Anders Holm (0:01)

Welcome to This Is Important, a production of iHeartRadio, the show where we only talk about what's the most important bottom line critical thing happening on this planet. Today on This Is Important.

Adam DeVine (0:16)

Literally, my computer comes up and it was a skull and crossbones, and it goes, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Anders Holm (0:22)

Can we see LeBron's foot with a cock ring?

Blake Anderson (0:27)

Let's just say my days of stealing bacon may be over.

Anders Holm (0:34)

Buckle up. Yeah.

Blake Anderson (0:36)

Yeah, man.

Anders Holm (0:38)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_4 (0:38)

We're back, man. Yeah.

Anders Holm (0:43)

Dude.

Blake Anderson (0:44)

Yes, Satan. Yes, sir.

Anders Holm (0:47)

Wait, go through a bunch.

Blake Anderson (0:48)

Okay, you got it.

Anders Holm (0:49)

Let's get inspired comedically. I got nothing.

So funny. So funny.

Blake Anderson (0:56)

Zip it.

Anders Holm (0:57)

Oh, my God. Comedy God. Yes.

Blake Anderson (0:59)

Comedy God.

Adam DeVine (0:59)

Comedy God.

Anders Holm (1:00)

Comedy Judge. What the did I do wrong? And what is that from? I don't know what the they're doing.

Adam DeVine (1:08)

There's some of these I feel like you might have uploaded and never played.

Blake Anderson (1:13)

They're deep cuts.

Adam DeVine (1:16)

Right before we got on the podcast, Blake decided to flip off the camera right as sound engineer.

SPEAKER_5 (1:23)

I think that's what it is.

Adam DeVine (1:25)

Mark's son came into frame and it looked like Blake was flipping off his son.

SPEAKER_5 (1:29)

Yes.

Adam DeVine (1:31)

I was like, that was rude, dude. But you weren't doing that.

Blake Anderson (1:34)

No.

Adam DeVine (1:35)

It made me think like, because his son, I don't know, how old do you think that son was? A 10-year-old son?

Blake Anderson (1:40)

I'm a terrible, I'm not sure.

Adam DeVine (1:43)

I don't know. What age were you starting to release the birds?

Anders Holm (1:45)

You know, it's Adam, it's like off the pod. He's throwing the birds, and then it's like 3, 2, 1, we're on, and he goes, I don't know how old people are.

Adam DeVine (1:54)

Yeah, okay.

Blake Anderson (1:55)

I'm not sure.

Adam DeVine (1:56)

Just take a fucking shot in the dark, man. I would say 8, 10

Blake Anderson (2:00)

I didn't get a good look at the boy. I didn't get a good look at the boy.

Anders Holm (2:03)

Oh, so now he's a boy.

Adam DeVine (2:05)

Good enough look to flip him birds, dude, to release birds?

Blake Anderson (2:09)

I wasn't flipping him off. I was showing you guys the differences in my fingers, because one is a little bit.

Adam DeVine (2:15)

One is a little wonky.

Anders Holm (2:16)

One's thick. I'd like to take...

Adam DeVine (2:17)

It's a bowling pin.

Anders Holm (2:18)

I'd like to start with one and finish with the other. What happened here?

Blake Anderson (2:22)

Wait, I tried to... My buddy has a diving board.

Anders Holm (2:26)

Not real. Already fake.

Blake Anderson (2:27)

And we were trying to do dives. He said his pool was 10 feet deep. It wasn't that deep. I went straight to the bottom. I jammed my freaking...

Anders Holm (2:34)

You didn't text me first about this?

Blake Anderson (2:36)

I should have. I should have.

Anders Holm (2:37)

You were out of your depths?

Adam DeVine (2:38)

So wait, you dove... You were trying to figure out how deep the pool was by diving head first into the pool?

Blake Anderson (2:44)

No.

I said before I jumped off the diving board, which this is why they're illegal now, I said, hey, how deep is your pool? He said, it's 10 Let's have like a diving competition. I'm like, okay, I got this. Went straight up.

SPEAKER_6 (2:57)

Aren't you in your 40s?

Blake Anderson (2:59)

Yeah, man. I can't do this anymore.

SPEAKER_5 (3:01)

Dude, I love it.

Blake Anderson (3:02)

I can't do this anymore.

Adam DeVine (3:03)

I love it. I need to have more diving competitions with a friend. Was it just you two in a backyard? What does it set the stage here?

Anders Holm (3:09)

I need so much more.

Adam DeVine (3:11)

We got an hour.

Anders Holm (3:11)

We got an hour. Take your time.

Blake Anderson (3:14)

It was when I was back in Concord this past couple of days. This is like three weeks old now.

Adam DeVine (3:22)

So this is what I'm imagining.

You're down at your local bar. You're bellied up.

SPEAKER_4 (3:28)

Whose story is this?

Adam DeVine (3:30)

You're bellied up and this guy looks over at you and goes, I got a pool and you go, no shit. You have a pool and he's like, I want to do a diving contest.
