Thanks for the F Shack.
I love dirty Mike and the boys.
Hey, are you dirty Mike and the boys?
How you know who we are?
What's this?
They called the podcast?
Morning.
I love that.
Yeah, by way, shout out to Tim's great stuff.
Welcome to morning.
Well, I see on your Instagram, it says Meadow Scars.
So I always, we're here with Metto Fernandez.
Fernandez, yeah, yeah.
And Jeff Greenspan.
Jeff Greenspan.
Yeah, yeah.
that's better than...
Yeah, you do the thing.
It's fine.
That's better than,
like,
I've had,
I've called people
completely wrong.
I've said,
like, Matt,
when people come on.
You get there at first
name wrong on a podcast.
Professional.
Yeah, yeah.
Well,
I've dropped so much money
on all of this,
and then just none of the,
I don't have segments.
Maybe you should hire a host.
Yeah.
Dude,
that would be sick somebody
to just keep it on track
and then I just kind of like
fuck around the whole time.
That seems like a good way to do it
because,
yeah,
I'll,
like,
I haven't figured out
any way to do it
because I'll read like a news article,
but then all these are backlogged as shit.
Like, this is going to come out.
I'm going to be dead by the time this one comes out.
Like, it's...
I hope to be, too.
You're the Jamie of your own podcast.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, look that up.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Dude, I just watch, like, Vice documentaries
about, like, random shit.
And I'm like, all right, I guess this is something to talk about this week.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I've been doing so many back to back that it's like...
Is this the pod?
Are we in it now?
Yeah, we're already in it?
Oh, we're already in it.
Oh, we're in it.
Oh, yeah.
I had no idea.
You're like, this sucks so hard.
I didn't think it was an actual thing.
People, why are you watching this?
Yeah.
No, thank you for watching.
I'm kidding.
I'm kidding. Thank you.
No, hey, I have the same thoughts.
There's a lot of shit on the internet.
The fact of people listen to this means the world.
But also, I never look at my analytics.
They might, like, just click on it.
They'd be like, what the fuck is this?
And I'm like, oh, it counts as a view on YouTube.
No, you got to look at your bounce rate.
What is that?
People who leave in fewer than 60 seconds.
See, that would just tear my heart.
Don't see that.
Don't see that.
That sounds awful. It might be 60 seconds. It might be 30 seconds.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What's your bounce rate on dating? Oh, 100%. 60 seconds. Have you ever left within 60 seconds on a date?
Have I left? Yeah. One of the first times I ever tried to hook up with a guy, I went, it was before, I don't need this. It was before the internet.
Yeah, me neither. And so I was talking to him on a phone line, and I was living in Queens. I went all the way into the Upper East Side to meet this guy. And I get into his,
apartment and he's like, hey, can you
can you just lift up your shirt?
And I lifted it up and he goes,
yeah, I'm good.
That's fucking nuts.
That's brutal.
And I think I went home.
I think I went home and cried.
Yeah, that's cryworthy.
And then the next day I joined the gym.
And I just went to the gym all the time.
Have you been like flourishing since, you think?
I've been still calling him.
You still won't let me.
I'm kidding.
Every week you show progress in your abs.
You're like, look where I'm at now, bitch.
I got it to really good shape at one point.
And then, you know, now I'm too old.
to the hair. Well, that's the part
it's like, I don't give a fuck about my appearance.
Like, whenever I go, whenever I get fat...
We know. We know.
Yeah.
We're aware.
Dude, whenever I go back home, like, people be like,
you're looking fat.
I'm like, yeah, I know.
But you got a lady, right?
I'm guessing.
Yes, but she's starting to complain now.
And that's the hard part.
She's like, just lift weights here and there.
Because I just run and eat garbage like my...
But I must be running incorrectly because my arms are getting thinner.
My stomach is staying the same size.
You're running incorrectly?
Yeah, probably.
You look like...
You look like you have like a hole in your sock.
at all times.
I do have a hole.
Are you saying that because I literally have a hole?
I did not see that.
You're just a shovel.
Yeah, you're just disheveled a lot.
The sock is more old.
You didn't see that?
No, no, I didn't see that.
That's fucking nuts.
Every single one of my socks has a hole in it.
Show the people.
Do both of them?
Do both of them all over there?
No, no.
Michael, when did you get that sock?
Way too long ago.
I haven't bought socks in years.
You know, they're not expensive.
I know, but it's like I have so much
on my brain that it's not like
productive stuff.
but I'm like, I just got so much of my mind.
It's like, I...
The pre-pro for this show was not part of what was starting to mind.
Well, what I think they do is like, dude, I won't even like remember to close the refrigerator.
And my girlfriend tells me every single day to close the refrigerator.
How are you...
How are you...
How are you not single and I'm saying...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I worry about everything.
I think it has to be somewhere in between.
Well, you're doing...
You seem to be flourishing relationships.
I also don't know, like, do gay men...
Because, like, straight women sometimes respect a guy who doesn't care a lot.
Yeah, because you're a project.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you got to, you got to, like,
I went in there, I was like, he's definitely have a girlfriend,
because I was in there and I had to use the TP.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that's as soft as TP I've ever felt.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
like, it's so good, it's, like, the first time I've wiped more than I should have,
you know what I mean, like, that's, just to get that's just, you're in
just, it's so nice, yeah, yeah, yeah, like that, like, I have, like the Scott one dollar
bullshit, yeah, I got, I think it's worth of the investment.
My ass, my ass, my ass was, like, fucked up from, like, I shouldn't
public too much.
Ah.
And then you use that like...
Wait, what?
Not in public restrooms.
I'm like outside.
Yeah, I was just like, dude.
You guys don't use wet wipes on your butt, like butt wipes?
Not regularly.
No.
If there is...
Definitely not.
You guys do not have the anal hygiene of gay men.
No, definitely not.
No, but I'm not prepared for that.
No.
You can eat off my ass.
Yeah, yeah.
No.
You think so?
It's pretty clean.
Is it...
Wow.
Do you use a boudet?
No.
I live in America.
Have I'm a bidet?
A bade.
Well, a lot.
A lot of people do that out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You can put them on your,
on your toilet soup.
Yeah.
No.
I do not use it with that.
Can you eat out of view?
I mean,
I guess then we had some.
Yeah.
No,
you can eat off my ass.
But I was like,
I guess that makes sense.
Like,
you should be ready for that at all times.
Yeah.
I got a,
I got a complaint about that one time
because I was having sex where like,
I was trying to mouth fuck somebody that was their head was like that on the bed.
And they're like,
your asshole was right in my face and it was disgusting.
Oh my God.
And I was like,
that's a fair complaint.
I met this one girl in the pandemic, dude.
It was insane.
All she wanted to do was, like, eat ass.
Yeah, I've had that happen to.
And I'll hear your story.
But it was extremely odd.
We met, first of all, it was a really interesting meeting her
because she was like, she was like,
I even feel scared saying this on, like, a podcast.
She was like, oh, I used to be married to, like, a prince.
And.
What?
Yeah, she told me she was, like, super rich.
He probably gets his ass eating all the time.
That's, like, one of the person being a prince, yeah.
Yeah, but she wasn't doing it good enough for something.
But, like, but yeah, so she, like,
But she got fired from being...
So she was a prince.
She was a queen then.
Her princess.
She was married.
Oh, she was married?
Oh, she was married?
I have no idea.
But she was just like, well, my ex was a prince.
And just to be like, he's kind of crazy.
So he might...
Somebody might be following us right now.
Yeah.
I was just like...
And I was like, this is kind of hot.
Yeah.
Like, there's like a good way to go out.
So...
But yeah, and it was the weirdest thing.
I'm not into that.
And I didn't know that was her thing until we, like, like, that's all she wanted to do.
And like, dude, she was going down on my ass and like 20 minutes in.
I'm like you said, like I don't, I don't tame down there.
And like, 20 minutes in, I was like, do you want me to shower?
She's like, please go.
It took 20 minutes?
It took 20 minutes.
So I'm just like, okay, yeah, I could have done.
Why didn't you say something?
That's like eating a meal for the whole time.
I didn't like.
But what a trooper that she's, that's some like, oh, I dated a prince and had to put up with
this shit before.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, but that.
I had it, I was single this one girl, I think I was in high school.
And my buddy had like an abandoned.
This is the first time I got my ass eating.
It was like an abandoned house.
And, uh,
He was like, his parents, his parents had got, like, divorced.
So they were like, one house was empty and, like, one of them moved out or whatever was going on.
And I remember she was, like, going down and look at my balls.
And she kept going a little further.
And then I was like, is there, ah, no, never mind.
She was like, were you going to ask, can I eat your ass?
I'll go, yeah, she goes, I've always wanted to do that.
And I was like, oh, of course, yeah.
But it was like after a sweaty night, I was like 18.
And then my buddy came in.
And I think he caught me at some point, getting my ass eaten.
and then...
Wait, he just walked in the room?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, we were like,
drunk 18-year-olds.
Everybody's just kind of like,
what's going on in there?
And I think he said, like,
he was like, oh, dude, can I fuck her?
And they were like, we...
He's like, we're gonna do a swap.
Like, do you guys want to, like, switch?
And they were like, yeah, sure.
And then, like, the other girl was like,
oh, yeah, I don't want to fuck you.
And, yeah.
And so, like, he just got the other girl
that I was fucking.
But after she ate my asshole.
Ooh.
But it was a weird.
So he went to ass and out.
It was a weird.
He just assumed it was a trade, and he's like,
were we cool with this?
Everybody's like, yeah, sure, I guess we'll switch off.
And then the girl was just like, yeah, no, I don't want to have sex with you.
She's like, sex with him wasn't good either.
So I don't think I'm going to leave.
When you're 18, how old.
18-year-old sex, rough.
A lot of nerves.
Yeah, yeah.
Actually, I feel like you guys are doing a lot more ass play than I am, and I'm gay.
Very little ass play.
Well, it's been opened up.
It's like now it's like respected in the straight community.
It wasn't for a while.
I was talking with someone about one of the first ads I ever.
wrote and it was for Cheerios.
And I had to do an...
This is an awesome transition, by the...
It connects.
It was an ad for all five flavors of Cheerios.
Cheerios comes in five flavors.
And the visual for the ad was all five boxes
of the Cheerios.
And I had to write some headline
to connect all these.
This was in the year of 2001.
And so the line that I wrote was,
only the holes taste the same.
And everybody loved it.
That's a great line, yeah.
And we got into this...
You know, we presented it to General Mills
and everyone was thrilled and everyone was so excited.
And then, you know, towards the end of the call,
this guy from General Mills is like,
I hate to be a wet blanket,
but a lot of our research shows
that it's really not about taste.
It's about flavor.
So maybe the line should be
only the holes have the same flavor.
I'm like, let's just not really very good line
and people don't talk that way.
And I was young, so I didn't really know
how to defend an idea very well yet.
And he's like, well, it's pretty close, right?
I go, yeah, it's close.
It's like, well, if it's close, then it doesn't matter.
I go, well, if it's close,
why don't we just do it the way people talk
and not, you know, it's funny,
nobody had a problem with the holes.
Yeah, yeah.
It was the taste of...
The thing is,
there was no high speed internet back then,
and people weren't eating ass all the time,
so we hadn't sexualized wheat holes yet.
Oh, so they hadn't even thought...
That's crazy.
None of that was even part of.
Holes were wholesome.
Back in 2001.
You know, there was...
Wholesome holes.
That's a great.
But, like, to think back,
like, I was telling this to a friend,
he's like, so nobody had a problem
with the holes.
Yeah, yeah, it was a taste or flavor.
I'm like, yeah, yeah,
that was the semantic problem
that we had with it.
And now, like,
When I tell people that story, they're like, oh, you can never get that.
Yeah, it's insane.
But we would never even think of that as a sexualized line back then.
Nobody on the call did.
Nobody at the ad agency did.
Nobody at General Mills did.
Nobody.
Did they know, were you openly gay at the time?
I'm not even now.
No, I wasn't, I was not openly gay.
But I didn't think it was sexual.
Because I can't, oh, you didn't even think of it.
No, that was, there was nothing.
I mean, maybe, also you have to remember, you're seeing the boxes.
So when you see holes, it's being contextualized.
You didn't plan that in.
You're like, this is hilarious that I'm going to pull this off.
No, there was nothing.
There was, I didn't think it was a pussy hole or an asshole.
Oh, that would have been a cool, like, gay agenda thing.
I was like, I'm going to sneak it.
I'm going to sneak this into society.
Yeah, it's like a Q&I guy.
Look what they're teaching the kids.
Every hole tastes the same.
I mean, nowadays you could probably get an ad that just says only the, you know,
the well-manacred holes taste the same.
Nobody would give a fuck.
Well, there's like an Uber each one with that.
Only the rings taste different.
There's like an Uber, each one like that.
There's one of the gay guys from Queer Eye.
He's like, there's some Uber Eats commercial, but it's like clearly like a joke about like getting your ass eaten or something like that.
But Uber Eats is like.
What's the line?
I forgot what it is.
I got to see it's something about like something about getting eaten or something like that.
But it's like eating this while getting eaten or something like that.
I mean, I'm not a, I don't eat a lot of ass.
I don't get my ass.
Am I missing a lot?
Is this a great thing?
I think it's good. Yeah, I don't know.
Doing it or getting it done?
I don't have a couple of experiences and that's it.
You look down when.
It looks really
She's got a less to do something
When I was looking over that girl
She was like I wasn't into it
And I'd be like hey could we do
She was like no I like this
I was just like
That's hilarious too
She's like no this is what we're doing
Yeah I was just like
Yeah yeah yeah yeah it was just weird
And I wasn't I wasn't proud of it
But it is interesting too hearing it
In certain things like I was listening to
Slav of my knob by 3-6 Mafia
And they have a line where he's like
Lick on my butt
Which is so funny to like
For like a hood black guy to say that
You wouldn't expect
That was like the 2000s
But so I'm surprised that like
That was like accepted there
Because when I was even like a teenager
in like suburban America
that people were like
Like one of my friends ate ass
And I was like dude that's so gross
And then I pulled him the side
I was like it's pretty cool man
Like I remember telling him I was like
I don't have the career
I was like how do even ask people that
Like I didn't know you could ask people
To do that
Because I thought like
I don't know you just think that
Like especially when you're younger
You think everybody's just very straightforward with sex
You don't realize that everybody's weird
And stuff like that so
Yeah people get weird man
Like my buddy he just like likes
He loves eating ass A
But he'll like also like
It's weird to say out loud
But he's told me that he's like
It's like yeah
I'll let like a girl like fart
And like
I'm into it
See I get that
I'll say this
I'll open up about this
On video I kind of get it
But in person it's disgusting
Interesting
You like watching fart
Yeah yeah yeah
How do you watch a fart
Okay you're on that level
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm fucking weird
But how do you watch a fart
I mean they can just throw that sound
in in and post right
You don't know
You can tell
I've seen videos
I go you motherfucker
You can see the fart
Yeah you can see like the ass
opening.
But it's like,
you can tell that sound too
because it's like a,
like it sounded like a guy
behind a camera going
and throws you a little wink.
Because I think it's like
when you see a really hot girl
farting, you're like,
oh,
she's not supposed to do this.
There's like a foreign idea
to do that.
But in person,
the idea of farting
grosses me out.
That makes any sense.
Yeah,
makes a lot of sense.
Yeah.
How many of your podcast episodes
deal exclusively
with eating ass and farting?
A lot.
I mean, we literally,
people with Down syndrome
pedophiles were like not,
we had to like almost make a rule
We can't talk about this every single week.
Wait, pedophiles are a big subject, too?
Yes.
Well, it's a slippery slope.
Once you start normalizing, farting and eating ass, I mean, where are you going to get?
Yeah, there's a, what do they call?
No, it's not pedophiles, it's maps, right?
Maps?
That's like a thing people were trying to push.
It's like male, no, it's like minor attractive persons, people that are attracted to minors.
Oh, you mean like Nambla?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
National American Man Boy Love Association.
Yes.
What the fuck?
That's real?
Yeah.
That's insane.
I would have one of them as a guest
Let's burn it to the ground
You shouldn't have them on as a guest
Well it would be bad for publicity
I'm just curious
Because I'm not gonna let them fuck kids in my apartment
That's how it starts
I'm curious
No people say this
But I've been to the Church of Scientology
I can I'm not very easily persuasible
Like I think it's like everybody's like
Oh you start doing this
You start going to the church of Scientology
I'm like no I'm pretty fine
Did you go to the pancake breakfast?
No what is this?
I think they have a pancake Sunday
Yeah
In LA
in L.A. I don't know if they do it here.
That would be sick. I would love to just get free food there and start doing it. Leave your
checkbook at home. Is persuasible a word?
Persuadable, I think.
Okay. Perusuasable is not. I knew it right when I fucking said it. I was like, that's not a
fucking word. I was like, I should say it differently. All right. So it's not a word.
So you're going on the record saying you cannot be persuaded into pedophilia.
Yes. That's fantastic.
Wow, what a brave man.
I'm not like the other podcasters. It takes a lot to trick me.
I had somebody today on one of the apps who wanted to hook up,
and he's like, well, you know, my younger brother might be in the apartment.
And I was like, well, how old is your younger brother?
He's like 14.
And I'm like, he's in the apartment.
He's like, it's a studio.
He's in the corner.
I'm like, it's New York apartment.
How possible.
He's not like in the West Wing.
He's good.
So I was like, yeah, I don't think this is a good idea at all.
Yeah, that's wild.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't, I never got people that were like, like, I can't imagine being single and
hooking up with like a woman who has like a kid.
Like, that stuff's all weird to me.
It's like a kid that's at the house.
Because some people have that relationship.
They're like, oh, my God.
I think you always see those stories where guys were like, oh, yeah, I went over to her house.
And she was like, oh, yeah, you could fuck me.
My kids used to, like, guys coming in and out of here.
It's like, that's weird.
What's crazy is once I hooked up with this lady, you know, had a kid.
And she took me, I didn't know until I got there.
She took me to her, she's divorced, but her mother-in-law's apartment.
That's weird.
That's fucking insane.
And then I got there, and her kid was, like, sleeping on.
the couch and we're in like the mother-in-law's place.
And it was insane.
She like took me to her roof to like mess around.
So as her husband's mother's...
But this is what's crazy.
Yeah, her husband, her ex-husband's mother's place.
And so, yeah, it's the ex.
But this is what's wild.
Like I, like, I slept there and she's like, we ended up early.
She was going to come back.
I was like, oh my God.
I thought she was like gone, gone.
Yeah.
She's coming back.
Like, I don't know what time in the morning.
I was like, holy shit.
Still married?
No, she's, no, they're divorced.
But then, okay.
This whole thing is insane.
Because to be, to be sleeping.
sleeping with your...
sleeping in the same house.
They still had a good relationship,
you know what I mean?
Yeah, but that's just...
But to invite...
Exactly.
I was like, this is crazy.
Like, this is...
And again, kind of hot.
And then...
And then, but, like, in the morning,
she was like, let's go get breakfast.
I just got to...
I got to walk my daughter
to, you know, my husband's place.
Yeah.
I was like, okay, this is crazy.
And I'm, like, walking through
fucking Central Park with this, like,
little girl.
I'm just like, this is so weird.
Dude, if you get, like,
just men don't have, like, a secret family or something?
But this is, but this is,
is the crazy part. We drop her off.
We go to the diner. 10 minutes
later, the husband walks in with the daughter
and just starts walking
towards us. And she's like, put your head down, put your
head down. I was just like, and luckily the...
Wait, wait, wait, wait, the husband walked her daughter where?
With the daughter, to the diner. Like, the husband
just, like, she dropped her off. It just happened to go to the same restaurant.
And it just happened to go to the same diner.
That's fucking nice. And luckily, like,
unless this is their king... Yeah, seriously.
I thought... Elaborate.
And this dude looked jacks. I was like afraid.
I was like, oh my gosh. This is going to get at me and stuff.
But it ended up being.
totally fine.
But what a crazy thing to do?
Like, take a, like, he didn't, nothing happening.
The kid didn't see us.
And the guy was just a G.
He's like, don't worry about it.
Like, kind of just like, kept walking.
You know, she's like, but weird.
Weird to, like, bring me to you.
The level comfortability is crazy.
I've heard people say that in like a cuck situation.
Comfortability.
Is that all?
Is that a one?
Comfortability is weird.
Oh, it is.
But persuadibility.
But that's always weird.
Like, yeah, whereas those things where people are like, oh, yeah.
I guess the cuck thing makes sense.
But then.
like, I don't know.
I don't know.
But it's like, it's like post-quital cucking.
It's like, yeah, yeah, because it's like, I'm not fucking them.
They're not my husband anymore.
And you're not even watching.
You're just watching the after fuck breakfast.
Yeah.
Oh, I bet they're having good conversations over there.
It's like a brunch cuck.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was nervous.
I was so nervous.
Yeah, I think like if I was single, like the idea of hooking up with anybody who's in a relationship
or has an ex, that's just sounds terrifying.
Axis always scare me because you don't know what degree to like,
okay, is he over her or did she end it?
Like, what the fuck happened?
You don't know how crazy or jealous this dude can be.
For sure, yeah.
Never want to see the ex.
It's also crazy, too.
Some people you meet him and then you hear stories afterwards.
Like, I had a friend who, like, had this girlfriend who, like,
dude, they, like, broke up and he, like, went to her house and, like, smashed her shit with, like, he lived his parents still.
And, uh, yeah.
Yeah, he was a, I love the guy.
He had a tantrum.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, no, no, he's girl.
So he lived in his parents' house.
Yeah.
That's a temperate.
His girlfriend, dude, his ex-girlfriend came by with a baseball bat
and broke his parents' TV and, like, all this shit.
And you're like...
And you made the person.
He was like, she seemed normal.
And then you're like...
And he's doing a lot of this.
E!
But he refuses to move the dragon.
They hear you.
Not listening, but goes out.
But that stuff's terrifying because, like, some people like...
Yeah, I don't know.
Have you, have you banged married men?
Oh, yeah.
A lot.
I feel like they do that a lot.
A lot.
Yeah.
Is it,
uh,
yeah,
that's got to be weird.
Do any of them say that they're still straight?
And they're like,
oh,
this is just a,
uh,
oh,
yeah.
Yeah.
I mean,
how straight are you if you're with a dude?
I mean,
some of them,
some of them I become friends with
and then later on,
two of them were like,
I think I'm just a sex addict.
Yeah,
and it's just very available sex.
Like men are very ready to have sex.
Yeah.
Well,
because I always said this like you fuck your hand,
and that's a dude's hand.
So in some level,
it's,
yeah.
Oh,
sounds like you're about to,
It sounds like you're not very easy.
It's not like you're about to make that bridge.
I think it's persuasible.
I love ass.
I love eating it.
I love getting it in.
I'm basically just fucking a decent.
I mean, I'm pretty much gay.
Can I still be straight?
I can call myself straight, right?
Call you somebody if you want, dude.
Well, it's like, would you say call prison gay gay?
Yeah.
The person who's initiating, I think.
Yeah, see.
Or is it just horniness?
I think it's just a primal urge
and it's not going to be satisfied with it.
But I guess it's different.
You're not in prison because you're like,
there are women that you could fuck,
like you could fuck prostitute.
You know what I mean?
It's like,
I mean,
I have bits about how to do you just get a,
you have a straight dudes I hooked up with pandemic time
because girls just wouldn't do it.
I think there's guys who are like on the fence and in a world where they can get women,
they just wouldn't.
But if there weren't women,
they would.
Yeah,
because there's always that like you were stranded on an island.
Like I think I would probably,
if I was strained on an island for the rest of my life,
I think I'd probably try fucking a dude once.
Do you want to play a game with me where we pretend we're on an island?
I'll watch.
I'll watch.
He'll just eat brunch.
Watch us.
That's the other thing I'm like, so, Benno, you're on an island.
Well, so I was saying, like, the prison thing is, like, like, I think the guy who just has more the urge to fuck.
But the dude's okay with getting fucked in the ass, then he's kind of gay.
Yes, because he's not.
But I don't know, because that you, there's a jeep by there.
I don't get horny.
And, like, when I get horny, I think, like, oh, yeah, I want to kind of put my dick in something.
I don't think.
I want to get fucking ass.
I want to dick in my ass right now, you know?
Yeah, you know, that's not how I don't really, like, that's not how I don't.
think, you know?
So, like, to be in prison and to be like, you can fuck me in the ass, I think, like, oh,
there was always that kind of there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, but usually it's rape, I'm guessing.
Usually, I would guess, yeah, yeah.
I mean, if I were on an island and it was just a woman, I wouldn't want to do all
the talking after sex.
That's the biggest version.
What are the, what's the most common role playing gay point?
That's what I'm curious, but is the same kind of thing where it's like the male man,
like what do you want to be gay?
I don't want to understand what's going on.
I have questions.
I'm curious.
What's your question?
I'll do.
That book,
that book right there says,
I wish I was gay.
It's not gay if you read it in a book.
Weird book.
Well,
I always wonder,
like,
is it,
is the porn the same thing
where it's like the same,
like,
I don't watch a lot of porn.
I don't think a lot of,
I mean,
I'll watch one porn,
and then I'll go on Grindr
and get someone to do what I see at the porn.
Yeah, that's a good point,
yeah.
Like, I make porn rather than like,
gay porn's kind of for closeted straight guys,
it seems like.
That seems like with the demographic
is dudes that are,
Well, the thing about the majority of gay porn,
or maybe the gay porn that does come through with my algorithm,
it's always a guy being court.
There's always some plausible deniability while you're doing this.
You owe rent.
Or, like, you are, it's some reason why you, it's a frat pledge.
It's something where you don't want to do it,
but you've been coerced into doing it.
Street porn is a lot like that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's always a stealing one where it's like you stole from the mall
and then you have to blow the security guy.
There's a whole pawn shop thing where someone got caught.
Someone paused a thing and they really need the money.
like, well, there's a way in the back.
We have this thing you could do.
So much of it.
But the stuff I like is the fraternity stuff.
The fraternity is younger.
Is there gay porn that has...
He said younger.
He's called a pedophile.
Yeah, you're a pedophile.
Preschool frat stuff.
Barely legal.
Is there gay porn where someone gets
caught in the laundry thing?
Yeah, stuck for it being in the stray community.
Yeah.
Caught in the laundry?
Like caught underneath the table or caught like
emptying out a dryer or some shit?
That's what happens in straight porn a lot.
I've noticed.
Laundry?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The stepmom's doing the laundry
and then she gets stuck in the laundry thing.
Which is a giant hole.
I don't know how you get stuck in the laundry?
Yeah.
And then she's like, I'm stuck.
And then the guy comes like,
oh, help you with my dick.
This isn't even a,
based on any kind of reality.
No, it's actually based not even in physics.
It's like not even in it.
I think it's good, clean fun.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I like how, I like how women are being
still stuck to the same roles.
Yeah.
You know, like they're doing laundry,
dishes.
They're being, you know,
subversion, you know, being subjected to this.
Yeah, well, there's a, and there's a sink one, too, where they're cleaning out the sink and they get there.
That actually makes more sense to get your hand stuck in a sink.
Really?
Yeah, it could happen.
Do you know anybody who's gotten their hand stuck in the sink?
No.
Yeah, I mean either.
And how does it, Dick help that?
No, that doesn't make sense.
Well, that part never makes sense.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, Dick never fixes any of the problems that they're supposed to fix.
Yeah, it's like, anyone who gets stuck, that's it, you know, stuck on a date that dick pops out.
but anyway.
Straight porn is weird like that.
But I guess because a lot of, who said this line?
Everything's about sex except sex.
Sex is about power.
Oh, that was Lex Luthor?
I don't know.
But I guess it's about power.
It's a power thing.
Yeah, yeah.
So I guess that's why so many of the narratives are about,
I don't want to do this, but I have to do it because I have to appease you in some way.
Interesting.
Yeah.
But when did you come out?
34.
34.
Yeah.
To my parents
29.
Because you were gay
like in the 80s
in New York City,
which had to be crazy.
Because in my mind,
I have glimpses of things
and I just picture them
just like a movie.
How old are you?
I'm 26.
All right.
So you're in a similar trajectory.
All right, cool.
By the way,
it's not even just you on this podcast.
The topic of gay
is like every three episodes
on this podcast.
I have my suspicions why.
I have my suspicions why.
I didn't have
I didn't have full on sex
with a guy till I was 34
Okay so you missed like the
I didn't have sex in the 80s with men
Okay but that must have been terrifying right
Because that's when AIDS was big
Yeah it was huge
It was like rocking up the charts
Yeah yeah yeah it was a big yeah
I heard somebody say that like the
Bigger than Wham
The coolest gay guys died in the 80s
Because those are the ones that had the most gay sex
AIDS was like a good band
Yeah
It was better than
And then there was that like, you know, that spin-off ban HIV, which never really hit as high.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it wasn't quite the same.
Well, that was like, the funny things, people said, like, I watched some documentary about these guys called gravers.
And they're ravers that are, like, old as shit.
So they're ravers that are, like, in their 60s.
And they used to have, they're like, you always hear that ecstasy used to be better back in the day.
It was.
They have a theory about this.
So it's definitely used to be more pure back in the day.
Because, like, now it's contaminated with stuff.
But it's like, they said a lot of what happens, though, is people do so much ecstasy.
that their brain doesn't release the same chemicals.
And they said, maybe not in the United States.
In the United States, that might be true.
But in the UK, they say ecstasy is actually getting stronger.
But people's brains are just like,
the guy who's been doing ecstasy since the 80s
is like, oh, this shit sucks now,
but it's because he has no serotonin.
He's got no dopamine left in there.
You're supposed to wait a good amount of time between doing...
I think it's like six months or something like that.
Yeah, yeah.
I was doing it like once a month.
That's a lot.
It was a lot.
But I know people have done worse.
And, like, there was a guy in my high school
who was, like, crying in the bathroom.
He was like a cool popular kid, but he did so much Molly.
You're just crying in the bathroom.
No, it affected my job.
Is it serotonin or dopamine?
I don't know.
Serotonin is what gets released.
Yeah, yeah.
So it's like cocaine works more on dopamine.
Okay.
And MDMA works more on serotonin.
Cocaine's worse for your heart, but you have less serotonin that you have dopamine.
So you can't do MDMA as much as you could do cocaine.
So like if you did it once time, cocaine would be way worse for you than MDMA.
But if you did it weekly, MDMA would be terrible for you.
First time I did Molly, I did three hits on a,
private beach in Hawaii.
As it was turning the year 2000.
We thought Y2K was going to the world.
And so my friend's like, let's just go to Hawaii and watch it, watch the world slip
into oblivion time zone by time zone.
I'm like, I'm not for that.
Yeah, dude, if you thought the world was ending, there's something freeing about that,
just feeling like everything's like, I felt a little bit like that during COVID.
I feel like that now was going on with Russia.
That's how you feel I'm like, fuck this shit.
We're about to get, we're about to get nuked.
That's what I felt at first. And now it's just like,
that's dragging on. I'm like, I have no concerns.
Oh, dude, it's getting scary. The fact that Russia's losing, I
feel like this is not good.
Like if Russia loses, Putin's
be like, oh, fuck you guys.
And I was like, poop.
And we're all dead.
That's how I feel.
There's another superbell.
I think we're winning, though.
Yeah, but I also think there's a lot of people
probably with him.
I want to get back to the X and C in Hawaii
because it sounds fucking sick.
Yeah, it's a lot better than war.
Yeah, but I think there's a lot of people.
Somebody probably said to me because I was always freaked out about it.
They're like, oh my God.
Because I felt the same way.
I was like, Putin's going to nuke everybody's going to die.
And they're like, yeah, but whoever's right
below Putin is going to be like not going to let it.
Like the guy next, like, there's enough people around him that want to live that would not let him do that.
Yeah, I hope so, man, because that's a weird.
It also seems like a very, like, we, I used to think of Russia of such a, like, oh, that's a strong country.
Like, don't fuck with Russia.
But, like, now, like, seeing how they're getting their ass handed to them a little bit, I'm just like, oh, it's, it's more volatile than I thought.
And, and it just makes it, it just, yeah, having their ass handed into them.
And it just makes it, it's like pushing it closer to, like, well, I do have these news.
If Russia just took it over Ukraine, you wouldn't be worried about World War.
You'd be like, eh, it's cool.
Yeah. It's like, yeah, you know.
The U.S. didn't get what they want for once, whatever.
But like, but like the...
But like, they're even talking about...
Dude, I go to sleep to, like, this YouTube channel called Infographics,
and this is where I get all my shirt.
Info Wars.
This is terrible for you, man.
No, it's fucking...
It's fucking...
I shout out to Infographics.
Because they fucking...
They called the Wagner coup, like the Wagner group, like, making that coup.
They called it weeks before.
Like, oh, this is...
This is what could happen.
And blah, blah, blah.
this is where we think it's heading.
And then the Wagner group did that shit.
And I was just like, okay, this is, this is scary and I thought.
You know what I mean?
Because, like, they're definitely, Putin's definitely going closer to, like, using tactical nukes,
which is insane, you know.
So what are tactical nukes?
So, what are tactical nukes?
So, you could technically not be like, oh, we only did a small nuke.
So small nuke is wiggle room, but that's, again, closer to, like, using the big one.
But also, they wouldn't do it because the fucking, what do you call the wind currents and shit?
they all blow towards Russia.
So if they'd hit Ukraine,
they're going to just be poisoning their own people.
They've done that before.
Yeah, but they might do it.
Yeah.
So, I don't know.
But to me, I'm just like, it's less,
it's more volatile, I think.
I thought Russia was in, like,
just kick Ukraine's ass.
But you were around during the Cold War.
Was that more scary than it is now?
I mean, I was like 10 during the Cold War.
Oh, okay.
So you probably didn't know really what was going on.
I just knew there was...
You guys didn't have an...
Infographics, I didn't have...
Was it scary?
I mean, you know, you know,
There was no internet.
So you only had three channels and they told you what they told you.
And, you know, that's what it was.
And there was, you know, Russia was bad.
You know, that was my understanding of the world between the ages of 10 and 15.
And America was good.
And, you know, now you realize that all these countries are the same.
They're all doing the equal amount of shitty and good, probably, depending on what side of your own.
I guess it's more on like a day-to-day basis.
So it's like, like, government-wise, it's like atrocities across the board.
But I think it's like the individual.
So you'd be like, oh, culturally we might
could be better than another country.
Day to day it was, I mean, I was past the time
where you were told to hide under a desk.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Which seems just as ridiculous as, I shouldn't say,
wearing a mask.
But I mean, I mean, there's always going to be something
that they tell the people you can do
so you have some control.
What I'm saying compared to like,
I was watching a documentary on Kyrgyzstanian
wife kidnapping.
And I'm like, all right, I think we're better than this.
You know what I mean?
There's certain things you're like,
I think we're better than some things.
Culturally, we're better than that.
But that happens in our stuff.
society too.
Yeah, I guess it's more organized.
We just don't report on it too much.
Yeah.
But that, dude,
there aren't your fucking kids are getting snatched up and we don't talk
about it.
Yeah, I talk about it every week.
I totally pedophiles are that.
We're the main topics on this podcast.
You want backwards?
Yeah, backwards.
But, uh, yeah.
Yeah, no, I don't know.
I guess I'm not, I was freaked out of initially because I was like,
oh, this is terrifying.
And now I'm kind of, I was a little, I was a little tight on talking about the
ass eating and the ass eating and the gay stuff.
I'm like, I have so many people talk about this stuff.
But now that we're talking about world politics, I feel like I want to go back to
I have no, I stopped watching the news about three years ago and reading anything
through about that.
I was like, you know what?
I'm way too negative and angry and uptight about everything.
So I'm just got to kind of tune out.
And I'm like, I have no grasp of anything.
I don't have no idea what we'll go back to the essay.
But you also like, I've talked like little things with you about like Snowden
or something like that.
And your cynicism is like a good thing in some ways.
Because you talk to some people about it.
And they're like, what do you really think the US government is doing bad stuff?
And you're like, what?
Who thinks that?
Like certain people will just say shit like that.
Oh, they're morons.
Yeah, yeah, and it's crazy.
I'm like, how do you?
Because there's always that weird theory in people's minds
where they're like, all right, well,
would the government really do something that insane?
It's like, conspiracy theories, they're not,
they're not always right, but they're on to the idea that people.
Like, would the government stand down if they knew 9-11 was going to happen?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, I'm fully on board.
I'm fully on board with, uh...
I mean, would they?
I mean, is there any reason to?
Is there any benefit to it?
Is there, I mean, you know, I'm sure all these governments run a cost-benefit analysis
of how many people of your own can you kill or,
Or manipulate by fear.
Yeah, yeah.
Or, I mean, and even if, even if they're not, like, there's so many other things that our government is complicit in from a poisonous food supply to, you know, a, you know, housing.
Yeah, maybe.
I don't know.
I don't know anything about.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, all right.
Yeah.
I don't know.
The CIA did it.
Well, you were, that's another thing.
You were here during 9-11.
Did people immediately be like, this was, we had an involvement in this?
I was a great joke about that
I don't have to bring up jokes
I'm not gonna
yeah yeah yeah I mean I watched it happen from my window
yeah that's crazy
which floor
which floor what
like were you
oh I was on the ninth floor
at 9th floor on Barrow Street
in the West Village
oh okay okay I mean I watched the second plane
yeah yeah first plane I was like
oh I must be another Kennedy flying a plane
yeah
I didn't know it was
but
I remember them saying on the news
they're going to pull a building 7.
That was on the news at one point.
There was some talk about the stability of building seven
and will they have to pull it?
And I remember saying to my friend,
I'm like, how are they going to pull a building?
Yeah, yeah.
So the thing, I'm not a 9-11 conspiracy theorist.
I am that quick.
I can pull it that quickly.
It takes fucking time to set up
and to demolish a building
takes fucking more than a few hours.
Unless those buildings were already rigged
from the get-go once they were built.
Right.
I don't believe it.
Because of the things that were in that.
That building, maybe that, who knows?
I don't know.
But I do know that the story we were told on the news while it was happening right after it happened, after it happened, was the reason the towers fell into their own footprint so cleanly, like a controlled demolition, was because of the unique construction of the building, the trestles and how each floor panicked because once the outer framework fell away, the floor is just pancakeed because of a very unique style of.
architecture. But Building 7 was a traditionally
built building, and that also fell
into its own footprint. Yeah, yeah. I don't
pretend to know the answers. I really don't know. I just don't think the story that
we're told is true. Right. But it's not
crazy to think that people, some, people go, you can't have a conspiracy
because nobody can keep a secret. But there was a conspiracy to take down the
buildings. There were people who did it, and who knows if there were signals that the
CIA knew or the FBI knew and because they weren't communicating or because they didn't
coordinate or because someone felt there was a something to be gained by having this terrible
thing happened. I don't know. Yeah, dude, I've just, I have the same frustration. People love
saying this thing because like I'm, I love UFO stuff and then people love to, well, they're
dude, it's so much fun. But people pull this shit where they go, they're like, yeah, do you think
everybody could keep that secret? It's like, well, clearly they're not keeping this. It's like,
it's like, it's like, everybody likes to say they're like, oh, really the JFK assassination? It's
like, do you think they could keep that a secret? It's like, well, they're not, it's not
happened. Like, that isn't a secret because it's hard to know. I mean, there's, there's,
there's, what is it called,
sciops?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And there's reverse
sciops and there's, you know.
Totally.
Yeah, I would fully believe
that the UFO thing
was completely a sciop.
I'm into it being like
different beings from other dimensions or whatever.
I could believe that or aliens.
But I also could easily be persuaded
that it was the government.
But either way, it's crazy.
Either way it would be insane.
There are objects, apparently,
flying in restricted airspace
off the coast of Virginia.
Yeah, yeah.
And it should be alarming
for our national security,
whether it's an alien craft,
which probably isn't.
Or if it's from an Elon Musk,
or if it's an Elon Musk type guy who's built,
but if there's an object that can go into the water
and out of the water and turn on a pivot 90 degrees
and engage with our fighter pilots in maneuvers,
you know, it's clearly engaging with them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So you got people from the Navy,
you know, high-ranking pilots and officials saying,
this is real and we're...
So you have to wonder what, why would they release that?
to end for them to, is it to obscure something else
or to confuse things or to discredit other people?
Or is it real?
I like to think it's from like, like, like, Zimbabwe.
It's like the real Wakanda.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
Well, the thing is, you know,
in a country like North Korea,
they can have their population,
they can make their population work on whatever they want.
They go, this is what you're doing.
You're digging rocks, right?
But if you have the whole population,
go, we're all going to work on building a craft
that can fly and maneuver like none else.
I mean, I'm sure it's not North Korea.
I think they're, but maybe you never know
when a country is. Yeah, well, that's interesting too
is like, there's, people always have that thing
they're like, oh, well, they couldn't keep a lie. If like,
if you thought your life depended on it, I think you could
keep a lie. People lie to their spouses
about cheating on them. So why couldn't somebody lie
about... But you need a lot of people to keep
a lie like 9-11 alive, you know? For sure, yeah.
But it's like also the fact that people
like, I guess UFOs would be more of the example
that made more sense because there are people that are coming
forward. They say, I worked in the government, we worked on this
stuff. So it's like, it's like you do have
people coming forward saying that. And then you don't know who
came forward and got murdered or who
was told one thing.
There's a thousand different scenarios where it's like
you don't know. But you're also like a marketing girl.
You know the power of a narrative.
You know what I mean?
And that's...
It must look really good on camera.
Yeah.
That's the thing I think...
You did that and Michael opened his mouth.
Like that.
My viewers think I'm gay, for sure.
As an avid...
I mean, I think you're gay.
As a guest's think you're gay.
As an advertising guy,
it is pretty amazing to me
that with no imagery to support it
there's
and I'm not saying I don't believe it
I'm just saying as an ad guy
a plane flew into the Pentagon
there's no imagery of it
there's no video of it
yeah that is the crazy thing it's the most surveilled building
in the world and I'm just come surprised
like you're not even going to Photoshop something
and give it to us like
so maybe maybe it's true
maybe it was a missile maybe it wasn't
maybe it was the plane
I really, I'm just, it is amazing that you can repeat something over and over and over again.
And it just becomes the truth. That is such a truth. Yeah. And just like, you know, I'm just like,
like me being gay. And I'm not, I'm not equating what I'm about to say. That conspiracy. Yeah.
I'm not going to equate when I'm about to say to 9-11, but like you tell people,
breakfast is the most important meal of the day and people think it's kind of a fact on some level,
but it's not. Dude, I'll think it. I'll eat a bigger breakfast. It's an advertising tagline that
became a thing. Now, I'm not trying to simplify it down to that level, but.
The same thing.
Through repetition and through people in authority channel.
A lot of people feel like the news is an authority.
You know, if the newscaster telling me, it must be true.
And if the president tells it to me, it must be true.
And if enough people tell me something, it simply must be true.
But over and over again, we look through the past and they go, oh, it wasn't true.
So, you know, I just find it fascinating that there isn't a lot of evidence.
I mean, I guess there's a destroyed building.
But it is interesting to me that you could, that even questioning it makes you seem crazy.
Like anybody who says, well, maybe that didn't happen.
Oh, so you're a, so you're a while.
Now you believe in like, you know.
That is what I believe a SIOP is.
I believe there is, there are definitely movements by the government if they do something shady to say,
we're going to make it look like somebody's insane if they start saying this about this.
It's like you could easily attach like some of the COVID stuff.
They'd be like, oh, that's like anti-Asian.
And they start like, they clump things together.
So you go, oh, I'm anti-Chinese if I think it came from a lab or something like that.
And the, the mass media in America, the, the, the mainstream.
media is owned by a handful of corporations who have a shared agenda.
And whether it's the corporations like Sinclair broadcasting system that, you know,
actually owns the channels or the advertisers who somewhat own the narrative of what's going to be
on everything from the TV shows to the news, I think it's healthy to question it.
And I think it's scary that we live in a society where if you just ask the question,
you're categorized as being like a looney tune.
Yeah, well, and it's also crazy when it's about something insane.
Like, 9-11 was a crazy thing.
So to have a crazy theory about a crazy thing, isn't that crazy?
You're like, this was a wild thing to begin with.
So, like, any part of it's crazy.
Somebody crashing a commercial helicopter into a building isn't, or plane.
Yeah, no, that's my experience.
Yeah.
It was never a plane.
Yeah, it was an helicopter, man.
They're not fucking in.
Just a hawk.
That's great.
But that's, my favorite was the COVID stuff because, like, I guess I leaned like slightly
conservative when it came to COVID, where I was like, all right,
I think this is like maybe blown out or all this kind of, whatever.
But people be like, I would never say I'm conservative.
But people be like, oh, now you're a Republican because of your views on COVID.
I was like, because of something that happened to month ago, like, when it was happening,
I was like this new thing.
Now I'm a Republican because I think this way about something.
You know what I mean?
It'd be like if aliens invaded.
And I was like, I don't know if, you know, I don't know if we should let them into our homes.
People were like, what do you're a new thing?
Like so like, you can't be.
Are you racist against aliens?
Yeah.
I'm like, no.
You're not going to let them.
I mean, that's kind of what District 9 was, right?
Yeah, yeah, they called them the, what do you call them, the,
prongs or something like that.
Yeah, because they were like little weird fish.
Not fish, but a...
Bugs, weren't they bugs?
Yes, they were bugs, but their hands were like claws.
So they called them prawns.
I think that's what you call.
Some sort of...
I don't know.
Prawn is like a fish, right?
Prone is a fish.
Yeah.
But I think they had like the weird...
Prerney hands?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's what it was, yeah.
And you know, I'm very comfortable saying I know less and less every day that I'm alive.
I don't know anything.
I used to think I knew a lot of things.
now I think I don't know anything.
But like the COVID thing, and I don't know.
Maybe I should be more well.
How can you know?
Maybe I should be talking.
I know everything.
When you try to, you know, I try to read things, but then you or watch things or listen to
people who are trying to educate me.
But then you have to ask yourself, well, whose agenda are they serving?
Who owns them?
Follow the money behind anyone from Fauci to, you know, the news media.
I mean, it's just funny to me that I lived here and I was very much of the
left, which isn't really the left, but the left in America.
And I watched CNN.
I watched Fox also as a comedian to try to see what both now, but I, and they're so
similar in the cultiness of what they present.
And then I moved to Tennessee at the height of the pandemic.
And I saw a part of the country that was living complete opposite of that.
Yeah, yeah.
No masks.
I would do comedy in clubs in Alabama.
People were dying in the streets.
They were not dying.
They were not dying in the streets.
If they were, I just didn't see it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And so, you know, when I lived in New York,
I was supposed to go to Germany
at the height of this pandemic.
And there was a comedian who was there.
He's like, oh, people are dying in the streets here.
They're dying in the streets.
I'm like, I think, it's just interesting me.
Like, that line was said over and over.
They're dying in the streets.
Yeah.
And I didn't see anybody.
I mean, what I...
Unless it's like fentanyl.
That's the only dying in the streets.
The way I envisioned it was people were literally just,
falling down and dying in the streets.
I'm like, holy shit, this virus is going to kill us all.
And then, you know, I didn't see that happen in New York.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm not, I'm sure people lost their loved ones.
I'm sure people, I mean, I know that people died.
Certainly.
I'm not saying it's a fake virus.
Yeah, we're going to agree to disagree on this, but...
Was it?
I don't think anybody died.
But I'm living in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
I'm doing shows in Florida, and I'm doing shows in Alabama,
and I'm not seeing people dying.
They're smoking indoors.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Which is just such a bizarre concept of someone here.
And it just kind of, again, it's just a hard thing to kind of square the reality that you're living within.
For sure.
The media environment that you're in.
And then, you know, the social media and the pressure that your friends put on you.
I mean, I was right before I left, I was running in McCarran Park on a track, on the track.
And someone I knew apparently was in the park and snapped my picture and sent it to me on Instagram and said a, like a private message and said, do you think this is a good look for you?
and I really, really thought,
I thought my shorts were too long.
I'm like, yeah, the shorts are kind of long.
I should get shorter shorts.
He's like, no, you're, you're not wearing a mask.
And I was like, I was like, is this, are you being serious?
He's like, yeah, man.
I'm like, I'm on a track outside.
Didn't the CDC, if that's going to be our arbiter of what is true and what is healthy,
say that you can be outside without a mask?
At the time, that's what they, at that time, that week, it was fine.
Dude, that's a friend saying that to you.
I remember writing a,
bike to Prospect Park and people on the sidewalk
be like, put a mask on.
I'm like, are you fucking kidding?
And we laugh about it now, but I mean.
It's insane. I would, it would, I would
laugh and also be angry.
Like, so, and I was like, oh, I'm really
going to work out now. You know what I mean? Because this,
it was crazy. It's like, strangers.
Fucking strangers just be like,
put a mask on. I'm like, I'm on a bike.
And I'm not even close to you. It's fucking.
But you look, it's easy
to look back and laughing it now. And it is
terrible. I mean, clearly.
People, there are a bunch of, no, so many people
see, people say,
Nobody apologized for being a dick.
Nobody was like, I'm sorry that I was a complete asshole.
People always say it's like, no, it was okay.
It was such novel times that...
No, dude, it showed your character.
It showed some true colors that make me not want to fuck with you
because I know if shit ever goes down,
you're not the person I want to be surrounded by.
I was living in a condo in East Williamsburg
and we had a guy who took care of the building.
Eric, shout out to Eric, who was the super in the building.
He had three kids.
And the management company,
And I was on the board of the condo.
And the management company wanted to fire him
because he wouldn't come to work.
And he was considered an essential worker.
So they're like, well, he has to come to work
is an essential worker.
I'm like, he's got three kids.
And he's not comfortable cleaning the building,
the elevator and the stairwells
where everyone's walking.
We're not firing anybody during a pandemic.
I was so angry even thinking about it now.
I'm like, who are you people?
Yeah, yeah.
We live in this building together.
The building can.
I'm so fucking angry.
The building can't get...
This is what we need.
We need energy on the podcast.
The building can't...
Day four of a goddamn fucking pandemic
and this building can't even get along with people.
We live amongst each other.
We know this guy.
You give him Christmas tips.
And your first reaction is fire him.
You gotta get...
Fuck everybody.
And none of them deserve to live.
Those are the people who should have died of COVID.
People who don't take care of their own or their friends
or show any kind of compassion or humanity.
You know, what...
And then what's the upswing of that?
I'm not trying to giggle.
I'm just really high right now.
What's the upswing of this?
you get to live and how do you live with yourself after that?
I told everyone, I go, so if you live, are you going to be able to live with yourself
after this is over?
After this is over.
So you fired someone, you took away his livelihood, and this is just day four.
Who else you get to get rid of?
Who doesn't meet your criteria of your needs for something unprecedented that we know
nothing about?
And this guy doesn't want to clean up your, your unsanitary mess.
Fuck all you people.
And then that dude's response to everything Jeff says, we're like, if he dies, he dies.
Yeah.
So I don't even know.
I mean, I was on the side of the virus.
I don't, I haven't seen a lot of humanity.
That's like, we should keep this thing going.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, I think one thing, though, is I think everybody's kind of relaxing a little bit.
Now I think things are going in a good direction.
Don't say, did he end up getting fired?
Yeah, we're fired.
Okay.
No, I was kidding.
I took him out back and shot him.
I was like, hey, at least shoot it.
Don't make him live without a job.
Yeah, yeah.
A little time with dignity.
But I don't know, because, like, like, I think of the people.
of COVID, I felt like things were really bad.
And I was like, everything sucks.
The media sucks.
The internet sucks.
TV shows suck.
Movies suck.
But now like the TV shows.
Yeah, that's why I knew culture was in a, I was just, I don't know, I wasn't
happy.
But then I feel like recently everybody like got, like, I've seen a lot of people kind
of move towards the middle politically and they just be kind of cool, coolly to
each other now versus like then.
I've seen that.
Yeah.
I think a lot of people that were kind of like far one way or the other way.
They're kind of like, yeah, man, I don't.
You know, like, I think we should have to have a.
celebration though when it ended
though, right?
It's not fully over for something.
But when it went down to an endemic
instead of a pan-
which is, that's what's called an endemic?
They just shorten the word pandemic,
they're like it's less of the whole word?
I think it's at the end.
Oh, an end-demic?
You mean like edemic, like, kind of like,
it's just like, it's like a small scale.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I guess panned probably means larger.
It goes, goes larger.
Yeah, yeah.
I just wish a little bit of this outrage
was there for the AIDS.
Dude, I mean, dude, the outrage was to me so fun.
money man because like I had this one girl she was like super cool you know I was we we were hanging
out back then but then she turned into that virtual virtual I spoke like no pod I get fucking I'm sorry
I'm pretty lit too I'm not gonna lie I zoned out I zoned out after I took that first and I zoned out for five
yeah I saw your head just look at that and I was like okay I'm back um you see the girl but yeah
so she was she just turned into like that uh you know the black box virtual signaling at
everything getting angry at people getting angry at friends getting what's it called the black box
because the black square you put on the square.
Yeah, yeah.
But, you know, that's cool.
That's what I'm saying.
But you know the people that are super vocal.
You see the super vocal people.
I'm not bragging about that.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, there was like, yeah, that like in solidarity.
But like, you see, like, people were like,
posting their amounts to like this is how much I donated George Floyd's family.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They got like 40 stories a day about like how we're fucking up.
You know, it's just like a lot.
And I was just me.
I just couldn't.
I couldn't like, I couldn't.
But it was nice.
I bumped into her and she was just kind of like, yeah,
went a little crazy there.
I'm sorry.
Like you said,
everyone's moving kind of
towards like a little
like they might have moved
a little further out
but now everyone's kind of like
oh yeah
I got a little crazy there
which is good
that they like
you know pick up on that.
Yeah, no, no, absolutely
and I'm directing our attention
elsewhere.
No, no, no, no,
I was just adjusting to things.
I was saying don't look at the TV
right now.
Yeah, everybody seems cool.
But also like moths.
I think it just gets on.
I'm gonna put a 60-inch screen
on right in front of your face.
Don't look at it.
Yeah, no, no.
But it's like, I think just whenever anybody gets too invested in their ideas,
because it's like, really at the end of the day,
I'm a hypocrite if I think your ideas are really, like, all of them are,
if I hate all of your viewpoints,
because I wouldn't want you to hate my viewpoints just because I think differently than you.
So to, like, hate somebody for their viewpoints at the end of the day is like,
not that it's morally wrong, but it's kind of, it just doesn't make,
it's kind of hypocritical.
That's the only way I'm kind of hip, like, I'm a, yeah, a hypocrite, you know.
Yeah, but that's why people that are like,
because I'm right and they're wrong.
Yeah.
I mean, everybody thinks I'm right.
I think it.
I'll be like, what a fucking idiot.
He doesn't think like me.
But I think that way, which is crazy because he thinks this, you know what I mean?
That hypothetical person thinks the same thing about it.
What I can say about me is I have like, there's like a growth in me that's, I'm capable of growth in a sense or like something.
Something will pop up.
I'm like, well, that guy was totally right.
Yeah, yeah.
My mustache does look stupid or something.
Like whatever it is.
That's a huge thing.
I think I'm the same way where like if I realize I'm wrong about something, I'm like, well, this sucks.
I was wrong.
But I'm, like, you got to accept that you're versus I cannot get my girlfriend.
to say she's wrong about
anything. Like
another selling point
for the gays. I'm not trying to...
Is that a thing?
Are claus to gay guys to hate women?
You know, everyone thinks that the gays are
are like trying to like convert, but
I think women do more of the converting
of men to being gay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm sorry, I don't know why I brought back
to that. No, no, it's fun to just call me gay, I get it.
No, no, it's, it's fine.
I mean, maybe you're bisexual. That's fine.
I don't think I'm either, but...
I'm just kidding, dude. I'm also high as shit.
I'm like,
he's starting to believe the conspiracy
slowly like
the fluoride in the water
the government puts into that
that will make you
that was one of the funniest things I heard
I tuned it
there was an old OPE and Anthony episode
where Louis C Cage's host for three hours
and he's just calling people in like fuck you
just being like his crumagony self
especially at the time
but Alex Jones calls in
but they don't know it's Alex Jones
because it's 2005
so it's the funniest thing to hear
all right we got a caller
or Mr. Alex Jones from
Austin.
Oh, I got to check this out.
Yeah, and then he calls in he's like,
I only got a few minutes,
there's fluoride in the water,
and Louis's like, we're going to have to take up.
That's a pretty good Alex Jones.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's like, there's fluoride in the water,
and we got to get rid of it.
Don't drink tap water.
It's killing everybody.
It's making everybody gay.
Yeah, you should drink water from Coca-Cola.
You should drink that.
That's not, yeah.
That's when Michael's water intake shot up.
But it was somebody
too, because Louis was just like, look, they're going to take us off there if we keep talking about.
What if that's like the moment that just empowered Alex Jones to go full?
He's like, I know there's silence in me.
Because that's the hard part too.
And people feel like they're being silent.
They're like, dude, I only got to fucking.
Nobody's being silence.
Nobody's ever had a larger distribution opportunity of their points of view than at this moment in history.
Old YouTube was pretty.
You could kind of get crazy on that.
Oh, okay.
My favorite thing now is the comment section.
Just be like, be like, you.
you just earned an unfollow.
Like, that's my favorite thing.
Like, you think anyone really gives a fucking shit?
You know what I mean?
Like, maybe the creator might care,
but as people seeing you write that,
like, shut the fuck up.
It's a new loss of their followers.
Yeah, when I was, during the pandemic,
I read something.
I can see Jeff saying that.
Oh, no, no, no.
Quite a opposite.
I can see you get to a restaurant.
Like, do you yelper?
No, no, no, no.
He solves a problem right then and there.
Yeah.
That's the kind of guy, Jeff is.
Tell everybody not to eat there.
You guys are good now.
I'm sorry.
I went a little crazy.
But now we figured it out.
He knows.
You go off?
Yeah.
What a surprise.
Dude.
Every time I've,
you know,
because honestly,
he was in a pretty,
he did have a lot of problematic shit
with,
like,
his apartment going on.
But I,
I did catch,
like,
him just on the phone every day,
like,
making sure shit happens.
Like,
he was trying to make Tennessee
move as quick.
Well,
you know,
as the pace of New York City,
which is funny,
because even construction
shit in New York.
York is insane. But like, it was just, you know, it's funny because I bought this condo and it was just
being built. And Meno and I think Tilelli were at the hotel in Chattanooga as I was transitioning
into the condo. And they, you know, Tilelli at one point, Nick Tilelli was like, can't you just
enjoy that you got, you bought a place? Can't you just take a moment to enjoy some of the ground that
you've covered and the things that you have? And then we get into the, we walk into the condo and
Nick just looks around and goes,
this is fucking terrible.
I mean, there were holes in the wall.
I just bought this place.
And it's like a new construction.
And yeah, I lost it.
I was like, I got on the phone with them like,
do not make me be the stereotypical Jew from New York
that sues you into oblivion.
I could be so litigious
and I am so incredibly lured up
with people who will ruin you, ruin you.
And if that doesn't work.
Wait, wait, wait, can you give you one second?
You said this when I was in town, too, about something.
Oh, what was that about?
I heard, I don't, I don't remember what it was,
but I remember you
talking about it.
Maybe I was just telling you the story.
Yeah, maybe.
Yeah, yeah.
Because I haven't had any big issues
since then.
No, I think it was when you were talking about
you punched the guy.
I could catch them.
No, it's fine.
I don't mind.
I mean, I want people think I'm tough.
It's cool.
Some guy was disrupting the show that I run
and then he called me a faggot
and I had lost my...
Yeah, yeah.
I just lost my temper
and got a little physical
and it was on camera.
Yeah.
Why'd you do it, Meno?
Oh, man.
He's getting all the stage time.
Yeah.
That's how me and Jeff kind of met.
He was about to fight some of it.
Oh, yeah, actually.
I met Meno because he was running a mic,
and these two Australian drunk guys were heckling me.
And I was like, maybe stand-up isn't for me.
And then Meno was like, don't let them.
I was like, yo, I was like, hey, guys, relax, man, be cool, man.
He's just trying some jokes.
If you don't like it, just don't laugh.
Don't be a dick.
And they did it again.
And they's like, come back here, Jeff.
Come on, Jeff.
Come on.
Let's go.
You know, I was like trying to bump him up.
And then Australia, just go at him again.
I was like, wow.
I just went home like I'm not going to do this anymore.
And then I got this message.
And even Meno's email sound like Meno's like, hey, man, don't.
Don't let them remember what you want to do.
And I've also like, I've got the point somebody too,
because I used to look at people freaking on audiences and be like,
oh, what is this amateur hour?
And then three weeks ago, I freaked on an audience.
And I was like, I get it.
Like, they can push you to a fucking...
I think it was my second time ever doing stand-up, ever.
Oh, that's insane.
In this room that was like 110 degrees.
And I had waited so long to get up.
Oh, yeah, the experimental.
Yeah.
Did someone get like raped?
Raped there?
Yeah.
That's very experimental.
It's a new style of comedy I haven't seen.
And it was like just my second time and he wouldn't even let me speak and I'm like,
yeah, fuck this.
Yeah, yeah.
Thank you, Meno for bringing me into this world.
No, man.
Sometimes I don't know if I did you a favor or not.
That was cool.
Like I didn't know we'd be like boys after that.
You know what I mean?
Well, that's what like so much of like the beginning in comedy is like you remember
doing some weird open mic and some strange play.
and you're like it was a very bonding moment.
It's funny because I still even have a temper problem because like men are just
said we're boys and I think we are boys but I was angry at him to him and I thought he wasn't
gonna come I was like I was here last time and he didn't want to hang out of me and
then I'm going to this whole spot I'm like is it me and then and then you were telling me
there were all these guests that didn't show I'm like do they not want to be on the show
because of me is it and then I'm like oh maybe it's not about me there could be things
that are not about me yeah yeah I do think 9-11 was about me yeah that's for you yeah
Yeah, I put
I go, I think I'm pretty patient
When Jeff's rage
And, you know, he has a
And I got to put up also with the fact that
Uh, he,
once every three times we hang out,
he's like,
I just felt a little disappointed.
You know?
Just like,
You just,
every three times?
Every three times.
I just a little disappointed.
I'm a little bitch.
I don't want to be.
This is a little disappointment.
It's like, ah, sorry, dad, you know.
Well, maybe that is the thing.
I'm also 53.
And all these people I hang up with are like, what are you 18?
No, you would, I feel like you're the same guy you were when you were fucking 24 years old.
You know what I mean?
Were you always angry?
I think he probably chilled out.
I think when you're younger, you were like probably, because you always have a lot of energy.
I don't, I don't want to be this way.
But like, I go to a museum.
I'm good to the Louvre.
I think it's great.
I think it's great.
Beautiful art from all through the ages, if you believe it's the real Mona Lisa.
And I'll just notice the crack in the wall.
I'm like, why don't they fix that?
This is the fucking Louve.
Who's the manager here?
This is the fucking Lou.
Fix that.
Yeah, yeah.
Instead of like appreciating the beauty
and the art that's there.
Staying at the boat with him.
The boat is the hotel.
He wasn't in the boat.
Okay, so the hotel.
Hotel in Chattanooga.
That shit was like, he really was,
I think you guys were like,
you and Steve might have been like writing like a pilot about it.
Because it was, I felt like I was in a TV show, dude.
Sometimes I'll just be like reading a book and then Jeff will come in and like, he
won't even see me.
I'm like, oh, shit, the show's on.
You know, like, it'd be like, hey, so I'm supposed to get this package.
And I didn't get the package.
And I didn't get the package.
Like, I don't know.
It's always like fucking intense.
I'm like, I like, I like this.
Well, yeah.
Do you think there's any, because that is like a stereotype of like Jewish people like the.
I thought you were to say gay people.
Never happy.
That, well, I guess both cultures have a complaining.
Well, you know, the, well, it was talking about the TV show.
The original producer of the Daily Show sent someone down to film because he was like,
there's got to be a TV show in a gay Jew from New York who's living in a hotel
and Chattanooga, Tennessee, bringing comics down every two weeks to run a show.
So they tried to make.
How's that not been made by like NBC?
It's a great premise.
NBC, get on that.
Yeah, that huge fans
The Morning Good Podcasts.
I think they love it.
So, I don't know why it didn't become a show.
Maybe because the person who came down
to shoot the test reel was a,
I can't say.
I think he had some dancing with substances.
Oh, okay, okay, yeah.
God, that sounds so romantic.
Dancing with substances.
I think of like a James Bond intro,
and it's like somebody falling into a pool
with like pills.
That sounds beautiful.
If he's talking about the guy, I think it is,
it's also like the perfect analogy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because dancing doesn't sound like it's right.
It sounds like he's like, like he's coming in too close with the drugs.
Then he gets away.
He's kind of like, he's kind of like Jack Sparrow with him.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So when we looked at the edit, it was a little chaotic.
I'm like, what is this about?
I was in this and I don't understand it.
You know, but it was an attempt.
Who knows, maybe it'll come back.
I still talk to those guys.
Yeah.
Well, was it like, so you were shot,
it sounded like you loved Chaddugue when you first got there
and you were like, this is...
Yeah, yeah.
No, I know you like it still.
I do.
I don't know if you love it still.
I know you like it still.
It's hard to be away from home for three years now.
I thought it was only supposed to be a couple of months,
but I bought the place, so I knew what I was getting into.
Right.
But I'm saying, like, was there like, what were like your other big surprise?
Like, were you like, this is...
Because, like, had you ever visited before?
Never.
Don't even know where it was.
When Steve Aloy and I got in a car, we had to, like, look at a map.
And where the fuck is chatting?
Because I would think New Yorkers just have such a negative view of Tennessee.
Dude, I had no knowledge of it.
I loved it.
When everybody did visits,
loves it.
Like, I had a great fucking time.
I had been to Chattanooga before,
but I was saying, like,
like,
like, everybody I've met as far as comics
that aren't from the South,
go there,
and they loved Chattanooga in Tennessee.
Me, yo,
I just made, like,
some good,
like, you know,
staying with Jeff,
I was saying some good stories to do that.
But even just,
like, getting on the road
was kind of fun.
Like,
I've always been in New York
doing this fucking comedy bullshit.
I don't,
I just don't travel a lot.
Which is so much,
it's so work,
I think.
So,
that was just like,
Nick's Tully's fucking, me and him
driving back his car broke down.
Yeah.
That was an insane experience.
You just left the car.
Dude, we left the car and we rent the U-LUAL.
Can you imagine T-T.
T-T. Cruiser.
Is it purple?
So the P.T. Cruiser story's hilarious.
You know, I kind of want to let,
if Nick, if Nick's probably gonna do some part,
he can tell that story.
But it's also fucking my story,
but it was his car that broke down.
Don't, don't.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm not like, don't talk about that.
Yeah.
No, no.
It's just because, you know,
it's such a good moment.
And Nick definitely will shine some good light on it
if you ever do have a mom.
I've had a mom.
We just defended how we're not racist.
There's one thing.
It just started funny.
The moment it broke down,
like,
because you know Nick,
he's a fucking hothead.
He'd be like,
what the fuck?
This is just bullshit.
But he even took it like really chill.
Like,
so we took it surprisingly like,
yeah,
it's right.
This is gonna be,
this isn't be good.
Yeah, Nick,
we got this.
We figured us out.
And even like,
so like,
he mentioned the PT Cruiser.
The funniest thing is like,
the moment we start talking to people
is like,
hey, our PT cruiser broke down.
everyone just starts laughing
because it's a PT Cruiser.
They're like, wait, did you say PT Cruiser?
I imagine it's hard to be really angry
in the PT Cruiser.
And then we just started laughing.
Dude, but they were so nice.
The lady, I don't know, it was like some jiffy-loop shit.
I don't know what they have.
Okay, can you guys pull up PT Cruiser?
Because I've been laughing along and I don't know what it is.
I'll be honest.
I'm feeling high.
I'm feeling honest.
I'm not nervous.
I played in.
I don't want porn to show up.
Why would porn show up?
It's a gay guy getting stuck under her table.
I told you it's real.
I'm stuck in this piece.
P.
But I want to see the car to get the...
It's not a Tulli car.
Dude, that's the P.T. Cruiser, dude.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
It is weird for him.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, not at all.
I think, like, an old lady
with, like, really red lipstick driving with us.
Oh, dude, it's just, like, the worst car.
They stopped making it a while back,
and it's just hilarious.
It's, like, so much problems with it.
But the lady at this fucking, like,
AutoZone or whatever, she was, like, laughing at us.
And then, and then also just a little side note.
A lady came in.
Her Tourette's was just hilarious.
She was like a fucking parrot.
She's like, beep, beep, I see a mollet.
You know what I mean?
It was like a Paris.
And me, Nick just can't stop fucking laughing.
Was you saying bad words?
That's a huge part of the thing.
No, she's like, it's like, it's like, it's just say obvious things.
Like, he's got a mullet.
He's got, he's wearing, like, make a, like, a parrot noise.
And it's like, he's got jeans on.
I were beeping at first.
She just had a beeping problem.
She had a beeping problem.
She had a beeping problem.
She's like, and then say something.
Like Tourette's with like, I don't know.
She didn't bleep out the racist word.
Yeah.
She didn't.
But anyways
Dude she fucking called her dad
Like the lady being that's so nice
Like that southern hospitality bullshit
Like it's real
Like she called her dad
And he's just like hey
This guy with a PT cruiser
Automatically dad starts laughing
He's like he's like no
Shut up he really has a PT cruiser
It's like it was just so funny
But yeah wow
Wild time
That can't go on right
What do you mean
Can I talk about this on the air
What can you cut things out?
Yeah I can't cut things out yeah
We can't turn that on can we
The AC
Oh yeah we can turn it
We got a couple minutes left.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, let's turn on.
Okay, because I'm just, I'm starting to like pit out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Maybe the last, we'll do like four more minutes and then maybe it gets fucked up, but we'll be fine.
We'll see.
Yeah.
That sounds really loud.
Not to me.
It sounds cooling.
All right, we'll figure it out.
Sounds nice.
The, uh, I'm sure I could put it on low or something like that.
I'll turn on mode.
Auto.
I'll do auto.
But, uh, you were telling, you were telling me that.
somebody blessed his bus?
What was that story?
Oh, he took a...
Well, he'll tell it, but he took a...
So the comics, a lot of comics come down from New York to do the Carpager show,
and they'll get into Nashville, and they'll take a shuttle.
Yeah, that's right.
And there's a company called Grom that has a nice shuttle.
There's, like, a shittier greyhound that will come.
And I try to tell people, I know, the Greyhound, but tell them about your Greyhound experience.
Yeah, I took the Greyhound.
Oh, yeah, dude.
It was like going to, like, an open mic and Bushwick, you know what I mean?
But, no, it was...
Wait, quick question.
You've been to the Nashville Greyhound Station.
Yes.
There's an armed guard there.
I don't know if you saw him.
Dude, I heard, when I tell you, I heard this funniest shit there, and they were scared.
The guy behind me said, he was on a phone.
He's like, when push comes to shove, I stab.
It was like, the best line I ever heard.
I'm just already like, wait, this is an experience also.
Keep your head on a fucking swivel.
You know what I mean?
Like, it's when I put the sound low on my phone.
Yeah, dude, I walked it and I get to the Greyhound Station.
there's an armed guard there
and I'm like, this is insane
this guy has a bulletproof vest
for just security of Greyhound.
There's a woman behind a podium
and I'm like asking her,
she's asleep and I'm like,
hey, do you know when the next bus comes?
She goes, I don't work here.
She's just like sleeping behind the podium.
And then this guy,
because I swear to God he looks at me,
I haven't said anything.
End up being a really nice guy,
but he looks at me and goes,
you watch your back?
Or you watch my back, I'll watch yours.
I was like, this fucking prison?
It's amazing.
From whatever, I've never been.
Dude, exactly.
But tell him about the,
the driver.
Oh, dude, it's just amazing.
It's just fucking, it just looks like the worst, you know, like, we're all sad.
And, um, and some people's scary, you know?
So, um, then we get on this fucking greyhound though.
And our driver was a, she was a piece of work, man.
She comes on, you know, they got like, they talk over like the fucking money.
Like bane.
Yeah.
Oh, dude.
She was so funny, though.
She was like, porn in the talk.
Dude.
Holy by it.
She was just like, she's like.
All right, everybody, this is my bus.
And I will not have any bullshit on my bus.
You hear me now?
All right, I will expel these demons out of my bus.
All right.
And then, like, people are talking.
And then she, like, gets out of her seat.
She turns out of like, did you not just hear what I said?
And then everyone's like, yes, ma'am, you know?
And then there's like, right?
And she was like, and I tell you, I won't be putting up with nothing.
So if you're going to be up to that shit, get off now.
and now let's pray.
And dude, she did like a five minute prayer.
She's like, get these demons out of my bus right now.
Please get them out of my bus so I don't have to deal with their shit.
And I was like, you cannot petition the Lord with prayers.
And it was just one of my favorite rides.
Everyone shut the fuck up, but she was also the craziest driver.
And we booked her on the show now.
She does 10 minutes every other month.
I would hope so.
She's wild.
Wait, did she like do like a ceremony with the blessing or she just pray?
Oh, dude, she was just like waving her.
hand. She was like, no bullshit.
Some guy, like, made a little noise. She's like, you better stop that
shit right there right now. And I was just like,
god damn, this is crazy.
Like, if that were, dude, and the lady walked in,
like this lady, she was like this like normal
looking Asian lady. You know what I mean?
Gotta say that now.
Wait, wait.
Wait, wait. What do you have to say?
I said the normal part of the Asian part.
So there's Asian walks on and,
but she looked, she looked around.
White.
Yeah.
She looked around.
just walked right back off because she
saw like, and it was weird, she like walked in
during the prayer, she's like, I'm not doing this.
But I always
when he told me that I'm like, could you imagine
if that's like part of the training program for the drivers?
Like, you got to cast the demons up.
Don't even put it in drive until the demons are out.
What a crash? They don't do it.
You got to do a smudge. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fucking demons. That is insane.
But every time someone's gone on the Greyhound, I've heard that's.
They've had a different thing, yeah. But there's no
direct flight into Chattanooga. So you got to get,
You know, I mean, some people do the two flights.
Oh, take groom.
Take groom.
Take groom.
Yeah, take groom.
So much better.
It's another bus car.
I had one of those where I thought some guy was crazy on the bus, and then he ended up
being right about everything.
There was a guy I was in D.C.
And there was this hood dude.
He was giving all these, like, he was saying just things he was like, he was saying he's
like, D.C. should call it Duty City.
That's what D.C. stands for.
People got their dog shit all the motherfuckuckacocker street.
And then he's like, what they're going to do is they're going to take the dog shit.
When you go to the vet, they're going to collect.
your dog's shit and then they're going to take
the shit on the ground and sample it and find you
if your dog's shit in public. That's true.
Yeah, it's a thing that's not there, but it happens
in France. I was like, what the fuck? I was like, that's wild.
Condo, condo associations. I had no idea.
That's wild. Yeah, I'm like, this is fucking wild,
but I thought this guy was, because the guy's... And if your dog
has committed a crime, they'll find it.
Yeah, yeah. And this guy's talking about all kinds
of stuff, he's like, there should be this bitch name Venus. She had a
fat ass. So they worshipped her, and she brought her around as a freak show.
Then they took her ass and they put it in a museum. And I'm like,
What is he, and I looked at, this is like true, like, racist freak show.
Her asses in glass.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it was like some racist freak show thing he was talking about
where they would carnival around this black one with a huge ass.
And, yeah.
So I guess if you're ever sure up for material, just go to a Greyhound station.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Or just go on the Greyhound.
Yeah, yeah.
No, it was awesome.
I should chime in those more, though.
Wait, was it you that...
Someone came and they were, like, legitimately scared to be at...
Maybe it was Taylor Yarsh.
I shouldn't say he was scared, but someone was like,
just make sure I get, I'm trying to remember who
someone was like, just make sure I get into the
into the building.
I want to have to drop them off at the
place in Chattanooga even.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Even the Chattanooga Grand Hust station.
Oh yeah, because outside, so the Chad.
That area is a little dodgy.
It's crazy, yeah.
My driver said he's like, I'm going to drive fast.
Oh, that's what it was.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, the guy said, yeah, he's got to drive fast
because I guess what happened was,
they don't even slow down.
You just have to roll out of the bar.
Yeah, yeah.
Dude, it was like when I was leaving the,
because like the Greyhound
itself was just like some, it looked like, I don't know, like it was just kind of in the woods.
It was very normal.
But then the second you get out of that, it was like so much heroin and stuff.
And I was like, oh, yeah, yeah.
But we got to, we're about finished up.
Is there anything you guys want to promote?
I'm doing a few open mics next week.
Well, this will be.
We're at the art house.
We're at the art house tonight, but I don't think this is going to come out.
No, no, that's not.
You guys will make it.
Three weeks from now?
Yeah, yeah, that's not going to happen.
Three weeks from now.
Where are you going to be in three weeks?
I don't know.
follow me.
Yeah, what's your Instagram?
Mano underscore Scar.
Perfect.
If you go to that guy,
I met.com.
All my socials are there.
Oh, really?
I run the Carpetbagger show,
which is a show in Chattanooga.
It's a blast.
Thank you,
which always has at least one New Yorker on it
every first and third Friday.
Oh, this comes out in three weeks, right?
Yeah.
We're going to be in a new location by them.
Because the audience is now ballooned up
to around 80 or 90 people,
so we have to move to a bigger place.
We're going to be in a place
It's called the Grand Falloon.
Okay.
And we're the first and third Fridays.
We've had a whole bunch of sold-out shows.
If there's any cool mirror comics who are good people and also funny, we'd love to have them.
If you guys have Rex, let me know.
And all the other comics are from the Southeast area.
Oh, yeah.
But it's a great time.
I mean, I actually have family who lives outside Chattanooga.
So maybe they'll.
Please come back.
Yeah.
All right.
Thank you.
All right.
