Third best is actually something that just happened to me about an hour ago.
Pretty solid.
Pretty solid.
It was very supportive.
So I'm at the gym, the gym that I eat at.
Doing his Kegels.
Doing my Kegels.
And I'm about to take a shower.
I got my towel on, just a towel, pretty sexy.
And there's this guy there, it's me and this guy.
And he comes to me and he goes, hey, man, keep up the good work.
And I go, oh, this guy likes the videos.
Standard stuff.
You know, he likes the podcast.
And I go, great.
And then there's like a bit of a pause and I go back to doing my thing getting ready to shower and he goes so how much weight have you
lost i go what i don't i don't know if anything you gain i actually was like that's what i go
kind of up a bit he goes ah keep up the good work and then i walked away i go oh he doesn't know who
i am he just was and he was fat he was a big guy he said i aspire
to be you you know a gay podcast you go no no a guy who loses weight i guess i guess he's right
he put you up to tear you down i guess i maybe part of me should have because he's obviously
on some sort of weight loss journey so i should have been like used to be 400 pounds man you can
do it you can do it that is i should have yeah i should have been like you can do it man someone goes up they
go hey hey what's up it's you you go what and they go you the guy who stood in front of me at the
line which i you ate the last twinkie i was getting in so i before we get into it the the
intro catch-up session. I was on.
So I'm in Santa Barbara all weekend.
Oh, yeah.
How was that?
I haven't seen you since then.
Yeah, I'm at a wedding, right?
So a couple takeaways from the wedding.
But more importantly, the United Airlines.
You know, there's a reason why so many comics in the history of time end up airline specific.
Because you take these airlines, and it's insane what's going on there so because of covid united airlines is probably one of the worst experiences in my life
and i say that every time i fly on their america for me it's american and united are by far the
two worst airlines it's a fucking joke and i've never fallen spirit because everybody like you
got it but they're a bunch of hosers over there a bunch of hosers so this is what happens you get
there and you it's a five-hour flight or whatever and you are uh it's a four and i take connection and they
go to buy food you go you go okay i'll order some food i'll get a drink and they go oh you have to
sign up for this app and you can't get the app in the air you can't get the app in the air and then
i go oh okay i'll go on my phone and get the app or whatever. And then you try to go five, 15 minutes of internet,
but the plug doesn't work, right?
So they're like, well, if you can get it on your phone,
I go, my plug doesn't work.
They're like, you should have charged your phone.
I go, well, yeah, I'm an hour late
because my last United Airlines flight was delayed.
So I get off my delayed flight, get to the place,
try to buy food.
You can't buy food.
And then on top of that there
is this element of like they're like oh i guess all the plugs are broken you go in what other
imagine you went to a hotel and they go all the outlets just aren't working and they go oh you
know what happens if you get a taxi you basically get an uh you can get a phone charge for your
phone every time and they're looking like i'm being unreasonable like it's like the broken
window thing where they just go hey i don't know they're all broken I'm being unreasonable. It's like the broken window thing where they just go, hey, I don't know.
They're all broken.
But.
Nobody goes to fix them.
So is your plane broken?
Am I in a broken, the last place I want there to be malfunctions right and left.
And what other place would you get, would you buy a service, rent a car and you go,
hey, all of the, like the radio doesn't work and all this stuff.
And they go, oh my, like unreasonable.
Yeah, they go, oh shitty.
And you go, what do you mean?
Oh shitty.
And they're like,
well,
you should have known that you had to sign up for the app.
I go,
yeah.
Who knows that?
It's a four hour flight,
especially you go to a four hour flight.
You're expecting to do some work and whatever so that you can't get on the
internet because that doesn't work.
And then the,
uh,
the plug to charge your stuff doesn't work.
And they're looking at you like,
Oh,
like I'm being a carrot.
Yeah.
You're being like a total,
they've been like, they're looking at you like, oh, like I'm being a Karen. Yeah, you're being like a total. They've been like, we've been through so much as flight attendants in the last year and a half.
Even though now you're trying to take me to my chair because I want a working plug.
You probably like got to the hotel and you just watch like compilations of fucking flight attendants getting assaulted just to get one back.
You go, yeah, that's what they're thinking.
Good guys.
I go, I'm like, OK, well, why don't I give you my phone and you can charge it then i'll do it and they're like oh we can't take your
property like and i go well then have a working plug then find me another place where i can put
my plug yeah and that place is delta airlines yeah it was a two lot but our takeaways from the
wedding is um did you was at any point when you got hungry enough because i know you get when your
blood sugars drop where you're like kind of
you get panicky.
I was panicky.
I was testing.
Were you going to be like
start finding someone
who had the app
and just give them cash
to buy something?
That's what I did try to do.
That's the first thing
I tried to do.
A couple people beside me
I tried to do it
when no one was interested.
People were
Because they think
there's something
scam going on.
I did have
I was getting in
confrontations all weekend.
I had one win where I made a whole scene.
So this lady comes on,
she was like an old lady,
right?
Was it when they go,
does anybody have any objections?
Yeah.
I was loving the idea of objecting to the wedding,
but,
but that,
so there's a,
there's a lady on the plane.
Oh,
the older lady.
And she can't find a thing for her bag.
I eventually find a spot.
She's coming on
late behind me we're all late because our other united connection the pilot was lollygagging i
guess yeah so we and then uh basically there was a spot but all you would have to do was move this
bag so i go to this old lady i go you know i'll i'll uh help you find a place so i take this
lady's suitcase and then i move one other bag over and this lady sitting down gets up and she goes, can you not move my bag?
And then I'm like, so, but because everyone was kind of watching at this point, I made a whole, I basically played dumb and made a whole scene.
And I was like, yeah, you could probably put it here.
But this woman says she doesn't want to move her bag over.
She likes the spot that it's in so i mean maybe i maybe we could store it at the front or whatever
i mean this would be a good spot but this lady's very against moving her bag i'm not really sure
at this point like 40 people are watching and this will be everyone in the planes looking back
at this lady and she's like oh she doesn't want to move it i go i don't know i asked her she sort
of got mad about it. And this lady.
How old is she?
This lady.
The older lady is 75.
Nice.
And the younger lady is 50.
Okay.
So the 50-year-old lady has a whole spotlight on her that she didn't want to move her.
Were you considering calling her a Karen or you're like, that's overdone.
We're not there yet.
Are we not at the point of calling her a Karen yet?
I was making a whole stink.
And then eventually she was bullied into moving her bag because there's such a spotlight on it.
And when she did move her bag, it took two seconds.
And my attitude was, oh, see, that wasn't really so hard, was it?
And you could have just done it for her.
Yeah.
So exactly right.
Yeah.
You were kind of being the gentleman.
Be like, oh, let me rearrange this.
Every wedding, by the way, has its cliche guys.
And it feels like if it doesn't have the
cliche guys people fit that role so there's a legitimate vacuum it's it's i think people
within five minutes there's like a a two drunk uncle who's walking around bumping into people
there's just like a like a baby uh walking you know dancing on someone's shoes the passive
aggressive girlfriend who's like basically going to everyone,
being like, oh, Myra, I'm up next.
There's the girl that's sort of too drunk,
and she's a little sad that she should be married.
Yeah, she should be married,
and she's really putting it out there for everybody,
but not to her boyfriend.
Yeah, I was loving the idea that they came with the hall.
So you rent a wedding hall, and they're like,
do you want a drunk uncle?
We can have him say a couple slurs if you want to throw an extra 40 in it's like we'd send the baby
out you want us to send the you want us to send the toddler out to dance i love how in your world
the slurs cost more instead of less oh that's what i was loving the idea of the we're you want
the uncle to be racist that's good guys if i did for diet of the idea of fucking the like the edge
lord comic doing the
corporate and he's like you know uh and uh we have tiers of blackface paint that i could put on do
you want a turban that's an option like sending the package for you to do a corporate super
professional edgelord yeah yeah he's so he was you know and then he cancels the gig and he's like i
am gonna have to charge you for the paint that i did use that is the expensive blackface paint but i was loving my favorite thing was uh when uh open bar if you're
at yeah yeah if you're at a if you're at a wedding with a chick and she's being annoying calling her
guests wedding guest zilla just keep calling her get wedding guest zilla santa barbara by the way
is uh and which i thought i was going to san Diego. So I've been telling people for three weeks.
I'm going to San Diego.
Yeah.
My chick came out and she's like, and everyone's like, oh, you're going to San Diego tomorrow.
And he's like, did you tell everyone we're going to San Diego?
I go, maybe.
Yeah.
That's it.
And, um, the Santa Barbara is like a time capsule to 40 years ago, a little, not 40
years ago, like early two thousands.
So no, everyone dresses like early
2000s okay and it's the whole vibe right surfers and stuff like yeah surfers but yeah no one's
updated and one of the things that was interesting to me is when i went to some you know i went to
like a reggae bar kind of reminded me of my my roots you know what i mean yeah yeah and then a
lot of these people there their attitude in places places like that is very, instead of being like,
sir, can you put your mask on?
Their attitude is way more,
sorry, dude,
if you're going to be in the line,
you got to do it.
Which makes you go, okay.
Uncle Sam wants you to fucking,
we got to,
you don't want to do this.
And it was interesting
because the same way that
we've been talking about how,
you know,
with, you know,
a lot of the, you know,
black and brown people don't want to
get vaccinated and all that stuff it's like all of these people have lost the fucking san barbara
hippies they've lost the california hippies the grateful dead hippies yeah like fucking black
dudes they've lost so many people in all of their also the all the freedom people hypocrisy it's too early for more hypocrisy
but the SoCal
hippies were all against this shit
and then my last takeaway
which was you know because I know we have a lot
of fans that I think our main demographic
probably is like 20 to 40
so it is kind of all in that pocket
but probably half under 30 or whatever
and it was interesting because there's a lot of people there that pocket but probably half under 30 or whatever and it was interesting
because there's a lot of you know people there that were you know 25 26 27 and it did remind me
that this is at the wedding at the wedding yeah and the you can tell that everyone's having sort
of especially as some people get married earlier so many people in their like 20s to around 25 26
i think panic really starts to hit people in their 20s and i
think that i think that 25 to 30 is the worst period for everyone because up until that point
it's kind of like you know all of your decisions don't seem that important and then when you hit
25 it's like that's when people start getting married that's when people start for sure the
relativity thing where you go yeah relativity everybody's just kind of a child until you've
been done college for a few years or you've done high school for whatever amount of years
if you're not and you start it's like when your friends stop like quitting drugs and like you
know you have that first friend who's like you know i'm going sober now and you're like
yeah and you really you're like i'm gonna drink more if anything people start wanting to
tick off the boxes too right because it's like it's almost a rush to get life done 25 to 30
really feels like a rush i think people have this idea that it's a there's uh it's like a bit of a
musical chairs thing where like there's gonna run out of chairs and you're going to be left standing yeah but that's not the case at all but i think people think that they do think that and they
also think and they're right to think that because everyone in your life is kind of saying to you
you know when you're when you're 25 the big conversation from everyone is very much you know
like when you get married like are you are you thinking about
having kids who's who you with what do you do for a living like what do you want to do for your life
it's all that right and then by 30 no one does that anymore also you've had in your friend group
a few of the people that were happily married or getting divorced your your friend that had this
job there's like they were popping off they came out of college they had this big job now they're
making 100k and they're 26 and it seems like they're killing it now they're making 130
and they're 30 and they're you know you don't really hear from them too much anymore they're
like yeah i just go to work it's the sort of uh the honeymoon of anyone that's you know specifically
fast-tracked is kind of over yeah everybody starts catching up and yeah yeah well as anyone that kind
of started really
into their career at 21 around 30 it's like they've been doing it for nine years any sort
of spark of that's worn off they're just in yeah there's no excitement anymore and i really think
at 25 people get together and they talk about what do you you know what your job is what your
plans this is what i want to do by 30 ish i think really i have friends that you know if i get
together with my old friends, some people are
really successful, some people aren't. No one
really talks about it. No, no, no. Yeah, exactly.
You talk about other shit. Yeah, you talk about literally anything else.
You might talk about your chicks and stuff like that, which has no
bearing on, you know, how good people are doing.
No. And even then, you might not, you know
what, you might not even talk about that stuff that much.
So I think that, I think 25
to 30 is the hardest part.
And I think that if you are 25 to 30
i feel like knowing that you it kind of feels like oh it just uh it's like this forever like
i'm in this fucking thing it wears off it does wear off no that is very accurate 30 is a liberating
age yeah you kind of are like whatever you're doing you're doing if you were doing something
you don't like it's a little bit like i, if you're still trying to finish that college degree at 30, that undergrad, and you go, ah, this is the year.
You're like a real Van Wilder vibes.
Maybe 30 is not going to feel so good.
Yeah.
But for the most part, yeah.
You go 30.
What's the difference of now and 39?
What's the difference between like 24 and 30?
It's like enormous.
A lot, yeah.
Well, I mean, literally the percentage of your life is greater
um so i think that that's used i think with a lot of 25 to 30 year olds they're in very like
it's a very hectic mental time you're just constantly at war with your own brain what
was the age of the people something like that 26 or something both of them same age yeah um
what so moving on from the wedding the the uh moving on and moving out yeah
yeah this this is probably i got some sense and pretty good stuff this week and there's like so
much to go through but this is diversity spaces so germany they reserve so they've they're they're
they've gone like full to prove that we're not you know bad yeah yeah remember
that holocaust thing yeah yeah so they're pretty on the make it up for it and they're pretty on
the forefront right yeah but and you know at the boys cast some of our favorite things for the boys
is uh the the intersectional car crashes of who's you know and who's bigger who's better right yeah
so diversity spaces germ Germany reserves park.
Germany, like some lots there,
they've reserved parking spots
for LGBT community and immigrants.
So now there used to be wheelchair spaces.
Yeah.
It is interesting the kind of progression
is because at first they go,
you know what?
Disabled people,
someone saw a disabled person
like, you know,
trudging through a parking lot
and they go, you know what?
We should get them closer.
That guy might be good with the spot. We should get them closer to the entrance right and then
someone saw some pregnant lady you know walking and they go oh you know what she's pregnant she's
struggling to get in let's get her just came let's get her just came let's get her a spot
and then now in like literally they're just treating like um immigrant or like a gay person
as like a disabled person well their sort
of argument you know when they go through it the people that say it in their mind these people are
just getting attacked right and left yeah and the way to help them is to get them prime parking
spots so they can get to the door quicker because if they have to walk from the back of the parking
lot they're gonna get gay bashed right that's that's yeah it is so funny you think they did an analysis they go look 99.7 percent of all
the gay bashing done in this garage happens in that back corner yeah so we got to get them away
from there i would have thought that fat people were on the come up quicker you know what i mean
no but there's also next there's also so much funny about parts about like so that just the
first thing is a car park in germany decided to show its support for the lgbtq community and migrants by painting rainbow flag on one of its walls and reserving the
parking spots and there's a so i this was the car park doing it but the the reason i said the
authorities is because all of the the mayors of the you know the whatever the politicians have
been coming out and kind of saying this is like the blueprint for what we should be doing.
Yeah.
But the funniest part to me is like you, you know, let's say, for example, you, you take the spot, you know, you take your gay spot.
How can they confirm?
Well, for sure.
Like you get the knock on the window.
You have to have a gay star.
Put your window down.
I don't know.
License and registration, please.
And you show them your stuff.
They go, you know know you're parked in a
gay spot son yeah yeah and then you've got to think fast you go son what do you mean son don't
assume oh yeah yeah you gotta like you gotta be really quick on your feet with this i've got son
the guy in a wheelchair like okay now question this is a bit of a callback to a previous episode
can you say you're demi romantic that's a big question can you be like yo i'm fucking demi yeah oh my god that's so sorry you thought i was
kicked out of the space i don't know oh my god you don't know that i'm demi romantic
i'm demi but uh a guy in a wheelchair he's getting uh taken out of the car put in the wheelchair
and then like the parking attendant coming up you better fucking have sucked a dick pal i love the idea you have to have on your phone
a picture of you like smooching a dude yeah i like getting a ticket for not being gay enough
this really reminds me of like i read this i go this is gonna be canada in not that long we go
we go oh i fucking out on the weekend. I got an $85 ticket.
What for?
Not being gay enough.
Would you be in trouble if they said,
they say, hey, sir, this is a gay spot.
The really gay spot's over there.
These are the gay spots.
The flamboyantly really gay is over there.
The funniest part, too, is you go,
some new family that just arrived from
afghanistan you go yeah go park in the rainbow spot there and they're like what well we're
immigrants too so do we get this yeah that would be so great you know an old man in a cane and like
his pre and a pregnant woman walking from the back and like so long suckers to the immigrant
spot it's funny what they think immigrants' problems are,
the hierarchy of immigrant problems.
They're seriously like, we have 9 million problems
that are ahead of getting prime parking spots.
First off, we don't have a car because we just moved here
and we're displaced from Afghanistan.
We have $10.
So really, car's not in our future.
But when you do get a car When you do get a car
We gotcha
The person
Coming through
Pregnant, and you're getting out of there
Because you immigrated from Canada
In the LGBTs party
That better be a surrogate, baby
That better not be a man's baby
Also, 90% of girls
Identify as bi, right? yeah so it's like you know
how like 90 of girls especially in college so it's basically like a college girl parking spot
parking spots for college girls college girls and gender studies well authorities hope this
would earn them praise for the act locals have called them out for alienating other groups but
the city counselor thomas um marlock said there is nothing more important than setting an example
of tolerance and that which is which i think that does a good job of explaining the point of view
of these people that there is nothing more important than, well, for example,
a pregnant lady getting to having a,
not having to walk through an entire parking lot.
Well,
that's not as important as us setting an example verbally.
Yes.
With some,
with some bullshit that doesn't help.
But also,
gays are in shape too.
I know.
Well,
some of them are,
but giving like equal at like saying hey
everybody here's a parking lot just take whatever parking spot that's available is not intolerant
yeah it's like you're you're assuming when you say this is tolerance you go
so what is intolerance in parking the intolerance just general parking dude they legitimately think
these people are just getting attacked right now one thing their argument has to be one thing i
will say is surprising is that it was a dude whose idea this was you think this is a girl idea i mean
it's a guy that's you know pandering to women i guess this is pretty like i guess it's true he's
probably a german trudeau but it's interesting that you know when
all these uh practices and you kind of there's there's such like a people brought up the idea
that everyone that claims to be against you know kind of authoritarianism they're always pushing
these authoritarian policies or whatever and it's funny because we're reading this article about china and it's so funny
the idea that they're doing the exact same thing over there but just for different ideals and most
people would look at so we briefly mentioned this but it's official and we're going to talk about it
so china bans video games for effeminate males basically in their in their thing a leaked memo revealed
beijing no longer views video games as entertainment but instead of as a form of
art that is responsible for promoting the correct values and understanding uh a history and culture
but they basically said they're banning any video games that have any effeminate males remember
too we're like chad's only every chick in a video game had just like huge cans and then girls were
like hey that's all women aren't like that and then they made them and now they're like all right
well china's going back to the cans back to the cans so but but they're saying they're going you
know going to all these people it's kind of like here where if you turn on any channel they're saying they're going to all these people. It's kind of like here, where if you turn on any channel,
they're kind of saying there should be more dudes in dresses.
And China is saying no more dudes in dresses.
No, thank you.
But it's legitimately the exact opposite.
And they were saying that.
But it's funny to watch these things and go,
well, the principle only applies when it applies to my value structure.
And I think that's how so
many people see this the one thing too with the china thing is like at least they're a little more
consistent than the germany thing the germany thing they're just doing this shit on the fly
they're like oh like whatever gay fucking parking spots whereas in china they're this kind of fits
in with they're like yeah we have a model of how we're trying to plan this society stuff deviates
they have a model of how they want to plan they're trying to course correct you i see what you're saying yeah well
they've had a longer track record of i guess this but they do still they both have a model of how
they want to see society one is you know slightly more traditional and the other is i guess it's
reactionary in the sense it's like our model of how we see society
is we want just you know no more
dudes. What do you think
in China
their stance would be on gay parking spots?
They would say only parking
spots for chads.
It's like if you're a chad
you get a free parking
spot. If you go to the front like
this is what they're saying there's no simps in video games.
So basically they go,
you can't,
you can't be in the video game.
If for example,
you're just like a,
if let's say there's a couple that are in a relationship and you're
pretending to be the friend,
but you're actually in love with her,
you're out.
You can't be in the video game.
But if you,
if you actually do just go steal the guy's girlfriend,
like a Chad,
like grand theft auto style.
Now you're allowed to be in the video game. Or like if auto style now you're allowed to be in the video game or like if you smashed you're allowed to be in if you smashed
no it's so funny too i'm like they're talking yeah we're banning gay relationships from video
games i'm like man i'm so out of the loop of video games i'm like there's gay relationships
in video games now i was like i haven't played video games probably like i don't know 10 15
years i'm sure i don't know what's it's the exact opposite of going here it's like they're censoring all the stuff they don't like it well there's
probably all sorts of things right so i mean that was the original person that they pissed off it's
like kind of the same thing where we're talking about now where they're pissing off you know
the california hippies they're losing yeah it's even their original group that they lost was the
gamers yeah and they because if you're not if you're not, if you're not really, if you're just some politician.
The gamers who wanted the cans.
Yeah.
The gamers wanted the cans.
Gamers wanted the cans.
And then they go, you've had enough cans.
No more cans.
Yeah, if you're not paying attention, you don't realize how big, you know, these groups
actually come.
They're all, they're like unions almost.
Not unions, but they're like, I don't even... Not even voting box is the right word.
But yeah, they do...
Hysterical mobs.
Social power.
Yeah, absolutely.
Because they're united, right?
So there is some element of just losing all these big groups.
They're like...
Groups have their individual influence in certain ways, right?
But if you look at
how much people would hear would be for all of everything they're doing if you just switched
the things that they're banning um also making cans mandatory make well they actually did make
that's one of the things they said but it's
funny to think of like if you were gonna be in the video right like if me and you were in the
game yeah yeah i like the idea of them having like a panel of just chinese bros like deciding
whether you're fucking masculine i actually was reading this article dogs from china how many
people work in the censorship industry in china oh Oh, so many. That must be one
of the, like, you know, biggest
industries in the whole country is just censorship.
Yeah. It is.
It's like a field if you go to college
there, yeah, to be a censor. You gotta fucking watch
everything, play every
game, like, watch every website.
But I will say to you
that we have,
not only do we have our censorship actual censorship
industry the media well people the freelance censorship here like it kind of is an industry
here too it's not government it's not to that degree well government we have government sensors
as well but we also have the private sector of sensors karen's if you will the panel of uh chinese bros just there being like i don't
know his posture is not that masculine which by the way there is uh i i feel like the one thing
that this is the thing people in the chat sometimes will comment and be you know call me feminine and
stuff like this and this is what they don't realize and the chinese bros might get me
they don't ryan long the video game
has been banned in china but no no i wouldn't be though that's the thing these people people don't
get unlike jane i'm feminine in the way that mick jagger's femme i'm rock and roll feminine
it's a very different which is actually pussy crusher feminine pussy crusher feminine it's a
it's a that's the thing These people don't realize that.
Basically, what you're saying is China just needs to get to know you a little better.
And once they did, they'd be like, oh, this guy's actually crushing it.
We want more Chinese people to be like this guy.
Me and my legend friends.
Danny doesn't know what I was saying.
Instead of the slut walk, the dudes just have a legend walk.
It's more of a strut.
The fucking legend strut.
But people don't get that.
It is kind of an interesting culture,
like band culture or whatever,
because it is a little bit flamboyant and all that stuff.
But at the same time,
it is kind of a very masculine culture.
It's sort of an interesting duality.
Yes.
And a lot of arts cultures are like that.
But you would look at that and you go, oh, Prince are like that but you but you could you would look
at that and you go oh prince is gay if you knew prince you go that motherfucker ain't gay no
okay it's more of a man than you'll fucking ever be well like they have a different kind of
fucking judas priest isn't gay like oh elton john's gay i was gonna say i'm like yeah he's
gay that guy is gay right well he's kind of funny because he basically
started wearing all the leather stuff
and then all the
kind of like metalhead
guys started dressing like leather
daddies yeah well I don't know if I could
if what came first I think a lot of people
like that narrative it's probably a little bit
of both but basically
a bit of an overlap I don't know if a gay
guy made gay cool for metalheads or a gay guy started making metal gay.
So what are the kids in China going to masturbate to if they only have like three hours?
Because they only have three hours a day.
They have to crank one out quick.
Well, there's no cans anymore.
Well, this is the can-oriented line.
They said, characters must have a clear gender and storylines are prohibited from having blurred
moral boundaries so when you say characters must have a clear gender boobs like what else could
that possibly be that's basically a long hair and boobs well that that's kind of what that means so
it's like this is very china's policy is very like me what me and my friends in like the film world used to joke about
we used to say that uh the old like key grips you ever heard the old key grip jokes they can
be sort of extrapolated to anything but it's like what do you call a key grip with uh
how do you know how do you know that a key grip just got laid how two clean fingers
it's like a gross joke but we used to say that the policy on set was all you need to know
is no gay shit no fat chicks and keep them cold yeah so this is what china's sort of policy is
they're saying for their video games they go no gay shit no fat chicks no small tits no keeping
cold sounds like they're fucking beers have to be
cold china's for the boys i wonder if we're no men doing laundry in the video game i wonder if
this podcast has any listeners in china i wonder if we're allowed yeah the clear gender they
definitely mean titties that's no question and i think they go they they make the characters have
to do like a motorboat. So they have another character.
They make them bring in a life-size version of the character
and then the Chinese sensor bros,
they kind of come up and they go,
I'd like to see him a little bigger.
They just measure the depth on their head
to see how far deep they can get their head in there.
Anything past the ear and we're good to go.
Me and Paul used to always love that.
It's like if you're going to a strip club or whatever
Whatever scenario you're motorboating titties
And someone else is motorboating titties
And you'll have to give yourself the boating nod
The boater's nod
Yeah yeah yeah
Like out on the water
Yeah it's out on the water
The boater's nod from motorboating
So they said
They were told these with the wrong value orientation
pornography and violence must be outed so unfortunately titties are kind of back out
because they don't like anything to pornography no and technology developers were briefed to
firmly boycott any ill culture such as money worshiping effeminate males and boys love so
to me that just sounded anti-semitic a bit of a dog whistle where
they said the money and the boys love banning dog money worshipers money worshipers doesn't
that feel a tad yeah i mean they like fucking if you said if you go you know i liked all the
people there except for the few money the money was the first and you point to your nose it is weird because they are a very like uh consumer culture there they're they're all into
like status and buying just fucking dumb ass shit that's expensive crazy rich asians yeah exactly
but even in china well they think that's a bad thing but that's that's all part of kind of the
boils down to places like that where everyone has their own you know they always kind of need their religion that you have to be beholden to and here that religion is you
know social justice or whatever yeah and there the religion is the state yeah it's communist party
yeah exactly so if you if to be honest like that is one of those you know why there you know there's
a lot of people that talk about why whether or not
china is really like the biggest threat to us and i've heard kind of uh compelling arguments on both
sides yeah i would say that because but there is people like to even on both sides people like to
glorify other cultures to some degree like they have it all together but they do have a lot of
their own problems but they one of the big things that they're dealing with is when you know those tech companies
get too big and they're censoring them and all that stuff a lot of it is just straight up the
government like showing those elites that who's boss 100 because it's not like you know they have
all their and a lot of those companies all like work with the military and all that stuff they're
all intertwined like they're all intertwined.
Pretty heavily.
And yeah, they all work for, like they're letting you be a billionaire.
Like they're like.
And they want you to know that. Whereas in America, you can be a billionaire in spite of the government.
And then tell the government to, you know, fuck himself, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Exactly.
Like Elon Musk style or like, you know, tells the SEC to suck his dick and all that stuff.
Whereas there.
No way.
They're like, no, no, no.
They're like, we're kind of a tandem, if you will.
They'll bring you in and be like...
They bring you in with the 19 government officials,
and they go, you mentioned sucking dick,
and you said we'd be doing it to you.
Well, we're going to leave here today,
and one of us is getting our dick sucked.
Who do you think that's going to be, pal?
Here's a chapstick.
Alibaba.
Alibaba.
And then they said over 30 30 000 gamer accounts have been removed
and 96 000 silenced over rule violations so again it's like the same shit they're removing accounts
and they remove your accounts like for example if you're playing like a girl not taking chances in
the video game no you're very too cautious things like that if you're playing like a strategy game
and you spend way too much time making food as opposed to...
Just puttering around, not really getting much done, but really wasting time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're afraid of confrontation, for example.
Yep.
Puttering around, afraid of confrontation.
That's one thing.
Not on time for anything.
Yeah.
You know, just regular stuff.
Yeah, yeah, if you show up.
Just regular, unmanly traits.
You take too much time picking your character and getting it ready.
You're obsessed with your avatar
but not completing anything in the game.
You know.
If you spend too much time.
Check stuff.
Yeah, well, if you do that,
that's the kind of shit that gets your account taken away.
They said rule breachers include
improper political remarks,
but obviously their improper political remarks
is just a different version than here.
Superstition, rumor, pornography, vulgar content,
cyberbullying, privacy speech,
and discrimination comments, discriminatory comments.
So exact same here with just different morals.
You know, Western here, it's every superhero has a version.
It is crazy though, because like you really know
that in China, like someone's listening to everything in every
video game like that really is wild like it is really getting like i feel like you know you
could i'm sure you can get slide stuff by but not to the extent where like i'm sure people drop like
you know people say crazy shit on like xbox live and then they someone reports them who like was
in it versus like a moderator whereas there
it's like the moderator is or whatever ai or whatever they're using is the one who's actually
like catching it yeah there's actually a guy sitting there with a toga on just crushing beers
just listening he has like fucking headset in each ear just yeah and he's getting blown well
they got so many people they got to put them to work somehow yeah they got tons of fucking people so it's almost it was kind of
making me laugh that the idea that this stuff's kind of like accidentally for the boys which
i wanted to do a segment remember that's not accidentally in love when when someone does
something that's supposed to be social justice, but it's accidentally for boys.
This is that.
I like one of the things
I was reading in the thing
where they go,
authorities and state media
have repeatedly lashed out at male stars
who wear heavy makeup
and project a feminine image,
saying Chinese boys
should become more manly.
Well, that's because they don't,
that's why they're banning
like the boy bands
and stuff like that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Which is not to be confused with,
again, me and Prince. But also- Meger me and steve tyler guys cool masculine guys but also
like that level of self-awareness where they go yeah you know our dudes kind of do look like our
chicks so it's like i mean like i know people make fun of us about that but it is kind of true
so why are we giving these people more ammo that's true let's really differentiate them but the act you think there's how far away do you think they are from mandatory
breast implants for all women above like 16 i would say that they've discussed it at the very
that conversation has happened where you go look let's give every every girl fucking double d's
and they have a moment of like are you thinking what i'm thinking and they're like they're
thinking but they're holding breast implants they're like squeezing those little squeeze things yeah they're still for
the boys that they have like breast implants for their stress balls i went to a fucking a party
with my girl her friend was like a surgeon or whatever and he's a plastic surgeon and he had
all over his apartment fucking breast implants that's pretty funny that he's just putting it
out he just has them like on his total ass but on his coffee table we should maybe get some for the fucking uh that's
such a funny thing for the studio he had them like and they're just like he had like all over
his coffee table just breast implants nice but my actual one that i was gonna say accidentally for
boys is um so casey musgrove basically went on SNL and then she did her
performance naked with a guitar.
Right.
And then the cut released this article being like, if you're looking for a Halloween costume,
if you're already panicking about what to wear for Halloween, singer Casey Musgrove
has some sage advice.
Don't wear anything at all.
Well, except for cowboy boots
can't give away that you're already panicking so if oh yeah can't give away the feet for free so
that's what they said they don't want you to see the free but so for halloween they're saying you
know to this you know big woman icon yeah i don't know who she is i know it doesn't matter who the
funny thing is i read it and they go she was doing a ode to jenny from forrest gump you're like way more people know
who jenny is from forrest gump yeah then fucking casey musgroves so why not just say that why not
say it's jenny from forrest gump but the bottom line is and where was this fucking costume 20
years ago the cut for women empowerment reasons is telling girls here's an idea go naked for
halloween yeah so they're saying i would love
to be the editor the girl brings she goes here's the article i'm going to publish she goes i'm
going to recommend that this year's halloween costume for women is go naked yeah yeah what
the fuck are you talking about yeah what do you mean and they go yeah we're going to recommend
they go naked we remember on that see that on college campus and you know this is a part of
our efforts to for feminism yeah like this sounds like more like a tweet do you not have any other article ideas you know i think they got their idea from
necro when i die bury me between a pair of tits you remember that one and what so would you have
to sit down the whole time yeah an electric scooter where you're just like no you're out
there you're putting it out there your tits are out at the bar this is the recommendation you're
carrying around and you're carrying around an acoustic guitar.
So it's like a pretty expensive costume.
I'd say that's optional at this point.
It's a pretty expensive costume.
It's like all the really like,
so it's like cowboy boots, cowboy hat, acoustic guitar.
That's like a $500 costume.
And this is a recommendation, not ironically,
to recreate Casey Mosgrove's performances.
All you need is cowboy boots
a guitar
which is optional and they said
the attitude of a scorned lover
maybe some SPF if you're going to be out in the sun
so that's the recommendation
I love how they go it's optional for the guitar
well basically girls at Halloween
have always sort of been like
you know let me do a slutty
character of any obviously right right so it's like why not cut to the chase just be named oh
yeah here you go why don't you say i'll go as eve yo harry clitz them skits that shit oh fuck what
was it do you not remember necro no so necro was this rapper that he was kind of like he had all
these songs about uh like pretty funny songs
like dead body disposal tell me what to do after your foes are killed then he would go right all
through how to dispose of a body with really funny stuff and he'd be like you know put the bag in
trash the trash bag and he's like uh and even a nosy bitch wouldn't open it up and make no sense
he has like all these okay but what he's then he did this album called the sexorcist and all of his raps were about being like a you know uh orgies and stuff like that right with the lines of me
and my buddies used to always say we go harry clint that's just some scary shit when i die
bury me between a pair of tits that's probably one of the best raps anytime you you like hook
up with a girl that's like hair you come back you just
the boys knew you go let me just say this let's just some scary shit
how you know was it shaved all i'm gonna say is when i die bury me between a pair of tits
let's just some scary shit when i die bury me between a pair of tits
white guy he might have to be a white guy he was a white guy only a white guy was talking
about just murdering like and like actual proper body disposal yeah well it was kind of like that
that song that was like the rules of being a drug dealer or whatever you remember that one
like uh biggie like the 10 crack it was like that a little bit but he was he would do songs like
that that was very like in detail but it was always really funny but the sexist era of necro is so funny he's
it was like at nine out of ten lines are about his dick being too big
and then he have would he wear makeup like does he have a costume no no no he was like
look like fat joe sorta okay i was picturing a picture and he would do videos like he was one
of the original guys to do the videos where it wouldn't be released on youtube and the girls would actually be naked and all that sort of stuff so finally this is caught
up nice and by the way this is such i just can't get over how chick of a idea this is to say like
for halloween spend all this money be naked yeah god here's here's the guy version of this article
goes hey here's a hot halloween tip dick
out no it's fucking buy a track suit you're one of the guys from squid game twelve dollars you're
just saying it's crappy no it's a better costume yeah no that's your pain it's not spending you
you're not breaking the bank and you're not walking around naked like a psycho i'm see
danny would wouldn't be disagreeing with the china censors because i'm all for the
naked costume yeah until there's a fucking bunch of gross chicks and then you're like
can we get them a fucking tarp no fat chicks no gay shit keep them cold danny i don't know
if you've been listening well i imagine the cut doesn't abide by the no fat chicks no gay shit
keep them cold hey that's the thing though they're accidentally for the boys. Accidentally for the boys.
So in Canada, one of my favorite,
a big joke was staying to any girl.
So people in America might not know this,
but there was a celebrity singer.
Her name was Rita McNeil.
He's already making Danny chuckle because he knows.
She was like really the butt of jokes in my childhood.
She was this really fat singer,
and she was the butt of all jokes.
Rita McNeil, everyone used to say, eat a big meal.
It went on and on and on, right?
Remember we used to know there was an old comic that was like a fucking old road dog from Canada.
I remember the first comedy show I ever went to.
He goes, you know, Canadian entertainers, we don't make that much money.
We're lucky if we got three square meals a day.
I don't know how Rita McNeil got so big.
It was a hot topic, the Rita McNeil.
So we used to always go to girls and be like, oh, you're dressed up as a Rita McNeil in a fairy suit.
Oh, oh, a Rita McNeil dressed up like a princess.
Got it.
Yeah, yeah.
You always accuse them of their costume being Rita Mcneil dressed up like a princess got it yeah yeah you always accuse them of their
costume being rita mcneil dressed up in the costume another thing this is my boy dan from
universal we used to always go uh the way to get a free meal is you walk up to any girl while she's
eating at a restaurant and you go eating for two tonight are we and then she cries and then you eat
the rest of her meal plus it tastes a little better because she seasoned it with her sadness.
She seasoned it with her sadness.
So you always accuse girls of eating for two.
And then when they go, and then you finish their meal for them.
Yeah, that's a good little life hack.
They're getting a little less for the boys with their last comic.
They say, bonus points if you shave your eyebrows, wear a wedding dress dress and or run alongside a very fast horse so
this is another back to forrest gump they're back to forrest yeah they're off fucking snl yeah don't
shave your eyebrows though remember when that was like the hot style for girls uh no you don't this
was a big thing especially where i came from there were plenty of girls they shave their eyebrows
and then they draw oh draw the eye oh draw the draw i thought you were saying
shaving which is just shaving and not saying yeah yeah that's the one of my it's one of the worst
styles if i ever see you do that i just assume you have a crippling methamphetamine addiction
it's a but it was i i would say there would be 10 of girls in my high school were doing that shit
it was a hot style well it's a little urban it was more like an old yeah i yeah maybe i don't
i don't know if you know this but i got caught up and i started doing that with my pubes
you drew them back on yeah i drew them back on earlier what color i drew a bigger bush
well obviously uh fucking jet black just just to really oh i i like to look like i like to look
like an old man whose hair went gray
and he dyes it just shoe polish yeah yeah just like where you go that's a bad job so this is
what they said should you prefer your halloween costumes to have a more clothes and communism
so if you want a little more communism they recommend doing grimes reading the communist
manifesto so that's that's their halloween costumes is holding a communist manifesto or nude
totally naked and the next article from cut is going to be like this halloween had the worst
amount of sexual assaults yeah i wonder why that is uh the next i think is like we sort of made a
mistake there telling every girl to show up fucking tits out naked.
Totally naked in high alcohol environments.
There'd be a lot of chicks who are getting the fucking honky-tonk man treatment though.
That fucking guitar pulled away from them and just smashed over their backs.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Now, I wanted to do this quick video.
And then you also told me,
as you can hear the chants from the crowd,
let's go, Brandon.
Brandon, you told me you were going to kind of hang back
those first two stages and just watch and learn.
What did you learn that helped you there in those closing laps?
Oh, my God.
It was.
Which, by the way, everybody was like, like, it's obviously a really funny thing.
But I guess like because I watched it, I was at like a like a fucking bar or whatever.
And then I saw I was like on Twitter and then I couldn't quite hear it.
And I go like, well, I don't get what they're saying.
They're saying, let's go, Brandon.
Let's go, Brandon. You thought it was that. And I kind of thought. And then I like the press. No, no, no. And then I couldn't quite hear it and I go like I don't get what they're saying they're saying let's go Brandon because let's go Brandon was trending
you thought it was that and I kind of thought and then I
no no and then I listened to it again
I'm curious if she
was like really
quick on her feet or just her brain just
told her that that was let's go Brandon
like and she just didn't like
hear fuck Joe Biden and just was like let's go
Brandon funny because he's kind of like
you can tell he can hear him as fuck Joe and because they're asking he's not an idiot
like i uh the line um yeah the line changing and uh the chair is so funny that anywhere you know
the for years it was the fuck trump shot now it's the trump but can you imagine like the opposite
where it's like fuck trump fuck trump and someone comes up they're like they're here and they're all trending uh good luck chuck so uh good luck
but it's just so funny like i don't know if that's an honest mistake but if it's not it's weird
because i have no shame has like delays for this exact reason because there's many other sports
things where it mostly is goes to the refs but like you know you go to like a eagles game or like philly or you know
notoriously like raucous crowds and they'll be like fuck the refs like you know they can't be
on nbc so they have like a way of just kind of silencing it happens all the time like if you
ever watch the nba like you'll just be listening and then it just goes silent for a second and
that's why some player just goes get the fuck off of me and they just
bleep it and then they just may have the five second button or whatever exactly they have the
five second button so it was weird that nbc like they just let it go it's like they almost were
that stupid like just yeah i guess or someone in the fucking because you know maybe the nascar crew
because obviously nascar is pretty fucking
conservative maybe the crew who works the nascar is kind of like also they go like someone goes
hey let me hit and it goes not so fast let's go it's not so fast let's go brandon yeah it's let's
go brandon uh let's just let's let this go for a bit so i was going through uh every once in a
while like i go through these uh the
reddits that have the the first person story accounts but the polyamory ones are like so
funny right so basically they're because it's very it kind of is the the point that these
groups exist is all like girls kind of what i always say where people that try to do pirate lifestyles but they
can't so they're they're really just like you're doing this like wacky lifestyle and there's
obviously a trade-off like if you're gonna be the guy that you know is in that world and you got
like five girlfriends and all this stuff it's like the trade-off is you know you're gonna have
all your time taken up you better it's gonna cost you a lot of money. The management perspective and all of it.
You're probably not.
That's like Dan Bilzerian was just talking when he had like 50.
I almost rolled my eyes.
He goes, yeah, I had 50.
Shut up.
He goes, I had 50 girlfriends at once.
And you go, okay.
And he goes, yeah, it's like they just, it's all the, it's like.
So basically what he's saying, it's just on a worse scale where he's like,
yeah, it's just all the talking and man.
It's like.
But you've been single and having like 10 girl chicks on the roster or some shit over
time.
It's a lot of fucking work.
Well, it eventually becomes a time where you're just kind of like, this is crazy.
Yeah.
I'm not doing anything else.
This is my whole life.
Yeah.
But with him, it is his whole life.
Yeah.
Because that's his whole.
And his brand.
His job is that.
So he actually, you rolled his job into that
i do find it funny when you get the females because it's like sorry females for calling
you females i know you don't like that but um the woman's perspective because women's like oh well
guys do this i'm gonna fucking wheel 10 guys and you know like they're just like they're going i'm
gonna do this too and then it all pretty much from what i read in the subreddit and what i know about being poly it always just comes back to the end of the day where you're like
yeah these guys aren't poly they're all lying to you they go you go i'm poly you go oh so am i
let's fuck well yeah most got a lot of the guys in this world it's like they just want to have
their girlfriend and then be able to like smash at their chicks on the side and this is a good
way to do it like guys go go, yeah, I'm poly.
Me too.
Look at us, a couple poly people, huh?
Or you don't want to have a girlfriend, yeah.
I mean, dude, I've like,
the truth is every guy that was in his 20s
on the scene like that,
it's kind of like,
every person that's kind of dictating a lot of people
has said to some girl
or another like i just don't know if i'm the guy that could be with one girl what your baby humans
are meant for that dude we're fucking polyamorous creatures by nature and you know you just start
talking and you the bullshit's just spewing out of your mouth and eventually the girl's like
whatever like obviously this is i'm i'm my bullshit detectors are going off but at the end
of the day you've said no to what i've asked right it's like hey i was thinking that we should be
together you go i you know we're all just creatures out in the water just animals down to the core
we're just just primates and we just i've been like in my fucking 20s talking to some chick in my bed
you know I just and you use this tone
you know it's one of those things
and just I've been able to be present enough
to look at myself and go what the fuck
bullshit are you up to
but the best is like women
I tell girls I'm tortured
I don't know if I honestly I just can't even
bring you into my world because I'm such a mess
I can't do that to you.
I wouldn't feel comfortable.
Just a fucking.
But it is funny with this poly stuff because it's clear.
Like, so like women were obviously sexually repressed.
Like they were relative to men.
Then they were like, okay, here you're free to whatever.
And they were like, oh, see, guys, like they're calling us sluts or whatever.
And then they just wanted to put this like term on it.
They go like, oh, you know, guys fuck around all the time. We don't call them sluts. And then we're like, so what's our thing? You go, oh, see, guys, they're calling us sluts or whatever. And then they just wanted to put this term on it. They go like, oh, you know, guys fuck around all the time.
We don't call them sluts.
And then we're like, so what's our thing?
And you go, oh, we're poly.
And now they're trying to bring it back to guys being like, hey, I'm looking for poly guys.
They're like, there's no poly guys.
Like, they were the guys.
They were the dogs you were calling them fucking 30 years ago.
Then you called yourself poly to not feel bad about being a slut.
And now you're calling them poly.
That is exactly right. And they're like, we're not paulie we're fucking what are you talking about
every dude is paulie enough as he can get away with it exactly and the the thing the trade-off
for this is like you know there's guys that you have a couple chicks or whatever are you dating
some girl that you gotta pay for everything and you know maybe she lets you screw around every
now and whatever the deal you get this the opportunity
cost is you need to operate in this whole like world and you need to have these rules and you're
kind of in this cosplaying yeah yeah and then also it's like your girl's like living her version of
it where it's like they have some other guy that wants to maybe move into your like just all the
nonsense that comes around with this right yeah so there's always like a sacrifice and trade-off
to whatever deal you want to get.
But these girls, they're sort of like entering this world,
like kind of like, hey, I'm wondering,
this thing's not working out that good.
And you're like, yeah, yeah, no, this thing's a mess.
But for dudes, they're like, a lot of dudes,
it's like, I'm willing, think about how many guys
go through, blow through so much money,
so much time to like smash
a nice piece of pussy
and so the girls
are kind of like
this thing's a whole mess
and the guys are like
tired
exhausted
it's like
yeah I got to hit it though
so for some guys
he's like
I have to pretend
it's worth this trade off
yeah I had to be a whole new life
I had to wear a weird hat
I started wearing a weird hat it's mostly with polyamory i'm at the bar you know arguing about
fucking polyness to girls it's like i had to get a tongue stud oh god she made me get a tongue stud
yeah you know but for some guys that's worth it to be able to smash out of their chicks yeah
but so it's just funny these smash at their chicks. Yeah.
So it's just funny.
These girls posting their problems, their relationship problems,
but the poly relationship problems are so funny.
And this person said,
why do polyam guys have a hard time admitting that sometimes they are maxed out at their capacity and promise more that would make sense?
It feels like I'm being strung along.
Because he's stringing you along.
It's so funny like
she's she's talking some guy she's like i want to smash you know and maybe we'll go for uh dinners
and stuff and she's like he's like yeah i mean i have nine other girlfriends in tan clazarian cases
your girlfriend number 51 being like you're gonna take me on trips right and for him he's like
sometimes the whole squad goes yeah yeah you know Yeah, you know, the whole squad.
But he's just like, you know, we're poly.
You know what the poly life's like.
It's tough.
Yeah, I'm around.
He goes, I'm around.
I'm poly.
You're poly.
We're poly.
He does do it right, though,
because he goes, if you are going to do it,
and it's like he does a trip with all 50 of them at once.
Right.
Because you know,
how many times have you been with Eurochickens?
Like, her friend goes on a trip with a guy and you're like what are you doing yeah and then
she's like when do we want a trip can you imagine trying to like if you wanted to do imagine you
have seven girlfriends and then you go on a trip with two of them or no you go on sorry two trips
with one of them yeah the other girlfriends are like two trips for her and none and not a single
trip so you go okay well i'll have to do two for you now.
And the third girl's like.
I mean, you're a fucking.
If you're that guy.
Have the only girlfriend that doesn't get a trip.
If you're that guy, you're a fucking idiot.
So.
Yeah, she's like me.
You're that guy.
You rent a yurt.
A reasonably priced yurt that fits all of you.
It's like those big tents.
Our buddy Graham has one.
That's the only way to do it is you have them all in a compound.
Yeah, a compound.
It's like, hey, you don't give me enough time.
It's like, what do you mean?
We had dinner together yesterday.
It's like, well, alone time.
It's like, that's going to be fucking tough.
You know, we're poly.
It's a tough lifestyle for everybody.
So she's mad when she wants people to add her as her like 45th girlfriend.
And she's like, when we first met and smashed, he told me he was going to have plenty of time.
And then turns out, like, with his job and seven other girlfriends two of which he lives with like he's not even able to do a weekend
away with me and you go it sounds to me like what you want is a boyfriend yes again that's what it
all comes back to is like they're trying to just sow their wild oats or whatever but they also want
all the other stuff yeah they want their cake and eat it too and then they go oh i don't i don't
like this also they want to you know it's kind of this thing it was like you know
normally they have all this like bs that they want from a guy right and i guess they're if they're
poly they're like well i can sort of spread my bs to like a lot of different guys right maybe i kind
of nag this guy a bit get this make the force this guy to come to some event with me but it turns out
that every guy in that scene
kind of just has their main girl.
They do all that stuff.
Within the other girls, it's like,
listen, I want to have sex with you.
I mean, look, there's,
we know a lot of various people
from different kind of walks of life.
There's a reason why,
and people who listen to this do too.
There's a reason why you don't know
poly people really.
You know the odd
one it's like a novelty or whatever it's because fucking on paper like maybe it seems cool but
that's your whole world right sure we know the one guy who's like his whole thing exactly but
if you make it your whole world then you don't have to do all this groundwork as much so let's
say the only people around you are poly blah blah the only because
then they're like isolated almost because then your girl's like what about this and this and
this and you're kind of like look around that's what it is that's what we all do are you not poly
wait you kind of are you not poly so you sort of get to put them in this thing right yeah but she
said so context i've understood that while I remain solo polygam,
I have a dream of finding partners
who are actually physically and emotionally available.
Partners interested in sharing time with me
and taking trips and spending the weekend together.
Well, it sounds like you want a boyfriend.
Yes.
She wants someone that's emotionally available.
It's like girls need a person,
for the most part,
want more emotional availability
than this so most guys that have their main guy main girl are already topped out yeah they're
topped out before they've even started talking big time to girl number three yeah can you imagine
like you're you're with the you have your main girl right you're doing all this stuff with and
then you go on like a fun vacation you do manage to go on like a night away with this other chick like you go on a fucking one nighter trip
take her to a hotel and she wants that night she was like yeah she goes but i want the weekend too
and you go honey honey listen she wants all the emotional availability though she's like okay
let's talk about our feelings you're like this is i could do that back at the ball the thing too is
i guess if you're in the poly lifestyle is i think the type of guys who are like not like i fuck a lot i'm poly kind of it's expected those
guys are the super like emotional they might have to do all that stuff yeah so if you're lying
you're lying about being that guy oh that's gonna be tough that's the extra if you're saying you're
poly when you just want to fuck a lot and then you and then you go oh but there's all this emotional
stuff i have to do it's a license to be tired out.
Oh, big time.
You are going to be a tuckered out little guy.
You think you want to be Tucker Max?
You end up being tuckered out.
Oh, that's good.
There you go.
I speak up about it saying,
hey, it seems like you have a lot on your plate.
I'm looking for someone more available.
Why don't we slow down, grow a friendship, and then when things feel more level and open, but go slow.
Is this reasonable?
I think so.
She goes, it's not an issue of doing better.
It's just an issue of being honest with oneself and the capacity.
It's like, you know, some of my partners already have hectic career and kids.
So, you know know why would they tell
me that they're gonna have time for me it's like why would a man lie to me
why why have men i'm having trouble historically lied to women if only there was this thing
i'm having trouble with it too I don't know
you know what let's put a pin in that maybe we'll circle back
we'll put a
pin in it and circle back I can't figure it out
we'll have to put a pin in that one
nothing's coming to mind for me
no but she goes
I'm here and he's saying that he wants
to do this thing with me yet he
does a life
he has a family a hectic job but he still wants to have sex with me, yet he has a life, he has a family, a hectic job,
but he still
wants to have sex with me, but he's not
going to have time to do all
this other stuff that I'm asking of him.
And... Why would he lie about doing the other
stuff? I saw in his phone that
my name is Mike.
Yeah. I don't...
Something's not adding up here.
He's like, yeah. like yeah so the girls they're basically all of their all of their like poly questions are just straight up like i can't find a boyfriend yeah
and you know what so this is we've kind of discussed this like a little bit with other
stuff but i think the issue here is that she first made her identity that she was poly and now she's being forced to
fit the rest of her life around her identity that's correct right so she's like she's identity's
huge that's the problem is you go because i guess you know we've we talk we're chicks like well i
don't know what my identity is and then they decide they go i'm poly and now they have to fit all this
stuff around this where if you just lose that bullshit,
just say,
I'm listening to like,
whatever,
who cares about my identity?
Just live your life.
You wouldn't have any of these problems,
but because you're so dead set on being a Polly person,
you have all these problems now.
I think that relates to even what we were talking about earlier.
It's like one of the big problems with the 25 to 30 era from everyone.
Yes.
Is that is true to you. Like you create
so much identity in your, you know, high school and college. And then some of that identity that
you've attached to yourself doesn't serve you as you get older. So you're also struggling with,
so that person that I said I was, and all these like things that I think I am like, even let's
say you were like, you know, I'm the, you like things that I think I am like even let's say
you were like you know I'm the you know how many girls struggle with like in their 20s in college
their whole thing is like my whole life is I think I'm like helping people or whatever right
and then you may be in some career where this like identity isn't really gelling with you start
working for like a fucking like health insurance company and you go oh all I do is fuck people all
day long huh yeah or whatever right yeah so I think there's so much of that too where you write your identity you you
created in a time when it was benefiting you like being that person at college even being like the
fucking crazy party guy or something at college it was like benefiting you yeah and then or even
for me potentially i get in trouble guy right and then you're like oh now i'm a fucking drug addict that i can't control it because i was trying to keep up this like
i cool identity as the party guy and shedding identities that you've attached yourself to are
so difficult it is difficult yeah i mean especially the ones that become negative that you kind of
have like anchored yourself to yeah yeah it's tough well i thought the best way to describe this scenario in uh the simplest terms if i was to offer advice is just it's probably gonna be tough to get the
full girlfriend experience from someone who has nine other wives yeah know what it is you know
other guys go to rub and tug and they want the girlfriend experience she wants polyamory she
wants the boyfriend experience she's having which is like you think would be easy to get
in any sort of,
I mean,
the women who this would pertain to
don't listen to this podcast,
but like stop making your sexuality your identity.
That's a good point.
It's like,
that's not like,
that's a part of your identity.
But you have to,
I think a little bit.
If you're going to be like,
I have three girlfriends or whatever.
But the problem that i say with all
these people it's like this is the thing that i've been saying forever it's like when we were
when i was in my 20s i was like you know trying to be mostly single and it was kind of this idea
of like yeah i guess i kind of usually had like a main girl i talked to mostly and then some other
ones and you'd be like it's like when these people are like i have nine girlfriends it's like
just sounds like you have zero girlfriends and one girl that's like the
main girl you're sort of dating yeah exactly you're fucking dealing with and then and then
it gets yeah and then it gets you fall you know you get little like it's kind of gets on there
and you go they go what's this and you go all right time to fucking promote one from the farm
team eventually one has to get caught one and you promote one because they get they had enough
and then they get yeah you literally you bring one up toxic boys unite there's this page called hoodville that
fucking yeah you told me dude it's all like yeah you know it's all like when that when your fucking
girl finally had enough of you and then five five days later you send her that text like hey i was
just thinking of you you know what you don't have to respond to this but tell your mama i miss her
it's all like she always goes hashtag toxic boys unite it's all like it's straight up like how to be a
fuck boy page it's so funny maybe really just you know it's just like the guy lying in bed
like texting the 45 girls telling them he loves him but it feels fucking hilarious you cut the
player in a sports analogy you cut the player with the big contract that's not performing and then you fucking that's so funny you call one up you call one up you're
hungry you call one up call up one of the hungry minor leaguers but then on the show and then i
think you replenish and then eventually you get to the point where you go listen i don't want to
run a baseball franchise anymore exactly you know what i don't want the part-time job of running a
baseball franchise you have to deal with all the you know you have to deal with all the emotions of the
players you kind of take off and you go you know what i'll just be one player's agent yeah exactly
you know yeah i'm gonna be more of i'm gonna transition to the agency side of this
that's exactly what it is and then eventually you get tired of running a farm team yeah
you go this farm team's like all of the players are
calling me non-stop with their problems you know what i mean eventually just go you know what i'm
just gonna be lebron's agent i'll get into coaching i don't know yeah but the other one that was
making me laugh even more i goes i'm in it's the same thing but this one's shorter we're not so
he goes i'm in my first poly relationship my partner of one and a half years has always been amazing and comforting.
Recently, she got a new partner.
And since they came in her life, the partner has been completely different.
I almost get no attention.
And she goes, yeah, because the first part of a relationship is funner.
She's having more fun with that other person.
And as in they as a non-binary?
I couldn't figure it out because it didn't say whether they're a guy or a girl.
I think purposely these communities are very
like inundated with this stuff.
But I think that this is a dude.
This is a dude, but he's just using
the word like partner and all the language
and stuff like that, right?
But you know, a girl being
or a dude kind of
in the polyamory community. Or it's two
lesbians. We don't know. But just to
be in a relationship and then you go, go yeah yeah we've been together for two years and then they're have
this new one and they've been hanging out more and all of a sudden they want to have me sex with
me less and it's like what's up with that like what you didn't i don't know so i got this uh
i'm dating someone and we're poly and then when we first had sex, when we first dated,
we were having sex all the time, and it was like super fun.
Anyways, it's two years later, and then there was someone else.
I mean, they're having sex all the time.
Yeah, just like we used to.
What's up with that?
What's up with that?
It's almost like they're doing the thing with this new person,
kind of like when we first started dating.
What's up with that?
What's up with that?
Do you see what I mean?
All these things are just them understanding basics.
It's like they're just children.
What's up with that?
You don't know any normal people who could just explain this to you?
What's up with that?
What's up with that?
It feels like they've ruined everything we have been through.
It feels like a competition, and they're doing things to spite been through it feels uh like a competition and
they're doing things to spite me it's almost like no this is the best part i got my girlfriend
flowers while i was on vacation and less than a week later he got her flowers on the same day so
it is yeah yeah it is a guy so this guy's this guy or it's a guy when he got her flowers oh yeah
yeah wasn't always not always a guy just a with the flowers, because that's a more male trait. So basically, they're showing up.
You come home, and there's flowers on the table.
And you leave, and you get her bigger flowers.
The guy gets her bigger flowers.
And then you come home with chocolates.
He comes home with bigger chocolates.
And then you just hear, like, literally, like, you just hear, beep, beep, beep.
It's like, what the fuck is that?
It's your fat girlfriend coming home.
Dump truck full of flowers.
How's that?
Top that, fucker!
Elements to hosers.
But it's like the guy in them really starts coming out with the really competitiveness.
It's something about Mary.
Yeah, exactly.
Dude, this person's life is something about Mary.
Top that, fucker you come
home hey guys he's got her a singing telegram and you have to show up wait we're not getting
played are we they're not gonna be something it's like yeah and then i got my ball stuck in a zipper
fucking with us i got your tickets to the mets well guess what i got your tickets to the yankees
i got your tickets to the yankees i got your tickets
to the yankees while they're playing in california and then we're taking a trip what a fucking
nightmare can you imagine you coming home and there's a big flowers on the table that your
girlfriend's other boyfriend got her then you go i'll be right back I left something in the car, Arnie
Also, it's so much easier to be the other man
Where you go
The guy, the poly guy
That doesn't have a main one
He's just out there
Fucking all the other main ones
Just buying from
The other man
It's so much easier to be the other man
You have no responsibilities
You just
It's like
It's just like a perpetual challenge
You just go around
Like fucking other people's girlfriends
And all you're doing is just like
Pulling You're just grabbing fucking Flowers from the cemetery on your way from place to place.
You're not even buying them because you're fucking too busy fucking.
You don't have time to work.
And the gifts seem so much better when they come from someone new, too.
Imagine when you first start, it's like you take your chick to a fancy dinner or whatever,
and she's like, oh, thank you.
That's so nice of you.
Nowadays, you take your chick to a fancy dinner, and she's like, that thank you that's so nice of you nowadays you take your chick to a fancy dinner and she's like that's it yeah or it's not even that it's
just kind of like yeah duh that's what you do yeah that's what you do that's what you signed up for
you know maybe you get a thank you but it's not like any more of a thing no no no it's yeah it's
these these relationships again love it nightmare nightmare scenario because all their problems are
just like unless you're that dude but all these problems you're like yeah yeah yeah that's why
people don't do this yeah that's why you don't know anybody who successfully has this yeah and
again if they are they're not complaining about it because they're like if you went and you go
doesn't it get competitive yeah no shit it sucks. This sucks, but I'm fucking that.
But also just smash this one.
Yeah, exactly.
But they go, you go, isn't that a nightmare?
They go, yeah, it's, it's obviously a nightmare, but check out these titties.
Yeah.
And like, if you're, if you have one of your friends who is doing this successfully, you're going to know, he is going to let you know that he has this sick deal that's working out great for him, at least in his mind.
Even if you go, oh, that's not for me.
If he thinks it's working out great, he's going to let you know.
Oh, you're going to know.
You're going to know.
Then he goes, look at all this fucking smashing.
I have a body who's like an old, like, he is like a weird dude.
He's really into this stuff.
But he's, but he is, he's living the lifestyle.
Like he does all this stuff and goes to the conventions.
And like,
he is,
he doesn't work that much.
And this is like his whole social life.
The way that you'd be into like video games,
like his,
his life's built around this,
not vice versa.
Yeah.
Like his whole life's built around,
like you said,
the identity component.
Cause I remember,
we know the one guy,
I'm not gonna say his name or whatever, his thing you'd be like yeah it's fucking
sick and then you'd be like check out this one and you'd be like oh my god
like don't show me that ever again
what am i even looking at that's a girl because yeah yeah sick right like smash that i go oh god jesus
oh fuck oh shit okay we're gonna take a second here to talk about

Now, I feel like we had to address this article because it's been going viral in the comedy community.
But so a big article came out and the the purpose of the article it was saying can the future of
comedy be found in socialism and this is the la times danny says yes i'm not so sure of course it
is socialism cures everything and before we get in the article i'll just say the gist of what they
kind of were saying was they're talking
about you know this comedy co-op that like 30 people get together and they you know you see
first off this is an improv thing yeah because improv notoriously fucks everybody over yeah
like improv notoriously is like really takes advantage of people yeah because they basically
get people to work for these places and they pay them in training from the other people there.
You know what it's like?
It's like Tiger King, how you go work at the tiger thing.
And if you work for free and like someone gets their fucking arm ripped off, but they're all just working for free this whole time.
Just didn't get like upgraded to like a higher rung on like the tiger.
You get your fake.
This is what Kurt said this to they go.
They're very good at paying people in things other than money.
So they're like these institutions that operate in the sense of like a school a lot of ways
where it's like, yeah, you're getting or like an apprenticeship.
But these apprenticeships become these like lifelong journeys for people a lot of times.
Exactly.
And the idea is you move your way up.
So again.
And 1% of you make it maybe yeah yeah yeah
like maybe you can name five improvers off the top of your head but you know i'm talking about
all the people who do like sketch comedy yeah no i'm saying it's lower than one percent or sorry
sorry sorry yeah sorry yeah i was being generous yeah yeah yeah a tenth of one percent maybe like
yeah so that's what i'm kind of... And before I even got in this article,
because this is that thing that sort of happens
where a lot of times people are kind of just doing their thing.
And because the media is so out of tune with everything,
they come out and they make these bold statements
because it aligns with what they want to say.
And the truth is,
I don't want this to be a slight against the people
just because like,
dude, if you want to make your 25 people
and have a co-op and do an improv club,
that's fine.
And maybe it'll do good.
You know, it's like,
that's not really the point here.
The point is the media,
it's like how they think about comedy
and how everyone in that world thinks about comedy
it's like first of all oh can i just give one at least little pat on the back to the la times
because they are super far left generally at least they frame this as a question and not saying well
they don't they've they've at least the article they've also framed it as like the question's been answered yeah they
go here's but at least like they're not like but yeah they thought yeah it's insane so there's and
they kind of go back and forth of whether talking about socialization socialism in terms of like the
payment structure and socialism in terms of like you know how comedy should operate in general
which is the funniest take ever of like a bunch of people like socialize their funniness to
financially you know maybe i give you a socialize their funniness to financially
you know maybe i give you a little bit of funniness maybe you're funnier tomorrow and i
maybe uh hey you were a little uh too funny i didn't feel like you kind of gave me a little
opportunity to be funny today so yeah we kind of share the wealth which is probably the least
uh it's the same as sports where it's the most art form where it's very
difficult to socialize
there's just such talent gaps
yeah and like it's you know
it's art
it's not sports
but the revenue created by those talent gaps
can be the difference between like
100 million dollars and 5 million
and that's what they're always having this conversation
about box offices and stuff where they're like why weren't these people
paid equally it's like well the difference between names sometimes at the box office can be the
difference between millions of dollars oh easily and so i don't know if like the just maybe because
people don't know so ucb which is the upright citizens grade which is famous i don't know if
they have them anymore i don't know if covid wiped them out i think they're getting wiped out they're trying to get bought out they're trying to get
bought out but so like because people don't really know this so they were like the big improv thing
it was started by amy poehler uh fuck i don't know the bald dude he's in stuff and two other people
they were like became mainstream stars in like tv and stuff but then they were also making tons of
money off like people don't know that like amy
poehler is like a quarter owner of ucb and she was getting rich and they she was getting made a few
people like she was able to make uh broad city and stuff totally they definitely made a few people
but like there was this point where everybody's like yeah so like you know you pay 200 for a class
and then they put you like uh they say oh that was really good you you can do this like main
stage show where we sell tickets but we can't pay you because like our rents are so high.
And they would come up with every excuse in the book while like the owner was like on, you know, Parks and Rec.
Like huge star.
You're like you're like you're loaded outside of this.
I didn't really know this story.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was fuck.
I can't remember the other guy's name because he's also like a big not super not to her level famous.
But you know him. And then but they were like they're just like it was pretty fucking
shady what they were doing they kept just crying poverty being like well you know our our we're not
doing that they're standing there with their pockets out kind of yeah being like we don't
yeah like we we don't have the money to pay and i will say the thing about the socialism too is like
comedy is generally a shitty business and this is going to be shitty comedy so you have to assume
just making like adding socialism to this will make it an even shittier business right like
you're like you're not helping the business element of this by adding socialism but i get
the idea of that they what they are thinking of doing and one part of it is that the the things that they're providing so
let me just backtrack a little bit so there's this thing where in every industry
where whenever feedback comes from internally and not externally that's the number one thing
that gets corrupt right so this idea of like socialism and socializing,
you know, based on whatever different factors,
they are already doing this in most, you know,
there's already Comedy Central making choices
based on things other than, you know,
on what they would consider fairness.
So this idea of like socializing entertainment
is already currently happening, right?
But the mix of corruption
always comes from any like when you say academia the news they're peer-reviewed so the most corrupt
places any government that doesn't have to you know listen to a voting or any sort of public
it always come the most corrupt places are when there's the least external out front. So in standup comedy, that's why one of the reasons it's good is because you have an audience.
So that's always been like that, right?
But the actual principle that they're talking about of like socializing where we all own an equal part of this, like a co-op, this has been done in a, that's called a band.
That's called an improv troupe.
Like this isn't a new idea.
You're going to run into the exact problems that every single one of them runs into.
That's correct.
They go, hey, we can't pay the rent this month.
That's true.
But the bigger problem that you run into is one person is now insanely famous.
There's the, well, there's, you know, the movie.
I don't know if I saw it.
I can't remember the name of it.
But it's with Michael Keegan Key or whatever.
Key and Peele guy.
Is that his name
yeah okay
and it's literally
this is the movie
it's about a guy
oh no no no
that was
fuck it
yeah he's like
at an improv troupe
then he gets on
you know the one
Mike Bigley
Mike Bigley
no no no
this is
no no no
maybe Burbigley is in it
Burbigley is his movie
but it's Key
from Key and Peele
yeah but it's his movie
and he's the guy
who basically
he's like at the
yeah exactly it is Burbigley and he's this guy who basically is like at the – yeah, exactly.
It is perfectly.
And he's this guy who's at this improv troupe.
And then he gets on Saturday Night Live and it's all weird and everybody hates him and he's all rich now.
And you're like – but again, he was the guy who's like carrying the fucking troupe.
Correct.
While he was like the huge new upcoming star in this small improv troupe.
And that's what happens.
huge new upcoming star in this small improv troupe.
And that's what happens.
You know, so there is maybe a small enough scale where that would work.
Like, for example, a marriage or a family
where you say, hey, listen,
I'm making all the money, whatever.
We'll still split it even, even.
But the minute, even with a two-person duo,
maybe a three, if you start to get to 25 people,
let's say one person is now jim carrey is he split and he's made make one person's making the majority of the money now they're
splitting it 25 ways they obviously just quit sure not yeah they quit and they go do their
own thing so anyone that's making any disproportional amount is going to quit yes also
imagine obviously imagine you're
the guy who's like oh i'm so sick like you know i have agents coming after me all this stuff and
then there's someone who's just like you have to tell your agent like by the way i split my money
with 25 people but also like then there's like the three people who are like on the lower bottom who
shouldn't be doing like the thing is with improv it's like we all know there's so many people who
go you have no business doing this at all and a lot of them it's just a all know there's so many people who go you have no business doing this
and a lot of them it's just a hobby there's gonna be one person that you know does as much work as they can and their whole life is this yeah and they have calling meetings and that's all they
think about that's their whole instagram is promoting and then there's gonna be another guy
that like has a job is going to college yeah and they're like yeah yeah i'll show up and do the
performances this is a fun hobby for me.
Yeah.
And then,
and the thing is like,
I don't,
I mean,
I guess I don't know,
maybe they write this,
but how do you go about
getting rid of somebody?
If it's like a co-op,
what do you go,
hey man,
you suck so badly.
You bomb every time
you're on stage.
How do you get rid of the bottom?
How do you get rid of the bottom people?
Because it's obviously like,
socialism is not about
just fucking getting rid
of the dead weight.
That's true.
It's all about keeping them on and supporting them.
And you can't be like...
But that's who you're left with.
Yeah.
Well, that's who you're...
Exactly.
That's who you're left with.
If you have this weird incentive structure...
You know what other thing that was kind of striking?
By the way, I really want this experiment to play out.
Yeah.
You know what?
Hopefully, it works out and some of these guys get popular.
It might work out for...
They might... Guarantee someone. Their thing might do really well and someone might get very popular. But, you know what hopefully it works out and some of these guys get popular it might work out for i guarantee someone their thing might do really well and someone might get very popular and
but you know whatever yeah and then there'll be this awkward conversation where they have like
the biggest movie in america and they just made 20 million dollars and they get 25 phone calls
being like hey remember that co-op we were in that you're still in technically because we did a blood oath.
How do I go about getting that money?
How do I go about getting my milli?
Oh, yeah, I'm a capitalist now.
Click.
Yeah, right?
But there's, you know, there is this like kind of idea where people always talk about like, why are some people optimism and why are some people pessimist?
And there's actually you can sort of attach incentives to it.
Like it's for one, it's easier to be especially if you're less creative it's easier to be a pessimist because it's easier to say why things won't get better than it is to imagine uh scenarios where it would get better that don't exist yet right so you have to honestly be creative and that's why like entrepreneurial people are more optimistic
right and whereas when you see people in the news or people that are commentators they're
incentivized to be pessimistic and a lot of people and the pessimism does better in their line of
work too it also does so exactly right and then even in people's own lives it's easier to go you know you
go dude i don't have a job i don't have this like it's all of the potential things that you haven't
thought of of how it could get better that's so much more difficult to imagine than how it might
get worse i could get fired again i could get like cut off of this. This person could kick me out of their house.
Like, so it takes more creativity
to imagine why things are gonna be better
than it does to know why they're worse.
And in this specifically,
instead of, if they're not liking the way things are going
and instead of imagining, you know, a new way,
which is, you know, in my opinion, decentralization,
you go, they go,
we don't like the way that the things are going.
It's like, well well there's already uh an option that's uh that's tearing down the
way the industries do things everyone's running their own personal little business like
decentralization is the problem to like a problematic systemized if you don't like the
way the mainstream is running it there already is a solution and that's like the decentralization
of all these industries and i will say this just like because they're saying we got to start this thing or whatever but like in toronto in the 80s
the kids in the hall just like they didn't have a fucking place they just went to the rivoli
and they just did their show there they just were like you know they didn't go they like
they didn't sign a job they didn't sign a lease exactly they like it to be like a job like they
didn't sign a lease the kids in the hall they just were like we're gonna put on a show where
you like doing sketch comedy yeah and they're like we're just gonna put on a
show like you know we know a million people do where there's no contractual obligation any week
you should be like all right we're done with this yeah we quit we quit we're not doing this anymore
and that's it and then they just like got big because they were amazing exactly yeah yeah so
you know there's the there's the present ways of doing it than that and then there's these kind of
like old ways.
And they're just like, instead of being like, we don't like this, they go, remember that
old thing that like got tried a million times?
They're like, maybe that here.
Because it's almost just like not a creative way of thinking of problems.
It's the difference between like problem solving and just like you can't leave like an ideology.
But again, this is not against any of those people.
Like there's probably, there probably is some super funny people in this fucking thing.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, one of them.
Yeah, exactly.
It's basically just in music saying, hey, we're going to create a 25-person band, and
we all own equally.
It's like with the arcade whatever thing or whatever.
No, no, no.
Broken social scene.
Those don't work like that.
No, broken social scene.
That's the one where they have 25 people, right?
Yes, but they all have their own different individual songwriting rights, and it's like
they don't all make the same amount of money no i don't know a hundred percent and
they don't like you know they'll be like oh uh broken social scenes playing and then everybody's
like where's feist and she's like she comes never okay you might see her once when fucking once a
year yeah yeah yeah then you get the rest of the riffraff who is like not fucking doing a wedding
that weekend and then but like everybody's yeah, there's a pecking order.
And one of you guys is a huge star.
And then everybody's like,
there's a few other big,
there's a few other devices.
The one.
Yeah.
She was the biggest.
Yeah.
One,
two,
three,
four,
a big Apple commercial.
Oh,
she's got lots of fucking.
So they said more than a year and a half into the pandemic.
We've come to,
to expect the unexpected.
Perhaps the socialist revolution can start an improv comedy. probably won't but i'm gonna say 80 chance it
does yeah there you go it's and it's speaking to the that it's speaking to the charged political
moment of social reckoning when institutions at large and small are being re-evaluated on their
diversity equity and workplace harassment policies so yeah four years ago well
that was what you're kind of saying is my second point so the first point is that you know obviously
when someone's jim carrey we're gonna it's gonna be difficult right but the bigger point is there
these these kind of solutions is what the industry's already doing right so it's kind of solutions is what the industry's already doing, right?
So it's kind of like,
hey, what about more of like a socialized thing?
So if they're saying like,
hey, we're this,
they're kind of,
you sort of present yourself as like,
I have this conversation always with comedians even,
you know,
because we're friends with so many diverse opinions, right?
Like we have fucking buddies that do comedy
where they're fucking straight up communists
and all sorts of different, you know, that's the funny thing about comedy.
It's like, you'll see your buddy, he'll do 10 minutes on like how men are the worst.
And you'd be like, Hey, here's a tag for that.
Like, cause you're so focused on like whether it's funny or not.
Right.
And I think that, uh, with these people, it's like the idea here from like a straight up,
um, branding perspective is they're saying we're saying we're sort of different than the industry.
But the only thing different is like,
we're a bit more of it.
Yeah, that's true.
Right?
Because they're saying it's like,
hey, we're like,
it's going to be like socialism and diversity and equity.
And you go, oh, like Comedy Central.
It's like, no, more.
And then there's like the three straight white guys there
who are like oh oh yeah
i guess i'm gonna have to start sucking some dicks or something because this is getting scary
but if you're this like underground thing and you want to be different from hollywood yeah
well that this is what hollywood is right now so when you look at hollywood it's the equivalent of
being you know right now if you go i'm going to differentiate myself how it's like oh i'm going to support
black lives matter that's gonna be my thing and you're just like that's what dude every actor is
doing that and they're like do it more not you know so it's irrelevant of what the things are
it's just it's not different it's kind of like what's already happening and that is the mainstream
so it's not some like new thing that is the mainstream of entertainment right now yeah
also these are just people doing pretend so just let them have their boy with these things have a
lot of fights in that co-op again it's like you know exactly how this is gonna end this is gonna
go full animal farm style there's gonna be the fucking guards there's gonna be like the lower
people they're gonna oh yeah they're to eventually split themselves up into a like
higher class lower class it's going to just it's like i said if comedy theaters aren't a path to
getting rich or famous perhaps one show at the los angeles performance world uh can show that
there's power in socialism it's a model based less on propping up local celebs and more about supporting a theater because of its perceived morals and ethics.
So the problem is kind of there's this idea that it'll be about like community or whatever.
The problem is you're taking a bunch of people that like really want to be famous and that's just the it's like talk about uh there might be someone who is
you know they're very bernie sanders principled the problem is i'm in this industry i've been in
this industry my whole life every all these people want to be celebrities absolutely i'll tell you
what the people that are the most like you know they all want to be left wing they talk less
about comedy and they talk like i was talking to you know some la people this weekend that are the most politically left-wing, they talk less about comedy.
I was talking to some LA people this weekend
that are the most of all this stuff.
And you know what they talk about?
Oh, so-and-so just did a late night thing.
Someone got hired on this writing job.
Oh, do you want to get on this industry?
They're all very, how do you move up this system?
They want to be successful.
They moved to LA or new york from their hometown they told their parents you know who a lot of times have money
that i'm gonna be a fucking comic and their parents are like all right we'll support you
it's like they want to be famous right 100 and the whole what was the line the morals and ethics
line that you said they said a model that's based less on propping up celebrity local celebrities and more on supporting the
theater itself yes because of its perceived morals and ethics okay people do not go to fucking watch
comedy for the morals and ethics they watch it to laugh it's like saying i go watch the nba
for their morals and ethics maybe you're like oh some Oh, people do. No, no, no.
You're like,
I like it when LeBron James like fucking has good morals and ethics and all that stuff.
Yeah.
But he still has to be LeBron James first.
Yes.
Like you can't like,
he can't just be like,
Oh,
LeBron James,
he can't make a basket,
but man,
his morals and ethics are great.
But what they also described is like any theater or comedy club,
which again,
this works better in probably a small town where there aren't celebs. the idea of a comedy club it's there i mean the corner was that where
it's like you like the people there but really you're like oh that place is cool so that's what
they're saying they're kind of like we all have ownership in this place that's cool which is to
some degree true sure you know and it's like why is it cool it's like well we're the most you know
this we're like the place you go if you kind of think all this stuff and we align with you and
you're gonna see that kind of comedy yeah it's just all breaks down when someone's really famous
they'll leave but the um or if there's like a you know or if there's a financial problem where they
go hey like you for us to make like you know we're not doing that well so we need money to
keep our lights on yeah it's just like a pretty standard problem.
And all the people.
And they go, everybody, we need $200 from every person.
And then people are like, I don't have it.
Well, if someone.
That's very true.
And then someone has to be like, okay, well, you know, this guy over here, he has more money.
So why don't you put in $600 and cover two of us?
You're like, well, I want to own more.
And then he goes, yeah, I want more.
And they go, no, no, no, we want.
And then you have your literally goes, well, that that's not fair you have all your infighting because if someone owned it it's
like that that is kind of necessary in these things too because these are very like age specific in a
lot of ways so someone that's 20 kind of comes in or whatever and they build this whole thing and
they have this vision well let's say 10 years from now 15 years ago everyone's left you just
have a new people that weren't really part of this it's just going to keep it there's a reason why there's such a thing as a hierarchy
like in a business a hierarchy works for that reason if your hierarchy doesn't exist and it's
just one flat column or like whatever you know just like one where everybody you know it's mayhem
it's like it doesn't work so they're kind of saying all that they're you know right now the
industry is driven by a white led power structure that
marginalizes diverse voices.
So we're going to do it differently.
And it's just like,
you know,
there's like pop music is the mainstream of music.
This is the equivalent of being like,
well,
we're super pop music.
Cause it's just,
you know,
they're already saying all that stuff.
The comedy co-ops hopes to allow performers to set their own ticket prices and take advantage
of the door so i mean we are you can already set your ticket prices yeah i mean nobody's stopping
you can already take your prices yeah i set my ticket not only that there's so many venues where
they go yeah you can have the whole door just let me sell fucking chips and yeah chips it's a pretty
basic part i guess now they're they're seizing the means of production. I guess UCB didn't.
They're basing this on this other one where it's like they really scammed you.
Yeah, UCB fucked you over.
It's like they're coming out and they're like, we have this idea.
Hear me out.
I know it's wacky.
People can set their ticket price.
You're like, what have you been doing for 10 years?
They're like, UCB.
But also, there's going to be four people who are super famous who are going to like,
this is just going to turn into a new UCB. Well, that's the problem be four people who are super famous who are going to like, this is just going to turn into a new TV.
Well, that's the problem.
Socialists want to be famous.
And there's a big career in being an internet socialist.
And they want to be famous more than they want this stuff.
And that's the same.
You know what I was kind of thinking about that's funny?
Do you know on Love Island, you know, all these Hollywood people that make shows like
that, they kind of come out and they say we're all for all the right stuff.
Two people have committed suicide on that show.
Like on the, like, like.
No, afterwards,
because they do like a lie detector test.
I was going to say,
I was like, I might go watch it.
So they do,
well, they do like a lie detector test
and some people,
all this crazy stuff came out
and they became the villains of the internet
and they killed themselves.
Two or maybe more.
I don't know.
Some people have killed themselves,
but it's like they keep doing it
and be like
where are your ethics now
and they're like
yo
I'm at the women's march bro
yeah exactly
yeah but I'll be
at the women's march
I didn't fucking
pull the trigger
I had expressed
that I was a socialist
he said in a recent interview
and they were like
will you have a committee
for censorship
and cancelling comedians
so someone was saying
that facetiously to them
and they said what
no
that's a misinformed idea
that when people hear a socialist or worker cooperative,
they think censorship.
So I'd just say, want to bet?
Again, I'm like someone who likes good comedy gossip
and kind of like infighting.
It's going to be fun to watch.
Well, they're saying they'll deal with it internally,
which might be like they put them in the middle of the circle
and you go, shame.
Yeah, yeah, shame.
Struggle sessions. Shame. Shame. Shame. shame shame they all hit them with a feather shame so that's
uh i mean the thing like you've just seen this idea a million times i mean it's a band
it's just yeah it's like everybody knows that yes on paper this sounds great everybody will nobody will dispute that on paper
i don't know if it sounds that great on paper at least to them it does but you're like in practice
the idea of it's romantic exactly and you're like great you know we all get to share in the money
and you know that there's not going to be some mean dude who or person who runs it's always easy
until there's money who takes all the profits
yeah yeah like we're losing money like great who cares but it's like oh even better is when there's
one owner who's fucking like struggling and is running this whole place and losing money and
pulling his hair out and everyone's like ah it sucks yeah as long as we get our 20 bucks a spot
or whatever i've seen that you know and then you're like oh the person's fucking turns it around and is making all this money and people are like what the fuck yeah you're making money off of me
but yeah then there's the extremes where the like you said a ucb where it's the opposite it's like
i mean it's to some degree there is like a social pressure for owners to you know operate somewhat
reasonably yeah like within market rates of like what it is
no question ucb were pieces of shit well yeah you look around everywhere else and they go there's
how much they're paying they're like how much do you pay and they're like that's the thing
have you ever heard a little thing called slavery how much how much do you pay people
it's like we well if anything we gave them a million dollars worth of improv courses so
we the way we see it, they owe us money.
And we've been nice enough to cancel that debt.
It's kind of an indentured servitude scenario.
They're just working off the...
Snake eyes, pal.
So I'll just do a couple more things here.
They go, this one is kind of funny.
And again, I hate, I'm just trashing this guy.
Like this guy just might be some improv guy and he might be funny. But he goes, I was at one of the early funny. And again, I hate, I'm just trashing this guy. Like this guy just might be some improv guy
and he might be funny,
but he goes, I was at one of the early meetings
and James asked, what's 2% of 2000?
And I threw the number out, says the actor comedian.
Oh, it's $40.
And he was like, oh God, you're good with numbers.
So you should be the money committee.
So this guy who can understand simple arithmetics got it.
I mean, honestly, that was one of the things
that I was most made sense.
I go, yeah, I guess you're letting people play to their strengths.
2% of 2,000.
It's like, how funny.
So you're the only guy in the whole improv team that can do simple percentages.
And that's going to be the guy who basically ends up embezzling all the fun.
He's like, these idiots can't even take.
He goes, how fast fast you have to like even
the the dumbest like the person who's like really not good at math you go it's two percent of one
thousand you could do in about 10 seconds or you know 10 milliseconds they know you just double
that it's like yeah yeah there's always something that embezzles money well they finish the show
they have a thousand000 in their pocket.
No one was really keeping track.
And then they're like, all right, let's split that 25 ways.
And you go, yeah.
We will split that $500 25 ways.
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
The 300s get split.
300.
Split it up.
Split it up.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, they're having fun.
It's more of an LA times in the media that's what
i'm saying it's like a bunch of people want to start their 25 person thing and do an improv
thing and you know what there's a chance that one of them pops off and that's like anything else
but this you know la times being like is this the future of the entertainment industry no the future
of the entertainment industry is decentralization that's yes unless it was government imposed the
future of the industry is like clearly look around at who's
popular who's doing well and
what the trend is the trend is
that people
being able to speak directly to their consumers
and directly to people who like them
they didn't even reference that
the whole industry's changed where it's like
if you want to write a book you can just make it
you can put it on the internet if you want to start a YouTube
channel you can just do that you can be supported on patreon.com
slash the boys cast by people who directly specifically like you without going to comedy
central and demanding that their gatekeepers uh you know approve of what new what people younger
than them like in a culture that they're out of touch with so no that's the future but it's
amazing that in this article that's purportedly journalism.
And then they ask this question,
is this the future?
There was no thing where we go,
or maybe the future is like,
you know how we go on YouTube every day
and TikTok and all that stuff.
Like that never just came up.
Yeah.
That might be the future.
You're going by,
you go, all these people.
You're the LA Times,
the epicenter of fucking entertainment in the world.
That's correct.
And you go, all these people like YouTubers and you have the dumbass walls with the influencers,
take photos of, and that never even just pops up in the article.
Maybe that's the future?
Maybe this new thing that has clearly presented itself as the future, undebatably, where you
go, who's the biggest celebrities in the world right now?
