Yes, we did. Because we back at it again. It's the fighter and the kid. This is really the fighter and the kid. Yeah, Donnie's your buddy now. He's barking earlier. We got the great Jeff Dye. What a great cowboy Jeff Dye.

Team player Jeff Dye. Let me tell you what. We're talking about Jeff out of a vasectomy, dude. And I was telling you, you'd be a great dad. Dude, you as a baseball dad. Oh, you think you like baseball? You think you like baseball now? Listen, dude, I didn't give two flying fucks about baseball. Yeah. And my son got into baseball. I'm obsessed with baseball. It's the best, isn't it? Bro,

there's so many things about it. My Friday, Saturday, Sunday, when he has a tournament, bro, you would go, you would be the ultimate dad. Yeah. The ultimate dad. I'd also be like, let's just spend the money, make him the best. Like, let's get the bet. What's the new bet? We got that? Oh, dude, a coach. There'll be like, there's this new pitching coach in town. I'm like, isn't he good?

And they're like, yeah, he's good. And I'm like, how much? Like 170 bucks for 30 minutes. I'm like, done. Done. Here's 10 lessons. It's also just so fun. I'm like, you got the money?

I'm like, I don't know. I saw this guy, this expert on Instagram, talking to Adam Grant, who's a youngest professor in Wharton's history and really smart guy. And he said, all the data suggests that children make parents less happy. And I was like, who are you talking to?

Children make less happy. I was like, what? He goes, yeah. Oh yeah, who took that survey? Who took that survey? Also, what does he mean by happy? How do you even measure happy? You know what I'm telling you?

Like what would I be doing if I didn't have kids and I didn't have people whose happiness was more important than my own? Like what would I be doing? Eating out more, hanging out more? No thanks, man. Also, not to sound like I know what the, like I'm enlightened or anything,

because trust me, I'm not, but what is happy? Like, the point of life is not to be happy. God's not calling you to be pious. The point of life is meaning. You're supposed to have purpose. If you want to be happy, just get high and just sit around and eat.

Kids give you purpose. If you want to be happy, just jerk off and smoke weed all day. Once I have kids, I stop caring about so much shit. Notice I don't go on other pods. People are like, man, this would be really good for you. I don't do it. Yeah.

I'm like, oh, good. You know, I didn't like Deleia until he had kids. Watching Deleia become a dad was the most beautiful change ever. And it's not like I hated Deleia. It's just we were cut from different cloth. We're not the same guy. Completely different. But then being humbled, he got very much humbled by the industry

and getting in trouble. And then he had two children and he's a totally different guy. He's still autistic but he's actually a good autistic. I called him up after seeing that special and seeing him talk about his dad's and stuff and then seeing him with his two kids oh yeah how much he loves him and you know I said to him I said Chris I know you've been through first of all Let me just state this because you said it too. He was accused of something and that he didn't do that He didn't do okay And if you have a trouble with that take a look at the FBI and everybody else who investigated any Notion that he had anything to do with anybody underage, okay?

That's a fucking lie. Yeah, 100%. He's guilty of being an asshole. He was, sure, sure. A womanizer, all that stuff. We warned him how many times. Great. But what stuck was this myth that somehow he was a pedophile.

Well, it's fun to tear things down, and that's what people like to do. But you can't jump on the other stuff. You can on oh, he fucked all these hot girls, right? Well, that was the funniest thing to me about that documentary that mean that which wasn't a documentary was a hit piece Yeah, and in the hit piece there like I'm watching I go. Alright, let's see what my boy did here Like oh, let's see how where I fall on this, you know, I'm gonna be reasonable I'm gonna be honest and I'm watching it and're like, he had a girl come to his room and suck his dick, and then he told her to leave, and I'm like, wait, where's the crimes here?

Let's get to the crimes. I mean, he's not romantic, I guess. You know, he's not. If you were ever at the Comedy Store, and you can attest to that, if you were at the Comedy Store back in the day, when you saw eight women at a time in groups would come to do that for him,

eight women were like fighting over, like Rogan and I used to talk about it, I was like, I've never seen women throw themselves on that level. But you and I used to always tell him like, but you don't hang out with me much, that's the problem. Well, you're a very handsome kid, you're a handsome kid, but at the height of his powers, they were,

I've never seen anything like him. Never. And I, but I warned him, I warned him, I would always say, dude, you're, I would say you like him. Never. Yeah. And I, but I warned him. I warned him. I would always say, dude, you're... I would say you warned him a hundred times. A hundred times. Like every night you would close on that.

I'd be like... Like every night, you know, it's two in the morning, you're like, Chris, I'm telling you, dude, you gotta tighten up. These girls are gonna start talking. I'm telling you, it's not good. Tighten up the shit. Too many girls are upset with you. What a problem, huh?

Too many girls. Too many girls. Because they like you and then, you know. But what I'm saying is that I called them. That's such a funny warning Callens gave them. Hey, you better figure out something. You got too much money. But I called them up after I saw that special. All this joy you're having.

You find a way to manage it. That's what happens. People in the comic store are laughing a little too hard, Chris. Be careful. Yeah, crushing roots. You could be a king, but don't be too much of a king. I would say now that Chris went through all that,

and he has a family, I said to him, I said, because I know he is, I said, I know this is a crazy thing to say, but it was worth it. Like, I'm talking spiritually, morally. I'm saying- I think for him as a person- It created a better person. If you ever hung out with Chris and you've done that more than anyone, you've known him

longer, but me and Chris do a show together, it was always hard to connect with him on a personal, it was always superficial, shoes, him on a like a personal it was always superficial Shoes cars like always change all that comedy comedy comedy. Yeah, and then and there's always bitch like I didn't have kids Yeah, and now he's actually a human being so autistic. I'm gonna emphasize on that. But yeah Chris is great Yeah, I would my experience with Chris was always at the clubs. I was I was just older so I wasn't gonna go out I wasn't hanging out with him, you know outside of the Comedy Store or wherever but but I just doesn't hang I had a podcast with a Chris goes coffee. Yeah. Yeah, he's either home Yeah drinking iced coffee staring at the wall

You know what I hate most about Chris back in the day most of everything is he found identity and like not liking sports Yeah, and I was like same. Why are you making it your thing? I don't like sports and I would even though we didn't even like really get along your side Whatever, I would still reply to his tweets like ooh, you don't like sports real cool We go go to sport But now I'm getting him into sports Really watching basketball. I called him from WrestleMania. No, I was like, I had WrestleMania. He goes, Oh, back in the day we were doing a 10 minute podcast and he was

going bad on sports and it was the first time that he or any of us had seen like a massive internet sort of back when people were emailing and saying, you know, you're a dig. You did. I mean, really coming down and making fun of sports. I hated it. I was leading that charge. The next, the next, the next podcast, Chris said, um, Hey, let me just take a I mean really coming down on him making fun of sports. I hated it. I was leading that charge. I didn't like it either.

The next podcast Chris said, hey, let me just take a minute. This is important. I made fun of sports. I got a lot of shit for it. I didn't realize the kind of feelings it would evoke. I didn't realize the kind of tidal wave of emails that we've gotten as a podcast. I didn't realize that I offended so many people because sports are part of the American experience, part of being an American.

Uh, it brings out the best in people. Sports rules. And I had it explained to me on such a deep level. And I just want to say from the bottom of my heart to all of the people to eat a red dick, eat a big red dick. We were like, please stop saying red dick. Well, I think the crazy part about it was like, I was with some people in this suite at WrestleMania

and they were like huge Leia fans. And I was like, hey, he's like my friend. And they're like, no, I swear to God, I could call him right now if you want. I love to do that, I love to do that by the way. Because people, my life has been so fun and blessed that often I'll tell a story and if I don't show a picture to prove it, people are like, he's making this up.

So I was like, I'll call Chris right now. And they're like, all right. And the guy, but before I called him, they were like, you know that bit that he does where they were like, if you wear another man's shirt with his name on it, he should be able to fuck you in the ass. And I completely ruined their moment of telling Chris's bit because they go, I fucking hate that bit.

And they were like, no, but you've heard it. I go, I've heard it. I hate that fucking bit. I love sports. I wear jerseys. No humor about that. It's homophobic. I was literally mad about it.

Still, even just hearing them tell the bit, I go, no, not going to give it to you. He did jujitsu for six years. I guarantee everybody could tap him. Yeah. He I get a six years every day I just never got he's not competitive he's not you know he's been working out he's good he's getting there I know he's getting there strong he's getting there anyways I love Dilea dude you I don't like this sports Jeff you would love this I'm gonna tell you this the other day I haven't missed a Dodger game this year whoo

really a real baseball fan. Because Tiger Watches? Loves them. Yeah. And they're fun to watch. They're pro. It's an All-Star game. They've made a, they've made a, I literally- The best pitch in ever.

What'd I tweet? I said, this year the All-Star game is going to be the American League All-Stars versus the Dodgers. That's all it's going to be. Did I tell you I stood in a bullpen when these guys in spring training, the Yankees guys? I did, yeah. I think I was here like that week. It was nuts. It was nuts to see that.

Yeah, I love watching him. I love Freddie Freeman. Love Freddie Freeman. Have you ever been in the box when someone's throwing like 90? No. It's nuts. So I played at a community college level.

And we had- You were what position, Jeff? I played shortstop. Oh wow. Yeah, which I was like the tallest shortstop ever. So you must have been good, yeah. And so I stood in the box. It was the first time I ever saw-

So just for Brian, so short stops, usually like the speed. You got to have speed. But also like. Good glove. Good glove. The best athlete. I always say that I'm like, I was like Ray Rodorne. I was like Ray Rodorne.

Like I would go 0 for 4, but catch anything. They'd be like, we need him in the field, but this fucker can't hit. So I, but it was, so one time we pitched or we faced a guy who could throw in the nineties and you know, I've always been the silly guy. So when I saw the first pitch, I looked back and then all the parents and girlfriends and shit, like we're laughing. Cause I just looked back like, I don't know, you know, and then, um, the next, uh, the next pitch comes in. I mean, I've never even heard a catcher's mitt make that sound.

And I was like, and so I made some noise and everyone laughs behind me. And then the third pitch comes in, another fastball, three straight fastballs. And I just struck out looking. I walked back to the dugout and I went like this to all the people in the stands. I was like, I don't know, what's going on with this? He loves you. And I walked back to the stands and I go, I just was like, I don't know why, I can't see it, how How am I gonna hit it? Got a big laugh. I go in the dugout, coach yelled at me. He goes, you fucking making jokes. Everyone's laughing.

This pitcher, you just juiced up his. He goes, also you can't swing. Just if you think you're distracted, at least go down swinging. And I was like, dude, I couldn't fucking see the ball. And I knew it was over. That's how I knew it was over for me. I sat in a box where the ball came at 100 miles an hour. Yeah.

And that was, you have to start your swing. Sure. Literally. Yeah, your load's over. But also, when I was there with those Yankees guys, one of the guys is a starter now, just standing there while they threw change-ups and curveballs and fucking fastballs. It's amazing.

Unbelievable. It's very, very hard to hit that ball. No, you're like this. So Tigers, they were all major teams. Fast it's amazing. Yeah, it's very very hard to hit that. No, you're like this. So we Tigers They were all major teams So it's like the top level like little league teams playing these all Hispanic kids and big white kids from the valley And there's this pitcher and he's 10. He's taller and just throwing fucking he probably Price 60 which most of us feel like you Tiger and throw like 50s, which is great

That's it. He's insane. I throw 50s now. Yeah, that's sit. Yes. He throws 50s this dude's doing 60s Yeah, no one said it no one's in it this I won't say the dad's name the kid gets up and he's not even close Then dad goes, oh, come on. I Just looked on it. You hit it. Yeah, you try hitting it, right? You're putting all this pressure You don't think there's already enough pressure on the kid. Yeah, you try hitting it right you put all this pressure. You don't think there's already Enough pressure on the kid. Yeah, you try hitting that fucking ball, dude. You know hard that is he did that too Yeah, he goes come on. I'm like, oh Buddy, yeah, you fucking go

Let me see you try feeling the ball once come out you like that. No, shut the fuck up Yeah, they're kids too. So it's the other nine. Yeah, get a give him a break, dude You would be such a good baseball I would love to be a baseball dad. Great. I uh, my dad was a terrible baseball dad I was giving advice like swing harder. You're like, that's not good advice swing I said UFC when when coaches are sometimes really bad. They're like you got to make sure punch stuff get them out there You're like, hey, there's not much you can do There's not much you can do maybe like I don't, there's not much you can do. Maybe like, I

don't know. He's winning that corner. Boxing coaches are really detailed, right? They'll be like, you see how he's catching that, that jab. You got to win the corner. You kind of already know what you're doing, but I feel like a lot of these things with baseball, martial arts, or any of the things is like a lot of the battles done when you're not playing a hundred percent. It's like mental how, how you're preparing, how you're practicing practicing like when you're alone in your mind like all right how we got it like all

that stuff and my son gets mad when he strikes out like he went one for three and was like so mad like ruined his day when santa barbara he's all pissed off and there's a the dodgers playing the the texas rangers there's a guy in the texas rangers brian who's O for 58. There's slumps and then there's fucking slumps. But I, well, I can't believe they let him write this fucking slump out. Who is it? I forget his name, but he used to be on the Dodgers. But apparently he's a great clubhouse guy.

He's like a leader. What does that mean? He has a great glove, like he's great for the team. He's like a leader, great glove, good clubhouse guy and there so they're allowed him to ride it out But I told T I'm like dude, I think of the you're in the pros on TV. Yeah, he is not 8 at bats, dude. Yeah, you seem pouting and When that's another thing here's how hard baseball is if you can hit the ball 3 out of ten times you're one of the

best baseball players ever but if you hit the ball two out of ten times you're you can't play shit that's how hard it is though this is the problem this is the problem because I coached the little league team some of the parents some of the coaches say if you just get three out of ten you're in the Hall of Fame I go no no yeah at this level if you're not eight out of 10, you're in the hall of fame. I'll go, no, no, no. Yeah. At this level, if you're not eight out of 10, you probably should go do something. Yeah. And then they're all, they should be dominant. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I'm like that three for 10 is at the professional level here. Yeah. You bitches, baby. Getting hit. Right. Yeah.

Yeah. Exactly. They're throwing 10 miles an hour. 100%. All right, kids, let's take a little break here. The next giveaway is live this Thursday, May 1st. It the ultimate giveaway the one truck.

His nephews play baseball, but they're little, very little, like five and seven, I think. And so, like, when you're buying equipment for your kids, you're like, well, he'll grow into that bat, you know you know but like now the bats just too heavy for him So he's striking out left and right, but it's because the bats too big

But the parents you know they don't got scratch like you guys they're going like well I can't just get him a bad every three months secret out. Yeah, so they're like we got him a big bad Too big of cleats grow into those cleats. He'll grow into it. I remember those days. He'll grow into them. That'll be fine. Who cares? I know. But the whole thing, I've never seen it in any other sport. No other sport.

The whole baseball, everyone warned me, baseball dads, I've never experienced it. Really? Now I'm in it. Dude, you've, I'm talking, they're calling the coach. Oh yeah. They're talking the coach. Come on. You know what it is? It's a dad who's trying to express his love, right? Is it a clumsy way? No, it's a dad that's never played sports and wants so much for his son Yeah, and so the sons whatever is isn't batting well and he goes from hitting first to eight

furious Whenever a dad or a mom acts like as young people would say out of pocket We go, but that's just a mother's love. No, that's just a father's love. You go. No, that's a bad behavior You know what I said? I was coaching this football team and this kid He's just not very good is what it is and the mom comes up to me during the game goes Why isn't he playing quarterback? Excuse me. She was why is he playing quarterback? You can't throw and she goes go, he can't throw.

And she goes, yeah, he can. He throws in the backyard. I goes, does he? She goes, he throws in the backyard to his brother all the time. He's a fantastic quarterback. I went, I'll tell you what I'm going to do. Maybe this will help you out.

He'll start the second half. I'll put him at quarterback. If it doesn't go well, no more complaints. She goes, deal. I go, cool. You know, started the half. But now she thought he did great. No, she knew. Oh, she knew? Oh, good the half. But now she thought he did great. No, she knew. Oh, she knew. Oh, good, good, good.

Right, hey! Fuck you. Yeah. Terrible. What? Nice of you. I pulled him out. I look, I go, we good? That's great. Are we good now? That's so funny. Can we go back to the schedule and program?

My son, I watch him in Jiu Jitsu, right? And I love watching him. Cause my favorite thing about my son is he just goes to me the other day. He goes, I love Jiu-Jitsu so much. And I was like, that's all I care about. Have a good time. You're not going to be. Here's the weird thing about fighting, in my opinion.

Sports were like invented, right? To keep these boys, maybe teach them some teamwork, teach them some discipline, teach them how to like, get along with each other, make sure they're not out fighting in the streets. And they go, hey, you boys, we need you to quit fighting and causing a muck. Get into sports, all right? You can play baseball, football, or you can fight. And they go, what?

Yeah. We can fight? He's one of them? Yeah, come fight each other. That's the same. Yeah. Well, jujitsu's a little different. I guess you do teach them some rules and stuff.

Yeah, jujitsu's different than boxing. It's different. It's actually almost a different culture. Like a boxing gym and a Jiu-Jitsu place. It's a different culture, still not a team thing. No. I would never advise put your son just in straight Jiu-Jitsu. We had a guy at our school, Cameron Rupp,

shout out to Cameron Rupp. His dad was an animal who would make his brother, Garrett, and him, Cameron fist fight in the house and shit. Like it was just crazy and all it taught them was that they could beat the fuck out of us at school they just went to school with this new confidence like now we'll just beat the shit out of everybody is so afraid of Cameron he could have done anything to us we're like we got to just wear this you can fight yeah that's not

fun dude you're one of the guys to switch subjects you're one of the guys I think out of all this like cancel culture and pronouns and all this bullshit Who's actually coming out of this like bigger than ever? Well, we've always said like how's Jeff not the guy house Jeff and there's nothing anybody can do It's just it the the general public has go. He is good Yeah, and then you see it was like a slow boil because you've been doing over 20 years I think what happens is a slow boil then yeah, cuz you don't bullshit like you speak the truth So I think people like that's our guy really funny

Well, but he's over but the point is he's always been funny. Yeah, you've been funny for fucking 15 years. Well, thank you very much It's very nice finally they got on board I and I think it took all this crazy left this shit pronouns all that bullshit And they're going all at least this feel refresh someone could pronouns all that bullshit and they're going oh at least this feels maybe someone could explain all of that to us and I was like I was already explaining that this was bullshit I've been doing this when it wasn't popular to say it's bullshit now we're willing to listen nothing makes you feel crazier than being just a little ahead of something yeah even by a

few months now imagine being a guy who's ten years ahead of his time yeah you know like I mean historically you know the guy who's 10 years ahead of his time. Which, you know, like, I mean, historically, you know, the guy who, um, in, like, he, he had a theory that, like, there might be germs on our hands that we can't see. He was like, oh, maybe there's like something on our hands. Maybe that's where infections are coming from. That was a guy named Levenhook. They put him in a mental institution. Well, he invented the microscope.

What he noticed was he would spit and he'd see these little organisms and he'd spit in the morning. I don't know if this is the same guy, but go ahead. Because Leavenhook was the guy who actually started to isolate and created the ground glass until they created a microscope. There was a guy who literally was like, I have an idea that maybe the reason infection is that he was like, so maybe we should wash our hands before we do these operations.

And they put him in a mental institution long after he died. They're like, that guy was right. And so he went to his death going, maybe I am a crazy person. I just had an idea that there was these invisible things. Now if you said germs aren't real they go you're crazy Yeah So I just think like I happen to be a few months ahead on being like I think this kovat stuff is bullshit Yeah, and I think that generalizing all of straight white guys is called prejudice or bigotry

Yeah, you know you like I have like a circle theory You were doing it when it wasn't safe to do it I didn't save me and mean you demonetize on YouTube Yeah, I'm booking all like all that shit hundred percent So I can see why a lot of people are like, I'm gonna lay low man I was just a little ahead of all that stuff and by only by like months. Yeah, but I did affect me then But now I feel like it's good. It's I feel like there's like a circle thing that happens, too I don't know how to just articulate it really well, but it's like Sometimes the intentions are good, you know, like someone wants to fight sexism

they're like a woman who's like very passionate about the patriarchy and sexism, but then Slowly they become the sexist Yeah Because then they start to hate men and then they start to hate the thing or like you're so against racism that you just slowly Become that's the racist, you know, because you're like so against it. That expression is the revolution eats its young. That's what happens. Anytime there's a revolution, it will eventually eat its young. It'll turn in on itself.

It becomes a circular fire in there. Yeah, it's like a snake eating itself almost. It's like this weird... Snake eating its tail. I don't even know how to explain it, but I think that they were well-intentioned. And then eventually they get to a place where they're like places like wait how did I end up with all my hair cut off hating men I just wanted to say women are the same because they were presented a model of the world that didn't exist

right also presented a bite that the problem with woke culture is it's reductive it's me it's it's like good guys bad guys power powerless oppressor oppressed predator prey right and they break it down into the most rudimentary things. It was also run. They also need an enemy, right? They always need someone to focus on. So it can't be just white male. Now if you're, it can't be enough if you're just not racist,

you have to be anti-racist. Like, what's that even mean? And we're all anti-racists. That was Ibram Kenny, that hustler. But also what happened was, I'm sorry to say this, that, that hustler, but also, it also, what happened was I'm sorry to say this out loud, but it was a lot of women in academia who didn't have children. And they, the theory would go that they still, so

they replaced the, the, the care that they would have for a child with infantilizing the whole thing. So in other words, you're just, you need a safe space. You're, you're upset and all that. We have to be careful. It's good. So it all became about is it fair Yeah, as it cause harm would be but think about they were doing that to make them kind of the it group because they've never Been the eight groups all of a sudden. It's like oh look we need attention now

What's so crazy is like we've made it so complex that we've just lost our basic Chimp your brains. Yes. Like, did you ever think that children would be smarter than grownups? Yeah. Like, literally, if you ask my five-year-old niece, if you said, hey, Kaia, which one of these girls shouldn't be swimming with the other ones? Like, she would nail it on her first try. The one with the rock and balls.

She's five, and she'd be like, oh, the one with the shoulders and the five o'clock shadow. You'd be like, youclock shadow. You nailed it. You got it. You're smarter than every adult I know. That's right. I knew we were living in crazy times when, like I was getting texts when Trump signed that bill saying, you know, men can't participate in women's sports where there's two genders. Everyone's celebrating.

I'm like, how is this even a thing? Right? How is this a thing? But that's another one of those circulatory things. That's how crazy, how is this a fucking thing? Did you see what the UK just did? They passed a law that said your gender is what your

biology was. Do you see this? But here's another one of the circular things. Just like what we were just talking about. It's the same circular thing. Who understands, fights for, and tries to justify every minute of their existence for safe spaces? does trans people right or

Like woke people are always the front lines of talking about safe spaces, right? So how can they not understand that biological women wouldn't feel safe when they're in a locker room or a bath? Wow that they should be understanding. Oh, maybe that is where a woman wants to undress or where a woman wants to go to the bathroom. It's one of the only places women are alone, right? They can't bring a big... What about in jail? What about men in jail? Yeah, so they should understand more than anyone a safe space for biological women. This went too far. But they don't care about their safe space. They go, oh but it's my safe space. They want the attention. There's always like this circular thing, which is what I try to do in my comedy. I have a thing that I did where I'm like,

I'll make fun of trans stuff or LGBT, you know, playfully as jokes. And then I get all these comments that are like people like, oh, he's just doing this because he's gay. You know, Jeff Dye's probably gay, that's why. And I go, if you believe that I'm gay, and that's why I'm doing all these gay jokes, you believe I'm a closeted homosexual,

then why are you being so mean to me? Yeah. If you believe I'm a closeted homosexual then why are you being so mean to me? Yeah, if you think I'm a closet homosexual why I am in a very vulnerable part of my journey Yeah, well, this is some gay on gay crime But you it's cuz it's always so you can always bring it back to them going shit. It is preposterous what we're saying Oh, yeah, cuz it did it lacks logic Yeah, it's wild. It's wild. But anyways, I could talk about that for fucking hours. All day.

But I feel like it's changed a little bit. Like we were talking about like the Shannon Sharp stuff. Oh boy, man. He's in trouble, huh? Is he though? Couldn't have been a worse guy, so that's great. No. I hate Shannon Sharp.

Why? Cuz he sucks. Cuz of Denver Bronco? No, it's not a sports thing. What is it? It's the, um, it's his takes. I disagree with his takes. Because he's not a legal state, but he still doesn't deserve to get falsely accused of some shit.

Well, I don't know if he did it or not. So I don't know. I'll speak to that when the, when the evidence is his takes and all that shit. I'm just saying, I think it's the tides. It's not all the way a hundred percent back Mm-hmm, which changed somewhat because if those allegations that came out, let's say in 2019 He's fired before we even get the news he has been on we've decided part ways of shan sharp We can't be part of this check it out chin. He has it. No, no fired. I want to see it

It's it's always your time to Google it. He hasn't been fired Well, so I guess I guess my I'm asking myself. Why would I say what I just said? No. Fired? I want to see what's going on. He has it. It's a waste of your time at Google. He hasn't been fired. Well, so I guess I'm asking myself, why would I say what I just said? The... Yeah, you were dead serious. Well, and I'll tell you why. He does a lot of the,

this is just to take a black man down, this is just to take a black... We're already going for it. We're already reaching for the black card. Yeah. Immediately. I would suggest... Oh, are you the only one whores go after Shannon?

I don't know. I got some buddies that some whores went after who aren't black guys. This isn't the plight of black men. Yeah. And it seems like just such a pattern. It's so... Oh, he's probably killed ages. Tony Busby came after Jay-Z as well and P. Diddy with a false allegation.

Jay-Z now suing Tony Tony Crosby. So that's kind of what he was saying. Wouldn't you argue it happens to men, Brian? In general, yes. Why are you bringing race into this? I'm with him. It's not a race thing. It's a famous thing. Yes, it's money. You'd say these are just gold diggers coming for rich famous guys. Horrors only target black guys. Give me a brand. Because the two women that went after Jay-z and did he were black So I know me makes I think that's what he was just saying to he was trying to shame Tony Busby into that's why they took

Delia down because he's a black man. That's right. That's right. So I that's that's my hesitation towards it It's like to immediately go to that right and and like whole- I think they're scrambling this whole- I think it's whatever I can do to get the black people on my side, the men on my side. It's such trash. What box do I gotta check? I think that's what it is. That's an easy cherry to pick.

Well the gay community should defend him. He's always dressing like a gay guy. You seen how Shannon Sharpe dresses? Dresses? Dresses? He wears some colorful- His clothes. Colorful sweaters.

Walking around with a tiny poodle, getting mad at people for filming them at an airport. Yeah, Schultz was on his show and goes, Jesus, man, what, do you just go to an alo and get a shopping spree? Yeah. Schultz has a Nazi haircut and he's still like, what are you wearing? I remember when that basketball player was mouthing off to him, Shannon Sharp. Oh, that was that night. He wanted to fight a-

He'll break your neck. That was a Lakers game, right, Jack? Yeah. It was at a Lakers game. And I that was that night. He wanted to fight. He'll break your neck. That was a Lakers game, right? Yeah. It was at a Lakers game. And I went to Jeannie to like gossip about it. I was like, what does Shannon Sharp think he can fight the other team? And Jeannie's a cool Jeannie. And she goes, I loved it.

And I was like, you're the best. She's supporting it. I love it. No, I mean, if Shannon Sharp is being wrongfully accused, I think that that is absolutely terrible and this girl sucks. Yep. But to make it a race thing is just always so predictable That's all yeah, I just think it's the easy so not didn't like it at all. She's upset with it

It's a it's a young white girl. Go made a lot of noise when I was talking to people Okay, yeah, do you like Shannon sharp? I don't care for his opinions either. Oh good Yeah, but when they're on TV, I don't care for his opinions either. Oh good. Yeah, but when they're on TV I don't give a fuck. It's like they have producers like who's gonna go against LeBron? You want the LeBron? Alright, who wants, you know, that's all. I guess the reason I care so much about ESPN is because media has famously become like pro wrestling.

Like Fox News and CNN is a joke. It's not even real like news and now that's leaked into my sports. Now even sports have been politicized and they've been like, Stephen A Smith will just make up things and nobody calls them on it. And when you do call them on it, you must be a racist. Like they've made, like they've brought it all into my sports world. He bring it. What do you mean he makes up things?

Stephen A Smith wrote a book called, um, I don't know what it was. It was an autobiography and he claims like, I made 75 three pointers in a row. No one ever saw it. No one ever heard of it. He was like, I played in this many games. Now I'm not saying I was Jordan or nothing, but I, but I was good. I could shoot. And so then he averaged like two points a game.

No, he averaged. You can't find any stats on there's no evidence. He even played at that. Not an athlete. You see what happens is a very petty guy at ESPN named Jason Whitlock, who I like, but he is very petty and he's got plenty of time and plenty of researchers is like, let's just investigate this book.

Dude, Stephen A Smith lost his mind for like three months because he's like, stop looking into this stuff. You know, he thought he could just make up his itch, but the internet's been around Stephen A Smith's whole life. The internet isn't, it wasn't as big as it is now, but you can find you Lie about playing on a college sports team and so there's all these like photoshopped things the book He started calling him Stephen a myth and like as petty as Jason Whitlock might come off in that

He was right. I mean like Stephen A. Smith just made up a bunch of sports stuff. Wow. And uh. The stuff's referenced it now. Yeah. Okay, okay. And so I just don't like that.

I don't like when media is dishonest. Especially for their own. Well you don't get away with it. Gain. You're gonna get caught in today. They've got away with it for a long time though. Yeah, but too many sleuths now. Too many, like you said, there's a record.

Yeah, but I actually like what LeBron got in his face. Loved that. I did too. And he was like, that was LeBron not coming to me as an athlete, but as a dad. Right. That's why he came after you, you stupid. Maybe I'll comment on his personal life. Do you like Stephen Smith for the most part? No. No? No. I mean, I appreciate the... Who do you like?

In like sports. I like when they... I like the old-school guys who were like funny about it You know like Craig Kilburn. I love Boomer Chris Berman. Craig Kilburn? Yeah, I love Craig Kilburn. Is he still out there doing that? Keith Olbermann and me couldn't be polar opposite couldn't be more of opposites when it comes to politics But I love Keith Olbermann. Yeah, he's great.

I think he's great. I don't have to agree with his politics. He doesn't have to agree with mine. He's great. Yeah, yeah, I agree. Yeah, and I think Keith Olbercht is really good at what he does. Yeah, smart. I love Stuart Scott. Back in the day, he was a fun one. I like all those kind of guys. They were just things for me. You like the original ESPN crew. Dan Patrick, Rich Eisen.

Chris Rose. I'm trying to think of who else is doing it. Oh, Bill Simmons. Amazing. Michael Wilbon. What's up? Michael Wilbon is great. Tony Kornheiser. I love their show. They're baseball heads. Yeah. And also they're just honest. Those are two honest dudes. They're old, no give a fuck. All those guys. I mean, I like most of them. I just find this new era. I don't like to yell. Like, I don't like to start my mornings. I used to put on like first take or whatever it was.

When they're yelling at each other and just like, shut the fuck up. Well, I think that Michael or started like these debates You started thinks if he speaks tenaciously we have to agree with him Yeah, and that comes off as very immature as a writer, right? Just cuz you're shouting doesn't mean yeah He's yeah, he's very also Stephen A Smith has the bill burr thing where it's like you're not allowed to disagree with him You ever talked to bill burr like you're not allowed to disagree cuz he's bill burr Yeah to Bill Burr? Like, you're not allowed to disagree, because he's Bill Burr. Yeah.

He'll be like, who do you think is going to win the Super Bowl? Dianna's like, I don't know. I think the Seahawks. That's the thing with you. You're always, it's always Seahawks with you. You're like, all right, sorry, I just had an opinion here. I guess because you're more famous and have a better career. I have to just listen to you talk to me about it.

He started out, he had a show first was skip Bayless, right? Who? Steven Smith. Yes. Yeah. Oh wait. Yeah, they can't in sharp. No Shannon sharp. No, I thought before No, it was it was skip Bayless and Stephen Smith on first date. That's original first date I didn't know I was being called cold pizza. Yeah Yeah, but and then Steve Smith got skip Bayless his start. Mm-hmm He's he's become very wealthy. Steven, right? Oh yeah.

Oh yeah. I mean, he's, but he's supposed to run for president. Obviously he'll never make a single vote, but the Democrats, who else is going to vote, who else is going to run? No one would want Steven Smith. Pete Budugedge. Come on. But Steven Smith flip flops on his own politics because what happens is when he

starts to get a little honest ESPN Goes hey bud. Yeah, I want to have a little chat. Yeah, we offer Disney ding-dong. Yeah Yeah, he's Here's what I thought I would like about Stephen Smith is he's got a very pro wrestling style about us Like where he's entertaining larger than life in a very very entertaining and very charismatic and and he's got a lot of knows the shit a lot of positives yeah but um I don't like I don't like it cuz no one else is playing the game no one else is wrestling with him he's just him doing this big shtick until he had skips that's why him and

skip were so good and skip left to Fox and made all that skip would fucking give it to him yeah maybe if more people did what he was doing I would be more open to it but it's just he's at such a level now where everyone's kind of, he's their boss. Like so much power where they won't disagree with them anymore. I think that's why the ratings are down because there's no equal anymore. It's like Stephen A Smith, everybody else. I know. And you couldn't find me to be a hypocrite on this because I would love to be more successful and more famous, but it feels like they're more interested in becoming more famous than actually doing the reporting. Like Dan Lebatard became like super successful and now his show is just about like viral

videos and like some sort of gags with Stu Gutz. I'm like, you were supposed to be like the sports guy. I think when nerds get super famous, it is such a bad look. Yeah.

I like those guys. Have you done Rich Isen? No, but I do like Rich Isen. He's also like what I just accused those guys of doing though.

We're like now Rich Isen just is a YouTuber or he's just like, he just has a show, it isn't even sports. Well, they're trying to keep up with the times. Right. No one's watching their TV shows. All of a sudden has Larry David on there. Yeah. And Larry David's like, I don't know, get rid of the kickers. Yeah. He doesn't even know sports very well. Is that it, Brian? No.

No. Stephen A. Myth. We know what you're talking about though It just was like come on bro, cuz he wasn't doing it if you're doing it for a crowd it's great your face fun if you're just coming in and Like I would it's like that that almost the Travis he also calls for maybe the job maybe in the blue right there I mean in the purple sweater. Let's see that. Oh Boy that's a Home Depot in the blue right there. I mean, in the purple sweater, let's see that. Oh boy. That's a Home Depot.

Yeah, I know, why is he in a Home Depot warehouse? You know what, that's not a bad pimp walk. That's not bad, he's just walking in. Lavender suit. He is very confident. I like him. I personally like him, I like the guy. But I don't know enough about sports to have a point of view. Well he'll like call for

people's jobs. Like he'll make things personal. He'll be like, if I'm the Boston Celtics, I fire him tomorrow. I go, don't do that. He has so much power. He'll say those kind of things, you know? Calling out LeBron about basketball? Go ahead. But calling out LeBron as a father, go fuck yourself. Wow, wow. Like that's crazy. But that's fun too, right? That's part of what makes him a firebrand. It's part of why we watch him.

It's part of what got him to the dance. But there's also ratings of him being like anti-LeBron, like that was Skip's whole thing, right? Like anti-LeBron. So LeBron's the most famous athlete in the world. Which is such a symptom of modern times. I don't understand what, I've never understood, you guys know basketball, I've never understood why people can't give it up to LeBron. Because they're dumb. Like we live in the most contrarian society ever. Everybody wants to be a contrarian,

not because it would be a good argument, but because it's just interesting to be the contrarian. So stupid. It's also a way to get ratings big. So if all they do is suck off LeBron, so that's why first take got so big. You had Skip Bayless who despised LeBron. So LeBron would go for 40, but he'd make fun of him because he missed a shot or a three point, missed a dunk. And then Stephen A. Smith loved LeBron, so he'd argue for an hour. So because LeBron's polarizing because he's so fucking good at basketball at his age. He's incredible. The one that, I mean, come on fucking good at basketball at his age. He's incredible. I mean, come on. He's 40 fucking years old. He's scoring more than anyone else in the league.

Yes. Yeah, it's HGH. So you have the entire nation, half the nation hates him, half the nation loves him, so you can get ratings. That's why they do it. Skip Bayless doesn't hate LeBron. No. It's a shtick.

Figure it out. Of course it's a shtick. How can you hate? What true reason do you have to hate LeBron. No. It's a shtick. Figure it out. Of course it's a shtick. How can you hate what, what, what, what true reason do you have to hate LeBron? Yeah. Does he read books? No. Does he fake it? Yes. Yeah.

Is he soft as fuck? Yes. His politics are insane. Wait a minute. Wild. Now we're back to it. What do you mean soft? LeBron? Yeah.

I've been playing since he was 40, since he was 40. I will say this. The game's just different. I'll give you a little. Like he'll get a thing in his eye and he's like... I promise you since he was 40. I will say this. The game's just different. I'll give you a little. Like he'll get a thing in his eye. I promise you. I promise you. If you had put him in back when Jordan was playing and you got rough with that guy.

Jordan would eat his lunch. He'd get rough back and it'd be a problem. Well, and I mean. You wake up that sleeping giant. Here's something I'll give the fans. It's just a different thing. I'll let the fans know they're right. When you complain that LeBron is a baby, I submit.

He is one of the biggest babies in the league. But, if you are going to get, if I'm gonna give you that, you gotta agree, Chris Paul is a bigger baby than LeBron. I wanna hear more Chris Paul is a baby. Luka, who I'm in love with now, cause he's a Laker, is way more of a baby than LeBron. There's so many guys above LeBron as being a baby. Now is LeBron the best?

Yes. But LeBron is the best so he's going to get labeled as the baby. Like that's the... They go flop and he's crying. I'm like yeah but he's like a tenth in the league. But he's also... but that's... but they're also products of the game. Like the entire game. That's what the game is.

It's three-pointered, it's softer. It's not the Pistons defense from the fucking 90s or 80s It's just not that game anymore. These guys will drive that for everything. Yes, and they lie Like in there they'll be like why you didn't call it and they look at the replay wasn't even closed now My boy jokeage doesn't dude does it the most and I love him now cuz he's a Laker But we had a little row joke is not Luca Joe. Oh yeah. Jokic doesn't cry. Does he? Never.

No. Okay. Serbian, bro. He doesn't even talk. Yeah, no, he doesn't want to be out there. He's like, I want to go home and race horses. And they're like- His brother came to my show in Denver.

I've never seen a man that big in my life. And they're bad boys. Because his brother was there, but also Klopp was there. Now Klopp is 6'6", 265. This dude, I was like, there's Klopp. And then I looked over and I was like, well, that guy is- Oh yeah. But also a clop was there now clop is 6 6 to 65. Yeah this dude I was like there's clop and then I looked at my wife. Well that guy You ever seen the photo bring up the photo of Kevin Hart Shack and Yao Ming. Oh Kevin's Kevin's at their dick Yeah, check this out Brian. I love this picture. Yeah Shack Kevin Hart. Yeah

I want to see Luca with his brothers because his brothers I think are bigger and check Look at this picture to just give you some perspective. You know how big Shaq is right? Look at Yao Ming next to Shaq. Just to give you some NBA perspective. And that's not Photoshop, that's an actual photo in the hotel lobby. That is strange. So that like, because Shaq's the biggest human I've ever met, I thought.

And then you look at Yao, it's a kids insane yeah so big yeah yeah I was sure it looks like it's photoshopped cuz there's this Kevin Hart might be photoshopped yeah that's just but that says hi that's just give me reference well I think it's still interesting Kevin Hart to yeah or sorry Shaq to yeah cuz I check is huge huge and y'all so I bet Kevin Hart might be smaller than that thing. Yeah Yeah, I was driving. This is the original photo things. I hate when I'm tricked by the internet Every day that makes sense. No, that's Kevin from red carpet. There's one that in there for Kevin's 454 Like when when when Shaq was dating hoops and she was just right at his dick the entire time

I know they're on dates and she's I would argue anyone Shaq was dating hoops and she was just right at his dick the entire time. I know. They're on dates and she just... I would argue anyone Shaq dates, it's sexual assault. Like, it wouldn't matter how big she is. It's unfair to her. It really is. Even if she wants it, it's unfair to her. Yeah, yeah. He's such a big guy.

Giant. His wife, his first wife was like tiny too. She was tiny by like our standards, let alone Shaq's. But he's probably not into like big girls. I know, but I feel like he has to. That's his burden to bear. But even if she's 5'10", which by our standards, be a big girl, he's like, she's tiny. He should have to date WNBA chicks that are like 6'5". Yeah, there's some pretty ones.

Unbelievable. I bought it for a second. Is he the most dominant center of all time? Who? Shaq? Shaq? In his prime, he's helped out. Yeah, I think so. I think he's number one. So athletic. Is he the most dominant center of all time who? In his prime yeah, I think so. I think I'm rolling Yeah, good run the court because you watch these guys that come down on their legs and you just go fuck well You know you see how athletic is I never saw this blue chips that move

Yeah, where he's running down and Duncan you don't know the movie Yeah, now you can watch that in real life when he was on the Orlando Magic, you old fuck. This is great. You can see him like acrobatically dunking. You can actually watch, not a movie. You're like a beautiful woman I took to coffee who wants to be in the sports conversation. Oh, you seen Blue Chips?

You like Shaq? Shaq, Blue Chip talk. We're talking Shaq, you like Shaq? You want, when I knew he was a good basketball player, the movie Blue chip this morning And any and my buddy Josh are talking about baseball and we're doing something then there's this girl That's at the table with us who was our friend. She goes that's like in water polo. I go. What are you talking? Don't bring in water polo. We're having trying to have talk here about I love you

See you watch Shaq is LSU dates man. It'll blow your fucking brain. Really? Yeah, dude Don't watch blue just skinny was he was so man. It'll blow your fucking brain. Really? Yeah, dude. Don't watch blue chaps. Look at how skinny he was. Look at that. He was so fast. Quick feet for a giant. Yeah, quick feet. Nick Nolte with the bowl cut.

Look at how thin he was back then. Dude, he was unstoppable. Damn. Patrice had him in a joke, too. Patrice said, we call ourselves the world champions in the NBA. We don't play any other country. We just go, we're the world champs, because we're America, we any other country. We just go, we're the world champs because we're America.

We're number one. You forget about you. We're the world champs. And we got shag. Nobody could be shag. So you watch him on his LSU days. He's a fucking lot of time with Anthony Hardaway. Huh?

I didn't know that he went to LSU. Did Anthony go to LSU? No, they played for the magic together. I know, but these are like old pictures that look like they pre-date. Like, what does that say? Western? But Amphirnay, Hardaway was in Blue Chips. Oh, that's why.

Yeah. They're on the set. They're on the set together and they also played the Magic together. Western was from the movie. Okay. Penny Hardaway. Great shoes. Oh man.

Remember Chris Rock's commercials with Little Penny? Yes. They made like a little puppet of Amphirnay Hardaway, but it just talked and sounded and had the vernacular remember Chris Rock's commercials with Little Penny? Yes. They made like a little puppet of Amphorny Hardaway, but it just talked and sounded and had the vernacular of Chris Rock. Yeah, that's weird. He's like, I'm Little Penny. And it was hilarious. It was like the best commercials.

I loved Amphorny. At least Brian knew he was a center, guys. That's right. Yeah, we're making progress. I wasn't being mean to Brian. I love Brian. No, no, I'm not sensitive. I just don't know how to talk about blue chips.

I'm not sensitive to the fact that I don't being mean to Brian. I love Brian. No, no, I'm not sensitive. Just don't know how to talk about blue chips. I'm not sensitive to the fact that I don't know my sports. Well, last time I was on here, you guys had a 50-minute argument about UFC where I didn't say anything. I think it's pretty fair to say, hey, you don't know about blue chips. I don't know about blue chips. Yeah. What's going on? Are you going to shoot a special soon? I'm ready to go. I got another hour ready ready to go. When do you where do you want to shoot it?

I want to shoot it at the La Jolla Comedy Store. I love that place. I love that room and my last special I think I made an error by putting it like in a music venue. It's too big. Yeah Yeah, and so like it's kind of like the audience. Yeah, it's different I wasted too much time worrying about like the right shots and the right cameras and the right lighting and my dumb little jacket I don't care when I should have just worried about the show. Yeah. Yeah, the most important part Yeah, that's the time. I just want to see a three-quarter shot. Maybe who cares? Yeah, people love listen to reels of mine that have terrible audio That's best best especially I've seen a while is Tim Dillon's he shot the mothership just in the main room there. It's just tight

Every club is only like and it's only like 40 minutes. Yeah, it's perfect. Great. It's great. Great. So that's Carnivance sure bud Carnot current events. Oh, they said grimace. Wait, also Jeff. you're a tall dude, so do you, what's the tallest girl you've dated? Uh, that's a good question. Or are you interested in, because I don't like girls. I like tall girls, yeah. Oh, you do. Yeah, I'm into it.

That's a cool thing. I've never had to worry about if they're tall. Yeah, of course. Are you still single, Jeff? Yes. Or is there a little filial? Single boy. Nothing.

I think. Nothing. I want to like, what girl wants to date a guy who's literally on the road all the time. And then when you're not on the road. Oh my boyfriend, I FaceTime him twice a week. How fun is that? Are you constantly on the road? I'm always on the road.

He's always on the road and he's not on the road, he's at Major League stadiums. Right, yeah. I'm always doing some. So she's like, some has to give here dude. I know. Like I got a few more stadiums kid. And I'm like almost, it feels like. So you're gone every weekend.

It feels weird because I've kind of done it to myself in that fashion, also like I don't have to feel guilt about the road. A lot of my friends and peers like they feel guilt about the road they're like they even feel bad about enjoying the road. Of course. They're like well my wife is like I can't make it sound too fun. Yeah. She's at home going well fuck you. But I don't have any guilt on the road I'm just out living having to go. I was at WrestleMania all weekend. I'm like, I can just kind of come and go and do whatever I'd like. So that's the perk of it. It is wildly lonely, but it is also like, at least I don't have any guilt and at least I don't, I'm not leading someone on. It's kind of, kind of free. What do you got, Tim? Another question. Oh yeah.

Since you don't drink anymore, Would you have any vices? Cigars have become a me too Fuck yeah, you're kidding dude. We gotta go Hollywood smoke I'm having like three or three cigars probably a night dude and now that I'm in now that I'm over at the Comedy Store That's such a pro smoking place. Oh, yeah, I was last night. I was I'm gonna literally I'm not exaggerating I was teary-eyed be I was like I'm at the gonna, literally I'm not exaggerating, I was teary-eyed. I was like, I'm at the comedy store, and I'm having a cigar, I'm welcome here, people are being nice, I couldn't believe, this is amazing.

What do you smoke? You gotta, Placencia's my favorite cigar. I was just featured if you type in Placencia cigars, and then put Jeff Dye. Dude, that's my new thing. I'm in Cigar Aficionado magazine this month. Dude, I gotta bring you to.

I got a huge. You got it on the front cover? Jeff Dye and then put like Cigar Aficionado or something. I gotta bring you to Hollywood Smoke, dude. I don't know how to spell aficionado. What do you get your cigars? You know George Janko has a cigar shop. There I am.

In Arizona. But this was in the magazine, so I've been going, cause I know it's not gonna last long. I keep going into the cigar lounge, I'm like you guys got cigar fishing out of it like yeah I go check this out because I know that I'm not gonna be able to do that forever And they're all like holy crap. Yes, it's pretty cool. Oh Wayne Gretzky on there before you bud. Well, no on the cover was Gronk Cuz they only do like four a year or something and so Gronk got the cover

I just have a full page picture. You don't feel like that's a monthly mag. Yeah. Not a lot to talk about. More cigars. Do you like cigars? Me too. Man, I love cigars.

The rumor was your thing about moving to Austin. What's that? You were, are you moving? I was going to move to Austin. Yeah. It's amazing there. Plans put on hold? I love Joe.

I love what they're doing. I love Texas. I love America. I love that you save some money on your taxes that aren't going to like, you know, Iraqi Sesame Street or whatever the fuck our taxes go to now. And so, uh, but I've, I've pushed it back just because the comedy store stuff. Uh, well, no, I mean that newly would be the reason, but also like all the properties shot up in value after the fires. It's kind of a tough time to buy a place out there. Yeah. People are moving to more places. Yeah, and I don't have any interest in selling my

place here. So we're looking at a second property. It's not like, it's not like, I mean. Where's your place here? Sherman Oaks. Yeah, it's nice. I love Sherman Oaks. Yeah, because we're out in May. I know you guys are going. Yeah, Brian's there already. I probably already explained, this might be a repeat for your audience, but what was the decision that made you guys go, we're going? It was what you said to me, to be honest with you. Rogan said after I shot my special, he said, move here, it'll change your career. And then you said, you're just going to become a road comic comic you're just out here isolated you're that guy and that's just on the road and you know the

comics comic like Brian lost his peers I was like you you got to be out in Austin then I said I'm going remember I was like I'm going how'd you convince you what what made you want to go fires okay the fires were at straw he says fires but he wasn't he didn't live anywhere near him but that's a different style yeah I was like I'm done with this, but the fires were right by us in our, we lost power for two weeks and then we couldn't be in the house. And then we have this big gate, like this security gate to get in and out and the gate wouldn't work.

And we had to like rush out and I'm there pulling it and my ears in my face. That's when I cut my hair shorter. So I was pulling it in the wind. My wife looked at me and was like, Oh, we got to get out of here. Yeah. And I was like, really? Cause I was trying to get her out during COVID. I was pulling it in the wind. My wife looked at me and was like, oh, we gotta get out of here. And I was like, really? Because I was trying to get her out during COVID. I was like, you're down? She said, I'm down. Put the house for sale like a week later and boom.

Off to the races. Yeah, those fires were a real eye opening. I was telling everyone, I was like, you thought I was annoying about politics before. Now they fucking set all my friend's houses on fire and then acted like, oh, don't worry, we'll rebuild. Like, dude.

And then it talked to insurance companies. Like you can only insure you for three minutes. Like the house is worth a lot more than that. It's so I'd be on the hook for the rest. They're like, correct. I'm like, I'm out. I would love. I wouldn't love it, but I would be interested to see how optimistic Gavin

Newsom was if it was his house on fire. Correct. Because this whole like, guys, you know, let's, everyone get like, you're getting carried away. It's like, no, no, we're not getting carried away. Losing your entire home. Dude, let me tell you. Is a pretty big deal.

All your money's in it. I just had the guy on the Santa Monica coalition, he's a business owner. He's the guy who was telling me about what's really going on in Los Angeles politics. We all lay it down at, yes, at Gavin Newsom. Let me tell you something what happens when you're Gavin Newsom. You want to do any kind of a project, you'll be litigated every step of the way. And you ain't doing shit without the city council. You want to make a change in this city?

The Santa Monica City Council and the LA City Council has socialists on it. They're not even Democrats, they're socialists. And they are anti-growth. Gavin Newsom will tell you that. They're anti-growth. And they look at the homeless problem as, let me give you a couple of stats. It's not just a positive. They look at it as a housing issue when it's an addiction mental health issue without a question. On top of the look at it as a housing issue, when it's an addiction mental health issue without a question. On top of the fact that the kind of service they give, like Barbara Ferreira, you know that fucking, the woman had us all in masks?

Yeah. Who looks like a white walker? Yeah. She's got this needle exchange program. So in Santa Monica, we not only have, we give them checks, we give them places to shelter up, we let them camp out even though it's a violation of the law they just passed. Wait, are you trying to tell us who some dozen saw?

And, well, no, and all of these needles exchanges. All of those, all of that shit is basically deliberate. And so what happens is 95% of our homeless issue are transients from out of state. They're not living here. They come from other places. They come to the beach. They want to come here because it's safe, but also the weather. All of that.

So in Santa Monica, the end. So check this out. In Santa Monica, the mall, that 33 Promenade mall on the far end, 75% vacancy. The entire 33 Promenade, which used to be the fucking greatest place, they're renting by month month and people are leaving. There are more fires. There are seven overdoses a day.

Seven overdoses a day in MacArthur Park and there are five overdoses a day in Reid Park. So it is an outrage and every one of these assholes on the city council who's a socialist thinks there's no problem. Karen Bass is a proud Marxist and she said it. The worst. So that's not even a slander, that's what she calls herself. Also, they lost $23 billion for homeless people just in California. Yeah, but nothing's going to change.

We can talk all we want. Nothing's going to change until people start voting for their city council. But how, Brian? You get involved in city politics. You can't find any information about these people. That's the problem. So you try to look up the person who just goes to their website. I know.

You think on their website they're talking about how they're socialists or anything? Well now they're changing. Now America, so there's also a coalition of 5,000 people. You can't even get people to vote for president. How are you going to get them to get involved in city council? The point is that getting involved in city politics is going to affect your life way more than voting for a president. Yeah, but it's way more complicated. Yeah, 77,000 eligible voters in Santa Monica, 20,000 voted for city council

members. Yeah. And that's not good enough. And most of these chimps just go, I vote for red or blue. They're not looking into it. They don't look into it. There's no way to look into it. It's too hard to find. But there's a coalition of business people who are so done and they are forcing resignations. Dude, the deputy mayor of our city, Los Angeles, the deputy mayor under Karen Bass is being investigated by the FBI for making a bomb threat.

If you worked at Starbucks and your till was short by $23 and they said, why is your till short for 20 by $23? And you said, I don't know, I lost it. You know, I don't know.

You would get written up. And if you did it more than once, you would be fired. They lost 23 billion dollars just for homeless in California. I don't know. I'm just upset about it as you are. No, you're not. And also-

It's called the homeless industrial complex. That means- There's money in it. They could have given $500,000, if my math is correct, to every homeless person in the state of California, which isn't what they were going to do with the money anyways. But you, so even if even the money you give to fix it doesn't fix it. But there's money in running the homeless infrastructure.

It doesn't go to the homeless people. It goes to the lawyers, goes to all the activists. Goes to everybody else. Yes. Yes. So there's money to it. So until people start voting in actual conservatives who are pro-business I would trust Gavin Newsom with my well Gavin Newsom. I wouldn't let him watch my dog. But seriously

I mean Listen to that guy listen to that guy talk about what it's like to run it and Schwarzenegger said the same thing You don't you don't you have no power as a governor. Good luck He made himself He's like used tax dollars to give himself a bust of his head to put down at the, you know that? Like if you Google that, he literally like in the last few months, while everyone's houses are just in dust, in the Hollywood, which is like the whole point of Hollywood used to be like that's where

show business was ranked. And now all their houses are on fire. And he made a bust of himself so that he'll be remembered. He's realizing they had to talk with him and said, hey, if you don't swing a little right, if you're not Democrat, have you ever fought a fight? No, no, no. No one had to talk with him. No, he looked at his approval rating and he looked at just his overall, he started a

podcast like, I'm going to talk to people on the right. I want to be on that podcast so bad. And Charlie Kirk So bad his ass But it was good for him. I want to be on that podcast so great. I was like, please I'm just a comedian. I don't hope he doesn't look into any of it the best the best of the start of it knew some you know, he's trying to fucking play nice and he can't because he's a reptile and He goes Charlie Kirk. My son's a big fan. It's really? How old are you? He was 12.

It was cool, man. Why didn't he hear? I'd love to meet him. He goes, he's in school. I go, and Charlie Kirk goes, well, you shut schools down for two years. Couldn't have a day off. And Newsom goes, ha ha ha. What I loved about that also is it revealed that Newsom was even lying about that.

Because he was like, yeah, man, my son, he never really gets like that. But like, he was so excited to have you on that I was having you on. It's like, but if he was, then you'd let him, you know, like when Piers Morgan had Jordan B Peterson on his show, his sons were like, that's the one guest. And Piers Morgan made that a verbal like thing to Jordan Peterson being like, my son's never really care about the guests. And I, and you got to meet them before the show because, and it's almost like Gavin Newsom saw that and was like, that was an endearing moment to the guest.

It's all fake. Maybe I'll say that to Charlie Kirk to like put him over. It's all fake. It's all trash. He's just trying to save faith. It's too late. He's fucked. Definitely. But there hasn't been enough blowback on these fires. I know.

Have you gone down Palisades? Do you know that boats are, wait, do you know? I don't know, have you gone on Palisades? Yes. So if you go through Palisades right now, it's one lane, but like a lot of the baseball dads work down there. They do all the construction, they clear in all the houses. Yeah. And so they they're in on it. I go, it'll be back in what? Like three years. And they looked at me and went, Oh buddy, it won't be back to somewhat normal. You're looking 10 years. And by the way, you know how they said they were going to speed up the permit stuff? That's bullshit. That's all gone.

Because of this. That didn't happen. Money. So do you know that not one but two of the reservoirs were empty? Yeah. Even after they knew that State Farm was canceling 60% of their insurance, they like State Farm was like, this is a major fire hazard. The guy I had on my podcast yesterday was talking to Karen Bass.

She was getting on the plane. He goes, don't get on this plane this is such a bad look and she was like no I'm only going for two days because you're going for such a piece of shit yeah she's trash I oh that's another one of those funny things that like how liberals always like the things they claim they hate they eventually end up doing so like when you used to say fake news like when Trump would say fake news you were like a redneck idiot for claiming that there was fake news. And now that's the entire strategy of the left. Even what you just said, the reservoirs were empty. They'd be like, that wasn't real. You're spreading misinformation. It's like it was. We have videos of it.

Both empty and the fire hydrants actually were not working. But the left is in their own tail. They did a whole survey of this left, right, everyone. 90% of Americans don't approve of transgender in sports. They don't. But the left keeps running. They won't give it up. Yeah, well, their whole strategy is now the things they used to hate.

But a lot of that is also the way elections work. You've got to get in nitty gritty. So you have to. You will not get the support of a an important coalition This is the idea which was we won't support you unless you're all in on the transgender thing That's why you'd have Kamala Harris who could give a fuck going yes And I and I and for illegal immigrants in jail they they got gender-affirming care She had to say that otherwise what happens is they come out against you

You don't get the funding. But what's interesting about all of it. You're never going to have power because no one's voting for it. Right. None of it worked. None of it worked. All of Hollywood. Right.

So did you see the Twitch streamer? Now the Democrats are supporting MS 13. Why don't they just fish for truth instead of votes? Yeah, but do you know what the Biden administration was paying? Yeah. They literally paid every Twitch streamer. Of course. They were giving them thousands of dollars to do ads and be pro-bun.

Yeah, I know. And it still didn't work. Liberals used to be anti-war, and now they're warmongers who like literally pick a side in the war and then warmonger for it and call it bullying and call it genocide instead of just saying like,

hey, maybe no war, no war would be good. Well, I have a different point of view on all that. That's a little different. They used to be anti-Big Pharma, and now they're like, hey, take the vaccines, go get the vaccines, and trust Pfizer, and trust Johnson & Johnson. This is really reductive. Big Pharma is really, really important in this country. They push us way beyond our biology and they come up with drugs and therapies that save

lives and especially children's lives all the time and they spend billions of dollars doing it and lose a lot of money. Yeah, but doesn't mean there's not a dark note. It doesn't mean there's not bad to it. It can't be true at the same time. Correct, Brian. Both can be true. But this bashing a big farmer is it is a big deal.

It's silly. You can bash Brian though, and you can see you can bash. You can see you can bash COVID. You need to know. Yes. Right. That's big pharma, Brian. Brian though, and you can Brian you can bash you can say you can bash me need to know yes Right, that's me. I'm a need to know I Shouldn't be filling up your children anytime your your kids have some learning disability or some sort of thing I don't think you get to put a big stupid name on it and then say hey you better be giving your kid these pills You better be giving them this they can't focus

Give them riddling Jeff any kid that can't pay attention, which is just kids. They're high Let's crank them full of big pharma's nonsense. You don't think there's a money movement behind that Yes, but no big pharma also does a lot of good every like every girl in our in our in our stupid city Like her brain turns off if you bring up God or a higher power or anything religious. But yet they talk about their therapist. Like the therapist is the answer to all of life's problems. No, no, I agree with all that. And that's all a product of Big Pharma being God now. No, it's not. It's not. Big Pharma. So if you look at the contribution to things like childhood leukemias, curing

hepatitis C, stem cell therapy and gene therapy, which has been revolutionary in how we deal with cancer. But you can up it to that point too. You can also look to the increase of autism. I'm not even talking about these big things. No you can't. 100%. I'm talking about every vaccine. No, no, Brendan. No, no, no, Brendan, no Brendan, no Brendan Schaub. You cannot. That has been absolutely debunked. 100% debunked from every

good scientist and Mr. Wakefield who went to jail lost his license for, for fudging the MMR vaccine and saying that it caused autism and couldn't replicate anything he did in the lab. And of course then was publicly disgraced, still out there talking. And you've got two deaths, two children who died of measles in Texas. Because people aren't getting vaccine.

Publicly disgraced means nothing. Peter Atiyah, who's a great doctor, any great doctor worth his salt will tell you. Now there is something called vaccine injury, but that doesn't mean you throw the baby out with the bath water. You don't want, you still need to take vaccines. I'm not saying get rid of all vaccines, but they're, what, what can we attribute to the increase of autism? So they're isolating genes.

They're icing a lot of genes. Autism is an umbrella term. There are a thousand factors that go into autism. A thousand factors. That's kind of the problem with it. And so the idea of laying it at vaccines is simply, simply. So you can't even look into it. We've looked into it.

See, you and I, and you, we're all, you know how we're doing, you know what we're doing right now? Pro science. Yeah, and we have to know this. Whether it's Rogan, whether it's you, whether it's me, all of us on podcasts, when we start talking this way, guys. I don't have to be a scientist. Scientists's Rogan, whether it's you, whether it's me, all of us on podcasts, when we start talking this way, guys, I don't have to be a scientist.

Scientists are doing this. Scientists are going. I don't have to be a scientist, Brian, to know that when I watch a baseball game, there's 75 fucking commercials going, ask your doctor if Blacla-clang is great for you. Ask your doctor if Blacla-clang. It's a machine, and they are trying to pump us

full of pills for money instead of teaching us to meditate, exercise, eat well, treat people nicely. They want us to just be medicated fucking idiots. They're even getting in on marijuana. They're teaching your kids to be drug addicts and normalize it. Again, yes, in some cases, eat well, take care of yourself. In other cases, there are very tough diseases out there. Right, and that's good to work on.

But why are they pitching me on dick pills and depression pills and drugs and all these different things? Because they work. Because by the way- Ask your doctor? No, my doctor should be telling me I'm not asking my doctor because because science does help with pain because science does help with depression. Hey B, I think it's their own fault why people lost trust in vaccines and big

pharma. Yes, it's not. It's not. I didn't do anything. Well, you know, it's them lying about like all that legacy media. But now, who is legacy media? That's right, but the way this started was literally me saying that like liberals, hippies, products of son children, free love people, they all used to be like, we don't need anything except each other and like we need to open our minds and like hear each other out and like maybe we should talk instead of shooting each other or maybe we should talk instead of going to war and that's all been thrown out. Now you pick a side in the war and you go well they did this and historically this and they go back a hundred years to find a good argument of why they're slaughtering children

in the streets. Like it's a wrong way to look at things and now just go. I'm just talking about in general picking a side in a war is not what I see I don't think they're picking I think they're they're choosing money overall I think it's just all about money all big Pharma the legacy media I don't all this shit's all about money but I will say this I think there are a lot of people who are just like us who want to get to the truth and do what do well in the world I think money plays a part in a lot of things you promise let's just take the Palestinian Gaza thing man you know and do well in the world. I think money plays a part in a lot of things.

The problem is, let's just take the Palestinian Gaza thing. Man, you know, there was a very interesting debate with Dave Smith and Douglas Murr, because Dave Smith was coming at it, and he made a very good point. Dave was basically saying, I may not be an expert, and this is your point. But you don't have to be to talk about any of this stuff.

But he can say this, he said, but I also don't want to live in a world where the response to children being buried under rubble and dying and being tortured to death. On both sides, by the way. By the thousands. I don't want the response to be, well, that's just the way the world is, right? We all go, man, I wish we do something different. Now remember in the Middle East, there's a great, I always quote this saying by Darrell Cooper, it is a part of the world where people had to forego who they could be for who they had to be. And when you're in a war or you're

in that kind of a situation with that conflict that goes back to when Moses had a part in the ways with the Pharaoh, you know, it's been a brutal part of the world. What's the answer? I don't know, man. No one does. No one does. And here's my problem with it. I haven't heard any good answers. Is that we don't know, these fuckers have been fighting

forever and now a college student holding a Stanley Cup in their tent on the front porch of a million dollar tuition bill is going, here's my take. And it's like, can they both just grow up? You could find 10 reasons why both sides are correct in this war. In almost everywhere. Sometimes I said this to my friend, I go,

sometimes I just find myself shaking my head and saying a prayer. Cause I don't really know the answer, dude. Yeah. I really do that. I'm not saying I know the answer. What I am saying is it's so immature. I don't think Americans should fund these wars.

That's my answer. Somebody somebody else would know right? So the problem is I'm cool No, it's not cool Because what would happen is it would be so much worse in a lot of cases and every time we create a vacuum the problem With politics in geopolitics is when you create a vacuum You will have you will you will be drawn right back into it and that's exactly what happened in the Middle East You might ignore this group called Al Qaeda until they fly planes into your fucking. Or do a 30 year war in Afghanistan, get nothing out of it.

Yeah. But you can do that. We can find Ukraine who's going to lose anyways and keep throwing money at them. Well, Ukraine's a different story too. It's like, you know what I'm saying? Look at all your tax paying money is going to this complete bullshit that has nothing to do with us and it's not going to get fixed. Let's take another little break.

We only intervene for the better of the interest of the politicians.

Right? Well, it's not, it doesn't affect you. No, there's a lot of scholarship that goes into There's a lot of things there are people who are isolationists and there are people said we don't have a choice We've got to get involved and there is a lot of merit to both and if you're sitting there listening to smart people talk About that and in fact cabinet rooms where they have these debates You we'd be scratching our heads because a lot of times it's like we've we we had to deal with Containing Soviet aggression for the better part of the entire That's what they've always pushed us, right? That's what happened. Yeah, it was a real Cold War

but Ukraine I'm not gonna get into it But my whole thing is we're sending all this money all this money overseas all this all this money Oh, how are we doing? We make money? How are we? I know but how are we doing here? But we make money on that right? So you know, that's why I'm saying that's why they're doing it. No, no, no, no. We don't make money. Our economy makes money. So watch this. Yeah, they put money back there. Yeah, no, no. So when we, when so when they say there's so much money, four billion dollars, when they go, we okayed four billion dollars to Ukraine. Do you know why our politicians on both

sides of the aisle are like, you know what that is? It's not just because some people are very anti-Russian. I don't think we should take action. The manufacturing here, they pay is? It's not just because some people are very anti-Russian and think we should take action. The manufacturing here, they pay them, and they send it off. Sure, that's gross, too. You gotta hire American companies to build those munitions and all that. It's disgusting. I'm pro-America, not our government.

Well, loyalty to my country always, to my government only when it deserves it. That's Mark Twain. Right. But that's my point, is that like, I can look at this and not have any answers while still going gross. It's gross. A hundred percent. Yeah.

But, but when you say that there are people that have to make decisions, right? So Donald Trump has to make a decision and usually any president historically will say, when I made a decision, a lot of people got saved and a lot of people died. And it's the old Alan, Alan Watts said, us Europeans, us Americans, or us Europeans who try to make the world better by turning everything on its right side, we come in and we go, we got to make this better. The minute you do that, the minute you try to improve the world and you turn everything up, so these fucking things are upside down. Let's turn them right side up.

Well, there's another upside down on this side. And that's the biggest frustration. Yeah, I can't believe we didn't figure it out. I just think like, remember early COVID, when like, you know, there would like be some guy like my dad at a grocery store, and he's like not wearing a mask and everyone's flipping out.

He's going, you gotta wear a mask. A guy like me. And he's like, it's not a law. You can't make me the city And then there's some woman wearing a space suit, you know, and she's filming him like you're being you're a bad You're not wearing your thing. I'm putting this on the internet. He's like shut up boy And she's like girl and you know, whatever and you just see this whole thing and now that you you might identify more with the guy Like my dad you might identify more with this lesbian in a space suit

But I'm watching it going can you both just fucking grow up we share this whole food no but but this is how I listen no listen we're on the right side metaphor Brian yeah my point is we both share this whole foods and it's like we wear your spacesuit certain you don't wear your mask grow up yeah and

that's how long is the Middle East gonna slaughter certain point. You don't wear your mask, leave us alone. Grow up. And how long is the Middle East gonna slaughter each other? 100%. And I don't feel like a racist saying, grow the fuck up. Yeah, 100%. They can't even go into some verbal war room and just get to the bottom of whatever their God's problem

is, do we have to bring in nice people who wanna party at a nightclub and kill their children? But you know. Grow up and settle these things with words. But it's what fucked up about the world is that it takes a very small group of sociopaths to ruin it for all of us. So like a lot of times it's if you look at history, it's a small motivated group of fucking shitheads that that ushered in the communist revolution and killed so many people.

But we cry about slavery that was abolished in our country like a hundred years ago, what, daily on the internet? Yes. But we're not upset with the Middle East for warring for thousands of years. We're privileged Americans. Grow up, what are people doing?

There's a great quote, I don't know, I saw it in some stupid movie, so I don't know, it's not from a book, but it's like war is just old men talking and young men dying And how many people have to fucking die before you just go? Maybe there's a better way to do this like if you had kids would you ever let your kids go into the military? Yes, I would would you yeah, because it's noble but not because I like it if they if you're in the let's say there's another

Afghanistan or false weapons of mass destruction your sons like I'm, I'm going over there to fight. You're like, buddy, we've seen how this goes. There's no weapons of mass destruction. We're not in harm here. They're never going to get to us. But you're going to go out there and die for that? I wish I would have. I wish I would have enlisted. I really believe that.

I think it's good for you to have purpose and meaning. And I think the military experience is one of the best things you can do. I think dying in a war. It's tough. That doesn't make a difference. Yes. And you're going to, you're going to, and I'm all about them. Whole families military love military, but I'm saying if there's a current war, if my two kids like, we're going to go fight this war in Ukraine, I would go, hard, hold on. Yeah. Can we, can we go through some type? I'm with you.

I got some questions. Yeah. Yeah. Can you be stationed in Hawaii? Right, that's the benefit. That's the benefit of learning from your mistakes. Yes. Understanding history. And really looking at how it happened and who was responsible. Imagine if you're, imagine if Finn went into the military and died in the Afghanistan war. Can't think of anything worse.

You'd go, for what? Can't think of anything worse. Oh, but they were terrorists, they were in government. No, they weren't. No, they weren't. No, they weren't. And that's such an important thing to really understand. That's why it's so important to understand the meaningful difference between things, understand the difference between a good idea and a bad idea. Understand that's why I'm a conservative. I stand on certain principles because I think the left gets it so wrong and ultimately turns tyrannical.

The way they handled COVID, they should be punished for that, et cetera, et cetera. Their whole gender ideology, which was a lie. I'll just take an apology. All of that. Yeah. I don't even need them to be punished. I would like them just to go, oh yeah, we played that wrong. My bad.

But the next time you see it, you know. We fucked up. We didn't know. The next time you see it, you know. Like if Newsome came out, I was like, my bad. I kind of fucked the played that wrong. But the next time you see it, you go, if Newstom came out, I was like, my bad, I kind of fucked the whole thing up. I had this person in my ear. I shut down schools. Oh, I love that.

My father used to always say this. My father used to say, don't fall for the fact that it's just, well, it's this or that. There is an answer. And there's a right answer and there's a wrong answer. And sometimes it's really hard to find. But it's really hard to know the difference. Sometimes it's really hard to find. But it's really hard to know the difference. Sometimes it's really easy to make comparisons.

It's very difficult to understand where Charles Murray is right and where Dave Smith is right. Where both are wrong. Well it's okay to be wrong, but just be like, oh I was wrong. Like that's okay. We're all allowed to be wrong.

I've been wrong a million times, but then I just go, yeah I was wrong. Yeah, unless people die. I was wrong on this podcast. I know, but like Fauci could have said hey, man I just didn't know yeah, and I had all these people telling me what's best and so I just feel like most American go Okay, right yeah, but when you keep doubling down like bro, and that's what pisses me off piece of shit Yeah, it's okay to be wrong. You didn't tell us about gaining function research

And how you guys were were you know funding the Wuhan lab? It's yeah, if he was like man We're I was funding this fucking lab. They told me when you get out, bust it out, all this shit. And whenever you were called in, deal with the racists. You're a racist if you say the lab leak is a, that's why. How many friends you lose during, I'm going back to the COVID thing.

How many friends you lose during COVID? I went, oh my God, and you know me, I was like ready to storm the Capitol. My shit, I was like, oh, I'm not anything like you guys. All our comedy friends, I went, oh, buddy, I can never talk to you again. Not because you're on the left. And you never did. No, I never talked to them again.

How many, there's so many people that you guys know, I'm out, man. You're not my foxhole. Well, you're a bitch. Because you're a bitch. Correct. And when the shit goes, when the shit hit the fan, all you guys scoured and you wore your mask, got the shot, you started preaching against all my friends. Dude, we're out, you're out.

I got a lot of hate during that chapter of my life. Same, same. I remember people publicly being like, and Jeff's having people at his house? I'm like, I'm going crazy over here. We were doing the podcast, People were yelling at us. We were like, fuck off. I was in my house with alcohol problem and guns. And you were going to allow it, dude.

I was an alcohol, I was a bona fide alcohol during COVID. And also in the one positive, like you became a star out of all this COVID nonsense and bullshit. The thing that it brought like the fight back into me. Oh yeah. Like I kind of lowered it during comedy. I was like, no, I'm not funny. I'm not mean, blah, blah, blah. You know, not that I was ever mean, but I was like, no, I can't really fight now, you know, and dressing all gay and shit.

And then COVID happened and I was like, oh shit. And I have two, you know, two young boys. I'm like, oh no, they need a man. And so I'm at coffee in this and I was going there before the studio in Santa Monica every day. And then the mask, you know, I'm at coffee in this and I was going there before the studio in Santa Monica every day and then the Mask it, you know, I'm like, I'm not wearing a mask and I go and I'm like the usual and the security girls You gotta put your mask on that coffee and I was like, oh you woke up the D Yeah, you don't want this I went bud.
