Ep 312: Big Juicy Dawgz

This episode of "This is Important" features hosts Adam, Blake, and Ders in a freewheeling, comedic conversation. The discussion opens with playful banter about poolside hot dogs and childhood snacks, leading to a debate on parenting moments like celebrating a child's large bowel movement. They then critique gender reveal parties, highlighting their potential for disaster and sharing amusing failure clips. The hosts pivot to brainstorming new sports, such as armor-clad MMA and a hypothetical gamified prison tag show, with jokes about incentivizing inmates. Adam recounts a memorable airport incident where a teenager insulted his orthopedic shoes, prompting a deep dive into comebacks and the insecurity behind such remarks. The group also touches on acupuncture and physical aches, recommending "old man shoes" like Brooks for relief. Later, they joke about TSA body scans, referencing a Baywatch actress's past outrage, and pivot to movie recommendations, praising Spider-Man films while criticizing the latest Fantastic Four. Throughout, the tone remains irreverent and humorous, with frequent tangents and self-deprecating jokes, embodying the show's casual, buddy-comedy style. The transcript also includes interstitials promoting other iHeartRadio podcasts, like Therapy Gecko and Big Lives.

Welcome to this is important, a production of iHeartRadio, the show where we only talk about what is most obviously very crucially important. Today on This is Important, was it shocking when you saw and the poop was griping? Are they checking for dick size on those things? Hey, enjoy your vacation. Dersus just saying before we started the podcast, he was just saying he wants to go get a big juicy dog from the pool. He's not just getting a fat canine, he's getting a hot dog from the pool across the street. There's a pool across the street from your cabin. Can you pull around the way around the way? Can you pull around the way? It's around the way. I love it. I love it. And they serve these big, thick, almost offensive hot dogs. It's tasty. I'm too big for children. Yeah. Like if you're kid, where they get that, you're like, whoa, bud, or are you proud? You smack the dog so big, you smack it out of his hand. Are you proud if he gobbles that dog? You know, Adam, it's honestly just food. I don't know if I'm proud. Clean plate club. Adam, are you one of those dads that won't let your son like you won't let him eat the banana like the right way? He has to like break it off and have never seen the dudes who refuse to eat hot dogs publicly. So they like break the dog into pieces to eat it because it's suspect. Well, I'm offended that you even asked me that because I think you know the way I eat bananas. I gobble them whole. No bites. The way they should be. I'm a lesbian. Well, I don't know if you're, you want to pass that trait down to your son or if absolutely he should. You don't want to watch one of them touching the banana with your hands. You shouldn't. You should never touch with your hands. You should. You should always be touching the peel. Wait, wait. Do you eat a banana with your hands behind your back? No. He squirts it out of the peel like a cartoon. It shoots in the sky and then goes right in his throat. Like King Louis. And then I gobble. They're afraid to eat foul like that. They do. They do. Hey, Blake, let him gobble. Let me gobble. Bro, you know me. I support gobble. And Adam, I told you I was going to eat this big juicy hot dog and it got you going about treats. Cool side treats. That's specifically treats it a pool. I was just saying, dude, I was trying to explain to Chloe the other day. I was like, I'm a dude, treats at a pool, hit different dude. When you were, especially when you were younger, when you were a youngster, my mom would give you a few extra bucks to go get the, to go to the snatch. Oh god. Damn. Goddamn. Goddamn. You could just go back with a frozen. Snickers. Oh, the frozen. Snickers. Oh, bro. Give it to me. We'd add frozen Kit Katz, which was jam. Oh boy, frozen. You suck a butter finger. I'm a suck on that. Oh, wow. Suck on that. You're boyguns. Suck on that. No hands. No hands. So not to, not to bring back hands or child. Goblin a dog, but you're not proud of him when he eats a lot of food. Like if he were to come back, that's, you said it was offensively large. If he ate that whole dog, well, we were going one way and then you were like, are you proud of him? And I'm like, I don't know, I feel like I would be proud of my son. If he like suddenly has an adult man appetite and then you look at him and you're like, oh my God, he's growing before my eyes. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know if there's a pride. There's a humongous dump when I'm wiping. That's like the younger did beaming, beaming when you go, did you miss from you? Was this already in you? Did daddy take a midnight crawler and you forgot, and I forgot to flush it. And you just said down, you really get hype when your boy, when your boy lays down a big old chonker. Yeah. I do too. And I think this might be where we're boy dads over here, but like you wouldn't understand this lifestyle. Oh, push it. Girls don't, but I would assume if your daughter drops a bomb, you're not as pumped. You're not like, oh, hell yeah. That a girl. Get in here. Is that right? If anything, you're shocked and you go, you don't do this again. You find a way to disperse this way more evenly. This is too large. You cut it off. Um, no, I think it's all the same reaction as a dude, as a, as a freaking dad. You come in and you see a big old pile, but it's serious question. Yeah, I was, I was being serious as I, as I always am. Okay. And I love, I love this for me. Boy, dad, a girl, dad, was it shocking when you saw it and, and the poop was bright pink? Um, it isn't actually, it's, it's, it's not the same color. Yeah, it's not like a, there's, there's, doesn't know this. He comes from a family of all boys. Uh, he does. There's things fascinating, only thing we found in my mom's toilet was a bunch of hair. We've heard of pink shit, a bunch of pink shit. It's like a gender reveal. I do love the idea of some guy who just doesn't know and is, he was, but he was told to detail by the only person he's ever respected about how it's like, their poop is pink. They pee like glitter. Whoa. That's Isaac. That's Isaac. That's me. That's me. Isaac goes, I'd actually use pink poo poo. Hot, hot, hot, hot. No, somehow my, my computer accepts calls now and it will just ring and it's so annoying. And I get so many prank phone calls, not prank phone calls. Uh, uh, yeah.

I get, I get so, I get dozens and dozens of memories from your kid party, uh, two bucks a cup. Uh, um, telemarketing calls and they're not even like real telemarketing. They're just like, they're ways to trick old people. Yeah. It's me. Joe Biden. Adam. Oh, what's up, dude? Oh, hey. Actually, this is a fake recording.

I know he doesn't want to eat sure What he does is he purposely picks something that will be bad. Oh, and then it comes and it goes ah man Oh, I don't even want this. I'm going to go cash out at the bar And then he goes and does what he wants to do you know, I just gobbles 800 calories in Yeagermyster I I wish I was that calculated.

There were like fans there. Yes, it seemed like something Yeah, essentially what I think it's happening is They're saying that the only entertainment will be live entertainment in the future because AI's gonna ruin Entertainment so I feel like every Psychotic entrepreneurs like okay, what's the next they have UFC's a thing do alive is what you're supposed to do like we'll do a live Well the UFC's a thing slapboxing is a thing. What's arm wrestling to thing? What's the next thing dude arm wrestling At least has lineage those are one where they just fight inside of a car Yeah, that one is crazy where you have to like try to get your seat belt off first The other move is to like just start hitting that person so that they can't get their seat belt off and while they're defending themselves Then you get your seat belt off. Oh, I saw another one the other day that was boxing boxing basketball and you're allowed to box each other while you play So that's like part of your defensive strategies like when to start punching somebody and when to drive to the hoop We're just getting This is what AI is doing to us Yeah, they're like well, we need something.

Yes Slam ball slam ball was off the hood kind of a cool idea. You're like, yeah more dunks and then weirdly at the same time Steph Curry blew up and it was like actually It's kind of more fun to watch them drain him from the fucking logo Adam posted a really good one that I think should be up next is the AMMA the armor mixed martial arts where it's like two nights It's basically exactly MMA, but you're in full-body armor and you have like you have horns awards and shields and shields And you just like battle each other and then end up tackling each other and rear naked choking yeah I've actually watched a few like whole matches of that and it's that's why I sent it to you Yeah, I didn't post that I sent it to you Just directly to the Blake yeah, because I knew that you would that would hit home for you Oh, yeah, dude I've already been watching it. It's so cool like the the player intros or fighter intros are so cool man the way you Introduce yourself. I got dude. I I do love shit like that like Like if they just made what I we went to my birthday party a few years ago What is that called as a medieval times medieval times? We went to medieval times and it's so fun And I love medieval times, but if they also like truly dogs to almost the death, right I would be better than they that would be better You know what I hope what I truly hope catches on and I would like to invest in this. Okay, okay is Tag competitive tag. Oh watch competitive Yeah, when that comes great. Sometimes they know what when that's on the Ocho to yeah, yeah, that shit is I used to watch that on my iPad at night when I was fall asleep and Eventually I moved on from it. They just don't have the stories, you know Well, yeah, it's repetitive, but you just don't know who these people are they got and not that I'm like the story guy But like you do need a little bit of that you need a bad boy. Well, I And that's, and that's, hey, guess what? That's why we need to invest, and we need to write stories, and it all ends up being pornographic, like every story. - Yeah, yeah, I was gonna say drunk, but I think you're right. - Yeah, how did this get so horny? - They have to hold the giant hot dog while they do the, it's like you're running, and you have to finish the hot dog. - You have to eat all this fat, all these falagas. - I'm not watching, not watching. - Now I'm tuning in. - But think about this. If the tag is, you're drunk, then that's hilarious, because they're running into those poles. - Well, because you have to drunk undershits, they're running in the poles. - To death. - Well, Blake, you were talking about how you, like, medieval fighting with fucking maces and stuff. - What are you? - Morning stars. - You got armor on. - I mean, they do get worked. But you're saying, what if there is a guy who plays tag, that maybe tags a little too hard? He's like the bad boy of tag. - Oh, yeah. - Pushes his phone. - Pushes his phone. - Or you go to his back store, and he's literally a bad, he's a bad man. (laughs) - He's served, what if he's a tag? - He's served a lot of times. - Yeah, what if it's prison tag? - It's the running man, but it's tag. - I really, it's children's game, but it's. - I feel like we're like six months away from someone making that into movie. - I, you know, Mattel goes, all right. Barbie hit, the next one hit, we're going tag. - Well, the tag, tag was a movie. - Yeah, that is true. (laughs) - I think it was pretty, yeah, I think it was pretty successful. - I was a movie. - Oh, okay, it was, sure, sure, sure. - And it was kind of, it was actually pretty funny. I liked it. (upbeat music) - The whole concept was that there's a, of real life group of friends has been playing tags since their kids, high school or something. And they'll fly around the world to like find somebody on Machu Picchu for like their family vacation. - Damn. - Coming behind them and be like, tag, come here buddy, give me a hug. We've been doing this so long. - I love you, never die. - I think it's something like that. - Somebody help me. - That's cool, I'm in. - That's perfectly explained to the movie. - I'm totally, it sounds funny. - Yeah, I'll be down for that. - I think that, but I do think maybe having some form of a television show that is filmed in like a prison with people that are like serving life. I do think that that is an interesting-- - Did that exist, so? - What? - The show where you just start watching people in prison. And he's like-- - No, but I'm saying that we gamify it. Like you're saying like it's prison tag or we watch like prison. - So what's in it? - What's in it? - Or a humanitarian is-- - I mean, yeah, I know, like I'm with you. I also couldn't care less, but I-- - I mean, I care. - No, but what is in it for-- - Because, you know, well, there you go, I could be in prison, any one of us. - Sure. - Any one of us. - This is okay, oh you went to Adam. - This is the one of us. - Could be in prison for the rest of our lives. If things went the wrong way. - Sure, if you keep skipping out on this spaghetti works, Bill. - I can see it as a couple whoopsies here and there, life in prison. A couple whoops, a couple whoops I didn't mean to, and suddenly you're in prison the rest of your life. - Did I know that? - That's right there, Blake, it's right there. It's a few of those, and then all of a sudden, some asshole comes in and starts filming me all the time because I'm in prison for the rest of my life, and he wants me to play tag, and I'm like, dude, I just want to, you know, I probably re-read a lot. I read all of the, I would finally catch up on all of the Harry Potter books. I never read those. - And I do that. - And you said that you would go for it, you'd go for it. - You're saying that soon as you got a different books, you know, if that's all you have to do, I would call it, yeah, very well read. - Oh, you would get the library quiet. - Dude, I'd be a fuck. - Adam comes out of prison with glasses. - Adam is waiting to get life in prison to crack the first Harry Potter book. - I love that. - That's what you're saving it for. It's your, no, I read the first one. - Oh, you're a rest of 'em. - Oh, you're waiting to crack number two. You got number two. - You have to get prisoners to ask a band. - Damn. - Damn, son, points. - Yes, points. - Never read 'em, never seen 'em. - Really shut, bro. - Yeah, they're fun to watch. Chloe loves them and we will watch them. At the first time was during the pandemic and I'm like, the first one's like a little kids moving. I'm like, yeah, that was cute. And then they progressively get more intense and like, scarier as they go on. And the last couple are bangers, dude. - Yeah, they get, they're good movies. - They're good movies. - But, so I'm in prison. I'm finally reading these books. And then some asshole comes around and starts to film me. What's in for me? - Well, that's what I'm saying. It's so easy to incentivize. You could get like bonus boxes of cigarettes or you could get like extra like time outside. There's just like the reward system. - Yeah, that's true. - If you could get to go, if you read all the books in under a week, you go to go free. - You're free. - Oh. - Well, does that show is watching these guys read? - Dude, and that's what-- - It's called all pretending to remember when you would watch those like, infomercials, like, late at night. And it's like a book selling books, selling reading people on how to speed read. - Yes. - Do you remember that? And they'd be reading a book and they're like, yeah. - Well, what would be really cool? - I just read that entire book in under 40 seconds. - I like this. That's where like, okay, so you claim you read the books, but then you get quizzed on them. And it's like, yo, and then it's kind of like, you've got to do book reports. And some of you were going to be able to tell you, did not read the book or you're reading the book. - Are you smarter than a fifth? - Five years in prison? - Your prisoner. - Are you smarter than I played the fifth? - Greater. - Yeah, but they all have phones now. - They all have phones now. - They're just asking chat GPT, like, give me a quick breakdown of this book. - You're saying, in prison? - In prison? - Yeah. - Well, I've seen lots of like, wild like, live, insta-lives, live from prison. They, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, - You know what, they're working out, they're jacked. There should be some sort of gamification of, - Yeah. - Like a bodybuilder. - Beautiful bodies. So, have you seen the size of these hot dogs in jail? - Loose butthole. - Somebody's hot dogs over there. - I always thought, I really, I'm not in prison. Now that we're breaking it down, prison doesn't sound bad, dude. Like, just. - Hello, J. Lee. - I'm saying, like, you lose, you lose, you lose, you lose. - This is the guy. - This is the guy, do that's a way, from meeting all these people who are hearing you, I assume they all listen. - Oh, word number one, bad. They might have a little interest in showing you how bad it can get. - Yeah. - Okay, yeah, I guess the violence between one another. But if you're just going there and all you're doing is reading here. - The violence between us. - And fucking. - It starts at the end, and fucking. If you're all you're doing is reading Harry Potter books and working out, that's a hell, that's a nice afternoon, that's a nice day. - Yeah, I mean, you're selling me. That's for sure. - And then you have your own little room. - Sure. - There's a cot. - Sure. - I mean, you're watching two and a half men, basically non-stop, right? It's just like, are you? - What else would be on TV? What plays like 24 stars is showing TV? I think this is mostly your reading book scenario. - I do, I would love if Frazier was huge in prison. - No, there's a TV, there's like a TV for everybody to watch like a public television. What would we call that? - You think it stays on CBS or probably TBS? - I think for sure, it's just sitcom. - I think the largest guy in the room gets to decide what that television is on, and he's probably watching tech, the Jeremy Renner vehicle. (laughing) - Crepool. - Crepool, I was like John Hammers in this movie. - Dang, it's Renner. - Renner is a runner. I think they're both in it, right? - I think so. - I like that. (laughing) - I want to acupuncture this morning, not even this morning, like two hours ago, and they must have put those needles in the right spots because I was, she came in and woke me up and I was like, (grunting) and I just needles all over and I like flopped up and I like scrunched my muscles because she like shook me awake and they like hurt a little bit and then she got all the needles out. And then I come up and I just had a horseshoe shaped on my forehead for like two solid hours and just sort of went away. (laughing) But it was a vicious one. She knocks and knocks my ass out. You guys ever get the acupuncture? - So wait, I have never had that before. So it sends you into some sort of extreme relaxation or? - That's the goal of it is you get so relaxed that your muscles then get fully relaxed and tend to butt up, baby. - Does the initial prick of the needle like hurt? Like you're being stabbed or getting a shot? - Sometimes it doesn't, but then she'll hit that point that the muscle really needs to relax. - Sometimes it's so you're so, at least I am, I'm so tense that she has a hard time getting the needles in. - Oh my god. - Just like I am them a little harder. - She's just really looking tense to me. - Sometimes I got danced to me. - My man's like a thick hot dog. - How much, how many needles are we talking? Well, how many are going into your back? Like is it the whole back or? - No, maybe, I don't know. - 20, 30 depends on 15. What she's doing that day. I get it once a week. - Damn. - Who used to get like 250? Was it like Warren Sapper somebody? - I can see that. That's some football players used to get like 250 and they just looked like a fucking. - Well, that's a larger body. - That's a. 250 probably looks like my 30. Sure. You know, it's just, it's just more. You guys are basically the same guy. Do I make you home, baby? You are the Warren, Warren staff of our friends, for sure. Oh, thank you. Yeah. Absolutely. Thank you. I don't know much about my staff. I would like to try acupuncture at some point. I've never, I've never experienced it. I like that. Well, you're one of my friends. Like, Durs, I think maybe could help, it could help him, because he has back problems every once in a while. But you have yet to have any problems, even though you've broken your back. You know where I'm starting to have it. That's the whole thing. He's got the Yamaha in there. Yeah, I got a nice little, it's not my back, but my, this is some old man talk, but pretty much everything below my knees is really starting to give me frickin trouble, dude, whether it's my ACL or the back of my heel. I'm like, I'm after, dude. I'm like hurting. That's just from running. I would, yeah, I would probably chill, chill on the runs for a week or two. Dude, I'm on like week eight of like rehabbing killies and calves and just building, rebuilding. Yeah, what do we do? I mean, so you just got to do like, you got to do just like calf raises where you go down slow all the way, let it hang, and then back up. See, my whole thing was like, cause like, I was kind of feeling a little, I was feeling a little like, a little in the back of my heel the other day. And I'm like, you know what? I'm gonna do what I always do. And I run through in the run, run through it, boy. I'm gonna run through it. So I got out there, I hit the pavement, it's certain, you know? I start to go, starts to feel good. Starts to feel good, I'm liking it. Then I started to hit some unexpected hills and then feel great. By the time I had got home from the run, I could not walk. I couldn't walk on my foot for like three days straight just off this long time. Like the back of my heel, dude. Foot is where you need to walk. And you don't like getting sports massages, right? I don't like people touching me. No, not really. You're crazy. I don't like human contact. I used to, I used to not like that either and then my body fully gave up on it. A trade you. Yeah. So I can disaster my guy. So I would recommend getting in there, getting it, going four times a week. Let Adam do it. Get my cousin in. I like to treat my body as if I am a professional athlete.

I did cupping one time and I was like, I think I'm good off of that. That shit looks so weird afterward. It just looks like red circles on your back. It just doesn't do anything for me. I don't know about all that. I am talking to a felon right now with face tattoos and I cannot decide if I like him or not.

Hey, it's Emily Tish Sussman, and this season on She Pivots, the podcast where women share bold career moves and personal turning points that changed everything. I sit down with culture-shifting women who share their pivots, like Para Olympian Alley Truett. I was like, I'm a month out from a shark attack. There's no way in 11 months I'm making the very contacts. Advocate Elizabeth Smart. I still feel that drive that I can still make a difference, so I'm going to keep going. Celebrity chef Carla Hall was that scary to walk away from such a stable career after just two years? No, I was more afraid of being unhappy than I was broke in a dead and job that I didn't enjoy. And feminist legend, Gloria Steinem. All of us were trying to express women's real lives. We need a meeting place of our own, and if I can contribute to that, I'd like to maintain that and leave this house for that purpose.

Get your cousin head. I'm pissed now. I had this kid that, I think I told you guys about this. It like still, I still think about it. And I'm like, what kind of kid would say this to another person? I'm at the airport and his whole family recognizes me from a minor family or whatever. Still got it. That's how I roll. Yeah, they're coming over their ticket photos. And this guy's, he's on a family vacation. I think it's his family. But he brought his very pretty girlfriend. You clocked, you clocked that real quick. Well, she's like 16, 17, they're like 16, 17 years old. And his girlfriend comes out, she wants a photo. I'm like, I. He brings a girlfriend on the vacation at 17, 16? Yeah. That's a flex, bro. Chloe and I, Chloe and I talked all about it. And then he goes. I'm a man. We got to cover this. Go ahead. And then he goes, nice shoes, man. He does want a photo. He makes point about saying, I don't need a photo in my hand. And he goes, nice shoes, man. And I go, ah, thanks. They're, you know, Brooks, you know, they're orthopedic shoes. And he goes, they gave you an extra couple inches. Like he's fucking dogging me as if I'm wearing, like, lifts in my shoes or something. And I'm like, ah, yeah, they're orthopedic shoes. Hey Adam, Adam, Adam, Adam, Zing. Yeah, so it was a major Zing, but I was like, I still think about it. I'm like, why is this kid was so. Like. Cause he knows. They know. They know. What do you know? What do you mean? They know what to say. They're in high school. They're at the height of like saying the things that just cut to the core. That's stick with you for maybe that's actually middle school, but like his fresh out of middle school. Yeah. And he's got his girl around us right here. And he's like, he watched it. He doesn't even. Got a couple in. Hand on her, Teddy. Yeah. To me, I was like, I, because I also, you know, would say, I feel like I never put anyone down like that. I was like, that's like such a mean. I'm like, he's going to grow up and hit this girl. Your boobs are huge. For sure. There's no doubt. It's already happened. Like, he's a violent young boy. Let me just say this, Adam. Was he standing? Was he standing? Mm-hmm. Yeah. We were standing like 10 feet from each other. Okay. Cause if I was saying like, maybe he was sitting and he was like, do they give you a few extra inches? As in like. He wanted some. Shh. My girlfriends. My hot girlfriends taller than me. Mmm. I need a few extra inches. No, that's not what happened. He was asserting dominance. He was trying to escape. certain dominance. And I didn't even really understand it until like a minute later. And I was like, Oh, he wasn't trying it. Yeah, obviously, he didn't shook you to the core. He was busing caps on you, dude. Yeah, he busted caps. And then I was like, well, his whole family just took photos with me. And I bet they took no photos with him on that family vacation. You little fucking shit. Oh, man, he's got him in the bank. Oh, if I see him again, this is what I'm going to say. Well, Adam, I think this is your time. If you want to go off on him, did he have broccoli hair? Little bit jazz. I can't really remember. It was actually super hot, probably chiseled. Well, I didn't to cry about it. Dick have slack. What are we talking about? Yeah, I think he was probably kind of hot. Yeah, his girlfriend was was pretty hot. So I think he was like, Hey, I was just like, wow, I'd never would have thought to talk to anyone like that. As you know, 16 year old with the exception of Blake. Go ahead. Yeah. And also like, it's not like I was trying to fuck his girlfriend. We're working in the line at 16. She's 16. And we're like, it, you know, in an airport. Yeah. I'm not going to fuck. Yeah. I'm not going to fuck anyone. There's let alone 16. I wish you Adam. There's so many variables about what you weren't trying to. You obviously know that you were in an airport. A couple of them are going to land you in prison. That's one of those. Did I do that? Yeah, but I mean, he was crazy. Like Chloe was right there. We were like travel. I was like, this is more variables. It was a crazy thing to say to someone. You didn't want to. Yeah. That's rude. Yes. I didn't want to. There's a lot of it goes. It goes. You didn't want to get legal. I airport married wife standing with you. Yeah. Yeah. There's a lot of variables. She's not interested. She's not that into you. Sure. Yes. Yeah. Touch it. It was early. But he's mostly he's putting it. He's putting himself in the in the in the child. But it wasn't like we was late night at a bar or something that this was happening that you would go, oh, he's filling threatened for whatever reason. There's no reason to feel threatened here. My guy. Come on, man. We supposed to be. You're in the VIP booth. You've got sunglasses on inside. You're looking around. You wave her through. What else in this scenario? Yeah. In that scenario. Yeah, I can see. Then he could this was at a restaurant. No, this was at the airport. It was she's 24. It's another dimension. It wasn't it wasn't chilies to go. I forget where we were coming back, but we were going through customs. Okay. So we were like in that line. And that's what it happened. And I'm like, that was a wild that was a wild ride. You should have followed him onto his plane. Found out where the hell he was coming from. Yeah. Well, you know, he's a school shooter or something. He's a bad person. Still got a fucking disaster. I can see that. I can see that. Yeah. Well, I mean, it's already shots. All right. It's a boss move. It's a boss move. Do you think he strong armed his girlfriend into the family trip? Or do you think that was dad? Maybe the dad's probably a freaking asshole. Oh, yeah. No, no, no. Come on. Well, good. Let's get vibes on dad. Let's hang on. Let's do a vibe check on dad if he's squaring up at him. I'm saying if you're if you are 17 16 and you're bringing your girlfriend on your vacation, you're already if your dad's like green lighten that. He's like, I think the insecurities are really high. You're really insecure if you're doing stuff like that. But hang on. I know you're going after asshole dad. May I just say? Sure. Possible mom bitch mom. Oh, some of these guys, some of these guys are assholes because their moms are fucking straight up mean girl bitches. It's science. And they train their boys. They train them. And she's the one who's like, you got a hot girl. She's coming on vacation with us and I'm allowed to know my boy and I'm going to get you guys a room or what what are they doing? That's true because a dad a dad can't say, hey, your hot girlfriend's coming on vacation. Exactly. Oh, no, no, no, no, that doesn't fly me. That's mom. The mom has to approve that. Exactly. That is a mom approval. I think you guys are right. Yeah. I think that's mom. And so Adam, so can I get a vibe check on the dad and then the mom? I had to call. I don't really recall anything. He's spiraling. He's a kid. Were you actually blinded? You fell to your knee. You were like, this was a while ago. I didn't. I wasn't clocking any of them. Right. Because everything went white. How long ago was this? This was a year. Maybe a year. Maybe a couple of years ago now. Oh wow. Why did this come on? I forget why. Whoa. I forget why. I forget why. I forget why. This wasn't recent. No, but I'm saying. Okay. I thought this was like the other day. Yeah. Yeah. Sure. We all have them. We all have them. So you don't recall what what the parents looked like. No, I don't really other than like kind of clocking that this is that guy's girlfriend. And then he said. And I'm like, he said what he said. And I'm and it didn't clock right away that he was being rude to me. So you know, it was the orthopedic Brooks shoes. That's where goddess here. That is right. Yeah. So Brooks are wildly popular right now. Okay. They're everywhere. And it's now like a triggering thing for you. Adam, like you don't like going out to malls because you're just like, if I start wearing these, are you going to be triggered? I feel like if I see if I see them, I'm transported back to that line. It's a DSA. And and I hate that. It's not even the fact that he made me feel small. It's it was like I couldn't imagine saying something like that to anyone. That was the perfect comeback. Let alone a someone that my entire family thought highly enough to take a photo with. Right. Or that I was so insecure that I felt like I needed to put this guy down because my girlfriend wanted a photo with him. I was like, whoa. Yeah. This poor kid. Let's choose violence. This poor. What is what is the perfect comeback for this? And I know that obviously the perfect comeback is no comeback. And you don't you just let it roll off your back. But what is the I got mine? I got mine. I think the perfect one is you just unzip your pants and you pull your cock out. What the Adam. I'm with you and your back in person. It gives me a few inches here. You're back in. I don't need a few inches there. It's exactly right. I will tell you. Here's the extra inches. No, no, no, no, no. I've got the and my god. Is that a comeback? They then he is talking about it on his podcast for the rest of his. Sure, which is how she is. The girlfriend. She's like, this is over. I think everyone is. They all start a podcast. She the whole family starts a podcast. Here's what you do. Here's the legal. Did I do that? And that's one of the reasons I've been prison the rest of my life. Yeah. Here's what you do. That's one of my whoopsies. You tell them that you want to picture on your phone of just you and that guy. And you said, I need a picture of that before you guys can have a picture with me. What? And you and you make him take a picture with you. And then you post him on your Insta story and you say, anybody know who this fucker is. If you see him at school, kick his ass. It's on. It's green light. This is bumper. Bumper saying green light. Bump this guy. Bump him up. Bump him up. Bump him up. That's how you do it. That's pretty involved. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But you're going to have a whole week. That's less illegal than my pitch. But my pitch is funnier, but your pitch. No, but my pitch has. We're going for mine has results. You got to eviscerate this guy. Yeah. I'm telling you. Now you can remember what he looked like. And you keep you keep posting normal. Is there anything even like casual, like a soft one where it's like, nope. Do they give you two inches? I don't know if they do. Does that face give you another? I think that's what I said. I think I was like, oh no, they're just orthopedics. That's even worse. I'm, yeah, I was like, I'm old. Oh, you probably said. I'm like, oh no, I'm old. I wrote the piti. Do you need another more inches? I'm just an old guy with a giant cock. Okay. And it took the wind out of his sales a little bit. And that's, and when the wind came out of his sales, he started to feel sorry for you. And the wind came out of his sales is when I realized he was trying to put me down. It didn't even clogged me because I was like, why would he? Why would he? That actually is a, that is a good defensive form that I've used before is that you, you yourself, you yourself, you self deprecate yourself. And then they go like, oh, what am I doing? I'm kicking. We've all seen a mile. Yeah. I'm kicking a broken man. I'm kicking him while he's down like me to put their own game. Yeah, you say, yeah, so you say, yeah, you're, they do, they do a few inches. And I'm still this size. Okay. So I wish he had a couple of inches. They can't do anything about this fucking thing though. No, you have to self deprecate, self deprecate. And you're like, honestly, the only thing I'm good for is eating pussy. And then you look directly at the girlfriend. No, the mom. Hey, Blake, thank you for the bunch up. You look at the mom. Girlfriend heat loud enough for girlfriend to hear. Well, they're all right there. They're all here and everything. So you go, I feel like the only thing I can do is eat pussy like a champion. They're all, they're all just waiting for you guys to walk through the metal detector. Yeah. - TSA is like, bro, bro, come on man. You're holding this up, you're holding it up. Just put your hands into diamond. - Adam, this is what you do. You go, won't you go around the other side of this X-ray machine and you can see where the edges are? - Don't care. - You can see if I need a couple inches or not. And it's just the mushed ass dick photo. You know when you see the monitor and you're like, that's not great, it's just like, it looks like you're smuggling a mouse sideways. - I'm not, are they checking for dick size on those things? You totally see like a ghost of the dick. - No. - You see like a ghost cock. - No. - Yes. - Oh my God, I'm never traveling again. - Specifically on the, the one where you hold your hands up and give the Jay-Z hove sign. - Yeah. - That was the whole thing is everyone's right. - You can be around and they can see your dick. - No. This is not good. We suddenly hear cartoon footsteps running to the airport where Blake's gonna apply for a CSH. - You're fucking disaster my guy. - Oh, where was I? - Hannah Barbaran noise. - I have an application. - Get some Hannah Barbaras for the board, right? - Can I have an application? (laughing) (laughing) - Damn dude, that's crazy. - So wait, somebody like tried to sue the airport because you could see their dick through their jeans? - I don't know exactly, but when they came out with like the new technology, it was like, you couldn't see our dicks. And everyone's like, we're just trying to see bombs. Nobody gives a fuck about your dick. They see 500 of them all day, every day. - I don't believe it for a second. - Sure they do. - You're taking screen grab. - But when they see you come in. - They look like a jellyfish. - When they see you come in, they say, yo, let's see. - Which I guess we forgot how you feel about those. - What if they say like, let's see if this guy actually has a monster of monarch in his pants or not, dude. If you're getting recognized, they're gonna keep you a little longer. - Baby Godzilla? - Yeah, I think that's just a thing for our safety. The TSA agents get to see everyone's cocks. That's just, they're keeping us safe, but that's like one of the bonuses. - And I think you get to see it. - I don't know how it worked with that. - I don't give a fuck. - You get to see Titi's too. - Yeah, but that's honest. - I don't know, can we find any? Todd, can you show us? I agree, of course. Titi's you can kind of, you get to do this. - I think just. - You get to just, you know what's happening. - Yeah, I feel like. - You're not seeing nipples. You're just seeing like the shape, but you can sure. - Shapes. - Shapes. - Yeah, did Todd throw some in the chat here? - No. - No, there's nothing in the chat. There's just the IMDB of a tag. - Which by the way, didn't know, kind of a stacked cast here, tag Ed Helms. - Oh yeah. - Jay Johnson, who's really, he's on a hunt streak lately. - Give me a hell yeah. - John Ham, Lowell Howrie, Ila Fisher, Hannibal Burris, Jeremy Renner, Leslie Bibb. - Are she the Jones, sick cast. - Yeah, I gotta check that out. - I laughed. - I, LOL. - Check that out. - My buddy Jeff Thompson directed that one. - That was a good, good, good flick. - Mm-hmm, movie's drunk. I've been watching a lot of movies, I've been watching a lot of movies. - Tag your head. - I'm like, back in. - I'm back. - Oh, you are? - You're back in movies. - I won't spoil any. - You finally go see the Odyssey. - No, yeah, I'm waiting, I can't. You can't see it till like the end of August. It's all sold out at the theater I wanna watch it at. - It's city walk. - Yeah, yeah, don't, just don't. - What? - Why? - Just go see it. - You gotta go at least big screen. - Do. - Sure. - But there's other theaters. - I'm Max, right, isn't that what it is? - Yeah, I want the I'm Max experience. - It's sold out until like the end of next month. I saw it on the RPX, which is Regal's version of I'm Max. - Okay. - And it was fucking sick. - Yeah, but imagine if you could see it at the city walk at the I'm Max experience. - I'm telling you, I couldn't tell a difference. - But you haven't seen the cool version. - No, I'm saying, I know this about myself. As long as it's good enough, I can't tell the difference between 95% and the 100%. - Sure, sure. - Okay, okay. - So if it's a nice big screen and they care about the quality, and it's not like, hey, you're in theater 14. It's down the hallway to the left, pass the bathrooms, and then you get that one shitty theater, where they just haven't picked up the old nachos, stains from the previous book or whatever. - Yeah, they don't pick up the old nachos stains. I don't go there. - Yeah, you gotta do that. - But if you're in one of the big ones, right to the right or left at the concession stand. - With that THS. - Zero nachos stains. They care about the quality. - Sure. - It's the big theater with the good sound. - Yeah. - That's all you need to do. - Yeah, don't wait for months to be a follower. - I want to, I want to, that feels special to me. I'm not, I'm still not sold on the go to the movie theaters guy. We've had this discussion. I'm fine watching it at home. I like that. But I think that makes it special enough that I would love to go. - This is why they never cast you in movies play 'cause you say things like that, allowed. - No, I'm back though. I'm back. - Yeah, it's gotta be it. - I'm gonna go watch Spider-Man. I'm gonna go watch the Odyssey. - Apparently Spider-Man is making a good billion dollar. - Of course it is. Of course it is. All the Spider-Man's rock. - But did the last one make a good billion? - Yeah. - I think it did, I think it did really well. People really loved Tom Holland as young Spider-Man. - I liked the first one. Which one had Jake Gyllenhaal's the bad guy? - That was the second one. - Tom Holland, I believe. Yeah, 'cause Mysterio. - That one didn't stick. - I never saw any of them. - I think they're all dope. I think Spider-Man is your best bit as far as Marvel movies go. There have been quite a few of them now. - And it's technically not even a Marvel movie. It's a Sony movie. - Yes, yes. But they, if you live under a rock, did you know that in 1995-- - Oh my God! - Marvel basically sold the rights to Spider-Man for like no dollars to Sony. And the deal was that they just had to make one every three years, or they lost the rights. - I think it's 10 years. - Is it? - Yeah, I think it's like a crazy long amount of time that they're like, oh, okay. - Well, they could have just phoned it in. - Whatever it is, whatever it is, they got it for no dollars. And they've made billions off of making pretty good, Spider-Man movies back to the Topian McGuire ones. - They're awesome. And I'm not sure what separates it from the rest, why they're always so solid. 'Cause I don't know. - Well, they take their time. - Well, I also think that Spider-Man is a cool, that's what you want your superhero to be. A regular person who gets powers, who then learns, and then you have old Anson uncles and one of them dies. And then you have like a girlfriend that you're trying to impress and she's kind of hot. - That's what you want. - If it's not that, what are you doing? - Yeah. - If it's not that, then I don't want it in my superhero. - Absolutely. - Yeah, okay. So you gotta check a few boxes with you before you. - And the boxes are all Spider-Man. - It sounds like the dude who made fun of you. - So you tell me the Anson uncles are all still alive? - Yeah. I mean, do you guys remember when the first one came out? I remember my high school girlfriend, like Toby McGuire, he was the first Spider-Man, and if you recall in that movie, like most of them, after he gets bit by a Spider, his body is like, fucking hot. - Sure. - And my girlfriend, freaking. - I don't really remember his body being, he was just skinny as shit, right? - Mike. - No, go back dude. - He's rocked up, dude. He's rocked up after he gets bit by the spider. - Yeah, he looks in the mirror. - My girl was doing flips over this dude. I fucking hated him. - And then you were like, "Hey, I bet those shoes give you extra inches." - Yeah, dude, I was ready to take that fold down. - So I'm looking up Toby McGuire. - Look up Toby McGuire, he got rocked up. - Rocked up. - Yeah, he got rocked up. - Rocked up. - I wrote Toby McGuire, rocked up. - Uh-huh, dude. - And, and. - And nothing really. - Oh, actually here it is. - See? - Him flexing. But by the way, wait a second, Blake posted this. - Yeah. - I love it. - It's a fan page run by Blake. - He's, he's stuck. - Yeah, yeah, he's, he's in good shape here. - Yeah, he's in really good shape. - Yeah, he's got like, he's got like young Mark Wahlberg muscles. - Yeah, dude. He's like, it's the perfect muscle. I couldn't, I couldn't compete with him. - That's a thick hot dog. - He had the little glasses on. - He was like a nerd mode, and then he's hot, and it's like, he just had all the things. - This is what you all you wanted. That's why you started working out, wasn't it? - You saw him. - Toby. - Yeah, I'm like, God damn. - Because he's lean in the way you are. - I'm remembering he had good forearms. Is he had good forearms? - He had great pecs. If I recall. - See, he's lean in the way you are.
