Let's gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
We're back! Sorry, sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. You know, I was thinking about you, Blake. I was thinking about you. Oh, I love it when you think about me, baby. I was thinking about you, Blake. Because I was at a party this past weekend. And it was Nina Dobrev's birthday party. And we love her. And fan of the pod. She's not. Maybe she is. Yeah. But... Great episode of Workaholics.
Yeah. We love her. I was at her birthday party, and I go outside, and there were... Inside, it was like at this little speakeasy off La Siena. It's a cool bar. But it was...
pretty small on the inside and about midnight I'm looking around and there's like only 15 people there and I'm like what the fuck like Nina's friends like are we this old that we go home now before midnight on a birthday party on a Saturday this is whack and then I go outside and the tiny smoking area packed Wall to wall. A hundred plus people stuffed, stuffed in this little smoking corridor.
And then I come out and I'm talking to somebody. I'm like, what the fuck is going on here? Why is everybody out here? And then they go, oh, yeah, smoking's back in LA. Smoking darts, baby. They said that like officially? Smoking darts. Yeah. As if it was actually real. And by the way, from this person, I believed him. I just want to park. And looking around, I believed him. Smoking darts, baby.
And then I'm like trying to get a gauge on like what's going on. And I'm going around to people and I'm like, oh, you've always been a smoker. And they're like, no, actually, I just kind of started back up. And then the next person, they're like – Yeah, my husband doesn't even know I'm smoking, so don't tell him. And everyone's just getting back into it, which seems absurd.
But you... One thing about Blakey, he's got his finger... He's got his finger on the pulse. Yeah. It's a blessing and a curse. And he goes along with the crowd. Yes, and I am. Yes, I'm a follower. And he's a follower. He's a follower. What is that, Blake? Because you recently have started to smoke cigarettes. No, that was purely... Well, a little bit. But it was purely a Winnipeg thing.
It had to be done to warm my soul, my chest, my lungs. It was very important to stay warm in Winnipeg. Your bodily...
chimney i don't know if that's exactly true you know dude i don't think it works that way i'm telling you brother there's nothing like smoking a dart outside in winnipeg man okay well guess what it's back in la it's back dude there's a lot of i don't know what happened i think it's because in the 90s there was such a and even into the early 2000s there was such a strong push to no more smoking it's very very very bad for you

Chapter 3: How does the conversation shift to childhood memories and bullying?
Absolutely. I'm not. Not if you're inviting me out like that. No, sir, I'm not. Here's the one. Here's the scenario. No, no. See, for me, there's judgment because I'm not a smoker. I've never been a smoker. And good. And good for you. And please don't. You know, my father's dealing with a lot of health issues because of his cigarette smoking. And Blake's out here willy-nilly with his lungs.
No, no, no, no. I'm done. I saw the light. I saw the light. I'm done. I'm not doing it anymore. You need a light? You know, you know. I'm done. I'm not doing it anymore. How many, like, I know, like, a lot of my family has had lung cancer.
Same.
And my grandmother died of lung cancer. Yeah, my grandpa. But then people are like, I've talked about this on the podcast before. And then I've had DMs of people being like, well, you drink. Yada, yada. You know? And I drink a lot less than I used to. And we appreciate all those DMs. For various reasons. Yes. That's life. But... They care. I, you know, I'm like...
No one in my family has had liver cancer or disease.

Chapter 4: What insights do they provide about the impact of smoking in LA?
I feel like it's much harder to get that than lung cancer. Why is lung cancer so bad? You guys are invincible. Because I think cigarettes are that bad for you. They're very terrible for you. They're that much worse than alcohol. And everyone says alcohol is essentially poison. I also think there's things that alcohol does that maybe isn't...
directly linked like it's probably melting your brain and like affecting you in other ways but there's no way to truly like just point to like oh that's alcohol doing that but it's very bad for you it's all very i think they did it i think they did i think they did figure it out because the doctor because when i went to the doctor he was like how much you drink in a week and i'm like not that much maybe four drinks and he goes well food and drug association has a new number for how many drinks you should have a week and it's zero and i was like huh and that's the whole new thing is like
Pissed out. That's unacceptable. Because they used to say like a glass of wine a night is fine or whatever. It's like a glass of wine is good for your heart. Yes. And now they're saying no alcohol is the best amount of alcohol. But by the way, those guys are nerds. And the people who said it was good for your heart were the wine companies. Oh, big wine? Yeah.
Even the alcohol companies, someone was saying the other day, was like, they did a big study where they're like, actually, alcohol is good for you because it makes you more social. And if you're less social, you're more likely to do self-harm. No. Dude, I like that. Have a drink. Go out. Be social. Save your life and maybe somebody else's.
I heard that from my doctor that two buzz balls a week is actually a really good look. Go ahead. That will...
that will he didn't say that it's healthy he said it's a good look and his phrasing is good yeah he said actually two buzz balls a week is a good look and then he cracked one open for you he's like here you go would you like a would you like a cram blaster on me and i said do you have a grapes gone wild and he said you know it bro and then we we broed down pretty hard and he poured it right into his belly button and you got it
I saw this video online and this drink I do feel would be pretty good. But here's the drink. They sprinkled what looked like cocaine. I saw this too. I think we have the same algorithm. Yeah, we do. We do. I'm listening. Sprinkled what I imagine to be cocaine. Then they poured in the green apple buzz ball. Buzz ball. And then they poured in. You sure it wasn't creatine? T-dose. Creatine.
And then they poured in like a Red Bull. And then topped it off with like a grapefruit juice and some Fanta. And then they chugged it. It's a bagel. First of all, I bet it's delicious. Yes. Sounds terrific. And secondly, that's going to get you going. You have one of those at the beginning of the night.
Whew.

Chapter 5: How do they compare smoking and drinking habits in today's society?
We'll share it. We'll figure it out. Yeah, we'll share. We're an entrepreneur. Here's the thing. This is my stand for anybody watching on Glitter. I'm willing to put any product here, okay? On Netflix, you mean? Yeah. What did I say? On Glitter? Sorry. Sorry. I've had some fake cocaine before the recording of this. Yeah. To be fair, to be fair, sounds like a streamer. Did you download Glitter?
They've got all the new shows. It's pretty good. My daughters love it. Yeah, it's actually free. It's free. It's a free service. You got to listen to This is Important on Glitter. It's really good. Yeah. There's ads, but like not that many. What is that, Blake? Please explain. This is a Guinness World Record setting popcorn receptacle from the Fantastic Four movie. AMC released it.
This was what you could order and get your popcorn in, and it's the largest popcorn bucket ever produced. It's, of course, the head of Galactus. Now, by the way, I went to see Marty Supreme yesterday. Did they have one of those? No, but Chloe, I was like, let's just get a medium popcorn, and she goes, Let's just get a large just in case. That's crazy. Just in case. That's crazy.
I don't eat that much popcorn. You're a monster. Just get it. Just in case. By the way, then she eats 25 kernels and then hands me the jug. Then daddy gets the bucket. Oh, boy. Hoover. And so then it's me just... This is just during the previews. The movie hasn't even started. God damn, I ate so much fucking popcorn. Dude, you gotta hand it over and you go, get this away from me.
Get this away from me. Chloe can't understand that because she has a thing called willpower, which fucking, it's beyond. Oh, sir, I don't like it. I don't even understand how she has this. Interesting. Because she's able to just go, well, just don't eat it. And I'm like, what?

Chapter 6: What are the reactions to the latest trends in content creation and media?
That would be a waste. What do you mean don't eat it? Come on. It's sitting in front of me and it's popcorn and I'm watching a movie. Daddy wants to gobble. Yeah. Well, and popcorn's impossible. And by the way, how large is this? This is, it's huge. I got a small popcorn the other day. Is it a galactic size? It was the size of my kid's freaking head.
uh it just made me kind of sad by the way and you seen that or saying that that is the largest it makes me go that's such a lie because the bathtub of popcorn that they gave me i agree it's huge it was so huge massive this is large but not just where the amount of popcorn maybe this isn't showing up but it has like an echo and it's it's
it's huge dude it's mass we agree we agree but it's skinny that's a skinny amount i mean it's large we we agree it doesn't seem like a world record setting size it seems like what i'm not saying it isn't i'm saying it doesn't seem like it can i just speak can i just speak your truth Look, it came with a diploma. It's dead.
It honestly seems like 30% bigger than a regular large popcorn at any movie theater. Okay, but can we at least say that what AMC is... I wouldn't give it that. Are we talking about capacity? Are we talking about the ears on that thing? Not ears. It's a helmet. These aren't his ears.
galactus doesn't have ears come on i think you're talking yeah the largest meaning what is that guy a fucking moose from space what are we looking at i like that i like that is that rocky
That's a great addition to the report.
Okay, it says it's... The Galactus popcorn bucket is massive, measuring about 20 inches wide, 17 and a half inches tall, and 9.6 inches deep. Holding over 300 ounces, around 9 liters, making it a Guinness World Record holder for the largest commercially sold popcorn container. Yeah, I honestly feel like it's not the amount of popcorn that it's able to hold. It's how with the ears. Sorry.
They're not his ears. It's his helmet. They're antlers. Bullwinkle. Helmet. Antlers. I'll take that. Todd, can you look up how much popcorn a large popcorn at one of our largest theater chains is? Like just for comparison here. Do AMC. Let's do AMC. Okay. I feel like you know something. Do them all. Do AMC and Pacific. I haven't been to a movie in a while. Going to the movies is the best. Okay.
I like watching from home on Netflix, but yes, you're right. You're right. Okay. Well, I hope my favorite corporate overlord Netflix buys Warner Brothers. And then they get to do both. Okay, that's what I want. Okay, I like that. But Marty Supreme, I really enjoyed the movie. It's an insane movie. It is all over the place. Really? It's crazy.

Chapter 7: How do they discuss the significance of the Super Bowl and celebrity culture?
Have you seen it yet? So it's not just like a straightforward narrative. Oh, no. I mean, it is, but it's kooky. It's kooky as all get out. That makes me want to watch it. That makes me really want to see it. You should watch it. It's fun. I had a great time. And what does that mean? Is it surreal? Or is it like real and it's just kind of choppy and crazy? Or is it like wacky?
It's real, but it's so all over the place. Does he do timeout like Zack Morris style to the camera? Is it real? I wish he did. I wish he did. We need more of that. Maybe in the sequel they'll do it. Yeah. That'd be too supreme. So yeah, I went to a Regal theater yesterday and the Regal large popcorn holds 85 ounces. That's a lot. And what is that? And that was 90?
This says it holds over 300 ounces. That can't make sense. That can't be right. That's not right. 300 ounces? This? I'm sorry. And I did pay $80 for it, but there's no way that holds that much. You paid $80? Yes, this is an $80 purchase. You paid $80 for that? Yeah. Can I say something? Upwards. Worth it? Worth it. So worth it. Well, by the way, have you guys seen that?
They do that at AMC is they do these specialty popcorn things like they did one for Mission Impossible. That was like a briefcase. And then they're fucking cool, dude. They're cool. By the way, they need to find ways to make money because no one's going to the theater. So the people that are going to the theater are movie nerds. This is a great step. Who will buy the extra stuff.
I totally get it. This is a step in the right direction because this is fucking cool. Or if you're just a working man, you need a briefcase. Honey, I'm going to the theater tonight. I'll be back. You're going to go to the movie? You're going to watch something? I watched a few trailers, came home with a briefcase. Full of popcorn. Go in the office. Absolutely, man. I love that idea.
They have had some really cool ones, and it makes me want them to re-release old movies with new specialty popcorn buckets because I would pay for that shit. Okay. All right. What's on your mind? What's one movie?

Chapter 8: What is the story behind the largest popcorn bucket ever made?
I want Game Over Man with Adam's butthole, and there's popcorn. And if you haven't seen it and you're on Netflix right now, go on over to Game Over Man and check it out. It's one click away. What about just the Chihuahua, but the head is missing and inside the body is where the popcorn goes? Brilliant. See? Brilliant. Okay, I'm looking at an AMC mega bag. Here we go.
And it looks like it says it holds 400 ounces. Well, that's 100 more than mine. Yeah. What the fuck? You can live in it afterwards. And it holds 400 ounces, but it's just a giant bag. And by the way, it doesn't even look that huge. It looks about the same size of a large bag.
regal popcorn but regardless there's too much popcorn dude it's too much popcorn it sounds like and by the way I don't want to uncover something I don't know what we're stepping into here as far as big popcorn goes true theater chains might start knocking on our doors true I don't want to get in trouble. We should be careful.
Well, that is where the theaters make most of their money is the popcorn and the soda. I told you guys about the – it's this thing called CinemaCon. And when Mike and Dave came out, they had me and Zach and Anna Kendrick and Zac Efron go to CinemaCon in Vegas. And they sort of – all the studios sort of parade –
their big new movies and we were they showed this on the studio the show correct yeah that's right and it's crazy yeah because they come out and like the ceo of amc and regal and whoever else they come out and they're like This was a huge year for the industry, ladies and gentlemen. Let's give it up for popcorn. Yeah!
And then a giant popcorn bucket comes out and starts dancing around like, we've sold $2.6 billion worth of popcorn. Oh, my God! And then it's all these AMC- Orville Redenbacher starts fucking- And regal franchise owners in the stage, or not the stage, but in the crowd. They're applauding. They're standing up, hooting and hollering about how much popcorn they sold. Good, good.
And then they're like, and we sold $4.6 billion worth of soda. And then the Coca-Cola drink comes out. It was wild. Yeah. And it makes me go like, oh, this is like the movies are just a way to get people in the door so they can sell them the popcorn. The soda, the junior mints. And the soda and the giant head of Galactus, some kind of Galactus, whoever that is.
What kind of nerd shit is this, Blake? It's a bagel. Silver Surfer. What is this? He's in the Silver Surfer Fantastic Four movie. Correct. He's the main bad guy from the Fantastic Four. He eats planets. Seems scary. Seems like a scary guy. In the Fantastic Four movie, for what it's worth, you know, I thought it was good. But Galactus was fucking great, dude. They killed.
Would you love it if they were like, he eats planets and they just gave him a giant cigarette? Oh, okay. And then he like took one drag and he's like,
