I was the main character and then in later years And you have yeah, but you weren't saying sure dude, I you know I think we all were probably leaders of our little friend groups, but We weren't saying shit like that, you know, we're not in elementary school being like I'm the best one Follow me on the jungle gym. You're just saying yo follow me. Let's do this cool shit. You're not saying I'm the best or were you I don't write I'm not really stamping it. I don't think you were I don't think I was stamping it, but I do think maybe I was yeah I well, I actually was saying it. I would just end the sentence. I was I would end the sentence with right Hey, boys. We're going this way, right? Right right? And then and then he looks back and no one's no one's there. Yeah, no one's there. Oh, they go. Oh y'all are crazy. I guess we're going that way Huh, I'm I'm such the main I'm giving such main character energy Right, my main character on a solo journey. I do think I recall as a kid though like having a moment That's what Blake says quietly to himself. I'm main character on a solo journey You know things to the main character in a friend group the one who thinks of their friend the main character their friend group There's a I feel like every friend group friend group as Every friend group group. He's in the file. I feel like every young dude friend group suddenly like there's one quiet guy who's like I bet I can pick you up Yeah, that's always a dude who's like he just starts picking people up and you're like Very quiet very strong number of what is that why is that true? I had I had him I think there's just it's a way of asserting a quiet dominance. Yeah, and those guys are so strange Those guys they do they're usually good people this guy. Hey, this dude can I'd go to summer camp They like this guy can pick anybody up and I'd be like, I'm nice sick dude. I'm good. Stop right there. Um, yeah, please don't I believe that guy was me. I believe you. Hey bet bet bet you can but we're going this way, right? Yeah, right We're not picking people up anymore, right? Right? We're done, right? Right? We're going to archery, right? Yes, so then we got back from Disney World. Oh, okay Dude violently ill. What oh, yeah, oh, yeah, cuz we we skipped on Friday. We're supposed to do this right That's right. We skipped a pocket.

It's a cool event, but I think I got deathly ill there And you got to be pretty awesome was unlike anything I've ever experienced. I was so tired For two days. I could hardly open up my eyes the first day. It was a cold or a fever. I don't know. There's no fever But and I wasn't like not really snotty not really a sore throat Just like so tired that I couldn't wake up I suffer like 18 hours. You're growing for 18 hours. Maybe did you get mono? Did you kiss Buzz Lightyear or something like what I could say Dr. Anderson Dr. Anderson's gonna get to the bottom of this Mono because I feel great today. It was like a two-day thing and then and then yesterday I felt a little better and then today I'm back Well, I'm happy. Were you were you pumping yourself full of vitamins? What were we doing to get ourselves over? Literally nothing really no really water. Just water. Just water. I add a bunch of chicken noodle soup.

What's one got me? You got me fucking sick. What's one got me sick One of these called one of these kids got me sick. Wait, so they sent you soup They sent me soup. How do they even know you got sick? He wrote a scathing email No, they hit me back. They're like, hey, thanks for everything. How you doing?

Yeah, yeah Well, because dude, I was falling asleep like I wasn't looking at my phone. Yeah, it was a crazy beautiful thing I would like be watching TV and then I'd wake up and it's two episodes later And I just like slept through it. I'm like, huh? It was wild. It was like I was 11 beers deep. Yeah, and like I was stumbling. I was falling. It was a while. We all know the fool. Are you sure you weren't just hammered? Very sure. I didn't drink anything damn.

I wish I knew it was it was any lead batch. I really like chicken noodles. I say it I wish I knew the name of it because that'd be a hell of it dude We need the plug probably one more person would order chicken noodle soup from them if they heard it on our podcast That would be sick. I'm just wondering like do they have a network of chicken noodle soup places where they can just like Send it out to anybody in the country. They've been doing this for gears dude If you ever heard of it's just Uber eats like you just get it from a grocery store. What do I think I think they I think they have like Everything dialed so if like you know who who has everything dialed the children's miracle network Ders we're talking about we're talking about the the miracle network like they probably have the most elite Oh, you're saying they they make they make miracles. Yeah, they probably have the most elite chicken noodle soup in the world like they're Literally giving it to sick. They probably just hit up Erilong and then just had it.

And she did something about voice memos and how they should be legal. Chelsea's one of your favorite stand-up comedians. - Yes, I find her to be absolutely hilarious. - She's good. - I think she is so damn good. - She's good. I like her too. - Yes. - Favorite. - Yes, I think Chelsea is one of the top three top five. - People like comedians doing it right now? Yeah, absolutely. - Absolutely. - See, Chris Rock is still doing it right now. - Chris Rock does, he's off the table for me. - Why? - Wow, dude! - I don't, I just, he hasn't. - What? - He doesn't, he doesn't, he's not. - Wow, dude! - He's just not on my radar, what? Like, who, his last special wasn't that good? - The one where he went in on the slap and all that? - Tamborine was the shit. - Yeah, I thought that was fine. - I liked it. - I thought, I was like, okay, he's so good. - He's so good, he's still got it. - I thought it was awesome. - I thought it was fine. - Chris Rock, rock, dude. He's my number one. - Hey, I love Chris Rock. I think Chris Rock is like one of the best, if not top three. - No, I'm saying like doing it right now though. - Yes, so what you said, you said Chelsea per-- - Currently. - He's doing it right now. - He was at the improv just the other week. - I would rather see Chelsea than Chris Rock, for sure. - Okay. Here's my question, Adam, I want you to weigh on this as a stand up. I always hear people rank comedians. Like, this is my favorite of all time, Richard Pryor. And is that based on, or here's what, let me refresh this. I like the idea of ranking best specials ever. - Okay, yeah, that's, that's, that's a little easier. - Who's the greatest comedian of all time? Because like, I don't know, man. - Because there are comics. There's comics that it have done it so right when it comes, like Jeff Foxworthy, I don't find them to be the funniest, but if you look at his career, and just like how he did it, and how many books he put out, like comedy books, and the specials, and the tours. - He did. - Are you smarter than the fifth grader? - I mean, honestly, he did it, the exact arc of what a stand up comedy comedian can do. That never blew up and was a movie star. - Sure. - And that he's a pure stand up comic. - Yes. - Now, I don't find it to be the funniest guy. - He's not really prolific. - No, that's exactly what he is. He's prolific when it comes to stand up comedy and just comedy, churning out comedy. - You might be, you might be a redneck is elite. - Oh yeah, it is. I mean, he's a girl. - If you think it's hacky or like, hammy or whatever about you might be a redneck, I'm sorry, it's so fucking good. - And they're funny. - Yeah, he created a game, dude. - Yes. - Yeah, you know, he's a killer. But he doesn't really like make me like think. He just makes me laugh. He doesn't make me think. - Okay. - Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I don't know if I need that. - I don't know if I need that. It's like, there's a stand-up set have like everybody's loves Eddie Murphy's couple specials, his two specials. - Yeah. - I understand. - They are really, really funny. And he just came out like a lightning bolt and people were like, oh my God, he's the greatest. He's the best. - Yes. - But then he didn't keep doing it. So you can't rake him the greatest or the best. - But what I'm saying is, couldn't you because of those two specials? Like aren't those two specials like? - Yeah, but that's, there's different ways. - There's different ways of looking at it. You look at like a whole career. Like Foxworthy or someone like that. Their career is as far as just stand-up comedy goes is better than Eddie Murphy's career as Colorado. - But maybe Eddie Murphy has a funnier special than Jeff Foxworthy. - Yeah, absolutely. He does. - Well, I went down a YouTube rabbit hole just Paul Mooney stand-up special. Like Paul Mooney's the layer. - It's unbelievable. - I never loved Paul Mooney. I never loved it. - Yeah. - I'm real. - Paul Mooney. I mean, yeah, you know. - 'Cause even when you think of like Dave Chappelle, like he was such a different comedian earlier in his career. He was like very, I just listened to an interview with him. He's always, you know. - That NPR joint. - Yeah, he's always very thoughtful and is very intriguing to listen to him. 'Cause he does, he's not a, he's not a bozo. He's not idiot. He thinks about everything. And he is a prolific person. - Yeah, he's very smart. - And then when you think about his like early specials, they were so silly. They were like so silly. Like the bits were about like Stoner Sesame Street. And those are the ones that really stand out to me. That's like, for me, that's peak Chappelle. - Well, that's because that's the level of intelligence you're working on. - Yeah. - He's like, I like to think. - Oh my God. - When he did this Stoner Sesame Street, I was like, oh shit. - Shit. - You're a stupid dumbass. - I mean, and Blake, I'm with you. I like the silly shit too. To me, I like, to me, like every comment. Yes, I think he can talk on more political topics. And do it, do whatever you want as a comedian. But to me, the funnier clever bits have nothing to do with that. It's just Stoner Sesame Street. Or it's just the baby smoking crack on the corner. - Yes, I mean, but I do like people, I mean, I like a comic that makes you really think and really like analyze society in the way we, and also makes you laugh while you do it. I do like the, yeah, I love the total package. - Right, they got a package it. I mean, dude, to me, that's why I care about that. Both of the two, what is it, bigger and blacker and the other Chris Rock special that came out, where it was just like, bring the pain. - Talking about society and packaging it, bring the pain. - Yeah, they were. I mean, in jokes and stories that were un-fucking believable. Just so good. - Dude, Chris Rock to me is, is I saw him, I, he followed me once at the improv because it was like an open mic. And this was like, oh, five or whatever. And it was an open mic. And then he goes up and I'm like, fuck, he's gonna crush and the, and he didn't. And it was awesome. He was working out brand new material. And he just had a notebook. And he's just sort of rambling. And it was like, the first like a couple of minutes are super exciting because it's Chris Rock. But then you're like, oh, he's just like figuring stuff out. And he even said on stage, he's like, he's like, y'all gonna go home and say, you saw Chris Rock talk, talk about dentistry for 35 minutes. And you were like, yeah, he was just like working out a bit. And then two months later, I see him doing a Saturday night set, talking about dentistry. And it was crushing. Because the material and dialed it in and it was, it was so cool. I think that, I think that's one of the cool things about still living in LA and Hollywood is you're going to see those sets. Like I saw Chelsea. That's because like the Netflix is a joke thing is coming out. And you know, the festival is starting. We're at a troubadorb troubadorb troubadorb troubadorb. Yeah, what are we doing? Not troubadorshow. When is it? When is that? If, if I recall, it is exactly on five, eight, may, may, may be there. We're gonna have a blast. It's sold out. It's sold out. It's gonna be there if you bought tickets. We'll meet you outside like Buzz Light your style. But it is cool because you can see comedians like work out their stuff. You know, you're not at a casino or wherever in America where the set is polished. Yeah, so you do get to see. And it, I mean, it's a person who considers themselves a comedian of sorts. It's really fun to watch a comedian's mind work and see him stumble through that stuff. It's just. It used to always come with me when we would, when I was doing open mics all the time. Yeah. And it was really cool to see, like, you'd see Louis C.K. jump up. And I've, honest, I've never seen Louis C.K. not crush. I've, I've never been around him. I don't know. I was, I would always stand next to him and say, I'm a pot of plant. I'm a pot of, did he jerk off in a pot of plant? And that's, no, that's Weinstein. That's Weinstein. Oh, that was Weinstein. That's life. You shit in a pot of plant? Weinstein jerked off. I'm lost. Yeah. Weinstein jerked off in pot of plants. Yeah. And Weinstein had a pretty strong hour. That was a confusing time. That was a confusing time where like, it all came out within like a week, Harvey Weinstein, the prolific movie producer, was jerking off in pot of plants, which seems like a weird thing. He was doing more than just do that. Yeah. I mean, I think he's at prison. Yeah. Prolific movie producer. Convicted rapist. Movie producer. Oh, was he a convicted rapist? I mean, isn't that Weinstein? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know the thing. He's in jail for being not teased. He's a jail for a thing. And, uh, uh, Lucy Kaye got in trouble for like jerking off in front of people. Yeah. So then I got those two things conflated, you know, dude. Yeah. Of course. Yeah. Is this, are we, have you the like, goon, goon, aversory, the guy who like drove through the drive through of like a bikini coffee thing. with his pants off and then like got filmed and they released the video. >> Yes. >> And then the guy was like, oh fuck, and he killed himself. And now there's this unbelievable eye-league of gooners. There's this ironic, like we stand with the gooner and they have like a gooner roll, like a funeral. They all showed up to where the guy blew his brains out to have like a fucking- >> Yes, points! >> No, no, that's not my point. That's what they call it. They call it that. >> They're giving them points. I'm giving them points. >> They deserve points. >> And the whole thing is a bit, and they're dead serious, and the guy is dead. >> Is it a bit? >> They're not dead serious. They're not dead serious. They're like, they're dead serious about the bit. They're tripling, doubling, quadrupling down on the bed. >> Yes. >> It's gnarly dead. >> It's insane. >> It's another channel five. >> Oh, because I kind of heard about Gooninat about, well, Gooninat is just where you cross your eyes and jerk off. What is Gooninat? >> Gooninat is apparently beating off a lot. >> Yeah. Gooninat is now means like, yeah, you match our beta ton. >> Okay. So Kyle, you're just looking to Goon, you're looking to Goon. >> But a dude killed himself, and now there's all these dudes out there pretending like he was a martyr for guys doing jack off and need to find places to do it. >> So this guy was jacking off driving through? >> He drove through a bikini. You know how? >> Yeah, you know how in Portland and where you can get those, it's like a drive through coffee shop where the baristas are hot babes? >> Dude, they're all hookers, right? >> I don't know. >> I wouldn't say that. >> I think that they just wear bikinis. >> Yeah, I don't know. I don't know the protocol. >> It's like hooters. >> It's like hooters, but it's a coffee place. >> Yeah. >> It seems a little more nasty than you. >> I'll let you go down that rabbit hole. >> I don't know. I truly don't know the protocol of bikini like drive through coffee shops. I don't know if it has. >> Had to scream for the side. >> I don't know. >> I don't know if you ask for an extra cream latte and then you get something else. But this dude rolled through the drive through with like apparently like pants off. >> Pants off. >> No pants off. >> No pants off. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> And the barista was recording it and he was like kind of realized that. >> He got caught. >> It's like a new Harambe, a new like there's a leprechaun in the tree or people are pretending to give up here. >> A new got to wake up early cook breakfast for somebody. >> Yeah. >> Bubrow. >> Bubrow. >> No. That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is it's a bandwagon thing for people to pretend to care about. >> Right. >> Yes. >> Sure. >> Because you're like in on it and people who don't understand being in on it are driven crazy by it. So you're like, it's trolling. It's just like another level, it's a big troll. >> Well it really sucks that this guy committed suicide. I mean. >> Yeah, he had a wife and I think he was so ashamed by his horniness. >> But I think that but I think that's where there actually is like there is a stance to be taken. Like these guys are going, this guy shouldn't have been shamed into killing himself just because he was going through a drive through it. But he wasn't shamed into killing himself. >> He had shame. That's why he did it. Why do you think that's on him? >> Well that's on him. He chose to kill himself. >> By the way, you should have some shame. >> No. >> Well. >> No. >> Maybe not. >> Shame is I'd. >> Well, shame is okay. You should have some shame from because you were jerking off while a girl is just trying to hand you a fucking pumpkin latte. >> You caught her. You caught her. >> Yeah. >> You caught her talking about it. >> What do you do? Even if she's a hooker, if you're not paying her the money to jerk off in front of you. >> Boy, but the coffee. That's just a coffee. I don't think I don't think of $4 or a cup of coffee as it would constitute jerking off. >> You want some cream? >> Some cream. >> Jerking off is at least 20 bucks or 40 bucks. >> It's science. >> I don't know how much jerking off cost, but it's probably fairly expensive. >> All right. >> He's setting the price. >> Jerking off should be free. Jerking off free. Jerking off in front of a woman? That seems like you would. Good evening. >> You should be paying for that. That's a service. >> Okay. We'll tell Luicy Kay that, bro. >> Circle back. >> Circle back. >> Bring him on tour. >> Yeah. The guy, nobody made him kill himself. He killed himself, posting the video of him and black putting his face on blast. >> Right. >> You know what? I bet other dudes think twice now. >> Who did that? >> Yeah. >> The manager of the, not even the girl who took the video. The manager was like, let's put this guy on blast. >> Yeah. >> You know. >> And I'm working with all of the facts. >> Yeah. >> Of course. >> Okay. >> You were nothing. >> This is an air tie. >> This is why this is important. >> It would be absolutely unreal if you showed up to those like goon adversaries and you were like the leader. >> No. If we just saw, it would be unreal. >> It would be unreal. It would be unbelievable. >> It would be unbelievable. >> He has more hats on that also has a wig of like long hair coming down the path. >> Yeah. >> Obviously, others. >> No. The golf ones where it's the poof on the top of the visor. >> Dude. >> I've seen people who look like that and it's not even the fake hat. >> Yeah. >> It's the real deal. >> Hope. >> They get it. >> They get it. >> I wish, dears, dears, dears, I hope you do that. That would be really cool. >> We'll see. >> Link up with the goons. >> Mm-hm. >> That would be so good. >> I mean, to the way you're talking, I think you're their guy. >> No, I'm too obvious. You're. >> Oh. >> Like, I got that lead character. A moveover, guys. >> Yeah. >> We're going to stand here. >> Like, of the goons. >> Like, I show up, everybody's like, oh, Blake's here, like he's trying to get some shine or whatever. >> We don't leave here until we get dragged away. >> Right. >> Right. >> Like, that's sick if you pull up. >> That's true. That is true. >> Yeah, that is tight. >> Check out this monster. >> You're hanging out with Kurt Russell and then on weekends, you're in your goon of history. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> I like that. >> I wonder if our buddy goons. >> Mm-hm. >> He's a nickname. I wonder if now that, because I kind of didn't put it together that gooning is a real thing and people talk like, like actually say gooning, he probably hates that nickname. >> Yeah. >> It has morphed. >> Yeah. >> Does he still have it? >> Yeah. >> Well, it's his Instagram handle. >> He's still. >> He hasn't changed it yet. >> Well, you know, then he probably's into it. He's probably like it. Isn't that funny? >> Yeah. >> I'm going to come. >> He's leaning in. >> He's leaning in. >> I hope so. >> I hope he has it. >> I hope he has it. >> Apologies. >> Oh. >> Any doppelgangers out there? >> Mm-hm. >> Dude, I don't think so. I think we nailed it. >> I guess maybe I could take back. I'm not sure how strongly I worded with what I said about Chris Rock if I said I didn't like him or what, but I do think he's an extremely talented stand-up comedian, one of my favorites of all time. >> Yeah. >> I hope I didn't throw that around pretty willy nilly. That's why I was just because you said that Chelsea is one of your favorites of all time. >> Right now I'm doing it. >> I love, like that is a name where like I'm like, yes, I will go see Chelsea perform stand-up anytime. I think she's just hilarious. >> Okay. >> I really do. >> She's just hilarious. >> She's nothing more than hilarious. >> Nothing more than that. >> Nothing more than that to me. >> Interesting. >> Okay. >> She is. >> She's directed in me in a movie, and she's nothing more than hilarious. >> That's it. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Now, are you just trying to get put in another movie? >> No way. >> This is too. >> All the ticking right now. >> I find her very funny. I do also think she's funny. I'm not. I don't mean to take anything away, but we're talking about the greatest comedians of all time, which is the list that you put her on. She's not on my even top 10. >> That's okay. >> I would have to, I would have to reanalyze, I'm very surprised. >> The grace of all time, even though her special, one of the greats, is one of the greats. It's very, very fun. >> Is that where it cuts to the crowd that's not there? >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> So good. >> Very good. >> To make a list, I would have to really think about it and look at comedians. But I'm saying, right now, if I'm looking at Marquis, I'm driving past a comedy place. >> Just take a minute. Do you not have to do the whole thing? >> That's one I'm pulling up for. >> I just watched some of David Crosses. I started it. >> Love David Cross. >> God damn. >> Yeah. >> He's so. >> Absolutely funny. >> Is so funny, but I just haven't seen it for a while. >> No, no, no, not you. >> Not you. >> It's me. >> It's Pat Noswell. Pat Noswell.

Podcast Summary

Key Points:

  1. The podcast "Solita" explores the experiences of women traveling alone, emphasizing autonomy, self-discovery, and rejecting societal pity in favor of possibility.
  2. A segment on "This Is Important" highlights the absurdity and emotional weight of being "mentioned in the files," using a humorous yet critical lens on social visibility, elitism, and belonging.
  3. Other podcasts like "Psychology of Your 20s," "Pro Society," and "Therapy for Black Girls" address identity, mental health, pop culture, and social dynamics in adolescence and adulthood.

Summary:

The podcast highlights several distinct shows that explore personal growth and social realities. "Solita" centers on solo female travel, framing it as a space of empowerment where women can choose freely and discover themselves without societal pressure. The show emphasizes that being alone is not isolation but a time of heightened awareness and self-reflection.

Another segment, "This Is Important," uses humor and satire to critique social hierarchies, particularly around being "in the files"—a metaphor for visibility and validation—and how it ties into feelings of belonging, status, and exclusion. Other episodes delve into deeper personal issues: the Psychology of Your 20s examines boundaries, anxiety, and relationships, while Pro Society connects books, pop culture, and internet discourse in thoughtful group conversations. "Therapy for Black Girls" addresses the unique challenges of middle school through a psychological and neurological lens, focusing on identity, surveillance, and parenting.

These podcasts collectively underscore how self-awareness, community, and personal agency are crucial in navigating modern life. They also reflect on how social media, pop culture, and personal experiences shape identity—whether through humor, vulnerability, or rebellion. From solo travel to digital visibility, each narrative reinforces the value of questioning norms and embracing one's authentic self.
