Host Cody Ko and standup comedian Tim Dillon dissect the phrase “nice guys finish last.”

Tim Dillon: Why “Nice Guys Finish Last” Isn’t Right

We've all been led astray by bad advice: whether from a misguided parent, an ignorant mentor, or common misconceptions gossiped in high school hallways. Thankfully, The Pleasure Is Ours, the comedic podcast from Trojan and iHeartMedia, is back with SEASON 2 to continue blowing up the worst life tips! This season is hosted by none other than the guys from Comedy Central's Workaholics, and the hosts of iHeartRadio's This Is Important: Adam Devine, Anders Holm, Blake Anderson, and Kyle Newacheck. In each episode of TPIO, the guys pick apart the dumbest notions that young men and women are exposed to as they come of age, with topics ranging from work to sex, entertainment, and social media. And whether or not you find their countering advice of any actual help, at least their ridiculous analysis is funny as hell.

If William Shatner -- cast as Star Trek's Captain Kirk at age 35 -- blasting off into orbit at 90 years old as the oldest man in space isn't proof that "slow and steady wins the race"... then what is?!  When it comes to physical fitness, self-described "jackhammer" Adam says that vigorous lifting is the best way to get in shape, while Blake argues that leisurely "marathon-ish" runs are more effective. But jackhammering your way into a potential partner's love life? That's a surefire way to destroy a relationship. Slow and steady? Fast and chaotic? How much red meat does William Shatner eat?? All questions are answered in this season's final episode of The Pleasure Is Ours.

Does "Slow and Steady Win the Race?"

Is failure the best teacher -- or is it just a substitute mentor for success? After all, sucking at skateboarding never got Adam anywhere with the hobby, and being a naturally gifted baseball player is exactly what got him on the team. That is, until he got hit by that cement truck...  
 But perhaps different rules apply in the bedroom.  Blake thought that Halloween would be the perfect catalyst for making pirate-role-play a part of his everyday sex life, and Adam "hypothetically" reminisces about that one time he tried his luck with a bowling pin. And while both endeavors failed, there were valuable lessons to be learned, indeed. 
 In this episode, the fellas discuss the age old adage, "Failure is the best teacher" -- and try to improve upon it in the process.    Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is "Failure the Best Teacher?"

The Pleasure Is Ours is taking a brief break for the rest of December! But before the boys come back to amend more bad advice in January, they have some words of holiday wisdom to impart...

A Holiday Hiatus!

Do "Good Things Come in Small Packages" -- or is that just some shit we say to justify a movie like Rudy? Sure, he inspired an entire graduating class to chant his name and convince Coach Devine to let him on the football field -- but Notre Dame didn't actually need that sack, did they? Similarly, that bow-wrapped envelope under the Christmas tree could contain a crisp hundo if you grew up driving a Corvette to high school -- but if you grew up poor like Blake did, it's probably just gum. This week on The Pleasure Is Ours, the guys get academic with a thought-provoking discussion on classical renaissance sculpture. And by that, we mean they talk about how small David's dick is. Like, did Michaelangelo not give him enough time to chub up before sculpting began -- or had David just come in from a freezing bout of ancient Greek CrossFit?? Either way, self-identifying "small packaged" Adam Devine says, "go off, king."

Do "Good Things Come in Small Packages?"

While some might ponder the versatility of the phrase, "don't bite off more than you can chew," the guys on this podcast get literal...quick. So in this week's food-themed-episode of The Pleasure Is Ours, Kyle ponders whether caramel might be the stickiest thing a person could put in one's mouth while Blake reminisces a childhood affinity for shoving mozzarella sticks down his throat. And although Adam insists he's been able to "chew everything he's bitten," the fellas remind him of the time in his life when hosting the MTV movie awards and filming Game Over, Man turned a private jet afterparty into Snoozeville '98.
