I'm sorry. Hello everybody, welcome to the Adam Friedland show.
Today's date is June, July?
July 10th? 11 11th I really have to
check I got no idea July 12th 2024 and it is another hot
summer in New York this one's brutal yeah it's relentless
yeah joining joining today is Drew Dunn hello good to be here
I'm joining joining today is Drew Dunn. Hello. Good to be here. Yeah. Thanks for coming. Yeah. Yeah
You were here like this this is the worst summer it's been in a while
Yeah, it's I feel like last summer. I mean I was on the road a lot last summer But it was it I feel like it we had breaks. It was like a couple days
It'd be 90 and now it's just like every day. I'm sweating my balls off every other train car is no AC.
It just sucks.
Yeah, it's fun.
Yeah.
What are you doing to stay cool this summer?
I also I have to be true be told I've been skipping the podcast.
I've not been on the podcast for maybe a month now.
Yeah.
And I'm not even sure any particular reason or just not want to leave your house or.
Well, Adam offered to do it.
He's like, I can cover it.
You know, is that great? Yeah. Yeah, perfect. Why not? Yeah, take a month
What does it matter? You know, right? Yeah, exactly
No, I just I just got to the point of being fat enough where I have to carry like a rag with me
I like a towel just to fucking douse my face and my hair off
So I don't look like a sweaty pig in between spots. So yeah, that's been fun
There's really not much you can do to like stay cool other than like walk into
a random restaurant or something like that.
I find that the big hats really help the big hat. It looks good on you too.
Yeah. Well, yeah, somebody gave it to me. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. It's a,
I see. I would think it would do the opposite.
I feel like it would trap in cause I feel like when I take this hat off,
I'm just a sweaty mother.
You remember as a kid you learn about Arabs and you're like, what the fuck are they doing?
You're in the desert.
Why are you wearing like a hotel collection bed set?
It wasn't?
You had a different?
No, I mean, yeah.
I mean, it's just funny to be like, what the fuck are they doing?
Because that is your first thought as a little white boy in New England when you see a...
Yeah, you'd think that would not make sense, but it makes a lot of sense.
Yeah, yeah. But what is the science behind that is it just
because it's like a light fabric or is it just like airflow yeah I would
imagine airflow maybe works like a radiator sort of but then you see people
in the Caribbean nobody's wearing hijabs down there they're no shirt sandals
maybe it's because it's more humid it it's dry in the desert. Yeah, the humidity probably fucks you up if you're wearing all the fabrics and Egyptian silks and shit.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
And then in Yemen, I don't know what they wear in Yemen.
Are you into this whole Middle East stuff?
Oh, I put bets on it.
Do you?
Yeah, they got it on FanDuel.
Yeah, it's fun to...
It's exciting stuff.
It's fun because it does remind me of what Hollywood's doing with movies, which they're just doing remakes.
It's just the same.
It seems like the same conflict over and over again.
The Yemen thing is new though.
Yemen's new, but it's not really new. It has been happening for like 10 years.
The Civil War I mean they only had like
I think the Houthis only had like small arms now Iran's giving them like missiles
and stuff yeah well blowing up all these ships that's awesome I think it's great
I think yeah the more global conflict the better because it gives us something
to talk about you know if and for me I like, if we're gonna all die in a fiery hell hole, like,
I don't think that'll ever happen.
You don't think I'm agreeing with you on that?
I think like it's just a distraction.
It's just another thing to like, Oh, we're going to be,
it's like, this feels like the red scare fucking fifties.
We're all going to get nuked bullshit all over again.
I don't think you're going to have, yeah,
you're not going to have nuclear conflict until we,
we pass a couple of generations where they don't have the
the
the shadow of the Cold War yeah, I think it will take a
Corporation coming up with nuclear technology so like that's where I see like the big if there is this big war
It'll be some guy in a fucking ocean base right now. Who's building a robot army and figuring out how to make nukes?
I don't think they're allowed to do that
Yeah
But if you're trying to like make a new world order or something like that there's stuff like in in US law
There's something called like a natural born secret. Okay, where like
You know cuz we have like freedom of expression and freedom of thought.
Right.
I think legally, even if you're in your own head,
you don't even write it down, you come up
with an idea for cold fusion, the government just owns it
and you're not allowed to tell anybody.
Interesting.
But don't you think they would just buy it out and hire you
and put you in a base themselves?
They would probably offer you some money.
But yeah, they do own it.
But don't you think, I mean, when you leave,
let's say you came up with Cold Fusion,
when you just go somewhere else.
And I don't think it's, because Cold Fusion's like an energy solution.
But if you came up with, actually I think, because you know, we already have like thermonuclear
weapons, right?
But the actual technology is secret.
I don't think that like, you know, like they say like Iran can develop a nuclear bomb.
I think that's just like just a fission bomb.
Right.
You're talking about like just what we made in the 40s kind of thing.
Yeah, that kind of thing.
Big huge 40 times the size of that nuke.
A fusion bomb using an uranium explosion to make fucking you know turn hydrogen into helium
and whatever that process is.
Right.
Right.
Right. I think that's still pretty secret technology.
And if you were to come up, if you were to figure it out,
like even if you were to, you couldn't go to
like the New York Times and be like,
hey, check this out.
It's like a...
Interesting.
Yeah.
Yeah, not that I'm sure you would.
I think if you're the guy working on nuclear experiments
in your basement, you're probably trying to keep
that secret as long as possible until you try
and do something.
But I mean, I think we're way more likely to have just random little terrorist attacks
or conflicts or, or fights like that.
That's more of the threat, I think, as far as like a war breaking out in the United States,
less likely than a nuke just comes out of nowhere and drops it.
I mean, and also I'm not really worried about that.
I'm pretty sure we have UFOs.
I'm pretty sure we're going to be fine.
Like if we have nukes and UFOs, who's going to fuck with us?
You think we actually have UFOs?
I think we have something.
I think we have some crazy dark secret.
You don't have that big of a military budget
and don't experiment.
Do you think it's aliens, or do you
think it's ancient civilizations that left technology
somewhere in the ocean?
It might be both.
I think what we're probably seeing a lot of UFOs is more than likely what we're experimenting
with and trying to recreate.
I don't think a lot of it is aliens coming to visit from another world.
I love the ancient apocalypse theory.
Do you watch that show Ancient Aliens?
I don't watch Ancient Aliens because they get a little, I've seen bits of it but they get a little that shows amazing they get a
little too out it's amazing I love hearing the theories but for me they
always take it one step too far I'm like you didn't need to say that's what that
was I know cuz it's always it's always all of this like insane conjecture but
then throughout the episode it gets crazier and crazier exactly cuz it'll
start off like you know radiocarbon dating shows that they were building
these immense structures thousands of years
before they should have been able to.
Right, right.
And look at this stick figure.
And that's where I'm in.
I'm like, this is great.
Look at this stick figure.
Tell me that's not an alien.
Yeah, right.
Right.
It's like, tell me that's not.
Tell me that stick figure is not an alien. It's taller than the other right?
It's not that nobody knew how to draw back. Yeah, right that they were just figuring out how elbows worked. Yeah
Yeah, no
I love that stuff because just the idea that we don't have it all figured out and that there are some mistakes in our
Past line of history is exciting to me. Well, even with I mean, yeah, we don't have it figured out.
And also, like technology isn't like it's not like you figure something out
and then we just have the ability.
I mean, even in your own life, I'm sure you've done that.
Like where, you know, everything's on YouTube now.
So let's say your fucking laptop breaks.
You're you seem like a smart guy.
You know, your laptop breaks and you're like, well, I don't want to pay Apple
fucking five hundred dollars to replace the screen. screen. Maybe I can try getting a replacement screen
myself and see how hard it is to disassemble this laptop.
Totally. Yeah.
And so you watch a video, you watch the video, you do it, you do it successfully and you're
like, oh yeah, now I know how to open up a MacBook Pro and put a new screen in this thing.
Give it two years and you're like, where do you start? And you're like, oh, fuck it.
Yeah, absolutely. screen in this thing give it two years and you're like where do you start you're like yeah absolutely and it's like you know that's how NASA works you know like all the technology
we developed to go to the moon it's like the all those like rocket engines those like f1
engines yeah like hand built and it was like yeah by one dude who had the idea now they're
looking back 40 years later how the fuck did Mark do that we're trying to go back to the
moon I guess next year.
Yeah, I was reading about this for a while.
So the Artemis program, the Artemis program.
And you know what?
I don't consider myself to be actually prejudiced in any way.
I say things that are like, you know, rude jokes or whatever.
But, you know, it's I've always been like, yeah, I don't think I'm like prejudice.
And there's no like I've never been bothered before about like, you know,
the idea of a black president that doesn't bother me. the idea of a black president that doesn't bother me the idea
A black lady president doesn't bother me right
But then I found out with the Artemis program that they're sending a woman of color and a gay man to the moon
Specifically it's like they're casting survivor and that was the first time I was like
No
No, you know what I mean? Yeah, that's the. There should be one thing that white guys get to keep.
Yeah.
And it's the moon.
It's at least the moon.
It's the moon.
It is white after all.
We were the... That's ours. We were the only ones that went there.
Yep.
As soon as like... As soon as the civil rights movement started, they said burn the files.
Yeah, right.
We're not... We're not... We're never... Forget it. We're not fucking, you know...
Wernher von Braun was a Nazi. Let's destroy all of his work. Exactly. We're not going back know verner von brun was a nazi let's destroy all of his work exactly back to the moon
No one's going to the I mean there's all the whole conspiracy theory that we never went to the moon and all that stuff
And we can't get through the radiation belts and all that. I'm not sure I buy any of that
I mean, I think we went to the moon
I think NASA and the government is that is that the argument is that there's too much radiation there's the radiation is yeah
It's something sort of radiation belt that comes from
our polls and goes around and that supposedly you're not if you send a
human through that they would just die immediately but I don't measure that
level of that's what I'm saying something like you know because the
moon is a it's a six to eight day trip right to go up there and that level of
exposure it is elevated it puts you like you know
I think the number is like
Five to ten percent more risk of cancer over your lifetime sure it's not like you know being put in a microwave
Yeah, but I think like with Mars. I think that's the problem is because it's a much longer exposure period
Yeah, you're there for a long time and do the whole muscle dystrophy and all this other stuff that you have with being in space
But yeah, I just would you go to the moon if you had the option to absolutely fucking not
I
Don't know I think I don't think I'd want even ride in those you ever go to a building and they have like the elevators
Or you have to like close the door. Yeah, that's my building and yeah
No, I'm not using you don't want to get strapped into a rocket before they figured out what the fucking elevator
I'm not yeah doing the machines job, right? Right, right. No. Yeah, I don't know
I I do think about that cuz like I think about like William Shatner getting blasted into a rocket by Blue Origin just to like
Barely even leave the stratosphere and come back down. I'm like, yeah, how much riskier is that than just getting on a fucking Delta
flight these days? Or is it like, is it to the point where it will be routine enough
one day that it will just be like going to the airport and you just get in a rocket and
watch yourself to Japan or go to a space station hotel for a monster. Yeah. But is yeah. So
but right now it's like, no, it's way too crazy. There's no way
Yeah, I won't even get on most roller coasters
I won't like fuck and then I have to really ask myself if the rocket that's got the black lady and the gay man in it
We're to blow up
Right, you know, we're watching the I'm at a bar. Everyone's we're celebrating this Wow
We're finally putting a black lady in a gay man
Finally the rocket blows up and then I have to look around the bar being like oh no
What will my internal monologue be yeah, it's much it's less hard-hitting than the school teacher that died on the
Whatever fucking the challenger. Yeah, Columbia also blow up
Yeah, both the shuttles blew up. Yeah. Yeah, we also blow up? Yeah. Both the shuttles blew up.
Yeah. Yeah. We're we're pretty solid at blowing up shuttles.
It'll be interesting to see if we've gotten any better at it once we start doing
this Artemis thing, because you would hope with Artemis Artemis is more
privatized than the ones prior.
I think the space shuttle was that made by Boeing or is that I think so.
There was a lot of involvement.
I think it was one of those things like they were just trying to get every
space X is doing the rockets for
The Artemis program, okay
Yeah, I mean yeah there I mean if there's anybody who's done enough trial and error on their stuff
It would be it would be them it is still it still blows my mind that we can watch
I mean that we can just land rockets like it's nothing and that nobody thought of trying that for a long time
We were yeah launching well that I think they had to develop that
Specifically because there's like less gravity on the moon. So the lunar lander was like
Less of a struggle than for Mars because Mars doesn't Mars has like pretty significant gravity
Yeah, I mean, it's certainly a lot more than the moon. It's like maybe 75% of Earth or some of our yeah
I don't and that's why when we landed those drones on there
They just had like that big balloon basically that they just throw it into a
Parachute see there because there's no atmosphere right right right yeah
I mean, what do you think do you think we end up living on Mars in like a couple hundred years?
Do you think that's even an option or is this like just crazy because it just seems kind of silly to me to be like
We're gonna destroy this planet, So let's go to a destroyed planet
Yeah, don't you think it'd be better to just let this one get destroyed and fix this one
It'll probably be it's like looking at it like a car that needs like a new transmission
Yeah, and looking at like a Dodge Dart that's been in the yard for a hundred years
But we should go to fix that car in my mind. It makes more sense to like well
Shouldn't we figure out how to build underwater cities first? Yeah, if the world's gonna fly on eyes, Antarctica, right?
You know, I mean that yeah that and the fact that we can't do that
It's like, you know or sky cities like the Jetson. We can't have anything that there's still a consensus
I'm like what kind of pants you need to buy to go to Antarctica. You know, yeah
We seem very far from figuring it out. Yeah, yeah. North Face is just lying to everybody.
Yeah, it's fucking up to minus 50 degrees,
and you'll be fine.
And I watch dudes on YouTube.
They're like, this is not working.
I'm freezing to death.
Yeah, right.
So I would definitely live in an underwater city.
Yeah, I think that would be fun.
But it's also just as dangerous as living in space.
I would have to be drunk the whole time.
Oh, yeah.
Well, why wouldn't you be? I would have to be like the whole time oh yeah well why wouldn't
you be I have to be like something like I'm not gonna go down there and start
doing just like a weird homo that wears like tuxedos all the time I'm always
trashed they do need that because if it if it gets too formal down there in those
well underwater bases people get a little up and we won't deal with surface
dwellers they do need one guy in a tuxedo who looks like he's lost from his friends at a bachelor party to like reel them in
Yeah, yeah, you're just fishing out the window pencil mustache
Always touching people a little too much. Would you live on Mars?
No, I think it would be like I
Think I'd have to lose everything here
I would have to be like in a John Wick situation
where they killed my dog and my family
and I don't know how to fight or shoot guns well enough
to like fix it.
That might be John Wick five.
John Wick five.
John Morris, yeah.
He goes there, there's still a hotel with the guy at it
and he takes the coin, he gets a fucking ray gun
and starts shooting aliens.
Yeah, I think that would be probably the only situation
I would end up in trying to go to another planet is like I need to do
that revenge story and I don't have the capacity to do it so then I just leave
and try something else. Yeah it is it does seem pretty unfair and depressing
that like the other planets especially even the ones because more the moon I
get you know it's the moon,
whatever that makes sense that it's there's nothing there. Yeah. But more it's fucking
hard to get the Mars. I think there should already be like oxygen or something. Yeah.
It'd be like a pond. Yeah, there should be at least should be something like an ice skating
rink at least cold enough instead of the pond. Pretty fucked up that it's just completely
like, oh, well, we got to make an atmosphere. It's like that's
Yeah, and then there I mean Elon was like always gonna nuke the polls, and it'll be totally fine
I'm like that's what I mean. He says stuff like that and it's like
You just you just have a lot of money. Yeah
Ideas that like a fucking like that's what I mean if there's a dude working on nukes in his basement right now
It's it's Elon Musk. Yes, we made nuclear fusion. Yeah, we're going to
Nuke Mars trying to figure out how to get gay and black women to Mars be very good
Yeah, what's the thinking with that the nuking the pole something about pressure to create an atmosphere
The nuking the poles something about pressure to create an atmosphere
I'm too stupid to know what what it is But yeah something about it's kind of reignites the magnetic poles or something like that which would slowly make a man
I'm not the fear premise of the movie the core
They have to drill to the core of the earth and restart the because the earth is losing
Yeah, they have to go put something in the core to make it do its thing the poles wouldn't do it
You would have to drill to the center of Mars and then.
Yeah, I don't know.
I mean, it depends on who's doing more sound science,
Elon Musk or the producers of the core.
I think the producers of the core.
Yeah, they did.
The core came out in that.
And this is that I like to complain about this.
I remember growing up, you'd go see movies, right?
And the movies would just be they especially in the 90s they'd focus on you know those big
blockbuster movies the high concept movies where it's mostly just a story
they do no research into really the underlying thing you know you know like
Top Gun or whatever right they consulted with the Navy and then the Navy was coming in and being like
Well, that's not how any of this works, and they said shut up
We're just gonna show you out where our job is to make people like movies right you know like we're not gonna make the Navy
Look bad, but yeah, but that was still a big selling point of that movie. I think of like wow they worked with the Navy
Yeah, exactly exactly right but but point of that movie I think of like wow they worked with the Navy yeah exactly
exactly but but you know I you know people complain about it they'd be like
oh it's not technically accurate and then this weird era started of like well
we'll get a lot of consultants and we will make it technically accurate but
for the sake of like this now this is a boring movie this is a boring and shitty
totally I don't want wanna see a documentary.
I came here to watch Tom Cruise do something that,
fucking Terry Crews is actually the pilot can't do.
You know what I mean?
I would say, cause they did that with,
I feel like Interstellar was kind of,
now we've reached a better place.
But Interstellar was great.
Interstellar, yeah, it's not a bad movie,
but the way people were sucking that movie off for being like
Oh, and that's actually how it would happen. It's like I don't care. Yeah, also, you know, like you don't fucking know that
I don't yeah, I don't need it to be real right also
You're all I'm going to say when you tell me that is like
Well, no, it isn't
tell me that is like well no it isn't. No it isn't because we're not going through black holes to go to other. Yeah you'll you'll probably die. What are you
talking about. Oh yeah no. Matthew McConaughey. Yes you go behind your bookshelf. Oh we talked
to a guy in Princeton and said if you wanted to travel through time to talk to your bull
dyke daughter how would you do it how would you make that happen that was
very simple actually yeah yeah but that's where like but at the same time
some of the stuff the silliness in movies like that can take me out of it
like gravity that's what happened to me I'm like really we're just Sandra Bullock's
just flying around the fucking gravity but that's what I mean at that gravity I
thought was great because it's like visually very pretty.
Very pretty, very fun to watch.
And there are major plot holes in that movie. It doesn't make any sense.
It's like the whole premise is this woman's son dies and so now she is sort of static in life.
She's paralyzed by the death of her son or her daughter. I can't remember. Her child dies.
And she can't do anything. They present this character as if she's just been stuck
since since her child died and it's like
You're an astronaut in fucking space
What do you mean you like I just can't yeah, I've been able to peel myself off the couch
It's like you went to fucking space. Yeah. Yeah, like, you know know like oh, I just I don't know if I could brush my teeth
This morning because I don't have a child to smile at anymore well time to apply to NASA
Fucking PhD. Yes, I'll just do the hardest thing to do in a career
Yeah, my favorite part about is the movie opens on I saw when it came out
So I don't even remember if this is accurate so who's the other person in the movie George Clooney Clooney
Yeah, they're in space like outside of the ship, working on like the
space station or something. Right. And he just sort of floats up there. He's like,
so what's your deal? I'm like, this is the first time they're meeting. Yeah.
These people have never had a substantive conversation None of that until now when you're
Floating around in space together fixing the spaceship. Yeah small talk while you're just floating around in space
Yeah, pretty fucking wild pretty well
I love when I get just like it like indignant about something and I'm yelling about it and then my pockets are just empty
My pants are falling down. Yeah, it's a real passion that you have about Clooney.
I love this show.
Did you watch Biden's press conference last night?
I watched Bits and Pieces.
It was hard to stomach watching the whole thing.
I get so, like, cringe in my chest when he's going to say, he says Putin, I'm just like,
ah, you fuck.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, he delayed it for like an hour, so I ended up watching just CNN for an hour.
Okay.
And then CNN goes to Bakari Sellers.
He's like, I find it really disappointing that there wasn't more wagons circling around
this issue.
And then after the debate performance, all of these conversations were aired publicly
on News Network.
Yeah, yeah.
And he's like, and you got, you know, George Clooney writing this letter.
And it's like, what are the wagons in your mind?
What did Clooney write?
Clooney, because Biden's, I don don't know there was some kind I didn't
actually follow this story okay okay my understanding is that Amal Clooney
formerly known as George Clooney's wife okay Cluney she is involved in somehow
in the either the ICC case against Netanyahu or the ICJ case against the
state of Israel with South Africa or something I don't know because you see
human rights lawyer is which I guess is sort of like a hobby that she has outside
of being George Clooney's wife yeah and so she was involved in the case and the
administration like either rebuked the case or Amal Clooney in particular and then George Clooney wrote
some letter
or called the White House or something like that.
Okay. Yeah, Bakari Sellers was complaining that the
the wagons weren't circled and it's imagining some caravan that includes
George Clooney and Stacey Abram. Whatever is going on in his mind.
That there needs to be that level of collusion where George Clooney cluny and stacey abram whatever is going on in his mind that those are that
there's that there needs to be that level of collusion where george cluny
should have privately called him first yeah yeah for criticizing the president
very weird very weird I think that this is the best time to criticize a
president or a candidate I think he should have done SNL right after the
debate amazing if because even if he did terrible, he would be like, I was joking.
Yeah. You know, jokes, folks.
That's it's supposed to be funny. Yeah.
That would have been bulletproof.
That's why these guys are all idiots.
This should that would be like a day one answer.
Totally. You know, if I saw that debate performance, I'm sitting in the White House.
I'm like, call up Lorne Michaels, get Biden, have him host it now.
Yes. Record it now.
Make him do a parody of himself on the show
It's we keep him awake all night. Yeah, and by all night you mean until 830 p.m. Next time we have to yeah
You know we have to shoot SNL
Yeah, do not let that man get a wink of sleep make sure he is as as sundown as possible
Yeah, he's just dozing off and then so
Great be here on Matt TV.
I have my favorite. Well. Oh. That would have worked. Yeah it would work. People be like
oh he's joking. Oh he's. Oh it's always a bit. Yeah. Because then if we if he could
get that endearing like like a lot of people criticize George W. But he did have that like silly endearing quality to him or he was just kind of like
that little kid that was always around.
It's like, oh, look at him. He's doing that little laugh was like Biden doesn't have
that endearing like, oh, he said something silly.
It's like, geez, it's kind of concerning. Well, Bush was in eloquent.
But like Biden's like, it's very funny to watch that press conference.
And then you watch like there you read like print coverage and they transcribe what Biden said.
And it's like, I understand that was the thrust of the sentence.
Right.
It's not how it was said.
Yeah. Yeah. We're not doing exact quotes here.
This is doing this new thing now where he's like leaning in and whispering.
Oh, yeah. this new thing now where he's like leaning in and whispering oh yeah yeah I'll be like he'll be like they all said they all said that we if my planner was
gonna I was gonna then that inflation was gonna go that it was gonna be the
worst ever was and then I'll lean in I'll go and guess what
didn't happen he's like doing this you know but his body's too slow there was
probably a thing he could have pulled off 40 years ago
Yeah, or I think he but now he thinks he's talking at a normal volume and his hand his weird skeletal like romantic hand
Yeah, it's like coming up and he's like placing it like a claw over the podium. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah
I'm president United States
It is a whisper and sometimes it'll just go and yell.
He started yelling at one point about like gun violence.
Yeah.
Out of nowhere.
He's like, more child dies!
And then he just got quiet again.
That's fun.
It's fun that he's in charge.
I don't know what our options are.
I think like we don't know if anyone who's running is gonna be alive or free by the time the election
actually happens. So it'll be it'll be fun I think. I think it'll just be Trump
gets elected and then so. I think so. Unfortunately. Yeah he just does whatever
I mean investors tell him to do. Yeah I don't. It's pretty it's uneventful and my
only problem with. There probably would be a lot of you know just the violence like you said but yeah groups of people would be
riots and people will kill each other and totally and then Trump will sit
there and go wow that's really terrible it's awful it's so bad that people
that's terrible that they did that we're so sad about these people I had nothing
to do with it but these people they're so crazy these people. That's terrible that they did that. We're so sad about these people. I had nothing to do with it, but these people, they're so crazy these people.
Yeah. And then that's it. And we never hear about it.
I will move right on to the next thing and he'll say something crazy.
And yeah, my the only thing that affects my like day to day with Trump being elected
is people get like vilified against trying to find out if you're left or right.
How about this? We do Artemis. Oh, yeah. And they send them up there.
And then because of the riots, Trump doesn't let them come back. Yeah.
We're leaving the black lady up there.
We're going to leave them up there.
No. If any other gay people want to go to the moon,
we're going to do free signups for all the gays and blacks.
Fucking the moon. Say he's fucking.
He's fucking the moon.
We don't want that. He's having sex with the moon. We blacks. He's fucking the moon, say he's fucking the moon. He's fucking the moon, we don't want that.
He's having sex with the moon, we have pictures.
I don't know, we asked the scientist,
we think he gave the moon AIDS.
We're still doing a lot of tests.
It's hard to tell, moon AIDS is brand new,
it's a new science.
There we go, now we're cooking.
That's good, you got Elon, you got Trump, who else you got?
Uh, fuck. I mean, I do-
Do you have any, because obviously you do impressions.
I do impressions. I do more voices and characters than impressions.
Everybody that does impressions says, I feel like across the board there's people that
do impressions and like, you feel like I can do these because they're in the toolkit.
Yeah.
But then you always got one that's your like, that's you, you do this one.
Oh yeah. that's you. You do this one. Oh, yeah. Well, I, I the one of the first impressions I ever did was the David Attenborough from Planet Earth.
That was one of my favorite types of people when we're talking about planet Earth.
That's probably very accurate. I'm having trouble remembering what he actually sounds like, because my mind it's just I mean it could be Jason state
Yeah, any British person that and one I've been doing lately is RFK jr. Just cuz that's tough
That one's a tough one. You have to pretend like you're shaking while you're while you're talking
Yeah, as if you're getting pushed out a laundry basket down the stairs. There's
There's a there's like an additional there's something else about his voice. It's like every third word he's sucking in air.
Yeah, it's like that.
It's a lot.
That makes it very hard.
I can't listen.
I've never heard more than seven words.
It's hard.
I listened to his Rogan just because I was trying to figure out what this guy was about.
And if it was him being this extremist anti-vax guy that they say he is in the mass media
or if
he's just got but I had to break it up for three hours straight to listen to that.
It's a lot with the environment. It's crazy. That war is still going on. There's still
like people there's on one side there's still the like the pandemic is still going on. I
know. And then there's also the people that are still anti-vax
and it's like you have to understand people could be dropping like flies from the vaccine right now.
Right. And no one would care. Right. We've got bigger issues at hand. They're trying to put a gay
man on the moon. I know. I know. We need to stay focused on what really matters. I'm sorry but it's
what point do you say enough is enough? The gay and on the moon. I think is the line I think
And well once Bruce Jenner wants to go to space
I think people will really be that'll be the final straw is are they Bruce again or oh fuck yeah fucked up
There you go. You don't get no one who watches this shows clip it and ship it yeah
Yeah, I don't know whatever whatever they want to be I wound up on the on the
The penis making
subreddit the
Falloplasty because I every every once in a while. I'll check in and see how the surgeries are doing sure
Sure, and that's a good American shirt. They have
It's really getting close. Yeah, it's really getting close.
Yeah, it's really getting close.
They're doing impressive stuff.
It once they can figure out how to not like have to use half your arm.
Yeah, I mean, that's the crazy the amount that goes into making a dick.
Yeah, they're like they're like you would think it would be easier
to make a dick than a pussy.
Yeah, well, because you see these posts on that subreddit where it'll be the have their cock.
First of all, they're getting huge cock.
Of course.
There's a black guy on there that I mean, maybe because he's like black, they're like,
well, I guess it should be huge.
Just missing his arm.
They took the whole thing.
It's fucking it's crazy.
I mean, they show he's like just got the surgery done.
It's right post-op surgeries.
I mean, it's like. That's got a done. It's right post-op surgeries. I mean, it's like
This got a wrist. It's beyond like even an eggplant I mean, it's just fucking this enormous
Cock and then you zoom out on the picture and then it's it looks like the sex toy where it's just they've cut everything
Oh my god, just to make this thing
Yeah, I don't know if you could change your dick
Would you like if you had the option to go in and get that surgery for now? No, I'm too. I'm too old. I don't fucking care. I'm the same way. I'm like, yeah
Plus this is just my dick now
That's the nice thing about you get older and you start having like heart problems and joint problems
I realize like how fragile and irreplaceable every other part of your body is yeah
Yeah, and you're like I don't I would do the reverse if I had carpal tunnel syndrome
I'd say dude cut that off and put the give me another time
I know it works one way make it work the other give me a new wrist
Because I don't have any feeling in this finger anymore. Oh really yeah
It just went away on this side the nerve was compressed or something
Yeah
If we take a little bit of your dick just cut my dick off and get I want it I'm tired of getting paper cuts all the time. I can't fucking feel my hand
Yeah, it's just this is weird dull burning sensation whenever I do the dishes. There really is a subreddit for everything
Yeah, they go specific enough to watch people just make their new dicks. Yeah, there's fucking we're hitting every category
Yeah, yeah. Yeah. No, they've really dialed in and I remember I I can't
category. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, they've really dialed in. And I remember I can't, I feel like it's comics. I've heard this argument, or I used to see it on stage about like the
the trans surgeries about, you know, if that's fine, if you're FTM, like to get the phalloplasty,
but they shouldn't be allowed to have a huge cock. Yeah, you should have to have the average. And you're forgetting something. It's like, they had to live as a woman for 20 years.
Right.
Give them the huge cock.
Yeah.
What are you talking about?
Yeah, they know what they wanted.
They earned that.
They had no dick.
If you took some dick, you can get whatever size dick you want.
Right.
Yeah.
Exactly.
You know what I mean?
100%.
Yeah, I don't think there should be any restrictions. If there were to be one, I would say you have to do whatever the national averages of the country you're transitioning in.
That's what you have. You know, it's crazy too. And this is something this is something that they have that I think maybe it's a little bit of a bonus. This is where it gets into unfair territory. Their dicks get bigger when they get fatter.
Oh, because it pushes it out instead of absorbing it?
No, because it gets fatter.
Oh, the dick itself gets fatter?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, because they make it out of,
what do you call it, like adipose tissue or whatever.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So it'll gain weight also, so they get a fatter.
Oh man, I just had, I was picturing like wagyu beef,
like it's getting in between the muscle seams.
I'm like how long until that's a delicacy
in some countries, eating trans-con?
I'm telling you, I looked at this forum
and you gotta do some like 24 zoom in enhanced level
fucking pinching to really be like,
okay, I see where this is.
Right, right, right.
I see what's going on here.
Yeah.
You know, it's pretty, yeah.
That's exciting.
I mean, the idea that you could eat enough to give yourself
a bigger dick, I mean, I thought I was doing that for a while.
Yeah.
You know?
Didn't work out.
No, it's the opposite.
Everywhere but the dick, actually.
Yeah, yeah.
It really resists.
If you're a siss man, it's the opposite.
It's tough.
Yeah, for them.
Yeah.
Maybe we could transition, transition back, just
to get a fat-filling cock. Yeah, but you have to go the whole way. But then my dick would be unhealthy transition back just to get a fat filling cock.
Yeah but you have to go the whole way.
But then my dick would be unhealthy would have like a beer gut it wouldn't be looking
very very good or not that it looks great now.
I'm married anyway so it doesn't really get shown off.
It doesn't matter.
Yeah it doesn't matter.
Yeah yeah yeah I don't need a I don't need a cock transfer.
Yeah I don't know what's surge I got a gum graft that failed
a couple months ago. So you wouldn't have much faith in a... Well it's not that I
wouldn't have much faith I only brought it up to say that they have to like
reschedule it and they want to do it again and I'm like I kind of don't want
to I mean they said I should but... Yeah but they'll always say you should. Yeah.
The dentist will always say you really should take care of it and sometimes
they're right like I've not listened to them
And had like a tooth feel like it was gonna explode in my head and be
To do it they had to cut like a pretty significant portion of the top of my mouth
Yeah, I've had that done they take it off and they try and yeah to stop the gun from
Didn't get it's healed now, but I feel like that can't really feel it and it's kind of weird and I don't know
I mean, I Maybe it's like an emotional thing but after I didn't think about going in
I'm like oh this is the thing I need the same thing as if I needed a root canal
or anything else I'll just go in and do it but it's like getting it done it makes
you feel very like I felt very like vulnerable and like I lost something
sure it's like emotionally pretty tough yeah I don't know if I could really
handle any kind of surgery.
I've never broken a bone or anything. Oh really? Yeah I've never had to have any. I've never had any kind of significant medical issue. Yeah the only
significant thing I've had medical wise, like I had my tonsils taken out as a kid, all that shit. But I had an ulcer when I was 21. I had this bacteria called H. Pylori, which I guess a lot of people have yeah apparently now They're tying it to cancer and all this other shit if it stays in your body
But I had an ulcer like explode in my stomach
I was working at this in a conference center at the time and I was about to run this brunch for like 300 people
Go to the just feeling awful
I had like burps just tastes like death and I go to the bathroom throw up and I threw up what looked like
Coffee grounds like like used I had that I had that happen one time I
Threw up I drank a bunch and then yeah, I threw up like like little black flakes
Yeah, a little black flakes. It tasted like death. I was just like what is that and I googled it and it was like
Oh, you're bleeding internally. It's it's blood mixing with stomach bile. Yeah, that's like doing all that and then I
Ended up leaving work almost got fired for it. She was like, yeah
My boss where are you going? I was like, where are you going?
I'm like, I'm going to the hospital.
I think I'm going to die.
She's like, no, you're not.
I think I gave myself an ulcer from going to White Castle
one time when I was like 25.
Really?
Yeah, because it was like six months.
I would wake up every single night with this searing pain
in my stomach.
And I would have to roll over on all fours
to wait for it to go away.
And I could get back to sleep.
But it would wake me up every single night.
Yeah, that's what it was for me for a while. Yeah. I could get back to sleep, but it would wake me up every single night. Yeah.
That's what it was for me for a while.
It was like through the last couple of years of high school
and into college, it was just like the searing pain
right here.
There's nothing I could do.
No matter what I would eat, it wouldn't matter.
I went on all these crazy diets.
Nothing really worked.
And then eventually, I just said fuck it and dealt with it.
And then I was drinking a coffee in the morning,
and it fucking exploded.
I ended up in the hospital for like three days.
I had to get like five or six bags of blood put back into me and yeah it was it was
pretty brutal but yeah that was like luckily I was still on my parents
insurance because I was young enough at that point because if that happened now it
would be a fucking nightmare oh yeah yeah but there you can't I know it passed
in New York last winter,
but if you have to go to the emergency room for something,
you just don't have to pay the bill anymore.
Oh really?
Yeah, because they can't report it to the credit agencies.
Oh right, that's right, they passed that.
It'll go to collections,
and then collections is going to have to sue you,
but if they do, then you can just deal with that.
Yeah, and there's a thing with medical debt too
that they have to accept any amount of payment and if like
if you could only afford ten dollars and you try and give them a ten dollar
payment and they don't accept it the debt is forgiven yeah well yeah I think
you have to set up a payment plan yeah that's be like I can give you five
dollars every month right next 400 years yeah yeah yeah I mean it's getting to
the point now but it is bullshit I mean that shit should be free my buddy just
had a hemorrhoid removed that the surgery was
$84,000 yeah, he was billed. There's no there is literally no argument against
Just making it free. Yeah, I mean the the argument that is given is that people don't want to pay for other people shit
But there are even really how taxes work
No
No that people don't want to pay for other people's shit, but they're already doing that. That's not even really how taxes work. No, no.
The government prints money to buy all the stuff.
They set a budget and then they print all the money to pay for it and then you use taxes
to take money out of circulation.
Right, right, right.
So it's like it doesn't make any sense.
Yeah.
Just make it free.
Just make it happen.
It's also, it's like, it's not a system that anyone can really take advantage of.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Of all the entitlement programs,
it's the one like, not that I'm making this argument,
like you would have to be pretty sinister to do so,
but you could say like food stamps,
it's like, well, yeah, food stamps work,
but they shouldn't be able to get dessert.
And it's like, they shouldn't be able to buy ice cream
with it or, you know, stuff like that,
because you're an asshole.
But you can't even really do that with free healthcare.
They're like, oh, what?
They can just go
They could just go get an appendectomy. Yeah for fun. Yes. What are you talking? There's very few people
I mean, I do know some people who are always sick that they always have something going on
That in and of itself is a medical condition
If you go into a doctor several times and you don't have something,
it should be on the doctor to determine, okay, this is psychological.
Now you go talk to a psychiatrist.
Now you go talk to a therapist for free to resolve this issue.
Right.
You know, it's like...
And it's a way to, I mean, as far as like big pharma goes, you would think they would
be the ones that are up in arms against it. They're still going to get paid.
Yeah.
And you're going to be able to get all these pills to way more people than ever that wouldn't
have even had access to going to the doctor and getting the pain pills now that you can just fucking shovel it all down everybody's throat
There's more money for everybody, you know, yeah
But yeah, I mean it's getting to the point now at eighty four thousand dollars for a hemorrhoid surgery
You're almost cheaper to fucking go to medical school
Take most of the degree learn how to do it yourself and do it in your fucking bathroom. Take the hemorrhoid off yourself. Yeah
Yeah, that's another thing. I I don't think I will ever know if I have a hemorrhoid. Either I've
never had a hemorrhoid or I've had hemorrhoids my entire life. Yeah, that's how I feel. I'm like,
there's something, there's something, it's a mess back there. Yeah, right. And then, and then,
and people are like, well, you can look. I'm like, what do you, how? Yeah. How many mirrors do you
need in your house? What? Yeah. You need that like Egyptian setup where they put light in the bottom of the pyramid through
nine mirrors just to look at my asshole.
To divine.
And then I can figure out when Ra's coming back.
Yes, exactly.
At the same time.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'll never look at my asshole, I don't think.
No, I think, I don't think there's a need to.
Yeah.
Plus that's why I have a wife, you know.
She can take a look if I have any real dire medical situations. I think that's why we developed bipedalism.
I think that's why humans got smart.
I think we developed bipedalism first.
Yeah.
And then you couldn't suck your own dick or look at your own asshole.
Yeah.
You see those monkeys.
Well, I got to figure out something else to do.
Yeah, exactly.
And you're like, oh, I'll make a computer.
Right.
Right.
Right.
That is a lot of the progress.
I'll invent the iPhone.
If you can't suck your own dick, you get a lot more done than if you could.
Yeah, right. Dude, Look at those monkeys in the zoo
They're just sitting there jerking off onto the fucking glass screen. Oh shit. My stopwatch turned off Pete. Oh
Shit well today's episode is brought to you by blue chew
Which that's not what this is blue chew. You ever use blue chew. No, I haven't not yet blue chew
Well, I got plenty of them if you want you want to try it out. Give it a rip on my pregnant wife. Yeah Kill your baby. Yeah, go see if I haven't not yet. Would you well I got plenty of them if you want you want to try it out Give it a rip on my pregnant wife. Yeah
Kill your baby. Yeah, go see if I can't hit the
Please review the entire document for an update on do nots. All right, so
Okay, I Okay. Okay.
So what Blu-chu is, is it's a chewable pill,
and they have three different, it's not one medicine, it's three different medicines.
It's Tadolaphyl, Sodeninophil, and then there's a third type and broadly speaking I think they're all vasodilators
or they they do what like they maybe it makes more NOX in your blood or something and then
maybe that's what the I don't know how they work but in general there's three types the
tidalephyll is the one where it's like,
you can kinda just sort of take that top of the day,
and then it just is like a general thing,
whatever you need it.
The Tadalaphil is more like, I gotta fuck now.
I'm in Vegas, I've only paid for 30 minutes.
That's what that one's for.
And then the other one I think is for liberals.
I don't, I'm not sure.
I don't really have too much information on that one.
Right, that makes sense.
I imagine it's like if you wear khakis and you have like a boat that you're restoring,
you have like an old sailboat that's your thing and then sometimes you and your wife
go out on the big tree swing together.
Yeah, if you tie a sweater around your upper neck.
It's for coming in your pants to your wife you know, your wife is addicted to crossword puzzles
That's fun and has fun purple glasses and a Jamie Lee Curtis haircut. Yeah
That's multiple flower tattoos. Yeah. Yeah that one's who's that for? So that's for the old folks
I'm assuming the other ones are for young guys that are just looking to take some pills
Yeah, just trying to add to that regimen
Yeah, right. Let's let's own him with the vitamin D3 and everything else and just pop it tastes good it tastes like Smarties I
gotta do that I keep coming back just for the taste that's got a you know fuck
up the next few hours a day but they added stuff to the do not so I don't know
if I'm supposed to say this or not but I think there is some evidence that for
Tadala Phil like a, just taking it regularly,
is like, might be good for your vascular health in general.
Oh, okay, just to keep blood moving through your body.
I don't know, yeah, I've had issues
with like high blood pressure and stuff,
and you know, I'm not, look, I do the best that I can.
I went to two cardiologists and they're like, you know,
either you can get on medicine or just try to cut out the,
not so many, not so much salt
and you know red meat and stuff yeah you're like keep the salt keep the red
meat and just add a chew into the mix see if you can't just walk around a lot
of beets and grapefruit I think that yeah that helps but yeah they work they're
great and it does it makes you I don't know all the dumb shit in there about
like you're gonna be killing it in the fucking
Bedroom oh yeah, okay up your performance today with blue chew
We don't need to explain what dick pills are now everyone gets it you guys understand how they work
We knew it from the Viagra commercials people sitting in bathtubs on the
Lawns this stuff is better though because it's not as embarrassing as the older
the older yeah, yeah, it doesn't have the
the kind of connotations that you have with like a Viagra's like an old dick guy pill.
Yeah, it's for Bob Dole.
Right, exactly. It's like, dick don't work, Bob Dole needs it.

suggestion to Bluechew, is part of this deal. You should send the sampler pack with like the three. Yeah, because if you really, it's
got to be a thing where you kind of like have to feel the difference between. Yeah, you want to see what each one's doing to you in a
day to day. Yeah, because my personal experience, I don't particularly like the Tadalaphil, the Sidenaphil, and I
might be confusing the two. Does it make you feel weird like in your head or your body?
One of them makes your entire body like swollen. I might have had an allergic reaction. I might
be on it right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I remember it's like my dick was hard but also
my nose was stuffy. Oh, interesting like it was like like just swollen. Oh interesting
But then the other one works exactly the way it's supposed to yeah, okay
Yeah, so go there experiment figure out which one you like they got like different options
They have they have funny names for the different subscription tiers
It's like the casual and then like the player and then the pro pack
The probe which that's got to be
short for prostitute yeah that can't be professional which also the same
yeah exactly all pros but that one it's like it's like 90 pills a month or
something Jesus dude no it's it's it's like 26 it's one for they program in
like maybe one or two days off but good yeah let's get every covered days when you're training that hard I tell you have all the things we've been a
longtime sponsor of the show there's good folks over there we've done business
them for a while I say on the back end they're a trustworthy company yeah and
certainly on the front end as well so if you're interested go try it out you know
you know you never know what you might find in life. Yeah, let it fly.
Yeah, and we're back.
And we're back and we're discussing
the tragic, heartbreaking news
that the Biden administration has decided
to put a gay man on the moon.
Yes, and we're fed up.
Yeah.
We were hoping for more white men.
And there's only so much that you can do with a...
I'm just imagining, we see the first moonwalk, this guy, what are his wrists doing?
Yeah.
Well, I mean, at least on the moonwalking, it's kind of like skipping anyway.
I know, right.
So I think that's...
How bad is that going to look?
That's going to be...
We'll be the laughing stock of China.
I always love it when people say that, either about Biden or Trump.
They're like, China is laughing at us. It's like, I don't think China laughs at anything. No, I don't think most
of them speak English. I don't think they know what's really going on. I don't think China is
laughing. Also, their internet's pretty restricted. I don't even think they can see most of what's going on.
Let's be honest. We have done a lot of laughing at China. Oh yeah, yeah. For most of the 80s we were really...
We've been laughing at China a lot. I don't really have they're like what they're laughing at our president yeah it's like we've laughed at basically
every piece of their every occupation that you could have we've had some sort
of saying any part of China has been a subject of ridicule yeah popular
American right what we said about nail techs alone in this country could be a
company to what we're saying about the president. Yeah, it's equal. It's fair. Yeah. Yeah
Now what that is one thing that China would not do is put a
They would either put they would never put one gay man on the moon. They would put all of them or none
Yeah, I don't I mean I
Don't know what's the state of China space program
Probably pretty hard to find out. I think they probably keep that pretty close to the chest.
I want to say they're launching satellites all the time.
They did something recently.
Maybe it was India claimed to put a guy on the moon.
What if China or Russia, they also have a secret moon program,
our gay guys end up there at the same time, and they fall in love?
And they never want to go back.
And then it solves, it creates world peace. guys end up there at the same time. They fall in love. And they never want to go back.
And then it solves, it creates world peace.
I don't know if that would create world peace.
I think a bunch of Christians would be like, there's gay guys fucking in the heavens. Get them!
What if that's the answer to all of the world's problems is letting two gay guys fall in love on the moon?
And that's the new livestream like the 1969 moon landing.
Can you imagine how mad Italians would be at that?'s one small step for man more so than Christians I
think it's like Italians the wife beater gold chain Italian guy leaving his pizza restaurant
the end of the night he's wiping his hands in the aisle and he looks up at
the moon he's like he's fucking disgusted you gotta be fucking kidding me
this is fucking disgust Luigi, look at this.
They're fucking right there on the moon.
Yeah.
I can't stand it.
I might even be looking at it.
It happened.
They gotta go to the dark side of the moon for that.
You wanna fuck on the moon.
Do it on the Pink Floyd Pie.
Do it on the Pink Floyd Pie of the moon.
Yeah, it would be tough to fuck on the moon.
It'd be like fucking on the beach, I think.
You'd get sand in there.
It would be a tough time.
It is funny, too.
And I'd said that I offer the disclaimer if I'm not racist, but maybe I am.
I don't know.
When I, when I imagine, because I know it's not the case, but they're like, oh, they're
sending a black lady to the moon.
I imagine a black lady, you know what I mean?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
It's like, like Wanda Sykes up on, you know, with mean yeah yeah yeah it's like at a central like
one the psychs up on you know with an attitude yeah right yeah yeah and it's
not that at all it's probably some severely autistic woman that was raised
by adoptive Korean parents and went to Harvard and has never had a day off and
yeah yeah yeah yeah it would be much more fun if it was like somebody they
just took right off of like Maury or Jerry Springer and just
Put them in a spacesuit and sent them to the fucking moon
I'm a gay guy that they just pulled out of a club one night. Yeah. Yeah, that's them
That's the real what you want to watch
And then you just get any captain of a football team white guy to go in and try and lead them and nobody gets along
That would be they really got to make sure they don't die on that trip
Yeah
It would be tough because all the conspiracies will come out and be like actually one of the guys who worked on the space shuttle
Is a racist homophobic piece of shit and he actually a lot of people say he didn't screw it in tight enough
So that they would die. Well, yeah, I mean they would just say Elon Musk. Yeah
Built the rocket. I'm sorry. I don't I told him no gays and you know what's funny that will happen if the if this does blow up or something
People will legitimately say that
Think like they will honestly think that yes, Elon Musk would spend billions of dollars building a rocket
Just to kill to kill one of each
Believe that I well I watch. I watched a guy, I was walking down the street and a cyber truck came down the street and
I watched him fight his initial reaction because he was with his kid and he goes, oh, whoa,
look at that.
And his kid's like, wow.
And he's like, oh no, son, that's Elon's.
We don't like that.
Boo, Elon, boo.
And I was like.
They did that?
Yeah, he did it.
I was like, he was like trying to get people around him to like boo the car.
I'm like he was like trying to get people around him to like boo the car I'm like for what you can't just enjoy the fact that there's this crazy looking car driving down the street that it looks like it
Shouldn't exist. It looks really stupid. It's silly, dude
It's so silly to turn a trapezoid into a car and pretend it's awesome
It's like it's taking like design cues from like
Outdated stealth technology. Yeah. Yeah yeah it looks like the fucking
Nighthawk yeah you know and it's like well we don't even need to build self
fighters that way any right right we know yeah yeah exactly so but it was
funny to watch the guy resist his initial reaction like oh that's cool
that I'm seeing one of those but oh wait we don't we don't like that son to like
just his morals just because he read an article about this guy that says he's racist or some shit
Yeah, I'm not an EV guy. I don't really like I don't I mean I don't have one. I drove a Tesla once
Actually, I actually shit myself while I was driving. I was going I was in LA
No, I was it was a rental. It was a rental and I got like a free upgrade
Guys next to you it's like look at the screen. It's 18 inches. Yeah
What's that smell you're like? Oh, it must be the electricity. Yeah, I don't know. It's an event or we're at a risk probably
No, but I lithium I use the auto drive feature on the highway to wipe my ass
How does that work?
Like I always carry like some baby wipes in my carry on when I'm traveling.
So you put them all around the tire and then you fucking jack the car up?
I was on the highway so I just put on the fucking self-drive mode. It stays in the lane
and I'm fucking scooching the chair back getting in there trying to do it.
Now see if you had died doing that, if there were like some fat white retard was wiping his ass and
And died and we could get away with killing a black lady on the moon exactly would be balanced in the universe right exactly
But since I lived you know you know knows we'll take one of theirs and we'll take one of ours exactly
I've heard I technology yeah, right, right
Yeah, no luckily. I lived and you remember that
story like now 15 years ago about the astronaut love triangle no there was two
astronauts that were like married or something okay and then the male
astronaut was having like an affair with a different lady astronaut or maybe it
was like the one guy was fucking another guy's wife
the whole point of the story is that one of the astronauts drove multiple states away to do this
like quick overnight killing and get away with it so they would have like an alibi because there's
no flight logs right they drove and to make the drive all in one shot they wore their special
like astronaut diaper so they could shit and piss themselves while driving
Which it's like you had to get gas yeah, yeah, you could have stopped
The pump going wear a mask and walk into the bathroom. Yeah, what are we talking about?
What a crazy solution to not only to go to kill somebody but to kill somebody with a diaper full of shit is a pretty wild way to
Get your first murder done. Yeah, I'd want clean pants if I'm killing somebody I rewatched Apollo 13
I think I said that at the beginning but I put that on
Apollo 13. Yeah somewhat recently. Yeah. Yeah, it's great movie. That's great. Tom Hanks is great in that
Yeah, yeah
It's one of those ones too
Where you they really talk about things that are like earlier where we're like oh that was realistic and they did it
right. That was one where they stayed towards the realism and it actually I liked it. Oh
yeah. Because it is kind of a documentary in a sense. It's like that mockumentary. Yeah.
You're like watching through the whole thing. And what is. Yeah. Because I watched it as
a kid and you're like oh it's a story about a space flight going wrong and then they can't
go to the moon. That's sad. Yeah. But it is. I mean it's better that that happened.
Totally. The actual story is so much more impressive than going to the moon. Yeah and
it does building a junkyard spaceship like you know. Yeah yeah. It's crazy. And it does
leave you like one like that feeling in a movie like damn like that's what me makes
a good movie is when like you feel like it's gonna go one direction and then it doesn't you're like, oh, that's fucking great
Like that's like you want them to land on the moon
Even if you know the story or don't you're like, oh, they're gonna they'll figure it out. They'll get there
They'll maybe they'll die on the moon
But they'll at least get to touch them and then he doesn't and he just has to live with the orbit and going back around
This is yeah, I do like that in a movie where it doesn't just I think that's why I don't fuck with the the Marvel movies as much
Is it just feels so cookie-cutter that like even when it's all against all odds. It's blah blah blah blah the good guys win
You know yeah eventually even if it takes two movies eventually the good guys win where I think some of the best movies is the good
Guys don't win you know you look at that the rogue one Star Wars movie
It's like shit like that the rogue one is that was that one in between that was the one in between that is the only
Star Wars movie I like yeah exactly as it ends with everybody fucking everyone
dies they miss they accomplish their mission but you don't get to have that
I said he gets the girl I said that before that's the only Star Wars movie
that I'm actually like oh yeah this is yeah it's great and this is they came
out with this I think the Andor series is similar to that as far as like they they fuck around a little bit more
But that now they've like I I have no idea what's going on with it
I haven't paid attention at all, but like the Star Wars IP they call it
Yeah, it's so stupid to begin with totally that there's no way it is not
Absolutely fucking with all right. It just gets going it's got to be terrible. It gets real
it's like every other show they put out as unwatchable
silly like a
Eleven year old girl is out running three grown men through the forest like shit like that
We were just like man coming up with aliens has got to be like to create like the laziest
Yeah, creative work you can do yeah, yeah coming up especially because anything prior to 1980. It was just like okay
Well, this one's he's not Chinese, but he's Chinese. Yeah, this one's a Chinese clearly Jewish. Yeah, these are clearly the black guys. Yeah
Yeah
Did the Star Wars didn't have black eyes though not until the new era they added what are the black?
Oh, no, they had oh not they had black in fact the only science fiction
Yeah, but he's a black man. Yeah, he's a black guy
Yeah, I don't I mean the only science fiction I can point out where there is a racial stereotype of an African American
That's like supposed to be an alien is the Transformers movies. Okay. There was like the dudes like doo-doo and mudflap
Yeah, like these two like clearly
Their names are like skidmark and Caca.
And they had gold teeth and monkey ears.
And the teeth were like getting loose.
And they'd be like, damn, Bumblebee,
when'd you get them wheels?
And I was shocked.
Yeah, and it just is.
Because the movie came out in like 2007.
Right, right.
And I was like, we're about to have a black president.
Yeah, they were trying to squeeze one in before.
Yeah, this is from like the 1940s yeah yeah that's fun but I think with stuff
like Transformers and stars they'd have so much so many rules to follow when
you're making a new one that you kind of have to like those guys are probably
characters in some comic book or whatever people are watching this and
they're saying Jar Jar what about Jar Jar Jar Jar is Caribbean
Josh has clearly Caribbean he's not he's not an African he saying Jar Jar what about Jar Jar? Jar Jar is Caribbean. Jar Jar is clearly Caribbean. He's not he's not an African. Mesa Jar Jar Binks!
He's not he's not I know the Mesa makes it a little bit kind of a slave thing
but he's supposed to be Caribbean. Yeah he's a waterer they live underwater. He lives
underwater he's got the style of like a Jamaican guy. Yeah yeah the floppy ears
may as well be some dreads tied together in the back yeah yeah yeah exactly right oh boy yeah I'm trying to
think they don't they really don't have any no I don't think so not not as far
as you'd be like oh that's definitely the fucking yeah what are they doing
here in the way that that like Lando's co-pilot might be the worst of all of them. Yeah.
That like the Vietnamese fish guy.
It's pretty tough, dude.
At the top.
And that's the guy you take with you to blow up the Death Star.
Yeah.
You know?
Han's like, take my ship and take care of her.
He's like, oh, no problem.
I'll find the most Chinese pilot I can.
Yeah, let's get incognito with this Chinese fish head pilot.
Oh, okay, okay okay that's all
he says we are having a problem okay okay okay like this guy's not Japanese yeah yeah
made a sushi this guy's not Japanese yeah I don't think I can I can pinpoint any of
them yeah that is I mean oh I guess we should get plugs out of the way because I haven't
been on the show in a while so I don't know how the ticket sales are doing.
But I will be at Hyenas in Fort Worth, July 20, either the 26th,
27th, 28th, or 27th, 28th.
I don't know.
But it's a tiny room, and it's a lot of fun.
We had a lot of fun last year come out.
That's a show I'm looking forward to.
And then I will be in September at the Lincoln Theatre in DC and the Wilbur in Boston one night before the other
I can't remember the order you go to mall dog slash live shows live-shows
If you want to get tickets, I think those are close to sold out
They're talking about adding a second show, but nice personally. I would like to cap it. Have you done the Wilbur before?
I did the Wilbur last year. it was a lot of great yeah yeah
that's awesome yeah I'm all over the road I'm doing Zany's in Chicago comedy
vault out in Batavia House of Comedy Minnesota and a bunch of other stuff so
drewduncomedy.com for all the dates at drewduncomedy on socials for all the
other content you do ACME no I haven't done ACME.
Yeah, no, the House of Comedy people
have been really good to me.
So I've just been doing their stuff.
But that said, it's in the Mall of America.
So it's a totally different.
I've been there.
I know, yeah, I've been to the Mall of America.
I've seen the club.
Yeah, I've heard great things about the ACME club, too.
ACME's great.
Yeah, yeah, that's awesome.
No, Minneapolis got a good comedy scene out there.
It's a great city. I love Minneapolis. Especially go to Madison. You're right in that's awesome. Now, Minneapolis got a good comedy scene. It's a great city.
I love it. They go to Madison. You're right.
I was always sour on the Midwest, if only because it's like
it's just in the middle of nowhere. Yeah. But especially I mean,
the comics talking to comics out there and them having to do eight hour
drives to do bar shows when you first get started is like crazy. Yeah.
Texas is like that, too. Yeah. Yeah. I was in New England. It was all two, two, three's like crazy. Yeah. Yeah, Texas is like that too. Yeah. Yeah, I was in New England
It was all two two three hours or less. Yeah
But Minneapolis is a great city. Yeah. No, I love it. Yeah. Yeah, it's great. It's interesting
It's a shame that the entire city was burned to the ground. Yeah, I was there shortly after that
I was in like there in like late 2021 and dude
It was like it was dystopian to a point where if you've ever been to the downtown
And dude, it was like, it was dystopian to a point where if you've ever been to the downtown Minneapolis with all the
Skyscrapers and shit like that almost all of them have sky bridges
Connecting the thing and you and then you go down to the street and it's like a totally different world It really feels like wow the upper-class rich working people up here and then everybody else down on the street
Oh really? I guess when I've been to Minneapolis, it's been such a ghost town downtown
The first time I saw those sky bridges, I was like, let's go.
Cause I'm an idiot.
So when I go on tour, you know, it's like, oh, you should do something so that you don't
get depressed in the hotel room.
But then the stuff I have an interest in doing is like, it's always dumb.
You know?
And I end up just like going to Barnes and Noble. But I saw. Right. But I saw the sky bridges and I was like, let's fucking go.
Yeah. No, it really like people will drive into that city park, get into their building,
go to five other buildings and never actually be in. Yeah.
But you have to know how to navigate them because I did one sky bridge up in a lobby
with like five escalators right nowhere. Yeah. And then it's like it's all.
And then you go in those places and all the stores are like like off-brand
subway you're like in a GTA game you know where it's like Sonora's pizza yeah
places to buy stamps and yeah babies yeah companies that you're like how are
you still in business like what is the rent on this building that you're so on
nine beanie babies a week and
still paying rent?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was in Columbus in a big or either Columbus or Cleveland or I was in Ohio somewhat recently.
I forget.
But I stayed in like a hotel that had was like in one of those conference center hotels
where it connects underground to all the other hotels., the same thing very depressing. I really hate being in hotels away from home. It's tough
I mean, especially when you enjoy your life
Like if you like being home you like being with your friends or family or whatever it is
Yeah, like, you know, I've I love being at home and that's like the other thing too. It's like, you know
I've I love being at home and that's like the other thing too. It's like, you know, I've been skipping The pod like the I have I've been doing like I mean I've been doing things but just nothing publicly sure
Almost a month and it's the best I felt in a decade. That's great. Yeah
Yeah, I know you got I just took this whole past week off
So like I just took like ten days didn't do any stand-up didn't fucking look at
Text messages or emails or anything like that
I just fucking locked it away and because you can get so burnt out of anything. And
I think like for me taking that time and coming back, like I'm excited to do shows again.
I'm excited to write new jokes and do the whole thing where if you just stay in that
day in day out grind, like I think sure, like that's the culture where you got to hustle,
you got to work out, but you are squeezing a sponge with no fucking water left in it that you gotta fucking fill that thing up every once in a while
You know you just go crazy like you don't have to have this hustle culture and comedy
You have to have moments where you can put it on and really drive the boat for a while
But then you also have to be able to like reset. Yeah, well, it's the intersection of like everything is like a
Gig economy and also you have to be like a fucking influencer or whatever.
I know. And I resist that.
I don't like me. I don't like who I am. I don't want to have to sell that to people.
You know what I mean?
I don't want to have to put every one of my thoughts on the internet at the moment I have
it and then just look like an idiot two days later.
I used to sell shitty cell phones and then I sold shitty cars and now I'm selling a shitty
person and it's the same feeling. I just don't want person I just don't feel like you're getting one over on
Just don't go to go somewhere else, please leave T-Mobile
Yeah, yeah, what are you doing for lunch
Not the plan right now. Yeah, I'm gonna try and get back in the gym. I've had I say that, you know
I mean I did I have there's been a lot of
There's been a thing I've been working on a lot. So I have I've had a
Three yeah, probably three weeks off from the gym now and I'm disappointed because I finally got like I didn't say I'm 35
So yeah, I didn't think I'd be able to like get a regular gym routine back. And I did this year, and I feel good.
I got fatter, but I was also working out again.
Sure.
Yeah, I do way better with the gym when I'm on the road.
Because I mean, I played baseball my whole life,
and I played through college and stuff.
So I just got so burnt out of the workout regiment
that once I started working a desk job and doing comedy,
which now I just do comedy.
But the desk job is like death for your fuck.
Going from being an athlete to just wanting to get a cookie
halfway through your day so you don't wanna fucking
jump out the window and kill yourself
was like a hard transition for me.
Yeah, I mean that's like,
stand up and podcasting might be
the least physically active job.
You have to force yourself to do it.
And that's for me.
I know I'll feel better after I work out.
I got a bike, so I'll bike around.
That'll be a good workout.
Just go to the park and do that.
But yeah, it's hard, man.
I have to really force myself to fucking do that shit.
But I'm way better on the road.
If there's a hotel gym, I'm there.
To have to go and put all my shit on and walk to the park or or go, you know
I have a lifetime fitness membership and that helps a lot because a lot of like they have a sauna. It's nice
Oh, that's great. Love a sauna when I would go I would take Racine on the like the road
We would go out together and then we would do the hotel gym. Sometimes. Yeah, no, it's Mike's getting mad that I fucking
Says it's very fun. Like, you know, we'd be like, yeah think about maybe you know hitting the hotel gym
I go down there with them and he would have his like ill-fitting workout clothes. Yeah that were from
From two mics ago. Yeah, Homer Simpson body
You're making me feel worse about exercise
If this is what it leads to, let's just stop now.
No, Mike's, he's in great shape.
I don't know.
His clothes look good.
Yeah, he looks great.
Love Mike.
Shout out to Mike Racine.
Yeah.
Yeah, man, I don't know.
The fitness stuff is fun.
It's like, I get in a routine.
I get locked into stuff. and then once I break it
What was the last time you played baseball and I mean in any regard like batting cages?
I just went to the batting cages for the first time in a while
When I was in Colorado
We went and did like some you know mini golf with a couple of my buddies that live out there and they had like the little
Fucking put a quarter in throw ten pitches at you kind of thing and that was fun before
that I had there's this adult men's league once they do they play every
Sunday up in New England so if I'm up there doing shows I'll link up with them
I've played like one game a year with them over the last few years kind of
thing and that's fun but my body really hard on your body your body? Because I was a catcher for most of it.
So that's what I like to do.
I enjoy doing that, putting the gear on,
and following the game, and talking
shit to the batters and the umpire and shit.
That wrecks me.
My knees, my hips are fucking ruined.
Yeah, it's great.
I got a bag of balls two years ago.
And then me and Adam and some other people,
we just went out to Prospect Park.
Just did like home run derby.
That's fun.
The next day, I felt, I feel like whatever,
however the bones between your forearm and your upper arm
connect, it like was separated.
Right.
It was like, just from throwing the ball around.
Because it's like this novel movement that in your head,
you're like, yeah, I did this when I was eight.
Totally.
And we also forget how sore your arm was back then if it was
your first if you're in the routine of it you get used to it but yeah I go
pitch a hundred pitches your arms fucked yeah I feel like it's my yeah the the
the connective tissue is dried out but the flip side of that is also you're
like I am a much stronger as an adult than I was so totally do things with way
more force so't even you know
Yeah for me it was like my arm was always my like a strength
I had I was I struggled to be a good enough hitter to like play the at the next level
But I'd like I had like flavors of or a taste of trying to go pro with it
Like when I was in high school, I would I would bullpen catch for the Toronto Blue Jays double a team
Which is cool, New Hampshire
So I'd go from my high school practice
Go up to the stadium change in the fucking
Utility closet and then go sit out on the bullpen and talk with the guys and warm dudes up before they went into the to
The game and shit
So that got me a little bit of tension on like the scouting side of stuff
But I was just never a good enough hitter to hit at that next level. So halfway through college
I switched from catching to pitching.
And that just fucked my arm up.
I just said that because it's a whole different motion.
You go from throwing like this to like a nice long.
What is it about pitching that all pitchers end up
needing surgery at some point?
Is it the mechanics of the movement itself?
If you don't learn proper mechanics early on,
you're just putting pressure on some point in your body
that's going to fuck it up.
And it's just repetition.
Especially in my generation coming up, it's like now it's all pitch counts. Like when
you were in Little League now if you watch the Little League World Series they all have
pitch counts. So like the pitcher is not allowed to throw more than seventy five pitches. Yeah.
Pulled out after that. Back in my day there was kids throwing one hundred and twenty pitches
hundred fifty pitches a game just because they were the coach's son or the best kid
on the team or whatever. Yeah. And then that kid needs Tommy John surgery by the time he's fucking you know 15
Yeah, and what do they actually do with that? They reinforce a ligament or something from your
Ankle or your knee or something and they put another ligament into your elbow. Yeah, it's an elbow thing
My my problem that I had was my shoulder
So because it was a different arm motion and I was going from throwing like, you know,
20 hard throws a day down to second base to, you know, 100 per day.
I basically just started having this like shooting pain come down my arm when I'd warm up
and then it would go away and I'd be like, all right, that's fine.
And it would get worse and worse.
It would take longer and longer to go away.
And then my velocity was going from like, you know 80s low 90s to like you know low 80s
I could I just couldn't throw the ball hard anymore go to the the PT people and all that and
Basically my back muscles were wearing out so it was no longer holding my shoulder blade
Against my back those muscles wear out because they're tired scapular dystrophy is something like that
And they put all it puts all the stress on your tendon
So there's like four major tendons that connect all
that and I could feel them they were so swollen I could pick
them out individually it was it was wild and then I had the
option I was going into my it was like fall of my senior year
of college I just transferred from a D three school to a D two
school and I had the option to like red shirt for a year do
another year of college which I already knew I wasn't going to
use my fucking dumb ass marketing degree
because I was going to school to play baseball.
That was the objective.
And then had the choice, yeah, red shirt or just quit.
And then just said, fuck it, quit.
And started doing standup like two, three weeks later,
something like that.
Oh, cool.
Yeah, yeah.
Very nice, yeah.
You gotta be careful of those novel movements in your 30s.
Totally. Same thing happened, I got to be careful of those novel movements in your 30s. Totally. I did the same thing happen
I went to Dave and Buster's and just did the super shot or oh, yeah
It is and then yeah, I was younger too at the time. I think I was like 26
That's funny cuz Dave and Buster's got me too cuz they have the fast pitch
Yeah, where you can just throw the ball down the little tube and I remember waking up the next day
I'm like what the fuck happened my arm and it was just yeah it's just from that yeah just 12 basketball shots
yeah I mean I would stay in the gym I've been in the gym mostly like through my adulthood
but it's the motions that you don't normally do that fuck you up yeah so if you're only
you know lifting weights a certain way over and over again because I'll do the algo play
like long toss with my buddy and just play catch and then the next day your arm just
feels like it's a thousand pounds like there's nothing you can do yeah I
did for a while there was a there was a Boston comedy co-ed softball league when
I was coming up which was fun so it was all the comics from the New England
scene would just come together we had like five or six teams we'd all just go
play together on Tuesday nights that was fun slow pitches I can still get into a
little bit because you can just fucking whack the ball there's no pressure like
what really amazes me and I don't think this is a thing anymore this was more of
like a Brooklyn thing maybe 10-15 years ago but like the guys that moved to
Brooklyn to get a job advice who would have their midlife crisis and then
start skateboarding again oh that's great I'm like you're begging for
something yeah your knees are gonna go yeah something's gonna explode and
you're not gonna be able to be back on the board in three weeks like you were when you were
a kid. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This could be life changing injury for you at this point when
you're you know high 30s low 40s and you're fucking dropping 10 feet just so you can hit
the rail or what you're fucked. What do you. What's the point. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I get
if it's fun you're you know you're doing little things here and there You're fucking around hitting little rails and shit
But to go to like a skate park and try and hit a halfpipe when you're in your 40s is so crazy. Yeah. Yeah
Yeah, I don't know how they do it. I mean, I guess like what Tony Hawk still
Skateboards and he's 75 years old. Yeah, how many dudes do you think thought they were gonna get the video game by now?
You know like they were gonna do a different one yeah well they thought like maybe alright Tony Hawk
will have his era and then I'll finally it'll be fucking Bob Burnquist it's so
funny because that's just the parallels between that and comedy and yes like
that's the most depressing thing about there's never been more opportunity but
it's also it's like every new opportunity has like such a small window
there's like a million tiny windows totally well our celebrities don't fucking die anymore
They all get healthy and try to live to be 150 years old well
That's that was the other problem to like this is more of a problem prior like ten years ago in comedy was is that
You look at them. It's still some clubs now you look at their calendar, and these are the same comics
You were booking every year yeah 15 years ago, right now
I'm not gonna make an argument because those guys got bills to pay.
Like oh well kick them out and get somebody new in.
Especially if the somebody new is going to be like the I guess now like the there's like
some girl that went viral for talking about how she fucks or something.
Sure.
They're like booking her to do an hour in comedy clubs.
And it's like that is a level even beyond the TikTok thing because it's like this was just someone that was caught in a viral
Moment, right like the tick-tock people at least they've been producing content, right?
They've been they could go on stage and say hey remember this video that I did. Let's watch them. Yeah, you know, it's like hey
I'm the person from the article totally like how long till the huck to a girl's putting out a fuck
That's what I mean. That's doing it. Yeah. Yeah
Like how long till the Hawk to a girl's putting out a fuck? That's what I mean. That's yeah. Yeah. Yeah
Yeah, but at the same time it's it's a business it's all money They're just trying to they're like, oh, we're just trying to get eyes on this if we can say we had the Hawke to a girl
Yeah, and I'm not saying like oh don't book her over me. Sure. Sure, but
You know what it comes down to the agents really the agents it's the salesman that's going like we can make some fucking money off
Yeah, yeah, let's get her in you know
I'm just trying to make a counter argument to saying you know talking about clubs still booking the old comics
You never get out, but with like the window thing
It's like you know was podcasting like when we had successful come town people be like would you do and I would be like
I'm gonna be completely honest with you. I have no idea right right don't know yeah
Anybody tells you knows what they did they don't yeah like you know they're looking backwards and figuring out what they
Oh, yeah, that's what we have in the moment
You're rarely that calculated still talk to agents
And they'll be like you got to be doing crowd work clips, and it's like no you don't no you don't the guys
It figured out the crowd work thing there's like that's you know they got it
They got their market one or two you might have a clip go viral or two,
but that doesn't mean it's gonna change your bottom line
or your ticket sales.
Like, yeah, totally.
Yeah, yeah.
And it is.
It's about, I mean, we talked about this a little bit,
but it's like, you gotta just put your head down
and make what you're gonna make anyway.
And hope there's enough people that enjoy what you make
that it turns into a career.
And if not, be funny enough that you can do cruise ships
until you die or kill yourself.
You know, like, that's.
Yeah, my thing is more, I would rather do the stuff I enjoy
and then if it's not lucrative, then, you know, I mean,
I don't even know what it would look like,
but I would rather just go get a day job.
I would rather hate the thing that I'm doing if I had,
there was no possibility that I could ever like it.
So you'd rather like, instead of like having to do,
you know, live in Vegas for like five years
or something like that, because you got some show going on, you'd rather like go work it. to do you know live in Vegas for like five years or something like that because you got some show going on you'd rather like
yeah I would literally rather stay here and just work production on commercials
yeah yeah yeah that makes sense yeah especially when you can have an actual
career like that on the back end rather than like having to go work at best I
did it I PA'd but through doing this I've like met enough people and like I
have enough knowledge that you know my I could that
those jobs don't pay bad right in production on commercials there's always
plenty of work and they pay the bills it's yeah hopefully I don't have to do
that but you know yeah that's always the goal but it is nice to have a baseline
and I think I think that both like that motivates me to want to work harder
knowing that the alternative is not what I want so it was actually kind of when I
start because I used to I would like PA on commercials.
I would just drive camera trucks and stuff.
Yeah.
And the guy I worked with, the guy who got me into it,
he was a comic.
He moved to New York to do comedy.
But PAing can actually be fun, especially on commercials,
because it's like the investment is low.
Commercials are shot in three to five days.
Right.
And it's a very fast-paced work environment.
Everyone there is essential, more or less. I mean, people count on you. So it does for those
three to five days you're like, yeah, let's get this done. Let's work hard.
Let's, you know, and you can see the end of the road of it right there. Exactly.
Long productions, 12 hour days of nothing. And it is fun and it's always different and it's
like, you know, even though they're commercials, it's like, oh, sometimes
there's like a celebrity or, you know, you're working on this, you're watching, especially, you know,
like, like the, the grips or the camera department figure out
some kind of creative solution to something. It's,
it's cool to watch.
It's different problems every day. And yeah, yeah, yeah.
But the trap with that, especially,
cause I would recommend that the other comics I'm like, look,
this is good. It pays 200, 250, sometimes $300 a day.
Yeah. It's like, at the time my rent was nothing.
It was like, I was paying four 50 a month. Amazing. And so, you know, it's like, I'd work six, seven300 a day. Yeah, it's like right time. My rent was nothing It was like I was paying 450 a month amazing
And so, you know, it's like I'd work six seven days a month and my rent would be covered and then you know
everything else is bonus, right, right and
Because it's fun and there is a path forward to move up it's like I knew at the time it's like I can't I can't allow
Myself to move up because then you're trapped then I'm yeah. Yeah're trapped. Yeah you're in. Yeah I feel that I have to I
mean going from baseball this I function working towards some impossible dream
that I need to have that be my thing because if I just go oh I just got to do
this job for 25 years and then I can retire and chill like I'll go crazy I
can't function that way I have to be scheming and trying to figure out a path through
something to achieve hopefully something new something fun something exciting that
I'm not just locked in like everybody else yeah that's the right mentality to
have and then I think broadly I think that's probably how everybody works I
think a lot of I think that but I do think a lot of people,
I don't know if they're tricking themselves
or if they just have a little differently wired up there,
but they can lock into their job.
They find passion and love in their job
as remedial and pointless as it can be.
They find joy in the relationships of their coworkers
and things like that,
that they can actually find true happiness.
The way that I feel satisfaction in pursuing this, they can find that satisfaction in their life.
But that's what I mean.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, I mean, it's like those people aren't settling for, because there's people that
find that being a social media manager, you know?
Right.
So like you talk, you talk, I've met social media managers, and not so much anymore, but
like, you know, maybe 10 years ago and
You talk to them and they would all be like it's actually really exciting, you know
Engagement and figuring out what works and getting people to engage with stuff right in your head. You're like, oh you must be lying to yourself But no, they really believe no
They really do have a passion for that finding out that that's their puzzle for our puzzles trying to figure out how to make something
Funny or great their puzzle is how do we
optimize this or make it look right yeah yeah yeah well that being said anything
else you want to plug social media stuff no yeah just follow me online on social
media at root on comedy I post new videos every week crowd work jokes
podcast shit all that yeah come see me. I'm touring them for most of the summer and then I got my first kid coming in October
I'll figure it out boy or girl girl. Okay. Yeah, and are you're deciding that you're not you're yeah, I'm letting her know
You're a sinister. I'm raising hopefully a lesbian you could say you could make the claim that you are an abusive father so far
Yeah, I'm really fucking her up. So I'm whispering all sorts of hate speech through the belly.
You have a name?
Yeah, I don't know if I want to tell people.
Oh, that's all right.
I'm sorry.
I don't want to.
No, no, that's fine.
I told my parents and then they got a dog and named it like sort of close.
That's so annoying.
And I'm like, what the fuck, dude?
My parents buy a new dog every... They have like six dogs right now.
They raise seven kids. They finally have like two kids left in the house and they was like six dogs right now. They raised seven kids
They finally have like two kids left in the house and they buy six dogs name is spot. Yeah
Come on. Yeah, well, I was gonna name the kids nobody's doing name was gonna be spot
No, they named the dog Ollie
All and the girls the my daughter's name is Tony Hawk. It's Tony Hawk. Yeah
So I wanted to be something. Yeah, right. Yeah, okay. All right. Yeah, I understand. Yeah
Yeah, no, so I'm excited for that I'm excited to be a dad man
That's cool next next stage of life and it for me too
It's like when you're doing this world the creative world
I always felt like choosing this path was holding up the rest of my life as far as like I'm I can't afford to do this
I can't afford to do that, I can't afford to do that.
And now to have things come together enough
where I can have a kid and feel like I'm not fucked
is exciting.
That's awesome, dude.
That's good to hear.
It's more, yeah, that's the right path.
Yeah.
Congratulations.
Appreciate that, dude.
