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. Hey this is Hayes Davenport and Sean Clements. We host the podcast Hollywood Handbook. Each week we talk to someone in show business and try to help them with their careers and see what they have to offer us. Someone has a good time and no one gets mad at their publicists for letting them do our show. We've had a lot of great guests like Sarah Sherman, Adam Scott, Danny McBride, Ben Stillert, and a lot of other big shots that wouldn't be where they are without us. Listen to Hollywood Handbook on the "I Heart" radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Our hometown is not a test tube. 90 miles northeast of Nashville, a battle for the future of America, plays out in one small town. Developers with right wing ties have purchased hundreds of acres of land. We need cities on a shining hill. This is our town. A podcast about what happens when a small town becomes the site of a social experiment and fights back. I guess you didn't move in on a bunch of dumb hillbillies now did you? Listen to our town on the "I Heart" radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. If your bookshelf and your for you page are equally important to your personality, welcome home. Pro Society is a weekly podcast that's part book club, part group chat for anyone who thinks pride and prejudice and love island deserve the same level of discourse. Each week we're connecting the dots between books, the internet, and pop culture. With your favorite writers, book talk creators, and plenty of over thought opinions. Listen to Pro Society on the "I Heart" radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm excited about this one, dude, I'm excited about this one, dude, I'm excited about this. What? What? Do you have a crazy story? I know. Let's go on, man. I was hoping you guys were going to break something to the table. I'll bring something to the table. That's what Blake said. I thought you guys were going to bring something to the table. I was just excited about this one, dude. I loved it. Do you guys have anything to bring to the table? I'll bring something. Remember when we all watched Nip Tuck, just me, and there was a part of the soul watch it. You made a soul watch it. We're the guy, they're like a hot doctor, they were like, "Well, what makes you think we can trust you to do this operation?" He just stood up with the table, pulled his dick out, and put it on the table, and then everyone was like, "Yeah, all right, you can do the surgery." That's cool. Hot, hot, hot, hot. What a show. Whoa. And that clear? Cleared my bar. Yeah. That was his proof. It was a different time. That's Ryan Murphy. And Ryan Murphy is the horniest man in television, and when he wants someone to stick out on TV, he's going to make sure they're dicks out. I loved that show. I might do a podcast re-watch. I might have to watch it for the first time. I have Nip Tuck talk. You didn't watch it back in the day. I remember Durs would come over to the house and we would watch Nip Tuck together. Yeah. Adam, that was our little. Uh-oh. I feel like I wasn't invited to that. It's actually better if you're sitting on my lap. It was in the living room where you lived, where you were jerking off in the room to that aid to go to your watching. Oh, yeah. Angels in America. It's an important play and film. Yeah. I go in Blake's room and he's crying, jerking off at the same time. I'm a theater man. As one guy was inserting himself into another man saying, "I'm infecting you," and Blake's crying. He's a powerful movie, Adam. It's a powerful play. It's a powerful piece. Oh, you got a great ass. How are you missing that? That's the guy who was saying it wasn't it? Where the hell has that one gone? That might have left. Isn't he an Angels in America? Yes. Alphuccino. Alphuccino. Wait. Alphuccino is very good. That's from the movie Angels in America? No, no, no. Great ass. It might as well, but. No. No. Great ass is from Keith, right? Any given Sunday. No, I think it's from Keith. Oh, it's none of your. You're right, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right. And you look out your head all the way up it. God. And they like set. There's some behind the scenes about like he was just freestylein on that part. Like that was unscripted. That was just. I feel like everything. Is he my favorite actor now? Alphuccino. I'm pretty freaking. Like now is in like 15 seconds. Yeah. That's a little play. Yeah. All right. All right. No, no, no, that I know that he just goes way off script and screams about asses on set. I'm like, that's. That's fucking cool, dude. He's freestylein. What a bummer for Evan Stone to be dethroned. Yeah. Damn, son. Lexington Steel. Lexington Steel. Of course, of course. Of course, of course, of course. I just. Dude, I bought this on eBay. I felt like Blake when I was buying it. You made an eBay purchase. This might be one of the first things I've ever bought on eBay and it called out to me. You know, I have. I moved into a new office. It's in my house. But it's a new office. It's really bright. It's really bright for some reason. There's a light. There's a light. It's almost too bright compared to what I'm rocking with. Yeah, it's weird. You're in a dungeon. You do the podcast for the dungeon. Okay. My wife loves me, so she lets me have an office. I'm looking for things to fill it, right? You know, and I don't collect things in the way Blake does. So I don't have a lot of mannequin heads or MACDray miniature posters. So I bought this, dude. Look at this thing. I can't wait. I wish I had a drum. Oh! Wait. Sorry. That was the wrong one. Where are you guys expecting this? I was. If you're listening, it's like a ceramic comedy central cookie jar, dude. It's a cookie jar. Oh, wow. Okay. Okay. That is sick, dude. I keep protein bars in here just in case. Wow. A little hang. Is that a vintage piece? It's a vintage piece, dude. This is like a. That must be off the desk of like Kent Ultramaners. Wait, wait, wait, wait. So can we get a little bit more of like the lead up to clicking by? Dude, I saw someone. Where did you. I saw someone. Come on. on Facebook. And they were like, holy shit. Look what I just found. So you are still on Facebook. Also very cool. Yeah, I was. That's awesome. Yeah, I don't look at it very often, but every once in a while, check in to see like which high school friend of mine has lost their kids. Okay. Oh, fucking disaster, my God. What did you say? Yeah, yeah. I got a check in to see like which one has drank themselves today? Who drank? Or has lost custody of their children because of their alcoholism? It's science. It's that time. It's that time. It's about that time. Who's going on their third divorce? There's a brat. There's a brat out there going on that right now. Absolutely, Brad, a chance. People have taken swing. So, but instead of finding that cool shit, I found something maybe even cooler than one of my friends or old friends' lives falling apart. Was this someone who was like, I found this at a garage sale for like $12, like what an epic find. And I was like, what an epic find, dude. So then I went on the eBay and got it for like, I don't know, I think I spent like 30 bucks. Can I pause you? Wow. I don't need to know who the friend is. Is the friend affiliated in any way with Comedy Central that they would think that this was cool? It was a comedian. It was a comedian. Got it. So, and I think it must have been a Hollywood or like, you know, an L.A. garage sale. And I'm assuming it was someone. You're in a group called Hollywood elites, right? Yeah, Hollywood elite broadcasting specifically. Got it. Because that's where we connect. And that's where it's. I found baby blood on there for like cheaper than anywhere else. Yeah, it's mostly like old Comedy Central and Adrenal glands. You're in the back. You got the good Adrenal glands. He's in the email. Yeah, might be in the email. In the files. Yeah. So dude, I found this piece. That's really beautiful. And listen, it looks like it's in great condition. So then you went on eBay. Or did you Google it? And then you found it on eBay. Or did you know I'm going to find this on eBay? That's incredible. I said, I said what would Blake do? And I said, he would go right on eBay. And $700. And he went way over pay for it. Yeah. But I got a really good deal. They sent it. Came right away. wait, look at that. Look at that dark blitz. That's my favorite color. It's honestly, it's perfect. That's my favorite color right there. It's flawless. It's beautiful. I knew Blake would appreciate it. I am envious. And remember this one, when we first joined the Comedy Central family, we got jumped in. They had, they had this emblem. Yeah. They had this emblem that with the, with the Comedy Central with the skyscrapers coming out of it. Yeah. That was like old daily show corner of the, yeah. Yeah. Then it turned into the scene. Then it became like a C and then another C, a backwards C. I like the new one. I thought it was a cool update. It was like going after the like at similar kind of like we're updating. Oh, is that what that was? I think it's a good Jason. Yeah, it felt, it felt very internetty and, uh, yeah, it was cool. And I like there like, uh, thing bang, you know, how, what was that? The bang, bang. Okey, dokey. Who did that? I'm doing a bad impression of it. I'm like central, someone just turned on the Netflix twice. What the Comedy Central had like a, a bit of a bang, bang. I thought it was like a, no, that's, I don't remember that. I thought it was more of a, I don't remember that. No, look at Comedy Central noise because it Comedy Central noise. You think I'm gonna get it? It had a noise, dude. It had a noise. Blake, just fucking do it. Okay. He'll quit the podcast. There's no way that's going to yield results. Comedy Central noise. Okay. Hey, I don't know, dude. You're the one, I guess, look it up on eBay. And Blake, you're talking to a man who does not yield. Okay. Okay. When I looked up Comedy Central noise, all I'm getting is the noise. It's just pictures of that. It's all just, no, it's all just key and peel. I'm sorry. That did not yield. Well, 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 Bignero and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. Every time I tried 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 iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Todd just brought up a very fun little clicky thing. What do they call that link? That they show all of these. You need some good chava, brother. They show all of the Comedy Central logos. Yeah. And there's there's some good ones. Oh, yeah. Oh, I love I love watching logo. logo evolution. And if we could win with this airs on Netflix, can we share this? We would love to share this image. Just so people can enjoy it. Wig out. Have a good time. Look at the look it from 90 to 91. That one fucking sucks. That had the shortest life for sure. It's just an orange box with hot. That's bad. Yeah. Well, also 91 to 92 when they went with the skyscrapers exploding out of yeah, with some purple and orange. That's pre 9/11 for sure. Yeah, that is definitely pre 9/11. I think 2000 to 2010. The one that I got is maybe is maybe the most bad one's pretty hard. That one's pretty hard. But I like I like the whole scope of the world as well. That's kind of cool. Let's you know that it's a North American company. That's right. We forgot your world. We forgot you left California twice. Yeah. Well, no. And every time you're out of California, you sort of you and Isaac sort of incessantly talk about California about favorite place. I know it's weird. What's weird here is I can't smell the ocean in the same way. Yeah, Isaac Isaac and you will go like how far do you think we are from California right now? I don't know like 1500 miles. I think we're 1300 miles and turns and I like, hey, shut the fuck up. Who cares? Just eat hardies. There's no in and out. Well, come on. Come on. What? Hardies. Hardies is what? That's Carl's junior, right? No, Mr. California. Carl's junior. That kind of shit throws me for a loop. What is even the point of that? I don't understand. It's very bizarre. I think Carl's junior like people in the in on the west coast, they weren't fucking with the name of hardies. It just said that no one wants to be hardy. It was too strong. It was too strong. What about you? What about you? No one wants to be hardy out here. We want to be long and lean like you. Way fee. You want to be way fee like fucking like a blow over with a gust of wind, little bitches. But in the Midwest, we're like, we want to be hardy. We want to be a little meeting. Somehow very, very, very hairless and yet very hairy under their arms. That's what you want out here. Where's hardies, hairy all over Adam? Hey, I'm hairy all over. A little California sun bear going show. I recently buzz. I recently buzzed. I recently buzzed. You're a chance they're your back. Yeah, well, I do, I do a one blade on the back. So it's nice and smooth because I don't want. How do you get back there? You stretch. You got a stretch. Oh, you do. You say with a razor on your back? No, it's called a one blade. It's like a, it's an electric razor, but it gets really close. And then the front, I just do a regular because I get, it could poof out where you're wearing it. You're wearing a T-shirt and it starts to poof out a little bit. You don't want that. You don't want that. So you just have to tame it. That's, to me, it's cool. But do you ever have it where the needles poke through the shirt? That's you've gone too short. You've gone too short with your with your cutting. Yeah. The worst is when I've shaved, if you'd like Kelvin, Gemstone had a shave chest. And so my character on the righteous Gemstone. So I would shave that whole time. And it was the worst you'd put on a shirt and then you'd walk around and realize like it's just sticking here. So it's, it's drooping all weird on you because it won't come down because the the follicles have just like stuck whiskers. The whiskers have clung, yeah, I have clung on to the t-shirt clung. Dang, dude. That's kind of the mac McClung. The mac McClung. The damn right claim dunk contest on my white team. That's claimed dunk right there. Okay, good job, guys. I remember a homie in mind shaved his chest a lot in college and then hooked up with a friend, a girl friend that we all kind of knew. And we're like, oh, and she was like, dude, my fucking titties are so raw from his chest, like his chest hair just scraping back and forth on her. That's the worst is when she was very open with you guys. Yeah, that's the worst. When you have a girl in your friend group. I don't like you guys telling me to show my tits. And that just happened to me one time. A girl in a friend group and that and I hooked up with her and then she would just say shit to the group and it's not cool about the way you make love or yeah, yeah, but that's that's what I'm talking about is harmless. The way she probably described your weird dick and how you couldn't find a hole. You need another four inches. Not what it was. It was it was the fact it was the fact that I played chili peppers way too. We all know why you do that. She was like, dude, she's like, I'm never going to get the chili peppers out of my head. She's so much chili peppers. Yeah. She was right. It also ruined that band for me as well. For a while, I was congrew and then that that sort of destroyed it for me. I can never hear California occasion. Why? Because when we fucked, what are you trying to say? No, no, no, no. I would hear it through the walls at them. I do love the idea of like turning on chili peppers on the radio when it comes on. He's like, where's the no, he's like, is this is the original? Like, where's the fuck sounds? Yeah. Is this like a remix? He thinks it's like, he thinks the chili peppers were like the night inch nails where they just have like, sounds in the background all the time. Yeah. What's all the cool months? Yeah. I'm missing the month. This is can't stop addicted to the. Oh, Dream of Calla. Oh fuck. Uh-huh. Where's it? It's out of where's the where's the part where the guy says two more fingers in there? Screaming this is the only way I can To put another finger. I was like, that's a crazy way to start this off, man. They fucking that's a hook now. Now that's my whole soul relax. All right, suck suck my kiss Blood sugar sex. Yes, please, Dream of Chogin. Oh, man. I wish I had way more I bet that's funnier to us We truly know no one knows how loudly I would play chili peppers in the other room because we lived in a small house And you didn't want to hear you're your roommate fucking right? That's kind of weird for yourself Yeah, hold up kind of weird to just hear all the all the noises. Yeah, and so I would Blast put on blast chili peppers and Same album. It's so it's pretty pretty in grain. It was standard issue you never switched it up What would you guys rather here? I think I already know Adam's answer But what would you rather here? You would you rather hear your parents fucking super loud or okay? I'm yes or or or or a roommate with a girl who like you have like unrequainted love. Is that the word like? Quieted unrequited it's she a request. We're like you have a crush on her or whatever But then like your roommates just slaying Well, not to be I mean then maybe I'm kind of like wait, so it's so sorry sort of hot So you're just you're listening to a girl you have like feelings for probably J.O. and at that Who's like I'm actually in your roommate and you're just listening to them? Smush. Oh, okay. I thought you meant like a rape situation. I'm like, yeah, you didn't want to hear that at all Like I feel like what you called the police. Where did that come from dude? I know he doesn't know what the word unrequainted. I love it Would you rather hear your parents who love each other have sex or a woman be raped go. Yeah, I know my answer You guys go? Yeah, I'm believe a ball I think it all comes from the confusion of the word unrequainted. That's not what it was from it's my Shake out a little mess up so I was trying to rearrange some stuff while we were having the conversation With the cookie jar and I the isn't the why You skipped your chop is what happened.

You're building so I'm saying I wouldn't I'm saying you probably didn't wouldn't want like the stand-up comedian or otherwise Person to be doing it because then they're gonna go get married in 12 months as opposed to the guy who's like Yeah, yeah, yeah, kind of a turd. You're like she'll ring she'll realize it although his dick is so good And you and you have and you're like that's a tough one that's a tough one.

And then would like, trying not find her on campus, but like now know what she looked like. And then like, would be like, hey, I know, like from my, he lived up, like they did the downstairs. And then when he found out they broke up, he swooped in. I'm almost positive they've been married for 20 years. - And I remember him telling me the whole thing and me going, whoa. - Look, I will say, today's standards, that sounds insane. That sounds, that sounds like a crazy person, but I think that- - This was only like 50,000 days ago. - Less. - And it was probably like, what, 15 years ago, 10 years ago, something like that? - This is 2,000 fucking one. - Ooh, goddamn, you're old. - I just think that social media like killed all of that, all the romance as we used to call that romance. Wait, what are you trying to say? 'Cause I feel like- - Hey, let him cook. - Okay, 'cause it's always better. - Okay, so it spawned out of him hearing her, having a great time in the bedroom. And you know, that's a, you know, it's an interesting worm to chase on the hook, but he really wanted to get to know this person. He really wanted to meet this person. He felt some sort of a connection, and he, you know, he did everything in his power. - I mean, yes. - Let's start at the connection. The connection is the got got 2,000 real me, real me, real me. - Yeah, the connection is she, he's like, oh, she's a freak in the sheets. - Right. - So now I'm in love with her. That's not like a romance. That's pretty pornographic. - Well, he didn't say he was in love with her. He just, he knew he had to meet- - Well, lady. - There was something in that room. - There was some in there. - And I'm not quite- - I'm sure I put my finger on it. - There's something. - Well, I think there is some, a bit of romance there. - Yeah, okay. - And he just, you know, he had to, he had to find her and he had to know. - What do they call that show? What was the show on HBO? Like the inside, the mind of a man or whatever. What was that? - I don't recall that. - 'Cause that show, the mind, I don't know, it's going on. - Mind of mancy, I don't recall. - Yeah. - I'm watching, yeah. - Yeah. - I'm watching, I started watching that man as fear documentary. It's not as good as I wanted it to be. - No. - Yeah. - I had a feeling it seemed kind of. - You know what though? Isn't it? Do you find it fascinating how kind of, the dude who's doing the interview, the interview in the British guy, the black guy? - Yeah. - He's like bosses up on them. - Yeah. - Well, British people do that. - No, but like, he kind of, he kind of knows that these guys- - Which buttons to push, and that they're interesting. - They are like all self-informed. It's like, they all seem like bullies on the playground that if you punch them in the nose, they go- - They'll go cry. - They'll go cry. They're actually pushing. And this guy like punks them a little bit. - In a very nerdy way, which is great. - Okay. - Right. He'll be like, is it weird having me in your house? You know? That's not a quote, but like, there's very like, non, he's like asserting himself in a way that like, where he'll go? Why are you talking to the camera? This is a documentary. It's not fucking TikTok. Yeah. And they're like, oh, oh yeah, no, I'm just used to doing that. - And that doesn't seem like- - But he says it with a British accent. So it like, it doesn't, it's not- - No, it's more than that. It's more than that. It kind of actually is confrontational, but it's not to be confrontational. It's just kind of to be like putting them in a place in a weird way. - I feel like that's the thing Anders does all the time. I feel like it's better. - I think it's the accent. - Go on. - Honestly, because if you- - Honestly, my- - Like, oh, you look, now why are you looking in the camera? Like, and a British sensibility where like, they're always like taking the piss out of you, mate. - It's kind of like watching what's his name? Pierce or whatever, Pierce Morgan? - Yeah, like, he gets people hell of pissed, but he's kind of just like asking like questions with the accent. So it makes people extra fucking. - I guess I need to brush up on my Pierce Morgan. - Yeah, I don't know. It's not about Pierce Morgan. - Perfect. - Yeah, man, that's- - But anyway, you're right. It's not as interesting, but like, he'll start asking the, like, wife or the girlfriend of the dude, like the right next to him being like, why do you let him treat you that way? And the dude's instead of being like, hey, none of your business. They're like. - Yeah, go ahead, she's allowed to talk. - Yeah. - And then- - Whoa. - I mean, and they are allowed to talk, but then you could tell they're like a little afraid to like say you agree, say anything. - The dude is around his mom as another level. - Where you're like, oh, see, this sounds intriguing to me. - Yeah, I need to finish it. I watched like 30 minutes of it, now I was just sort of like, I wanted it to- I wanted it to go in the weeds a little more with- Like also, they're like, these are some of the most problematic, manned-ass fear guys. - Yeah. - And I didn't even know them. - Wait, ooh. - I'm like, I guess I'm not that deep- deep into the- - I was waiting for Adam to be like, and they reminded me of my closest home- - Friends. - They weren't that bad. - They were fine. - No, I mean, essentially they have podcasts where they just have a bunch of like only fan models and they stream it and then they like just make these- - Oh, yeah, yeah. I think I know the person you're talking about. - They're not the smartest women and they make them feel and look like idiots. - And I think maybe we just hit the nail on the head there. It's that these guys act a certain way to everyone who lets them and this dude doesn't let them and they're like, I gotta go take this phone call. Where'd you get those shorts? - I'm a dude. - He's like, I don't care about that. - And then they surround themselves with idiots who allow them who are susceptible to being treated this way. And the girls are, you know, they're dummies. So they can't answer the questions. And they can't, they said name five countries. - They're like, what's the capital of Paris? - Barcelona and they're like, you're an idiot. That's a shitty. - And she's like, yeah, I would be screwed. - Yeah, we all might have issues on this podcast honestly. - So it's kind of like who wants to be smarter than a fifth grader or whatever, right? Who wants to be? Who wants to be smarter than a fifth grader? - Who would, who would, who would even want that? - Cause then you have to like have important jobs. - Who's the name of that show? - Are you smarter than a fifth grader? - That's right. - Yes, okay. - I think I mixed two game shows together. - You did. - You did. - Nice, dude. - Oops. - Oops, I did it again. - Well, I don't know. Maybe I got to check that out. Cause I wasn't very, like the, I don't know, the whole manosphere, I don't really give it too much energy. - I find it so interesting, dude. I think it's, this is not, so, this is not a shock. - To me, it's like kind of what we were talking about, like with the gooners, like to me and feel. Like what sucks about it is like, to me, it feels like it's just being done to get reaction. But it's starting to seem like people are actually drinking this Kool-Aid and they pray at this church. - Oh, young kids, like 14, 15 year olds are online and they watch it and they think like that's how I should be. - That sucks. - And it's crazy, dude. - But that's always been the case, right? that there's been some asshole that kids are like, that's my job. - God, he says what he wants, dude. - That's how I'm like it. - Tom like it, exactly, dude. - Well, that's like a fucking, who's like, take me outside, how 'bout that? Like that girl. She just like is watching like bad, bad Barbie. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Bad baby, bad baby. - She's like, she's dying, right? She's got cancer or something? - What? - Yeah, I think she's got cancer, right? - Yeah. - Oh, no. - Bad baby. - Oh, bad baby. - And a baby. - She ended up with bad baby, spelled it wrong. - I'm pretty sure it's spelled in a fun way. - It's a V8. - There's lots of H and E. - Bad baby. - Sure, yeah. - Okay, bad Bobby. And is something going on with that, Bobby? - I think she's got cancer, right? - Or so, or chemo? - Or chemo, or chemo. - Take her outside, how 'bout that? - Take her outside for some fresh air. - They can diagnose with walled strums, bone cancer. - Some other giant word of bone cancer. - Yakes. - Oh my God, that's not great. - The pun and the joke is there. - I'm not saying it. I'm gonna let you guys at home do what you do with the bone cancer joke. - Yeah. - 'Cause I don't think it's funny. Sliding the police together with your take. - Oh, sir, I don't like it. - Okay, well, I don't want to pile onto this poor girl, but-- - Pile on, again, pile on. - But when she was on, or those, Dr. Phil? - Yeah, Dr. Phil, or any when they would bring on those like teens that are like just from the middle school. - Oh man, those are the best episodes. - They just go to like some like suburban middle school and then all of a sudden they're like wearing, - Ratchet. - Ratchet children. - Right, just so ratchet. And you're like, you don't even know people that act like this. You're literally only watching this online or like seeing it in music videos and pretending to be this way. And that's what's happening now with the Manusphere kids is they're like, oh, that's how we should be in society. And then they're just walking around being assholes to their teachers and their friends in school. - Yeah, that's, yeah, that's a whole thing, is it te-- And by the way, it's like UK, it's UK heavy. - Oh, being a teacher's a fucking nightmare. - It's UK, and I watched, what's the fucking move show with like the four episodes and every episode's one shot? - Oh, Adolescence. - Yes. - Adolescence, did we cover this already? It's unreal. - It is unreal. - The acting, the acting is unreal. - Dude, it's on Netflix, our mothership, it is so good. But I just wanna say like everyone who talked about how like it's fucking dark, it's super fucked up. I was ready for like, you know, we've all watched like Dumber or whatever the fuck else is out there. - Sure. - It's a sad story. It's more sad than it is like dark. I thought it was gonna be like fucking diabolical, but it was just like a shitty sad kid who did something horrible. - Yeah, well he murdered his classmate. - Yes, okay. - Yeah, yeah, but it wasn't, I thought it was gonna be like, fucking basement type sex ring. - Yeah, like cutting off, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - You're a psycho. - You're a psycho. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - I'm just saying, for the rest of society, it's pretty dark. - Yeah, you, you're happy places, NipTuck. And if you watch that series, you'll see the guy, he goes, what was it gonna be? - He goes. - But then there, the kid is like, I'm fucking ugly. And I'm like, the whole time I'm watching it, I'm like, this kid is going to be the next Leonardo DiCaprio, he's a young handsome kid. He's so fucking good at acting. - The whole time Darcy's this murderer. - I'm like, it's not that amount of things just like. - No, it's about this kid. - He's got killers. - He's got it going on. - That's life. And then he's like, I'm so ugly teacher and into the psychologist or whatever. And I'm like, who's telling this kid he's ugly? What are we talking about? - Yeah, he should have found a real ego. - Well, 'cause he hasn't looked maxed enough. - Oh, dude, this kid is maxed. He's maxed. It's all cyclical. - After we talked about that, bro, he like had a heart attack or something. - He hated it. - Yeah, the look maxing clavicular apparently. I like this podcast is now just us talking about hot guys, 19 year old hot guys. - Yeah. - I knew it would infiltrate. - Yeah, he apparently had a, he like overdose dose on some whatever the fuck he's taking. - Okay, so when these upheld, like we're speaking about bad examples, especially in the male universe. - So good examples. - We are speaking about bad examples. - The good examples we are. - Yes, we are. - When something like that happens, doesn't that completely knock the legs out of the movement? Don't you go, oh, Homeboy, his heart exploded and he's only in his 20s. Like, maybe this isn't the way. - Maybe it's not the way. - I would say yes, but also someone adjacent to that guy will step up and be like, he's weak. - He's weak. - He actually, he was a pussy. - He was a bitch. - This is the way. - More and I'm, and look at me, which is like the Donald Trump shit. Donald Trump's like, fucking Joe Biden dying. And I'm eating McDonald's every day. I'm fucking strong as a bull, you know? And people go, fuck yeah. - I'm gonna come. - It's a similar thing. If you love Trump, you all some, if you were a teenager, you would have been look maxing. - You might be look maxing. - You might be hitting yourself in the face or the hammer going, this is how I get pretty. - So there's a real pattern. - Yeah. - There's a real problem with this. - I think so. But I watched a video of him, I think of Clavicular. I think earlier that day, talking about how he does the right amount of meth. And people do too much meth. - Was it meth or Adderall? - He was saying meth. And he was saying, if you do the right amount of meth, then it actually doesn't affect you. It just helps you stay lean and look great and give you energy. And people fucking just take too much and they fuck and they fuck everything up. And then it was like, however many hours later in the club where he's like, oh. - Yeah, yeah. - And just oh, Dean. So hopefully that guy doesn't die. - All the best. - All the best. - Where did he come up with that name? 'Cause it's kind of sick. - I was just gonna say, what can we come up with what our Clavicular name would be? What would you call yourself? - What is even drawing from? That's like, that's just fucking cool. What am I missing here? What is it, what does it even, what does it mean? What does it mean? - I don't know. - Come to Clavicular. - I don't know. I'm sure Todd comes up. - It's like your clavicles and he's so lean and mean that you see the bones in his chest, which to me isn't that cool of a look. That means you're like gaunt, but-- - His real name is Braden. - Braden. - So you have to change that. - For sure. - You change that. - Clavicular is an adjective, meaning relating to or-- - The collarbone. - Yes. - Situated to the clavicle. - Yeah. - Very shagging damage. - So what an interesting like bone to be obsessed with. Why not just be-- - Yeah, bicepular. - Bicepular. - Yeah. - Or huge cocky leaves. - Cocky leaves. - He's got me feeling bicepular. - Cocky leaves. - Cocky leaves. - Yeah, well the thing now isn't having like giant biceps. It's being absolutely shredded. It's having like 0% body fat instead. Like our heroes were the Jersey Shore guys. You know, Jim Tan Laundrie. - I mean, we've come along with our collective heroes who are situation. - We pray at the altar of the situation. - Can we, by the way, one person's name, Clavicular, one person's name, the situation. We, I think we can all agree. The situation is a great fucking name. Clavicular, it's very 2026. It's very whatever, like from outer space. But the situation is strong. - I can't spell it, which I'm upset at that. - You can't spell most things or pronounce most things. - If you, I don't think I can spell a situation either. If you call yourself the situation, you're very funny. - You're very funny. - That's the thing. Are these guys funny? 'Cause even when we were, I used the example of-- - Clavicular is not. - No. - Every interview I've seen him, he's not funny. - Right. 'Cause we said Tom like us. Tom like us was actually kind of funny. Like he, like he, he had Joe's. - Sure. - Yeah, he had a job. - He had an angle. - Hishtick. - Yeah, he had bits. But like these guys, they're not even like-- - You've been Howard Stern. - He's funny. - What was his bit? His bit was you bitch. Was that what his bit was like? You dumb bitch. Yeah. I guess that's funny. - I let you leave. - No, he, no. - He would do some like, some other funny. - Yeah, go ahead. - Yeah, well, I think I think the new generation, these like Gen Z and Gen Alpha kids, being funny, like to our generation, being funny was a super power. - Freakin' peak. - Yeah. - Like you needed to be funny in your, in your group, in order to have any social standing within your group. You had to be funny. - Yes. - And it was a great equalizer. - I don't know if that's true, but I know that that's true about some friend groups. - I feel like in my friend groups-- - I know many friend groups where there's zero funny people. - Oh, that was terrible, it's just yikes. Could you imagine? - Yeah. - Just join a sports team. There's not a funny person. - No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. - There's some fucking funny-ass black guy running back, who is the, who is the king of the locker room. - Yeah. - Absolutely. - And how many of those people went to your high school? - There was one guy. - So what the fuck are you talking about? - And he was funny, and he was funny, dude. - Based on things I've watched, aren't there like funny black people running around the locker room? - They're for sure are, they're for sure are. - Of course there's funny black people. - The funniest race, the funniest. - I think that-- - Absolutely. - There are many funny blacks. - Oh, my people. - Listen, you guys sound like clavicular, right? - But my point is, most of it is just quoting movies that they've seen. - Right, there's not a lot of original comedy coming out of a-- - Sports, sports, sports. - Anyway, I know what you're saying about friend groups. Comedy. - I feel like with our generation, comedy was more important than nowadays. - For sure. - I feel like comedy is way less of a thing. - That's wild. - Well, yeah, because there's no money in it. - What the fuck are you gonna do with being a comedian? - Well, not even money. I mean, just even in middle school and high school, when coming up, the funny kid was one of the popular kids and it was a good way to just make friends. - I think that it also, I think that kids, God, this is the worst episode. - Yeah, I think that kids who are texting constantly, they don't know when someone's joking or not, so they've stopped joking, except for the groups of kids who are always joking. - Only joking. - And that's when you get the gooners at the funeral who are like, "These are my fucking guys. Nothing is serious. Everything is a fucking joke to the core." - Yeah. - And everyone else is like, "I'm gonna have fun crew." - I'm gonna avoid being misinterpreted and stopping funny. And so comedy is just seeping out of normal every day - Interaction, communication, yeah, yeah. - That's so sad. Where's your comedy central cookie jar? It's gonna be completely empty. - I mean, I do, I do wanna, this is so stupid, but look at that. - I mean, this is like a-- - I'm laughing already. - Dude, this is like a movie from the '90s where like, it's this comedy central cookie jar is filled with funny treats and the more funny treats you take out of it, the less comedy there is in the world. - Oh. - Ooh, is that-- - Hupdala! - Like any Murphy, any Murphy, a thousand wishes or whatever movie? - It feels like a bad any Murphy movie. I feel like any Murphy stopped making good movies. And I wish he would make one. But here's what we gotta say. When they did the SNL 50th reunion or whatever it was, he was unreal. - Right. - Legend. - Dude, he is one of the best-- - He was great. - He came on and was so funny and so committed to every sketch. And apparently like, he jumped in other sketches that he wasn't supposed to be in because people dropped out last minute. And he was like, "I got it." And was so fucking good, it was crazy. - He, even in his documentary where you're walking around his like, "Polacial Bel Air Mansion." Where you're like, "Oh, when did this come out?" Is this recent? - Yeah, I believe it's on the flicks and it came out within the last year. (dramatic music) And it's awesome. And he's just giving interviews. And you're just like the whole time, you're like, "Man, he's funny to his core." He's such a fucking person. - Some people when they get too rich, they just stop. - Up to all comedy, you know? They're just like, "Yeah, I'm fucking good." - Which is fine. Which is like probably a healthy way to go about it. - Do you think he's funny with his friends? Or do you think he has a skill set that he used? And that's kind of what it does. - He is so funny with his friends. Neil Brennan, and I don't think I'm speaking out of school, but he told me that because he's always hanging around like Chappelle and Chris Rock, he's just like in that friend group because he used to write for Chappelle. And they hang out with Eddie quite a bit. And he was like, "He is the funniest guy in any room." There's like, you get all those people together, which obviously they're all fucking kings and heroes and are the funniest person in any room that they walk into. He's the funniest. And I'm like, "That is so cool, dude." That is so cool because I don't know if Jim Carey is at this point. - Yeah. - I don't know if Jim Carey is the funniest person in the room. - Yeah. - He's adjusted. - And it's also kind of like, "What is funny?" - Yeah. - That's life. - I let to get him in clavicular in a room and just see who's the funniest, dude.

Where it seems like everyone who's telling everyone to get their shit together seems like they are on a razor's edge of losing their minds, right? That's exactly right. So cool. Everyone who's like I think this is what you have to do to not lose your mind Well, it's them like alone drinking pre workout outside of the gym before it opens at 5 a.m And they're like this is what you got to do to be a good husband or a good father or good whatever and they look Fucking insane.

The stakes have left the building where they're like, why do I have to be so polished and like, I don't think there's a, there's a diminished return, right?

And the next day my world changes. Now. By the way, Ed Sullivan is such an old school, I know, but I'm just going with this. Even if it's Johnny Carson, right? Everyone talks about Johnny Carson, who's a couple generations older than us. And if you're the funniest person ever now, you might go viral, but you have to keep that viral shit going because there's no machine that's going to keep you going. And if you aren't doing sauna and cold plunge in addition to and red light therapy and peptides and trying to get on Killtony, you're fucked.
