Starting point is 00:00:00 When we go to Florida, the first team we play is all black. Oh, when we go to Florida, oh, there's going to be black dudes. We're friends that laugh. We're friends that shout. Sometimes we don't know what we're talking about, but that won't stop. Nothing can stop. Yeah, dude, what's up, man? It's freaking, yo, we're going to do that live show, right?
Starting point is 00:00:47 We're going to show it up. Yeah, we're going to show out. We're going to show up. We'll see. We'll see. We'll figure out the format. We don't know what we're going to do, but we're going to be live. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:00:55 We're professionals. We're going to go up there, tell some jokes. Well, no, I guess we're going to do a podcast, really. I am doing jokes after that on the different show. Whatever, dude. You know what? I'll say, I have felt so weird the past three days, bro. About why?
Starting point is 00:01:11 I don't know. It's just anxious. You ever get like that? I don't know, bro. I think that's the state of manhood. You know, of course you're anxious. Think about everything you have to deal with. You have to travel to make money, to pay for the house, to pay for all the Amazon packages that your wife gets sent to the house.
Starting point is 00:01:29 You have to worry about the kids' school. You have to worry about. These are things that you never cannot worry about your career, your life, and your family. That's the state of being a man. I was thinking about this on the plane. What's it called? Inouye? It's a French-derived term for a profound, often existential feeling of listlessness, boredom, and deep dissatisfaction.
Starting point is 00:01:48 No, this is not what I feel. I was going to say, because you have kids. So you have like a purpose. Usually that's people without any purpose. I see. Yeah. No, yeah. I just feel like stressed.
Starting point is 00:01:58 Like I just want everything to, I'm, I'm doing too much. You know what I mean? Yeah. It's like, you know. But you have a, but the thing is you're doing too much because you feel like you have to to make sure things are okay all the time. I think that's just the state of like when you're like, you know, the breadwinner and you're, you know, that's the thing you worry about.
Starting point is 00:02:18 Yeah. Always. You know, no, no, I don't know. You never get a break from it. Sometimes it's overwhelming. Sometimes I just feel like I get shit on all the time. So it's like, oh, fuck, you know, it's like. It could be your nose is too big and your forehead is weird.
Starting point is 00:02:32 I wish it was that simple. I know, right? Yeah, dude, I know. I get it, man. You know what, though? It's like, oh, I heard this tip. When you're feeling like this kind of stuff, what you do is you make it a character. Oh, like.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Yeah. You know what? Honestly. Why am I getting shit on all the time? If you make that guy that feels this way, then you have more control over it. Yeah, I get it. But then isn't that how you become a crazy person? I'm two people now.
Starting point is 00:03:05 I'm Jason Statham and Christa Leah. And you guys are arguing. It's just, but you know, you haven't. I have to, like, I, like, I have to not look at the news too much, first of all. Yeah. I have to not do that. Oh, we'll see. This is what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:03:21 That's one whole. thing though. I totally agree. Another thing is that doesn't fix it though. Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean? That just makes it so you don't have to feel that kind of dread.
Starting point is 00:03:30 Yeah. You know, and then it's like, oh man, I hope that, you know, I don't know, man,
Starting point is 00:03:39 it's just like so, I hope everybody's happy around me. Yeah. You know? Why are you feeling like, what did you see? What triggered this? No,
Starting point is 00:03:49 I don't, bro, it was, I don't know. Did you see something or feel something? Or was it an anniversary or something in your head? No, I was on a plane coming back and I was just like, I guess I'll net. I can't, I guess I can't ever stop.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Yeah, see. You know what I mean? I'll just keep going. No, you got to diversify. That's when you do life rips coffee shop. You do, you know, you get to just find other things. That's all it is. You just think you're thinking this is all that it'll ever be.
Starting point is 00:04:21 No. Well, it's weird, though, because I don't know, like, I do love my job. I know, but the part, but you were experiencing the part of the job that sucks. Right, right, right, right, right. You know? Being on a plane. Being on a plane. Being away from your family, the travel, the security line.
Starting point is 00:04:39 Yeah. All that nonsense makes us go, ugh, this sucks. So that means when you're on stage or about to walk out and they say your name and that crowd goes crazy, that's the moment you have to go, life rips. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I do, I do like, yeah, I do, yeah. I just, I don't know. You just forgot about it, though.
Starting point is 00:05:03 In that moment, it's like sometimes the dread and the feelings that you're feeling in that moment is so overwhelming because one, also, I bet it was an early flight. You're tired. You know, when's the last time you had worked out? What food did you have that morning? I mean, there's so many different factors that it's not just like this, like, it's not really dread so much as like there's some exterior things that are making, that affect our life and we don't realize how much they do. Sometimes just having too much sugar can make you feel a certain way. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:05:34 Yeah, I guess. I don't know. It's just, you know, everything's a moment, I guess. So it's fine. But it's just like, I'm just trying to tell you, Chris, remember the good moments too. No, I, yeah. Well, you don't say you do. No, I do.
Starting point is 00:05:45 but I I I I there's certain parts times in the month that I can't feel them you know what I mean like you feel I feel I can't get out of the feeling of well this you're having your this is your period yeah I know you're having your man got periods too I tell you we have like emotional periods I get it man I'm just trying to like you know no no no no I appreciate what you're saying yeah yeah but I do I just do think that it's just state of, you know, you know, the society has spent so much time in the last five or six years, like just making being a man bad. Well, that's part of it.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Yeah. You're talking about hos? Yeah, just the society in general right now. It's just like, if you're a man, you're bad, you're toxic, you're all this kind of stuff. And it's just like, nah. It's like, no. It's okay to be to bedrinner.
Starting point is 00:06:37 It's okay to like take care of your family. It's okay to like support your wife and whatever she wants to do. But if she wants to stay home, that's not a bad thing. It's okay that, you know, you're just making sure things are okay. For me, it's like, I think that it's important. You want to, you know what? The great thing when you're, you want your wife to be able to buy whatever the hell she wants.
Starting point is 00:07:00 There's something about that security that you're giving them that I think is like a great thing. And you stress out about that sometimes. Even if we complain, even if we're like, another box is coming to that house. But there's something about it. That's freedom. Yes. Yeah, but, but to your point, Chris, these.
Starting point is 00:07:15 bitches on social media who are single or like, you know, misindependent and they're all single. Okay, bitch. Yeah, yeah, cool, cool. You're 50 without kids. Okay, cool, cool, cool. Meanwhile, your wives are all happy as fuck being stay-at-home moms and raising kids. Like, that's a tough fucking gig. But then that bitch on the internet's like, Miss independent.
Starting point is 00:07:35 Yeah, yeah, lonely as fuck, bitch, seven cats. Cool. I love, I love watching the other side of that other video. Actually, you know, you get caught in a negative algorithm, but then sometimes you get get like I started looking at coffee. For some reason, I'm looking at different coffee machines and my Instagram knows. Now all of a sudden it's like,
Starting point is 00:07:53 here's how you make a good latte. And I'm like, oh, wow, same thing with this kind of thing too. So you start watching, I love to watch these videos that these women in the car being like, when the engine light comes on,
Starting point is 00:08:03 I need a man. I'm so tired of being independent. Yeah, I just need a man to just take care of this. You know, and you start seeing those and you go, oh, you know what? There are a lot of like-minded people out there.
Starting point is 00:08:15 But you're not seeing that. For some reason it knows you want to see the opposite. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So it sucks. No, the majority of women want a fucking dude to hold shit down so they can focus on the family. That's the majority of the limit. Yeah, totally. But even, I'm just saying.
Starting point is 00:08:29 They get a couple crazy bitches are loud on the internet and they're single. It's all right. Maybe even the ones that don't have a family, but just like like being taken care of. That's okay too. They're so sad. They're so sad. No, no. I'm not, we're, that, I'm not talking about.
Starting point is 00:08:45 I'm saying I think it's okay also if you're, you know, you got a job, you're doing your thing, but you still want a man in your life to like, take me out on Wednesday. Yep, yep, but also quit your job and raise a family bitch, right? But also quit your job. Yeah, but this is before they've gotten together, Brandon. There's a dating period. Brendan says no. So Brendan thinks you meet a chick and the moment you meet her, she got to quit her job.
Starting point is 00:09:10 Quit, quit. Quit. He just thinks women should just be wandering around. not working. No, dude, don't be ridiculous. They should be in the kitchen. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:09:20 Just kidding. But seriously. Do you cook at all? You cook, right? Yeah, a little bit. Very little bit. You cook? I grill with the best of them.
Starting point is 00:09:28 Very little. I'm a grill master. I'll make like, yeah. Wow. That counts. But I mean, it's more of like a,

Starting point is 00:09:45 You cook a lot. Chicken, steak, fish. Then you cook a lot. You cook a lot. You provide cooking for the family. Also, I think that's also what happens when you're culturally different. Like at a certain point when he's like, I don't want to have no more Mexican food. He's like.
Starting point is 00:10:00 Facts and stay in shape. How many enchilada dishes are we going to have in this house? You know what I mean? My father-in-law made a curry casserole last time. I'm like, buddy. Oh, God. We're white. What are you doing?
Starting point is 00:10:13 But curry. Wow, Jesus. Curry casserole. Yeah, we don't, I don't know. I just, I just, I think we spend too much money on food. I mean, yeah, well. It's crazy. I make only rice and, you know, lean beef for chicken, you know, I don't, I don't.
Starting point is 00:10:33 But do the kids eat that, Chris? Yeah, sometimes, you know, salmon. They love salmon. Really? We got them early on salmon. We haven't tried that with Wolf yet. Yeah. It's so funny.
Starting point is 00:10:44 we didn't realize that Billy was saying, we don't know if he's saying rice or fries ever. Because he says, vice. He's tough. Vice. I told you, I told you,
Starting point is 00:10:56 he likes dinosaurs now, so he can't say horn. He goes, Horn. Wow. Horn. Yeah. He says it just like that too.
Starting point is 00:11:06 He's like very emphasized. So I know what you're saying. Sometimes you don't know what they want. What are you asking for right now? You know, I don't know. But he's, the other day,

Starting point is 00:11:40 Yeah, yeah. I don't know. I just, I was always, when I was a kid, I was real skinny. You know? So it's like, I don't know. Like I said, we went to the doctor a few weeks ago. And, you know, they got his weight, you know. What percentile was he in?
Starting point is 00:11:55 He's like, taller. He's into 60 percentile for weight, but in the 99 percent of height. Wow. Oh, basketball player. Here we come. I know. I'm hoping defense, you know. Yes, sir.

Starting point is 00:12:16 Not yet. Nothing? No. No. They're just not into it. No. But you weren't either, right? I did it.
Starting point is 00:12:24 But I don't know if I did it at five. You know what I'm saying? Really? They just did it probably when you first went to school, then you were like, oh, I guess I got to do this because everybody's doing it. Yeah. But for me, I think Wolf likes football because I watch football. Right, right, right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:39 You know, he just, he just, he just, I mean, all they want to do, all they want to do is make them laugh make us laugh everybody laugh that's all they ever want to do there it is it's different just different that's fun but I don't know
Starting point is 00:12:55 but yeah but sometimes I'm like like because you know Calvin now can do whatever you know so I'm like I want to you know I want him to work out or something or like go to like because he tried we tried to
Starting point is 00:13:09 we put him in baseball a little bit and he was just like not he just didn't want to do it not his thing no Yeah, at least you're not for some. Oh, yeah, yeah. At the super, like the neighborhood had a Super Bowl party, so all the kids are playing football, like tackle football, which is great.
Starting point is 00:13:23 Yeah. And there's one kid, he's a big kid, too. He threw the ball and I was just like, oh, my God. I look to the dad, I'm like, you've never taught him out of throw football. He was nah, man. I'm like, what are you doing, dude? The fuck you do it. Especially if you want, you want to expose him to that, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:37 Yeah, dude. This is a great conversation because I have a buddy of mine who, like, okay, let me start like this. My mom was a concert pianist, okay? And she had to stop doing that because of whatever, the environment she was in and escaped and whatever, whatever. Okay, so she tried to, she wanted me to play the piano. And she, like, forced me.
Starting point is 00:13:58 And I know that I didn't continue playing the piano because of that. Right. I wish I did. Exactly. Right. And I wish I did. I look back now, like, God, I wish I had that skill. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:08 So I have a friend of mine who believes firmly in, like, he was like, nah, I believe in forcing. You got to make them do stuff and, what do you call it, follow through and then see what happens afterwards. And I was like to like, I want to just see what they want, but where are you guys land on that?
Starting point is 00:14:27 If he signs up for it, if he signs up for it, you're going to all the practice, you're on time. Yes. You got to follow through. Right. But if I go, T,
Starting point is 00:14:38 you're playing football, I don't want to play football. I'm not going to force him to play football. football. But if you sign, if you, if you, if you, if you make me sign up and I pay for it, you have a commitment that teams banking on you, you're going to finish the season. I agree. I agree.

You got to play one.
Starting point is 00:16:05 No, that's what I'm trying to say. Like, where are you on the thing? I feel like they have to gravitate towards that. Yeah. I feel like they have to gravitate towards that. Yeah. Like if, if Billy grew up,
Starting point is 00:16:14 started really liking music and then he was like, oh, you know, I told him about what a guitar is and he's like, those are cool. And then I was like, well, you know,
Starting point is 00:16:21 we could, you know, and it became something. Then, but, but not, I'm not going to be like, get,
Starting point is 00:16:25 you know, what, what musical instrument do you're going to play? It's like, I'm just, I'm just interested in like, you know,
Starting point is 00:16:32 because I'm thinking about like, like, like, dude, , my, when I was a kid, I, like, I'm really, I would say I'm, I'm into fitness and stuff.
Starting point is 00:16:39 But like when I was a kid, I was never forced into do, you know, I played a little baseball, but, you know, but like I found that on my own. Yeah, me too. You know, certain things I found on my own. So like, you know, I like that. I like that. But I hated going into piano lessons. I just hated.
Starting point is 00:16:53 Yeah. Well, my parents put me in piano lessons and I couldn't wait because my mom would always, because you hear that from everyone that say, oh, I'm, I wish I learned how to play the piano where I wish I learned how to do. And I'm, as a kid, I literally was like, oh, do you. Dude, I'm not going to think that. And I don't. And I'm so happy I fucking didn't learn it.
Starting point is 00:17:10 Well, you have a different, but that's just you, I think you had a mentality from a very young age to go into whatever you wanted to go into. But you still follow the footsteps of like, you know, your father was in the business. And you went into the business. I do think it's good too.
Starting point is 00:17:26 Like these, there's a fine, it's a good fucking question because the fine balance too. Because there's something, you know, when they're like seven, eight, nine, sometimes like, man, I'm going to go fuck around with my friends. I don't play the piano. But if your mom was like,
Starting point is 00:17:39 no, dude, you're playing the piano. You know what I'm saying? Like, trust me, it's going to pay off. So I think when they're 7, 8, 9, yes, sometimes they don't want to do it. Yeah, of course. You got to force them to do it.
Starting point is 00:17:49 Sometimes, yes. Yes. Like Tiger, Tiger, they're on break, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, they've had five days off. Tiger's friends aren't playing high level baseball. So all his friends were playing, and I went over them.
Starting point is 00:18:02 I'm like, buddy, we got practice. He's like, no, I want to play. to my friends. I'm like, come here, let me talk to you. I told you before we signed up, if you want to play travel baseball, we're going to miss baseball, we're going to miss birthday parties. You're not going to be chilling with your friends all the time. Now these kids have the skill to play this level. You do. This is the commitment. This is what we signed up for. But what I hear in that, which I think is a very important, valuable lesson that adults don't, a lot of adults don't have, especially United States, is discipline. Because,
Starting point is 00:18:35 the thing that like look the hardest part about being in shape going working out the hardest part is the discipline it is all of it because it's discipline in what you eat it's discipline in when you work out it's discipline in getting your sleep the discipline is the hardest part and and it's not always fun and how are you going to know that it's your dad like what brandon's doing as being like, look, you want to be great at this. I want you to be great at this. And this is how we're going to do it. Correct.
Starting point is 00:19:10 And then I don't think, and I think what happens is maybe there'll be a time and it will take a, it might take a long time for him to truly appreciate it. Yeah. It might be 10 years from now when he's, you know, 18, he's got $20 million in the bank from an NIL deal. That's when he's going to look back and say, thank you. Dad was on it. Right. Yep. Hopefully.
Starting point is 00:19:31 Hopefully. But also, but I also made like, um, it's just a different standard in the household. Even with my wife, it's like, this is what we do. This is like,
Starting point is 00:19:41 uh, like stay in shape, play sports. It's what we do. There's, there's no other way. Yeah. And like Tiger ain't gonna,
Starting point is 00:19:49 listen, you know, I'm somewhat of a smart dude. I'm not as smart as you guys. I'm a smart as Chin or Brian. It's not the God given gift I was given. Like, I tell Tiger all the time,
Starting point is 00:19:58 like buddy, our family's not going to cure cancer. answer bubble. You better fucking dedicate your life. You're a big fucking dude. You know, you're a big fucking dude. You're super athletic that you want to make something for yourself. This is your best way to do it. So commit to it. Well, that's, I would say that that's one way to do it because you did it that way. You know, and it's, and it's, and it's like you tell kids what you know. I mean, it's interesting that you're saying your kids like to make people laugh. Because that's, you know, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? I just think that it's just a fine line right
Starting point is 00:20:30 now. I was like, you know, we don't get a manual for being a parent and you're just trying to, like, I got a piano in the house. And Wolf knows how to walk up to it. He turns it on on his own. He knows how to press the button. And he just tinkles on the keys and he does stuff. And I just go, I just encourage you. But I'm like trying to find the fine. But I'm like, you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, like it. All right. You know, I'm like. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Let's go down. All right. You don't like it. I don't hold this. Right. Right. Cool. let's try this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I'll tell you what's an interesting conversation is Tiger now is realizing like, you know, money, college stuff. So he likes to box. And he's like, dad, is there like a thing I can do to compete like boxing? I'm like, buddy, that's that's not a path we want to go down.
Starting point is 00:21:18 We don't want to put an emphasis on boxing or MMA. He's like, why? I'm like, because I did that. I said, for instance, when you watch the Dodgers, the worst player on the team, which there's no bad players on the Dodgers. But the worst player, the guy who's probably not the best on the Dodgers, is making $3, $4 million a year. When you watch the UFC,
Starting point is 00:21:38 and he goes, well, how much did you make in the UFC? I said, I was ranked top 10 in the world. I fought three times a year. I made maybe $200,000 to $300,000. He goes, what? I'm like, yes. And it's a year-round, buddy. It doesn't stop.
Starting point is 00:21:51 So the juice isn't worth the squeeze pound. We'll do boxing so you have better hand-eye coordination for football. baseball but we're not going to major in boxing it's not it's not what we do buddy well that's it's such a it's such a like a weird conversation to have to like oh dude you know because it's like you go because in their minds they're like i mean i mean because i mean you're a kid and you're like well dad but look what you did we live in a great house you know right you know we did you know you know whatever you say you did i mean it's still they're going to have like a yeah but i make it clear like the house we live in, the cars I drive,
Starting point is 00:22:28 that's not because of fighting. Right. The discipline is what got us here, but it's not because I tell them, like when you were born, we lived in a 700 square foot apartment. You know? Like, fighting was tough, dude.
Starting point is 00:22:43 And then the other thing I tell them too is like, if most of the fighters, this can come off bad, especially as UFC fighter, if you went to those fighters, if they had the skill when they were young, to play for the Dodgers, to play for the fucking Denver Broncos.
Starting point is 00:22:59 They would choose that. They couldn't make those, they're not athletic enough to do that. So they gravitated towards martial arts. The good athletes aren't fucking sign up for jihitsu and fucking karate. But it's all they can really do. Tiger has a skill set where, buddy,
Starting point is 00:23:15 we're not doing fucking Taekwana. Are you having that day, I heard of football front of Moni said he was like, he was like, a lot of football players are just failed basketball players. you know and and and and and to be honest like the only reason i got into the ufc because i was a failed football player like like and i was i was considered a really good athlete in the ufc yeah i'm dime a dozen in the in college football you walk in any college block room there's 30 of me wow
Starting point is 00:23:44 at least dude i'm not special in the ufc i'm special because they don't have a lot of good athletes if that makes sense yeah it's different or i don't know if it's even like not good athletes so much is like they don't have a lot of people. There's not, I don't know if there's a lot of people willing to put themselves on the line for that. Yeah. And also there's,
Starting point is 00:24:03 you know what I mean? There's like, it's a special kind of thing in your head. But also there's a difference. There's a difference between trying to figure out the game and then trying to figure out how to not get fucking knocked out. Yeah. You know?
Starting point is 00:24:19 Yeah. You know, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, get fucked up a bunch of times. It's going to suck. You're not going to be, uh, okay, so what's the
Starting point is 00:24:32 best analytical thing to do here? How do we, what play do we run? It's your, you're, well, you do learn that stuff, but, but the other, the other thing too is like, say when you guys are starting stand up comedy and both your dad's had millions of dollars in the bank, how hard are you going to hustle to make it stand up? So when it comes to fighting, it's even magnify that by 30. Because, Ty, All right, so TGO's down and dedicate my life on makes to the UFC. Okay, I can help you get there. I have a good idea how we're going to do this.
Starting point is 00:25:02 But we're competing with dudes in Dagestan, in Russia, in China, in Japan, and in America, who have nothing, buddy. This is the only way. And then you've got to compete against those fucking guys. Right. And in order, if they win, they're going to feed their family. You're good. You're never going to make it, buddy.
Starting point is 00:25:22 That tenacity, that work ethic they have. You can't compete with that dude. In fighting, sure as fuck can't. Interesting. Well, you know, let's say, you know, what if he, but what do you do if, what do you do, what do you do if, what do you, what do you do if, what do you do? What do you do if, like, it triggers in his head. Nah, I can't do it. And then he like, it gets inspired.
Starting point is 00:25:42 Then let's ride. All right. Then let's ride. All right. I'm down for it. But I'm just telling you, I tell T, you're, you're better athlete than I was. I went pretty far. You have, you're way more athletic.
Starting point is 00:25:52 You're bigger. You're stronger. you're going to dominate in everything when I was a kid. If you just get your, if you just focus, dude, you're going to go wherever the fuck you want to go. Fighting,
Starting point is 00:26:03 fighting's for the birds, dude. Fightings for the, because nobody wins in fighting. Even when I won fights, I got fucked up. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Starting point is 00:26:09 brain trauma. Right. I had stitches. I was in the hospital. Nobody, my grandma used always say, because my grandpa, go, did you win?
Starting point is 00:26:17 And my grandma would go, nobody wins. Did you get hit? I go, yeah, she goes, nobody won. Hmm. Yeah, it's a weird thing, huh? to even want to do combat sports, you know?
Starting point is 00:26:26 I don't know. I don't know, man. You know, it's like, and then even when, like, even when I, my limited knowledge of the UFC, when I look at it, I often think, like, like, who's the person that is trying to go into a fight and, and have the cerebral approach to it? Like, like, you know, if you're, if you're fighting against a brawler,
Starting point is 00:26:48 you're like, should I be brawling this guy? But it's like, if that, you think that is your best, thing. Is there an ego thing involved? Or you're like, no, I'm brawling because I'm a brawler as opposed to what's the best way to beat that guy? Take him down. I don't know who many. I don't know what fighters are doing that.
Starting point is 00:27:05 There's a, especially at the highest level, there's a lot of guys. Like when I felt LeVar Johnson, was I better striking him? Yeah. Did I have better power? No. But he had no wrestling. So I'm like, all right, this one's not going to be that exciting. But this dude can't wrestle.
Starting point is 00:27:19 So I'm just going to keep taking him down. If I win by decision, all good. At least I win. You know? Right. You want to see that. That's the kind of, you know. But I say that that's the, that's the chess game in it.
Starting point is 00:27:29 I mean, that's when it's like at the highest level of doing that. And I think that when people are coming up in this, you see like a version of it that you're like, oh, I don't know if I want to do that. But here, and that's why fighting is not the juice isn't worth to squeeze. Because let's say Tiger wants to dedicate his life to baseball or football. Well, you go to high school, right? And you got to get good grades to be eligible. And then you're going to get a scholarship to college. hopefully it pays for your education.
Starting point is 00:27:53 That'd be dope. But the networking, the friends you're going to make in the college experience and playing out a high level and learning discipline, whether you make it pro or not, you're going to have this fucking set of skills in a foundation. That's going to, and with you go into business, you're going to crush.
Starting point is 00:28:08 At UFC, it's not like that, man. It's just we can turn pro when you're 17. There's no college experience. We're flying all over the fucking world in random spots, not making much money. I don't have health insurance.
Starting point is 00:28:19 Then what are you going to do? And then if it doesn't, work out you know there's no networking there's no college degree you're networking your best friends are fucking idiots too right well that's why you got to pat yourself on the back because it's like you took that turned it into business skills you were like you try different things you got into what you're doing now so it's like you know there's paths for everybody if they if they find a way to do it but it's just as a father you know you're trying to look and be like hey I want you to be better than me you know I think that
Starting point is 00:28:51 that's the thing you want, right? Yeah. You know, you want, you want, whatever it is. Whatever it is. The tough thing is the three of us are privileged. Like, I'm not the richest guy in the world far fucking from it. I got a hustle man. Eric's not the richest dude.
Starting point is 00:29:04 Chris is pretty rich by the richest in the room. But either way, we're better off than our parents were. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? So my biggest thing with T and Bosti in sports is how do they get that dog in them? Because I was a dog. Yeah, yeah. Tiger asked me,
Starting point is 00:29:21 Dad, would you beat me at nine? I look, I'm like, buddy, you're bigger, faster, stronger? I would have ran fucking circles around me. He was really, I go, yes, dude. I didn't quit, buddy. You'd have to kill me before I lost. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:29:34 I wouldn't leave the field till I finish first. It's a mentality thing. That's a difference between it. No, but the thing, but the thing too, you also lives near a fucking lake. No, I, yeah, but there's a certain, you know what, that's exactly right. I know, but the thing is, is like,
Starting point is 00:29:45 how do you, how do you weigh that? Like, you know, it's like, you're flying your family someplace. It's like, yeah, you want to fly first class. Well, I know, I know, but it's like where do the lessons? I stopped that a long time ago. I know, but what are the lessons come in? You get what you're trying to say?
Starting point is 00:30:01 I've heard, I've heard this recently from somebody, uh, it's like, I was thinking about this flying family first class versus not flying family first class. And, you know, because I'm like, well, if I bring one of my kids, I was like, what am I going to do? Am I going to, uh, am I going to sit with them in the economy or am I going to? Yeah, you are. Right. But now, I probably would. But why am I suffering?
Starting point is 00:30:24 That's what I do. That's what I do. It's actually not so bad though because they don't bump you over and shit. You know, it's fine. But, but there are certain situations and maybe first class or economy. This isn't the best example of it. But there are certain versions of it where it's like, dude, life is hard. And it's going to beat you up no matter what.
Starting point is 00:30:47 Yeah. So you don't have to. You don't, a little bit of it is good, but you don't have to make life extra hard for your kid because you want them to learn how hard life is. Life will do that anyway. I know, but the thing, though, is like, I think that what happens in the United States is we've become, we've become so entitled that, and we've forgotten how hard it is places. That's why you have people thinking, we're the same as Venezuela.
Starting point is 00:31:13 Right, right, right, right. You know what it's like, we've forgotten where we've come from. Right, right. But the part of that is like, part of me is like, yeah, that's okay too. I don't want Wolf to grow up the way my mom grew up. Yeah. You know, it's like. Nor should you.
Starting point is 00:31:28 Or even, or even the way I grew up. Like, I've never lived in a house my entire life. Wow. I'm super sad. Wow. And I just. That's super sad. No, I mean, it's like, we live.
Starting point is 00:31:41 No, that's great. But that's got to be a fucking, that's got to feel fucking amazing. Yeah. But the thing is it's like. That's awesome. So, but Wolf's only going to know that. And that's how it should be, though. That's how it should be because you work so hard.
Starting point is 00:31:53 I know, he's going to have to find it. I've never lived in a castle. But the, finally. The point is finding a balance. Cut off someone's hell. I'm just saying the point is finding a balance of being like, hey, how do you teach appreciation?
Starting point is 00:32:06 But fellas, that's why sports is the ultimate equalizer. Sports, because like Tiger in LA, I was the coach, we won the championship. His football team won the championship. He's like,
Starting point is 00:32:17 oh, he got a little arrogant, right? we're in the car, he's like, yeah, dad, get MVP. I go, yeah, yeah. I said, what did you? He goes, you don't seem that exciting. I go, that's whatever team. I expect you guys to win. I said, what did you realize today?
Starting point is 00:32:28 He was, what do you mean? I go, did you see a single black kid on that field? He goes, no, I go, when you watch the NFL, we watch college, how many black kids are in the field? He was mainly all of them. I go, exactly, dude. This isn't real, dude. This isn't real.
Starting point is 00:32:42 So when we go to Florida, the first team we play is all black. Oh, when we go to Florida, oh, there's good. Oh, there's gonna be black dudes. That's more of a realistic look. You know what I'm saying? That's sports. Yeah. That's sports, dude.
Starting point is 00:32:58 Like, if you're just bawling on these fucking white kids from Calabasas, I don't give a fuck, dude. It's like finding that, it's like, how do you, it's like finding that dog. You know what I mean? Like, I really appreciated playing sports where I was in high school. And I didn't at first. And it was something about the challenge of like, for me, it was always like somebody telling me I couldn't do something.
Starting point is 00:33:19 But that's like a tough, like that's, I don't know where I got that from or how that, you know, maybe it was, maybe I was watching my, watching a single mother. Yeah. Try to raise you through the world. Persevere. That might have done it or, or you were born with it. Like I, you know, I, like my, my littlest one, Bosti, he's a fucking, he's a dog. He's a fucking dog.
Starting point is 00:33:41 Now, maybe it's because he's trying to keep up with his older brother and his friends, which that's what I did. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it creates that fucking. firing you, but I don't know if you can teach it. I don't know what the fuck you do. And maybe it's, Jay. Maybe it's Maybe it's Maybe it's Maybe it's maybe.
Starting point is 00:33:57 No, I, my shit was I felt I remember just like, because for me it was always comedy and like, and always making people laugh. Like even like in when I was very, very young, I remember doing that to make people okay with me being around because of the inadequacy I felt myself, you know? like and and and that's why I say like you know you aren't you are who I've always said this and I don't know if it makes any sense but to me it does you are who you are in your head bro like you know just because you look a certain way or act a certain way or seem a certain way that that's not who you are you are in your head so if you are playing or if you're convinced you're the one down or you're convinced
Starting point is 00:34:43 you're the person that needs to that that has that dog in them then that's who you are you know it's like well but you also need the outside to verify that by achievements yeah but but that comes from you yeah but that comes from your dedication your practice you know but you also there's there's a level of delusion that people feel in their life and like i think the greatest athletes ever are all delusional yeah but that's what strives you are mr i'm fucking the funniest in four thousand I have to feel like that. No, no, but that is exactly what that is. 100% I feel too.
Starting point is 00:35:17 Yeah, yeah. You got to be that way. You got to be that way. But I think that's one of the only reasons I made it. You know? You got to be like, yeah, I'm funnier than this guy. Yeah, yeah. You got to feel that way.
Starting point is 00:35:30 It's like a weird thing. Whether it's true or not, it doesn't matter. Well, yeah, if you get into the ring and you're like, oh, this guy might be better than me. You're going to lose. Yeah. You know what the problem? You know what the problem with that is?
Starting point is 00:35:41 You know, like when I was in the UFC, I was like, oh, I'm the best. the world. I'm going to be world champion. I was top 10, right? I had a good career by all means out a good career. But when you retire and you don't, because the whole goal is to be the world champion. When you don't become world champion, which 0.01% do, you feel like a complete loser. Right. I understand. That's the downside. I get that. But that whole attitude is what got you where you were, which was top 0.1%. But to me, there's, listen, this is how I talk. This is how I can think about the entertainment business. The entertainment business, you have to manage your disappointment.
Starting point is 00:36:21 So what I mean by that is when I get an audition, I get super excited about it. And I do my tape, I do my audition, and then I'm waiting to hear if I'm going to get this part. And I'm thinking about the part. I'm like, like, I just just happened to me right now. I didn't get this role. But I like feeling that. I don't want to be a person that's like, ah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:44 Yeah, just you move on from it. Right, right, right. No, no, no, I want to feel it so then when I get it, I'm like, hell yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But then if I don't get it, that's, I have to manage that disappointment. So I feel like that's a part of what you need to do. So, like, if you're in games, you're going to games and you're playing, I remember when I was playing basketball. My freaking coach was a dickhead, you know what I mean? Rest his soul.
Starting point is 00:37:07 And, you know, he died. But it was like, he was like a dick to me. But he was a dick to me. And I remember being like, nah, no, I'm a, oh, you don't think I could do this? Yeah. And it's like, I was like, no, I'm going to prove. So let's say like you, even if you don't prove, you didn't get to do the thing you wanted to do. I think you could still look back and enjoy the life that you've, whatever you did to get to even to that point.
Starting point is 00:37:32 So I just think it's a balance that you have to do that. Because I even think about like with comedy, like, I love when people like, you know, I'm streaming or somebody's like, man, all you're just a dude from work. cause. That's all you ever had. And I think to myself like, wow, that's such a weird thing to think. So I was on one of the most iconic shows ever. Ever. And I, and I did that. If that's all I ever do, that was great. You know what I mean? That's more than 99% of anybody who gets entertainment. I get the same thing with fine. And like, that's why he lost to Roy Nelson. It's like, yeah, yeah, sure. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. Buddy, you didn't play high school. football. Why are we having this conversation? Yeah, it's like, I just think that as for ourselves,
Starting point is 00:38:18 forget about everyone else. I'm just saying for me how I think of it. Yeah. I'm saying like what you're talking about is in your head. Yeah. So for me, I think of it like, I want to be clear though. It took me, it took me years like I was super ashamed. I wouldn't talk about the UFC. No, I get actually hear from what you're saying. Yeah. Now I'm good. Yeah. Because my kids. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm good now. Now I'm fucking hell. Yeah. That was dope. No, but I always had that kind of feeling of like, you know, I always say like you look back on the things that you've done and you go, oh, I did all right. I just think that comparison is the thief of joy, you know. Pluto TV has thousands of free movies and TV shows.
Starting point is 00:38:55 You swear. If I'm mine, I'm done. This is the mindset. Free. This is the mantra. Free. This is the. With movies like Interstellar, Dreamgirls and Gladiator.
Starting point is 00:39:08 Why are you not entertained? And TV shows like Survivor. SpongeBob Square Pants, the Fairly Odd Parents and Ghosts. Pluto TV is always free. Hazzo! Pluto TV, stream now, pay never. You know what's a funny story? Here's a funny story for you.
Starting point is 00:39:24 I'm standing outside the comedy store, and I'm talking with, these are the people who are talking about. I'm talking to Michael Bay and Dane Cook, and some other people are sitting there talking. And I say to them, you know, it's like, you know, it's like, Dan, you sold out Madison Square Garden, you know, and they see it to come to me and I go,
Starting point is 00:39:39 yeah, you know, I don't compare like that. I say comparisons to the thief of joy. You don't want to. I say the same thing. And then Dane says, that's what losers say. That's why Dane's Dane. Yeah, that's like Dan's Dane. But what I'm saying is, there's a mentality.
Starting point is 00:39:54 It's all how you look at it. But he was just joking. Yeah, I know, I know. Yeah. But it's like, you just go, that's what I'm saying. So you have, you have to look at your life and be like, are you enjoying yourself? Are you having the fun things? Are you, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:40:07 And you go, all right. Right now it's tough. But yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, it's like, whatever. Whatever it might be a dog. Go ahead. You want to talk about the dog. So my little man, Bosti, right?
Starting point is 00:40:17 He always plays up. He's a monster. You put him with other five, six-year-olds. It's not a competition. I'm talking blows the doors off these kids, so they have to move them up. So he's playing with second graders. He's still in preschool.
Starting point is 00:40:29 He goes to tryouts, and this isn't me. I haven't said anything to him. So they have him do the tryout. He fucking tears it up, right? Tears it up. He's the fast kid on the field. And the coach goes, how do you think you did, buddy?
Starting point is 00:40:41 And he doesn't know I'm behind him. He goes, definitely the best here. The coach goes, oh, wow, wow, okay. And I was just like, yeah, that's what it takes. But here's the thing. This is the interesting part. The interesting part is the understanding. If you can get the understanding of like, I'm the best here, but this isn't my goal.
Starting point is 00:41:06 Correct, Derek. I don't want to be the best around these clowns. Correct. And that's my entire message to the kids. Yeah, but the other part of my message, too, is like, is like if you being like, if I even felt like,
Starting point is 00:41:18 like, it's like, uh, what is it being the best amongst, it's like if you go to an open mic and you're, you know, it's like, wait, uh,
Starting point is 00:41:24 I don't care about. Exactly. That's why I tell T. That's why I tell T. Like he, he won the MVP of this tournament. And I was like, yeah,
Starting point is 00:41:33 buddy, we're not competing with these kids. You're competing with the kids in fucking Florida, in New Orleans, in fucking California. California, man. I don't, this means nothing, dude. They'll be black players in New Orleans.
Starting point is 00:41:47 When I say like the shop, like, even when I was a kid, sports is what we do. This is how serious sports are in my household. This is why the kids at five and nine are advanced amongst other kids because it's all we focus on. Right. So my mom, we can talk about out of air,
Starting point is 00:42:06 my, And she has cancer. She told me she has cancer. But she knows tigers in the car. Listen this. She knows tigers in the car. And he had a, he had a, he had his baseball game. She goes, yeah, I found out of cancer.
Starting point is 00:42:21 How did tiger play? That's where my family's at, dude. That's, that's just what we do, if that makes sense. So this huge cancer thing, I'm like, oh my God. She goes, wait, how did tiger play? And that took priority of the conversation. Oh. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:40 took the pocket, it's a screeching halt. No, no, no, no, dude. It's like, I mean, this is one of the more, but I'm just saying that. It's okay. Yeah, I know, but I'm, I know, you're making a point. You're making a point.
Starting point is 00:42:50 That's the value of sports in my family. So when your kid comes and he's a first timer and my kid's fucking balling on him, it's like, yeah, dude, this is what we do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but again, you know, there's something about, again, you manage your disappointments and you, you, you have fun when you, have fun when you win, you know, and understand why you lose. You know, it's like I always, you know, even if you relate just to comedy, I always think
Starting point is 00:43:18 it's like there really isn't, there isn't a bad audience. You can have a bad experience with some, you know, some shit, some, some, some environmental things can be going on in a show that makes something go a certain way. But I always have the thought I was like, ah, that was my fault. I just, that's how I look. That's what Greg Fitzsimmons says. Greg Fitzsimmons. I remember we were doing a show at the comedy store and, this is,
Starting point is 00:43:39 There's big names on there. And dudes are coming back to the green, in the main room. And everyone's dying. And every comic kept going, this fucking audience man. Greg Fitzsim and goes, no, no, no, no. They're here to laugh. It's you guys. And he's right.
Starting point is 00:43:54 He went out there and crushed. I mean, again, I know, I've done it long enough where I know if I feel like I'm working, then I know this is not the best environment today. If I'm having fun, you know when you have that set where you walk out like, Oh, man. And we always, the funny thing is we give the crowd the credit all the time. Either way. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:44:16 Because we go, oh, man, that crowd was on fire. No, no, you were on fire. That's funny. And then the other times when they're bad, we go, ah, the crowd sucked. Nah, I put it on me. That's why I don't ever, I never say good set to people unless I really mean it. You know, I just don't do that. So it comes to me, a good set, man.
Starting point is 00:44:34 And I saw them. I'd be like, thanks. That's as far as I'm going to go with that. because you don't need that from me. It's like whatever, I don't know. So you're saying if the, if you both, what are you saying? What I'm saying is like, let's say I don't think, because then I question, are you just saying that to me because you want me to say back to you?
Starting point is 00:44:57 It's like if I want to say that, I'll say that. Yeah. But, you know, it is. I just feel like you take. And I know too. I just come off stage and I look at all the other comics and I go, I did good. Yeah, but you always have been like that. I know.
Starting point is 00:45:08 I'm kidding. Yeah. Yeah, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's doing, you're, you're in like a different, you know, realm in your head. No, but for, no, but for me, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just feel like now as I gotten older, I, I, I, I, I, I know, like, I know what, that's, that's, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know what, I'd be like, oh, I shouldn't have talked about it. But, you know what I had to start reactionary to it, too, because, like, I was trying to talk about something at the comedy store one day, a couple weeks ago, and it just wasn't going to way I want, even though I had the thought on my head, and some girl was like, she was like, ah, she was like, ah, she was like well make it funny you know and my reaction was like you fuck you bitch you know what me like that but i should have but you know what should have been like you know but my real reaction should have been like you know you know you're right mm-hmm i'm working on this you know you know you know yeah it kind of takes away the the the negative whatever's going on yeah because it happens like that i think you know the problem is you know people they don't care you know you're at a show they're
Starting point is 00:46:05 like hey i'm at a show i paid however much money at this $20 for parking hey be funny motherfucker you know what i mean and my thing is like nah this ain't no serious thing i'm not paying my rent from this show so i'm working on some jokes to see all these people by the way yeah yeah so i'm uh i'm working this out but again my reaction to it as like you know you just that's what a thing i just think that and this goes to what you were saying about it's in your head all of this stuff is in your head even how we started a podcast it's in your head everything's in your head so it's like it's how we manage that it's going to be what makes it's going to be what makes us who we are, you know what I mean, and how we approach it.
Starting point is 00:46:42 And I think that's, it's interesting to hear like, and then when you become a dad, it's all about, am I doing this right? That's all you can think about. You're just like, oh, my God. I got a roll, boys. All right. I'm saying, man, you know, we'll talk later. I'm sorry to hear about your mom.
Starting point is 00:46:56 Yep, yep, yep. See you guys. All right, man. Yeah, so, you know. Oh, that sucks, man. I know. Like this getting, family's getting older and shit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:10 It's, hey, you don't got to tell me, man. I know. My stepfather, my stepfather, it's like, you know, anytime I'm at my, I'm at a point now, like, if I get a phone call at a certain hour from parents, then it's, you're like, oh, no. Like, it's never like, hey, what's up? Oh, my God. You know, so for me now, my stepfather calls him like, oh, my God, did you, did you butt down me? You know, because that's what he's done a few times.
Starting point is 00:47:35 He was like, I'm in the emergency room, you know? And I'm like, what the hell? You know, and he was like, it was like. It's for butt dialing. Imagine. No, but he was like, he's okay. But that's now, after my mom passed, now I'm like, oh, my God. You know, Rachel's parents, you know, it's like, you know, you just get to that point where you just kind of like, oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:48:01 But that's the, but the thing is like, you're stressed out about all that. And at the same time, you have to like put up a brave face for your family. Right. For your kids. because they don't care. Like, Wolf don't care. I just got off a flight and I'm exhausted. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:18 I had, I was up. So I performed the late show and then I got back to the hotel at like midnight. And now my flight is at 4 a.m. So I don't even sleep from 11 to whatever. So I'm up and then I'm on, I'm dealing with this stupid airport. And I get home and Wolf's like, football. Yeah. You get all that shit.
Starting point is 00:48:39 And your son's still like, yeah, but. watch me play. Yeah. Yeah. And then then we also have our wife who was like, do you know how it is to be having to watch a kid all day? And I'm like, I'm like, okay, okay, jet lagged. And I'm like, all right.
Starting point is 00:48:57 Is what Sam Trimpley said about when, when he commented on, it was like a, you know, reaction clip where Amy Schumer's talking to the, that one with the podcast about how like, imagine if your dad had to put your birthday party together. Oh, I wouldn't have one. Oh, dads are awful. And Sam Tripoli is like, I can put together a fucking birthday party.
Starting point is 00:49:21 He's like, he's like, you know what fucking easier life is? Because I fucking work. He's like, you want me to do a birthday party? Well, guess what? I couldn't because I'm at fucking work. Yeah, dude, he's so funny. But, yeah, it's just.
Starting point is 00:49:36 Yeah, so you just kind of go, you go, okay. Yeah, people hate men, bro. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's awesome. They need us. They need us and hate us. You know, but, you know, whatever. You know what, though?
Starting point is 00:49:48 Not in my house. No, I know. Not in my house. Yeah, you know, Rachel's super supportive and she's, you know. Yeah. You know what are you supposed to do? I don't know. You know, it's social media.
Starting point is 00:50:01 It's coming around, man. Things are changing. You know, a lot of countries are passing laws now about everybody. Everybody's on the same page now. It's like kids shouldn't have social media before they're 16. That's going to be a thing. I think, you know, we're five years away from like maybe just being banned outright in a certain way, you know?
Starting point is 00:50:19 They have that lawsuit that's going on in L.A. right now. I don't know what happened with it, but the girl, the family is, you know, suing the social media company because of the bullying that the kid went through. Then they ended up, you know, sadly taking their life. And it's like, there's like a, it was something like that, you know. Well, no, I mean, dude, I feel for that kind of shit. Yeah, man. I don't, you know, I mean, look, I, I, I, I,
Starting point is 00:50:40 been on the other end of it of you know and I I know what it feels like and I know people know what it feels like and I talk to friends now that are going through it and it's dude it's it's it's I know you know everyone thinks that if you're famous or if you're uh even not not just famous like if you have your 15 minutes of fame like whatever it is like if you become viral and then people attack you at it they're like yeah but they got it all figured out like nobody has it all I mean, like, you think the island boys are fucking happy? I don't think anyone is mentally equipped no to deal with the, the kind of negativity that's on, like, I was streaming one day on like Tick Toxic and like I only had like 50 people
Starting point is 00:51:26 watching me, you know, and then somebody's on there like, you know, oh man, you, you, you, why, still focus on the haters or whatever it is like that. But I'm like, if I'm looking at my stream and you want me to. Because some people say, hey, man, look at chat. We're talking to you. So it's like, okay, so what do I have to like skip through the negative stuff just to just find a problem of stuff? But what I'm saying is I don't think people understand this. Let's say you're in a room.
Starting point is 00:51:50 If you were in a room and 50 people were talking to you at the same time. Yeah, you don't know what they're saying. What are you supposed to do? Also, they wouldn't be saying negative shit. Yeah. I mean, it's just like I don't think anyone's equipped to deal with. this type of scrutiny that you have to deal with on the internet, even on a small level, man, you know, even if like 10 of your friends started talking shit about you on your account,
Starting point is 00:52:17 you'd be like, oh, what's going on? Imagine if it's like thousands or like, you know, whatever. Or you have, I bet there are certain people that just, at a certain fame level, they probably just don't even look at their stuff anymore. I think, yeah. I mean, people. Is Justin Bieber still looking at with 300 million followers? Is he like...
Starting point is 00:52:35 He catches it sometimes. I know, right. But I mean, but can you imagine being just all day, just being like, oh, my God, 40... Jerry 4745 said this about my performance. Jerry 4745 is a dick, by the way. Yeah. But no, but it's like, yeah, it's, you know, it's, you know, you think about guys like Matt Rife, it's like you go out on stage to fucking however many thousands of people and then
Starting point is 00:52:58 you get off stage and something pisses you off from something that somebody said online. And it's like, bro. that you know but that what I'm saying you gotta try to live in the moment but I know but that is the human no I I bro I know and what I'm saying is
Starting point is 00:53:15 people always say that it's like when somebody says hey take the high road you know or people say you know I don't think people understand that human beings are not meant to be talked about like that
Starting point is 00:53:29 at nauseam like it's just continuous negativity is like I don't don't know if anybody can truly deal with that. That's why we praise people that do. When someone's like, man, it never gets down.
Starting point is 00:53:44 We realize because it's like, it's hard not, it's hard to be like that. Well, especially like everything is at their fingertips. Like people could write like, you know, there are, there are,
Starting point is 00:53:54 some comic, she says she's a comic, but she's not very good. But she wrote me, it's just like, you know, I think he says open mics, but she was like,
Starting point is 00:54:05 go away, you're terrible or whatever. And I'm like, oh my God, like that, like, like she would never say that to, I've seen her before. Yeah. She would never say that to me to my face. And she just, it was, you know, I was like, what time is it even? It was like 1 PM. And I'm like, to send somebody that.
Starting point is 00:54:23 I don't get it. But that's just how she felt in that single moment. I know, but I don't. No, I don't get it either. I don't do that shit. I don't understand how the first thing you're going to say to someone, is just some awful thing. I've heard people talk about,
Starting point is 00:54:40 talk shit about me on podcast, and then I see them, and they're like, hey, Chris. Yeah. I mean, I,
Starting point is 00:54:44 and I go, hey, what's up? But, but, but, but, but,
Starting point is 00:54:48 but, but, but, they, they come and go, bro, they come and go. I mean,
Starting point is 00:54:53 look, I'm, you know, when I, when I, when I, when I, when I,
Starting point is 00:54:57 when I, I was in Ottawa last, I was in Ottawa. And I had a, it was fucking awesome, bro. Those were, you know,
Starting point is 00:55:04 Like, I'm like, nobody knows. Nobody knows what's going on. Nobody knows me. Nobody knows my head in me. Right, right, right. So, you know, you're in charge of that. I know, I know, but it's hard. And I try to teach my kids that, you know?
Starting point is 00:55:18 I know, man. That's, that's my whole point. I mean, it's a difficult, it's a difficult thing, even on a small scale. So sometimes, like, you want to enjoy things, you know, you want to enjoy it. And then you look and you go, oh, God, why are you? Well, really? This is what you want to say to me? Well, yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:34 It is true, too, because then it's like, I just think it was like, that's the first thing you want to say to me is this. Yeah. And then you think the process is like, why are you saying that? I mean, there's a whole community. And then people get together in a community and they make the community about being fucking fucked up. Right, right, right, right, right. So I just like, I don't know. But I don't know.
Starting point is 00:55:59 Like this person who wrote me doesn't, can't sell probably one. ticket you know what I mean and uh you know she says like you you're terrible you need to like stop doing comedy or whatever and I'm just like imagine if I did bro there'll be so many people that are unhappy like so many people would be sad so many a lot of people would have be out of work by the way and she and she's just like no and I'm like oh you you're miserable you're a miserable person. Yeah, and I think the nature of being a comic is like, you know, you were always looking at the world for an angle.
Starting point is 00:56:41 Are we seeing the thing that sparks a joke? So that's why the negativity stays. Yeah, for sure. Because you're analyzing, like, why would you say that? Sometimes when I'm like streaming online and then like, you know, somebody would come in and take, I could say some really awful shit. And I just think to myself, I wonder what that thought process. Is it like, because a lot of people are like, oh, is that Montez?
Starting point is 00:57:02 like, oh, love Golden Day or whatever. And you're just like, okay, thank you. That's your first thing you want to say. And then there are other people who their first thing, in their mind, they must think, oh, man, that's the dude from that show. Oh, I get to say wherever I want to. And say, why is the first thing. Yeah, weird.
Starting point is 00:57:21 So I think about the psychology of it is why I just go, well, that's weird. Yeah. You know? Yeah. And then the thing, too, is like, my favorite thing is like, they say some bullshit. And then they want to be like, oh, man. thought you were a comic oh i'm funny you're not that's my favorite but the fact that i'm a comic is the reason why i'm upset because that was so yeah yeah yeah i thought you're a comic dude
Starting point is 00:57:46 that doesn't make you funny yeah that's what i always say are we supposed to just laugh at anything yeah yeah are you wouldn't say that about a doctor like a doctor could be like you know i thought you were a doctor it's like yeah but you're you can't stab me or no not even that i'm just saying like it'd be like you coming up with a remedy. Hey, uh, here's my. Yeah, yeah. You know, you just put some vest. Doesn't mean you could rub leaves on it.
Starting point is 00:58:09 Yeah. It's like, if you get some vasily and some oregano put it on this and then you go, oh, I thought you were a doctor. That's what it's like. You know, but, you know, I don't know. We will hopefully the, hopefully the things change. You know what I mean? Because it's like, you know, do you ever get disappointed?
Starting point is 00:58:28 You go, you kind of go, okay. Let me go here. Let me, let me, okay. Hey, I love you, man. Hey, oh, this is, oh, and this is. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, they noticed that my fucking legs are weird and my fucking neck is bad or whatever the fuck.
