And I'd still see them out from the night before.
They have wait watchers meetings?
Yeah, you have to go to meetings.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, you have to go to meetings.
So it's like an alcoholic's anonymous thing?
Yeah, you have to go.
They weigh you.
And they talk about knowledge for an hour.
How to avoid this?
How to avoid that?
When you go on vacation, eat the toast with the big potato,
you know, a little shit like that, you know.
Eat toast with big potato?
I'm just saying, you know what the fuck.
They just, it's like 35 minutes.
You go in, you pay your dues, and you get the fuck out of it.
Huh.
Some people weigh in, some people don't weigh in
Some people go down there just to not lose weight at all
They'll go there every fucking week just to get out of the house
It really is an amazing thing, you know
But they have them like at 9-11
Isn't that what happens with a lot of people
They get involved with almost anything
Like there's a lot of things that people do
Where they're just trying to get out of the house
Whether it's going bowling
And I remember I went to a Renaissance fair once
And there was, you know
Everyone in the Renaissance Fair
Pretty much everyone took
talks like they're from another time.
Right. They are, me lady, you know, does thou want, you know, they speak that way.
But this one lady wouldn't do it.
She was breaking character.
Like she was just there to hang out.
And she was complaining about her husband.
Her husband won't take his medicine.
I went to the pharmacy.
I got him all this medicine.
And this other chick was pissed off that she wouldn't, you know, go along with it.
She goes, sorry, I don't understand.
What dost thou mean about medication and prescriptions?
what are thy speaking about?
Like she was speaking, you know,
she was like trying to,
and the other bitch was like mad at her.
Like, come on, cut this shit.
I'm talking about my,
I'm trying to complain here.
She was just trying to complain.
She wasn't into being in a Renaissance fair.
She just wanted to get the fuck out of the house
and bitch and wine.
And so she put on some crazy European outfit
and went out to this Renaissance fair
and was just trying to treat it like
it was just a normal coffee shop,
just hang out and whine about things.
My dad does it in Florida.
He retired.
He moved down there.
He was bored.
He does this.
like community patrol thing in a police car, like the sheriff's office hasn't.
He does it like four hours a week.
They give him a real uniform.
He goes around and he had to lend the codes for things.
He's going to shoot a black dude.
No, they don't go with the gun.
What's his name?
Zimmerman.
That's where he started out.
It's, we had this conversation on your podcast about, I always believe that if you
want to do something, you know, you just keep showing up, you know.
And I thought about it after like when I lived in Seattle.
Seattle was my real open mic era.
So on Mondays and Tuesdays, let's say 20 people were there.
That's what the list was.
20 people, everybody had six minutes, seven minutes.
The last two guys probably had 10 minutes.
I said that those 20 people, seven of them were just there to fill a void.
But do you goof on them?
No.
That's what works for them.
They have a local job.
They just want to do common.
as a hobby, you know, but that happens in everything.
I went to, today, I said, fuck it.
I was sitting there.
I had nothing going on.
I said, you know what I'm going to try these knee pads?
Because when I tried the knee pad first after the surgery, it didn't fit.
So I put this knee pad on.
I go, it fits.
I put my Gipan's on.
Just go to Jiu-Jitsu and just do hip escapes.
That's it.
Just make the legs go that way, make them go this way.
Once I'm getting tired, I'll get the fuck out of it.
The dog I was drenched.
And there's a big difference between elliptical sweat and jujitsu.
too sweat.
Jiu-Jitsu sweat.
You know when you got it's on your neck and shit
it's coming out of your head, paws, and shit.
It's tremendous.
You're doing no ghee, right?
No, I do gee.
When you do a ghee and you know you're working out
when you take that glee and you just fucking ring it out.
Oh, Jesus.
When you get that big, heavy, thick canvas ghee
and it just soaked.
Oh, my God.
I went to pick it up just now.
Let's see if I could throw it in the hamper yet.
The smell.
The neck was still wet.
Oh, the neck was still wet.
I was like it's six fucking hours later.
But it's funny, I went down there today,
and Tuesdays and Thursdays is a very small class
compared to their night classes.
But there's one guy that walks into class,
dressed with his gear ready.
No warm-up.
I've never been there at 12.30.
Goes, sits down, his feet are always dirty.
Sits down like Kung Fu.
Doesn't do hip, doesn't do any of the warm-up.
sits there watches the technique
does it five times on each side
gets up bows and walks off
and that's all he does he just wants to do a couple drills
that's it and he works as a security
where are you training that what place down the blacks
right around the point it's called v mac there right around the corner
I'll bounce like I'll go to v mac
but vmack doesn't have all the classes
and I can't do Wednesday nights I can't do Monday nights
I'm doing this so Monday days I'll go to Higgins
I'll shoot down the Beverly
Hills and I'll go to Hegan's.
I went there for the whole month of August and a little bit of July.
So now when this gets better, I'll go to Hegan's at 11.
It's 11 to 1215 real quick.
And where's Hegan that?
Beverly Hills, behind the tuxedo shop.
Higin used to have a place in like Redondo, right?
I'm not sure.
No, no, no, that was the other brother.
That was Hodger.
Who's got the place by the ice house that we owe is John?
John, yeah, I think.
Carlos is in Dallas, and John Jacques is in Tarzana.
And John Juck is apparently opening up a place in Austin, too, with Todd White.
Yes.
Somebody's opening up something in Austin.
Yeah, because Todd White was, he's one of John Jock's black belts.
He's the artist.
He used to work for Nickelode, and now he does this amazing cocktail style, like, 1930s and 50s, almost cartoonish.
Really cool stuff.
And he's super popular.
Like, he can't turn out art enough.
Like, everybody wants to buy Todd White's stuff.
Right, right, right, yeah, yeah.
I went to a friend's house.
and she had a Todd White thing on the wall, like, years ago.
It's like, this is crazy.
It's my friend Todd's.
Like, this is nuts.
He's making bank right now.
Is he not?
Like, just kill him.
Like, his average pick,
because somebody was telling me the whole thing, it's ridiculous.
Ballin.
Out of control.
How art is.
It's amazing.
Well, that's that art thing is a weird world.
Like, once you become, like, a guy that everybody wants to have a piece,
I want a original Joe Diaz.
And, you know, it becomes like a thing that these art people,
I was talking to a friend who explained it to me,
And he was saying that they manufacture it.
What they'll do is they'll get an artist.
And then they take a bunch of people that they already have connections with,
like really big people that buy $50,000 paintings, like nutty.
And they buy them as investment or because they like art?
They buy them as investments.
They buy them because it's a hobby.
It's a thing for them.
It's like, you know those crazy wine people?
Those people that are like that with art.
They're crazy art people.
They just buy art.
And the gallery will contact them and say, listen,
There's a guy who's coming up.
He is phenomenal.
And just I want to gift you a piece because you're such a loyal customer and I'm going to
gift you a $25,000 painting.
You know, because for a guy who's buying millions of dollars worth of art, because a lot of
these guys actually do buy millions of dollars worth art from a particular gallery.
Gifting a guy at $25,000 piece is just an investment.
But it's not really a $25,000 piece.
It's a $25,000 piece because they say it's a $25,000 piece.
So you gift four or five guys, these big high roller guys, these pieces.
Now, they're in the art community.
Well, who's that?
That's an original Joe Diaz.
Yeah, the gallery gave it to me.
It's a $25,000 piece.
The guy's incredible.
Wow.
Yeah, he's having a, there's going to be a gallery show in October.
So then they put on the gallery show in October.
The prices have already been established.
And then you see $35,000.
Nobody flinches, and they just start buying them like hotcakes.
Why?
Because these big shots.
already have the $25,000 pieces.
So they create this bizarre bubble, this bizarre market.
And they do it by giving these really big high rollers expensive pieces.
It's really fascinating.
It really is.
Yeah.
Smart.
I mean, they just, look, you know what it is?
It's like it's a hustle.
They figure out how to get in with these people.
They figure out how to just how to make it.
Like, I was hearing about there's certain handbags that really rich broads are really into these certain bags.
I don't remember the name of it.
But you have to have a relationship with the people that sell the bags in order to even buy a bag.
Like, you can't just go in off the street.
You have to have already been a client.
So, like, you have to buy a bag to get a bag.
So it becomes exclusive.
So because it's exclusive, they're selling these bags for, like, $50,000.
And I'm like, how the fuck is someone paying $50,000 for a purse?
It's a bag.
It's not a Ferrari.
You can't drive it.
It's not, there's nothing.
There's no.
crazy engineering involved in this. It's not like a watch that some guy made by hand and he's got fucking giant goggles on. It takes six years to make a one. No, no, no, it's a fucking purse. But because they've engineered this exclusivity, they've arranged it and they just, they worked that market, that market of people with incredible wealth. Because especially where we are, we don't even realize it. You know, you grew up in a place where it was like blue collar and, you know,
nobody was multi multi-millionaire, but there's places like Brentwood or, you know, Belair, where you might have
a hundred people in a mile radius that have a hundred million dollars. Like, that's not uncommon.
I mean, there's insane money in certain areas. When you're looking at these homes, there's a $25 million
home. That's a $30 million estate. This house is going for $50 million. I mean, there's a lot of that
in this area and all they have to do is tap into those folks because they have insane disposable income
and what's expensive to you or I is not expensive to them it's nothing 25,000 dollars for a painting
ain't shit for them so they figure out a way to weasel into that world and then it becomes about
that world then it becomes about that exclusivity you know this is an original Joe Diaz look at that on the
wall very nice where'd you get it well you know the gallery you know they've got a show coming up a
I love this use of color.
They're just trying to find ways to spend their fucking money.
I mean, they might have a house in Costa Rica.
They've got a fucking house in Canada.
You know what I mean?
Like, there's a lot of those people in L.A.
That are just stupid rich.
I heard that there's, like, a social network now that you have to pay, like, 10 grand to get into.
Have you heard about that?
No.
What's it called?
I'm trying to find it right now.
Here we go.
Social network that costs 9,000 to join.
Fucking idiots.
Let me see how to find it.
Facebook is free, stupid.
Okay.
What are you going to get out of this social network?
Are they going to blow you?
It's called Metropolitan.
Metropolitan.
It's 6,000 to join and an additional 3,000 that renews annually to keep, to continue access.
Oh, my God.
Is anybody joining?
You have to be 21.
Let's see if it says.
They're not sharing how many members.
Of course or not.
There's two people in it.
Oh, my God.
You have to be a real asshole.
I can't imagine.
What if a.
Hens breaks in a $50,000 bag.
What if a nail polish thing spills?
What if your dog pisses on it?
It's amazing.
I went to the park.
I go to the park every fucking day,
but the other day I went to the park
and I heard women talking.
And they were talking about daycare prices
in the area that they went shopping.
But what about that one in Van Hise?
And she goes, oh, my God.
I looked at the web page and it was just,
I thought I was dizzy.
I was on the swing.
and they were on, you know, my baby was on the swing,
and I was bunners, so I could hear them talking on the swing.
And they were talking about how you have to get on a list
to get your kid into this fucking daycare.
Like, you have to know somebody,
and then they have to get you on the list.
And it's exclusive in Van Nuys.
And I'm going, like, how did they make it exclusive?
Like, what do the kids do that's different?
Is there a security guard?
Do they fucking fish, you know,
Give them a chef.
Right.
I mean, are they gluten-free meals?
I mean, you know, I think I want my kid to get a little fucking dirty.
I mean, but they were talking, I heard them talking about like percentages.
Like, let's say every other daycare around, there's 200 a week.
This place wound up like 1,200 a week.
1,200?
Like, something just fucking ridiculous.
Something just ridiculous in Van Nuys, you know?
And it's the same thing, how they just make it exclusive.
It's exclusive.
Do you have to get on a fucking list?
A list for what?
So my kid could play with fucking blocks?
Hmm.
Maybe it's just, they just have a great setup.
I mean, maybe it's just like...
How great of a setup could it be,
1,200 a week sounds insane.
Well, that doesn't make any sense.
With comparison to what a regular daycare is,
this is how much more it was.
Wow.
And they had like, just you have to get on at six months.
And if your child's not potty trained,
and I went home and I'm thinking about it.
I asked my wife, but she goes, oh, yeah,
they got them all over like that,
that you, the one by the house,
by Marie ETC.
See?
Yeah.
That's a Christian church that half the waiting list are Jewish people.
What?
From Orange County to put their kids in that daycare because the daycare is just that good.
What about pet hotels where they give them like TVs and beds?
Have you heard about that?
Yeah.
They put it like animal planet all day.
Animal planet all day.
It's, you know, and listen, man, it's whatever the fuck you pay for, whatever you believe, man.
you know
it's just fucking amazing
it's 25,000 for a picture
or whatever a fucking artist
and you sit there
and I've been to those things
my buddy in New York
is like a great framer
his shop is in the lower east side
and whenever I go back
he gives me a hug
and he kisses me on both cheeks
I mean it's not his fault
you know what I'm saying
that's for a living
but there's a lot of really good shows
and I think
I don't think audio is the future of entertainment
I think it has a future
has a future
But it's not the future because there's always going to be people that want to see things.
I'm not saying videos going away.
Obviously, videos great.
But when the name of the game is advertisers and advertising money, that's like the end goal for all of this,
if you're losing people for eight hours a day.
I think what's great about these podcasts is the people like middle class and are really listening to it.
There are higher-level people doing it.
But if you can't listen during the day, you're probably a little bit out of the loop podcast-wise.
you would think.
So if you can't watch video during the day,
you don't have all those ads.
I just think there's going to be a lot more of that scripted podcasts,
reality podcasts.
I think there's going to be everything.
Because you have so much more access.
Yeah,
you have a lot of possibilities.
How many people do you think of really listening throughout the day?
That's all I did when I came here.
That's how I found Joey.
Through your podcast,
I was listening all day at my job.
But isn't that unusual to have a job that allows you to do that?
How usual is that?
You go on a plane, there's people watching a movie typing with earphones on.
Okay, in today's market, people have an assignment or they have the type of report.
They have you on.
They're not watching you on YouTube, but they're listening to you.
They're listening to Bill Burr, listen to NPR.
They're listening to the Comedy Central podcast.
They're listening.
They have 40 fucking hours to kill on that fucking computer gaining hemorrhoids by the day.
You know what I'm saying?
They listen to two podcasts.
They get up.
for a walk, they smoke a cigarette, they drink a cup of coffee, they come back, they do a little
work to listen to another podcast. You know, if you're a night security guy, you work fucking,
you know, all those hours at night, you're lonely in a car sitting there. That's when you listen.
So if we're each an hour and a half apiece, two hours, you got a lot of time at night to listen
the podcast. We're the kings of the third crew, Joe Rogan. Yeah, right?
We are the kings of the third crew. People that work midnight to eight, whether they're in
Australia, China, New Jersey, California,
that's who listens to this while they're stocking fucking trucks or, you know,
fucking product at a supermarket.
You've got a supermarket at 2 in the morning?
And the guys are stocking, they got earphones on with the black gloves,
and they put an ice cream in the cases.
They listen to everything.
To Jim Norton's podcast, listen to Opie and Jimmy, you know,
whatever the fuck, Jimmy and whatever,
they listen to the dude that used to be on it.
It's amazing how much of a catalog they have to.
choose from the first guy who ever recognized me was a sign spinner by my my by my job I was walking
across the street he was saying he was spinning he went to the ice house a couple times I think he was
gonna try to be a comic but yeah funny yeah ice spinner would be the perfect guy that's hilarious
this is gone to places where it's you know you look at your map at the end of the month and you
see where the people are listening to this across the world wow and you go what the fuck
you know like when the army said he went to China
He said, 200 people showed up, and they all listened to the podcast.
They're working for somebody over to Apple.
They work for Apple or something like that over there.
Well, Apple is Foxcon.
That's over in China, right?
Yeah, that's where they make the phones.
But they have America's the next.
I've known since we were 15 in summer school.
So I play his game.
I go over there.
When I was broke in 84, I fucking made deliveries from frames and pictures and shit.
And, you know, every night they go to these things.
I've been with them where they go.
they sit and they look in front of a picture and they make believe they drink wine these people
don't give you sodas they give you you you know sushi it's a social thing it's a social thing it's a
it's a big social thing to be an art collector because it shows that you have a certain amount of
taste you know like if you if you're into obscure art that's a jackson pollock mm amazing amazing
I love what he's doing here this concept is incredible I didn't know there were any current
artist getting that much money oh I thought it was old
people. No, you just have to be in that
circuit. You just have to be in that. I was
over Bob Gersh's house.
Bob Gersh is the fucking guy who owns
Gersh. He's the guy that I had to get on the
phone with. They were trying to get me
to apologize with him and see him in the wig.
And
I'm out over his house in
aspirin. It's a long fucking time ago.
And he's got this thing on his wall.
And it's like a bunch of pieces of paper.
Like it looks like tissue paper
glued onto other paper and like
a lot of paint. And
I look at it, I go, I go,
is this something his kid made?
And someone goes,
no, that's a blah, blah, blah.
And I go, what's that?
And he goes, that's worth $30,000.
I go, what the fuck are you saying?
I mean, it wasn't even big.
I mean, it was like as big as that longest yard
frame poster you have
up there, that thing.
You know, I mean, and it wasn't like an enormous
piece that took fucking 50 years to make,
you know, no, it's like a normal size
painting with like
bunch of fucking tissue glued to a thing and some scribble.
It was abstract modern art.
You know, that's what they call it.
Abstract art.
Dog shit.
Nonsense.
Unless it was your kid.
You know, if your kid made it, it would be cute.
It made sense to me.
I thought it was his kid.
It's like, what the fuck is this?
This is $30,000?
That's like when they throw their fuck,
like the counterfeit,
to live and die in L.A.,
he would throw the art.
Yeah.
And he would light him on fire.
Yes.
To live and die in L.A.
That motherfucker
movie was on
the other morning
at 6 in the morning
I put on
KTOI news
and I go
let me see
what else is on
I fucking put
that's why I remember
I put that part on
it starts with him
burning a picture
he burnt the fucking
pictures in the beginning
and at the end
you know there's those
fucking guys that do the art
and burn the picture
because
it just meant
my closure
and you know
and sitting there going
you gotta get your shit
together guy
it's fucking all over
for you know
it's the art world
is filled with a lot of pretentiousness.
But just art itself,
calling yourself an artist,
being an artist,
wearing a scarf.
When they call themselves an artist,
that's where my thing,
and then they justify it by going,
you know, you're an artist.
And I'm sitting there.
But there are artists.
What?
There are artists,
but these really pretentious artists,
they fuck up the whole concept
of being an artist.
You know, like, look,
Quentin Tarantito is a fucking artist.
Okay, that's a guy
who creates,
badass motherfucking movies. It's an art to him. You know what I mean? Like, you know, fill in the
blank. There's a little, Richard Pryor was an artist, you know, he was a real artist. He
created art on that stage. But some fuckheads, they say, you know, I'm an artist. And you just
go, ugh, blah. And you just want to throw up on him. It ruins the word. It ruins the term.
are. We're very fiddicky. What the fuck are you talking about? I'm an artist. I just, I can't be
tied down. I'm a free spirit. You don't consider yourself an artist, Joey? Oh yeah, yeah. Every
morning when I wake up, I'm going to go see artists and so how. Well, you are an artist, but you're a
comic and the comic supersedes everything else. Being a comic is, you know, it's a different, I mean,
it is without a doubt in art form, but it's, being a comic is the most important aspect of the
art form and that eliminates
any possible pretension.
There's no, you can't be pretentious to be a fucking
comic. You're a fucking joke slinger.
You know, and that's what we do.
You know?
Listen, I could never
I got invited to this wedding.
I think I told you, I got invited to this wedding.
Usually I won't fucking go to a wedding, but it was
in town and I don't go and it'd be
a nice date night for the wife.
And we get to the wedding and the people like,
oh my God, we're so happy you made it.
We put you in the celebrity table.
And I'm like, I'm not sitting.
What?
And I go, I'm not sitting on the celebrity table.
And I walked all the way of the back.
And I sat there.
You know me, dog.
Celebrity.
Who else was at the celebrity table?
Fucking Gwen Stefani and a fucking husband and the black dude from Rocky.
Apollo Creed.
Apollo Creed.
Carl Weathers.
And, you know, just a bunch of other people.
Like, mid-level.
Yeah, the black dude from Rocky.
Mid-level celebrities.
Yeah, like just, you know.
Gwen Stefani is pretty big.
Yeah, this before she got pregnant
Like this is about two years
I'm gonna be in a half
She still, she was huge
Was she huge?
Yeah, you know, I got peas right?
No, no, no, no, no
That's Furgy.
That's Furgy.
Oh, no doubt, yeah.
No doubt.
But, no, it was just really weird
that that word right there, no.
I sat in the back.
I'm no fucking celebrity table.
No, no.
And it's just, you know, man,
every time I, like, I hear shit like that,
like somebody comes at shit,
like today, I was washing the car
and somebody came in and said,
something about, oh, I saw you on this, and I want to say, I wish you would have saw me when
I robbed that fucking.
I really do, Joe, Rob.
I wish you would have saw me when I robbed the fucking, the change thing for blankets from
a Carvel one day, because I was short four bucks for a fucking 20 sack of weed.
You know what I'm saying?
I went into a Carvel because I knew they always had like fives and shit.
So I bought, like, the baseball cup with the ice cream in it to give you, like, the Kansas City
Royals.
you get pissed off.
And I stole the fucking can with the goods.
And that's what I think about.
Whenever somebody says,
ah, wow,
you know,
that role you had in the movie
and I feel like saying,
God,
do you even have a fucking idea?
Like, what are you getting?
But why is it bad
that they like you for a role in a movie?
Like,
what is it that you want to, like,
redefine yourself?
No,
it's nothing about redefining myself.
It's just about,
you know,
we're talking about my uncle,
taking me to this game
when I tried to rob him,
25 years ago at gunpoint and whatever.
We don't talk about that.
Like, Ari wanted me to tell the story on the storytellist name.
I said, Ari, if you don't know my uncle, he don't talk about it.
Like, he very, like, I apologized to him on the podcast,
and he wouldn't even, he don't go there, bro.
He's never told me, love me.
I tell him all the time.
I love you, Tia.
All right, I'll see you.
My uncle does nut fuck around.
So you know about that place?
Yeah, yeah, but how many people actually jumped?
Enough that they made nets.
It wasn't just one guy.
When you put the nets up...
And building the cell phone makes you do this?
They live there.
They live there.
They work there.
They have dorms.
They stay in the dorms.
They work all day.
It's scary.
I mean, it's a step above being a slave.
And people tell you it's a lot better than what they used to have because they didn't have any opportunity.
And this is just how industry works.
The way people describe it, they're trying to justify it.
They say this is just how industry works.
Industry works.
You come into an incredible.
incredibly deeply impoverished area, you provide them with a way out, like something or a better way.
And so that better way of working 16 hours a day, people could argue, yeah, they're working
$16 a day for a dollar a day, yeah, or whatever the wage they get, which is substantially
lower than whatever they make here.
I might be exaggerating.
You can probably Google it.
Like how much does a Foxcon employee get per hour?
But they say that that's how they're able to make these phones because they can make them in
these factories when people don't get paid as much.
But there's a bunch of people that jump off the roof.
Like, they have to put fences, nets all around the roof.
They have nets to catch people.
Like, it's bananas.
And when they talk about it, you know what they say?
They say there's so many employees at work.
There's like a half million employees.
And the suicides are directly proportional to how many,
if that was like a population of a city, that it makes sense.
That amount of people always kill themselves.
But they don't do it at work.
and they live there.
How many is it?
The only article I found was a little old,
but it was like $12 a day.
You're going to get like $400 a month.
Wow.
That's dark.
There was some dude last night on 60 minutes.
Pretty interesting.
There was two dudes.
The guy who invented the Greek yogurt.
Yeah.
He needed $700,000 and he saw a factory open up in New York
and he went to these people.
He borrowed the money.
He bought the, what's the hot Greek yogurt now?
I don't know.
I know what you're talking about.
You know, I'm talking about it.
Tremendous.
And he had to buy a plant in Twin Falls, Idaho.
And what he hires is, is refugees.
He gives them jobs, and people got pissed off at him.
And they call him.
This guy donated 10% of his factory to his employees.
Like they get 10% of the earnings every month from the company.
They break it up among, like company sharing and all this shit.
It was pretty interesting.
That story was interesting, and there was another one about a guy who's saying that these phones are programmed to program you.
Huh?
You got to watch this.
How's that work?
How's that work?
How's that work?
How's that work?
This guy's saying that the industry is programming you through computers and through the phone.
His explanation, you got to hear it when you get a minute.
It was on last night.
Can you find out how much an iPhone would cost if they made it in the United States?
I can Google it.
Yeah.
Google that.
Just out of curiosity.
So how much would an iPhone cost there now?
Well, what they cost now, I think a new...
$12 a day, they get paid.
I think a new iPhone, if you buy it in America is like $1,000, somewhere in that range.
No.
Yeah, but, you know, the cell phone company subsidizes it.
Retail it's $1,000.
You get it for $200 because Sprint wants you to...
Well, they subsidize it.
Yeah.
Not subsidize it.
What's the word of it?
looking for. They make like a lease and they put it over the term of the contract. So they spread out
the amount of money that you're getting paid or that you're paying for the phone. So if you're
going to pay 600 bucks for the phone, they spread it out over three years. So you have a three
year contract. So like you can get it for like $200 off. And so it looks great. It looks great.
But it's just factored into your monthly bill. And you have them for like three years.
I tried to pay the phone. They were like, no, they gave me all the time.
Yeah, they don't want to do that.
They don't want to do that.
They don't want to do that.
It's probably more valuable to them.
And then also you can't leave.
I guess you can leave if you have like a phone that is a, what's the word?
Without a unlocked.
Unlocked.
Jail broken.
No, no, I don't think it's that.
I think it's unlocked.
Jail broken is when you get into it and you can fuck with it, right?
Yeah, yeah.
So it says that if,
If all the components were made in the U.S.,
it would push the cost up to $600,
which they think would retail it for $2,000.
Oh, so it'd be like $1,000 bucks more.
Wow.
Hmm.
We got to pay, what, a lot more in fucking wages.
Yeah.
More than $12 a day, more like $200 a day.
Yeah, probably more than that, right?
Yeah.
What's a union wage for a factory worker?
I wonder in America.
You know, and then people say, well,
the cost of living is less over there
like okay but so's the standard of living
you know I don't know man
I'm no perfect person
I don't
and where is this where they make these phones
China
a certain city in China like a real
fucking I don't know
I don't know enough about it I probably should know more
but it's one of the dark things
about the cell phone industry
I think they said the new one
they're going to make somewhere else
why did I read that somewhere
that they're going to make the new
They changed suppliers of something recently.
I don't know.
Let's see.
Is it Canada?
Did I read that the new iPhone will be made in Canada?
Did I read that or am I making shit up?
I could Google that next.
It says the average assembly line worker makes about $13 an hour.
Wow.
That's not a lot.
I thought it'd be a lot more for a warehouse working.
Like 16, 18.
Isn't it crazy that if you paid them that?
Just paying them that, the cell phone would car.
He lost another thousand bucks.
He told me right out yesterday.
He goes, because I thought I couldn't go to the game.
And when I went, he goes, you called my daughter and told her to take me to the game.
He goes, the only person I wanted to go to the game with was you.
Not even my son's.
I like going to the game with you.
Because I take him once a year.
He's 76.
He's my mother's brother, you know.
But yesterday on the way back, he goes, I wish your mother would grow up to see what you became.
She goes at the funeral, you were a lost kid.
But when you came here, every time I looked at your eyes,
I thought of Charles Manson.
He goes, that what he said to me?
Charles Manse.
He goes, I thought about Chapman.
He goes, he could be able to do.
He goes, you were a killer.
He goes, you were either going to kill somebody?
He was telling me, bro.
He, that's what he, you know, he called me out.
Nobody had ever called me out until I was 21 years old.
You know what I'm saying?
Right.
After my mother died, he might be so sensitive.
Don't say nothing to him.
He might snap.
Right.
My uncle said, I don't give a fuck if your mother died.
that was five years ago.
Put it behind you.
It's over.
This ain't a free world, bitch.
I ain't giving you a fucking dime.
But when he said that to me last night,
that, you know, it really hit home.
He goes, you got to kill his eyes.
You were going to kill him.
You were going to kill me that fucking night.
You would have killed me.
He goes, you would have killed me for $500,000 that night.
Well, we became friends.
You were definitely a different guy in the late 90s.
Oh, please.
Yeah, yeah.
But you reminded me of everybody that I knew from the pool hall.
Like, I love being a restaurant.
you because you were like what I hated most when I first came to LA was that
when I was in New York and when I was in Boston I was surrounded by you know
East Coast people that were either comics or they were martial artists or they
were pool players it was like there was a there was a grit to them there was a
fun there was a I could talk to them you know there was real conversations to
be had and then come out here everybody
was like preparing for like we were downstairs and those people with their scripts
they're preparing and they're sitting there and I'm and I'm seeing them going over their
lines going over the thing I'm like this is hell this is hell like this
preparing for for a role and being in the the whole the whole Hollywood scene like
trying to get people to like you and hire you for things it's just this weird world
it's a weird world and here was this guy hanging out of
the comedy store, there was a total hustler. I mean, you were a total hustler, you know,
and we became friends, like, immediately. Like, we became friends, like, right away. I remember
bringing you around the fucking news radio set. And they're like, who is this guy? There's this
fucking menacing guy in a leather jacket that keeps eating all the shrimp. And, you know, for me,
it was... Even the comedy store that we loved was very goofy.
Oh, it was goofy as fuck back then. Lee saw it a couple of weeks ago. I've been taking Lee with me,
You know, I go, Lee, you want to come down?
You know, Lee's going to go, oh, I'm out for the pocket.
I'm going to come to the store.
And it was great the first three or four times that he sat there when, you know, I got a tag for you.
Oh, that was the worst.
It was the worst tag.
And I saw Tony, I had to call him and apologize the next day.
Tony Hinchcliffe.
When he was with you in Sacramento or something, I had to call him and apologize.
Why?
Because how to get the fuck out of that?
And Tony came up to me.
I'm like, Tony, I love you.
I see it.
And I felt.
Who was telling you, someone was telling you, they had a tag for you?
Well, one night.
Me and Lee were getting ready to leave.
Like, hold on.
They're like, listen, man, I heard that joke, and we've got to give you this tag.
You should say, me and we look to the church.
I don't even know.
And me and Lee's like, that was fucking weird.
And then the next night we went down again, and that's what the guys were saying.
We have this idea for a TV show.
Oh, my God.
And you're like, I just get on stage.
You know, you're walking to your car.
You're not even thinking about a TV show.
You're thinking about how you should have said the instead of cat.
You know, just dumb shit.
Of course.
And we have a word, and he was right there.
We had this idea for you for a TV show, not even how are you, what have you been up to?
And he looked at me, and we were as fuck, which really kills you when you're at the comedy.
You know, somebody's trying to sell you something.
And then Tony Hinchcliffe came, and I saw Tony and I'm like, I can't even, you know, I got to get out of here.
Like my head was about to blow up, the highness, the set, the people trying to sell me a TV show.
And the people that are trying to sell you things at the comedy store, most likely, they never saw.
sold shit before.
They just have an idea
and they think they're going to
come to you
and that's how they're
going to do a TV show.
Right, and it was just
the idea we looked at each other
like, oh, they fuck.
I mean, it was just,
so I understand that.
Like, at the comedy store
there's always that one person
that you find Warmsden.
And I found it with you
because everybody at the com,
everybody at that time
was looking to get
on a show to quit comedy.
There was a big of that.
People would get on a TV show
and that was it.
And it happened like four or five times.
And here's this guy that tapes a great show.
And after the 10-hour, 12-hour shoot,
still comes and does this $15 set in the original room at 12 o'clock.
I couldn't figure it out.
Most people would just go home and go,
fuck standoff.
That's below me.
You know, fuck standout.
I don't know write a joke, you know.
And it's really weird to people that have stuck it up
and will always be stand-ups.
like I always give those guys respect
don't come back to it after the show got canceled
and do stand-up
while your show is on
you tell your agents
hey those weeks that you don't have me up
at Warner Brothers
I want to be out the whole fucking summer
I want to do this
oh no well the show doesn't want you to curse on stage
or say any fact jokes on stage
no shit that's what they did in Tim Allen
no shit you know
Bob Saggett too
yeah no shit so you have to
and here I'm watching this guy that's going
against everybody else he's going against what everybody else believes everybody
wants to use to call us some a means to the end and end for the means means a
means to an end that's it I that in my life that's not how I felt to me if I got
on a show that just helps me that'll help me get up there and it gets easier now
when I go to a club in Iowa my dream was to get in the car and pull a Mitch
Headbury and go to all these clubs just drive across country one time you know
be on a TV show, do the 26 episodes,
but once that shit's over,
we're getting your car and go,
Bon Voyage, I'm out of here,
and just go across the country,
and you see a funny bone jump in there.
You see a comedy catch jump in there.
Yeah.
You see a comedy saloon jump in there.
You see a pizza place with an open mic,
and you're in Minneapolis?
Fuck, jump in there.
You do that for six or seven weeks as a stand-up comic.
And people go, well, I just thought you were on TV.
I didn't know you were this fucking funny,
or this is what I do.
I didn't give a fuck.
I didn't, I didn't, when I was growing up, when I was watching Charles Brons,
I loved Charles Brons.
I loved when he killed somebody.
I loved all that shit with the cheer of me foony with the fly.
But I never thought I was going to do that.
I thought that I would always be an extra if they ever used me.
I thought that they were going to come to the comedy store and say,
hey, you, you want to be in my movie?
You know, I've watched Hollywood Nights.
You ever see Hollywood Nights and Tony Danz and Michelle Pfeiffer?
You see really all the people around them are?
Comics in the Comedy Store.
Arlis.
T.K. Carter
is the black guy
that's doing the fraternity run.
The dude who had the show
on married men,
Mike Binder.
He's the fucking,
the kid who has to...
Mind of a married man.
Mind of a married man.
He's the motherfucker.
Hollywood Knights is a famous
place that's closing down
on Hollywood Boulevard.
But these Hollywood Knights,
they have to...
I don't forget.
It's just, but there's scenes
where they take these black guys
and they put sheets on them
and they make them walk through a white nail.
I mean, it was just crazy.
And the people pissing the punch.
But if you look at all the comedy in that movie,
they just went into the store
and picked up a bunch of motherfuckers
when they put them in there.
The same thing with Gabe Kaplan,
who we grew up with.
The same thing with Jimmy Walker.
You know, suppose they cut the deal to Good Time
in the back in one of the boots there,
Freddie Prince.
That's what we came from.
But you always remain the standout.
You always, that was your roots.
When I came here,
I got here and they said,
oh, you got to go for an audition from my PD Boo.
I didn't go to an acting.
I didn't know nothing about that.
I knew nothing about that, dog.
I knew nothing about commercials.
I thought they shot commercials and fucking Mars.
I didn't know the fuck they shot commercials.
I came to me.
Seriously, I'm not lying to you fucking commercials.
I came in and they go,
your face is great for commercial.
Okay.
Yeah, I don't know.
I know nothing.
I didn't even know.
I never even thought about shooting fucking commercials.
I got a friend of mine.
Was analyzed that?
Was that your first big movie?
Basketball.
Basketball.
That's when I first started hanging out.
That's right.
I popped the movie and shit by mistake.
I went to NYPD Blue, didn't get it.
And as I was walking by a door, a lady pops out.
She goes, you're here for your audition, I guess so.
She gave me a sheet of paper.
I read it, and boom, I booked three weeks of five grand.
I never saw nothing like that in my life.
Wow.
I snorted every penny to the fucking...
And then I robbed the fucking roller skates.
I robbed a different pair of roller skates every fucking day.
All right?
Every day I went and I returned them at five guys.
What is that?
The five sports guys?
I think I'm fucking kidding you.
I would get to my room.
There'd be a size 13.
I'd wear them.
I put them back in the box and clip them.
The lady would come with a wardrobe.
Anybody see the roller skates on it?
No, I put them in a wardrobe.
Okay.
Every day for three weeks?
Every day.
Come back again, size 13, and then they started giving me size 12.
We don't know what happened to all the 13th?
Me neither.
What the fuck?
What the fuck's going on here?
Then they ran out of 12.
They went down at 11th.
You got to put it 11?
Oh, I was coming home with Band-Aids, but I didn't give a fuck.
They're 140 a pop plus tax when I return them.
And they were seeing every day, the same sporting guys.
How you doing?
What happened?
Your grandma gave me this for-cred.
How'd you know?
What do you want?
Cash and check?
Let me get some cash, you'll stop and get gas.
By the time I quit, by the time I stopped,
Stop shooting. I was down for like a size eight and a half.
But you know, I think if you look at who they were, they were amazing.
I mean, their finished product, what they were able to put together was fucking amazing.
And whether it came out of those four guys' heads or those four guys' heads and some other people's heads, too,
it's the effort, the culminative effort of those artists to put all that music together and make these insane songs.
The real problem is somebody didn't get credit for it.
That's the real problem.
The real problem is somebody didn't get paid, you know, and they definitely used it for
their end product.
So if you looked at it, like, say if you had a car, you were putting together a car, and there's
a bunch of different components, there's a transmission, there's the engine, but they want
to put your transmission in, you know, but they don't want to pay you for your design.
So they just copy it and put it in there.
And then you find out, hey, but this is all my engineering.
I did all this research and development, and all you did is copy it, exactly.
They should, they're supposed to say, yeah, you're right, here's some money.
and then the question would be, well, how much money they deserve?
That's the problem, because they probably deserve a fuck load of money.
How many times they play it in concert?
It's got, oh, it's kind of, they've got forensic fucking people in there.
It would be insane.
So it wouldn't just be a matter of a little bit of money.
It would be a matter of economy-changing money.
So it's going to be hard to get someone to sign off on it.
And for probably, I mean, I don't understand too much about how the legal system works,
but I would imagine that the lawyers that represent Led Zeppelin,
must be out of this fucking world.
Yeah, no, they're big time.
That's the record label.
They sell their soul to save.
Yeah, you would be betting against the most ruthless savages in the history.
Listen, man, they fucking, relax.
They rob people to death, the music industry.
Did you ever read that Courtney Love article that she wrote,
where she explained she broke down the music industry?
No.
She broke down what everybody gets paid.
it's really well written.
It's so well written that they
accused somebody else of writing it
and she got a ghost writer.
That's how well written it is
because it goes into detail
about how artists get fucked and how musicians
get fucked and where all the music goes
or where the money rather for the music goes
and how little of it actually makes it down to the artist
and this is back when they were selling records.
Now it's weird because right now
the touring is where I guess the artists make their money.
And Joe, you said that you didn't think
some court would find them. I think
if they got the right jury, like a younger
jury who didn't have as much
attachment to Led Zeppelin, I think
they might see it from that point of view.
I think it's well known now that
artists don't make that much money from their music anymore.
So I think like some people might...
I mean, they tried to... They said they stole this in
1970.
That was the problem right there.
It was 47
fucking years ago.
47 years of owing them millions of dollars.
millions of dollars.
Like you were talking, for that song, you might be talking like $500 million or something crazy.
It might be more than that.
That might be like conservative.
Like, you're talking about the, if not the biggest super band, one of the biggest super bands of all time.
All time.
That toured everywhere.
And you got to remember, in 1973 in this country, we did $2 billion in music sales.
I saw it on the 70s.
It was the biggest year tour.
Everybody was on the road.
everybody from earthling fire the temptations led zeppelin the stones pink floyd everybody was on the road in those days erosmith this was a fucking masterpiece of people ted nugent did you ever see searching for sugar man
no the one that won the oscar about the musician yeah elvis or something like that well no he no he um was huge in south africa and he never knew it he was a huge star and there was all these legends about what happened to him and how he died and
And his music is good, man.
It's good.
It just, for whatever reason, it didn't hit in the 1970s when he released it.
And so this guy became like a laborer, and he worked construction,
and he raised a family, and he stuck around.
But he still kept, like, practice in his music.
And then one day, someone found him, and they couldn't even believe it was him.
They thought that he was dead.
And someone found him and told him, hey, man, you've, you've,
been huge in South Africa forever, huge.
And he was like, what?
And he went over to South Africa, like, after he'd been poor for like 30 years or something
like that, you know?
Like literally living in a place where he's got like a wood stove and he's burning fire
in the wood stove, burning logs in there, stay warm.
They show him doing this.
He goes over to South Africa and sells out arenas.
They can't even believe it when they see him.
They can't believe it.
He starts singing songs.
They know the words.
They sing along with him.
He's coming back from the dead.
It's insane.
It's more than he's coming back from the.
dead it's like this guy was a huge superstar and he was impoverished like he was almost like
live in a fake life for 30 years they didn't even know how do they become a huge in south
africa they played this music on the radio radio so one guy found it could be could be one guy
found it sometimes that shit happens did he have an album out yeah yeah a couple and he made no
money on him no they didn't give him a fucking dime
They apparently made, he made one,
that he had a chance to make the second one,
and he really, you know, they gave it a big push,
but it just didn't catch.
And they don't know why, you know,
maybe it was what the album looked like,
you know, maybe it was,
people just didn't give it a chance.
But it was good.
He's a good musician.
And after that, second album, he quit.
But that music made its way to South Africa.
It made me cry.
It really did.
I just like, it was...
I forgot all about it.
Somebody told me to watch it,
I have forgotten it about it.
I'm watching it.
I was getting tears.
I was tearing up because I was watching it.
I was like, this is, this is, this is, this story is amazing.
Because this story is about this guy that just became this weird sort of humble guy who's
really philosophical and kind of zen about life.
And he gave all the money away.
All the money he made Torin after it became huge in South Africa.
He gave it away.
Went back to living just like how he was living before.
At least that's what they tell you.
That's the legend.
I hope not.
Well, you know, I don't know.
I mean, maybe he was happier.
that way. Maybe he just decided that at his age, he's in his 60s, at his age, all of a sudden
becoming this big star and going to South Africa and flying across the world and making
money and not knowing why you're doing it, and you know, and everybody says you're supposed
to do it. He didn't like it. I think he just wanted a quiet, more peaceful life. Maybe
still touring a little bit, but damn, I bought the album. I bought a whatever he has out there,
whatever I could buy on iTunes. I think it's one, it might be two albums, I think it's one.
Let's make sure he's getting the fucking money.
Yeah, I hope so.
They've been taking it for the last 30 years, these cock suckers.
Now iTunes comes along and gives you a 40, 60 split.
I wonder what they would give him in South Africa for all the times they sold his records.
Listen, man, I heard something that John Oates, Darrell, you know, Bowler, and Oates, in the end of 1990, they had sold 8 million records, and they both had $50 in their bank account.
Whoa.
Where'd you hear that?
On Eddie Trunk, on Sirius Radio, that he's going to release a book now.
The music business is as filthy as it gets.
I don't get it.
When we had Danny Brown, I tried to have him explain to me all this mixtape world and how I don't get it.
I don't get it.
I see an album.
I buy an album for $8.99.
It sells a million albums.
What's that, $8.9 million?
I think, right?
$899 million.
No.
$8.99.
$0.99.
But just think of $9.
Okay.
It sells a million, $9 million.
$9 million.
$9 million.
How much does the artist get?
They get like $2 million.
I wonder.
The record label.
I walked into the weed store today and they were playing Billy Jean.
The video.
That's the first time I saw him.
It was the last time you saw Billy Gene 15 fucking years ago.
I started looking at it.
I thought about the, that's when a record
label put up a half a
mill for a video.
Yeah.
A half a fucking milk.
You remember when Madonna had that
like a virgin?
No, no, like prayer.
Is that what it was?
Pepsi and she brought the
Black Jesus. Yeah, that's right.
And people went fucking bananas.
You know, all of them.
And then Coke or somebody
signed Michael Jackson's hair went on fire.
Yes. Yeah. That's what started
the pain pill addiction.
Because when he died,
they realized that whole thing was a wig.
Oh man, he burnt his hair off.
The whole time it had been a wig.
He had scars in the back and the whole thing.
Oh, wow.
They lit him on fire and burnt his hair off.
That's why he sued Coca-Cola, whoever it was, Pepsi, Coca-Cola.
Wow, that makes sense.
I mean, especially you consider all the chemicals he used to have in his hair, you know?
In 84, yeah.
The hair spray is super flammable.
That's what started the pain.
That's when he started telling people he was getting pain in his neck.
He couldn't sleep at night, so that's how he,
He was getting all his medication.
And then he'd go to these different parties and mingle,
spread the word, and they tell him, stop by tomorrow.
We got a fucking bag of goodies for your other house.
Wow.
And that's what led to him, you know, fucking shooting,
whatever the fuck he was shooting at the end.
Well, he was taking tranquilizers at the end.
They were using, like, sedatives on them to make him go to sleep.
So essentially, they were putting him under sedation every night.
They were using anesthesia.
they were just conking them out.
And I guess when you do that, you go out and shit, but you don't really sleep.
Like part of what you need is not just to be unconscious.
You need to go through those cycles, those cycles in your head.
And when you're under anesthesia, you're not going through those cycles.
I'm not a doctor.
No, no, no, I get you.
It's like getting surgery.
It's like when I got my nose surgery, one minute you're there, and the next minute you're gone.
You don't remember shit about what happened.
You wake up, you don't really know if you're tired.
or if you're slept or not, it's kind of a weird feeling.
It is weird.
You kind of think about the lights, you see the lights,
and you can't remember what's going on.
So I don't know how they get sedate.
I know if you get fucking done one time,
it's pretty fucking bad for you.
If you get done?
Like, if you get anesthesia,
people watch it.
People say it's not good.
And that's what people can't handle.
That's where it goes wrong.
When they come out here and they've been fucking killing in Iowa,
whoever the fuck they're from,
and they go on the comedy storm,
they're sandwiched in between Rogan and Nick DePaolo,
and it's post-time, bitch.
It's Wednesday at 10.45,
and you got the 11 o'clock spot,
and you're sandwiched, and you know,
you know, it's a fucking nightmare,
and it's your skin, and it's your pride,
if you hang out, or whatever.
For a guy like me, I didn't give a fuck.
I knew it was about percentages,
and I knew the more you got up there,
and you worked a little bit out,
the better you get.
Did you ever do stand-up in New York?
Did you ever like, no?
No.
You're doing New York this weekend.
This week.
This week.
We're doing Gotham.
That's a great club.
Great club.
But, you know, New York, I did New York in 94.
What I did, but I'd go to New York Comedy Club.
I go to stand-up New York.
The dude that was sick didn't like me, a comedy, what is?
Yeah, Lucian didn't like me.
And then there was these other little holes that I would go to.
I would drive a limo, and in between driving limos, I would stop and get on stage.
And I was terrible.
And I knew I was terrible.
But my options were I would go back and do Coke and cry,
and look at stand-up comedy by Judy Carter.
And look at the comedy newspaper, you know,
that used to be just for last.
I came out of San Francisco,
and I would read the articles.
Like, I still remember the best articles I read in there
were about Hicks, and, you know,
they had different comedy scenes all over the country.
It's very interesting to read.
And at the end, they had all the active comedy clubs.
And it was pages, you know, Arizona, Arkansas,
you know, whatever, what started would be,
with a Canada, California,
and you look at all Igbees
and all these clubs
and you had this dream that
someday I might get good enough
and I might be able to play at Igbees, you know?
And then, what's her name,
did a contest at the Comedy Works.
Wendy?
Wendy did a contest, and the winner got
$500 and a ticket to Los Angeles
to perform him from Mitchie Shore
at the world-famous comedy store.
And there was this dude, Matt Wood,
Matt Woods and Matt Berry.
Matt Berry sold shows.
Matt Woods was his buddy.
And he would work with comics on Tuesday night
and take him to his apartment.
And he wrote, and then you'd go through the open mic.
I was always doing the sports betting thing.
I couldn't get to his apartment.
So he didn't really dig me.
So then I had the contest.
I came in second.
But the first place guy had Rob Seinfeld.
And all these comics said he robbed Seinfeld.
So Joey gets the redeem.
I got the 500, but I never got the plane ticket.
So he stole some Seinfeld's jokes to win the contest
To win the contest
You know, and I was raised with the fucking old
Interview sheets
Remember when you apply for a job in the 70s
It said five lines, your name, Adjutant
Then there was a box and it said, don't answer the fucking questions
Unless there's a check in that fucking box
And my friend was at a sandwich place from time
And I go, you need help, man, hire somebody
He goes, look at all these people who applied already
I can't hire none of these dummies
because they all fucking wrote in here
and it says don't
so if they can't get that right
I don't want to do business with them
when people don't listen
I don't want to do business with them
like if I tell you something an hour
and two hours later you call me with something stupid
I just don't admit you from the phone
like I'm done like I'm fucking done
I can't deal with
so I wanted to make people
fucking listen again
it's a great gift to have
I love to talk
but I also love to fucking listen
the other day when you and Dominic were talking
for 40 minutes. Did I raise my fucking hand?
Did I raise my fucking hand?
No, I'm learning.
I didn't have, I wasn't in the place
to fucking raise my hand.
I'm amongst people who really know what the fuck they're talking
about. That's a problem in America today.
People want to chime in when they don't know what the
fuck they're talking about. You think I went through Jiu-Jitsu
because I like smelling assholes and feet?
And you think I like choking people?
I definitely don't think. It's not in my itinerary. But you know what, man?
I'm sick and tired of listening
to MMA fucking analysts
that never even tackled the fucking tackle
dummy. How are you going to know what these guys feeling in the ring if you never got
clocked in the face? Do me a favor. Shut the fuck up. That's with any sports writer. They sit
there and they insult football players. When was the last time you play football, fuck-all? Do you
know what they're doing out there now? No. You know, it happens with basketball. It happens with
baseball. There's always these people that you look at them and they've never done nothing in their
fucking life and they want to write about a sport. They don't know, oh, I was a fan of the game.
No, you were a fan, but you never played it.
Do you know, Anik started taking jujitsu?
You have to.
You have to.
Me just fucking around with you guys, I have to do something.
I have to describe a hip escape.
I have to know what it's like before I can sit there and judge a guy.
What the fuck am I?
But that goes on a lot in today.
Let me start up a blog because, you know, and talk bad about Michael's bids being, not fighting, whatever.
What the fuck did you do?
What the fuck did you do?
A lot of it is them just trying to get attention.
And the way to get attention is to be negative.
and I've been very vocal fighting against that.
I don't like insulting writers that shit on MMA in particular.
Don't like it at any level.
They're not respecting what that thing is.
That thing is an insanely difficult endeavor.
To be a fighter and to put your emotions on the line.
And then for someone to callously disregard that,
look, you can pump up the person who won
and you could criticize the technique of the person who lost,
but they go way further than that.
there's some of them that they make a person look like a buffoon.
I don't like none of that shit.
There's no reason for that.
We learned a lot with Ron de Rousey.
We learned a lot about society.
There's two things that taught me a lot the last year.
When Ron the Rousey got knocked out,
and when fucking Trump won and that fucking mutt went to his house for dinner
to try to interview for the job after he badmountain.
That's right.
No, no, not the fat fuck.
The guy from Utah.
When Rick Romney went on from Trump,
and then Trump won and he went to his house,
And you know why people didn't say nothing about it?
Because people do it all the time.
They're just snakes.
They're disgusting.
We become disgusting people.
You know, so that's why nobody ever said, wait a second.
That guy's a fucking mud.
He'll never get it.
He should be banned like United.
You talked about Trump.
I mean, you went out and blasted him.
Not just said.
Pre-rid speech.
Yeah, pre-rid speech.
And now you're going to his house to try to get a job.
You should be shot and hung.
He rehearsed that shit.
Yeah, but Americans didn't see it.
they just let it go.
That's why Lee's right.
You know what?
We all see this thing with United.
I don't fuck.
United's always my third choice.
United is my fourth choice.
Okay?
It's American.
I go to Delta.
I go to JetBlue.
I try Virgin, but they don't fly everywhere.
To go to Austin, you got to go to San Francisco first.
I ain't got that type of time.
So the only time I can use them is to go to fucking New York.
That's the only use I got out of Virgin.
They're great to New York, though.
But United, I look at every once in a while, like I'm like,
Should I take the chance every once in a while they come through with like a short flight
It's an hour and a half you can catch your night. You don't really want to go on Southwest
But you know what? Fuck you. I don't like you motherfuckers anyway
You can't wear your yoga pants
Fuck I gotta help you guys with the sound
I know you guys figure this out yeah you need a you need a whole board that takes this then
And it's short something's been going out with it
But don't tell them compression don't tell them because then they all become sound designs
I'll hook you up.
I'll hook you up with Jamie.
Yeah, we'll figure this out.
I love you.
I love you, brother.
I love you.
Thanks for everything, man.
Thank you.
Thanks for this weekend, too.
No, it was fucking tremendous.
We got to eat those wings.
That was great.
We did fuck around.
None of these fucking West Coast wings with rats.
Suck my dick.
