Starting point is 00:00:00 You ever use on it? I have it, but I've been looking at the products. Let's go ahead and lay it on me. Listen to me right now. I'm listening. There are a couple things I promise you work. I know this for a fact. One is, if you feel like you're getting sick,
Starting point is 00:00:13 the Viratec Immune, instant or Viratec Immune or Shroom Tech Immune, they have these different kinds of mushrooms, and they literally do this in labs, basically, from what I understand. But that stuff really does work to boost your immune system. I use the ShroomTech Sport, you know, because again, I know this for a fact,
Starting point is 00:00:40 it actually works. It actually basically gives you more energy. Somehow it brings ATP to the cells. I have no idea how it works. All I know is, I'm more flexible. I can keep going. It's fucking crazy. So shroom tech. That's that. In any other way, it's scientifically proven. This isn't like a point of view. They got the best creatine. They got the bed. Another supplement that is that I have talked to so many scientists, there's no doubt the creatine works. So the one thing I like about on it, and they've been a sponsor for 10 years or whatever,
Starting point is 00:01:11 as long as they've been around, is that the owners would always use their own products. And I know the owners very well. And I started using their own products because I saw how they were made and I saw how insane they were. And I remember the first time, the first time we talked about how do you want us
Starting point is 00:01:24 to talk about on it? They said, just be honest. Use the products and be honest. And that to me said, okay, these guys are behind their products. They have vitamin D spray. They have any nutrient you want. If you want the best supplements on planet earth, it's on it.com slash fighter, 10% off.
Starting point is 00:01:43 Get optimized. That's rock and roll. That's roll. I got stuff to talk about it guys I got stuff to talk about you got stuff to talk about I do shipel shipel lazy. Are we doing? Are we recording? Roll did you get a picture of Brian already? What I do is I my my girl looked at me and she said you need I wake up I like to wake up in the middle of the night and not sleep, and then I like to fret. I like to fret, because I suffer from all kinds of issues. You just be thinking. Yeah, I be thinking.
Starting point is 00:02:13 You be thinking. I've been thinking. And so what I do is, she'll see me upstairs on my iPad, jotting down, fucking comedy, or whatever it is, speaking of which, why is guys, tomorrow, on Saturday. And then she goes take a Xanax and I'm like, no. Whatever I'm going through, I wanna feel,
Starting point is 00:02:33 yeah, you wanna go through it. I agree with that. I'm that same way. I'm like, I don't wanna fix this. This is happening for a reason. And I'm moving the way I'm moving because I'm supposed to be doing this right now. It's like whenever like there's times where I'll go to bed like late, like I'll go to bed
Starting point is 00:02:49 like if I go to bed like one, I'll still wake up at like 630, right? And I go I'm supposed to. And I'm not trying to be this like motivational. Because it's honest. Because it's honest. I go oh I'm supposed to be up at 630, get up and do something. Yes. That's how I feel. And I think that's what you're feeling, correct? Yes, it is. And also what I try to do now is I try to, instead of saying, I'm fine, I go, I like to do this.
Starting point is 00:03:13 I like to feel everything I'm going to and go. I'm definitely not fine. In fact, I'm a fucking wreck. And I don't like admitting that sometimes. But I go, I'm done. Yeah. And then I just, I go't like admitting that sometimes. But I go, I'm done. No one does. And then I just, I go deep into it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:28 And not to other people, because that's exhausting. It's because of the discoveries, like, or what you'll find. Because I think a lot of times when you lean into it, you're gonna find something. You find something. Because you don't know at the start,
Starting point is 00:03:45 it's kind of chaotic in the brain. Yeah. But then... Look in the shadows. And then all of a sudden, you just find something you're like, there it is. Now you feel? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:54 So tell us some stuff, because I know you made some choices. I did make some choices. Yeah. This is crazy to announce. It's hard to choices. Yeah. This is crazy to announce. It's hard to announce. Yeah. But I've decided to leave the show.
Starting point is 00:04:10 The fighter in the queue. To cost me a lot of money. No bad blood. No. Nothing. We love you. This show is done. Well, you're going to be right down my back.
Starting point is 00:04:18 I'll be right over there. You'll be in the same room. You'll be in the same room. In the same room. But yes, I just want to just wanna say that, you know, I'm just, I don't know, I felt this for a while, you know, and since I've been doing Chappelle's world, and I'm like, and I feel bad when I come here,
Starting point is 00:04:37 and I'll be thinking about Chappelle's world. Yeah. Like my brain is on. But that's the chart on that. Yeah, and it did. You know, I feel like I was Would Bren and I were talking about how proud we were of you because first of all I'm indebted to you forever because you stepped up and you saved the show. Yeah, yeah, and when when everything was
Starting point is 00:04:58 fucked up and so You know, I think you are a man is 35 years old who wants to do his own thing. And you're not third wheel, you're not third wheel. You're not a third wheel guy. And you're certainly not a bit player. And you're not, but Brennan and I built this thing over 10 years. And you stepped in and you fucking filled big shoes
Starting point is 00:05:18 and did an amazing job. And then you kind of went, you know, I don't wanna do this anymore. I wanna do my own thing. And I feel bad when I'm a part of something or doing something that I don't have the, and it's no disrespect to the show or whatever, you know, when I don't have a passion for something,
Starting point is 00:05:38 and I'm just thinking about this other thing over here, and tear creds. It's, yeah, because if anything, I always want to deliver my best to whatever it is that I'm doing. Right now. And like even like my reps, they'll send me like auditions and I go, I go, I know you want me audition for this, but I can, but reading this and I've thoroughly read through it, I won't, I wouldn't do that.
Starting point is 00:06:04 I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't do that. And I'm not afraid to say no. It's really important. Because I'm like, sometimes they'll be like, what's the deal with that? I go, I won't deliver my best with doing something that I don't connect with. Right.
Starting point is 00:06:18 Or don't, like, now I'm not saying I don't like this show. I'm not gonna say that. No, I know. But like, there's this, I think as a creative person, or just, Yeah, not even just a creative person. Yes. And, you know, especially like,
Starting point is 00:06:31 you know, when I sit back and look at, you know, you guys, I'm like, man, they've built this chemistry together over a decade, and they've had this thing in this vibe. And no, I did, it's not like a third-wheel thing, it's just like, I admire it from
Starting point is 00:06:46 like where I'm sitting when I'm sitting right here and watching you guys flow and it's like, man, you know, it just hit me. I'm like, man, I want to do that. I'm like, they have this thing going on right here right now that's their, that they've created, that you guys have built it. And I'm not just crediting myself when I say this, but I didn't build this. I came in at a time of like, when two friends were in a time of need, and you guys have helped me out tremendously.
Starting point is 00:07:22 So it's like, yeah, I mean, they've built you know, they've got to say, you know, I appreciate all that. And I know you're going to crush it. As I told you the day I met you, I told you to come to LA. Yeah, yeah. I saw something in you, right? And I'm never wrong about those things ever. And I, I, when I immediately came out to me right when I got off the stage, yeah, you said, what are you doing here? I'm when I was immediately came up to right when I got off the stage. Yeah, you said what are you doing here? I'm because I you say why you say why you stay here? Where's my camera? Because I'm the best in the fucking world at spotting talent and someone who's special I'm the
Starting point is 00:08:00 Best I'm going lead it lead it. Go ahead to lead it to it. Go ahead and lead it to it. Go ahead and lead it to it. Go ahead and lead it to it. Go ahead and lead it to it.

Go ahead and lead it to it. a hotel and you came to do, because I met you guys when you guys were doing fighter than a kid on the road, but then you came back to headline, stand up live by yourself, and you're staying at the hotel I worked at,
Starting point is 00:08:39 and then you were like, hey, what's your good night, man? I'll put you up, I'll give you a guest box. And this is when you had Stevie Blue Eyes. Another one, another one who I, Stevie Blue Eyes, is another guy who I think could have been. He just has his own thing. It's just his own special.
Starting point is 00:08:58 Yeah. He's a very special guy. He's a very smart guy. And he's just got his own thing going on. But Stevie is another guy who I was astonished at how good he was so quickly. So quickly. Estonishing. He's so smart and such a good writer.
Starting point is 00:09:14 So good. And if he wanted to, he could be, he could have been Bill Burr or something. But that's not his thing and it's okay. And that's fine. That's the other thing. You can't want for people. He has his own magic and he's gonna find his own way. But I like to you right away because you don't have any,
Starting point is 00:09:31 I just was always impressed with how, and I hope you hold onto this, Chappelle. I hope you hold onto this. What is it? You don't have a big ego, man. You are very humble. And don't ask why and it doesn't matter. Don't, as you get more successful, lose that.
Starting point is 00:09:47 Don't get prideful. Don't even get protective over what you've worked on and just be exactly the way you are and you will never lose. Don't have to step on you, which you won't. What I think it is, Brian, and you know, because I journal so fucking much, but I like being a person.
Starting point is 00:10:04 You don't have, I don't know if that makes any sense. What I just said. It does. But I like to be a person. You know, like you've been in this industry for a minute. I think the most important thing that I want to say is that you like not feeling better than your audience. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Better than everybody else. Exactly. Yeah. Because I mean, I know where I come from. I know what I've went through and I'm like man That's this you know, that's some break. You know, that's hey people go through some shit, but but but what I'm I guess I'm trying to you know say is You know, like I said you've been in this industry for a minute You've seen people where they've made this thing their soul identity
Starting point is 00:10:44 Yeah, we're like and it's like, but you gotta live a life. Yeah. You know what I mean? And some people, Well, you know, because you become a fucking alien. Yeah. You know, they watch people that are just so out of touch. Dude, I've done movies with people.
Starting point is 00:10:57 They've been actors since they were in their teens and now they're 60. And they don't know how to live a life. And it's one, it's a, to go off the thing that you'll see some people of high celebrity caliber and they'll say things online and you'll see them say something and you go that you're so out of touch with humans in general. Yeah. To where it was like,
Starting point is 00:11:25 why would you say that? And not to just sit here and punch him in the face, but when Judd Avatar was like, Chris Rock, Will Smith, you could have killed Chris Rock with that slap. And I'm like, well, Judd Avatar, and I'm not trying to sit here like, like I said, I'm not trying to sit here.
Starting point is 00:11:42 No, I am. Oh, you all are. I'm like, you do it. Because that's a to see. No, I am. Oh, you are. I am. I'll let you do it. Because that's a classic exam. There are a couple of things going on there. One is that when you have been, he's talented. Judd Appetow is, I know a guy who knew him before he was anybody and said that guy's been,
Starting point is 00:11:58 that's where he's going to be running this town. Judd Appetow is too, he's just undeniable. I think that guy can make, he's made some of the best fucking movies I've ever seen. Oh, dude. You know, I know that there are great movies out there, but I'm just talking about for what, what, what, for what, yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:15 Like those movies are amazing. They're hilarious, they're moving, they're real stories. Real stories. Everything that he does. And even the people he found that he brought together, he might be better than me at spotting talent. Where's my camera? Where's my camera?
Starting point is 00:12:32 Where's my camera? You know, so I'm a huge admirer of the guy. I really am, but he also was, he embraced, part of his talent was embracing the kind of guy he is which is a very sensitive Yeah, a very sensitive Non-athletic Yeah, non-alpha Non-broy, which is fine. Of course it is. There are a lot of guys like that.
Starting point is 00:13:05 But, but, make no mistake, make no mistake, it's awesome that he captured that world of guys, the anti-hero, the anti-hero, the anti, the anti-romantic comedy,
Starting point is 00:13:18 the sort of guy who never gets laid because he's got the body of, you know, the consistency, like sort of warm cheese, but there's a big heart there and he's really open and he's very vulnerable and stuff like that. 100%.
Starting point is 00:13:35 And we love those characters. Everybody, everybody really, like he created characters that everyone can root for. Yes, but when you've never done a sport, I'm sorry, I don't care. When you've never been punched in the face, when you've never actually, when you're not friends with other guys that are rough,
Starting point is 00:13:55 when you don't tussle with a guy like Matt and Trion or friend in or just you haven't done Jiu Jitsu or you, like when you, you know, even cheerleading people make fun of you, but that's a lot of fucking physicality. A lot. Shumping in the air, flipping, grabbing people, falling injuries, if you're not like that and you see a slap,
Starting point is 00:14:16 you're like, oh my God. I could have killed him. Yeah. And that's a classic example of being way too rich, way too hollow, way too out of touch. And it's impossible to avoid, I don't blame them for it. Let's take a little break. First of all, you can see me this weekend at Wise Guys in Las Vegas. And then next weekend, I'm at the stress
Starting point is 00:14:34 factory in New Jersey. And I got comedy loft after that. You can't stop. Won't stop in Washington DC. Get your tickets at BrianCound.com or T back FATKZ. FATKZ.com.

I'll be there, and then I'll be doing a one-nighter in the hometown, Stand Up Live, May 12th, and
Starting point is 00:14:58 then in the summertime, I'll be in Rhode Island at the comedy connection, June 24th and 25th. I was at my house. My brother-in-law was sweating and I hear music and I hear somebody talking to him. I'm like, he must be in a class. Yeah. And the guy is doing, he's boxing. But he's boxing. He rides a peloton. He has a peloton bike. Yeah. And he's obsessed with it as a lot of people are. Why wouldn't you be? Yeah, they've got, but Peloton has new classes and new music and you can, they always change it up
Starting point is 00:15:30 and you have different instructors that you can get involved with but now they have boxing. They're stepping in the ring. They've got, you don't need gloves but it's a fast, furious, fun workout. They've got Peloton structures in the corner. There's nothing like boxing. It's a guy of boxes.
Starting point is 00:15:44 There's nothing to get you a better shape. Forget it. And it doesn't matter if you ever box before, you will sweat your ass off. He was dripping. You got, they teach you footwork, form, fun combos. It's unbelievable. They have this new artist series

Starting point is 00:16:40 Yeah. And a lot of people are like, Brian, why do you look like somebody stretched human skin over a cheetah? Well, I'm not in ketosis, but I do try to be as keto as I can a lot of times. If I've eaten too many carbs, but now if you,
Starting point is 00:16:56 probably the fat, one of the fastest ways to lose weight is to go keto. The keto diet. And I know Bren has always trying to work on that. So you can get into ketosis. They've got a comedy called Real ketones. And it's basically a wellness technology. So what you can do is the idea behind keto is to produce ketones, which happen naturally
Starting point is 00:17:18 in the liver. And that gives you more energy. It burns fat. It increases focus. It makes you feel great. So you don't, I guess it controls your insulin so that your body, you never get, you don't get that brain fog or anything,
Starting point is 00:17:28 and you're running more on fatty acids, not on glucose, which is sugar. It's your energy is there. Yeah, but it's really hard to do it with just diet. But real ketones, D, B, dash, BHB, it's identical to what your body naturally makes. So within one hour, you're in ketosis, okay? And that's verifiable with any ketone monitor.
Starting point is 00:17:49 So it's amazing. It's a new technology, a health technology, basically. So whatever your goals are, whether you want energy, you want weight loss on any diet, hydration, ketosis, whether you're keto or not, real ketones at BHB is, if it's part of your daily routine, I know from Brennan, it is unbelievable. So, and where do you get it? Well, you go to real ketones, I'm gonna spell ketones, real K-E-T-O-N-E-S.

Yeah. Not too many people tour through Springfield, Missouri. Blue room, comedy club. Yeah. And to this day, and I'll probably hold on to Springfield, Missouri forever, because they taught me something
Starting point is 00:18:56 that you had mentioned before, and I really felt it when I was there. It's the level of appreciation. These are folk that they work on like farms, construction, they do these jobs that are like, what they're hands. They touch the world. They're hands.
Starting point is 00:19:13 And they have to adjust at the price of paying. Yeah. That's the right way to do it. Exactly. And I think a lot of times, you know, within our world, we think our world is the world. But to those people, I'm like, their world is just labor. This thing that they do every day,
Starting point is 00:19:31 they have to get up every morning and make sure they milk the cows or whatever they gotta do. Whatever it is, there's something about it. And to have those people in the audience listening to you and laughing at the things that you do and just enjoy it. There was something I really, like I'm proud of myself for doing,
Starting point is 00:19:53 is I walked around their city. I learned anything and everything I could within those three days of being out there in that city. And I talked about it on stage from such a genuine outsider perspective. And they, you rub off it. Because they, they're like, oh, this dude really cared to know about it.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Yeah. And I feel like that's what continues that type of human connection. I did that in Florida. I was like, and I get in the Uber and the guys got a mask and, sorry. I'm sorry. I was in the Bethesda, the sonic theater which is the amazing gig actually yeah They'll sell out every fucking show. Oh wow. They sell out every show best food in the world. Uh-huh the
Starting point is 00:20:32 Sonic Theater. Okay. They know how to run that place. So if you do a Wednesday you're selling out Thursday You're selling out Friday selling out Saturday. Oh, it's just that spot. That's it's that's Bob. Okay. It's Fucking awesome. And it's the best food. Mm-hmm. It's the best food in Southern Florida in some ways. Yeah. And I'm not joking. The signing theater in Port Charlotte in the middle of nowhere. Yeah, I said it. And right outside that fucking theater, right outside there's a moat.
Starting point is 00:20:57 There's a moat. A moat. You go out there. It looks like, it's basically, it like a, it literally looks like a pond. It's like, okay, so you know on the side of the road, where you got the highway, then you got a fucking hill, and then you got like an area. It looks like it just rained,
Starting point is 00:21:14 and that area had some water in it, okay? It looks like it's some water. So Kevin Mack, who features for me, comes down, and he goes, six, five, Kevin Mack. Yeah, and he looks down, and he goes, ah, I go, Alligators everywhere, joking around. And he goes, six, five, Kevin Mac. Yeah, and he looks down and he goes, ah, I go alligators everywhere, joking around. And he goes, nah, no alligators there, because it's just a, it's kind of a,
Starting point is 00:21:29 it's own little contained area. It's as big as this fucking place. Not this room, but this studio. Oh, the studio. So the guy, the owner, Eric, of the Visanic Theater goes, yeah, problem is, you're wrong, because a year ago, a homeless
Starting point is 00:21:47 guy or a drug guy got into that pond to wash himself and a ten-foot alligator took off his arm and one of his balls. And yeah, tried to kill him. Roll took his arm off so the guy was able to get away so he didn't die and they had to airlift him out of this parking lot. Now that's, now that's, hold on, watch this, that's right outside the fucking door. That's like, well I'm gonna watch this, ready? This is how far away the alligator is, ready?
Starting point is 00:22:17 Yeah, I'm walking out the door, I'm taking one step, two steps, three steps, four steps, five steps, six steps, seven steps, eight steps, nine steps, and I'm in the water. Yeah, yeah. That's how far away the alligator's. Fucking dinosaurs. Fucking dinosaur right there. I don't know why, what we were talking about. Listen, when you start going off, on crocodiles or alligators, I say, you want to talk about
Starting point is 00:22:40 small town. Oh yeah. Yeah, so I'm in Florida. I'm all over the place. Thank you, Chik, because I was lost in the alley. You got to start. I think Dennis do balls, got to take it off. That's a better story.
Starting point is 00:22:50 But I said to him, the same thing with local, like coming up with a local thing to say. I know. I got a noob or the guy at a mask. I go, sorry, we're in Florida. I don't know if you guys know. There was a pandemic and they fucking just went crazy, right? Crazy, right? Yeah, because they's because they they know
Starting point is 00:23:07 They know their area they know what they're in and Do you know how much they spring film Missouri prize themselves on their bass pro shop because their bass pro shop is three levels and it has an aquarium and they a They ride or die for that damn but it's's just, to us, it's such a simplistic thing, but to them, this is like, no, it's not simplistic. Not simplistic as much as, you know what I'm trying to say? The New York, the elite of New York,
Starting point is 00:23:38 and the Hollywood mindset, all dumb as shit, by the way, dumb as shit, but the Hollywood mindset, I've been in this business for 25, 27, 30 years, there's nobody will surprise you in their lack of intellectual vigor, then actors and other people in Hollywood, trust me. It's as far as being like, I think they're smarter than America. It's so fucking great. It's hilarious. But they're so condescending. But like, one of the things about that,
Starting point is 00:24:12 if you were to go to Springfield, talk about gender, neutral bathrooms. Tell me how it goes. Talk about how important gender politics is to people in Springfield or anywhere in this country. I've been following this really closely because, you know, the New York Times, this is the most famous fucking magazine of all time. Three years ago, two years ago, ran 81 articles on gender
Starting point is 00:24:37 neutral bathrooms and how important gender neutral bathrooms are for the .01% of people who have gender dysphoria. That's what they were doing. And so it's really interesting because what you're seeing with Disney and you're seeing with Netflix and you're seeing with all these companies is that they're a gender, they're what they're putting emphasis on,
Starting point is 00:25:05 which is all this sort of like we have to worry about marginalized people, they're victims, black people are victims, queer people are victims, or whatever, trans or victim. Like when you do that, most of America goes, hey dude, I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. All I know is I got, I got my kids to school and I have a job. And I
Starting point is 00:25:25 just want to, what are taxes and how much money do I have in the bank? I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. And oh, you're movies and your stories that you're shoe-horning in all this, all this politics. And that doesn't mean people aren't insincere to people that are, you know, victims of the... But the people doing this, that makes sense. Yes, but the people doing it are not people who live in the real world. They don't know actually how those people that they are speaking up for,
Starting point is 00:25:54 they're not actually doing that. They're not actually trying to do anything. They're trying to get power, and they've never lived in the real world. I'm gonna make a distinction that Douglas Murray did. He was just on Rogan. Okay. Most of us in life are trying to construct a life.
Starting point is 00:26:11 We're trying to build a life. It's fucking hard. You're trying to make money. It's so hard. You're trying to make a name for yourself, build your brand, have a career, and it's full time. My first night in Missouri, that Thursday night,
Starting point is 00:26:22 dead, bro. Dead. I know. And it would, but I had the time of my life still all the way through that 50 minutes of being on stage, talking to those people, because I was like, hey, this room seats 200 people, and there's 20 people in this room right now.
Starting point is 00:26:40 And by the way, it's a real deal. You gotta keep it going. You gotta keep it going. And then you got kids, and then you got a relation. So all of us out there are, we're all white knuckling it. Like all of us, like I know really wealthy people and every one of them will tell you this. It's so fun to go, well, everybody has to work
Starting point is 00:26:56 because don't, how much money do you have in the bank? $10 million? You'll go through that in two years, dude. I mean, it depends on your lifestyle. Everybody has to work and everybody has to hustle. There are very few people that don't have to hustle, and even they will go crazy if they don't. Like, everybody has to hustle.
Starting point is 00:27:13 Do you think it's for comedians? Because comedy isn't so forgiving at times? Yeah. Because, hey, there's times we'll go up. Annihally, right? Annihally to stress. There's another, then that next night happens, It gives hey, there's times we'll go up annihilate right annihilate assess There's another then that next night happens. There's one of those shows where it's just hey, bro It never gets fucking easy
Starting point is 00:27:33 And let me tell you something else. It's so funny I'm a pretty sorry. I'm a prop some people would say I'm a pretty good. I'm you in the soul Yeah, yeah, but then you got to write a whole new act. I'm going to shoot this fucking special. Yeah. And then I got it. I'm throwing it all away. Got to start from scratch.
Starting point is 00:27:51 Gosh. Got to start. It makes it. It makes you question. When that one night is an off night, it makes you question like, what? Yeah. Am I funny? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:04 Yeah. It makes you really. And you should, because, but that's the beauty of comedy. It's not so forgiving, so it makes you go, it makes you work in a way to where it's like, oh, fuck, I'm not as funny as I thought it was. Oh, it's funny, what I did this joke in LA, but doing it in Springfield, Missouri, oh.
Starting point is 00:28:27 Do I? By the way, I'm sorry about my toe holds. Do I look, my friends would make fun of me, by the way, I sit now, because I'm super set. But also, they're just jostles, because they can't sit like that, because I'm jealous I can't sit like that. You can't sit like that?
Starting point is 00:28:44 That is my thighs are crossing. You can't sit like that, because I'm jealous I can't sit like that. You can't sit like that. Daddy's like my thighs are crossing, you can't cross your thighs. Ryan, look at my leg. Bro, you got some tight hair. I wasn't really, why did you do this? No, bro. Come on. I can get one leg up.
Starting point is 00:28:57 Back straight, you can't do this. No, dude, not on this, try it. Watch, try it, bro. There you go bring that fucking leg up is it tight in your little hippie wippies? that's fine look at that
Starting point is 00:29:13 you should use shoes belong on somebody in a kung fu movie in the night she's belong on the beach when you say yes. With leaving and moving on, I am very appreciative of this whole experience. Being part of a podcast that many people love and I mean, we want were doing people in space let me tell you like when I I was in Austin Texas this dude ran up to me. He's like oh my gosh Bill A.C. I watch finder the kid.
Starting point is 00:29:53 I'm a UPS driver. That's what I do when I'm driving you know for UPS and just to hear that it's such a cool thing. It's a cool thing that you you know, this kid from Mesa, Arizona, Brian, the person's day, just because, you know, I come in here, come here and shoot the shit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:14 Did they tell you, did they tell you that you're taller in person? Cause they say that to me. No, they don't say that. They, uh, no, what do people say to me? Chin, please get more light on my fucking head. They say I'm not Can get more light on my fucking
Starting point is 00:30:34 For First of all, here's the thing that camera is not the way this looks on this screen is not how it looks on the on YouTube on YouTube on YouTube. On YouTube. Oh, okay. I look good on YouTube, right? You guys read on YouTube. This guy's smart. Yeah, on YouTube, you're killing. I love when Kat gets hot.
Starting point is 00:30:48 But just don't go off that damn screen right there. All right, man. I don't know why you keep doing that. Because I have to, because I see it sometimes in my whole day, all the energy, that's my body, all the energy in the human body.
Starting point is 00:30:59 He's my body. I go, I'm dying. Is it, what you do is you'll talk to me, and then you'll go. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You look at that goddamn screw.
Starting point is 00:31:09 I did a weird thing. I was feeding my baby my three month old. And the kid was like, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm. Cause he, he was breastfed. He's good. He's breastfed, but sometimes you give him a bottle and the doctor wants to give him a bottle twice a day
Starting point is 00:31:21 just cause it puts more weight on him. But he's fat as fuck. He just keeps growing. And like, I was feeling the baby tugged his life force. I'm holding this fucking growing vibrating creature that I'm responsible for until I die, until I die. And he's sucking the bottle like, mm, mm. And it was like literally like, it was like,
Starting point is 00:31:43 I, just by that, I was like holy fuck. This is a life force that I have to keep feeding. Like, and it was, it was, I got exhausted. I was like, I gotta do this shit until he's at least 18. And let's be honest, 18 year, I've completed it anyway, which is really until he's 30. So I'll be fine.
Starting point is 00:32:03 If we could just keep this podcast going for another 30 years I'd appreciate it Yeah, keep it going for Brian and his baby for Brian for Brian and Cody. I won't have in Visalon, but I will have dentures Although, yeah, it's seven more trace dude. I had dinner and I got who knows yeah less less. Yes. Yes, seven more. I had dinner I have six more I have six I had dinner. I had six more, I had six more. I had dinner with a nano, a nano scientist. Do you know what that is?
Starting point is 00:32:30 Like you think he does, he works on nano bots, which are like computers, the robots and computers, the size of a red blood cell. Some of you can't even see, like atoms. They push atoms around. And so what, these things can blow people up? Oh, no, dude. It's the it's the future of medicine. It's the future of medicine. They have so they have they can cure diseases now like diseases like sickle cell anemia, all kinds of shit that was incurable. Right now they have the
Starting point is 00:33:00 capability not only to cure diseases, but using gene editing, they can take you in vitro as a baby for your reason, born. And if you have certain diseases that would ruin your whole life, they can detect that already. Not only that, not only that, they can also, and they're doing it in China, even though it's a little bit unethical. In China, apparently, they are also like, if you're born, if you're gonna be short, or you're going to be, you don't have a lot of fast,
Starting point is 00:33:30 which muscle or whatever it is, they're getting to a point where they can turn you into a superhuman. You ready for this motherfucker? What do you mean? If you have a white, if two white people are have a baby. Like me, ball.
Starting point is 00:33:46 As you can get birth to a black child, if you would want. No. You can get birth to a six foot four person. No, you couldn't. If you're really short, that's what gene editing is. That's what gene editing is. No, they're not. Yeah, they are.
Starting point is 00:33:58 And so right now. Two white people can have a black baby. That, like a two great Danes can get birth to a Chihuahua, like a baby that, like you can fuck with jeans in V-Tro now now It's not quite where it's it's still very dangerous because you can fuck things up, but That is being done somewhere in the world and not only that You can cure diseases that you could never cure before like like in 10 years the cancers were worried about
Starting point is 00:34:26 They're already curing the problem is that sometimes one dose which will cure you one dose cost two million dollars How about that two million dollars? So that's why they can't do it with that price is gonna come down. So in 10 years You guys are young you guys in your 20s So in 10 years, you guys are young. You guys in the 20s, there is a very good chance that you will not have to worry about cancer. The way you don't have to worry about AIDS, like my generation, AIDS is a death sentence.
Starting point is 00:34:53 Now you get AIDS, you're gonna die of something else. Oh, bro, bro. You died, I saw it with my own eyes. Slowly and you died painfully and with no dignity. You starved to death. You got the worst, your body had no immunity so you would get crazy diseases. I saw it wait back to this Two white parents got black baby CRISPR cast nine is that what they call it? Yeah, look just put in put that in you know
Starting point is 00:35:21 It's fucking Jesus in vennor by a woman and a man, like, you know, but it's like, it's changing everything. It's hard to explain. I'm a doctor, so I don't wanna talk about it. I'm a scientist and I don't, you know. What about, I wanna ask you questions, but I imagine it's gonna be so stupid. Look, it enables geneticists and medical researchers
Starting point is 00:35:43 to edit parts of the genome to by removing adding or altering sections of the DNA sequence it's fucking crazy but I don't understand where are they getting this egg for the black baby are they getting it from someone else there is there he yes you can put jeans into, you can clip out a gene sequence from DNA and fucking put in another gene sequence. When I hear about this shit, I go, oh, we must be just really sophisticated computers.
Starting point is 00:36:22 Like, somebody made us, like, you know, computers are binomial, they work on two numbers, zeroes and ones or whatever the fuck it is. There's a theory that human beings are essentially just a very sophisticated machine, which we are a computer that might work on five numbers. So you get into the shit and it's like, huh?
Starting point is 00:36:42 Like so, as we learn how to bio hack our body. Yeah, whatever you can imagine is going to happen Whatever your imagination is to the point where we're gonna. This is so fucking nuts because of gene editing It is absolutely feasible in 50 years 20 years, I don't know. Right now, I don't know, where they can, they can splice your genetic material with alliance. But initially, and I can finally be the manther I've always wanted to be. You want to be a manther?
Starting point is 00:37:22 Yeah. That's what you want. I don't know. Why was you want that? I'm just telling you that. You want to be a man? Yeah. That's what you want? I don't know. Why would you want that? I'm just telling you that I like being a human. I'm just telling you that whatever is going on, there are people who are probably working on super soldiers on working on going so far beyond our biology.
Starting point is 00:37:37 But that's the, here's where that becomes scary. People that love power. Of course. Technology is Frankenstein. What would you remember? You know Frankenstein the book Mary Shelley. No of it. The idea was that technology is going to alienate us from ourselves that we we will create a monster we can't control although it is beautiful How smart how smart we have gotten as humans?
Starting point is 00:38:01 We have unlimited potential. Yeah, unlimited, which is amazing. Yeah, he has a question as well. But sometimes, he can be scared. What do you do with that? Well, what do you do with that? If I tell you, so if I, okay, so I say that you can live 300 years. That's a problem.
Starting point is 00:38:14 It's a problem. Everybody wants it, but yeah, I don't know. What would you really want it? Well, here's what I really want to live 300 years. I would dedicate, I would dedicate, I would dedicate my life to mastering something like, say, music, boxing, music, combat, those are the three things. Writing, and then I would dedicate myself to certain skill sets. Here's the other problem though.
Starting point is 00:38:46 Here's the other problem. What if you can download a skill set? What if I can download in your brain, Alam, the Matrix, how to operate a helicopter, how to have a black belt in Jiu-Jitsu, how to play the guitar really well? What if there's packages you can buy? What do we listen to?
Starting point is 00:39:02 Now we have a big problem, because it's fucked by fine meaning. What do we listen? Now we have a big problem, because you can't fuck to my fine meaning. When are we gonna start to fly? Well, we already can fly. Well, yeah, in a plane. Yeah, but you don't wanna fly. If man is fucking overrated. How do you know?
Starting point is 00:39:17 You've never called before. Because what happened to say it's overrated when you've never done it. If you know anything about- Besides a plane. If you know anything about oranthology, everybody, anybody. What's oranthology, anybody? Anybody.
Starting point is 00:39:29 Anybody? Hey, hey, you guys need to start reading. I need everybody in this fucking room to start reading. The level of education here is not acceptable. I know, but I need you guys. Right, you're such a teacher right now. I need you guys to- I just need, I need you guys right you're such a teacher right now. I need you guys. I just need I need some reading
Starting point is 00:39:48 I graduated high school. That's it. I know guys, but no no or anthology It's so important I really like I want will you type it in a little bit interested in the Onthology Yeah, if you do or anthology or anthology? Yeah, if you do. Or ontology. Or ontology. Or ontology, right? Okay. Branch of sociology, the concerns,
Starting point is 00:40:10 the methodological study and consequent knowledge of birds and all that relates to them. So in other words, it's all things bird- You love birds, don't you? I don't know. Not really actually. I really don't, but I had to throw away all my standup on birds. Like I wrote a whole fucking, I wrote an hour, I know.
Starting point is 00:40:29 My girl was saying she was like, I was killing rooms. I was crushing. With bird material. Dude, 40 minutes of fucking bird material. I was the premier bird humorist in the country, in the world, crushing with birds. And my girl was like, and I go on throwing it all out and she goes, you had a your mind. Do you see what you're doing in the country, in the world, crushing with birds and my girl was like, and I go on throwing it all out and she goes,
Starting point is 00:40:46 like you had a your mind, do you see what you're doing in the room, so I go, I don't care, it doesn't feel right. That's so, that's so, that's so, I feel right. No, so my special has nothing, it has very little burden, it's very little, oranthology. What do you think, the big deal, anyways? That's the reason, as of, the reason you don't wanna fly
Starting point is 00:41:00 is if you're knowing about oranthology, you'd be flying and you'd have fucking eagles, crows, swallows, hitting you in the fucking head because you're in their airspace and they're super territorial. You see how huge I am? Bro, I know, my biggest ass was flying in the air. You think I'm worried about a punk ass eagle?
Starting point is 00:41:15 They'd be buzzing your fucking head and hitting you right in the fucking eye. Oh, and I can't fly in. Well, you can. You can throw a solid. Now you're punching. Now you're punching birds for no reason. I know that something on patriotic
Starting point is 00:41:29 and you're punching goddamn eagle. So many catches, chappelle AC in the air, socking a fucking swallow. But I'm gonna all the fly. I'm gonna all the fly. You knocked a bird out of the sky, and you're a shithead just because he was being, because that bird was protecting its nest,
Starting point is 00:41:42 and you right hook it right in the fucking beast. If it's coming at me, but otherwise it's gonna be like, if we're cool, if we're cool, I'm like, hey neighbor, hey neighbor, that's what I'm, if we're cool. Now, if that, if that, if that eagle comes at me, you on some territorial ship, like it's a game.
Starting point is 00:41:58 Now, you got two clothes. Okay, now, let's hook. You got two clothes to it's fucking him. You got two clothes to it's fucking nest you got too close to it's fucking nest and I want them chickens hold on whatever the what did he call a baby eagle you got you you got you got distracted you got distracted Yeah, and when you got distracted you got into some power lines and now you're fucking dead And if you're gonna flap from here to your house You're gonna be so sweaty and gross
Starting point is 00:42:23 Birds be chilling on power lines all the time. Well, I wouldn't recommend it, because you might hit the wrong power line. How do you all feel about flying? People can fly. Who? Exactly. Hang gliding for one, that's tanky live form of flying.
Starting point is 00:42:37 Wing suits, too. Yep. And? Wing suit. And what about what the army has now? Have you seen that? Oh the fucking jetpack thing? Yeah. No.
Starting point is 00:42:49 It's like a really low budget version of Iron Man kind of in a way. Really? Yeah. All the cool shit we do in the movies, why can't we make that shit real? They are. For real? Let me see. They're doing a shit with the halo suits. Look at this. Look at this. Oh whoa. These dudes this, look at this. This. Oh, whoa.
Starting point is 00:43:05 These dudes are flying over the ocean. I mean, they're not thinking about using that in war. Yeah, they are. What do you, but what is, you know how, dude, look at this though. You think, you think his jet pack is gonna fucking stand up next to a missile? I don't know, but that motherfucker,
Starting point is 00:43:21 that's how you would rescue people and stuff. Look at this shit. Are you kidding me right now? That is kind of crazy. See if you had this technology, would you fly over the ocean like the entire ocean with it? No, you run out of gas pump. Yeah, and then that should I want to fly with a ocean. That should get mighty heavy and you die I'll fly with a four or five all day. Yeah, but then there are other people flying over the 405. Then you get, now you get caught up with somebody. Now you got road rage or air rage.
Starting point is 00:43:50 Now you got air rage. And then you burn somebody because your jets got too close to them. The whole thing's a disadvantage. Wait, have you heard of this thing? And I don't know if I'm just talking shit. I don't know if I'm just talking shit. And you can hear music going. I don't know if you heard this thing,
Starting point is 00:44:01 where there's a train from that they want to create from LA to Vegas. Yeah. They get there in two hours. I love that. Have you heard this thing where there's a train from that they want to create from LA to Vegas Yeah, they get there in two hours. I love that. Have you heard of that? No super much ripping. No, but I make sense I'd love that trip. I don't know sir that but the problem is now you got a bunch of now you got even more riff raffer Why I don't know man. It just feels like that being How much riff raffer do you see on the plane At first class though, you're right. I don't know. Yeah. I take that in a second though. Are they really trying to do it, Chin?
Starting point is 00:44:32 Is that what it says? It could happen. Oh, it could happen. Yeah. I don't know, man. Oh, it's an autosentric city. That's true. You need your car, right? It's broken. Maybe that's the thing. Oh, they're all building it. It's broken. Down or up? Uh, down.
Starting point is 00:44:44 I mean, there's a train from London to Paris. More like that picture. No, no, no. It takes you, what, two hours. Look at that. Bro, some of these trains in Japan are fast as a speeding bullet. Can you look up the fastest train in the world? Yeah, and they don't even run on,
Starting point is 00:44:59 I think they run on magnetic, a magnetic plane. You look at this shit. Whoa. Japan's L series maglev is the fast train in the world with a speed of 374 miles an hour. A good distance from New York City to Montreal and less than an hour, that would take you fucking eight hours, China has half of the eight fastest trains
Starting point is 00:45:21 and the world's largest high speed rail network. Think about that, dude. This is real deal. Yeah, bro. So they already have it. Yeah, right now I wonder what it feels like to be on that thing probably like airplane. You know nothing you don't really feel the speed yeah because you're moving with it Dude How does that work though? Can you see if it's actually on tracks? Yeah? How does that work though? Can you see if it's actually on tracks? Yeah. Hey, cars that go that fast.
Starting point is 00:45:46 Yeah. What? They have cars that go that fast. 300 is. Dude, on the ground, it goes through. 300? Bugatti goes 300. Bugatti, Vera, on, yeah. Is that true?
Starting point is 00:45:55 372, I think, was the top speed. Yeah. Let's look that up, dude. Well, you saw that on a cartoon. Now, my grandfather is huge into cars since I've been, since I was 10 years old He's paid for this rodent track magazine subscription that like he gets one ship to his house and he gets mine Chipped to my house really why do they call you me?
Starting point is 00:46:14 Ball Says the old guy I don't like how he's so intrigued They call me meatball because I grew up in a predominantly a Italian area, Italian family. My mom makes the best meatballs on the planet. So does my great grandmother. 98 years old. Still makes the best meatballs.
Starting point is 00:46:35 Love it. And I was just kind of built like a little meatball when I was younger. And your nickname's been Meatball forever? Oh yeah, forever. Oh, okay. And my brother's hockey coach, like, because I was like a little, my dad's Guido, like I was like a little your nickname's been Meatball for a while? Oh, yeah, forever. And my brother's hockey coach, because I was like a little, my dad's Guido,
Starting point is 00:46:47 like I was like a little more Guido back then. So he's like, oh, you're like a little Meatball, you're built like one, you're just act like one. So it's just been stuck ever since. Adorable. Oh, fine. I knew that. I'm only calling you Christian.
Starting point is 00:46:58 That's fine. Hey. Why? I don't like Meatballs. Ah! Ah! Brian's gonna be the difficult one. Nice and growing man.
Starting point is 00:47:08 He's a grown man. That nickname has a shelf life and give it to yourself. Say, yeah, it's on 25 and then fuck off. I'm not meatballing. I don't mind it. It's either meatball or the Alexa call me Hawk tendon or meatball. I'll say it. It's came up with breaks. The Alexa call me Hawk tendon or Call me call me ready guana while you're at it be more random
Starting point is 00:47:37 Hawk he's called me hawk hawk tendon. Who calls you that? Theo. Vivon Skunk gonad was one. Skunk go mad at this time ever since theo called me Hawk tendon, my roommates, my brother, my brothers manager, they all call me Hawk tendon, just be funny. Yeah. I almost called you Robert Bino the first time I met you. Yeah. You also want to what? Don't worry about it.
Starting point is 00:47:55 Piven just posted. I know I tied you in a... Oh, is that what I was doing? Yeah. The Firencing, what's this circle? I literally, I've cat made a comment about it the other day. I, because I was telling her, I just saw the episode of you with the other day.
Starting point is 00:48:08 So I could just swoon, you just, we're talking about it like so, so just so you know in that podcast, I, I mean, in that episode, in that episode right here, I had to cry, I had to cry all day and they cut it all out. I had to be in tears hysterical. From the fire. All day long. All day long because that was the funny of it
Starting point is 00:48:28 where I got fired. But they, I mean, it was really like, they needed real tears the whole thing. And it was hilarious because they cut it all out. I was like, dude, I spent all this time. All day crying. That was the, that was the point of the scene. It was really funny.
Starting point is 00:48:42 And nothing. I know that entire. Yeah, watch how young I am, look at this. Rob, great work. See if you can read this. He's so good. You're fired. And in case your ears are f fucked, get the fuck out!
Starting point is 00:49:07 And the next person in obviously juggling, tap dancing, or baton twirling, or doing any other circus-like tricks will join him. Alright? One strike policy applies. Now get back to work! Ah, damn that felt good. He was such a good actor. Great work, bro. Back to work! Damn, that felt good. He was such a good actor. Great work, bro.
Starting point is 00:49:29 Did you actually see the scene with you crying? There's a, if you see that episode, there's literally a tiny section where I'm like, I got fired, you know, and he's like, I want that, you know, but, no. God, okay. I was actually wondering this the other day. Was that around the same time you got your eyelids done
Starting point is 00:49:50 because I remember like he had this thing. Oh, true. When was it? Let's see how old I was. I was my kid. You didn't know when he got his eyelids? The reason I asked was because there was a scene like where he has.
Starting point is 00:50:00 I got my lids done. Oh yeah, and that's why I got this. Oh, that's how I got this. Because I have my tear ducts operate in this finish. I can't you like I can't cry otherwise my tears will be permanently I got my I got my eyelids done two years ago. That doesn't I'm gonna say that. Find out when that when that episode of um
Starting point is 00:50:14 We appreciate this episode season three so maybe Entourage Brian Caldrich Yeah, that's like on trash brown count right yeah that's like early that's early 2000s yeah Rubino on trial is my name just another man yeah 2006 this is I think wow yeah 2006 how's 19 to think about that 2006 I was I was born in 98. You were 39 This was there 2007. They're both on IMDB. Oh, yeah Oh, yeah, so maybe it continued or yeah, now I was 39. I was so young
Starting point is 00:50:56 39 39 that's when I joined fire in the kids 39 I know dude, damn I was watching that eight-year-old you know, it all flies kids. I know, dude. Damn, I was watching that eight years ago. You know what else flies? Me. That's cry. That's your age. Yeah, that's me, my family, we would get together every week and we would sit down and watch that show together. Wow.
Starting point is 00:51:12 For the reason I moved out here. Listen to me. People love that show. I've never seen it. All of you listen to me. This is very fucking important. Yes, teacher. Write out your goals.
Starting point is 00:51:21 Do not feel your way through life. Be very specific about what you want to be, who you want to be, what you are going to regret not doing when you're 90 and what you would ask for if you know you could never be refused. If you do that and you keep doing that and you really face it, and you keep doing that and you really face it. You will learn more about yourself and then you will take action and become the person you dare be. Because most of us, it's really scary to think about it. It's really scary to fill out that sort of outline for yourself. Who wants to do that?
Starting point is 00:51:59 But if you don't do that, it won't work out. It won't. Don't suffer from wishful thinking. You know when you say we'll figure it out, no you won't. No you won't. Because you might be 30, but in about a year, you're going to be 55.
Starting point is 00:52:19 That's how it works. You sound like Robin Williams in that dead poet's society movie. Oh, maybe. But I just know that what I'm saying is- It's just a real shit. 100% true. It's not an opinion. It's a deep truth.
Starting point is 00:52:32 Please set very specific goals for yourself. Okay. Next thing you know, he's like, all right, it's your goal. And it's okay if it takes a long time. Anybody who tells you there are three steps to success, please run the other way. It takes forever, but be specific and it's okay if it takes forever.
Starting point is 00:52:51 People say, wait, people say that? There's a whole industry written around, like, you know, based around these three steps to wealth, these three steps to this and that, no, sorry. You only learn the hard way. You only learn by doing it wrong for a long time. Okay, that's like a, let's kind of like a loophole or people try, sorry, you only learn the hard way. You only learn by doing it wrong for a long time. Yeah, it's like a loophole or people try, it's okay.
Starting point is 00:53:10 You ever notice in standup how people try to go around, stand up and try to go around the working on being funny. And people don't realize, you can't go around that. They get good at, like, you know, yeah, They get good at building a name for themselves or a brand, but you got to have the goods, bro. Oh, you can't go around. People ask me from time to time,
Starting point is 00:53:36 how do I get this? How do I get that? How do I get an agent? How do I go? If you're asking me that question right now, you're completely out of touch with what you really... I heard Gary Vee, Gary Vee, you get an agent? How do you get it? I go if you're asking me that question right now You're you're completely out of touch with what you really I heard Gary V. Gary V You know that guy Very very easy. That's something to say that guy's smart guy and I don't know much about him
Starting point is 00:53:55 But there is a guy who asked him a question goes How do I get to a point where I've independent wealth and I can just be making money while on a beach sipping Penicoladas and and Gary V goes is that a serious question are you being serious yeah he goes oh that doesn't exist oh that's a terrible question that that's that'll never happen and you shouldn't that that question is a terrible question yeah that doesn't exist did did I don't give a fuck nobody's making money by doing nothing but sipping piniacalitis you fucking don't. No. I mean, you know what? Also that doesn't mean anything.
Starting point is 00:54:28 You get tired of sipping piniacalitis on a fucking beach. And then what? I know I was just with my buddy who was visiting me from London who has more money. He's about to sell his company, more money than anybody you know.
Starting point is 00:54:44 And he's been a huge success and we were at this hotel. He's got this view. And I was like, it's so funny, isn't it? And he goes, well, I go, that this is that you get used to this, that this is not what the happiness is about, that only building something or doing what you're supposed to do, getting good at something. You know what this motherfucker's gonna do? My buddy, he's got, he's got now too much money, right?
Starting point is 00:55:08 He's got all the money. And he said, I'm going to, I'm going to go work at a charity secretly for a week or two. I'm just gonna secretly show up and volunteer. And if I think it's worth, if it's a good charity and the people are good, I'm gonna secretly donate $5 million to that charity. So he's gonna go around his whole life and figure out a way to make the world a better place by giving away money, but he's gonna get in there himself,
Starting point is 00:55:36 get his hands dirty. We're just gonna wonder what his backstory is. He's usually my age, when he's someone has crazy backstory or anything of that nature, they tend to do things like that. You know, that, that, that, that, this is like a part of the world. They've like come up, they've come from the like this very, very bottom part of life. Nope.
Starting point is 00:55:56 And then they've like built the, came from middle class, middle class he had to, maybe even upper middle class. Okay. His dad built swimming pools. Okay. Um, in Connecticut. And he, he, but he but he didn't have to struggle, but he was always good at money,
Starting point is 00:56:10 always a very good athlete, always very focused, and would punch you in the face in a couple of seconds. Tough guy. This is all you need to know about him. 57 years old, a couple of things to think about. 57, all the money, okay, all the money. Captain of industry owns like, some of the fastest growing banks, he owns banks.
Starting point is 00:56:32 He owns banks. And when I say banks, I mean plural, banks, okay. 57 years old, he has abs. No, he doesn't take steroids, no, he doesn't take testosterone. He's just in that kind of shape. He has abs at 57. He stayed with me. Now, he could stay at any hotel he wanted in the world. He could stay. He could rent a house where he stayed with me. And you know what he did in my house? He cleaned. He cleaned the house for us because he would wake up early. And then he would, he made us dinner and went and bought,
Starting point is 00:57:07 I don't know, wines that, I drank, I drank, how much was it? My mortgage in wines, thousands of dollars in wine, but the motherfucker, like, the motherfucker just, just went and bought us all this food and cooked it and can cook too. That's who my friend is. So those are the kind of successful people I admire.
Starting point is 00:57:31 Dude, he's not, well, and the other, the huge option. How did he find that? How did he stay in town? He's always been the ballsy, his mother fucker on the planet. He's an expert, a skier and an an expert almost an Olympic level horseback rider. Yeah. Like he does eventing the most dangerous sport in the world where you jump over fixed jumps and people die. When I was there with him 10 years ago when he was he was he was at this professional event a woman died. I was there a woman died her horse fell on her. They helicopter. They put her in the helicopter
Starting point is 00:58:03 She expired in the helicopter. They had a moment of silence, they had a moment of silence. And that year seven people had died, sports illustrator ran an article saying the most dangerous sport in the world is eventing. He was one of those guys. And then he had an accident with a horse fell on him. He broke his sternum, his pelvis, his femur, his crack to vertebrae, he was in a coma, and in the Olympic riders came to his hospital room, and because he has sponsored a lot of them and said, you need to quit because you're making too many mistakes and you're going to die. But that's how Balzi is. So he's, he's, he's always been the Balziest motherfucker
Starting point is 00:58:39 on the planet. He's also always been brutally honest with his own shortcomings. He's also always been brutally honest with his own shortcomings. He's also insanely creative. Like he always says I'm not creative, but he has no idea what he's talking about because he's the kind of guy who can find a need. He can see where there is a need in a marketplace. And then he goes and does the impossible. My friends who are in the business,
Starting point is 00:59:04 like my family who are like, he's doing something that and does the impossible. My friends who are in the business, like my family, who are like, he's doing something that's kind of impossible. Too many people have tried it and failed. He does it over and over again. Okay. And so he's just amazing at building things. I don't know how his brain works. I don't know how he does it.
Starting point is 00:59:17 But even when I knew him in college, he could find ways to make money. So he's just one of those guys. He can see it. What are my buddies? He's friends with a very, very famous WWE star. And, and dude's wealthy. He's been killing a game, you know, because of WWE. And he was, they were doing, I don't know if it was WrestleMania at Staples Center.
Starting point is 00:59:41 Yeah. Instead of staying in a hotel, he just stayed on my homies couch. Meanwhile, he's about to go do a sold out show in the Staples Center. Yeah. And those are the people I'm always like, because it's about to work. Because that other shit is actually a distraction. So my buddy said, my buddy, I'm sorry to interrupt,
Starting point is 01:00:01 because I'm trying to figure out. He doesn't wear nice clothing he wears clothing that's that's nice he looks good he wears clothing but he's not gonna spend a fortune on great clothing he's not even I went to he took a hotel room to he had to do some work for a conference so he took a hotel room the last day and I walk in the room he doesn't even have a view I went I went I was like but you're on the third floor there's no there's of the street. He goes, I don't give a shit. It doesn't matter to him. He'll fly business or a first class.
Starting point is 01:00:28 It doesn't matter. He can fly privately. He can do whatever he wants. He, a business doesn't matter. It'll help fly business. He's, there's no ego. He'll fly business because he's not that big and he's like, I, I, I got a bet it doesn't matter.
Starting point is 01:00:39 I don't care about. Like, the guy is all about utility. The guy is all about building something. What gets him excited is getting good at something. Okay. Is is he's he was a phenomenal hockey player. He's a really good athlete. Yeah, one of those guys like the way he skis, he's an expert skier. He's an expert. Like I went to go skiing with him and he he's like he's so he was so fucking good at skiing. Like he would go so fast and jump. He's just fearless. Then he decides I'm gonna become, well then he becomes a fucking $100 million,
Starting point is 01:01:12 multi-hundred million dollar man, and decides I'm gonna change, you know. I'm gonna just become a huge entrepreneur. In another country, in another country, he goes to London and cruise from London. No dude, he's from Connecticut. He's a fucking Italian guy from Connecticut. Goes to the London School of Economics.
Starting point is 01:01:34 My dad gave him his first job. He was 18, 19. He was, no, he's graduating from college. My father called the guy and said, look, don't give this guy any special treatment. I don't want that on my head. If he sucks, you got to fire him. I'm just giving him a job, do whatever. The guy calls him, the guy calls my dad, I don't know, three months later. And he goes, hey, listen, my dad goes fire the kid. If it's a problem, he's, no, no, you don't understand. You don't understand. He's the best employee I've ever had. I've
Starting point is 01:02:02 never seen anybody work harder. He's showing up. He's here two hours early and two hours late. He's changing the whole way we do everything. He was fucking 21. This is not, he was like, he was an intern. He was an intern. Yeah. So some people are just undeniable.
Starting point is 01:02:20 And the reason he has a lot of respect among big entrepreneurs, the people of the multi-billion dollar, is because he did it all on his own. He's just a true entrepreneur. He didn't have any help. He didn't know anybody. He didn't have any connections. He didn't have anything. He just went out and just said, I'm gonna do this. Yeah, no, those are the stories I'm always curious of. I'm always curious of the person that has the wealth, but doesn't wear the wealth. That makes sense. Can I ask, can I add one more thing? Go ahead.
Starting point is 01:02:50 He's also kept his marriage, he's got a great marriage after 30 years, still in love with his wife, still treats her like a queen. His son is a fucking phenomenal. His son right now is playing with gang of youths. You're not a group. Oh, yeah, I met a son. Yeah, that that kid. Oh, that's Louis who is here. Louis is playing with gang use. Louis is a drummer on such a high place piano guitar, which he's doing now, but his drumming is on a different fucking level. And so he and he's got this incredible relationship with his dad. So the man's also a family man. He also has an older son who almost died when he was 18 months. And so he has special needs now.
Starting point is 01:03:32 Yeah. But so it's been all that that type of separation. Yeah. And as I think about him, this is my friend I've known since I was 18. Okay. I was thinking about a lot this week because he came to he stayed with with me and I was just like Some people are able to hold it together and stay humble and stay giving He just is like one of those guys. He just fucking takes care Yeah, and not saying that people that have wealth it when they want to spend their money That's that's fine. You could do that. But I'm always those are people that I'm always curious about my how did you find that level of I don't know being grounded I guess I don't know that I'm looking for yeah but there's
Starting point is 01:04:17 something about it to where I'm just so like when my buddy was telling me yeah he goes yeah he's big WWE star he He was like, hey, McKayla's is crashing, can you crash me your couch? Where's a couple of nights one? It's great. It's in town doing the, that's important. He was like, you don't wanna get it, he's gonna have to crash me.
Starting point is 01:04:32 Do you know what I like that? It goes back to what I've said before. And I think it's Rogan's secret. It keeps you, it reminds you, it continues to remind you that you are not better than the people you're performing for. You are not better. I don't care how much money you make. I don't care how famous you are. The minute, and I really believe this, and I know this. It's not I believe it. I know it. And Rogan knows it too. We've talked about it.
Starting point is 01:04:57 You are not better than the people you're performing. You don't know more about life. You're not smarter. You're good at one thing that's rewarded disproportionately. I'm really good at stand-ups, so I make a lot of money doing that if I can sell tickets. But that's it. I was lucky enough to be an actor, so maybe some people know me a little bit.
Starting point is 01:05:16 But that means absolutely fuck all in terms of being better than somebody. I don't know more than anybody. I made more mistakes than all of you guys, because I'm older, and I am more educated. Let's get to reading. But other than that, I am not if we come back here and we don't have any ounce of I'm not being telling a new intelligence or whatever. I'm just an old guy. I'm talking like a dad. Come sit on my lap, everybody.
Starting point is 01:05:48 Not you, Cal, getting trouble. I don't need any more of that trouble. Oh my gosh. That's amazing. I don't know. Well, you want to go on a curve of it? Let's just have a fucking moment of silence. Oh, Jen, what do you got?

But the fact that you both show up every fucking time here is a big deal to me. I don't know. It's just you become a huge part of the show. And there's something about that, I don't know what it is. That thing that you both have.
Starting point is 01:06:44 And chin, man, I mean, you know, of course, I love you, but you're so young, but you're just, you know, but you've been consistent. You're always here.

But they don't talk to each other. No. That's so sad.

Starting point is 01:12:09 know, we weren't like Millie Vanillee, do you know what I mean? Whatever that means, I don't know, but I assume they got on. But it kind of all started to unravel if I'm being honest when he started his calling label and he Demanded that in the Oasis tall program They'd be allowed to advertise it which I was I was against She does kind of it was right. What didn't think that was this. She bells kind of. It was right. What does it even mean though, Shepo?

From when there were kids. Knowles, their dad was very abusive. I bet. And I abusive. I bet. And I think it's a lot of damage.
Starting point is 01:14:07 Yes. And I think Noel got it worse than Liam. So there's this, well, this kind of, and I know that feeling personally, because that shit is real. When you get it worse, when one parent gives one kid worse treatment than the other kid or whatever. So I think that's where it stems from. I think it's more than just the fucking record label

So James Gunn is currently defending Chris Pratt because there are a lot of fans who are crying to have Chris Pratt taken out of the Guardians of the Galaxy like main character role. Because he goes to a church that people are saying is anti LGBT. I don't know how true or untrue that is.
Starting point is 01:15:17 But James Gunn had taken to Twitter to defend Chris relentlessly because Chris also stuck his neck out for James Gunn to be reinstated after he got fired from the Guardians of the Galaxy series. Fuck all of those. But what does his religious beliefs have to do with anybody? Oh, they're the most... They're the biggest pieces of shit on the planet. I don't know, I don't know this religion, I wouldn't dig any further and I don't know Chris or whatever, but to just sit there, I don't know Chris or whatever, but to just sit there,
Starting point is 01:15:47 there's a lot of people with fucking crazy, religious beliefs. Look man, let them have it. If he's keeping it to himself, then fuck it, let them have it. Shout out to James Gunn. Shout out to James Gunn. Who's James Gunn by the way? He's the director, he goes,
Starting point is 01:15:58 he is an I know church, he currently goes to, do you, the answer is you don't, but you heard from someone, heard from someone, heard from someone where he goes to church, so decided, yeah, I'll believe this terrible thing. I heard online about this celebrity.
Starting point is 01:16:08 Well done, but also, also, fuck those people. And someone said, it's always about money, my friend, always. Sad you see the world down. Yeah, who is this? Ty Smith has said that, who said that? Just a random person. Yeah, he's a dumb dumb.
Starting point is 01:16:21 These people are, they're not even real, so who cares about them? Yeah. You know, go fuck yourself. It's kind of a win or go fuck yourself, all those people, go fuck yourself. All right. That doesn't matter.
Starting point is 01:16:32 How this is great. Sorry, but I know, I apologize, man. So you were talking about Joe Rogan earlier with the Douglas Murray. Yeah, he was talking about how during the height of all of his cancellations, with the uh... the the during the height of all of his cancellations he actually gained two million subscribers during american's hate cancel culture yes
Starting point is 01:16:54 absolutely and then he continues to make fun of cnn for putting their program into a paid subscription site when people don't want it when it's free out here to cnn nobody wanted CNN when it was free. Yeah. They put 300 million dollars into CNN plus whatever fuck it was. And guess what? They had like 10,000 signups or less.
Starting point is 01:17:15 Can I ask something? When do you think, because obviously they're trying to cancel cultures trying to put out some type of message. When do you think, when do you think it's right? Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby. When you have 80 women telling the same story, when you have 50 people saying
Starting point is 01:17:40 this guy's a monster to work with, that's fine when it's coming from people who are telling the same story, and that's when, I believe in due process, but if you have enough evidence, if you have enough people telling the same story, if you have enough people saying, this fucking guy is a problem, or this woman or whoever.
Starting point is 01:18:03 Look, Amber heard in a court of law, you're starting to see that Amber Heard has some big fucking personality deficits or liabilities or disorders or whatever you want to call it. But it looks like everybody believes Johnny Depp and nobody believes Amber Heard it looks like Johnny Depp is awesome and Amber Heard sucks That's that's because Everybody is going I think you took advantage of the Me Too movement To gain some notoriety for yourself and you destroyed somebody's life and as Johnny Depp said He lost nothing short of everything. And she was fine with that because it just upped her profile. And she did great.
Starting point is 01:18:52 But what happens is, all of a sudden, in a court of law, we're all going, hold on here. Oh, it looks like there are two sides to this. And it looks like there might be something called toxic femininity as well. And she's an example of it, if I'm in my humble opinion, and it's just my opinion. But I have a little emotional investment in this, if you can imagine. So it seems to me that, you know, that's where I think that's like everything. There's a good side and a bad side to things. And every revolution eats its young. So when you have a revolution, when you like the meat to revolution or Black Lives Matter,
Starting point is 01:19:30 the pendulum always swings all the way over. But then it comes back to the middle because you can never live all the way over there. You cannot help it to have the pendulum come right back to the middle and you start to see that some things work, some things don't. So I think that's the most important takeaway is to realize that when you have, in the beginning of cancel culture, when you have these kinds of things and somebody can no longer earn a living, that's not good on hearsay. If you told an inappropriate joke that's sexual in nature and you get fired from a job
Starting point is 01:20:07 After doing work a stellar work with a sterling reputation for 50 fucking years Something's wrong here Something is very wrong when everything is just being a becoming a situation This is bad. This is bad. This is bad. This is bad. Yeah, because Disney fired Johnny Depp with no due process. And this is what corporations do They air on the side of caution because they're there. They go, oh, let's just believe this person because right now It's fashionable to believe in this person because right now the mob Will make us do that and if we don't we'll lose our shit. I might get fired So the problem with revolutions and the problem
Starting point is 01:20:47 with the lack of due process is that you will have very good people drag down because other good people have no choice but to behave corruptly because they're scared of their own ass. It's a climate of fear. It's McCarthyism in one way or another. Do you know macartheism? No. It was when there was a in the 50s in this country, if you were considered a communist sympathizer, people were terrified of the communist. It was like a red creep.
Starting point is 01:21:14 The reds were coming. And so in Hollywood, entire groups of people never worked again. Great directors and actors never worked again because they were, they went to a meeting that communist were at because they wouldn't give up names. They had, Congress had the committee on un-American activities. It was a committee led by Joe McCarthy, who was the Senator, I believe, from Wisconsin. And he dragged people up and said, did you ever, did you ever go to a meeting with Communists and who was at that meeting? We are here to get those names.
Starting point is 01:21:50 And I think David Merrill, who directed high noon, who was a great director, said, I am not giving, I am not giving you those names. I don't believe this is un-American. He said, have you no decency, sir? And he said that to Joe McCarthy. And he never worked again. And he couldn't feed his kids. So we've been through this before. Yeah. And it was because you might be a communist
Starting point is 01:22:09 or you might be a communist sympathizer. David Merrill was kicked out of those meetings for arguing against communist. Yeah. And he wouldn't give up names. But you know, who did? Ely Aqazan. Ely Aqazan was the the graduate directed Marlon Brando and on the waterfront all those moves. And so when you when he got a standing ovation that the Academy Awards for a lifetime achievement Ely Cazan was the the graduate directed Marlon Brandoan on the water from all those movies. And so when you when he got a standing ovation that the Academy Awards for a lifetime achievement award, you saw people like Amy Madigan and Nick Nolte and other really great actors sitting on their hands. They had their hands and you can see it.
Starting point is 01:22:36 You can bring it up. They were just sitting there. They were just sitting there with their hands in their hand because they didn't believe in standing up and clapping for him because he ruined a lot of careers through his testimony or at least that was the accusation. Yes. So I think in that sense, that's why cancel culture is dangerous because if you are not going to have due process, you're next motherfucker. Now you can also get rid of monsters.
Starting point is 01:23:04 There are monsters out there Agreed and if there's a monster out there like Harvey Weinstein who's a bad bad fucking person which we all knew about yeah And I keep a lot of my girlfriend I keep telling you my girlfriend who came to my defense, but my girlfriend Who was the first person to come out against Harvey Weinstein? She was the first person to go to the New York Times and I I remember her telling me that story 15 years ago. Maybe it was 20 now. I remember her telling me the story. And I remember her telling me that a lot of other famous actors who I won't name had this similar experience with Harvey Weinstein. Okay. So, and I also had two friends
Starting point is 01:23:42 that work with Harvey Weinstein. And you know what they said about him? They were like, I just can't, I've never met anybody who lies like that. He just lies. He's a liar. I mean, he just lies and then he's acts like nothing happened. So you understand? No, no, no, I get it, yeah. Bill Cosby is obviously a sick fucking criminal rapist.
Starting point is 01:24:06 Terrible thing to, you know, and he had, did he left a great legacy according to Dave Chappelle, if you see the, like all the money he gave to the different charities and stuff like that, but 80 women do. Yeah, that's, it doesn't make up for that. Of course not. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:24 So I'm like every revolution that's, that's the swings. I was one of those people. I lost everything. I lost my career. It won't come back. It won't. And 30 years of work sucked, but it's the truth.
Starting point is 01:24:40 Yeah. I have to figure that out. But, you know, that happens sometimes. It happens. And all I can do is kiand who I am. And, you know, so it hits home to me, but it should hit home to everybody. Because your brother, your sister, your son could be next. And they will be.
Starting point is 01:25:00 Yeah. So, I wish I could sing a song now. Hopefully this will be a song. I'm this will show you a TikTok that went viral and there is some songs in here. So if you keep going, this girl made a random TikTok and go back and then go forward. So this TikTok went viral. That's where it stops. Go back now. And just wait.
Starting point is 01:25:29 So this is a TikTok that went viral. And if you keep going, people are making duets to it.
