What up, dude? How you living? Dude, I'm good, brother. Yeah, yeah. Hey, the sun is shining. The air is crisp. California dreaming. Dude, April is here. Spring is in full force. You just had a big trip. You had a big trip as well.

I just got back from Coachella. Which, where did you? So, take. I stayed, okay, so, yeah, stay. So we got our tickets late. Because it wasn't definite. No, no, no. You were on the fence, even with the ticks.

Motel 6 was $1,000 a night. Kennedy refuses What a deal My fiance You know She's like I'm not singing in motel sick She's a high class lady She's a high class lady

And she's not like She's not like pretentious She just knows hotels She knows her worth Her dad works in hotels She's like there's jizz everywhere That direct quote She's like there's literally jizz everywhere

And I was like Which is part of the reason We like staying there so much Yeah But you know I don't yuck anybody else's young Yeah I was like That's like You're describing our house

That's funny there's semen everywhere i yeah yeah yeah there's jizz everywhere and um did you tell her that i come everywhere yeah i was like baby look what you're sitting in everything you touch i've splattered yeah yeah yeah yeah look at your oatmeal um um guys check out stacru's medicinals he'll tell you about that yeah yeah yeah and then uh so we were like man i was like i was like i was like i don't i don't think we're going to find a place i wouldn't i don't think i would have paid for motel 6 but we were i was like i was like doubtful I was like, I don't think it's going to happen.

And then she's like, why don't we ask your sister-in-laws, aunt and uncle? They have a place in Laquinta. Bro, good intel, dude. Yeah, yeah. Straight massade. And they have a nice place. They have a Casita. And they were down.

So we got free lodging. And it was just you two there? Yeah. I mean, they were there. We hung out with them. Right. They got dinner with them. There's the sweetest people on earth.

What a deal, dude. Yeah. And they're in La Quinta, which is. like right next to Coachella. So yeah, we got to stay there, beautiful spot. And, but dude, I mean, getting in and out, it was, it's 10 minutes from Coachella, their place. Took an hour and a half each time to, like, drive in.

That much traffic. And then getting an Uber out took like, you get, oh, wait, the first night we Uber because we wanted to party a little bit. dude getting out of Coachella everyone's walking it's 100,000 people you're like how am I gonna get an Uber you ask you know this guys there lined up you know they're like pitching you're like hey you want you want a car

and how much like 300 you're like going like two miles so eventually we found someone who did it for a hundred that feels right she was sweet she works security at the event she wanted to make a little extra scratch but it's all just you got to plan it out We didn't plan that part out. How do you plan that out?

I think some people hire a private driver or you get like a place where you can walk. Right. Or you make a deal with like an Uber driver beforehand. You make a deal. Yeah. You can hear it. I think the best thing though is if you can walk to the festival, that's. That seems ideal.

Ideal. And you like to take walks. I like walks. Yeah. You take a walk. And he also, I mean, we walked like probably two miles out of the festival to find Uber. So you kind of walk off all. the booze and shit.

But yeah, it was fun. Well, take us inside the fest. Which sets did you like? Okay, so first night, saw some Sabrina. She was cool, you know, like, she had a very sophisticated set and like a story.

But it was kind of like, it wasn't pulling me in. It didn't make me want to dance. She played espresso. I danced to that. But it wasn't like, It was more kind of like a show for YouTube it felt like. Interesting.

Yeah, because you know what? The clips did play well. The choreo with the dude where they were like crawling to each other. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, this is good. But I could see if you're in a crowd of 100,000 people. Yeah. The best performances at Coachella, I feel like the energy goes out.

And it felt like she was trying to pull the energy in. Yeah. And you know what? Like during her set, I was kind of like, I feel kind of bad for her. No one's like, I mean, I'm sure the crowd was like into it. But to me, I'm like, people aren't into it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what I thought. And they were more into it for other sets, too.

That wasn't an across-the-board Coachella vibe. It's a good question. I mean, I think, yeah, I mean, Bieber, they were, like, it was so packed. It's probably, what, like, 250,000 people or something? Something crazy, yeah. Is Saturday night bigger than Sunday night? Dude, that's, I mean, it seemed like it. that's why they put Bieber there, right?

I think they did, yeah, I think Saturday night is the big night because Sunday night, people are just worn out. And people start to leave. Yeah, people leave. Saw Carol G, though. Do you know who Carol G is? She's Colombian.

Yeah, dude, okay, so we got like up front for her massive babe. Massive, massive babe. She's like... She's from Medellin where my mom is from. Yeah, she has Shakira vibes. She crushed it very, like, you know, it was like regatone.

That's my piece. people right there. Regitone. It was all Spanish. I saw Camilla Cabello in the crowd. I was watching her. I was like, I think she's jealous.

You used to like her too. Yeah, I used to like when we started the pod. Yeah, that was your first babe, I think. I was like, was it? Yeah, Camia.

But I was watching her, I was like, she's so jealous right now. Yeah. And you got to respect it. You know, she wants that top spot. Carol G's taking it from her. And so. Ball's in your court.

Camilla. Let's see what you. you come back with. Yeah, do Carol G. I mean, Carol G. heard the dancing, all that stuff. She was, I mean, they had a lot of movements where they were just showing ass. And I was like, this is what you're supposed to do. You shake that butt.

And how did Bieber's YouTube and go live? It's good. We left kind of early because we didn't want to get like stuck. But when he first started, like his voice is so incredible. where he just like, man, that it, his voice is unreal. The tone is ridiculous. And he looks so happy. It's so soothing.

Like it gets into your ear and it just fits. Yeah, yeah. You're like, man, this is amazing. And like, I, swag and swag too are a little slow for me. It's not really my style. I like his pop. But, I mean, you listen to it. You're like, he's incredible.

Like, as soon he starts singing, I just had a big smile on my face. When he did stay with Kid Leroy, I was so, I was, I was like, let's fucking go man dude i love the way he talks too he's like he's like he's like ha sounds like sounds like y'all need some energy let's run it he's like oh whiz kid where are you at broskey where you at and then did you feel like it was healing for him yeah yeah totally yeah yeah felt like he was happy it felt like this is like it was like an expression of like what he wants to do like his artistry like he's free from i talked to so like we know a guy at golden boys says how he got tickets.

And so we talked to him about it. And he's like, yeah, you just go through the Bieber family. You don't go through agents or anything. He's like totally independent, which is interesting. It's nice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because he felt taking advantage of by Scooter Braun and the, there's even more sorted stories behind that, like the industry at large.

Yeah. So, and yesterday we were just chilling. We watched Never Say Never and Believe. and oh the documentaries the documentaries yeah yeah he's just a kid

it's crazy I know who else what we see but my favorite is the Yuma tent that's just deep house I could just I like fist pump

I like the Doolab sauce and UMatent's not big like the other ones right it's like Doolab's a smaller one Dulebs that's what I'm confused

but umatine's not huge it's a big tent but it's not like it's not like Sahara or anything like that. Sahara is massive. But it's more, it's just a vibe in there. It's hardwood floor and you're just,

this pump. Yeah, is that about it? How was like, what about like the food and like the amenities? Dude, I mean, is it like $30 or a slice of pizza? Yeah, it's insane. Yeah, we got, I got a vodka rep bowl double and she got a vodka sprite, $80. Um

Yep Slice of Pizza $30 Um Assaie bowl $50 Did you see any funny things Or I saw Northwest Oh really?

Yeah Yeah How old are they like 12? 13? That's what I thought She was just standing there And she was just had a grill on She was just

Just dancing No just like Just in the She was just standing there Just hanging wanting to get noticed. Yeah, she's 12. She's 12?

Oh, and she's been in the Paw Patrol movie. So my kids are probably fans. She's 12 years old and she was there. Yeah, look at her. I saw her perform at the Kanye concert. Oh, you went to the Kanye concert too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was incredible. Best concert of my life.

It did look pretty amazing. It was hilarious when she came out. She just started rapping and it was like, all right. Was she good? Nah, I wouldn't say good. Did she have potential? You can't even really tell because it's like four words in the song. It's like, Miss, Miss Westy, she's my bestie or something like.

That's like the whole song. I saw Lauren Hill came out. Oh, yeah, that was incredible. That was cool. But it was just three hours, 50 songs, 45 of them were probably hits. And like five of them were probably new stuff from bully. And that's what he needed to do. Like everyone was there for the hits.

And it was fucking incredible. Seeing her was like in her crew, I was like, Jesus Christ. Yeah, the people watching there is like Candide and I were just walking through I was like, you know, some festival people are like really cool and just sweet, but a lot of people there, you're like, these are the worst people on earth. How so? Like arms dealers?

Yeah, like, exactly. Like they're dealing arms. Oh, dude. Scumbags. Isn't that crazy? It's just crazy. We all like music, you know? You think someone like that would be, I don't know, immune to those more sensitive pleasures.

I know. Even dictators want to move their hips. Yeah. Yeah, literally I was like, oh my God, there's dictators, there's arms dealers, all kinds of just unsavory people. And then there's the classic college festy bro. I was curious about that. What were the age demos? I think 20s, 20s, 20s with fake tits.

So straight up, this isn't going to hurt my feelings. And it's, I'm all right with any answer. Am I too old for Coachella? No. You know what I think? I think the older, like it's a lot of people. When's the last time you went, like 2017? I'd say even earlier than that.

maybe like 2016 2015 super close actually you kind of drilled it i think um i think it's four older people whoa you know what i mean oh you know what's last time i went was driving uber when i crashed my car oh that's right yeah yeah so how old was i then 29 i think that was like 2017 yeah yeah yeah dude this is a hot take cochella's four older people oh because they enjoy it the younger people, the influencer people, they're just trying to get noticed. They're trying to look cool. They're trying to catch some attention,

maybe some likes. They're trying to like vibe on other people thinking they're cool. But the older people, they're just there for the music. It's a super good point. Yeah. Because I went to Weenie Roast when I was like 18 with my boys, but I wasn't there for the music.

I was there. I was like, dude, we're going to have a crazy time. Yeah. But then when I turned about 29, I went and saw Tom Petty and I remember I could actually hear it. Yeah. Like I felt I was like with the musician. Right. I don't know what you have to go through first to have that happen.

I think there's like a time. You have to go through something. Through maturity or something like that where I think when you're younger, you go with your dong. Yes. And your dong is never. Dude, I was, yes. You go with your dong, women, they go with their tits.

You're led by these things. Like, you're led by melons or a shaft. So you're not, you can't, you know, you can experience pleasure in the dong and I think nipples. But you can't experience the soul, you know? Yeah. because there's almost like a wall at the behind the tits

exactly of uh silicone and then with the with the dong it's uh it's like um just a wall of jiz yeah you almost got to like have a health scare before you can really hear music dude good call

like you had your testicular torche tors yeah that's when I really understood I got herpes yeah I was like all right Yeah, when you got herpes, you started listening to, like, Erica Badu, right? Oh, yeah. I like Erica Badu. Dude, Camrod had a great line of it.

Ericabado, he's like, man, I don't know what it is about that girl, but if you start dating her, you start wearing shoulder pads. He's like, I was friends with Andre 3000 before. He's dressed like a normal dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like... Are they together? They were. They have a kid or two together.

Really? I know that. It's kind of magical thinking about those two in the same room. Yeah. I like couples like that. Like... Where you can be like, are they just like on vibes? Do they even speak?

Are they just like flowy? Yeah. That's sick. Yeah, artistry. I don't think, I don't know. You have to be a certain level of maturity to appreciate artistry. Do you think you'll go back? Yeah, I think so.

If I can figure out the right. A combination. I'm glad that all fell into place, like beautiful. That was nice, yeah. Sounds nice. I think it's just the, you know, there's a glamping option. It's so, it's like $10,000. But I think if I ever had the means to do that, I would totally do that.

That's what like the crate, don't, don't some of them get like little. It's like you have like a tent. Yeah. But it has like AC and stuff. And not like a like or like a, yeah, like a nice, nice tent. Oh, that'd be amazing. Yeah, look at that. Can you imagine?

Yeah, because then you feel like you're still in the vibe. Yeah, like, oh, I'm going to go to breakfast at the do. Lab. Did you get lit? Friday night a little bit. But dude, you know what? I had more fun they're sober. I drove Sunday night. I had more fun sober. I was like got these mushrooms and I took some but I was like I wasn't sure if they were working so I was like more concerned with like feeling the mushrooms. That's a frustrating place to be. It's not annoying. Yeah because then you start chasing it too and you're like hey do you have anything do you have anything? Yeah you kind of miss out on what's happening. Yeah and I had a bunch of vodka Red Bulls and we

have fun but they're there you know Saturday I was pretty sober Sunday I was pretty sober and I was like this is more fun guys I have some shows coming up super excited about it my stoke ted talk is coming back to Los Angeles jamming the van this Saturday April 18th at 8 p.m I want to see you there if you're in the SoCal area then we will be in San Antonio next weekend I'm talking April 24th to April 26th me and JT busting out some sets.

I'll rip your fucking guts out. They're literally talking like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was at the bar. We went to this place like Flo's Clams, Clamhouse. And I go to the bar and I sit between a bunch of people and I'm like, what's the best seafood to get here? Everything's good. Yeah.

And they're like, where are you from? I'm like, California. They're like, fuck his seafood sucks. Really? Everything's better here. Yeah, yeah. And I'm like, all right. Well, then what would you pick?

They're like, flip a coin. It's better. And I'm like, well, if you flipped a coin, what would you pick? He's like, depends on what you want. Yeah. I'm like, I want whatever's the best. He's like, all right, you want what's the best? You know, you get the caught or you get this and that.

And then he's just kind of barking at me. And then he goes, all right, I'll get six shrimp cocktails and I'll get the sword fish. And the guy's the next day at the bar goes, you did good. Really? That's hilarious. It's super pretty out there. Although I will say this. Like, Newport is just gorgeous.

We went to like a wedding out there. super fun like on this beautiful estate they got these like old mansions out there they probably had like hundreds of servants these people um the dude getting married works for the DOJ and they had like security at the wedding oh wow oh I forgot you were going to a wedding yeah and then um the but dude the band they got was killer really yeah and then the so I don't it was my wife used to babysit for the girl who was getting married yeah so I didn't know anyone and she just knew the family.

And they sat me next to the bride's grandma. She's a hilarious lady. She's 85. And she's telling me about her mom and how her mom never really liked her husband, who she's still with, and how they had to kind of like escape from Chicago. And she was talking about her friend who like the mom came up

and was yelling at her and they got all of her stuff out. And she's like, and that friend died. She started crying. Yeah. And I was like, whoa. And but I was there for her. Like I wanted to hear it. And it seemed like it was good for her to get off her chest.

But then her husband was like, yeah, you got her crying. And I was like, I'm sorry. And then the family came over and they're like, why is my grandma crying? Really? I was like, we were just talking. I think she had to get this off her chest. And then I kind of like pulled this into different territory. But yeah, we went deep fast.

Did you get Buck Wild at the wedding? So I brought the grandma out on the dance floor and that's how he pulled out of it. And then we were just fucking crushing me. Oh, nice. Yeah, I was dancing. like a maniac. I love dancing so much. And me and the lead singer of the band was killer. And he was coming up and we were just like hitting the moves and I was sweating. I was like, this is great. And some, a dude came up to me at the wedding and was like, bro, you got the best moves at

the wedding. I was like, well, this fucking, bro, that fires me so much. And then he's like, I'm too old to do it. This is true. I go, bro, I did 20 minutes of stretching and theraband work before I came at the wedding. I was hitting my shit. I was ready to go. Yeah. But dude, a negative have you been to a planet fitness? Yeah. It's straight fascist. How you mean? All right.

I put my kids to sleep at eight. I hustle butt over there because they're closing at 10. I'm like, all right, that'll give me enough time. It's a 20 minute drive. So I get there at like 8.30. I get to Planet Fitness at 8.30. They close at 10. I'm going to do a good leg workout.

I walk in, I'm wearing this. And I walk in. the lady goes you can't wear jeans in here. I'm like, why? She's like, we have a rule no jeans. She points down, there's a little thing. It says, we're trying to keep up decorum. No, no sandals, no jeans.

I'm like, come on. She's like, you can come back tomorrow. I'm like, I don't have time tomorrow. So I hustle back, 20 minutes there, 20 minutes back. I get back, it's like 9.15. I'm like, I can still do my leg workout. Yeah. I walk in, I get my day pass.

The lady was like, you can't wear jeans in here. I'm like, all right, fine. I'm wearing the sweater. I start doing hack squats. I take the sweater off. I put it on the ground. The lady comes over and she's like, you can't put your sweater on the ground.

You have to tie it around your waist. Wow. I was like, how many rules do you have? Then she's like, if you don't like it, you can leave. And I go, no,

I'll finish my workout. Put my headphones in. Got back to work. This dude walks by, his sweater's on the ground. I look at the lady. I'm like, you're going to say something to him?

I kind of narked on the dude. But I was, did she? She goes, I said something to him. And then I saw another guy later put his sweater down. And she did say something to him too. So she was fair about it. But then I was hitting. I was hitting, what was I hitting?

Leg curls. And one of the dudes who got sweatered on came up. And he's like, they've never, in three years I've been coming here, they've never mentioned it today. So I don't know what was going on. But I did notice, I don't think it's the lady's fault. I think this is planet fitness. Look at this fucking sign they have up in Planet Fitness. Yeah, look at these club policies.

No dropping weights, no grunting, no deadlifts, no powerlifting, no string tank tops, no workboats, no gym bags on the floor, no gallon jugs in the gym. Dude, they're like trying to get rid of gym bros. They're literally prejudice against gym bros who are the most dedicated gym people in the world. And then look at this one I was at it said lunk alarm I'll send this to you Jake Lunk slang one who grunts drops weights or judges Ricky is slamming his weights wearing a bodybuilding tank top and drinking out of a water gallon jug what a lunk what is happening this is a gym this is like supposed to be a safe space for guys like that they can't have the gym I don't mean to come at this with so

much anger but no this is a this is insanity and this is what creates a backlash Like you start trashing Buff dudes who are a little vain about their muscles And this is what makes them go Manosphere, you know, over the top with shit It's like, dude, let them have the fucking gym It's insane I never been to it like and I like

Okay, sometimes it's annoying when people are doing that But I like when you see a fucking super jack dude Sling weights and slam them and be alpha Did gold's gym inspires you It fires you up you get a little you get intimidated, but then you go, okay, I got to step up a little bit. I might not be that guy, but I'll hit a couple extra pull-ups right now. And maybe I will be that guy.

And then, yeah, sorry, this is, it's not the lady's fault. This is planet fitness's fault. It's a fucking joke, dude. Like, you're a gym, bro. You're a gym. Wait, so they literally have the lunk alarm. They're calling, they're literally calling out gym bros. Yeah, it says they, they have a, it's,

the biggest thing in there. And then they have like a bunch of like, like fascist, positive activity stuff where it's like, be nice, be supportive, blah, blah, blah. I'm like, who's, I've, people at the gym are nice. Gymbros are nice.

You ever has to buff guy for a spot? He'll always give you one. And he'll always help you get a couple extra reps. So why are we turning them into the problem when they're not the problem? What's their ML right now? If you guys are listening to this podcast, has to relax. I know I'm getting political again. I'm sorry. No, no, no, this is this is warranted. This is what America has come to. See that that's where the brain goes. Yeah. Because then you go,

okay, like there is a war on men. Yeah. And it's happening in planet fitness. Well, guess what? Men are part of the planet. And they're a huge part of fitness. Who's to blame for this? And women, and you know, I shouldn't just say it's women either. I mean, because this stuff says guys, but women want to do this shit too. I love when I see a fucking jack chick throwing down deadlifts and hitting power cleans and being a beast. I mean, that's half of Instagram. It's awesome.

Dude, I was at Gold's Gym. This jack girl was doing deadlift. She farted. Everyone got stoked. That's what's up, dude. It made me lift more. That's what's up. Should we go on a crusade to bankrupt plant fitness? You guys how you got to fight now. What else is going on in the world?

But yeah, it was a great time. Good hanging out with my Dude, my kids, they just grow leaps and bounds. Anytime we take them on a trip, their brains just accelerate and they just grow so much. Two aquariums, Norwalk and fucking, what's the one in fucking Warwick? I think that's where it is.

Nothing better than a nice aquarium. Do they have like tunnels of sharks in them? Yeah, not that sick. They got a shark tank, but I know what you mean when you walk in and they're like all 360 on you. What's your favorite thing?

What's their favorite thing of the aquarium? am. Okay, at the Norwalk one, it's the sting race for and then says flamingos even though they don't have them there. Oh, bleep my kids' names.

Maybe I should just start saying that. I don't know what to do, but bleep them on this one. And then at Warwick, their favorites were she liked the sharks and he liked, I think he, oh, the octopus. He goes, octopuses. Those are cool.

Yeah, but my favorite's the jellies. They got great jellyfish at the Norwalks one. Yeah. They're so cool looking. And they got like five different kinds. It's really awesome. They're aliens.

That's what I always say. Yeah. They're so weird. They're so weird. There's something where they don't have like a heart or a brain or something. They don't look like they have anything. Yeah. They're just propoling.

Yeah. They're just moving. Very interesting. Yeah. Is there, Jay, can you look up a bit? Is there like, there's something that I know they're not immortal. but there's something about jellyfish. That's what I thought.

But then on the wall there it said they only live a couple months, but I thought they live for like ever. They lived for a few months to two years. But I heard that too. Where do you even hear that? Someone's been lying to us about jellyfish. The immortal species, okay. Can technically,

the moral species, Tirotops says Doreeni, sounds like an Italian dish, can regenerate its cells to reverse its life, from adult Medusa back to infant when facing danger or starvation. Oh, so they do just like a 72 hour water fast. You are a jellyfish, dude. Dude, that's what you got it?

The jellyfish diet, bro. Cream jeans asked, would it be good to fuck it? Would it feel good to fuck a jellyfish if it didn't sting you? Yeah, I would. That would. Even if it did sting you, honestly, depending on how you party. Yeah. I like Euphoria.

I'm into stuff like that. Dude, yeah, we watched Euphoria yesterday. There was a lot. Yeah. I not quite buying my hot take I hate that show yeah I think it's I season for sure I was like I hate it everything like that's just like this stuff I do not like yeah just because it's dark and ugly just dark yeah I'm like dude can we watch like happy Gilmore we just watch no Justin Bieber's documentaries do oh one one entertainment thing too my beautiful wife she got his tickets to see dog day afternoon

John Bernthal. Oh, really? You saw that? Wow. How was that? It was okay. The play's not great. The movie's a lot better. It has a couple good scenes, but I don't think the teleplay is great. Or the, I don't think the script is great. The dude from the bear, his part's kind of a nothing burger. Bernthal's good, though, and has a ton of charisma. He crushed it. What was he like in person? He's very charismatic. He's exactly like he is in movies. Yeah. He's very good. Did he make you one on Nap less? Yeah, I do.

You know, he does give you a little fucking shot of energy. We're like, come on, be a dude. Yeah, yeah. You know, okay, I'll spoil this. So, because the movie's been out for so long, the character's gay. Yeah. Like, he's, he's robbing the bank for his boyfriend to get a trans operation.

John Bernthal plays the, when you find out he's gay, like, you find out in the play, like, halfway through, he plays the character. just exactly like John Bernthal. So I think his idea was like, well, look, there's nothing different about being gay. So when I play gay,

I just play it like myself. But the thing is, John Bernthal doesn't feel gay at all. Yeah. So he's like, I'm gay. And the whole time you're like, no, you're not. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like, I think Pacino in the movie didn't play him with like a gay affect or anything. Yeah. But there was like a dimension of like, he was able to be. able to imbue this kind of sexual ambiguity into the character that I did not get from Bernthal. So I kind of understood the choice from Bernthal to not intimate any gayness. Yeah. Because that's like kind of the more progressive thing to do. But it, it made it harder

to suspend disbelief. And I'm an ally. You should message him and be like, be gayer. Do something. He needed to do something. It would. It would be funny if he, like, just put in one thing where he, like, his risk go like that. I swear if he just would have done one moment where he was like, girl, you got it. Like, or I didn't even know what, I'm not a good enough actor to know what the move would have been. But he did kind of play the character, like, just straight John Bernthal. Interesting. Yeah, maybe you go girl or bitch please or yes queen, yes queen, just a little bit.

But the play itself, like, just compared to the movie, the play itself isn't as good. No, it's not as good. The script's not as good. The story turns aren't as good. He's pretty close, but it's just not as good. And then after the play, they all came up and they did. It's still amazing. I love live theater.

I'm a huge fan of plays. I fucking dig it. Even when they're about class consciousness and you're like, it's a fucking Broadway play. Everyone hears of means. It's like the worst place to deliver this message. But they made him and the cast came out. And they were trying to help out a foundation that was doing like, you know, like something for LGBTQ betterness. And they were like, we're going to be selling John's shirt.

And they live auctioned his clothes. Interesting. And so he had to kind of be like, yeah, you get my shirt. And I was like, it felt kind of tacky. Yeah, yeah. And I was like, why are they making them do this? They sell it every time? I don't know if they do it every time.

They did it at the one I was in. Yeah, you get my shirt. Yeah, and then he felt kind of bad for Bernthal, where you're like, you're a pretty big actor. Yeah. Like an A-minus lister, and they're making you kind of do like a magic mic shit. What, uh, how long are they running the play for? I don't know.

Probably a couple more months. I think it goes in seasons. How much does, like, an actor like him make from doing a cedar run like that? I think, like, seven figures. Really? I think so. Wow. You would love that because it's every day.

Yeah, I mean, it sounds awesome. Just going to perform. Yeah, so it's going until June 28th. Started on March 10th. Wow. The dude from the bear, Ebon Moss, and from girls, doesn't have any, like, dialogue, really. Really? Yeah, so he's kind of just like doing this.

And I'm like, why'd you sign up for this dog? They must have paid you. I think they paid him a lot of money to, like, not do much. Yeah.

All right, dude, what about where are you out on this beef between Alex Earl and Alex Cooper? dude so i watched portnoy talk about it yesterday um this is some juicy juicy goss i think you know okay here's here's what i think here's what i think happened and then portnoy noy pretty much said as much Alex are all signed on with unwell Alex cooper's podcast network

but she was already a huge star so i think something happened financially or maybe like Alex Cooper was kind of like being like, look, you signed on to here so you're like a little bit lesser than me kind of vibe. I think it's a power struggle to Alex is going at it. And, you know, it just did not end well. So I think maybe Alex Cooper is maybe subconsciously trying to like, you know. Big doggar. Big doggar a little bit. And correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe that Alex Cooper is a Gemini.

And I do think that Alex Earle is a Sagittarius. They always clash. Tough alignment. They should have like done, they should have like consulted their astrological teachers before signing on to a deal like that. Because you have to make sure your charts are aligned or else you're going to clash. We see it all the time, even on the grander stages. Yeah.

You know, Comanian. Trump. The horoscopes would have told you it was going to head to that end. Yeah, 100%. I was telling people. Yeah, I think Trump is a Pisces and Comani was a Leo. Dude, you get a fire and water sign. I mean... That was Sean Penn and Madonna. Yeah. Yeah, Sean Penn. Scorpio, Madonna, Scorpio.

Two Scorpios can't be together. So problematic. You know, they're definitely going to have like crazy hot. sex um that's i mean comani and trump yeah so if alex roll were in aries they probably would have crushed it together but yeah you know i think it's just an ego clash i think it's you know they two big dogs are going at it what do you think what's your take i just think they look so alike they're like dude there can only be one it's highlander and people confuse them all the time they're probably in public getting mistaken from one another it's going to build

resentment and this happens in a lot of groups you know 100% it can feel zero some even if you're both just beautiful baddies with a ton of talent and options for days it's tragic it's really tragic so but okay so Alex Cooper called out Alex Earl she was like say what's up and Alex Roe's like hi girl yeah and Alex girl's like okay on it I saw the comment Cooper really was trying to bring like the on the top of the food chain energy like she was like trying to become like it's just about time I called this out enough with the passive aggressive say what you got to say girl gauntlet throat yeah dude what if it's something crazy it's like you murdered someone what if Alex Cooper's the next daddy

Yeah, or like, that's always like, when you read about Sam Haltman, you're like, this shit gets pretty gnarly, huh? What do you mean? Like, Tucker Carlson accused Sam Altman, killing one of his old engineers. Oh, that's right. And then Ronan Farrow just came out with a big piece, which I've only read the snippets of, but like 100 ex-co workers were like, he's a sociopath. He's a pathological liar. Wow. And so it's a good thing we have him in charge of AI.

Yeah. Damn. Yeah. What was I going to say? I think there was been two people have now tried to like break into his house after these articles. Oh, really? So he posted a photo of his husband and his kid being like, hey, even if you hate me. Like if you fire, I think someone tossed him all off cocktail.

Really? This is who you'll be hurting. Wow. There's a lot of that. There's a lot of populist violence going on. It's a scary time. I'm kind of a pussy. Did you see Candice Owens respond to Trump?

Yes, I listened to it. The open letter. The open letter, yeah. And then I saw the Pope and Trump are going at it. That really caught everybody. What is going on? I mean, you know, Tony Robbins says everything moves in seasons. We're in winter right now.

Spring is coming. And I like to be optimistic, but. this is a wild wild time that's what's funny too I was talking about this like Trump is like Vince McMahon and he's such like a villain

like someone I don't even like like Gavin News some anthropic AI will kind of like take it to him a bit and I'm like yeah fucking get them dude yeah yeah yeah and they're like they're like stone cold I'm like they're not necessarily good but someone's finally punching this guy

yeah but then you're like dude this is all cave fabe like it's theater they're all operators in the same system. Yeah. And I'm getting emotionally rollicked by it. I know. What do we do?

I mean, I still root for guys to win, but I can't hitch my entire being to it. No, yeah. I like wrestling, but, you know, I got to be able to be okay if my guy doesn't win the match. Was that deep? Yeah. We need the bebs. Yeah, no one was cooler than Stone Cold Steve Austin. I watch his stuff all the time.

Get your candy ass. Can you just pull up Stone Cold walking out? Can you imagine being that big? He's a tank. Dude, how would that change you? I think about that sometimes. Being that big. Just that.

Oh, man. I think I would have been a bigger butt. I think it chills out some dudes, you know? Like when some dudes are yoked, they're like, look, I got no problems. And no one's trying to start shit with me. Yeah. I think I would have been like, I'm fighting everybody. Yeah.

I'm fighting everybody. Dude, so this has happened at Coachella. There's a radio head, like, bunker, which is cool. There's, like, radio head. They created, like, it was, like, a 20-foot bunker they created in here the Sahara tent. It's, like, this big mound of grass and you go in, and it's, like, a radio-head, like, short film. Oh, that's cool. It's very cool.

But as we were leaving, this dude comes up to me who's like he's gay and he goes in front of Kennedy he goes I just want to say you have the most beautiful smile and she was really

ticked off by that really? She's like is it not obvious that we're together she's not I get it now that makes a little sense she doesn't like dudes saying

what up. Right, which you would think would be more all right because they're not a legit threat. Whereas if it's a chick, you're like, oh, well, there's like that part of the brain that's like this could actually happen. But if it's a dude, you're not gay, so it's just a compliment.

Yeah. But she was so offended, she thought it was very rude of him to like, I mean, she's the sweetest girl ever. So she wasn't like, but she's like, it's not like she said anything. but and and

but she was just like kind of like offended that he would like openly say something like that in front of her she's just territorial bro

and she likes that you're a prized asset so she's just trying to protect it that's sweet I think that's honestly hotter than if she was like yeah go for it it's kind of nice she's like this is my man

it's my man it's my man. Dude, cream jeans said, bro, I was at a concert clapping along during a song and a guy turned around and grab my hands and force them closed. What should I have done? That is fucked up, cream jeans.

Me and my boy A-bomb were going nuts at Florence in the machine Coachella 2013. And these two chicks behind me go, hey, can you guys stop making fun of it? We're trying to have fun. And I go, we're not making fun of it.

And then we both got really sad. And the girls waited a couple of songs. And then they went, guys, start dancing again. We're sorry. We didn't know you were being serious. We were like, whatever. Whatever. You got what you wanted.

Ruin our good time. I'm not, we can't like, it's a plan of fitness shit, dude. Dude. Yeah. Making me feel like a motherfucking victim, but I ain't no victim. A fucking rock out to that shit

have seen Florence since then. Fucking got after it, dude. She awesome. This is my life. You're not going to put fucking governor on me. I'm going to bring it. She's incredible. She's an angel.

Truly an angel. Isn't that the best when the artist feels like they're not from this realm? Yeah. That's Michael Jackson, right? Yeah, yeah. Do Carol G. Yeah, you're like, this person, like, hatched out of the cosmos and, like, fell here. Yeah.

And now we get to see this shit. Yeah, Carol G brought the energy. The Bebes. I heard Somber had a good shit set. That's what I heard. I didn't see him. People were like, he was making an audition. for the main stage.

Yeah. A teradactal. Stratter's brother was there. We were trying to meet up. Oh, he's the greatest, Matt. Oh, that's somber? Mm-hmm. Oh, I know that.

Okay. I was trying to figure out who somber is. He got good songs. Did you follow this Eric Swalwell thing? Yeah, I was going to bring it up. Dude, it's getting gnarlier and gnarlier. What, it came out since? I haven't paid super close attention to.

Oh, dude. The stuff that came out today was that he, like, drugged in and and uh oh god can i say it on the pot i'm raped a girl jesus christ which is like i mean where there's smoke there's fire which i did not see this coming but dude sounds like it sounds like he's a repeat aggressor it's pretty gnarly with stuff like this in politics it's such a dirty game

that like a lot of i mean not saying this uh situation in general but I feel like sometimes people just get blackmailed for like years, right? Like they have this information on people. And then like was there like an election or something coming up? And then yeah, like they don't want him to win. So now all this shit's coming out at once. I mean, he's still a bad guy, obviously. But I feel like some of it's just blackmail.

No, it's true. It's like it's good he's been found out and it's good he's resigning. But then you look at the timing and you're like, oh, it was a crowded Democratic field. did some powerful people want him out of there so it'd be a bit clearer at the top because the timing but yeah but it's overall

it's like you know as soon as possible let's get this guy away from people in a statement he said he's like he's defending himself he's like these are false allegations but he said I made mistakes on judgment and past

yeah Which we all have too. It's funny because that can mean so many different things. Yeah. Like does that mean you were like too flirty at a party? Or do you mean like you having a full-blown affair? Or do you mean like you like coerce sex from people who work for you? Yeah.

For mistakes in judgment I made in past, I will fight the serious false allegations made against me. However, I must take responsibility and ownership for the mistakes I did make. What are those? What are those, Rick? we don't want to self-incriminate he's like on on january 13th yeah 2016

I got a blowie yeah he's like from my buddy carl situation ship yeah I should not have done that he's like all right all right these are false but I did take my wiener out yeah it's like a list there's a list of a hundred he's marking which ones are legit

speaking of let's get something lighter. Dude, are you following this summer house drama? No, I haven't followed it. God bless you. Do we feed on infidelity too much as a society? I think, I mean, it's such a breach of trust. Yeah, I think it's, it's.

But at the same time, it's so commonplace. Yeah. Like this guy West dated this girl's Sierra for like six months. And then they still had some unresolved romantic tension. after the fact, then her best friend in this show and probably a good friend in real life, Amanda is going through a divorce and Amanda starts sleeping with West. The timeline is not for certain, but it does seem like it's probably true that the ink wasn't dry on the divorce when she started sleeping with West.

This happens all the time. Yeah. This is the most common thing in the world. fucking your friend's ex. People are treating it like it's Eric Swalwell or something like that. And they're like, West is a bad guy. Amanda's a pick me.

Ciar is a victim. Kyle was never truly loved in his relationship. It explains his toxic behavior. And then because we have all the footage, we can go back and look at little micro moments like Amanda walking by West and grabbing his hand. And like, oh, we think the affair started there. Or, oh, this comment that Kyle made

about how Amanda, you know, didn't give him physical affection. That might have been true and that might have been explained why he went over the top on this. It's like, dude, it's so normal. It's all very normal. Doesn't mean it's good, but it happens all the time. And we just feed on it. These people give us so much. They're giving us their lives and their mistakes.

They deserve to be exalted. They deserve to have the fame. I could not stand up to that scrutiny. No, it's a lot. I could not do it. And I know these people do it willingly and they get a lot because of it. But I do think it behooves us to not treat them like war criminals for fucking, you know, their buddy's ex-wife. Yeah.

I grew up around maniacs. Everybody was fucking everybody at some point. That's a good point. I think you nailed it. Did I make a point? I think so. Good. Fucking A.

Because I've been dying to get that off my chest. Do you watch some Rouse? I do sometimes. I haven't watched the last couple seasons, but I watched a season and two. I watched like the Hannah Burner season. She was hilarious. Her and this guy, Luke and Kyle, they were funny. Their fights are hilarious.

Yeah. The guy Kyle is amazing television. He's electric. He says all the things you're not supposed to say. He leans into every fight. And he goes too far. He's perfect. And so Summer House, do they get a house in the Hamptons?

Yes. And he says funny non-sequiters. Like the girl Lindsay will be like, Kyle's super drunk. She's like, Kyle, stay with me. Say something you're thankful for. He goes, Sharks, my parents, Amanda. It's like the fucking sharks. It's the greatest thing anyone's ever said.

It's fucking amazing. Do you ever wish we had real world? back. That was the best. Yeah. And I feel like we weren't as harsh on those people. No. Why is that? I don't know. I don't know when we got so like puritanical about it. We're like, can you believe West would have sex with Amanda? I'm like, he's a 30 year old famous guy living in a house with hot women. He's already slept with one of him. We didn't like her that much. Now he's sleeping with the other one. Yeah. This is very not like it's it's not like understandable where I'm like, that's what I would do.

Maybe if I was West and he seems like a cooler, Hans, you know, he's good that way. Like, maybe I would. But I'm like, why is that shock?

Like, we're all like, holy fuck. Or like, even the sand of all thing. I'm like, that was, I guess it's crazy just because we have the footage too,

because you can go back and see all the earlier stuff. Yeah. When they were pretending like they weren't doing that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Do you think we had as much of an obsession with like, with,

locating the quote unquote bad people and ostracizing them for being bad? Yeah, I think I think we always have had that and then sometimes the system is just more set up to funnel that energy and it's really well set up right now. Yeah. Do you think it's the algorithm? You think it's the algorithm? It's the amount of footage we can watch. You know, it's a little bit like that season one third episode of Black Mirror where you can

like replay your whole day and see everything and just get lost in your own. experience a little bit more like i think we used to have the stocks right we'd be like hey this guy like you know was grabbing was touching women's butts at the merchant tables so like put him in the stocks we'll all check tomatoes and call him a pervert yeah and then now we have like the algo and you're just like the fuck is and then like sometimes like if it's an eric swell well thing you're like dude you totally deserve like the onslaught of hate you asked us to believe in you and like you you wanted to be a hero yeah these people these people are you know, retards and horrors on TV.

Yeah. Like, why are we? And then people would be like, because Sierra's black, they'll be like, like, you know, they'll bring up, uh, the race components and like this intersectionality and all this other stuff. I'm like, bro. Come on, man. These are just, this is what hot idiots do. And they're not idiot idiots.

Like they all actually articulate and they seem cool. But like, you know, they're, they're in a position to be. idiots on TV like I'm like I don't know I'm not gonna I'm not gonna think they're bad people yeah if you were on a reality show would you be inclined to like be bad whoa yeah like almost like when you're playing that Jedi game and you have to choose if you're gonna be like dark force or positive force yeah dude I think I would start off being a good guy and then after a couple years I would see the shortcomings in that and I would think it was all just a game and I'd go bad just to kind of win I'd go more Spencer Pratt I'd

I do that. Our future mayor. You know what? Actually, we do need to take these people down. It's like so crazy. He's like bowling second or third. It's so crazy.

Dude, I want to be on a selling sunset. Be the bad guy in that. Yeah. Like you tank this listing on purpose? You take this listing. You take my listing, Chad. Yeah.

Dude, you egged my house before the open house. You just find out. You just fucking did. Oh, man. Part of the reason why live streaming is so popular is because it's like, quote, unquote, like, raw reality, right? Mm-hmm. So, like, if someone does something fucked up, there's, like, instant feedback from the chat that's like, yo, chill.

Like, on these reality shows, sometimes they'll just start drinking and, like, it'll be, like, five hours later at night. And there's, like, a chick throwing a glass across the room or something, you know? Yeah. Like, you don't have that, like, instant feedback. And then they record it for, like, the gain, obviously. or like views but I think they just set people up in certain situations where they go fucking buck wild

Of course, yeah, it's a fishbow and the producers make them go crazy We have producer friends in the business They have to engineer chaos So the show's not going to move But like Jersey's short Like I don't think we like Ronnie and Sammy had like an abusive relationship

And like But I don't remember like being as upset by it As we are by it now like I think we were more grateful but we're like thank you for giving us this peek into your insanity maybe it's like there's like

they were so funny too maybe there's such a plethora of stuff coming out right now that it's like something that has to get us going is you have to get like real drama to get you going yes it runs on dude it runs the entertainment industrial complex runs on infidelity

like scand of all this that sells the most it permeates the farthest because it puts people into that puritanical thing where they're like bad i'm better i'm like dude get fucked you jack off to weird shit get the fuck out of here god knows i do you got to you got to brother we're just trying to get through it rip a few sigs my lady doesn't like me smoking cigarettes i guess that's normal yeah that makes sense i don't smoke that much so i i but do you smoke them cool no no dude i look so i you watch me

smoke. I don't think I do. Shoot me straight brother. How's it look? You're like Ben Affleck. Yeah, I do. I do kind of have that too. You know my energy. I get a little... I'm like pretty fiendy when I do stuff. And I'm intense. I'm an intense guy. You could just say I smoke like Ben Affleck.

That sounds cool though. I do... Once every two weeks is where I'm at. I think you need to like... I think you need to like put on some... Throw on some shades. And like... So you think if I work the aesthetic, she'll be more into it. You kick your foot against the wall, you know, lean back. And she'd be like, hey, hey, baby, what's good?

He's just, he's like, I fucking love that Affleck, man. He's like, I'm having a really tough time, man. That Netflix's the fucking greatest. Did you see Soderberg's doing a movie using AI? Oh, I saw like a headline. I didn't look into it. Yeah. Damn.

Dude, I saw one AI commercial. like, do you see an ad that you like? Use our AI program to replicate that ad for your own product. I was like, oh, my God. It's brave of them to do that. So what's he? I think he's doing a documentary about John Lennon and Yoko Ono. And for one part where they're talking about their dreams,

they're going to animate it using AI. Are people getting pissed at him? Yeah. Everyone's going to be doing it. I know people will say I'm lame in like a bootlicker. But I really think you have to figure out a way to adapt and adopt this stuff. Or you're just going to lose out to someone else who will. I know that seems fatalistic, but I don't think it's not as bad as it sounds.

These technologies come through. They're huge disruptions. And they do have negative externalities. But hopefully those things get worked on. And if we can be clear-eyed about it, we can use it ethically into our advantage. So that not just for us, but, you know, things we like can get better too. And when I see people being so resistant to or saying it's dumb or saying it's slop, I'm like, I just don't think that's prudent. And I, yeah.

Well, I think that the Bob Lazard documentary, that was pretty much all the AI. Was it? I think there's a lot of stuff people who are already absorbing that is AI that's not saying it's AI. that has a ton of that, like new music that's using it. A lot of TV shows, I think, are probably already using it. So someone in the chat said, I feel like if you're not going to make it, I don't know why I'd watch it. Yeah, but I mean, if you think about how much technology

already goes into so many things that you do appreciate and enjoy, it does seem a little bit arbitrary to me. Yeah, I think in a lot of cases, like CGI, like, you know. Someone's still curating the airy. AI and saying this part didn't work, this part did. Is it as difficult as it was 10 years ago? No, but was that as difficult as it was 100 years before that? No, these processes get easier.

But as a result, the competition gets tougher and it's harder to bust through. So, yeah, I'm not even, I don't really use it. So I'm not even really trying to be defensive about it. I just think that's where it's going to go. Yeah, I, uh, I love chat GPT. I mean, I do use it for like a lot of personal stuff. It's hugely helpful in like research. Yeah.

I was arguing with someone about the Pope yesterday, and I was like, they were like, the Pope should have waiting on politics, and I was like on cloud. Is that it? Claude. I was on Claude.

Both. And I was like, tell me what Benedict, JP2, and Francis said that was like overtly political. And it gave me like, you know, it's wrong a lot, but it gave me good examples that were right. Yeah. I think one thing AI will do is,

is it will, it will I mean to me I'm starting to value not that I didn't before but just more and more live entertainment yeah

like the things you can't fake yeah I mean there's it's just to have an experience like that we're just so overloaded with and we're just so overloaded with content and all that kind of stuff but live entertainment

it's like the energy is you can't but I like that perspective I think you're being really smart because you're not just saying like oh everything sucks now everything's AI you're saying all right well where if that is true well then where is the space where things don't suck

yeah I think that's a great way to look at it because you're being forward about it and that's sick because then people come to your Stoke seminar and they're like dude this is a human thing this was completely created by a human yeah I think there's just something like you like watching like Stone Cold or like

or like you know going to Coachella like seeing seeing Bieber live and stuff like that it's just like it's just the human to human connections but if you found out that Bieber before the show like put his set list through AI and had it organize it in a way that would have like

maximum impact or if there was like a YouTube video that was missing so he created a YouTube video for the set that was AI would that no I I guess that's what I'm championing is that like those integrations are going to happen. As long as the artist at the front is still a good artist, I don't think it's like we should throw it all out. No, I totally agree.

I think using it as a tool to enhance your work, I don't, you know, I think it's, and it'll probably be, there will probably be a point where you can't tell whether it's AI or not. I think we've probably reached that point. But when something's made entirely by AI, if you know. know it you know you're not isn't even the Bob was our thing I'm kind of like I was like no I can't crank to AI porn right yeah because I'm like I need to know a person is having sex here yeah totally I think Gen Z is going to theaters more do you read that movie theaters I think so pray to God that'd be awesome yeah but I think as a tool like to deny as a tool to like help with things I don't I think that like I think you're spot on

I think, you know, we've always used technology doing hints. I got a beef the week along this lines. Why do people think Artemis II was fake? Us going to the moon. Like, people are using- People think that's fake? Yeah, people are using AI to, like, create, like, those astronauts in front of, like, a green screen or, like, in, like, a warehouse somewhere.

Oh, wow. And it's like, bro, I, if, I mean, I know some people don't believe the first one was true. But if we went there in the 60s, why the fuck could we not go there now? Well, people don't think we went in the 60s, though. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Some people don't believe that first one. But this one, I feel like technology is so advanced.

You get jet propulsion. And then people were like, will the live streams cut out? And like, it was grainy footage. And it's like, bro, the guy's fucking 200,000 miles away from fucking Earth where our satellites are. Like, obviously it's not going to run crystal clear. or 4K. I don't know. Jake, I love where you're at lately, man.

You're crushing. I think do you think everyone just, like, wants to be the guy who gets it and doesn't want to be the guy who got duped? Yeah, maybe. Yeah. Yeah, I guess that could possibly be it

where they're like, they don't want to look stupid or something. Yeah, like, if you're the black pill dude and you're always like, oh, man, you buy into that, you buy into that. Like, you're never going to be wrong because most stuff's going to, like, there's going to be revisionist history on everything that says it wasn't what we thought it was in the moment

I don't know I just this has really been ericking my nerves the last two weeks or weeks since it happened because like people are using even AI to have like an AC130 dropped the thing out of the back and it was like that's its reentry and I'm like bro this thing was going fucking 20,000 miles an hour to like get back into the ozone and I watched it live and you thought it was sick you loved yeah I loved I thought it was legit and it was like a huge step for mankind. It's the farthest anybody's been around the backside of the moon. The farthest anybody's been in space ever. Dude, that's what we're missing.

That's what we're missing right now is inspiration. Anyone who like whenever people get inspired, there's other people who are like, well, that's, it's all fake. Because, dude, it's, the haters, they got the loudest megaphone. The reentry comes in. All the people who are psyched about this Artemis too, they get blotted out by the people who are like, you believe in that?

Like it's, yeah, maybe it's coming down. It's just the, uh, it's the let's go versus the haters. I think rebellion in this day and age is to be inspired, to be pumped. Can you do it? To be like NASA is sick. The moon. And they're like, oh, how could you say NASA's sick?

Do you know what they did? 1982 they were selling space parts and using it to fund the Sandinistas which turned into money for crack yeah you're like bro man kid i'm just talking about the space shit i know that's that's what made the 90s cool i think the best because we were just like we were you know like nirvana let's go we're like you know bill clinton let's go except for the Lewinsky thing but like You know. Well, I mean, no, but it's true. Like,

Soviet Union dropped out. We were the solo power. It was just us at the top. And we were dictating terms. And then, you know, we had, Nirvana was like kind of being like, maybe that shouldn't happen. They were like a counter voice to you. Yeah, but it was great because they ripped.

Yeah. It was fucking they sick. Just being, just getting pumped. Like, they fucking ripped. Like just, you know. He did kill himself. that's true but if it fucking bro you really believe that um but uh fuck you got me yeah dude dude dude that is true that's how you win too dude yeah because i was trying to win but then you won me on

that one thing i liked about the beaver thing is some people try to come out and be like y'all are lame that performance is lame but i think the the the uh the pro you know the the hate was drowned out by the praise in this one. And I like that where people are like, some people try to go like, bro, you thought that was, you thought that was good, bro? And people were like, like the louder voice in this instance was shut up. It was good. Yeah.

Yeah, Jake, I think you got to be the voice for Artemis too, dude. Just be hyped on how sick it was. Yeah, I am hype. You are hyped. You are hyped. Reposting some stuff on it. And I'm also hyped on J.B.'s fucking laptop at Coachella. That shit was fucking raw.

that's modern. That's how like live streams are where people are like, check this out. What I think is funny. And then he got the whole crowd to be like, D's nuts. You know, like that was fucking hilarious. He's trying to do shit. Yeah. And it was like in the moment, intimate.

Let's fucking go. People didn't come to fucking see Sabrina Carpenter do like a 20 twirl arounds. It came to meet the artist. You know, they want to see what Justin Bieber's up to. Oh, you didn't have to go after Sabrina there. But I love where you're coming from. I love it. Yeah, Jake, you are ripping right now, bro.

Yo, yo. I think y'all might need some energy let's run it dude the way he talks I was just dying like I was loving it he's like he's like Coachella was good

y'all is so beautiful man well I'm good to see him happy dude yeah we saw him five years ago he was bummed he was bummed visibly bummed yeah we saw him at crypto he was a sad bro yeah he was up there and he was like look I know I know y'all don't want to hear me talk.

He just want to hear me sing. And his dancing was like so low energy. He was like, oh, is it too late now to say song? Yeah. I'm like, get this guy a protein bar. I thought the same with Kanye. Like, he was just up there smiling and happy

and thanking the crowd. He's had so many wild rides in the past years that, like, just to see the artist up there in the flesh, happy seeing 80,000 people singing his songs. Yeah. Like, that's what I went to the concert for, man. That's what it's all about. Yeah.

So, like, was there. like a collective moment where like at all like because it was crazy to me with the coney thing I didn't know I didn't expect everyone to be so amped to go I thought it would still be like a complicated thing like oh it's Kanye should I go should I not but everyone went and was just fired up yeah very diverse set of people too like people I know in LA who I was like oh wow I'm like I would have thought you'd been more gun shy about that they were like no I need this Kanye show right now right right right It's just the music is so fucking good. It was like the perfect time period of my life.

Like high school college, Kanye ruled. He was the king. He had many hits. I think he's got the greatest. Of my lifetime, the greatest musician. The greatest catalog potentially. For sure. For sure.

A lot of the great artists that people say were the greatest died like five years into their run. Kanye's been doing it for 20, 25 years. Yeah. If you go from college dropout to like life of Pablo, it's like the greatest musical. on ever. Yeah. Or do you go past life of Pablo? No, I don't really like his new stuff like bully, but even like Yis

or like 808 and heartbreak. Yes, for sure. It was like those two albums were fucking insane. And huge leaps forward for music. Exactly. And he was like testing shit. He was trying shit. Like electric voices and like a huge auto tune.

I mean, a lot of people did that. But he was kind of like the forefront of a lot of that. No, it still sounds insane when he listen to Yeas. Like hold my liquor, dude. That fucking song. you get you so fucking fired up dude that shit'll get you so pumped up yeah there's something uh i do feel like people are i do feel like people are starting to get come around more

towards like enough with the discourse let's just enjoy let's party yeah what other choice it's like a matrix two just fucking the machines are coming yeah let's orgy yeah let's orgy for sure I do think I'm on social media too much, but if you could dose it right, it's the fucking greatest. Dude, will you... Jake, let me send you a vid.

Last thing on Kanye. The production value was out of this fucking world. The dude was on a half dome that turned into every single planet in the universe. It looked incredible. It had smoke coming out of it. And then they had fireworks, flames. Like when flashing lights and all of the lights came on,

they had these lasers that were just lighting up the fucking arena. It was like his only show in the U.S. could potentially be his last show ever at this rate with how they're canceling his shows. And I was there. It was fucking incredible. Oh, they're canceling his shows? Yeah, he was supposed to headline the wireless show.

And advertisers dropped out. Yeah, Pepsi and a whole bunch of other people dropped out. I mean, you know, he did bring it on himself a little bit. Yeah. It's like, you are the greatest musician ever. but you were playing with fire. All right, so Blake Bortles is like, was a pretty good NFL quarterback, never great.

And this is just a video about him. What's the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning? Usually just piss. What would you do if you weren't playing football? If I wasn't playing football, working construction, ripping six. Do you know how much money you made? Do you know?

It says 47 million. Sounds right now. That's awesome. Yeah. Suck it, nerds. Bro. How glorious is that? Just piss.

I was having a hard day a couple days ago. Yeah. I just pulled that. It just popped up into my feed. Yeah. I watched it. I was like, let's fucking go. Put my phone down.

I was like, there is no time to feel bad. Pedal to the metal. Let's freaking live, dude. Blake Bortles is out there. Pissing. He hucks some tuddies. Got to the AFC championship game. It's a beautiful world.

What's the first thing you do? Just piss. He's just fucking pissed. It's so good. How much it says you be a four-step? Yeah, that sounds right. Yeah, that's fucking awesome. Suck it nerd.

That fired me up. Did it right? Yeah. That's when social media is the fucking best. Yeah.
