Not many men. Can withstand my punch? Punch.
Obviously. Obviously.
For sure.
Got a set a hair on them.
Black belts and chicken heads.
Uh, I think you'd be surprised.
I think you'd be surprised.
Abbott Kenny Fight Club.
Fight Club. Fight Club.
Mm, kids got a piece on them. Peace on.
Couple one, two cutie pies.
I still got it, baby.
Lift your shield.
And now from the Honest Scipio.
studios in Pliya, Vista, California.
It is the moment you've been waiting for.
The fighter and the kid is coming at you live.
No, no, we're not live.
That doesn't matter.
Sounds better when you say, live.
We're not live.
We don't do it.
Shut up, man.
And now it's the fighter and the kid.
Live.
Shut the live.
This is not live.
It's not live.
How are you feeling?
Fine.
fucking I laugh at COVID
do you really feel fine
I woke up all kinds
I've been for the past
since Tuesday I was all kinds of achy
all fucked up
but now you're better
I'm a little achy in the old legs area
but I'm fine that's weird I'm having aches
in my shoulders in my neck
and I got COVID dude
probably I don't know
did you shake hands with Brandon
no I if I did anything
it's this and I always wash my hands too
You're fine.
Okay, so Brennan needs to be your link again, so give me a sec.
What's up?
Hey, what's up?
Brendan, it's Brian.
How are you?
His audio is still connecting.
All right, he should be able to speak now.
What's up, Brandon?
Hi.
What's up, Corona, buddy?
Not much, buddy, boy.
I'm just hanging out pretty much fine.
I'm pretty much 100%.
It's a little lanky.
I can laugh, a little achy.
Kid, are we recording?
We're rolling, yeah.
We're good.
We should let everybody know that Brendan and I did everything wrong in Texas.
We basically, we spent practice, no social distancing,
got up in front of 350 people as they were laughing at us and shouting at us,
and then we got offstage, didn't change mics, shared it with Miley and Stevie.
Stevie's sick as a fucking dog.
He's the Corona poster boy, lost his sense of taste, smell.
and then we would walk through a crowd of people going,
yay, fish pumping like real irresponsible assholes.
Now it looks like Brendan's got coronavirus,
and I'm still waiting for my tests.
Well, here's the thing to all that.
Okay, well, I'm glad you wound on that rant, Callan.
And here's the thing, though.
Like I said, you know, Corona is something, you know,
I never said it was not real or anything like that.
I went about living my life.
I got it.
And you know what?
I'm fine.
Well, we should also make a caveat that most people, a lot of people who get it who are older
are not fine.
They're in the hospital.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on.
This isn't a, I'm not going to do this weird Corona thing with you.
What most people, just like my doctor told me, he goes, what you're, what you're experiencing,
97% of all people who get Corona experience the same thing.
So this podcast isn't going to be poor Corona, poor Brian.
Brendan. This is a thing where I was living my life. I got Corona. I'm fine. My family's fine.
I bunkered down. I quarantined. And that's what it is, man. Is it weird that I worked out today?
Is it weird that on day three, I worked out because I have energy? Do I look like I'm sick?
It's interesting. I'm waiting for my results. We'll see what happens. But if I feel if you have
it, Stevie has it, you know, my flu symptoms are not. But it's true.
I talked to my doctor who said, for the most part, symptoms are all over the place.
And, you know, and I said, I got to be honest with you, I can, I'm moving about my day.
And he said, that's very calm.
Yeah, I mean, you should, you shouldn't be moving about your day.
You still stay quarantined if you think.
Yes.
I'm staying quarantine because I don't want to give it to anybody.
Yeah.
I don't, I don't, I'm not going anywhere.
Yeah.
Because I think I'm trying to be responsible because I definitely now, now I understand, like, I'm, you know, I would
never go anywhere.
And if I had to go anywhere, I would wear a mask and I'd be,
outside, you know, because I just don't, I don't want to be responsible for giving it to
anyone.
No, that's the whole thing.
That's why I do the podcast like this, you know?
Because it is.
Dude, if you have underlying health conditions, if you're, especially if you're obese
or if you're older, yeah, I mean, you know, we got it.
I mean, we're morons and we went about, you know, going on tour and stuff, but.
We did everything wrong.
Yeah, I don't agree with that.
I don't agree with that, but you didn't.
We did everything wrong and what fat, like.
No, no, I just mean.
just mean if you didn't want to catch it. Like we went to, um, when we were on our way Saturday
to do our final shows in San Antonio, we got an amber alert that said, listen, cases are
spiked and you can't come in. So 90, 90 people canceled on us, uh, the first show, but we have to do,
we have to do a show. I mean, that's the other thing about being a comic. We sold a lot of tickets.
I got to do the show. We were responsible, washed their hands and stuff like that, but you're,
you're going to catch something. I think if you're, you're, you're,
if you're performing on stage with all those people.
And that was a risk that I took responsibility for
and I was willing to take responsibility for.
Yeah, I think if you were any older,
if you were your age count and you had underlying health issues,
like obesity or diabetes or you had pneumonia before, something like that,
but yeah, you probably shouldn't be on tour, my man.
If I wasn't bull, healthy and shredded, you're right.
And here's the thing.
I hate to do this to you.
I think you're jumping on the croto train.
I don't really think you have it.
I got to be honest.
Come on, man.
I got to be honest.
You tested negative.
You tested negative.
And then you're trying to jump on the train.
That's a cough.
That's a fucking cough.
You said that.
He goes, I think you're jumping on the corona train.
That's bullshit, dude.
I saw your test.
I saw your test.
They said you didn't have it.
Now you took another one back to bed.
I took another one because I woke up all kinds of achy.
Yeah, I don't know, dude.
I don't think you have it.
You don't know.
You're trying to jump on this train.
You don't know, dude
You heard me cough just fucking now
Hey cat and chin
Are you guys worried about any of it?
Yeah
Okay
I feel like I have a slight fever
But I don't think I have it
I think that's just from
wearing long sleeves
To being around my family
Because I have to hide my tattoos
That's it
Oh they don't have tattoos still?
They do
They just my mom doesn't like seeing it
That's fair
And chin open
podcast with I've been having pains in my shoulders and my neck.
But I took one earlier when we do the test, I was like, I've been having these pains forever,
so I can't tell if it's from Corona or not. I don't know.
Well, you had a headache for six years, too, so, you know.
Yeah.
It's true.
It sucks.
Huh?
Hey, Chin.
Yeah.
This, uh, girlfriend of yours.
Nowhere to be found.
I mean, uh, don't stare.
Is it possible that she's...
She's being an amazing human being,
and she's taking care of her sister's kids
in Orange County right now.
And if she ends up being a he,
we don't give up.
Oh, no, A, B, I've seen her.
I've seen her.
You guys know her.
I saw him camping.
Yeah, she's a cutie.
I believe it.
And they have anything glasses.
You know what the worst thing about this whole corona
is so Sunday, when I was flying,
I started to feel just like,
like almost I always get sick on planes, but I didn't feel great.
I'm like, man, what's going on?
And then I was like, it was probably just like a cold thing.
And then Monday, again, didn't feel great.
That's when you guys saw me get the IV and get, and I also got tested on Monday.
And then it was like the symptoms were always like, you know, when you're about to get like a bad flu.
And you start to like experience the symptoms.
Like, here we go.
It's like the very start of a cold or flu, but it just stays there.
It doesn't get any worse.
And then I quarantine for three days now.
And then I woke up this morning 100%.
I don't know what it is.
Probably feel better than I've felt in a long time.
But the worst thing about it is your taste and smell leaves.
Yeah.
So I can't like, I'll make the strongest coffee in the world and I can't taste anything.
That's so weird.
Nothing.
I can't taste anything.
As you're talking, you know what I realized?
much to my depression.
My eyes look exactly the same.
Thank you.
Oh, they look.
Dude, you look identical.
There's no change.
Zero change.
Like,
your mind taking a little more off?
I was supposed to have lids
and I'm still seeing this.
Well, thanks a lot, Dr. No help.
Hey, can I be honest about your doctor?
Yeah.
You made you look a little older.
No.
Rogan was telling me to take it.
like IVs.
And I know that's bullshit.
And he goes, look at you and look at me.
That's all you need to say.
And I'm like, I don't know, dude.
We look about the same age.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't know what your thing is against IVs.
I've got an IV every day, including today, to knock this thing out.
Well, obviously, it's working because you're 100%.
You woke up going, I have zero symptoms in day two.
Zero.
What's in the IV?
What's in the IV?
Are you doing the other magic shit that makes you that stops you from aging?
No, I've done NAD drips before.
Those suck, man.
Those hurt.
You know what?
I'd rather look older than deal with that all the time.
Really?
I'll tell you what I can't wait to do.
My dad doesn't know I have Corona.
I can't wait to call him and tell him and then rub it in his face.
That's what I can't wait to do.
My dad is so.
He's a CNN.
He's a CNN junkie, isn't he?
Oh, dude.
You have no idea.
You have no idea.
You have no idea.
It's amazing.
It's amazing.
Well, we're back on lockdown, I think.
No, we're not.
Nope.
What do you mean?
L.A. feels like it's still on lockdown.
Not lockdown, but they're close.
So wineries, restaurants, all this stuff, you can't dine in, we can dine out.
If they have, like, a patio, we can do that.
You can dine out.
The beaches are closed just for July 4th, but people aren't going to listen to that.
New York City is closing off entire streets, and restaurants just put all their stuff,
30 tables outside.
It's pretty cool in the streets.
Yeah, everyone's outside.
Yeah, it's cool.
Yeah.
It's nice.
I'm curious to see how long this corona fear things didn't keep going because a statistic just came out today with Florida, which is just booming with all these cases.
And I sent this to you, Callum.
You look at the deaths.
It's 0.4 of deaths of all the cases.
0.4%.
So it's like all the death rates are growing like this, but the coronavirus is spreading like this, but deaths are down.
So it's like, I don't know how much longer than be able to hang on to this.
Well, I hope that I come up back positive because I want to get it, so I don't have to worry about it, you know.
If there's a time to get it, it's probably now.
You know what?
Our friend Jeff Foley told us, who's the owner of Tempest Gym, shout out to Jeff Foley, he goes,
I go, dude, I can't take Tiger to your gym on Friday, man.
I got hit with that COVID.
And he goes, can I be honest?
Can you still come and rub it in my face so I can get it over with?
Yeah, exactly.
I know. Everybody is eventually apparently going to get it. I mean, you know, but hopefully we have better therapeutics.
So I talked to my buddy who's a doctor who had it and he works at UCLA. And I said, what drugs would I take if I do? And he goes, right now, nothing.
Nothing.
I mean, you know, there's other things you can take. But there's this HIV drug you can take if it gets really bad.
You don't need to do that, though. If you don't have, I talked to my doctor, too. He's like, are you experiencing severe stuff?
you know he goes that's only worst case there's some side effects that stuff too
fuck yeah there is you know you know you guys know if you listen to the podcast i've been going
hard on crohn and stuff like that but when i got i was like oh shit oh man this this could get
dicey i you know even i got scared from all that fear porn fuck yeah the question you do but even my
doctor was like dude knowing how healthy you are and stuff like that you're going to experience
mild symptoms i bet you get over it really quick i was like i hope so i had images of you and i both
ventilators.
Me too.
And we're like,
we can't do the podcast and just fucking
die in.
Like, what the fuck?
Those two assholes who have been going hard
in the pain against Corona just fucking die.
No, I'm glad I got it because now I can
talk from a personal experience.
Obviously, my experience is different than some people,
but for the majority of people
under 40, this is what
it's like, dude.
Can I ask you guys a question? Can I ask you a question
seriously? You look 67 years old.
I have Corona, but
I'm looking at my skin tone and the tightness of it
and I don't think I look a day over 40.
It's fucking weird.
Hey, Papa, there's a few lies there.
See, I don't know.
Cat agrees.
That's how I care of.
Hey, Brian, there's a few lies there.
Hey, you don't have corona.
You got the test that said you didn't have it.
You don't know that, dude.
I'm waiting for my fucking, let me check.
Hold on.
Let me check my phone.
Hold on.
Brian won't get so bad so he can act like he has something to talk about.
Did you guys take the antibody?
Yeah.
You are 100% positive.
full-blown corona. That's what it just said in my test. Oh, the doctor said full-blown,
huh? Yeah, yeah. Is this the same doctor who did your lids and called you, bro?
Yeah. Yeah, he said, bro. He said, bro, you have full-blown corona. Congratulations. You are,
I believe if anybody can fight this, you can. Hi, how he's doing. I go better. Same worse.
He goes, discouraging, man. I thought I was feeling better last night. Woke up three times, soaked
and sweat, had to shower and change the sheaths.
Feel the same today.
Stevie's all fucked up.
Well, remember, too, Stevie has underlying health conditions.
Stevie has had cancer and had his legs crushed.
Stevie spent days 12 to 13 in a wheelchair, and then he had full-blown fucking lymphoma and
almost died.
That's why Stevie sleeps 14 hours.
And Steve is, Steve is delicate.
Like, Stevie will be like, oh, man, we're like, what's wrong?
I guess, ah, fuck, I didn't get enough sleep.
Like, Steve, you slept, you woke up at new.
Hey, and here's nothing.
Stevie has no health insurance.
He doesn't have health insurance.
So I better be okay, though.
I think it'll be okay.
I think it just manifests itself differently in people.
Does your girl have it be?
I think she's sick too, yeah.
But she's feeling better.
She's feeling better already?
Did she get tested for it or no?
She got tested, so we're waiting on the test.
We're probably 100% positive.
You wish.
So you have something to talk about.
I love it.
You wish, dude.
You're like Tom Hanks.
Dude, how am I going to fucking happen?
How did I get the flu and not corona?
If you have corona, 100% you gave it to me.
No, but here's the thing is you keep, I don't know,
you need to talk to your doctor because my doctor goes,
you guys wouldn't have gotten San Antonio.
You would have got it way before then.
Really?
Yeah, he goes, let's say you got to San Antonio on Thursday.
The symptoms aren't going to show up that fast.
I thought it was between three days and two weeks.
Yeah, well, my doctor stands between four to 14 days.
You know what shows me is they have no fucking clue what they're talking about.
But the other thing is, is my brother-in-law had it two weeks ago.
And I was with him riding bikes and we were making out.
You guys give each other to us out of your bike rides.
Yeah, so.
That's what it is in a closed room.
Yeah, if making out with somebody gives it to you,
guilty.
Brian, your face is you guys?
Why is Brian's computer frozen?
Must be his Wi-Fi or, I don't know.
There he goes.
You're back.
I'm back.
That was weird.
I have full bars.
Hey, here's the question.
When can we go back into studio?
Two weeks?
No, not true.
Because if I'm going to get tested, I talk to showtime.
I'm going to get tested again on Monday because I'm feeling so good.
If you can come back, yeah.
Yep. Yep.
As soon as you have a negative test, you can come back.
That's what I have to do because I'm positive for sure.
I'm going to have to get a negative test.
I can't wait.
Yours is going to be another negative.
You have no excuse not to do the podcast.
Yeah, I have a test set up for Monday.
So I assume if I'm fine now by Monday I should be all right.
Hopefully I'm no problem.
If I have COVID, then this is a very mild case of COVID I have to say.
But that's how it is.
Like my brother-in-law, he was like, I had a, he goes the worst part
for me is I had a scratchy throat for three days,
and he tested positive for it.
A lot of young people have very mild symptoms.
Are they very symptomatic?
Not even young, dude.
45, 98% have this same symptoms.
Quit spreading lies, Brian.
You have it.
And it's not shit, dude.
I have it.
It's not shit.
Now, what you shouldn't do, Brian,
is go to your parents, though, because you're dad.
I know.
I'm not.
I had to cancel that.
I can't take that risk.
No, I mean, like my girls' parents,
they're usually always over watching Tiger in Boston.
They're not coming over, probably for two weeks.
Yeah, that's the bummer.
That is the bummer.
But I can't risk getting them sick.
Were you going for anything particular,
or you're just going to see them?
Just going to take my kids and hang with, you know,
just kind of get away from my grandparents.
You can reschedule, though.
I love hanging with my parents.
I don't take it for granted that they're still alive.
Big way of people.
That's good.
Yeah, I assume you like hanging with them.
You and your dad get into good arguments that are?
I love hanging with them, but yeah, we argue like cats and dogs.
And you haven't told them you have, you tested positive?
I was waiting for me.
Well, I was waiting because if I was on a ventilator, he'd been, you know, like I fucking told you.
So I've been waiting.
I've been in the Corona tall grass.
Like, yeah.
Go on a, did you go on a, on a bike ride?
today? I sure did, Brian. And then what else, I did 15 miles today. And then what else I'm doing
is I'm building a bike right now in the garage, a new bike. I'm building a new bike from YT.
I didn't know you could build something. Are you good with, I don't picture you as being a
mechanical guy with your hands. We'll picture this dick in their mouth. I've been doing it for a long time.
I don't know about that, dude. I've never seen you fix anything. You're not a mechanical guy.
This is the third bike I put together. I'll send you a picture of it. I should video it.
These YT bikes come pretty standard, but I'll switch out the shocks, the forks.
You know what I'm talking about.
My neighbor builds motorcycles.
He has a motorcycle shop, and he said, if it's broke, I can fix it.
And I said, what's broke?
He goes, anything, I can fix it.
And I went, that's a town.
That's a town that I don't have.
It's not a town.
It's just fucking on it.
It's just if that's what you're into.
Like I was never in bikes before this, and now I'm balls deep in them.
I learned how to fix the chain if it breaks, the tires and all.
Right.
Right.
It's like just information.
That's how I am with horses, man.
For horses, for a horse is fucking wild, I'll break it.
You know what I mean?
What if a horse breaks its leg?
You can still kill it?
No, I'm one of the few people that can splint a horse.
I can splint a horse.
Ooh.
What I do is I chop, I karate chop his neck, and I hit a nerve.
and he gets paralyzed and I pull, I set the bone, wrap it, and then he's fine.
I'll tell you what, Daddy's about to lose some weight because without taste, I don't feel like
eating anything.
So the only thing I feel is I'm a little lightheaded because I've been eating in, oh, I don't
know, damn near two days now.
Yeah, it kills your appetite.
Well, I'm hungry, but I just, if I can't taste it, what's the point?
I wish there's a pill, so I would have this all the time, and I'd be so skinny.
Well, I, I, I don't know.
I got myself a little, I got myself some chicken, chicken soup,
and it was delicious from Benny's tacos.
Rotisserie chicken vegetable soup.
Oof.
I had to throw the potatoes out because you know I don't need nightshades.
Oh yeah, you can't have nightshades.
That's right.
You can't have nightshades.
It's really helped my mobility.
Meanwhile, I called you today because my neck keeps catching.
Oh, God.
There's nothing more annoying.
There's nothing more annoying.
Brian goes, oh, dude, my neck.
I go, have you done anything?
He goes, no, dude, but all the years of wrestling and jih Tzu, my neck hurts.
Oh, really?
Oh, yeah?
I knew that would bug you.
Oh, and then now your neck hurts and you have corona?
Weird.
Dude, my neck, if anybody's a physical therapist, please reach out to me.
I need to figure this out because my neck keeps catching.
When I go like that, it goes and it hurts like a fucker.
It's scary.
Yeah, it's nothing.
Hey, here's the other thing.
You don't know.
You're saying my corona and my neck are nothing.
Yeah, I'm not believing any of it.
Hey, remember when you drove down to San Diego and you missed the podcast and you were there for 10 hours getting all sorts of tests?
Turns out I'm very healthy.
They didn't do any MRIs on your spine and your neck or anything?
They did.
I got to call them and see what the fuck they saw.
If you would have had like a dead disc or something in there, I would assume they would have alerted you.
I don't know.
Hopefully.
that would be bad to have a dead disc what the fuck is that what do they do about that that's what i have
i mean it depends how bad it is they can do surgery but if you'll see on the MRI it's like
there's the disc and then it's like black it's dark do you have that and do you have limited motion
on your neck i don't i don't notice that with you uh it's a little stiff thanks Travis brown
he did that well he we're training for it with Jake Jake well jack maize did it Jack
You guys landed on your fucking head.
I thought you were dead.
And then when I went to go shoot in on Travis Brownie sprawled right on my neck.
So I made it be aware.
I remember you walking around for like three months.
Like you couldn't move your neck.
And your girl at the zoo was like, why aren't you doing it?
Because talking about it is not going to fucking help it.
No, what are you going to do, man?
You just got to be in pain all the time.
That's it.
Chin, I like your black couch.
Yeah.
Hey,
Hey, Chin and Kat, you guys can talk.
You know you can't get Corona through the Zoom meetings, right?
Yeah.
I know that.
There's nothing to say right now.
Are you guys worried at all?
No, I had my family over for the week while my sister moved in.
So I was a little worried about that, but I don't think I have it, honestly.
We don't really, we don't hug or we don't get that close to each other.
We don't have to.
We don't.
We don't.
But even the fist bump is rare with us, Jim.
We kind of just come in and say what's up, but we keep our distance.
Theo was worried about it because he was going to see his mom who's 99 years old,
and he was worried about giving it to her.
Did he get a sense for now?
Yeah, he got a test, I think, yesterday or today, and he was, you know,
but he says he doesn't feel anything.
Chappelle said he doesn't feel anything.
You don't feel anything.
I think, you know, who knows?
How's Malik?
Can we check with him?
Yeah, I checked with him.
He's fine.
What did Malik say?
He said he's fine, dude.
Your thing keeps freezing, huh?
Yeah, but not my thing.
I have full bars.
No, I know.
You keep saying that, but yours is the only one that keeps freezing, you know?
When you say bars, I'm worried you're not on Wi-Fi, bro.
Yeah.
I am on Wi-Fi.
All right, good.
Hopefully.
It could be made of whatever.
It's all good.
I got downstairs
but I have to close to my router
That's not too bad, dude
Yeah
No
So I guess
You can't even leave the house
Huh Callan?
We can't do anything
Not until I know what the fuck is going on
And if I do
If I am positive
I do have to stay here
Yeah I'm quarantined
Away from the family
What's that?
I said I'm quarantined
Just in my basement
Away from the family
But then
I'll go outside
And I'll ride my bike
Like, you're pulling the old Chris Cuomo.
Yeah, Chris Cuomo.
Yeah, that's exactly what I'm doing.
You know what's weird about Chris Como?
Because, you know, I'm just chilling,
especially when I thought I was going to be on a ventilator.
So I was watching a lot of just staying in the basement watching shows.
I don't agree with a lot of Chris Como's points of views,
especially politically and everything he's doing.
But I like him as a person, and he's funny as hell, man.
He's a good guy.
I know him.
I used to know him, like, fairly well.
I know.
You always talk highly of him.
It's so funny because he had these two guys on there.
You know the guy who was defending his house with the gun against the protesters?
He had him and his lawyer on there.
The lawyer was literally ramble out something.
And Chris Come on goes, listen, I don't know what the hell you're talking about.
I don't even know if that was English.
Because then we're going to stop this interview right now.
It was so funny, man.
He was, I don't know what.
Chris, I don't think Chris wanted to do that job at first from what I hear.
And then he took it.
Chris is like, Chris is, my recollection of Chris,
he was a really humble dude and just a fucking,
just an athletic, humble guy who was just all the girls liked
and just a regular dude.
But he also, like, was very aware that he was in his father
and brother's shadow.
He had to deal with that shit all the time.
His father was the governor?
Yeah, longtime governor.
His father's a legend in New York.
Yeah.
Are they kind of like, like,
the Kennedys of New York, Call?
Yes, they're a dynasty.
And, you know, remember Chris was also
hanging out with the Kennedys and all those people.
He grew up.
Wow.
He grew up in Gracie Mansion.
I mean, he lived in Gracie Mansion.
What's Gracie Manton?
That's where the mayor of New York lived,
the governor of New York lives.
I mean, it's a big deal.
So he grew up as royalty in a way.
But Chris was always a guy from what I remember,
and I knew him as a young guy,
who was like he was just humble and very aware
of that liability.
hated it. He was like a guy
he wanted to be taken
seriously. And he was also like some guy like,
remember one time this guy goes something like
he saw Chris Chris, Chris's very big and muscular IQ
and the guy said something like I ran a
4-5-40 to Chris.
And Chris, Chris was sitting there with his
hands in his pocket and he goes, well
I have enough trouble just waking up in the morning, dude.
It was fucking great. He's like, I don't want
to compete with you on this shit. He was a fan
too. He would come to my stand up and
He loved it.
Good guy.

Okay.
Okay.
So, do you remember the movie that Brendan said he made a small cameo in, the tax collector?
No.
Well, the trailer just released, and I tried really hard, and I could not find Brendan to save my life.
I'm in there. I'm in there. I'm the cartel members with the mask on. You'll see me three times.
Okay. Will you point yourself out when we play it?
Well, as soon as you see guys with mask on, I'm then.
Let me see it. So just in it. I'm in it a little more than Brian was in the Joker.
Hi.
Just so you know when we watch.
Uh-oh.

well watch okay you don't say anything but I'll tell you when you see me oh

That's my function.
God allows me to walk through darkness
and come back into the light.
What does you see you mean?
I heard that he was like bad gangster.
You're taxed in 43 for street days.
That's thousands of the dudes
in the most violent.
So close for Los Angeles.
That's short.
That's me.
It's good, Brandon.
That was good.
That's me.
You want to cut your heart up.
Can't run for what's left.
I got 380 on Eichenko, 38 in my right, 25 in my left, chop in the trunk, lock my phone.
I'm on it.
That's me.
You're bad.
You're bad, all right?
That's me.
Open your mouth.
Who's plight you brains out.
I don't want that.
I do. I won't time.
Shia LaBuff is a hell of an actor.
Oh, dude, he is phenomenal.
That was my biggest takeaway from doing that movie,
the three-second nap I had in that movie.
Just being on set for like three or four days with Shaila LaBuff,
my God, he is a fucking fantastic actor.
He's so goddamn good.
Here's what's interesting about that.
I didn't know when it was coming out,
but it's David Dayor's movie who did Training Day,
he did Fury, he did suicide squad, all that.
But he, in order to make that movie,
one of the acts, that Bobby Soto's father is connected to the Mexican cartel.
So it's based off a true story.
But where they shot it, they shot in the straight ghettos of Los Angeles,
but nobody messed with the sets or any of the shoots
because they had real, like, shot collars and gang members for security.
It was really cool.
It was really, really scary, but cool.
That's pretty wild.
Yeah.
Yeah, man.
He's something else that kid.
He's something the fuck else.
Oh, dude, he is such a fucking talent.
It's insane.
You got to love acting to get that into it.
His hair, the way he does everything, he's amazing.
For Fury, he thought it would look more realistic if he got a tooth removed.
So he actually took a tooth out to film Fury.
For this movie, Tax Collector, his character, CREPER, has a chest tattoo that says,
forget what it might say creeper.
He got a real tattoo across his chest that says creeper.
Jesus Christ.
Well, yeah, I'm not an actor.
He's as committed as they get.
Then also you look at what he does to give back to, you know, underprivileged kids.
It's insane.
You're talking about a good dude, man.
He's a great dude.
He came up really, he had no money.
His dad was selling hot dogs, I think, at the stadiums.
He's Dodger Stadium.
Yeah, he has a very tough upbringing.
But also, you look at.
think about Shia LaBuff.
He did that movie Peanut Butter Falcon,
which got so much high praise.
Then he did the other one, Honey Boy,
which was his life story that he wrote and directed.
And now he did this one as well with David Ayers.
He's a beast, man.
He's special, special guy, man.
Steven Spielberg said that.
Steven Spielberg saw him in something and said,
this kid is the future.
Yeah.
It's phenomenal. Very rare.
He put him in that Indiana Jones.
I'll tell you what, though,
after being on that set and like seeing that like the dramatic roles and he's this gangster stuff like that
I was like oh this isn't for me like I had to watch him I had to watch him play this serious role this scene out over and over like it's the most dramatic scene in the movie and he kept doing it over and over I'm like oh man this is that I do not want to do that
I was like Joaquin Phoenix watching him go over and over like that's like that's a masochistic process you got it kind of like yeah it's not comfortable to be in that position
No, yeah. I think if it was a, if it was like a movie of like all our friends and it was funny, like we did for finding Kid 3D, that would be fun. But to do like a serious role movie like that and you're shooting for months, that's just, I knew like, you know off the bat. I'm like, oh, that's not for me. This life isn't for me. Sitting in a trailer, waiting until I go on, switching outfits, doing makeup. Stand up. Stand up for me. Stand up, stand up.
Yeah.
I'm a fan of the podcast.
I'm a cartel guy on there.
I haven't seen the final cut in the movie.
I have no idea how much I'm in it.
I don't make them go.
I get audition.
My mind's in there or nothing.
You know,
I have no idea how much I'm in it.
I did audition for a really fun series
that I've just almost finished,
called the boys,
about superheroes that are bad.
These guys are superheroes
and they're just take advantage of their powers.
So you audition for me?
I auditioned for it.
I would never have auditioned for something.
but I saw it and I went, this is a fucking good role.
Oh, did you get it? Do you know?
I don't know yet, but it would be something I would do.
That would be cool.
I hope.
Because I could kill it.
I could kill it.
I play just sort of this fucking motherfucker of a superhero.
Do you think you're going to start maybe doing some more auditions to me
for stuff that you want to do now or now?
I don't think so, Bob.
I think the truth is that I just want to stick to stand-up and podcasting.
Unless it's like a good role or something?
Maybe, but I've never liked acting because I've never liked acting
because I don't like the process.
It's a little bit like skiing.
Skiing's fun when you're on the hill and you're going down the hill.
It's getting all the gear and the cold and all that.
The amount of, it's just the shit you'd go through with that.
I just never like the process.
I hate to say it.
I have to admit that to myself at 53.
I spent my whole life acting and trying to be an actor.
And I realized that so much of it was just my,
if you are Shia LaBoff, Bradley Cooper, you love acting.
Those guys love it.
Joaquin Phoenix, all those guys.
Me, I had options.
I liked being funny.
I like doing stand-up.
That's when I feel the best.
That's what I feel the most alive.
Thank God you're really good at stand-up, you know?
Yeah.
You know, if you go down that road of acting and that's your passion
and you're trained in it and you get to 53 years old and you realize,
man, maybe I don't want to do this.
A lot of you guys are stuck, you know?
They're stuck.
And, you know, people are not paying actors because they don't have to.
You don't want to do that role?
We'll just go over here.
No problem.
You don't want to do it for scale plus 10 percent?
That's all right.
You're great, but we have three other dudes or maybe 10 other guys who are really good.
I was talking to Tom Seguer about this last night.
Like, thank God we're able to still do our podcast and stuff like that because,
you know, even with this Corona stuff, it's maybe, you know, especially me getting Corona.
It's like, all right, how much do I want to do the road until they figure stuff about,
stuff like that?
But it's like, I think God I have that option to decide what I want to do thanks to podcasting.
Thanks to you and me doing this, like in how many years?
ago, decided to fucking ride it to the wheels
fall off? Seven. Seven years, I think.
Crazy, huh? Yeah.
But that will be my acting debut, okay?
I might have a mask on. You will
see me in the restaurant as well, I think,
unless they edited me on the whole thing.
But, uh, okay,
shine the buff, okay.
On Matt TV, sometimes you'd have to be in four hours
of makeup just to be in the back around
because you'd be wearing prosthetics. You'd be wearing
plastic, they paint rubber
fucking face pieces on you.
Well, how about Jim Carrey to play
the Grinch? They said he was in makeup for 14
hours sometimes. You'd go crazy.
You have to sit
there. I'd go crazy.
It wasn't
14 hours, but it was, I promise it was
a long time. It was more like five hours.
No, no, no, no. As long as that, because he said
he had to get some training, some mental training
to get through it. Yeah, usually
it's four hours.
I've done exactly
that makeup so I can tell you.
Oh, you've done the Grinch?
Yeah, I've done that kind of makeup.
I've had that kind of crazy amount of makeup on.
So a lot of times it's a face mask that you're wearing.
You have a bald paint and you have a wig.
There's a lot.
I've done it.
I've done it.
I just up, I did.
Hold on, spending two hours in the morning, getting in, one hour in the evening, get out.
You came a Zen mat.
Oh, okay, sorry.
You're right.
How long does it take, it'll take more than 14 hours.
It'll take more than two hours, though.
I've been in makeup for as long as three hours, three and a half hours.
I mean, listen, how much do you get paid for the Grinch?
Shut your fucking mouth.
Get in the main thing there for two hours.
You know what?
I'm at 14 hours total.
Come on, man.
You can go a little crazy, though, because what happens is you're in that mask and you can't really eat or do anything.
You have to drink out of a straw, and you can't move.
So you're in that, you're wearing essentially glue and rubber on your face for 16.
hours and then you go home and it takes an hour to get out then you go home you wake up really early
and you start all over again it's a motherfucker it's claustrophobic it's tough i'm seeing how much you got
paid a lot oh he made uh he made uh he made 32 million listen for 32 million i will sit in that chair
for 24 hours straight you feel i'll suck i'll suck your dick for it i'll suck your dick
For three months straight for $32 million.
I'd suck your dick.
Three months straight.
Or I'll just make Grinch, too.
You know, you don't have to suck you.
Or I'd suck your dick.
Okay.
Well, I feel like you do that for free and a little bit of makeup.
That's bullshit, dude.
I need $32.
I mean $32 million.
A little rouge on the lips.
I'll wear a wig.
Yeah.
That movie does like sick, though.
I just like David Ayrson, Shiloh, so I hope it does well.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay. So the next story is a couple in Ohio were running errands, and they decided to go pick up pizza from Little Caesars.
When they picked it up, they got in the car, started driving.
The wife noticed that there was a backward swatsika on the pizza and pepperoni.
They ended up reaching out to Little Caesars to see how this could have happened.
and after an investigation, they found out that this was an inside joke between the workers at that particular location,
and this pizza wasn't supposed to be sold to any customer.
And that's the reason why it wasn't cut.
So they're saying it was an insensitive inside joke with people who are working that shift,
and Little Caesars is just trying to rectify the situation with the family behind the scenes.
So is that a, that's a backwards for us to us, right?
Nacquit Swatska, which is actually the symbol for Buddhism.
It's a symbol for good fortune, actually.
Yes.
So in India right now, you can see a lot of people who right now, they have so saris on,
and they have that exact diagram all over it.
Yeah, and the Nazis took it over.
Here's the thing, though, is we're giving these little Caesar pizza employees too much credit
if we think they were doing the Hindu sign there.
Yeah.
Probably true.
Probably true.
What else you got?
All right.
Little Caesar sucks.
dick anyway. Just because you can eat
a swastika doesn't mean it's in good
taste. But also,
I thought Little Caesar was square
slices. Did they go to round slices?
Oh, yeah. Huh? They did
revamp recently of
their pizza. I think it tastes better.
I think I tried it maybe a couple months ago and
it was pretty good. Dude, I'll tell you what
I did. When I was stressed out
a few weeks ago, I ate
dominoes for six nights in a
row. What I do is I get
a large pepperoni
hand-tossed pizza and I put extra sauce on it so you know that shit's fresh and it is so goddamn good
delicious when it comes to like fast pizza like that ain't nobody but better than dominoes i think i want
pizza now oh it's so nice dude i'm hungry that but that pizza was in poor taste even though they were
trying to make pizza racism more palatable okay so the next story is
There was a university in Japan that recently opened up their curriculum to allow people to get a master's in ninja studies.
And what ended up happening was there's a 45-year-old man who went to that university in order to be studying history, traditions, and fighting techniques of a ninja.
He is officially the first man to have a master's in ninja studies.
Now, did he minor in nerdism?
probably i'm not sure but uh yeah that's the thing now good now uh why do you think you should work
for our corporation um i uh i have a master degree in ninja i'm a ninja apparently he's
and not to climb a mountain quietly because you know you know what's the curriculum
how do we know what they're not exactly we just know that he has to study the history of ninjas
i guess where it started how it progressed what they
did and then he had to learn
some martial arts. I don't
really know exactly where
you go with that, but it took him two years
and he has his master's. Well, you
have to study ninjitsu, which is illegal
in UFC because it's too deadly.
True, facts, true,
true. Have you ever in all
your times fighting, did you ever
spar with a guy who was a kung fu guy?
No, never. We didn't have time
for bullshit, so
also I like how that
ninja's out of shape.
Yeah, that's a good point.
That's a good point.
Yeah.
That'd be so bad.
You're exactly the epitome of health there being a ninja.
That's a small axe for a big fucking...
And also, is that a belt or is a sweatshirt wrapped around his waist?
No, those are baggy pants, Brendan.
Tucked in.
Apparently he thinks he lives in the 1500s.
It's a lot of the way behind him, though.
He kind of looks like an Asian Elon Musk.
Yes.
Good call, Kat.
All right, next event.
Okay, so with the NFL returning this fall,
they have found that they are losing way too much money.
I think it was about $3 billion by not having fans watch the games.
So what they're going to do is they're trying to figure out a way to have,
have fans in the arena while the games are happening, while also absolving them from any sort of
liability from them getting COVID if they do contract it at the game. So they're in the works of
creating a COVID waiver for fans to attend in the fall. Good idea. That's a great idea.
Again, leave it up to the fans, let them decide the risk of going to the NFL games, worth it for them to
correct, correct. Leave it up to people to make that decision. I think that's the way to do it.
it, you have to leave it up to individuals to say, that's the way to do it with everything.
When it comes to society, open restaurants, everything, man. Look, we see things like him,
but the death rate's completely down. Brandan, you're speaking like a capitalist and an American.
I know. Are you saying the individuals should have response, take responsibility for themselves?
Brendan. I'm speaking like someone who's going to move the fuck to Texas.
Yeah, man. I mean, that's, that is the fundamental divide, it seems, in the big, great
debate that you're starting to be thrown into Brennan, which is the idea that.
that, you know, part of part of the capitalist system is just as an individual, if you come up with an
idea like thick boy or whatever it might be, and you take a risk and you put your money into it,
you can make money and you benefit from that. Now, it should be noted that you, Brandon,
and myself spend 50% of our day and our year working for someone else. What do I mean by that?
We pay 50% in taxes. So that's fine. That's fine. When so, so, so, so,
Socialists talk about taxing us 70 to 80 percent, anybody who makes a lot of money.
Okay.
How do you justify that?
And do you think that your system, which would be the federal government, to redistribute that wealth,
do you really think that they are the best people do that and make everybody richer?
What happens, why would you penalize people like yourself, we're entrepreneurs who take risk,
who have an imagination, who are willing to work hard and who are smart to, why would you penalize them?
Why would you take 80% of their money?
We know that in most socialist countries, what happens when you do that?
And I'm not speaking.
I'm just saying it's really hard to incentivize people to do that.
Why would I do that and put all that effort if you're going to take 80% of my money?
I already, 50% of my day, let me say it again.
And your day is spent working for someone else.
That's fine.
I'm not out in the street protesting, but how much more do you want on my mind?
Well, not if we move to Texas, be.
We moved to Texas.
Well, that's why a lot of people are moving to Texas, because it doesn't make a lot of
sense, but if you are somebody who benefits, or if you are somebody in government, all due
respect, or in academia, who doesn't, who's not an entrepreneurial, who has a fixed income,
if you're somebody in media, same thing. And you don't know what it's like to run a business.
You've never, you've never had to build a business. You never had to build a brand, which is all
what stand-up is all about, podcasting is all about. How are you going to know what that takes?
How are you going to really appreciate how hard it is then not only to get there,
but how do you want me to be okay with taking 70% of my money after that?
Am I getting penalized for that?
I didn't always have a lot of money, as you know.
And I went through a lot of failure and a lot of people do who are now making money.
So what this system was founded on was the idea that an individual, no matter who you are,
if you have a really good idea and you take a risk,
you might just get lucky enough to make a billion dollars.
okay so that that's something that I think has to be preserved and it's under attack you hear people equating capitalism with racism
and I mean I can get into it but I'm not going to but I mean this is what this is what's under attack and I don't think it's very advantageous to anybody
agree yeah and people get mad at me they're like you're you're becoming this right wing guy no no I'm not I'm not I'm reasonable I just want the best
for everybody, man. That's all.
Trying to figure it out.
All right.
All right.
This is the Western Australian Premier Mark McGowan,
talking about a kid who was rejected from getting into a pub because it is Mollett.
So the premier-
Well, I agree with that.
The premier-
What's that?
No mullets?
No, no racists.
Yeah, I don't trust people with mullets to start with.
So this is like a high governing official, right?
So he's a member of the two House of Parliament for Western Australia.
that's all we need to know about this guy.
So he's actually talking about it at a press conference,
and it's actually pretty funny.
I'll play for you.
Oh, I just encourage people with mullets to rise up
and rebel against these extreme rules,
pubs are imposing.
I think you should be free to have a mullet.
We actually answered it during a press conference, too.
That's so funny.
He's not allowed.
Well, no, I don't think he should be allowed in there with a mullet.
That's a terrible mullet, dude.
Yeah, it's a scragly mull.
At least Theo puts a little effort into it.
God bless him.
God bless that big blonde mullet kid.
All right.
This is in Miami.
And I'll play the video for you first.
So it's actually at the Miami airport,
and it's a cop or slapping a girl.
Oh, and also the guy that posted this is Billy Corbyn.
You're a buddy.
Boy, Billy, yeah.
Oh, you have my brother.
Oh, really sure.
I really should.
You act like that you're black.
You asked my wife, what you want to?
Oh.
So he smacked her, and then they took her down and arrested her.
So apparently this girl, she showed up late at the airport at American Airlines,
and then she started, like, insulting and then also threatening the people that work there.
there and then they told her to go to another airline.
She started threatening more people.
So the cops were called. That guy happens to be,
according to this video, he might be black.
And she was saying, oh, you're acting like you're white,
but you're black. And then she apparently put her head on his chin.
And that's what he did smack at it.
She did. And if you, that's called assault, actually.
If you come out, if you're threatening a police officer and you put your head
on her chin on his chin like that, you get arrested.
That's considered, you know.
That still doesn't give him a free mask to slap.
the fuck out of a female.
He could have apprehended her and put her
to the ground and arrest her, but you don't have to
slap her. He's like, I agree.
I agree.
You were super pissed off. I don't think
he's going to get in trouble, though, ironically. I think what's
going to happen is he...
I don't know. I mean, I do think that was
totally unnecessary. It would be an excessive
force slapping a female.
Yeah. So he wasn't actually fired at it. There's an
investigation. They said they relieved him in
duty. So he can't, he doesn't have the powers
of a cop anymore, but he's not necessarily
fired him. I don't know what that woman's problem
was. She was obviously threatening. They're going to
go into her history too.
She's not like, you know, you're just being
nasty to a police officer.
He sucks, too. They both suck.
Yeah. You can't be hit and be like
your cop or your ringers and say. You can't do
that. I agree.
It's probably not a good idea, you know.
She can't take a hit though.
Yes, you can't.
Oh, this is, I thought was awesome.
So this LA City Councilman, he's talking about developing a department that's not like the cops.
They don't have weapons, but they're like social workers or people that understand, you know, mental illnesses to go to nonviolent crimes or nonviolent groups, right?
So I'll play this real quick for you.
We're looking at nonviolent situations where we can send unarmed, trained,
people to address those concerns. What we're talking about is trying to provide the most efficient
service to this city that we can provide. And that's going to take shifting resources. I, however,
believe that if you have a police department that's focused on police-related matters, you have
quicker response time, and I think you'll get better service. When you're talking about mental
health issues like you referenced earlier, who better to be the first on the scene than a mental
health professional or social worker, individuals that know how to reach and to communicate
with people? What do you guys think? I don't know. My area of expertise seems to make sense.
I don't know.
It makes sense.
And it also seems like it might de-escalate the situation.
Like if you have a guy come up,
these cops who are used to dealing with murders
and criminals and violent, you know, offenders,
if you have someone come up who has, you know,
no gun or nothing like that,
they're just trying to de-escalate something
and figure out a solution to the problem.
It makes sense.
More so than I think a cop who's, you know,
there to really, you know, take care of some dangerous situation.
Well, this is the positive thing.
I think of the protests and George Floyd and all that,
where now as Americans, we start,
we start being more surgical about how we approach law enforcement and problems, right?
And so in that sense, I think it's pretty cool.
Like now you're able to see kind of like how,
how there's nuance and there's details, you know,
involved in what they mean by defunding the police
or rearranging a police department.
Maybe mental health professionals are way better in this situation.
Maybe cops don't even want to deal with that.
They want to stop real crime.
So that's a good, that's a good, intelligent suggestion.
Again, that's why I get encouraged.
Right now, there are these protests and people are really upset.
And things are, as Americans always do, we swing all the way right, all the way left, all
the way to one direction or another.
But then, you know, as these things get opened up for debate, we have to get to the level
of detail and legislation.
Now we start getting a little bit more.
Most people are sensible.
and we get a little bit more detailed.
Now, now it's like, all right,
we're not talking about getting rid of the whole police department.
Like Minnesota, Minneapolis,
trying to get rid of their fucking police department
with the city council.
I mean, good luck.
I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
You want to get rid of, I mean, you know.
Look, yeah, look at the crime rate there right now,
but then also look at New York,
who defunded, I think, a billion dollars in it.
It's never been higher crime.
It's not even that.
It's not even that.
It's not even that.
DeBlasio is not behind his police force.
I know.
DeBlasio hates his police force.
So when,
when the,
fucking police feel like their mayor isn't behind them.
They don't want to fucking get in trouble.
They don't, they get resentful.
And they're like, this motherfucker doesn't know the first thing about policing, which he doesn't.
So what happens is shootings are up, some crazy amount.
Crime is everywhere.
And now New York very quickly goes back to what it was when I was there in the 80s.
Dangerous, 70s, 90s and age.
When you were there in 40, it was terrible.
De Blasio's, you know, good luck with that.
That's a gamble.
Did you see what it's happening in Atlanta?
they stopped answering calls.
The police stopped.
What happened in Baltimore?
Homicide,
homicide rates came up,
I think, 65%.
Because the police get terrified.
They get terrified.
And also the police are like,
oh, we're the enemy,
we're public enemy number one.
The majority of them are good people.
They're like,
oh, you want to treat us like shit?
Watch what happens, man.
Well, in Baltimore,
the majority of them are black.
The huge part of the police commissioner,
the police chief is black.
The,
the guy under him is black.
The person under him is black.
The city council was primarily black.
So, you know, even in that city, they were like, I don't want to get in trouble for this.
Yeah.
So fourth of July is just down the corner.
And there's this public service announcement from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
And this video is supposed to make you not want to use fireworks.
But to everyone that's watching it, it just makes them want to do fireworks even more.
So I'll play it for you.
And you have this music in the background, too, that's fun.
What happened there?
It's just everything exploding.
People get their hands blown off and head's going off.
Yeah, that's bad.
Yeah, it's not good for your head.
Jesus Christ.
Boom.
Yeah, that's not good.
this is awesome
Jesus Christ
one of those fireworks
big one
sorry my corona
mine's fake
he is
are fireworks band in every state
right now
or is it just California
we can't have any fun
it'd be great if Chin's
search history popped up
and it's just like all like
scat babes
Bukaki videos
fighting dead bodies.
It says only Massachusetts bans the sale of it and use of it.
And then two states, Illinois and Vermont permit the sale and use only wire or wood stick sparklers and other novelties.
Weird.
I thought it was way more.
So I guess we're the only state that says we can't have them.
Well, we can actually buy them.
We just can't do it in certain cities.
All right.
How is this work?
And how is our Zoom podcast work?
Pretty well, right?
Before it's okay, yeah.
It's not too bad.
I mean, obviously, I'm an audio guy, so this is kind of frustrating, but, oh, well, it still works.
Yeah.
You want another one?
Yeah.
All right, let's see.
All right, do you guys know who Lily Reinhardt is?
No.
Neither do I, but she came to a character in Riverdale.
She's a really hot girl, and she used an image of herself to bring attention to Breonna Taylor's murder.
and then it was her using side group.
So this is what she wrote.
That's fucking hilarious.
Hold on.
Now that my side was gotten your attention,
Vanita Taylor's murder.
That's hilarious.
I'm not being arrested.
So of course,
that she's using herself
to promote herself for this, you know.
And people are pissed?
Yeah.
So she apologized and deleted it too.
Yeah?
She tried very hard to be honest on my IGTV
that I'm still learning
trying to be better by her.
I'm still trying to be better.
My catch came off as tone deaf.
I truly had good intentions.
I don't think, though.
Yeah, I didn't view it as incentive.
I think people are like, oh, look at the titty.
They see, you know, she's like, you know,
because that's what's going to draw people's attention.
She would have posted a picture of Brianna Taylor.
It wouldn't have got nowhere near as much as attention.
So I think that was her thinking behind it.
You do see how it's kind of self-serving to, though, a little bit?
Well, she's an actress, so I don't care.
Also, she's a super.
Hey, Brian, thanks a lot.
Thanks a lot for standing up for.
black. That's her.
Yeah. She's hot.
She's not. She also reminded
the actress that passed away. She was in the M&M movie.
Do you remember what I'm talking?
Rennie Murphy. Wait.
Yes. Yeah. But let me get, wait. Can I ask you a question?
Chair, let me guess. Lily Reinhardt is not
into racism and she doesn't like
the killing of innocent black people. Is that what she's
I just want to know? Yeah, for sure.
Oh, okay, good. Well, listen, I
I used to be pro that, but now that Lily has posted that,
I now have realized the error of my way.
So thank you, Lily, for making a difference.
Yeah, true.
Thanks a lot.
Appreciate it.
You're making a big difference.
Lily, do me a favor.
How is Chicago going?
Can you go fix that to him?
Maybe a boot picture will fix it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, go there and see what they say in the hood there
because they need your health as well.
Give us one more, Chin.
Give us your best one.
I think this is the last one.
Hopefully this plays.
By there is.
Check out these bear.
climbing out of a well.
That's a model.
That's so funny.
So what happens is they were trapped under there.
So wildlife officials, the Department of Game,
Wildlife and Fish or whatever you call it,
they put a ladder there and then they were able to figure out
how to climb that ladder from the well and go out.
And they're the Cubs.
They climbed out too.
All of them figured out.
That's in Monrovia.
Well, you got to get out of there.
That's whenever I have bears in my well.
whenever I'm like this water tastes so fucking berry
my water's super
briefly
I go man

Nope.
Joanna got her test result back.
She was texting me she doesn't have it.
How weird is that?
Oh, wow.
I know.
I got to tell you,

Hold on.
