We've reached a bit of a milestone where we're at 10,000. If you guys downloading each episode, so we really appreciate it. Thanks for putting up with us. Thank you. And what's new with you, Garrett? What's going on in L.A.? I mean, we're going to get into a lot of COVID shit on this, especially in the Tony Hinch clip one, but I mean, we're gonna get into a lot of COVID shit on this, especially in the Tony Hinchcliffe one, but what update you got? I was just playing paddle down, and Venice was Sam today,

and he mentioned they just put in a... I mean, we've obviously had this take-out order situation, and I don't, so weird, I don't know if the lockdown is still official, I'm assuming it is, but apparently there's gonna be like like a 15 day quarantine starting yesterday. If you leave LA County or are trying to enter LA County, and not exactly sure how they were going to impose it, and he was pretty vague on that as well.

But he was like, they're going to be a lot more lockdowny, I guess. I'm trying to think of logistics on how they can actually enforce that which doesn't seem feasible But we just came back from Mexico. We spent a few days in Mexico for new years and came back and I Don't know man. It's obviously feels awkward here like it's almost been a year now And it's almost feels like the twilight zone is this field that we're back to when it all started again, so I Don't know. Yeah, almost like it's worse, right? Yeah, I mean, now that is just this whole like new normal situation, it just seems like I'm not really going to accept that. I don't know what like how to put that, but it's like, I don't know. Just

unspeakable. Yeah, it doesn't seem realistic. My buddy just pulled up in North Carolina. I was on the other line with him before we got on this and he's like walking into the gym and I was saying to you like how Vital that was like having that back like last year I haven't had the opportunity to do that in a year now I mean I had a few a handful of experiences in Arizona and across the country, but like The small things like that like it wasn't really a small thing for me. It was a part of my day and it was like one of the, like what I look forward to.

And the fact that that's been like ripped out of my, like life, it's kind of like I'm trying to, not, I don't want to be as over the top as I have been because it's like it is what it is. And if I want to move, then I can move. But Sam keeps saying they're going to have a national lockdown whenever Biden comes into office as far as like, if this does not change, we're going to like, and I was gonna say, I don't know, I'm just gonna be some resistance in some of these sort of states. Dude, this place is mostly open.

Like I would say it's basically open. Right. You know, and they've had a lot of cases too, but it's like, you know, not enough to where people are at work, businesses are open, communities are there, like, oh, check this out for news. So in the Jiu-Jitsu community, and obviously Garrett, you've heard of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, right? Yeah. Yeah. Well, Hicks and Gracie is really considered the greatest Jiu-Jitsu fighter of all time. Right. His son, Krone Gracie, who fights in the UFC, is from Santa Monica, lived there. He used to, like, come to my school sometimes, and used to eat at the sushi place next

order, the sleep number I used to manage. Right. Anyway, I just found out yesterday that he's moved up here and opened a school. Oh, yeah. So I went over to the school, it's in Belgrade, and I walk in and freaking Nate Diaz is on the mat training Dude rolling. Yeah, I do monster Dude, it was awesome. I mean the killers that he's brought up here But I mean for me personally that was a big part of what I lost in LA is like this great lineage of

like this great lineage of Jiu Jitsu from these amazing practitioners and that was always going to be the one thing I wouldn't have up here, you know, I could get my freedoms back and other stuff, but I was never gonna run into a gym that had a Gracie in, you know, and now ones just opened up 20 minutes away. I can't believe it. That's amazing. I love to hear that. That's not like you would be using it. Dude, I am one I can't believe it. That's amazing. I love to hear that. That's not like you would be using it. Dude, I am one billion percent joining that jam right If that's even a percentage, but yeah, I'm going tonight at seven. Hopefully Nick, I mean Nate be there and he was an open mat like anyone could a roll with them That's awesome like hopefully they do that tonight and he will destroy me You think is he good at jiu jitsu? Do you know just out of here? I don't know. Oh, yeah.

He owns a school in Stockton. And yeah, that, I mean, that's really his bread and butter when it comes to his fighting. But he's incredible boxer too. I was gonna say, I knew his box, right? Yeah, it's a total package really as a fighter. But he was cool as fuck as well But you know my point is

You know people are leaving. They're like I spoke to Kron about it yesterday I'd never spoke to him before and I we knew a lot of the same people from where I trained and Yeah, he was just like dude. How long could I stay there for right like it's a year like I just I love Santa Monica I never wanted to leave, but I'm ready. And he couldn't be happier. Like you said, I mean, the writings on the wall, but he was even saying it, people are emotionally stuck, I think, to what it was, what it, you know,

maybe it will be this again and. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I've said since the jump, I I just my living situation is so money, but I'm I have to evaluate I don't know it's it's been good for me still, but like I said the Just normalcy of any kind of life being ripped out at this point and it seems like we are it seems like we're polarized by it too Like everybody knows what's going on in LA across the country. And it seems like we're kind of in and alone

the way we're doing it at this point. There's not a whole lot, I mean, I guess New York, but it's kind of crazy LA. Well, on the bright side, you got your $600, right? Yeah, I did just see that in my account, random nails, like I was standing, you had nice. I didn't even know that was coming, but until they put it in that account,

I don't believe anything they say anyway at this point. Yeah, right. So keep an eye out for that, guys. You should begin your $600 thing. I haven't got mine, but that's all right. Right. I mean, what that's going to do, who knows?

What the fuck can you do with that realistically after a year of not working, but I don't know. Yep. The buyout. It just seems like it seems like a Christmas present that you, from your parents, where you're like, oh my god, this sucks. Like, what were you doing? You know?

It just seems like the biggest waste of time. Like, we're adults with real bills. Yeah. And you want to give us 600 bucks. Yeah. Yeah, I have no idea what the right answer is at this point. There's anything. That's the thing. Well, let's get into the microcosm pod.

I like, I like that guy like from the daily show. Like I've always thought he was very good. Right. And he obviously opens up with like how wild it is. The Rogan's podcast is so big. Yeah. It, I guess people almost can't contain themselves saying that, but it's almost like a thing that we don't need to go over

every time there's a podcast. Like, yeah, he knows it's massive. He doesn't know why and like what to do about it. But it was one cool thing that Michael talked about at the beginning is that game because he was talking about like being able to speak well, right? And the practice you get from TV and then and podcasts and like whatever you do, like you learn how to speak well over time, hopefully better than me.

I'm bumbling through this, but he said his mother would give him a ball. And then he would be asked a question. He'd have to answer the question, ask another question, and then hand the ball over and you couldn't go past that point until that was done. I feel like that's such an interesting thing to do with a kid, to teach him good ways to kind of hold conversations. Let's talk about, you know, being interested in the other person. I'm not talking so much about yourself, but like, you know, learning about other people.

I think that's a smart move. I wonder like how much of that was that played into his success with the things that he's doing. Oh, I'm sure 10 fold. I think that's a, that's one of the high, I can't remember the name of the book right at the top of my head, like the seven principles

of highly effective people or something. I can't, I'm messing that up, but one of them is the original one has become genuinely interested in other people. And it's, it's so valuable, like even in life. And people remember that stuff. Like, excuse me, whenever you actually engage and ask questions and other people's conversations,

I mean, that goes so far. That's obviously why Joe has been so successful is that he becomes genuinely interested in other people's success and what they've found to be truth. So, it's like he just wants to learn more and more. So, I think that's a great... That's like what we used to do with team building to our number. We'd do that kind of stuff and not in the same category as Trust Falls, but we did that

for some theater groups and some other stuff. I think it's a great way to communicate with people and learn those tactics. It's like the difference between waiting for your turn to speak and genuinely just letting the other person finish what they're saying, which is sometimes hard to do on a podcast because it take us, for example, sometimes we speak over each other. I think it's difficult because we don't see each other. We like do it through a phone call, but It's just one of those examples like I hate to rush in to a point But sometimes I think I'm gonna forget what I was trying to say absolutely Absolutely, I think the whole idea is not necessarily waiting for your turn to talk is something

I was kind of keeping the back my head like listening to theirs and then always reacting I have a couple of buddies that are really good communicators that You'll ask him a question and you think that they like didn't hear you or something because they'll just like pause and it's like because they're genuinely Thinking up like I'm trying to be better about this because it means a lot It's we usually just react to how things affect us. We don't necessarily think like objectively So it's like you take that extra for sure. You take that extra second like I And it's like I'm thinking it to guys right now that I ask him a question and it'll be like this delayed thing And I'm like this fucking guys not even responding to my gonna have to ask him again

And then like right when I used to think people like that was stupid right Well, no why they take it so long? No, cuz then they, because they're fucking thinking about what they're going to say and they, they, they know you value what they say. So they're not going to fucking just shoot anything out of their mouth. They're going to like, like, I think there's a lot to that personally. Yeah. I like it. You know what I was thinking about earlier in the week after this podcast is they kind of, so Michael was talking about like negative shit online. Right. You know, when they say that like things he posts are stupid and, you know, Joe is always saying, don't read that stuff.

Right. That's the simple solution. It's not like read it sometimes or have a different perspective or understanding about what you're reading is just like never read it. Yeah, definitely. Like Joe has decided there's no good from it and it makes sense. And he was saying how should pal like stays away totally basically from social media. Yeah, yeah, she does completely off social media, I believe.

He does have an Instagram, but it's, uh, it was like for razor, when I saw something, but I don't think he's super active on it. But he's definitely not looking up shit about himself. No, you know, whether it's good or bad, there's no point. It's like it just gets in the way. You don't need it to boost you to do more shit. I agree.

And, you know, you could have one bad comment out of 10 good ones, and that's the only one that sits with you. Totally. So, fucking ignore it. Yeah, I wonder why the human mind is like that because it's our winds are never as good as or as bad as our losses you know what I mean I'm sure you know I think because we have threat assesses we're always looking for the things that

kind of hurts us right yeah maybe that's why yeah like talking By talking about, I mean, that brings up COVID, right? And what about what about the big effects like through COVID, they talked about relationships being destroyed, relationships that were good between people and through COVID has just become a disaster. I mean, I definitely have a story like that. Yeah. I don't want to play devil's ad be kid on that but I have heard of that similar scenario. I don't know. I guess I don't have, I didn't have, I have kind of a girl now but I didn't have one throughout the whole time and I guess we're going through it now. It's nice having my girl with me but it's like either your relationship is good or bad. It seems like it's such a cop out to say that COVID's caused deterioration of relation. We had to spend time with the person like I don't think that and in this whatever like if you and I were roommates and we had to spend more time together

we wouldn't like ruin our friendship. I just don't foresee that indeed. Is that fair to say? True, I mean that you know that makes sense, but I think the point they were making is like True, I mean that, you know, that makes sense, but I think the point they were making is like just because of the other hardships that it brings, like the instability, financially or otherwise, like you're gonna go one or two ways, right? You're either gonna be drawn closer together, which in some ways can create more tension, you know, because now you're super relying on each other, and you're just waiting for the other person to potentially let you down. Or you get drawn apart because the stresses of everything,

like maybe one of you is not working and the other one has to support that one. And it's been rough. There's some stuff I can, I'm sure you're right. That makes sense. I don't... Yeah. Yeah. You can't... That's the thing. You can't measure all that stuff, right? That's like not...

That's not measurable. You really can't. You know, and even Joe said, like by the time Gavin Newsom gets out of office, like he's gonna have destroyed that state. Complete. With... Yeah, with these types of things. I mean, it's, he's definitely not in the business of like, trying to analyze where people are depressed. Right.

I mean, this is why you don't hear about any of this stuff. And I don't think Joe moved. It seems weird the media isn't trying to like, talk about it the way. I guess it's just because everything's so depressing. News-wise anyway. Right. That it's hard, it's hard to kind of go over.

How much of the population is watching the news? Is my question a lot, you think? Like, how do you get your news? I think about how I get my news is probably through our group chat or through friggin' Instagram. That's not like I turn on Channel 12 and just like catch up on the news. I never really did that in my first place, but I can tell you right now I stay so far away from the news.

Like I was talking to Sam about that about the vaccine, like as far as traveling and what have you. Like the fact that Fauci got it and the fact that Biden got it, I don't even know at this point it being so early on that he's like, here's the thing about that though, they trust the scientists. And I'm like, like do they or they just put some solution in their arm Like I wouldn't be surprised that's the case at this point like I don't believe I literally believe zero like zero There's no there's no fucking tread to walk on at this point like I It seems naive to put your faith in anything like what are we like you've already burned us like fool me once fool me twice like where are we going with this? Yeah, well

I'm pretty sure that they're Giving the vaccine out to people right like I don't think people are injecting themselves I hope maybe I might be being a But that's just what went through my head because I don't believe I mean, I don't know sorry interrupt you there It's just yeah, no, it's all right I hope maybe there's a few politicians that are like super paranoid about the effects and have to do some sort of public Vaccine shot and maybe they maybe they orchestrated something like that, but it seems unlikely. I mean people people want to be They don't want to get this,

but we'll get it again, or whatever it is. And now there's this new strain out of England. It's all over the US supposedly. I'm like, you gotta be kidding, man. Is the vaccine even gonna work for that? I mean, it seems weird. It all seems weird at this point, I don't know. I am so, it's everything just seems so disingenuous and like I mean well we got it goes back to taking care of ourselves right Joe talks about it all day long and he even mentioned it on on this

podcast like because of the injuries that he's had like fucked up knees all the rest of it right I mean you know rest of it. I mean, you know, they're getting to the point where they can like rebuild these things a lot better. You can get stem cells. You can do like do a lot to keep yourself healthy and really moving into old age. Absolutely. And it makes you think like where, how old are you now, 37? 38. 38. All right, 39. Dude, it can't be long, which probably get on test all surround. Do what? Get on test all surround. I mean, I would be down in a heartbeat now. I think it'd be fun just to see what the body could do. I mean, Joe's obviously. Yeah, maybe just do a little bit. Like I don't want to get old crazy

jack, but you know, if it keeps you feeling young and young and strong I mean this is about when Joe started it. I love the idea. I would definitely try it. I mean I would like to see I feel like I'm I kind of have quite a bit of that in my body already but there's like no shortage of energy but at the same time. At the same time. Kid never have enough. Yeah I was gonna say I gonna give it a shot. Yeah, I

mean, they would talk you about how Tom Segera fucked himself up. Yeah, that I mean, so he scares me. Think about that right now. Like if that were to have that's what just did not to come back to the COVID thing, but that's what Sam had mentioned to me is like, think about you and I are out here playing paddle tennis. You roll your ankle and a fucking bone comes out of the side of your ankle. They don't have a fucking bed for you at the hospital You just have to fucking suck that up. I don't know if that's true But that's he he's seen pretty fucking confident. That was the case If they're not gonna clear out of COVID. Well the hospitals are overwhelmed in LA

I mean, that's wonderful I just fucked and shut down and he even mentioned that too He's like if you get it. He said that they they had said that if you're like with if they could save you But you're like there's a chance you could pass. They'll just call it like if you're in, he said that they had said that if you're like with if they could save you, but you're like there's a chance You could pass. They'll just call it like if you're in a severe car accident or something now They're not gonna put you they're not gonna admit you you're just gonna end up here There's gonna kind of wait it out for you to die. I don't know That's a what that's I heard from a bird, but that's what he said

Wow, I wonder how I wonder what you're it was when he heard himself. I'm sure Tom. He got the money to go bomb into a private facility somewhere. I'm sure. Yeah, but I mean, Broke his arm blew his knee out. I mean, it was a mess. I haven't seen all of the footage, but I've seen some of the memes that he posted. It's like it's almost like you don't want to watch it

it's so big. The bigger you are the harder you fall I'm sure it was a lot of big guy a lot of weight on that fucking leg in that arm for sure I heard I heard guy trying to I fall I followed Bert on his fucking Instagram and he's watching the top 10 and then he's like waits for the number one to come on and he's like Thompson grew up falling Thompson grew up, Thompson Griffall, and Thompson Griffall, and Thompson Griffall, and it wasn't obviously it was a pro play, but I'm just like, oh my God, that, that's just not funny, man, that should have

hurt. No, that's what you got to do yoga. Yeah, right. The one thing in this podcast that Joe talked about, that I really thought was cool, and I'd heard this story before I can't remember where he may have actually said it at the comedy store while I was watching him to use some stand up. But he talked about how he was doing so much yoga for a while, that he got in a car accident

and I know it was in his Porsche GT3 and this kid re-rendered him. So that's an expensive car and it's a rare car so it's a tough, you know, it's really difficult to get those fixed. Rearended him and the kid didn't have a license or insurance and he was on the legal. Right. And Joe just went, hey look, the police are here, you know, I'll let you go. Right. But what he said afterwards that I thought was really cool as Joe was thinking and he was like, I need to strive to be the person all the time that I was when that kid re-rendered me. Absolutely. I think he does.

I think that there I'm I think after you have that practice for a while and not that I'm enlightened by any stretch, but I do I can see where he's coming from, especially when he acknowledges the fact that the money's like never going to be an issue forever. Like, if you can see that, yeah, he doesn't need to worry. You're not so like scarcity drawn. I mean, I think that that's a great way to put it. I think that meditation, I totally agree with the yoga thing, but even on a lighter set, like I've noticed so much patience and so much clarity, like even spending 10 minutes a day just meditating means so much. Like, yeah, and it's not just that he's so wealthy he could fix it. Like, yeah, that was a prime example, but I mean, it could be a smaller issue, right?

He could be a Starbucks and something could happen. That could be annoying. Somebody said, and it's just about having more patience. Patience, right? I totally agree. The big takeaway I thought that I liked from the Michael Kosta wine so he was He was talking about Tennis right see he used to be a tennis player and that the guy

Joe was talking about that due to the gem there was like a really good Babmonton guy or something some other game that like nobody gives a fuck about. Right. And he was like a world champion, but you couldn't go anywhere with it. Right. And it was something that Joe looked at when he was doing Taikwondo. He's like, wow, I'm really good at this. But I'm a dead end.

I can't make any money like this. And it's interesting because you always hear like follow your passions go with it like no matter what like And he did that all the see with the podcast that pays off, but I guess also There's a bit of a trap Because you might end up getting really good at something that has no value And that's definitely something that you should think about Yeah, I mean, it's all the value to you too, is from a psychological standpoint. You can look at it that way,

but I think nowadays there's a market for almost anything. There's so many people in this world if you're a professional bad-minton player or you have the, I mean, not even credentials but the ability. Somebody wants to be good at that. You could offer lessons. You could find an angle.

That's probably, if you wanted to, I mean, that would take a little more creativity and ingenuity, but I think that there's a there's a market for I mean anything nowadays like if you want to fucking be the I mean it's not simple, but the best cook you could hire a personal chef to come in and teach you how to be the best Obviously you can make a lot of money doing that but that you know, right There's an I just thought it was like an interesting take on that whole You know just master something thing. Right.

Maybe there is an aspect of it where you want to keep a little bit in the back of your mind just to be like, wait a minute. Right. Like, how can I make the, is this going to be profitable? Like, how much time can I invest in this and will it be worth it? I didn't realize he played as much pool as he did. I mean, I know he always talks about it, but I didn't realize he was like, I'd bring a pool stick to my gigs and wherever I went, eight hours a day, and this, that, the other I was like, Jesus, I kind of found it interesting, too. I didn't realize pool whenever your betting was like, you kind of just waited out until the guy

gives up. Did you hear that all like analogy? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, those guys are crazy. That's like pool. That must be a wild scene. I've never even seen that you just got a bunch of like cooked out dudes on Adderall and shit like just so I mean it sounds kind of interesting atmosphere, but It's cool watching people. Yeah, I don't know how much Adderall you want. I'm just playing pool or primakey shaky Yeah, who knows I think her room was like the driver on the impressive right talking about masters. Let's move on to Tony Hinchcliffe the master of comedy and roasting the shit out of people Tony I'm a big fan of Tony like he's great. I've seen him live lots of times and Really pumped that he's made the move to Austin as well. I mean also just goes to show you know that People are not sticking around the hardest part for me in this podcast was,

it was almost difficult to listen to the stand-up bits because of how much it just makes me miss watching stand-up and then also performing in open mics and being able to go to it. It's sad, I know it's not dead forever. And obviously Joe has been alluding, but clearly he's opening a big club down there that's gonna be awesome. I do so.

So we'll be back. But it's like, how long do we have to miss it for? And I don't know, it's just, it's kind of like better sweet listening to all these good stories, but knowing that they're not existing right now. And it's not like the thing that I haven't like really accepted and I don't know if I have to or it seems that way but it's like it's not coming back here either. That's what it feels like. It's like no matter the weather, the location, like I don't know. I mean is it fair to say that and like you were we talked about before in five

years maybe we come back and it's perjuvenated it's a different place again, but do we just have to I think so I think it's gonna take that long There's this gonna be a five-year role of fucking nonsense for and then we're just gonna like hopefully write it out That just seemed like a long time to ride something out Well, but I mean who knows in that amount of time maybe Different things have happened and and that's not the focus You know true like in my mind. I think that I'm like, yeah, I would love to do that Like go back when things are more stable right and enjoy it again, but who knows maybe in that time I have different priorities. I mean all I can do now is just focus on those things

I mean Tony was talking about how they close golf. Yeah, that it seems like the fucking stupidest thing I ever heard ass and I Ass and I like who are we trying to? Yeah, I mean, I don't know it It makes me sick What Joe had 300 people at his show we should pal and they tested everyone with the rapid test so you you testing everyone and you know you get the results back and then you put the show on. You can't do that with golf. How many people go through a golf course in a day? I don't know if I can.

Isn't it like groups of like four or five at a time? Four max, four fits in the cart, four is the max on a tee. And like Tony said said you're not ever within 12 fucking feet of somebody I mean unless you're riding on the cart and I in ideally or yeah, but you could put a mask on that's like an ubo to the windows down there's no I mean they're like Where are we I can't remember where we were but over the loudspeaker It's like do not surround yourself with anybody else from your house unless they're from your household It's like how do you know the person your household then go to the fucking store and get, unless they're from your household. It's like, how do you know the person in your household didn't go to the fucking store and get COVID, bring it back to your household.

And I, you all forgot COVID. Like, where's the logic here? What are we talking about? I don't know. Wait, there was a loudspeaker. Yeah. Like, I can't remember where we were. We were at some food place or something on the way home from Mexico.

I can't remember where it was, but I Don't know if I mentioned this to you, but since I don't think we've had this this happened since but we're on an indefinite lockdown right now Did you know that? What it's not a it's not there's no time Lotted for it's just like whenever Newsom says I'm gonna let off at this point. They just made it indefinite Do you guys have a curfew too, right? I mean I've yes, I guess that's the thing Everything is seems so fucking great because I've heard also I've heard I've seen interviews and seen stuff on the new like on the Instagram post about cops being like we will not enforce this Bullshit kind of thing, but I think on that's on paper. Yeah, I believe there is a

curb, the 10 o'clock curfew, I believe, but I don't know, man. People are who are isn't the biggest shocker really? The fact that everyone still has to pay rent. Yeah, there's nothing. There's nothing that they set up to be like, oh, yeah, like you could, you could defer it for a while. But then the landlord just came right after you. I would like K here's a six grand. If you want to look at it from a bigger standpoint, though, I mean, my buddy owns property too. And if his tenants weren't paying the rent, it comes from the government at this point. It comes from the state government and the federal government.

If you want to keep people from working and paying their bills, then you need to subsidize that payment. Otherwise, you're putting people in a fucking predicament telling them they can't work. While you're getting paid the whole time to tell us that we can't work, that just the concept there is so so fucking archaic. There's no it just seems so dumb. I don't know how to describe it other than dumb. I just can't believe that it I don't know like I just don't know. I would love to know who's paying. I'm not putting it forward. I'm not putting it on the renters.

I don't want to say that they don't deserve the money because I mean not the renters, but the people that own the places because they have bills to pay too. And if they rely on that income and you can't be like they shouldn't get paid, I think if you're the people in charge of selling people that they can't work, you got to be the ones that subsidize that money period. There's no other way around it. At least let people live. Let people live.

Just have a house. Right. Well, that's another weird thing to be like. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, Tony used to talk about how much he loved the neighbor he lives in. Right. Like, he talked about that on other podcasts and he talked about on this one like he loved

the neighborhood he felt safe there it was a lot of fun other good comedians around I think he's in I think he was in Santa West Hollywood yeah West Hollywood Santa but yeah that's right and yeah now he said he doesn't feel safe. You can't do anything. You know, there's the curfew. There's no comedy. And they like, you know, the homeless situation is just getting, you know, really ugly. And the big thing that he said, which is something the resident of me is that feeling, he just didn't feel safe.

It didn't feel the same. Like the psychological impact on people was real. And either people were believing it or denying it. And he made the point that it's like people are kind of emotionally held to that place. Like they're the ones that are like, I'm not going anywhere. I mean look obviously not everyone can just up and leave like people have ties and they can't get away, but That feeling still got to be that right Yeah, it's uh I just keep like being like all right well

Eventually, it's gonna change back to normal. I mean, I'm the winter time here. It's kind of shit I don't want to say shitty anyway, but for California. It's like you just like embrace the summer and every other time other than like December January February, so I mean right now it's like if it had to pick a time I'd be okay with not working because I remember back at old jobs working here This is the slowest time of year anyhow So that's true trying to be optimistic. That's definitely a glimmering point. That said, it'd be a tough pill to swallow to get back to March and, March and April when it starts to get nice and then be like, all right, well, yeah, we're still in this lockdown.

It'd be like, bro, like this is going to be the straw that breaks the camel's back because I can't be fucking riding that out for, like, I can't be doing that for the summertime again. Yeah, I mean, it's summer's probably a good, a good, um, place to kind of figure out if, you know, because if you missed the summer, especially with the type of work that we did, I mean, that's most of your money to be it. 100% 100%. Yeah, it doesn't. I just don't see like even with a vaccine.

I don't, I don't think that that I think people are just so worried about this and The way that they've set up, you know the dining and everything. I mean, I just can't imagine it being that like you know Baza full again. It's still gonna be that kind of like half. You know, it's interesting You know, it's interesting that these places down on Washington over by the pier here, a few of them that, I mean, we were kind of the initial people that got on the ball and got our outside dining done. But you can see some of these places that are just now getting all this outside dining done. You can

tell that they invested quite a few dollars, like they probably thought it out. And now they have it and it's just sitting there. Like this nice ass outdoor canopies and stuff outside. And it's just like, it's just sitting there now. Like you could tell, two places in particular, I'm thinking of that, you could tell drop some hefty coin on some outdoor tents. They're not inexpensive.

And now they're just sitting there. And that's cost money and that's definitely cost jobs because something has to pay for that 100% one thing Tony said that there was really shocking to his like he said that he even feels like the Inspiration of the place is gone right, yeah, and You know he's around people that the do a lot of comedy a lot of stand up, you know That have really been they moved there for reason and they're really pushing to kind of develop their craft and their art and develop a name for themselves.

And when basically all of that stopped, apart from a few really smart people that have capitalized with like Instagram videos and YouTube and stuff, I mean, it's taken a lot of the life out of these people. Yeah. For sure. I mean, imagine how many comics of Quit, how many great comics we would have had in 10 years

after training and getting good that we'll never hear from because they just had to move on. I guess that's like anything, but to me that's something I think about. Yeah. I don't know if you got a chance to watch any of it was kind of sad too. I don't know if you've seen that comedy store documentary. If you haven't, I check it out. Oh, I have.

It's great. I just was I think I'm on like episode three. I don't know if I think there's four episodes, but I mean, that is just like, it's great. It's just really sad to see that that's like gone. Well, it's so sad because all the times for that to come out. And Joe even talked about it on the Mark Norman podcast. He was saying that, you know, if that thing had come out while the comedy store was still open, I mean,

it would sell out for a freaking year For ever. I mean people will be coming from everywhere and it and now it's like everyone watches it Yep, you learn about how amazing this place is and you can't go right doesn't exist Doesn't exist it's pretty fucking sad man, especially watching that it was like so much roots and all that stuff It's like I don't know, my hope Joe builds it all out there again. Like, why not? Why can't he? He made a good point.

I just don't know is it like here is this gonna be the acting thing now and then out there is that or is the acting gonna shift somewhere else too because even Sam was mentioning that his thing on seal team has already been postponed a week and depending on how things go, it could just be suspended for and I don't want to say indefinitely because that's not what he said but a couple more weeks

or who knows you never you can't put any context on anything now when you don't know especially with this indefinite it's like you're just gonna let me know when I can start doing stuff again and then I'll just clear it through you right Right. They're even gonna, like, if the thing about making TV shows and movies right now, especially movies, there's no fucking movie theaters open. I mean, like, they're never, they're never gonna open those things again, right? Surely they've all gone out of business.

Yeah, I would imagine, I mean, I would imagine. So, it seems like Netflix and all these platforms are gonna take over that industry anyway. It seemed that, it was, it seemed it was like that, in that direction anyhow, from my perspective, but I hear what you're saying. I liked what Joe was saying about. There's some LA sheriff that will not enforce the stay at home order.

That's what I was, that was what I was referencing when I said that I saw some stuff. Because yeah, I had seen that. He said to stay at home order and also the curfew deal exactly. Is that um I wonder where in LA that sheriff is but I like that. I mean people see they in some way they need to start pushing back you know and it's not a question of like let's make people unsafe. We're putting this just like let's get some fucking sanity. You're putting some cops in a serious fucking situation to tell people that they can't go outside They can't do things like cops already have such a bad rap as it is right now

To put that on top of all of it. I didn't really think about that until just now like dude There's a tough build a small if I'm a police officer. I've already got this fucking Black cloud hanging over my head as it is and then trying to go tell people what they can and can't do after they've been in their house for a fucking year. It's a tall order. Yeah, that's a tall order. I mean the the most heartbreaking thing from this podcast since again, it's like very comedy stand up centric. But you can almost put it in any sort of genre of especially art or anything else, I guess, that requires people coming together to work together and do something.

It's like, there's no open mics, anyway. And if new clubs open up and they decide, we got to be profitable because we're so broke We're not gonna have an open mic night No one's invest that because they don't make a lot of money that no one's investing in that new talent and All of that new talent is not practicing So you know you've got to think like the people that have been grinding for years Let's say they've got to like three years or four years. That's not enough to take two years off

No, those people have quit for sure all they go back and it's like they've never done it before. So then things open up what a year from now and then we get some new open micers. Shit, it's going to take them 10 years to get good. It's like we're going to miss a generation of comedians. I don't know if that's all going to happen because everything happens quicker, like exponentially as society moves forward, it seems like everything gets condensed as far as the progress goes. Progress happens quickly. I think that we can bounce back at some point. I just, this whole California thing, like I was saying earlier, the fact that we're so polarized

as being the state that's handled it, absolute worst. Definitely does not feel good. And the fact that they beat beat like he beats on that every single podcast and I'm like, I'm still in California. But I mean, like I say, it's, I mean, my situation is not like everybody else's and I'm not like super whatever, but I'm fortunate to have what I have at this point. That's how I look at it. And yeah, I'm on on an I'm just I'm on that I'm on unemployment. So it's not like I'm living it up yeah I'm on I'm just I'm on unemployment so it's not like I'm living it up I'm just saying as long as I stay within my means I'd life take

care of itself but you can just about cover your bills yeah yeah I mean I'm I'm I'm super happy that that I made that move and I've been fortunate things have worked out I've got a nice place that I logged into even though it's like almost impossible to find anywhere to live in Boseman because it seems like everyone's moving here. But the fact that you know a school that I would have loved to have gone to even Santa Monica's just come here. Yeah, I mean yeah it's it's very fortunate but it also highlights the fact that you know I meet people often here that are moving, that have moved from all over the place. A lot of times, big cities, and they just tie it up there. They're like, no more. Portland and Washington especially.

I don't know too much about what's going on out there. Too many crazy things about Portland, but people are coming here from that fast. Your own, huh? Interesting. That's what's interesting is you don't know. I mean, I got to explore my options and think about that stuff. I mean, I don't know when to start evaluating that. I think that mentioning as far as we'll see where we're at at at the summertime, because that's the time to be in California. It's the best time, best place to be that I could ever imagine,

but we'll have to reevaluate. Well maybe in the spring, you know, you just do some traveling, figure it out. I mean, I mean, you always welcome to check out this place. I've done, I was thinking about all the places that I've been since COVID. I've traveled so much since COVID. It's crazy. I'm supposed to go to Puerto Rico on the 20th as well, but I don't know what they're in.

Nice. They're imposing something, that's the thing about the quarantine. And then Sam was like, you gotta see, my girl, I mentioned you gotta get a COVID test, but then you start thinking if the COVID test is 150 bucks and then you're already 300 bucks in for you and her. I don't know, it's just stuff to think about. But yeah, yeah. Well, you

know, I mean, that's the way to do it. See that or just stick it out and see what happens. But anyway, let's call it a wrap on it. Did you have anything you wanted to add from the Magnum one? It was similar in a lot of ways to the Tony one, so I didn't really want to go over a lot of stand up talk. That guy's great though, he's very fun. I second that a lot of cancel culture. Yeah, same idea. Yeah, that's pretty witty. Alright guys, well thanks a lot as always for listening and you know if you're sick and tired of the COVID talk, I get it because you got to live it, but we're just trying to give a voice to it and discuss it, which is what Joe is doing a lot to.

I mean, it's the only way we're going to work through the craziness, but if you can reach out to us if you listen from wherever you are in the country, you know, write us an email. Joe Rogan ExperienceReview at gmail.com. Tell us about what it's like where you're at. Like, if it's open, if it's closed, what cool cities there are, maybe we'll find somewhere for Garrett to live. Yeah, I would love to hear that. All right, guys, thank you, Garrett, as always, and have a great week folks. Thank you very much. Peace out. Peace out.
