everybody yeah was like it was so yeah and every dad and uncle would be like uh past the gray Poupon and you're like [ __ ] we don't have that we just got that that yellow stuff yeah if we don't have that because you're a construction worker yeah Dad you work for the railroad we don't have gray Poupon here yeah dude that doesn't go on our on our brought bursts yeah we had this guy he this guy my mom dated used to be like past that yellow ketchup he would say yellow ketchup yeah that's what he used to call it cool man I think he was in like a war or something he had some like he might have had like some uh he was in like Iwo Jima or something but let me see this there it is right there that's the guy yeah that's the guy dude well it looks like there was a lot of different guys over the years they didn't stick they didn't stick with the the one spokesman yeah that was this was like and this was for a lot of this was the richest guy we'd ever seen when they had this we were like no well also this is still the richest guy I've ever seen who eats with a full-on TV tray in the in their back of their car that's pretty awesome that's sick that's sick dude that's pretty that's Rolls-Royce I every time I'm like I don't really want like a real fancy car because I don't I don't give a [ __ ] you know yeah but then like I I'll see a Rolls Royce I'll see like DJ Khaled in a Rolls-Royce or something I'm like oh that looks pretty cool though there's like a there's like feet warmers and uh like just the back part as it can be a convertible which is kind of sick really I've never seen that oh yeah yeah DJ Khaled I haven't seen that yeah yeah I think um yeah when I see like a superf I don't know I don't like I think the fancier you get the fancier you can get used to and that to me always seems like super spooky yeah because then all of a sudden you know yeah look at that look at back convertible that's sick that is kind of neat that's so cool but that's like a driver you don't deserve to be in a convertible but then also like then you have to have a driver all the time like if you're like quickly you just want to go smash some Carl's Jr or something and then you gotta like call in the driver yeah that's a lot yeah that's true that's too much and people don't realize this somebody took me one time on a ride in a um Rolled Royce or whatever and they said uh we had to park so far away because they didn't want anybody dinging the doors or anything so we had to find a spot like in a lot that was like you know it was a half mile away from from the city from the city yeah you gotta then get a car to get into the city dude you know I took it back I don't I don't need a Rolls yeah we don't need that dude what do you drive you're like a Rolls-Royce yeah I want to get in the backseat but someone needs to drive the damn thing no I'm I got a I bought a Camaro Super Sport convertible 2011 like right when Workaholics came out I'm like give me some of this good vroom vroom and then um and then I never bought a new car I just have that car still it's like over 12 13 years old now 10 12 12. yeah but if you ever leave your family I think that's one thing you have to leave your family in that well the Camaro Super Sport is the car you leave families in yeah you do not you don't have a family if you have it if you have that car if you have that car you're you're going to leave your wife yeah that's the car that's like hey this car it even has a goodbye misses button on it yeah yes and you're leaving with like the Applebee's waitress yeah yeah that's who that's who you're rooming off with yeah you're listening to the Joe Dirt soundtrack which people don't even know they had that yeah I'll do that I bet it rips dude I bet it freaking red how to be good man yeah I uh I I'm doing uh my new movie uh The Outlaws yeah July 7th July 7th it's a happy Madison movies so congratulations thanks dude it's the uh it was the sort of dream gig is to work with them because you know like you just said uh Joe Dirt oh yeah like so many goddamn classic movies so yeah me and Spade just wrote a movie together actually oh [ __ ] and um Riff Raff involved no um dude riffraff hit me up and said he's involved really I'm almost positive he said I'm gonna have to go back and look but Riff Raff is not involved look blessings giraffe baby I think if I were coming out with like a [ __ ] never-ending bubble gum or something yeah you know what I'm saying yeah or if I were coming out with like a uh you know like a shoe that made you jump so high that all the [ __ ] wanted you yeah yes jump like Raph yeah I mean like raphaire yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah like you're literally Jude what about driffraff who would that if they had an animal called The girifraf Joe riffraff yeah I thought you were saying like driffraff like like Tokyo Drift that drift yeah good that's a good movie yeah or is that a cool go-kart track that he starts drift somebody already did it oh dude that's that's what sucks about the internet is you you have a great idea and then obviously some 13 year olds in Michigan beat you to it yeah you know yeah yeah that's the one downside of the internet yeah because it used to be if you had a good idea in a moment you could just say it was your good idea dude I was convinced that I came up with the The Rocketeer Remember The Rocketeer the guys with the pack I was convinced that I had that idea first and then when it came out I was like how did they know how did they steal my idea it was in my journal uh I'm in like third grade or however old I was convinced how'd they get in there how'd they steal it who did it who did it yes somebody they had a rumor going around our area that pillows were taking people's ideas and sent them to the government who was pillows all the pillows big pillow like sleeping pillow yeah it was like big pillow was like [ __ ] everybody and so people weren't using pillows I remember for almost eight months and people were pissed yeah like we ain't [ __ ] oh yeah that dream uh so then you're just smashing blankets together trying to form a pillow you could yeah yeah you're just sleeping on beds and marshmallows yeah sleeping on your chubbiest Brothers midsection yeah [ __ ] you table um but the Outlaws no no first of all congrats on being a movie star yeah dude how weird is that it's very interesting well it's just when we knew each other way back in the day you didn't I didn't know this was this is the the biggest podcaster in the game and you didn't look at me going like this guy's a movie star that's not what we thought no I thought he was a guy in a hallway yeah yeah there's a fellow white kid doing comedy yeah here's another one of these chuckle homes yeah there's another chuckle honky that classic term um and look whoever if someone else probably made that term if Mr if you bring it up right now there's some yeah there's a chuckle honky uh and it's just our photos on a giraffe weirdly don't know why but some other kid Drew Us in his journal uh-huh some third grader in Minnesota put us in his journal and it's oh it's actually our pictures like how did it even do that yeah he wrote pod podcaster underneath your photo actor underneath mine uh and the year was 2012 and look at us now wow but no congratulations well it's interesting because you you start off just as a comedian yeah is that I mean that's yeah essentially I mean we we knew each other for since like being in the hallways of the Improv like and back in the day uh but was your goal always to be an actor I don't know if I've I don't know if you've not talked about this or not I know you've had Workaholics I know you've had a string of movies I know all of this but I'm just wondering where you're your original idea was because it's interesting when a comedian goes they get into movies and they become a movie star yeah not a lot of people have that path so it's just different you know you're a rare person we can talk to about yeah I think uh yeah it was kind of always the dream the dream was like the dream was basically like Sandler's path path you know like seeing like what he was able to do do stand up I wanted to do SNL that that just never came to be uh and then and then do movies um yeah essentially I started when I was a kid I watched a lot of like evening at The Improv uh remember that a e show with like Bud Freeman he'd wear his monocle and then they bring up the the comics and and I never saw it oh really oh yeah it was was it that oh God is that the guy with the uh well bud Freeman's The Improv owner and he died he just died yeah not too long ago uh but he uh yeah so I like loved by stand up and then you Swatch so much of it and I'm sure you kind of did the same thing it wasn't like for me it wasn't like the the best Comics they didn't inspire me because I was like I'm not that smart like I can't figure that out [ __ ] out Oh you mean like a Louis ckara Steven Wright or something or like a Chris Rock or something yeah Chris Rock you know where you're just like oh God these guys are geniuses it was like the guys I saw on TV that like weren't that good and I was like well I could be that good right I know I could be that good if that's what takes that's what it takes to get on TV I know I could be that successful I can do that uh yeah and so and then even at the Improv had everybody but um oh wow but he was watching some some of these people and they were like oh they're not that funny dude I can be that funny right and then I uh I got a job at The Improv which I think is probably around when I met you and and that was in like 2004. it was Anthony Clark working there then too or not do you remember that Anthony Clark wasn't yeah he was there all the time but he wasn't working there then no because I would see oh no he never worked he never worked there he was just always he was always there was he there then that's what I mean yeah no he was he was drinking at the bar so much that that we should have paid him uh yes sorry Anthony I haven't seen Anthony Clark in years and no one has wow he was a he was a television star I mean he was on one of the biggest shows yeah uh yes dear yes and then uh his other show is Boston Common oh yeah that deep cut references I have to get dude I would love to sit and talk with Anthony Clark I bet he would be really interesting oh yeah wow I haven't seen him in years anyway sorry I hadn't thought about that so you worked at The Improv yeah and then it was like uh it was you crossed when you got on stage we did a show at USC together one time I remember yeah that's right and um that might have been maybe when Workaholics was out and then after that came out it was just you just went into this other world that a lot of us aren't in yeah well we got so [ __ ] lucky you know it was like that's what it is it's like you just sort of prepare and try to put yourself in the right place at the right time and then and then you get your shot and hopefully you're able to hit it you know yeah and we we got so lucky it was funny like when Workaholics came out because like I was kind of the kid at The Improv where I was like working the door and [ __ ] and then I'd come on stage and like there wasn't a ton of respect it was like yeah we know he worked here right uh like yeah some of you that guy would even be up there he'd be mid-order he'd be taking his fries they'd call his name yeah I remember watching one guy do us that was I'm with fries yeah so it wasn't like a uh and then as soon as soon as the the show came out where hogs came out then all of a sudden it was like all the older Comics were like oh hey what's up man I'm like yeah [ __ ] you don't know me oh so now we're friends okay that's a good point yeah Hollywood is weird like that man it is weird there's a certain sometimes there's a certain like you want someone needs to have the same experiences as you and then that can bring you it can make you feel like you can talk to somebody or things you're a little more comfortable yeah there are weird lessons yeah there's a lot there's like there's levels to this [ __ ] as Meek Mill said yeah uh and it's true it's like you just talk to people that are like I feel like we are kind of in the same class within like a few years of each other kind of know you know and uh and then there's like kids that are coming up that you're like oh they're the class beneath beneath us and and it's not that they're worse or better it's it's just that they were a different they came up at a different time oh yeah I feel like it's it's like whoever you were like doing open mics with or like doing the like first group of like bringer shows with yeah that's who you're like hey yeah hey we're gonna be friends forever because we performed in a Chinese restaurant you know because we're performing when there's literally bowling happening right here like they were getting heckled by bowling pins uh so we're always gonna know each other yeah yeah there's something kind of uh there's something um it's a it's weird that yeah there's something weird about that when you come in at the same time who kind of introduces you to somebody else's interesting too because it's almost like uh how you if somebody like you get co-signed kind of somebody to be you know because some people it's like um you almost some people they get their lives get so busy it's like it's hard for them to just be friends with every single person that comes along too you know as their career gets busier and they get more known I know dude like now I go I'll go into the Improv and [ __ ] and I like won't know people which is which is like that sucks because it used to be like you go to the comedy club and you know everybody yeah like you know everybody including like the wait staff and you just you just know people oh yeah and then now you're I'm like I go in there and I'm like hello yeah I used to be a comedian back in the day I would go on this very stage Ah that's awesome man um well congrats man congrats on having it and and a steady career in in movies too because I know that probably gets pretty tricky um I want to I want to think about what that's like with you and but first I want to think a little bit about you know the the new movie because Tom Segura has his specialist coming out on the same day yeah I think it's it's the same day or just about this that's awesome yeah yeah that's awesome he was just on his episodes up right now um yeah he's Tom is so funny uh yeah sir tell me about Outlaws man let me let me I want to know a little bit about it yeah so I mean you're an executive producer I know that yeah producer on it I uh the the writers uh Ben I'm always butcher his last name like I got called out on my agent was like you're [ __ ] up this guy's name it's z-a-z-o-v-e then great guy awesome writer Ben and Evan Turner uh they wrote the movie super funny they brought me this idea like at like years ago at the tail end of Workaholics and they're like it's your it's Meet the Parents meets heat and so it's if your parents are uh your future in-laws are International Bank Robbers okay and they rob the bank that you work for uh and so yeah so they're there they are and and we cast Pierce Brosnan Pierce Bros oh my god wow man Nina Dobrev plays my fiancee Michael rookers in it uh you know Lil Rel oh little rails in there yeah my boy Blake Anderson has a has a a small part in it yeah so it's the cast is sick so they they pitched me this idea and I'm like just a [ __ ] idiot dude and I was like that is a brilliant idea for a movie I want to do this movie wrote it down in my notebook lost that notebook immediately forgot all about it and years later I'm like looking through an old notebook being like Oh what what Brilliance did I write gross hated bad idea stupid yeah recipe yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah it just is apples and it's just saying to eat fruit uh and then and then it was this idea and I was like oh [ __ ] that's brilliant I reached out to the guy those guys I was like hey I'm sure John Cena is attached or something you know someone has already beat me to this yeah Flavor Flav Flavor Flav is probably you know that movie star Flavor Flav uh and then uh they were like no nothing so wow I uh developed it with them we took it to Netflix sold it and then brought on uh Happy Madison from Sailors company oh that's great yeah now it was cool it was it's cool when it works out you know yeah well it's so hard to get a movie created Created into the Finish Line especially these days it seems even harder dude especially comedies nowadays you have to like mask it this is why it's a big action comedy because you really have to go like action action and then and then it's a comedy but this we we it's just like it's it's why I was so happy to work with Sanders company is we could just go Full Steam on the comedy as opposed to you know you watch comedies nowadays and you're like no this isn't a [ __ ] comedy you're not where's the jokes like where's the Bits bad yeah somebody's getting kind of bad huh yeah it kind of sucks yeah movie comedy movie.com yeah there's still good shows and stuff but like yeah movie comedy uh it's it's hard but luckily uh I I'm my theory is I think I think like Marvel ruined it I feel like superhero movies kind of ruined comedies because they people watch you go to the theater yeah and you expect to watch something that costs 200 million dollars to make and comedy movies aren't that aren't that so you're like well why would I spend the same amount of money to go watch a little comedy in the theater if I could spend the same amount of money and go see something that is is worth 200 million dollars right you know and then they still make those movies kind of funny like they're I mean they're not comedies but there's like right there's ants they're like oh my God is that raccoon talking yeah this is hilarious which it is but uh but yeah so it's not it's not like a real comedy and then now they there used to be something like every Studio would put out several comedies every every year and there was like 45 or 46 comedies in the theaters every year so about every week or every other week or so there's a new comedy in the theaters and uh and then now last year there was like six or seven crazy it's crazy and people need and the crazy thing is is this feels like people need comedy more than ever yeah I feel like they want it I feel yeah so that's what this movie was it was like and there's no like hidden message I feel like nowadays people like you get to the end of what you think is a comedy and you're like is that about global warming yeah yeah you're like is this is just like some deep hidden message that I'm supposed to I'm supposed to recycle more or like you know yeah there has to be something else right oh the Moon is trans is that what yeah is that the surprising yeah okay I guess we do have to think about that don't we yeah I agree there's there's a lot of what was that was a great and that's what your David Spade and your movie is about yeah trans Moon yeah you guys are just the people to to spread that message oh it's about Transportation it's about a lot of vehicles admitting who they really are the cars wanting to be motorcycles motorcycles wishing they were scooters yeah it's just it's where things are man oh dude there's a riveting scene where a short bus uh admits that he's a skateboard yeah and it's yeah it's powerful whoa but the great thing is I feel like you could walk into a place and pitch that and then yeah and they wouldn't laugh you out of the room they'd be like okay well that's the thing you know because I like my job now is kind of well obviously acting and that kind of stuff but then like I'm pitching a lot so I'll like pitch movies uh and every executive is like yeah but why should we make this movie now and you're like because it's funny yeah because it's funny [ __ ] what do you mean like whatever happened to just like we want to make people laugh like it doesn't need to be right yeah right there it doesn't need to attach itself to some like hook in the world right now it doesn't I mean if it does and that's the movie then sure right but it doesn't always have to it could just be like whatever happened to just it's funny for funny sake I know I feel like super bad was one of the last movies that they kind of had like that in some ways like that was really just super fun it like I mean there's been a lot of other funny movies I'm not saying that um yeah but I get what you're saying it was like The Hangover super bad it was like that was sort of the last gasp of like for no reason at all like this is just [ __ ] funny because it's funny you know you ever been injured had something fall along here hit you you working at the lumber yard and dang and I ate by seven tumbles on you

there's also there's like uh like what's the premise of the film again oh sir so uh sure so my me and Nina's character were about to get married I've never met their her parents my future in-laws they come in the week before the wedding they've I've never even seen photos of these people they're like ghosts and they're just the coolest [ __ ] it's Pierce Brosnan Ellen Barkin and they take me out on like night on the town we go skydiving I get a tattoo I get uh like we get I get blackout drunk with them and I'm like the straight laced Banker so this is out of the uh out of the norm for me and I go to the bank the next day and I'm talking to Lil Rel who I who is a security guard and I'm like dude last night was incredible I just need a nice chill day at work uh you know but my in-laws are awesome and then click click there there's a gun in my head two people are robbing my bank and and they have masks on and they say something that leads me to believe that they're my in-laws yeah wow yeah dude and then they end up owing someone money uh because they like bailed with the money last time the person who cleans their money like uh like in heat the person who cleans their money they stole that money from them and so they oh they that woman kidnaps my fiance and is like if you don't give me five million dollars within the end of the week I'm gonna kill your daughter and we have to go rob a series of banks to get uh my fiance back yeah dang yeah it's fun yeah it seems fun yeah it's really fun how long did it take to shoot something like that I had like you know two two months or something were you guys able to shoot in California no dude you don't shoot things in California anymore yeah uh unless there's drugs in the Park oh man yeah uh yeah we shot it in Atlanta oh nice yeah I like Atlanta it was fun yeah Atlanta's cool man I mean it's definitely it's it's it's grown so much in the past 20 years that city um that's amazing bro congratulations so this is your first movie your executive producing too no so I produced uh game over man which is the movie I did with the Workaholics guys and that was uh an action another action comedy on Netflix but that one was like this movie is I feel more accessible like I feel like parents would want to watch this movie game over man like there's multiple dicks that are cut off yeah uh I show my dick and my butthole in the movie oh wow yeah dude you gotta you gotta check that out and uh you you know should check it out and yeah so a very very funny movie but I feel like this is a little more uh accessible to everyone I haven't I haven't seen this I can't believe I didn't even know about this yeah dude yeah it's so hard to know about things these days do you feel like that too yeah there's so much happening yeah I feel like it's uh there's just too much [ __ ] that's out there and we used to and also our phones are a device that we go to now for entertainment there used to be one device really yeah you know it was your television and then it became your television and your computer and that's when streaming really was at an insane level you know and then now it's your television your computer and your phone you know so I feel like it's yeah and it's also like the algorithm just kind of pushes things your way and if for whatever reason yeah it didn't push it your way then you have no no clue oh dude I walked into the last Blockbuster probably one years ago and I walked in there dude and it was like it was on it was unbelievable and this is what was the most fascinating to me about it um first of all somebody that worked in there was like where was this they would look over their glass that you like you were being an [ __ ] like which is like how they always said one person always used to do that and one dude would be cool like trying to sell you weed or something you know yeah uh this is in Bend Oregon it's the last one oh wow so there it is right there boy and that's because they don't get internet up there or they're just really I think just this lady doesn't want it to shut down whoever this is in the picture maybe yeah that's probably her um but it's crazy I mean you go in and it's you walk through the aisles and the interesting part is how many options there are you don't realize how many because when we look on a screen there's like the 10 or 12 options and even if you look around you can barely find but in the store I mean suddenly I'm like oh what about this maybe I hadn't thought about this movie or I'll pick it up I'm like oh this will really be great and I realized how much of our ability to choose for ourselves without even realizing it disappeared when it went to uh streaming platforms yeah it used to be fun and it used to go just in like the weird artwork you'd be like let's give this one a try yeah like that that person showing like half of a nipple yeah oh God I see the other half you got to see the other half of the nipple do you think they're going to show the bottom half of this nipple in the movie God come on dude yeah I gotta run this and then the crazy part was if it was a nipple movie I'd always get raisin Nets dude because you want to have them Sticky Fingers well I just want to have it's almost that fourth dimension of a nipple they're almost like little nipples that's true dude that'd be great for porn movies if they had a box of like little like you know how they have those like 4D seats in theaters now like a 4D porn chair all this you're just getting hoes spray weird smells like oh god oh Jesus Too Close yeah I was like and then it like bumps you from behind if there's like a doggy style scene or something like Whoa this is whoa who's that wait so you're getting [ __ ] today yeah all right yeah yeah it depends on what you're watching yeah it makes sense I think there's different types of chairs for sure yeah you might have to invest uh in the right chair for you you know that's what we're saying invest in the right porn chair for you that's all that matters um but it was pretty fascinating just how many options there were and I had never realized how much that went away I mean because next you know I'm in the drama section and I'm in the comedy and then I'm seeing like oh what about this one dude I never saw this I heard this came out but it was like I had so much ability to choose and I it was it was um anyway it was just kind of fast and it was fun because then you would watch those movies yeah you know what I mean like that's what you were gonna do that night like Netflix and and you know all the streaming services yeah I love I love Netflix yeah they are my good guy they are my corporate overlords but uh but we're talking about how the business has changed and that's okay they're worried about it too yeah but like you can just turn off a movie you can watch 15 minutes or something and go affect I don't want to do this now but like when you had the movie and that was what you're doing to watch you would watch a bad movie and watch the entire thing because you spent the eight dollars or whatever it was to rent the damn movie so you're like well we have to watch this piece of [ __ ] we're [ __ ] yeah they're not even showing the other half of the nipple so I don't know why we gotta wait to the very end for the other half nipple to flop out oh dude dang it was something about that huh and also I feel like I feel big candy is probably pretty bummed because you're no no longer are you you're not going to the store because you're gonna go home and watch Netflix and getting all the Jujubes and Mike and Ikes and and all the candies hot tamals hot tamals what are other candies lemon heads oh Lemonheads oh the ones that had the little bitty uh white crystals or the little white stars that's Crystal Method no cats no cats no caps which is also a street term for first one bro anybody that I knew immediately if somebody got Junior Mints dude that they were probably into some sick stuff with children that's what I thought anybody that's my favorite candy it is it is are you serious I love Junior Minster well dude okay hang on it's not about whatever I'm not a [ __ ] kids I walked into it though I shouldn't have admitted it but yeah but uh you put you put uh you get the popcorn you put the Junior Mints in there it's a it's a sweet treat with the salty popcorn they're not sweet they have [ __ ] mint they don't do that's a surprise who rides [ __ ] men from mint is like spearmint who hides it under a little layer yeah and it's all gooey yeah now the gooey part is kind of I do the texture I don't mind yeah but it's just some of the others it's the I just don't like mint I don't want mint to be there when I'm trying to have something sweet dang dude I'm sorry it's okay [ __ ] but it makes me mad I can tell Dude You're flexing on me it makes me angry yeah I could tell it makes my [ __ ] teeth want to climb through my gums oh [ __ ] [ __ ] that's my bad dude hey Lemonheads are my favorite all right okay all right lemon heads were a little crazy too remember how powerful some candies were when you were a kid oh boy yeah I I used to uh tamales were pretty powerful when you were young dude when I was a in high school someone got me as a gift a 10 pound bucket of Mike and Ikes I love Mike and eggs I ate the whole 10 pound bucket in a weekend wow and uh I when I took a [ __ ] it came out at nine not even joking dude it was translucent oh I like I I [ __ ] out like a just a giant Mike and Ike that's unbelievable that's beautiful yeah dude God so now we know what clip uh is gonna be used for to promote this podcast my trip my [ __ ] was translucent and I'm I even saying that right translucent uh I just means clear right yeah yeah okay all right yeah they should just say clearly here yeah I was trying to yeah you're fine I don't know why they made that word for it yeah translucent uh allowing light but not detailed shapes to pass through that is exactly what I meant I used it perfectly like I did well really good I can't do they have see-through dookie or not I never even seen that yeah well I have 10 pounds of Mike and eggs every now and then somebody's got to test the science out there and I was willing to be that kid yeah dude there was some you know what there was just yeah that was where you would see new Candy at now candy got it they but there was only a few kinds of candy back in the day it was like a 20 cons or something yeah I remember like payday was like something my mom would get it was like the parents candy yeah you don't you don't [ __ ] pay that no never but like even like a a thousand Grand or whatever that was always seemed like a like an old person's candy yeah but now I bet payday like I remember my mom would always [ __ ] up some Almond Joys oh yeah and I I was like oh [ __ ] Almond Joy yuck yeah that's old people [ __ ] and then now like last Halloween I had a little snack size Almond Joy they're good God don't mind if I do oh they're good man they are good you know I remember when they came out with nerd ropes and I was like they they don't change the game yeah nerd ropes you put it on some licorice um yeah you would see a lot of people doing unique stuff with them a lot of people you'd see somebody some their pants like a thick some thick little fellas pants had been stitched up with nerd Road like damn I mean snacking his pants come open again you always saw that yeah you always saw that growing up dude in the 90s everyone's stitching their pants up with some nerd ropes different times maybe different times yeah those days truly when like that's what that was your what you were doing for the day yeah you were like me and my homies we're gonna meet at somebody's front yard we're going to then ride our bikes to the convenience store get a video game yep we'll probably play video games in the store because they always had like Ninja Turtles or something they did and then spend a dollar and a quarter on some on way too much candy because that's how much candy used to be able to buy man uh you would have as much as you [ __ ] could and I hated Whoppers and then I'll tell you this I love them Whoppers something just happened those candies oh yeah the Whoppers are the the little nuggets little turd balls it's a little malted milk in it yeah I like them too God they were good at first I was like what is it yeah and then I had some more and I was like I can handle it yeah you could I bet you could it was good dude we used to have so this place boss it was past video and shrimp right so we'd bike over there and you get you a little film and then you get you a little pound of shrimp with it right wait what there it was a video and shrimp store yeah off of Highway 190 in Covington Louisiana you bike over there that's sick oh it was pretty I love a good combo store it was interesting yeah so you get uh the video and you get your shrimp man and roll out of there that's sick that was pretty cool but yeah it was just a different time you know it was a different time whenever you go to that uh and this that was even before the chain Blockbuster I think they had uh remember because before that it was like individual yeah like Ricky's movies yeah we had Main Street movies yeah yeah that's insane not even on the Main Street it was like kind of in a neighborhood you're like this is that always pissed me off I'm like this isn't a main street it's a side street at best but they and then they had they they all every movie theater or movie store like that they had like the curtain where the the naughty movies were back there yeah and then you're out you're a little kid and you'd always just like try to try to memorize as many of the covers as you possibly could you just run in stare at a bunch of covers yeah you're like all right memorize memorize uh that's what it looks like and then your mom's like Adam you're like what I went in there I thought it was a bathroom like you think it's the bathroom every time we come in here you always think it's the bathroom yeah and you've peed on the floor and there's six times yeah you're always going in there [ __ ] on the floor I think you're into that scat porno your little creep that was wild bro that was fun that was a good time um what else was I just looking at earlier today that was in the news did you see what were we talking about earlier today we're watching this video uh someone threw their Mom's ashes on stage at a pink concert oh yeah well I mean did the mom love pink this much that that's the thing is this your mom and how many grams is that yeah she just started snorting her mom she's inside of me now and then sings A Pink song Don't couldn't tell you one pink song but I'm sure I'm sure she's great live what's that song I don't know yeah but that'd be something yeah that's about the biggest thing you can do is probably throw somebody burnt mom on a stage well you hope that the mom was like a die-hard pink fan or else like that's you're just carrying around your mom all over to try to like Meet Your Heroes yeah you're using your mom after the fact like if I die and like my future like if I have a kid and then my kid like uses it to like go to a JoJo Seawall concert or some [ __ ] I'd be a little salty you know like I'm up in heaven I'm like I don't give a [ __ ] about like Jojo siwa why are you using me to get close to Jojo siwa yeah like can I get in this is my dad you know my dad is and they just flash a little bag of you yeah yeah throw throw me in someone's face no offense to Jojo siwa I'm sure she's watching oh I'm sure she's doing great one of my friends used to live next door to her actually really and she doesn't she live in like a Cotton Candy Castle or something I think she does yeah I think she lives like on one of those on the like northwest corner of the Candyland board yeah absolutely um she's uh Omaha she's an Omaha girl and so are you I'm on my boy yeah did you grow up around the uh World Series at all oh yeah did you go to whatever yeah oh yeah as a kid uh and then what we would do is we would go out and like people are so drunk there that they will just give alcohol to Children yeah so you you just stand by the beer tent and be like come on man and you're like 13 and they're like they're like there you go I don't care if I go to praise anyway this boy in a full-on body cast is asking for beer he needs he needs one this way then this dead bird with the neck Grace it needs a beer totally dude that's great yeah yeah there's something about like um there's some there was some empowering thing probably for an adult giving liquor to a kid huh yeah I I feel like I haven't done that enough as I've been an adult it's probably fun to see a kid get [ __ ] up is that an insane thing to say or not no dude it's for sure fun like it's always like a safe environment yeah as long as it's a safe even if it's not that safe you know you're like you gotta learn how to handle yourself young man yeah well it is a little bit like when you see like when you see a kid who did not drink and then they go off to college I remember like our valedictorian or like she was I don't maybe she wasn't but she was a very smart girl I was never at any of the dumb kid parties that I was at uh I saw her in college this girl was like cross-eyed blackout like looking at me with like one [ __ ] cyborg guy the other eyes like asleep I'm like this girl is in trouble too yeah this girl Percocet exactly yeah you know who I'm talking about uh yeah I was like she didn't practice enough yeah you got to practice a little bit so then when you get to the big leagues you know how to handle your Scandal a little bit don't practice too much yeah you're gonna get in trouble oh dude my friends would pick me up and I was a lightweight son when it came to weed early on you know they picked me up and one of my buddies uh he drove a church van or something or he commandeered one or whatever I don't know he got it but he'd show up in this church van dude he stole a church fan yeah yeah yeah the church let him use it late at night okay yeah for crimes yeah so but there was the different rows in the church van and whatever row you in it got more detrimental to your health like the further to the back yeah like the back was like people were or you know yeah there's just like a small fire back there everybody everybody's just cracked out staying warm yeah and one of the people staying warm is like an abortion that like made it yeah yeah yeah yeah like four day old yeah there's a there's a failed abortion clinic in the very back where they can't figure it quite figure it out they keep having babies but the front seat they're just drinking like the hard Seltzer yeah right yeah yeah the front seat is just like it's like people looking at a map I look in the direction yeah just trying to figure out how to get back to the church yeah yeah second seed is a hard Seltzer yeah 13 is remedial reading that was always remedial reading yeah so it was like yeah because if you can't read remediately then you also like then you probably can't handle a little hard Seltzer you know what I mean or no that's not probably the exact opposite yeah yeah so if you can't read you can drink hard salsa as water all day long that's all you want to do and it got weird yeah the further towards the vacuum it got weirder but yeah they would come and they would test a lot of times they would give me the weed to test it out you know because I was kind of like I would fall asleep a lot of times like if we go out I would literally fall asleep because the weed was real strong and then they'd wake me up when it was literally time to go home like I'd miss the whole night you know oh look I had a real I had a real sleeping disorder maybe for like six or seven years kind of um uh and so anyway uh but yeah I remember just being in my buddy's dad's van and we would you know we would sleep in there and just get really really high and um and he one of the one of the kids dads had some sunglasses he sold sunglasses for a living or whatever yeah hell of a living oh yeah and with the sun there's unlimited was he like an Oakley rep or these were like knock knock off no he was like a rep oh [ __ ] so we had all the different types you know so that's a cool guy to know it was pretty yeah he was pretty cool he was cool actually I only I didn't know him real well we would sometimes do drugs at his house when he wasn't there yeah so that's pretty cool it was cool we didn't get to know him though yeah but yeah well that's a cool dad not home wrap around sunglasses at night kids were doing drugs in the basement some dad like driving cross country to sell Oakleys yeah to like gas stations and stuff yeah while you're doing drugs at his houses yeah good guy well you think he's a cool bat yeah he's a total degenerate to other adults but to the kids it's like pretty cool guy we're like Todd your dad's awesome yeah yeah Todd senior is for sure for sure awesome but we just get weights and just urinate all over his glasses Supply right like at night so then like the two days later whatever he rolls up to some place with a bunch of just soaking wet boxes and he's like they're selling like hotcakes I don't know something about the stink of these glasses are flying off the shelves man I feel bad about some of that [ __ ] yeah you know we used to there was this girl in high school that we I it wasn't me but we my friends would call her Skeletor and she was a uh very mean to us but for some reason we'd still go to her parties and then my friends were like pissing her parents closets and [ __ ] yeah that's the main thing to do in hindsight you're like wildly mean why are we doing that this girl invited us to a party yeah we're calling her a Skeletor and pissing in closets that's kids that's mean to [ __ ] it's super mean yeah people just did that kind of stuff we had some kids bust these two gals and one of them she had I guess kind of like why kind of big nostrils like me and this other one she had like a lot of gums in her smile and they used to call them uh uh if you take nostril and one of them they called Mr Ed because she had longer gums and Mr Ed if you said them backwards it was alertsen and Derm if you set them backwards sure so everybody always be like oh look it's alerts and in Durham all the time it's just so dumb but it was like people just say it so many times yeah and then like those girls don't definitely couldn't put that together you know so they're like why are you calling us that that's not my name yeah it was just life man yeah God it was fun dude yeah I remember we did a bunch of LSD and this lady got caged up or not lady but like a you know someone that was the same age as us got caged up in this room not even caged up people said hey you're caged up in here and then they were on so much ass and they just believed they were sure yeah I'm like you went to parties and people were in cages and we do we have to call someone no meanwhile you could get out whenever you want this is an unlocked door yeah you're in a backyard it's not even a room you're like there's no way you can escape uh yeah I mean yeah looking back at the [ __ ] that we used to do like you know the movie ma did you ever see that movie yeah I did you know who was in that movie Johnny Paulo who used to work with us oh wow so my buddy Scotty Landis wrote the movie oh wow and it's based on I told him a story about my childhood and he's like oh dude I have a very similar story and it was like I bet a lot of people do and then he wrote that movie which essentially was this woman who used to buy his beer and [ __ ] we'd go over to her apartment she made us call her mom no yeah she'd be like just call me Mom and you're like huh but you're like she's buying you beers here like hey Mom yeah can I get a 18 pack of Busch Light and she'd like make us she would be like wow you got us have a few here before you can leave and so we I remember just like she had like this crazy like four foot zong yeah so like there was also this other adult man like these people were like adults and they're just like bong ripping with like 16 year old kids and I like I took I took enough bong rips and I turned like green yeah and then I lay down in this bed like fully Zapped out of my head and it was her like daughter's bed her like little 13 year old daughter and uh she she daughter wasn't there I'm laying in the bed her they she brings her daughter into the room she goes it's okay just crawl into bed with him yeah and I'm like so green and I can't move and I just this [ __ ] little girl crawls into bed with me and I'm meanwhile I'm like 16 years old and I'm like this is too weird and then luckily my buddies like grabbed me and pulled me out of there and I'm like this is a [ __ ] horror film dude yeah cause that is a that is a horror film that lady could be setting you up who even knows why is there people that are still living that much in the past where they are or what do you think that is like the mom that does that or the dad that that's more of a ma is that more of a mom thing or a dad thing well it might be a dad thing but then uh that Dad is arrested pretty quick I feel like dads get arrested for that [ __ ] pretty quickly moms are like ah maybe the maybe she is uh just being a nice woman and uh you know yeah give him a benefit of the dog guys immediately I think they're like yeah he's a creep he goes to prison uh yeah the fact that we were able to party at This Woman's house and like yeah it was it was it was a strange thing every town has a couple cool kind of cool moms like that yeah you know and they're [ __ ] cool dude and sometimes they drive a van one of them I remember drove a van with like that swimming pool ladder on the back like what the [ __ ] yeah I remember that yeah why did you yeah every time you go up there there's no pool up there there's not a pool there's never been a pool up there yeah like this is a [ __ ] weight limit it would yeah you couldn't put a bullet there this man's a lot yeah yeah uh yeah I feel also vans wear Vans yeah Vans up and disappeared dude they were so good well my mom had a had a a minivan that had like those twinkly lights oh wow yeah not a fan it's not particularly fancy it was called a Mark III and it had like the little lights you remember in the movie theaters that looks like it on the top left oh that's a Mark II yeah that's a Mark II ours was the market oh that's the market oh that yeah so essentially this and then uh dumb ladder and then there was a little like 13-inch TV with a cassette so we would watch we'd watch Half Baked in there yeah you know we would uh you know on road trips I'd queue up some Forrest Gump put that put that [ __ ] on repeat just run it right back dude armor mom got a Dodge Neon car and we'd never had like a nice car before and we went and my brother and I would go and sleep in it at night and slip put the passenger seats down and the uh driver's seat down and sleep in there it was so nice dude pull it up a Dodge Neon yeah you know what I'm talking about well yeah but that's not a van it's just a car oh it was a van to us man it was [ __ ] beautiful it was so spacious because before that she'd had a Ford Festiva oh yeah my uh have you ever seen those yes my mom had they had a Buick that right there the silver ones my mom had that and she used to beat us and I literally that car ran by abuse yeah that's what it was powering my mom could play us like the drums like she would sit in the [ __ ] privacy and literally like like and the roof would like start to droop on you yeah like the root that's what our my mom's car like it would like the roof no longer the felt oh yeah it no longer stuck to the ceiling and it would just start to droop down and you'd be in the back seat with like a roof like hey like it's some swoopy bangs but it's just the roof to the car yeah you'd be like I hate you Mom yeah god get a car that I could see out of dude with that droop roof because yeah a lot of those Vehicles had Bell's Palsy I think yeah it's kind of sad a lot of those Vehicles it was a different time all right

that I really liked was uh um it was a Jim Carrey movie it was called when he owns the theater or he goes back and gets that movie theater Majestic you ever see that movie oh I did but that's been so long it was a good one that's a good I'd go back and like just do a deep dive on all Jim Carrey movies because he's I mean he's the legend I won my fifth grade talent show doing Jim Carrey Impressions no way yeah dude can you still do anything or no I mean no they weren't even good back then it was just like somebody you know it's just me doing mask uh yeah yeah it was good um did you ever go to because you moved you moved you grew up in Omaha yeah I grew I grew up in Waterloo Iowa until I was 10 and then we moved to Omaha and then I until high school and then after I graduated I moved to uh La did you ever go to the Field of Dreams in Iowa yeah yeah cool isn't it it's way cool yeah it's kind of it's in like the middle of nowhere yeah it's just like a baseball field yeah Dyersville it is I I love the Midwest my mom went to school over there in Iowa but um College I think oh okay um there it is yeah it's cool it's cool when you guys see it it's cool yeah I I like the Midwest people like gay people give it such a like a bad rap but it is just it's just people are so nice uh it's it's like beautiful like I was a very pretty State oh I love it like Rolling Hills and just green beautiful Fields you know corn fields it's cool well also like Purina Dog brand was from there's a lot of famous old brands that are from there like John Deere yep um what else oh Russell Stover I think where's that from God imagine knowing him Russell I'd love it Kansas City Missouri oh yeah I can't right there Kansas City Missouri it's like it's like accepted as the Midwest even though I feel like it's getting a little wild west kind of it's a little bit what I like about Kansas City is like that there was like a real Mafia element oh yes because Sam Lewis has a mafia Kansas City there was like the Kansas City mob bosses and like they wouldn't go west to there like so the mob bosses would be in there and they would control Vegas because they couldn't get any closer because the the feds would come down on them [ __ ] at least that's what like Casino taught me the the movie yeah I believe a lot of that yeah I believe a lot of that man um is there a movie that you've been thinking about like do you like so you have this one done is there like another movie that now you like do you have to wait to see how this one does to see if you get other opportunities how does that kind of work in your business because you've had a good you've had a good run a lot of guys don't get don't get some of the same opportunities you know for sure uh yeah kinda you always have to be thinking like what's the next thing uh but yes I think this one so I have a lot writing on this one you know so they they Netflix really wants it to do well I really wanted to do it well and I think if it does well then Netflix will let me make it a handful of more that's great which would be great yeah man we'll make sure July 7th we will uh yeah so um yeah but I have like the next couple ideas cooking right now so as soon as the writers were on strike so I technically I can't go pitch a movie right now yeah so like I have it ready to go oh and then as soon as we are not striking any longer I'll uh I'll flop on into that movie studio and pitch my Wares um do you pitch something before you write it yeah sometimes uh you know uh sometimes it's you wanna it depends every Project's like different but sometimes if the idea is like too weird that you feel like this um executive wouldn't be able to to get it then we wouldn't I would we would just write it and then go sell it uh but if it's like a hooky idea like this are they outlaws like when you you understand the movie when I pitch it to you so you're like oh I get it you could just pitch that idea and they'll buy that idea and then and then you're kind of on the track already um your show the gemstones are you guys finished doing or you're just waiting to see if you could do it again I think we'll probably do it again I'm Danny's pretty confident he wants to do another couple seasons of it it's so [ __ ] fun dude yeah and and Dana McBride is like I'm not you know like you said earlier I'm just like so damn lucky to like the that they allow me to keep doing this [ __ ] yeah uh and it's so ridiculous Dana McBride is like a true comedy hero of mine like I remember when me and the Workaholics guys like way before we got Workaholics when we were still doing like internet sketch stuff uh durs came over ander's home came over with a DVD he like knew an agent that slipped him a DVD of The Foot Fist Way yeah you ever see that movie so good so good dude and um so good Jody Hill directed it Danny is the star of it and Jody's just Jody right on gemstones yeah he directs a lot of the episodes wow what is he like he's the best dude he's just like the coolest they're all just the coolest nicest dudes and uh I mean you get along so [ __ ] good dude when he's trying to break that but if I can break that board yeah he's I mean so funny and we we were writing sketches together and we were right every Wednesday and try to shoot something every weekend that's that was like our our schedule and so durs comes over and he's like we're not gonna write anything we're gonna watch this movie I I heard it's it's unbelievable and we're like all right and we watched it and we were like holy [ __ ] and then we watched it right back we watched it two times in a row and it was the first time that we were like oh we can not that it wasn't great because it was great but it was like they felt like we know those dudes like we are we can make movies like that uh like you know what I mean like yeah like Will Ferrell since he does like these big characters and his movies are like big and Broad can't really do that yeah it felt like unobtainable yeah and so this it felt like oh we could make a movie like this it feels like down and dirty and like we could we could do this like with our friends and then we started to that sort of changed our idea of like what we were doing because we were playing like more characters or doing like bits with with our sketches and then we're like we should just play kind of play ourselves yeah and that's sort of how Workaholics like that was the start of like trying to do sketches where I'm Adam but like an exaggerated version of myself you know and and then Workaholics was kind of born out of you guys being yourselves just in an environment in an environment yeah yeah it's kind of the same thing that happened with me for podcasts and I used to have a podcast with my friend Matt Weiss and he worked works with TMZ I think he still works with them and we were interviewing celebrities and stuff and talking about like celebrity stuff he knew a lot about celebrity stuff he really liked that world and it was kind of a struggle for me because I didn't know that much about celebrities and then uh then I went on Joe Rogan's show and I left out of there one day and I was like oh I just need to be I just need to be myself I just need to be in a place where I can just talk well I think that's when Comics really start to find their Rhythm right is when they when you get over that hump of like like I feel like every comic starts this way where they just they they have their top five comics and they try to be like a version of them oh yeah instead of just doing like what makes you funny yeah who are some of yours early of like the comics or that you do you feel like you impersonated anybody a little bit I know that I remember showing a tape to a guy one time I was doing like a year and he's like this is great if you're like a Mitch Hedberg impersonator very fair yeah I bet I was doing like some Tosh or like trying to be like towards in or or um Jim Gaffigan was was really big at that time and I love how he like plays with the levels of his voice which I still like to do but uh I can see that now you say it a little bit yeah so I'm so I yeah I'm sure there was some of that and then I think like when you start to find your voices when you go like yeah obviously like Chris Farley's like an influence of mine and Jack Blackson an influence of mine and Sandler but like what makes me me and then and then from then once I kind of committed to being myself I feel like everything clicked into place yeah and a lot of that was from watching Foot Fist Way and being like oh these guys are just even though Danny isn't that guy he's like doing a character but it's like they're doing a character from a real place that they can access and not you don't have to like on your 30th movie is when you can stretch and and try to be something that you aren't right right when you could be Tom Hanks it's like Tom Hanks didn't start off doing that yes whatever yeah Polar Express exactly yeah it's it's kind of fascinating man that we all pick up pieces of other people there's a famous book about that it's called it's like bar I don't know if it's called borrow but there's a book about that we all like especially I think in entertainment you can't help but take influence from things like we just interviewed Ric Flair and he talks and he his whole his it was it was Unreal dude I mean he is Ric Flair will text me every year for my birthday I'm like this is the best like no one like my friends don't even do that [ __ ] but Ric Flair is like whoa Happy Birthday Adam I love it dude well it was so interesting but he his his um character his character I guess or some of his things that you know him from their amalgamation of other people right and he says it's not any talking at a shop and he kind of like fine-tuned him you know it's just interesting that's how everything works kind of well it's also like the generation of comics that you come up with like if you're rolling with a crew you all are like kind of taking from each other like without even it's like how groups of friends when you guys are kids how like that group of friends they all have the same terminology they all have the same verbiage like they talk alike they dress alike and you just can't help but but be like that yeah that's just human nature so like when people [ __ ] on me for you know talking like this person or being like that person I'm like I'm friends with those guys like this is just how we talk right and some of it's paying homage to them in some type of way you know it's like you're kind of it's like you're as long as you're not stealing like their jokes or like fully like I bet you would be like yo Adam what's with the mullet if I like get your exact same hair and I started like doing like your type of material you might be like what the [ __ ] Divine yeah but like and if you got held back in the sixth grade yeah if I if I demanded to be held back in the sixth grade to be more like you yeah and they're like but Adam you can read and do basic math and I'm like [ __ ] hold me back hold me back so I can be a [ __ ] King yeah I'm trying to be the Rat King dude bro it's crazy that people just let their kids go through all the great like hold your kid back one year yeah and make him a [ __ ] Legend I I remember the kid that I was like my bully it's funny I've said on multiple podcasts that he was my bullet and then my aunt won Thanksgiving comes up to me and goes Adam can I talk to you and I'm like yeah what's up and she goes do you remember Brian I'm not going to say his last name uh and I'm like yeah dude that kid was my bully in elementary school and she goes he says that you were his bully and that you really picked on him when you were a kid but this was a kid that he like failed a grade in my fourth grade or whatever and was held back so he's like way bigger than me he had like facial hair in the fourth grade he was like and and he was drawn it on but he had it yeah he had it and he kept picking on me and I remember like my dad was like is he bigger than you I'm like yeah and he goes well then violence is your only key and I'm like what and he's like you have to strike first and strike often and I'm like this is some bad advice totally so like I just I like punch this kid in the face like he said some [ __ ] I just like [ __ ] whacked him and then would run away be like so where he could never Strike Back I kicked him down a staircase once like so I was like a violent little kid and in hindsight I was this kid it's bullied but from my point of view he bullied me and then my dad just gave me the go-ahead to be a violent little [ __ ] and so I'm sorry Brian I didn't know dude I thought you were my bully and I was trying to stand up for myself yeah we didn't know Brian bullies are regular people I saw that song dude God sometimes and I pray for them damn we got to get you in a Pitch Perfect movie they don't make good music anymore huh how many how how perfect are you guys gonna make the pitch that's what a lot of people are wondering yeah is it isn't it perfect people are saying it's like when Step It Up keeps coming up people like how yes they're sticking up to the streets like we get it how many places to say that how much should we how much do we have to step it up yes yeah yeah how perfect is the pitch gonna get do you think will it it's still getting dude I'm doing a spin-off show I did uh it's called Bumper in Berlin season one is already airing on peacock it was a [ __ ] hit for them and then uh yeah so I lived in Germany all last year for like four months last year and like just being a song and dance man in Germany dude there yeah there's there's me uh that girl has horns on her head yeah it's a wild show um in it no dude that sucks you're right I should put riff in it uh yeah so yeah the pitch the pitch is still staying perfect dude I'm I'm riding that one all the way home wow that's cool yeah that's what interesting I mean just followed an interesting life man because the ghosting in Germany for four months is pretty you have to work every single day or do you actually have some free time yeah I worked a lot on that one because I was the lead of it and it's like a song and dance show so like I'm singing and dancing every goddamn episode so like I have thought on the weekends it's like I have to go record songs and I have to like learn choreography and [ __ ] and then uh but it was a wild that's have you ever been to Germany um yes okay uh yes I have my girlfriend Somebody almost ran over my girlfriend with a bike over there oh dang where at um I don't know it's about like this little uh it's kind of like by a uh I don't know what it was I don't remember I mean I remember but I don't remember enough to say anything else yeah I've been there not as a dangerous intersection yes yeah dangerous intersection uh yeah so we were in Berlin and awesome City super fun but like also like kind of cool in a weird way where like uh they have this club bergheim which is like the cool Club where like everyone wears like leather dig pouches and [ __ ] and they have this guy that they call him the um piss Goblin and he's like a 65 year old man and like you're supposed to just piss on him when you see him oh wow yeah and he's in a chair is he sitting down no he'll just like well I I didn't go to this club but I've been told all about him and then he'll just like go around the club and uh yeah that's it right there the big Square building yeah and uh and then it's just a warehouse inside and uh yeah it's scary it's like industrial um type music and then and then the piss Goblin will like lay in the the trough you know how they have troughs at uh in men's shitty men's bathrooms yeah and uh he'll just lay in there and be like you can just splash him up you just splash them up apparently yeah freaking put a batch on that dude so it was like kovid was just starting to like wind down at that point and so all the clubs were closed and then while I was there they all opened and we were getting sat at this nice restaurant my wife Chloe and I and um the guy recognized me he's talking to me and he's like oh you enjoying Germany and I'm like oh you know we really like it he's like have you been to some of the clubs they're so fun and crazy and we're like oh we haven't yet you know I'm working a lot so don't have time to go to the clubs and he goes oh it's so fun you have to make the time um this awesome parties the piss parties and then he goes okay your table's ready just so quickly the piss parties okay table's ready you can sit down you here's some charcuterie yeah here's some ginger soup yeah here's some ginger soup enjoy the piss party well dude piss pigging is a big thing I think now it used to um and even vegans are doing it I think it's like piss pigging is I guess when there's like a fella at like a what's pigging what's piss pigging can you bring something up Zach you're leaving on a branch here brother um it's when people are drinking urine I think somewhere oh and like it's like rich I think I don't know if it's rich people do it but it's like uh his Pig yeah let's only get porn don't look at porn please but I mean well it's hard it's hard not to look at porn with the piss pigging because it's probably pretty synonymous with it's like you look up butt [ __ ] you're gonna see some butt [ __ ] then you know dude yeah you know it's like you look up fish big and you're gonna see some piss pigs all right whatever man that's that's how you guys are gonna be about it I'm just looking for more of a technical site okay like I don't want to see that I don't want to hear the symphony I just want to read the sheet music but I think it's people that will drink urine so it's like at these high-end parties I'm hearing you can go around and you pay somebody and then you just urinate into them and it's like uh and people enjoy it I guess um but that's something that's going on but I think in Germany they're very they don't things aren't as taboo to them is that what it felt like or it's more taboo well I feel like in Berlin especially it's like the the freak you are the the cooler it is and everyone's just very open-minded yeah and so like I was staying at the Soho house right in like in East Berlin very nice hotel they have this awesome rooftop uh bar that that we would eat dinner up there A lot of times and uh we were having drinks late one night and it was like it wasn't even that late it was like 11 o'clock and but people go they have dinner at like 11 and then they go to the clubs at like midnight one and then they stay there all night long and there's full-on dudes in like leather straps with like their nipples like pierced and then a chain connecting then a chain going down yeah and he's just full-on sitting there eating a full rotisserie chicken oh yeah just to not get up I'm like that is you don't see that in La you know no you don't see that oh yeah oh here we go you're there's a social media community of people drinking bathing in their yarn for the sake of Health uh so you bathe in your own urine I feel like I'm going to say no to that yeah I'm going to give that a no too highlights from the urine therapy whoa whoa okay so this lady and this lady or also this could be that guy Bill what's his name that used to play for the Lakers lambeer the Walton Bill Walton does he she looks like him alone oh yeah that's Bill Walton now I'm just saying I don't know I thought who knows yeah who knows yeah and no shade to Bill or Luke I don't know there's just this could be AI yeah that's true you can't trust anything anymore but dude if somebody rolled up on you with first of all also Imagine because that woman she's it said 59 years old she said she was uh imagine being yeah 59 this month uh uh imagine because that could be your mom you know yeah imagine your mom get has like a little Health kick like moms sometimes do my mom has them all yeah yeah where you're like yeah I've got got really into salads or whatever and you're like good for you I like that for you you know try to live as long as you can but then she your mom like those full-on like I guzzle my own piss that'd be a bummer she's like trying to give you hugs and and like little cheek smooches you know as moms do oh yeah she has like a breath of her own piss that would suck that'd be like oh that'd be a real bummer that's that movie yeah it's like the sequel to that movie Backdraft kind of but what about this brother right there soaking his uh feed in some urine and letting the dog lick him oh yeah well this man should be arrested this guy has to go right to prison uh and that that woman too Mom you got to go to you got to go to jail this is a bad idea yeah I feel anyone else's month old urine tastes exactly like beer nah dude well you're drinking for sure bad beer yeah that's bad yeah that's bad really bad beer like you could just spend like one dollar more and get beer that doesn't taste like month old yearn yeah non-pit no piss in here but what if what if yeah what if that's the like Bud Light's new slogan they're trying to gain some some drinkers back no piss in here buddy um is your wife an actress too she is yeah she is yeah she's very beautiful lady you posted you guys post a lot of pictures and do a lot of fun stuff together it looks like we do when we tried to do a bunch of fun stuff did you guys kind of fall in love what was that like for you because you seem like you're in love kind of that's the vibe that I get from you yeah I hope when you marry someone you're you're in love that's the that's the the key to the to the whole thing I think but some people don't put their they you know they don't yeah because they don't want to yeah I'm like a very I feel you know because we want to have kids and stuff and some people I have friends that they like don't put their kids on their social media I think I'm just gonna put my kids all over I don't give a [ __ ] I just like my life like I'm a pretty open book I'm like yeah this is my wife these are my friends doesn't my kid I don't kidnap the kid obviously that's a prerequisite oh yeah yeah that's a definitely No-No but it's like but even stalkers aren't that back in the day I think a stalker would come to kid like stalkers even nowadays they're kind of people don't give a [ __ ] about me that's what's cool about comedians it's like there's no real no one really cares it's a good point huh you know like it's like when these people see you at the Starbucks or see me they're they're just like oh [ __ ] what's up man yeah you you want some extra pumps of sugar-free vanilla yeah like that's what I get you know or like yo this one's on the house I'm like no dude I can pay for the coffee and they're like I got you yeah that's the level of stalker that I have just like a cool guy who's a barista but then when that dude shows up later in your living room and he's like yeah this one's on that yes you owe me for that cold brew bro that would almost be a crazy movie like a unique stalker that like just show it like who just wants to brew me espressos yeah yeah he gives you one free thing and you don't even want it and then he holds that against you forever that's like that sounds like a Black Mirror episode yeah where he just you're like I didn't even want the egg white and ham sandwich that you that you made me get it's like I actually had breakfast homie I didn't even want this but but all right I had a woman hit me after a show Once uh stop me after a show one time and ask her if I was leaving subliminal messages and podcasts to her and that was kind of crazy and she was extremely serious she was extremely serious that's scary it was way scary but you were right it was I haven't been but you're gonna start yes three M M's three M M's whatever that means to her uh um yeah I had one time and this was really early on nothing this weird has happened since but this girl brought me a bunch of cupcakes to a show and this was like right when Workaholics was taking off and I'm like this is the best I get baked goods now I'm at baked good level and so I like take I was living with Blake at a time we had just rented this like cool house in the Hollywood Hills and I come back and I'm like Yo dude I got these cupcakes like I'm at baked goods level and I like bit into a cupcake it was the first cupcake I bet into chunk of her hair dude like a full-on tendril like like a lock like a lock like she cut off a little chunk baked it into a cupcake it's so how [ __ ] weird is that dude I mean I what is what is she getting out of that and then now I'm like well now I can't that sucks because I want to be able to eat baked goods from fans I want to be able to accept this polish romance I think dude the delicious you know treats that are given to me but but now you can you never know God that's wild to have somebody's hair in there yeah I guess I guess it was like I'd rather have hair than just like they just a ton of fentanyl or some [ __ ] oh yeah you know like that's for sure better but but still they had our Taco Bell in our town was famous somebody had been doing like Duty and the meat or whatever whenever it first opened up and I know this people say this is an old wives tale dude this is a true story okay and they had and I know people say this happened in our town whatever they shut our Taco Bell down for two months bro and people were losing their [ __ ] minds people were getting divorces outside of it people were throwing bricks through the window um people were right so so people were because the I think the old wives tale was like they used uh like dog meat or something and you're like what no but I love a Cheesy Gordita Crunch how could they do this um but then that's not that wasn't like a real thing so people were literally like a guy who was working busted a guy doing Duty in the meat and you can look it up too I think buddy but this was um yeah they oh yeah in my town I don't think anybody's gonna frown at half a pound of of raw Bichon or something you know what I'm saying but I think somebody goes and feces up a meat you know somebody yeah and feasty up a uh one of those you know um what are they Crunchwrap Supremes or whatever yeah but that's where that really happened in our town you know and it's unfortunate that that kind of stuff happened but that sucks can you find it it may be on a Reddit I think I found the article it's just loading I feel uh 1997. it's an old article bro good year can't believe it happened dude I remember one night I got out of my buddy's piss man with the sunglasses I was so high they woke me up because we stopped at Taco Bell and I got out and I went to live with this other family in high school and I get out and they were there and I was like you ever be so high and you see some people you're like I'm not supposed to see these people when I'm high oh dude yeah absolutely it's the worst that's the worst uh yeah that's the worst God it was the worst man dude what's up I like said what like it's something yeah and they're like hey Theo good to see you it's lasagna tonight oh good love lasagna yeah my agents called me in the uh the other week they called me like at eight o'clock at night and I had alarming I like smoked weed and then they called right then and then it's like the whole team and I like just change agencies and they're like they're just wanting to talk to me about stuff and like career stuff man I did I I just talked for like 12 minutes straight didn't let them get a word in it's just me like saying words yeah that I

Jump Street [ __ ] you're not undercover I've known you since the fourth grade you're not an undercover cop yeah dude you just failed spelling dude you're not a [ __ ] yeah yeah spell officer [ __ ] you can there's no cue in it you dumb [ __ ] oh it was fun man um yeah do you think about having children do you guys have a plan for it or what do you once you get married you have to make a plan to have children or how does that kind of just I guess you have to talk about it with your spouse you do there is a conversation and then and then it's like uh getting off of the birth control and that takes like a few months to get out of your system and then and then it's uh you know then it's game on you got a plan huh I'm like there can be too much of a plan because like it's life baby yeah it's just gonna happen and then and then you just have to then you're gonna have like a homie that you like have to take care of yeah which is you know because I'm you know I'm 39 years old now and like to go this long without having to take care of a little homie is uh you know because I've like a lot of my friends they had kids like Blake and honors had kids almost a decade ago now no so they already have like true little people that they take care of that are like buddies playing sports wow you know do you feel behind the curve nah because I mean like I feel like I also have a whole other group of friends that haven't yet yeah so yeah and work sometimes keeps you busy you know yeah for me I was like I wanted to be uh set up enough that when I do have kids like I it's I don't have to feel like I uh like I know what I can pass on and what there was a point where I was like I have to be on the road all the time I have to be doing I have to have a TV show I have to have a stand-up show I have to have like I have to do all these things to get to the place that I want to be and then now I'm like okay like I could set up a movie and I'm confident enough that I'll get another opportunity to come I don't have to jump on everything yeah there will be also I'll have more time to be a good dad because you know that's pretty important oh I think it's going to be key probably yeah did was there um yeah I guess it's kind of nice to be it is nice to be able to say I don't want I don't want to do that yeah and feel like there it used to be like you you would think like oh if I don't do that someone else is going to do that and then that I would have lost out on that opportunity right when now it's like it's fine someone else can do it right it's just not it just wasn't for me yeah or I don't I want to have the summer to do XYZ like that is more important than this right now yeah and I think like just career-wise right now I feel like I'm in a place where like I can um pick and choose a little more than I used to be able to congrats man it's real cool yeah thanks I mean you too you know I bet it's the same with the podcast world that you've built it's uh it's nice to yeah I remember when it was taken off for you for you and I saw you at the um in the hallway of the Improv and I remember being like just knowing that your standup was really taking off and I was like is it your Netflix special like did your special come out and like kind of blew you up because I think I was gearing up to do my Netflix special and you were like no it was really the podcast the podcast is what what it was yeah yeah and I just I was like oh that's sick like I'd seen all you guys you and you know sagura and yeah it's a whole world yeah it's interesting to have a whole world you know um and I think yeah it's like it's interesting to have so many different people in here get to it's interesting that it almost gave everybody else a different Hollywood or a lot of people a different type of Hollywood you know we just kind of get to communicate um get to sit and chat with people too you know and catch up that's fine I talk to some of my heroes yeah fun to be able to uh what I think is cool about podcasts is it's like it just gives people an opportunity to go like I wonder what my favorite Comics how they are when they're not are they funny just off the cuff or do they have to like write everything down it just gives them a opportunity to pee behind the curtain of like what is kind of like to sit in the back of a comedy club with you know with comedian peers yeah you know and it's not like we would sit down and have like an hour-long conversation in the back of a comedy club because you gotta do your set but it's like it gives people a little peek yeah yeah it's interesting man it's interesting to see uh it's interesting here I like listening to some pods and I'm like oh wow this is this is good you know I mean it's just it's it's nice to be able to talk about things it's nice to be able to see where somebody's career is at how some things have kind of happened for them people's lives get so busy too I've started to realize that sometimes when I sit down with someone a podcast it may be the only time I'm gonna get to talk to them for a while yeah so to make you know to sort of really try and make the time have some um value uh not only to listeners but you know just just like between me and them um what's like uh you know there's like some meme going around of like I don't know of like showing like kids playing and then it's like at some point you're gonna go out and play with your friends and that'll be the last time you played with your friends in your childhood and you're like oh yeah and it's sort of the same with like comics where we all kind of were in the same circles when we were starting out at the comedy store at The Improv the laugh Factor wherever and you just see the same people over and over and over and over and over again and then all of a sudden something happens in someone's career and it takes them this way or that way and then you no longer see those people because it's probably been years since I've seen you yeah so like it's it's cool for the podcast world to be able to sit down with people that you respect and like and uh and have conversations with them yeah and and get to catch up with with people that uh you always liked even if you only ever saw them for 15 minutes in the back at comedy clubs once a week yeah um I don't know what to say after that Zach do we have any other good news was there anything else that we were looking at in the news that was interesting um yeah well uh so it looks they just tweeted this photo last night of Elon Musk is training for his fight with Mark Zuckerberg that's awesome that he's training I love it and I really want to see this fight because it it will be entertaining regardless of how good of a fight it is uh I thought I read something about how Elon musk's mom doesn't want him to fight and came out and said like the fight is canceled wow but maybe that's fake news I don't know I have no idea um yeah I mean it's hard to know these days what is news what is being used as like a ploy to push something um I think that don't encourage this match Maya Musk okay wow well I think she must know that Elon I think they say that Zuckerberg can actually compete Mark Zuckerberg he's a lot younger than Elon right he's only five seven now elon's 5 10 or 11. I don't know the weight difference but if you have a guy that's really strong that small I think he's going to defeat a guy that's weaker that's big well and also Elon isn't known for being like a fighter at all and I feel like no I feel he's like he's like in the Jeff uh Bezos Camp of like he got rich and then now he just space food and treats his body like a temple yeah I mean Mark hasn't blinked probably since 91 or 92. yeah I think he had the surgery I mean you can see that he's writing an algorithm with his [ __ ] eyes bro yeah dude he isn't he is human AI right there it totally is there's no doubt about it he very much has an AI look and Elon looks I think I just don't I don't know how Elon wins but if Elon is low-key I mean you don't even look at he's holding his boxing gloves correctly if you look at the boxing gloves picture yeah he's that chin is way out there buddy yeah that's a great Point even just right there yeah and also the age difference that is something oh that'll wear you oh yeah yeah uh but Elon has a gas he ain't stay up all night and they gotta tweet it freaking yeah yeah you're right he's got gas in the tank so maybe I'm excited to see he's also a lot heavier it's true so you know it's a good point you just lay it on top of him you might win it's a good point yeah I think it's just getting interesting in the world this is the type of stuff you're starting to see and we talked about this years ago about everything becoming WWE you know everything becoming matches it's like you have uh you know Jake Paul and Nate Diaz they're gonna fight you know you have potentially I mean this has potential you know like Dana White wouldn't waste his time on the communicating with these guys um no I mean I would I want to see it like it is it is weird it sort of feels like Hunger Games or some [ __ ] like where like they used to make movies or like in a world where yeah where the two richest men in the world just duke it out uh it feels fake you know and it feels it's so weird now that like like if me and you wanted to just fight there we could fight and then we could like be at Staples Center fighting when it used to be like you used to have to be a fighter you would like have to go through training for it and just be like me and you were like yeah similarly built it'd be like yeah Theo's got the reach but Adam could get inside and then and we could be at least on an undercard yeah we could be on an undercard we could be an undercard for probably like oh maybe who else could go who who else would be on that card I'd like to see Josh Jamel against somebody I could I could he's he's a big man too he's got that long reach big him versus Dax Shepard [ __ ] that's a Bangarang right there yeah we're the undercar people people are trickling in for us yeah they're trickling in they're they're like still or getting their their drinks and their their foot long Dodger Dog yeah somebody's explaining to his wife who we are yeah yeah yeah yeah showing Clips she's like oh I saw bumper from Pitch Perfect is fighting the podcaster guy yeah yeah honey it's gonna get better honey better if it'll get better it's just me and you just just dancing around each other neither of us really wants to throw a punch you break it as I hit you once you break in a song I spin off and then who else is on that card who's under us you said bang rang what if you went like old like a Rufio type of like versus Emmanuel Lewis Maybe oh is Emmanuel Lewis dead but hey we want to put that out there if he's not hey sorry whoever brought Pink's mom to the show they can throw them on stage yeah that's his promoter so 52 52. all right versus Rufio so if you had them too and we need a good female bout on the card too yes absolutely uh Jane Lynch Amy Schumer oh I like that that's fun Jane's a little older but she's she's a tall woman she's longer she's longer and she could she looks like she could go through a [ __ ] like she could run through a wall that lady oh she looks like the like a wind chime that'll beat the [ __ ] out of some music that is exactly what she looks like that's a perfect description of Jane Lynch um it'd be fun man um what else anything else Zach or do you think we covered a lot of neat stuff do we cover neat stuff Zach I think we covered some neat stuff dude yeah learn about piss picks that was informative oh that's so heartbreaking yeah we couldn't really look it up because it is pretty pornographic thank God and I have the blockers too on my phone and computer um but the movie is July 7th that's right July 7th The Outlaws we want to go watch it and what do what do consumers need to think about when they go watch stuff like and how it affects what other movies are going to be created because I feel like that's starting to become like it's always been a thing but with only so many comedies being created last year that's unbelievable it sucks dude it sucks uh and luckily like Netflix is one of the places that is just willing to roll the dice a little more than than other places because it matters so much less like like like the machine and Sebastian's movie um about my father I think uh the fact that they put both of those movies out on the same weekend I'm like that [ __ ] sucks because like you're putting down six movies all year long and then you put two of them out on the same weekend and so like if you're gonna go see a comedy you had to choose between these two and then when those movies only make eight million dollars or whatever opening weekend well you're like well if it was only the one movie maybe could have made 14. could have made yeah 15 16 and then that's a healthy amount for it to make but right yeah so uh so yeah support if you like comedy support comedies watch it tell your friends to watch it um and then and then we'll have the opportunity to make more of them and and it used to be you know well people were like well if you made better comedies then and it's like sure but it's hard to make a movie first of all it's really hard and secondly uh there used to be like 40 shots and making a good comedy and then maybe two or three of them were a classic comedy and you're like well that old school and it came out you're like well there was 28 other movies that weren't old school that came out that year you know what I mean right so the more opportunities we have to make classic comedies the the more we'll be able to to nail it but I I do think Outlaws uh has a potential to be one of those type of movies so I'm really proud of it do you think of um do you start to think of do creating a movie entirely of your own like or partnering with somebody and using your like do you or and doing it direct to Consumer does that ever start to become a discussable model maybe not in your space I mean you're kind of a yeah just because it's the movies I want to make are usually like action comedies and they are you need money I I need money like I don't have 30 million dollars of my own money to invest in the movie right uh so yeah you need a big deal yeah and you need a partner and then also like it costs a lot to promote a movie too like that's where people forget like buying TV commercials to play during basketball games and like things that people are actually watching live that costs a fortune yeah and to put Billboards up and to have you know radio commercials and like to get the word out there like I don't I don't have that infrastructure so like Workaholics movie we were gonna do a Workaholics movie and we were five weeks out from shooting uh you'd already written it already written it we're in pre-production had offices we're building sets had the whole cast and crew coming back and we're gonna shoot it here in L.A wow and then at the top of this year Paramount Plus said it didn't and they like went off on like uh you know the holiday break and when they came back they were like you know what we have a new Global agenda and we don't feel that workhogs fits the global agenda and they pulled the plug from us no and everyone's like just make the movie on your own it was like we don't have that much money to you know we're not billionaires we like we don't have that kind of coin so like now it's just and they own the rights to it too so we couldn't even anyways so yeah we just all that all that work for for nothing how did and that I mean that just goes to show you how hard it is why people don't I can't imagine that movie I can't imagine that not getting made I can't imagine if you're going to find a brand that people love yeah that that would not that they would not think that that would have an audience it was so heartbreaking because it was uh I did get to write a really funny press release though about just I said butt hurt like 15 times and then like how butt hurt I am that they pulled the block which I'm I'm it was funny to see like a variety and The Hollywood Reporter saying Adam DeVine says he's very butt hurt that the Paramount plus canceled the work Alex movie but uh they they like were gassing us up they're like this is the home for Workaholics we want to build out the Workaholics Universe yeah and they're like we want to do like a spin-off show that you guys executive produce maybe we do an animated project we'll do the movie like we want your brand of Comedy to live on Paramount plus and we're like thank God like we have a home base that we could just go to we can make all of our stuff there we can if people love it we could keep the Workaholics family alive like so many friends and and you know people that worked on the show that that would like that was going to be their opportunity and then they just pulled the rug out from us so God super butt hurt about it but um [Music] anything else exactly anything that's unreal man yeah it just shows you how hard it is to get something Pat I just like dude people not it's almost like if it doesn't have Global power if they don't think it can sell if it can sell tickets to everywhere well see that that was the what was weird is like I've been in the Amazon jungle I've been up the amazon and we stayed in a little Hut and the guy who uh was like in charge of feeding us his teenage son new Workaholics was a fan I've been in Germany just like walking along the [ __ ] Berlin wall and people are stopping me saying they love Workaholics I'm like it was pretty Global yeah like as far as a you know kind of a cult comedy show goes I'm like just it wasn't like it was it wasn't like a hundred million dollar Marvel movie yeah so I don't get it you know I feel like they're really trying to figure out what they're doing over there at Paramount plus and they they have not fully figured it out it's okay it's so on it's so it feels so weird sometimes how people who are making the choices don't don't have a real understanding of what's going on or what they or what the Zeitgeist of like people think is funny is yeah well I think it was like it it because Comedy Central hit and it was people of a certain age right that really loved it that they were like just got out of college or was still in high school or like maybe even a little bit older than that that were like oh yeah that was just like me when I was in college or kids that were younger that were like oh wow that seems crazy yeah uh uh like when I got my first jobs I hope me and my friends still live with each other and party yeah boy party all the time uh and then I think like they're like people who had kids that were the right age know about workhogs because they're like oh my my teenage Sons loved Workaholics and I think it was just like the generation the kid the guys that are in charge now didn't have their kids were they don't know so they didn't know [ __ ] and I think it was just we missed that window I think what a [ __ ] that's all right things are going well yeah things are going well yeah but it is interesting to hear about that dude the other night after a show this guy this Mexican kid uh this guy at the show he's a Mexican guy he comes up and he's like this is the craziest request I ever got he goes hey bro can you make a video for my cousin Oscar and I was like yeah man what do you want me to say and he's like uh he got possessed by ghosts that's what he said right yeah yeah he's like oh he got possessed by ghost man so just [ __ ] telling something positive so just try to um exercises demons yeah I was like uh Oscar Homie we miss you homie we miss you come back to the light I didn't know what to say bro but that was probably one of the craziest requests that I've gotten from somebody so funny um oh dude in Germany one time we're biking on the thing we're biking somewhere some guy's in a park had a wiener on him I mean a real [ __ ] um like a dots and you know what I'm saying he had that [ __ ] that thing would go get the paper yeah the long long thick yeah yeah he really had [ __ ] I don't know he did it but he somebody he did it and uh he was swinging it like a rope in the [ __ ] part as you have to if you got a thing like that you got to swing it that's true huh yeah and it's also Germany they don't even care that's just an afternoon there right we were shocked other people were literally splitting up a uh you know maybe a little uh cutting up a kiwi right next to it and having like a little lunch yeah it's fine that's just an afternoon for them yeah just a German Afternoon brother Deutsch virus in Adam DeVine thank you brother thanks Dale good to see you dude Gucci man oh yeah [Music] [Music] gonna take
