What's the show called The

0:03

Pleasure is Ours? I

0:07

think I know how we're kicking it off. Do

0:12

you already know the

0:16

pleasure? The pleasure

0:19

is ours? By

0:22

beer down?

0:25

This is a t I I brother, I

0:27

know it's is that how you come out is

0:30

hot and heavy like that. Well that's how I

0:32

ejaculate. Okay,

0:35

it's a it's the beginning of a of a classic

0:38

Reggaetius and nine Sean

0:42

Paul song when Adam Fox, it's like

0:44

a a Jamaican reggaetone

0:46

club. Right when I come, I say, not giving

0:48

the night? Right, pimple? Now

0:51

giving the night? Does it give me the light?

0:53

Is that it's just not giving the night? No way to

0:56

tell, I think,

0:58

just give me that bandament. Welcome

1:04

to the pleasure

1:09

the pleasures. Oh

1:12

it really is God and it is I'm

1:14

glad to be and ours.

1:17

The pleasure is ours. That's

1:20

a kind of fun play on words. The pleasure is

1:22

ours, like it goes for hours.

1:25

When you got a trojan condo mine, you can

1:28

fuck. When you're strapped

1:30

into a trou jin man's

1:33

condom, you're

1:36

able to blink for hours. So

1:38

those are the new trademarked phrases.

1:40

That they're a I say, I I say

1:42

boink. Do you guys have any fun terms with

1:44

your girl when you say because you

1:47

know, I say, I say blink? And now

1:49

it became like a funny thing that I was saying.

1:51

I was like, hey, maybe we should blink ha ha

1:54

gigs, chucks and gigs. But

1:56

she then now says it during

1:59

no like seal, like being

2:02

like being like, hey, let's go. Do

2:04

you want to blink? That's fine?

2:06

Is she's saying, blink me harder? And

2:08

yeah, that would be Is it like

2:11

that time of the night where you're both like two drinks

2:13

at the bar and she kind of leans in and she's

2:15

like, I think I'm ready to point. I

2:18

mean, honestly, yeah, that's not too

2:20

far off. But I mean, who were you kidding?

2:22

Nighttime to drinks? Nah? But

2:25

damn dude, I'm

2:27

talking it away. I'm talking it

2:29

away. What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna double

2:32

up. I'm gonna have four, I'm gonna go to bed,

2:34

and when I wake up in the morning, you're gonna whisper

2:37

in her ear you wanna boink?

2:40

Is it time to pink? Blinkin?

2:43

Since you're so tired there's no way

2:45

you want to get out of bed? Do you mind? If we

2:47

boy, if we boink, how's

2:50

that hangover? And that leads us And that's a

2:52

nice segue into our topic for

2:54

this episode of The Pleasure is

2:57

ours. Failure is the best

2:59

teacher. So sometimes

3:01

if you fail at at maybe

3:05

convincing your lady to boink the night

3:07

before, maybe the next morning, maybe

3:09

the next morning, you can you

3:11

can learn from your mistake. And maybe she's a

3:13

morning gal. You don't know, Yes, I

3:15

mean some of the some of the greatest points

3:18

ever recorded are in the morning or in the

3:20

afternoon. It doesn't happen at every

3:22

time, doesn't have to It doesn't

3:24

happen. Why are we doing it so late? You

3:26

know when you you you sometimes you're blinking

3:29

at like four am? Like why do we

3:32

to boink so late

3:34

slash early in the morning, like four

3:36

am? Like those hook ups are are

3:39

not tied? Dude, get me, get

3:41

me in prime time four A Get

3:44

me had two PM

3:46

right after my peanut, butter and jelly, Like,

3:49

why, I mean you've had a You're

3:51

in a committed relationship for a long

3:55

I'm thinking back to my youth. Remember

3:58

when he had it was like, you know, the whole

4:00

old party and you're just waiting for all

4:02

the sleep over. Everyone else

4:04

fell asleep, and it's like

4:06

you and a chick, we're buddied up. You

4:08

like, no, it's going down. You know, we're feeling

4:11

each other. But you have homies who are just partying

4:13

into the wee hours of the night,

4:16

and you're like, you

4:18

have nowhere else to go. You don't have your own house.

4:20

What you're gonna go back to your mom and dad's house. And

4:22

his failure the best teacher in that situation,

4:24

maybe you learn, hey, let's get this done

4:27

earlier in the day. We can get it over

4:29

with and then we can really tie one on with our friends.

4:31

There's no option. I'm working at the movie theater.

4:33

I have a day job. But do you

4:35

have a car? Absolutely not. Kyle

4:37

is driving me. Stop it. So

4:40

we mentioned on this is important,

4:42

and it is that Kyle

4:45

betrayed us, and he is

4:47

no longer a part of the podcast, and

4:49

so he's no longer part of this podcast as well.

4:51

When the guy gets busy, he gets busy across

4:53

the board. Yeah, there's there's no way he could fit

4:56

it in. There's no possible way. So I don't

4:58

know how we fit it in, but for shut on, so

5:00

you don't know. He's getting blinked by his project.

5:02

And I get it. Man, sometimes projects

5:04

blink you. I feel like I've been getting point.

5:06

I I I you know, I was up in the

5:08

four am hour this morning. I feel like I'm a little

5:11

point right now. Were you fucking No?

5:14

I was sorry, not fucking don't.

5:16

You don't even know what I'm saying. No. I didn't even have time

5:18

to blink myself. I'm alone in a hotel in

5:20

Atlanta. I was, you know, shooting a movie. So

5:22

you're blinking your hand. But here's the thing. Our

5:24

subject of the day is failure is the

5:26

best teacher. But you're kind of saying failure is not

5:29

an option? So are you? Did

5:32

you not? I didn't say

5:34

that. That's not what I said, because you guys

5:36

are taking failure as like not scoring

5:39

your partner. But I'm saying, like pleasing

5:41

man, like maybe failure isn't an option.

5:43

Hey, you know, since Kyle's off the project,

5:46

I don't want this to be we now the

5:48

new dynamic is we pick on plague.

5:51

Yeah, leave me alone, but let it rain. But

5:53

don't say stupid ship, dude. So

5:57

failure is the best teacher, right, sure,

6:00

And that's that's the phrase. I

6:02

kind of disagree with it, uh,

6:05

I mean, I mean it is

6:07

a good teacher. It's a substitute teacher.

6:09

It's a perfectly good substitute

6:12

teacher. Like you're not mad a failure

6:14

taught to you a thing, but you would prefer

6:17

to the way successful

6:19

successful. It's sort of like like

6:21

when you're a kid and you like go

6:24

to play a sport and you just absolutely

6:27

fucking suck at the sport. What

6:29

was that sport for you? For me, it was

6:31

skateboarding. I cannot skateboard to

6:33

save my life. I just can't stand sideways

6:36

on a thing. I was a fruit

6:38

booter. I I strapped into those

6:40

them rollerblades a skitchen as

6:42

bitch. No no, But

6:44

like okay, but for this saying to work,

6:47

failure is the best teacher, then you

6:49

would have fell down a couple of times on the skateboard

6:51

and then been amazing and then learned from it. But you did

6:53

see exactly that's right. That's why I say

6:56

it's not the best saying. As I'm saying

6:58

that it's it isn't the as teachers

7:00

because I failed at that, and then I

7:02

went and played baseball and I just was

7:05

good at that right away, or at least fairly

7:07

good at it, and so I was like, well, fun

7:09

this, I want to play baseball now. So did failure

7:12

teach you that you shouldn't be skateboarding?

7:14

Arguably? You could say that. Arguably

7:18

I like that. Well,

7:25

have you guys ever had like a specific

7:28

failure in the bedroom where you tried

7:30

something new and it didn't go over well

7:32

or I don't know,

7:34

I guess let me just think of something dressed up like

7:36

a furree comes to mind is something like,

7:40

no, I never dressed as a furry. I

7:42

used to try to shove bowling pins of the ass

7:46

and the pleasure dude,

7:48

I succeeded, I was, uh,

7:53

no, I didn't do. I'm gonna give you guys the hack.

7:55

The cheat code right now is Halloween

7:57

is a great time to explore with

8:00

like fun things in the bedroom. So

8:02

you could be like, I could be anybody. Yeah, you

8:04

can really step outside of who

8:06

you are in the bed and be like, now

8:09

I'm a freaking, a freaking pirate

8:11

of the bedroom are and

8:13

then maybe that's your kink And if they really

8:16

really hook them and they're like super into it.

8:18

All of a sudden, you're having pirates sex every day,

8:20

like you have a hook for a hand because you're a pirate. But

8:23

that's the thing, though, Blake. You say like love

8:25

may get that boat, and she's

8:27

like, fucking gross. Start, I don't act like a

8:29

pirate. My father was killed by pirates.

8:31

I hate pirates. Then

8:34

then that wouldn't work, that would not be the best.

8:37

So next Halloween we try something

8:39

else. So let's see failure

8:42

can happen once a year. That's when you actually

8:44

have like a green light to experiment, like

8:46

on some real weird ship, you know what I

8:48

mean. But but keep

8:51

going, well, what is the specific

8:53

thing like from your life? Specifically?

8:57

Because I told you about how I shoved bowling

9:00

pins up my asshole. Yeah,

9:02

and that's a real thing. He was honest with us.

9:04

Why aren't you want to How

9:06

did you introduce that? How did you even introduce

9:09

that? And that was like okay, so okay,

9:11

hold on a big bowler, And I was

9:13

like, we're talking about but play

9:16

right, Like maybe you want to start to introduce

9:20

extreme, Maybe you want to start to introduce

9:22

but into

9:24

the relationship. You don't come out

9:26

the gate like, hey, baby, shove this bowling

9:28

pin up my ass you want, because

9:31

you're gonna fail And that's not that's

9:33

not a good teacher. Well maybe you should dump that girl.

9:35

That's the lesson you would learn from that. Yeah.

9:37

So if your thing is

9:40

and my thing is, uh,

9:42

shoving bowling pins up your ass,

9:45

I'm just saying, let's work towards that.

9:48

Then then

9:50

and and the first time you go to try it, you're gonna

9:52

fail, And that would not be the best teacher.

9:55

It's gonna be a harsh teacher. That's for damn

9:57

sure. Hey, and what I said,

9:59

guys, hypothetically,

10:02

the pleasure our

10:17

you know, Trojan gave us so much, uh,

10:20

so many condoms and I'm just a backpack full

10:22

of condoms I got on very

10:25

cool. Uh. My

10:27

mom was visiting me for Thanksgiving

10:29

and she needed an extra bag, uh

10:32

like to go home. She like got a bunch of stuff when

10:34

she was there, and I gave her the Trojan

10:36

backpack, uh to rock going

10:39

home. Trojan man, Trojan

10:42

Mom. And to be fair, it's not like

10:44

it's not just Trojan like plastered

10:46

all over the thing. It's kind of like, oh, it's very

10:49

subtle. It's as ultra fit on

10:51

it. But like if you know, if you know your condoms,

10:54

which I know my the homians at

10:56

L A X and the Kansas City Airport, we're

10:59

like, oh, a lot of subtle

11:01

winks. The six year old woman is

11:04

is throwing out some vibes. If your mom

11:06

just started getting airport winks. Just

11:08

sky must be blanking this old man

11:11

next to her, that's

11:13

what's up. The Hudson News

11:15

registered guys like I

11:17

see you girl, I see you. Um

11:20

you guys ever buy a penhouse at the airport by

11:22

a penthouse at the airport? They didn't even sell

11:24

penthouse? Says at the airport? Do they know?

11:27

Gosh, I've been tempted, because where are you gonna look

11:29

at it? They used to, Oh they used to

11:31

remember they would have the little black bars across

11:34

it. No, they totally used to. But now

11:36

they don't. I haven't seen that in years now.

11:38

They've stopped. Rino sells them. I

11:41

guess. I guess just certain cities. If

11:43

they stopped, I don't. I don't want to be

11:45

here anymore. Man, But like, who was doing that? Back?

11:47

Yeah, who's doing that? And then I was like, what are you

11:49

looking at it at the airport, or you

11:52

pulling a blake and maybe uh creaking

11:55

one down in the seat when you're flying. I

11:57

didn't need a Penhouse. All I needed was a little

11:59

Laura cross fucking advertisement.

12:02

They probably

12:05

weren't selling them and and therefore

12:07

they stopped, uh

12:10

putting them in the in the racks. And guess

12:12

what that failure to sell Penthouse

12:14

at the airport taught them that

12:16

maybe they shouldn't be stalking them. Therefore,

12:19

failure is the best teacher. Still doesn't make sense,

12:22

Well, no, because you're right, because remember Playboy

12:24

kind of started to fail, so they took the nudity

12:27

the out of Playboy and then they

12:29

failed again. Dude, it's

12:31

like maybe maybe they didn't learn the

12:33

right Sometimes when you fail and

12:35

you get taught, you don't learn the

12:37

right lesson. Yeah, it's not encouraging,

12:40

it's discouraging. I feel like success is

12:42

the best teacher because you're like, oh, cool, this is what

12:44

I did. How did I do that? I did

12:46

this right? And it doesn't need to be a grand

12:48

slam for to speak on

12:50

what I'm the best at, which was baseball,

12:53

which I mentioned earlier. Did you ever have a grand

12:55

slam. No, I like one

12:57

home run in the fourth grade. You got a home run

12:59

though it Yeah, No, I actually hit a few

13:01

home runs in the fourth grade, fourth grade All

13:03

Star team. Then I was hit by sment truck and uh

13:06

was absolutely shitty at all sports

13:08

besides tackey sack. But I

13:11

feel like you don't have to

13:13

hit a grand slam every

13:15

time. It doesn't need to be a home run.

13:18

You just gotta get on base. About

13:20

these analogies, boys, Well, I tried to walk

13:22

it down sports and you guys said no. But

13:24

I do agree a grand slam

13:27

of but fucking it can't be a sexual grand

13:29

slam, Like, holy moly, this

13:31

is the best sex of my life. Uh,

13:34

grand slam is, but fucking for you? Is that? What?

13:37

I don't know if that would be my grand it might be. Yeah,

13:39

I think I think it. Blake just out at him

13:42

and that's fine. That's your thing. That's okay, that's

13:44

Blake's Grand Slam. Cool. I'm sure it's a lot of

13:46

people's what

13:50

the rules of the sport a little different.

13:52

You guys are playing baseball. I'm playing cricket over

13:54

here. Baby, let's go okay,

13:57

name named two things

13:59

about the name one rule of cricket.

14:01

What do they hit the what do they hit the ball with battle?

14:06

I don't know that checks

14:08

out? That checks out over here? Yeah,

14:11

must be. Failure

14:13

is not an option. But that's

14:15

not the same man. Failure

14:18

is the best teacher. But that's not true. Failure

14:21

isn't is an okay teacher. I

14:24

think what you said earlier holds that that

14:26

holds true right now. It's failure is the

14:28

substitute teacher. Failure is a substitute

14:30

teacher for success. Yes, I love

14:32

that. I actually think that's super clean, Like

14:35

how about that a little longer, a little chunky.

14:37

But failure is the substitute teacher

14:39

for success. When when

14:41

you do something, when when

14:44

you try something, Now, this is what I'm saying, you can

14:46

take the L, but don't hold on to the

14:48

L. Come back, Oh my god, come back

14:51

reinspired. There's no L

14:53

in failure. Yeah,

14:57

there is, would

15:00

work if there wasn't no,

15:03

But I sometimes losing is

15:05

what needs to happen. Sometimes you need

15:07

to be humbled, right so you can come back

15:10

or more better the next time. To say humble

15:13

again, Like I feel

15:15

like if you if you get

15:17

your ass kicks doing something or

15:19

you just getting just like I

15:21

think you're going to talk to a girl and you

15:23

go to talk to her and she's like crazy

15:26

rude to you, which has happened I feel to everybody,

15:28

or just not interested it. Yeah, no, it doesn't even have

15:30

to be ruded. Could just be like you're the fucking

15:33

girls be like you're fucking gross,

15:35

like like straight up you maybe oh

15:38

man, that's yeah. I did just ship myself,

15:40

like what come on? Man? No,

15:43

you always put together. I get it. I'm

15:45

very very particular clean cut,

15:50

uh you know, and she might like

15:53

she might hit you with like fucking

15:55

you're disgusting, your gross get out of here.

15:58

I feel like that would teach me less. I be

16:00

like, well, not guess what. I'm not gonna go talk

16:02

to pretty girls anymore because they

16:05

think that I'm a little treasure troll. Now,

16:08

if she was like, hey,

16:10

you know what, Hey,

16:12

you're pretty cute for a treasure troll, and

16:15

she gave me a little something and and

16:17

it's like you're pretty cute and then through the dig

16:19

in for a treasure troll, I'd be like, Okay,

16:22

hey, guess what, I'm pretty cute. I gotta work

16:24

on my treasure troll vibe. Okay,

16:27

yeah, like maybe giving people luck, but

16:29

a full rejection, so it's not a

16:31

full failure. That's not the best teacher.

16:34

You're saying, don't fall flat on your face. That's

16:36

a part failure. Life is a treasure

16:39

troll. There's gonna be some failures.

16:41

Yeah, life's a treasure. True,

16:45

which is a failure, Well,

16:48

that's the failure. You gotta pay a little bit

16:51

into the in the treasure troll chest

16:53

of failure jewels.

16:57

I do think there are definitely lessons

17:00

you can learn from losing. I think we

17:02

we impart this wisdom on to everybody,

17:05

Like if you fail, it's not the

17:07

end, right, it's not the end. I

17:09

don't know. My kid lost his soccer game

17:12

the other day and they were fucking done, tournament

17:14

over, And did you kick him out of the house

17:17

where you like it's over, it's done,

17:19

or what do you do? How do you pick him up? I made him

17:21

get back on that field and kick the ball. Well,

17:24

that thing is is it can be over. You

17:27

don't have to succeed in everything

17:29

you do, Blake. I know you've tried to skateboard

before. I mentioned skateboarding before. I

17:33

never see a skateboard. Now. I remember

17:35

when you used to go out with Kyle and you would

17:38

try to pedal or you know, push the

17:40

board around or whatever the funk they say the

17:42

skateboarders, and you gave up.

17:44

Sometimes the lesson that failure

17:46

is teaching you is that you shouldn't

17:49

be doing something sometimes, Right,

17:51

that's the lesson I think it ends with sometimes

17:53

I like what Adam just did. How about

17:56

failure is the best teacher Sometimes?

17:58

I think if you enter this world and you're parents

18:00

like spend their your whole childhood gassing

18:02

you up, saying you could do anything, you could be

18:04

anything, you could do whatever, and then you

18:07

actually go and apply yourself to

18:09

those things and you fucking

18:11

suck at it. Yeah, that's that's

18:14

the lesson you need to learn, is like, hey man,

18:16

I'm not going to be a mathematician. That's just not

18:18

happening. But can't you get better at something?

18:21

Like? I remember when I met

18:23

you, I was like, who is this guy?

18:26

And you've become like a better guy you

18:28

think, I mean, I work on it every

18:30

day, Doc, you're a better person now,

18:33

thank you, man. And I put in the hours,

18:36

but that's because I failed a lot. Yeah,

18:39

how about uh. Failure

18:42

is not a teacher. It's an option.

18:45

Sometimes. No, I don't like that. No,

18:48

that one sucked. I like failure is

18:50

the best substitute teacher, because

18:52

the real teacher is the winning and you want to

18:54

get back to that. You want to get those dubs like

18:57

that's tight? Did did anyone write that down?
