famous radio host because i think radio is a dying thing you're the last great one you're the you're
the one who made it famous from radio who the the fuck else? Yeah. In this era?
I mean, yeah, I think radio is like one of those rare lanes where it's really not a lot of people who prosper in it.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
You think about it, especially in the black radio space.
I mean, you've got the Tom Joyners, the Doug Banks, the Wendy Williams.
Yeah.
You know, so it's rare in that lane.
But I think you've got people that have established good careers in radio.
That's a great question.
Who is the last one?
He's the last one.
You're the last person to become famous from radio.
Last samurai.
100%.
I've got to give Bobby Bones.

I don't give a shit
I only know Bobby B

New York Times
best selling books

It's true.
It's a dead era.
It's true.
I see guys like you,
I just want to snatch you up
And bring you over to podcasts
Like get the fuck out of there
Get out of that censored
Boss man world
You know what's interesting
What's it called
Keep going
Keep going on this
You guys
I know you guys have a podcast together
The Brilliant Idiots
But you know we do
You know PodTrack right
Yeah sure sure
Like we just cracked PodTrack
The Breakfast Club
He was number 20 on PodTrack
Oh okay so you put that online as well
Yeah we put it out as a podcast
That's a good thing Cause I feel like with radio That's what it is Like people still listen to terrestrial radio PodTrack, The Breakfast Club. He was number 20 on PodTrack. Oh, okay. So you put that online as well. Yeah, we put it out as a podcast.
Because I feel like with radio, that's what it is.
People still listen to terrestrial radio, but you have to go where the people are.
So you have to have the podcast.
You have to have the YouTube following.
You can't wait for people just to come to radio every day. I wish you could swear, though.
So that's the problem with radio.
Well, they do.
That's the thing.
So they release all the interviews they do on Breakfast Club, and those things explode.
Yeah, on YouTube.
And they have all the curses and everything. club and those things explode on youtube and they
have all the curses and everything found out about exactly i think that's where most people globally
yeah would watch and listen i mean yeah right yeah that's what separates this radio this era
of radio from other eras of radio like howard stern didn't have youtube you know i'm saying
if howard stern had youtube it wouldn't be no question he'd still be the motherfucking
guy i mean even though he is the guy Right But he'd still be like
Super super the guy in this era
Right
He's in that paywall
Which is very strange
That serious paywall
That's the strangest paywall
Yeah
Yeah he took the check
But then you get
Financial independence man
Check
It's a big check
Let's be realistic
He was already financially independent
So why'd he do it
The numbers they're throwing at him
Yeah that was a different level
It was 300 million right
Yeah
Well I think that was just initially
Yeah that's the difference
I think he makes like
100 million every year
Or something crazy
So 300 was flat
And then another 100
And then he had so much stock
Like that's the difference
Between like your kids being scraped
And like your great great great
Grandkids being scraped
Right
Yeah but stock in serious
To me is like blockbuster stock
Hang on to that
Blockbuster stock Me Hang on to that.
Blockbuster stock meant something at some point
until Netflix came
the fuck along.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I remember when Netflix
used to have those DVDs
that you would get
in front of the fucking
supermarket.
Yeah, the Redbox shit.
You have to send them back.
People were like,
who's fucking,
I'm not sending this back.
No, I was so funny.
I was home this weekend.
I was in Monkcks Corner, South Carolina.
And there was a Black Panther DVD from the library in my mom's house.
I'm like, what the fuck?
The library?
Wait a minute.
Black Panther is in the original Black Panthers?
No, the movie that just came out.
I was like, yo, she was true from back in the day.
Okay.
That's an original Black Panther.
I'm like, who got the Black Panther DVD That they checked out from the library
And have not bought it back yet
You didn't even bring it back to the library yet
Nah you don't have to
Like
What are they really gonna do
Why would you bring the Black Panther from the library
Cause you wanted it
And it was there
And you were at the library
I'm still trying to understand
Why you call it library
What is it
Library
I don't fucking know
I didn't graduate college
Library
It's like
Library
Yeah
It's one of those words
you know
don't bail him out
you know what I'm saying
library
like especially
you ever talk to people in Texas
they say especially
or X
but everyone
even like George Bush
when he was president
would say especially
yeah
that's a Texas thing
yeah
yeah I think a lot of it
has to do with region
because I still say
screed screed strong
okay yeah wow that's the shock and lie Yeah, I think a lot of it has to do with region, because I still say Screat Screat Strong.
Okay.
Yeah.
That's the shock and lie.
That's how I pronounce it.
Screat Screat Strong.
I get it.
I get it.
Scrumptious.
Yeah.
I say pacifically.
Oh, pacifically.
Pacifically instead of specifically.
As long as everybody knows, then it's fun.
That's the point.
If you understand what a person is saying, why correct them?
Right.
He's being a dick. Well, it's fun. That's the point. If you understand what a person is saying, why correct them? Right. He's being a dick.
Well, it's like dialects.
Like, my grandparents were from Sicily, and they would talk in dialects. And even people that knew Italian wouldn't know what the fuck they were saying.
Yeah.
Like, people that knew pure Italian.
It's some weird, like, pig Latin type shit.
Yeah.
You know?
I mean, my mom's Scottish.
Like, if you listen to real Scottish people talk, you don't understand what the fuck they're
talking about. Oh, that accent. understand what the fuck they're talking about.
Oh, that accent.
The way they roll their words together.
Thick.
And then they get them drunk.
Oof.
It's impossible.
Oof.
Where you from, Joe?
I was born in New Jersey, and I grew up mostly in Boston, but really all over the country.
Because you've got a lot of stubborn sensibilities.
Before we started the podcast, you was talking about all the hunting that you do.
I didn't get into that until 2012. why because i was thinking about being a vegetarian
i was like i i was watching these animal rights videos right pita videos and i was like i don't
want to participate in this factory farming shit it just it's fucked up you watch these
pigs slammed into these cages together and cows and chickens i was like this is inhumane right
it's insane you decided to go out and start killing them yourself?
I decided one of two things.
Either I was going to try hunting, and either I was going to become a vegetarian, or I was
going to become a hunter.
And so I became a hunter.
I did it.
I killed a deer.
I ate it.
I was like, this is perfect.
I love this.
Oh, I'm trying to figure out.
This makes sense.
I'm trying to figure out the thought process.
You watched videos where you saw that it was inhumane for these animals to be dying.
No, no, no.
And that made you want to kill them?
Factory farming.
Factory farming.
Look, every animal dies.
They don't live forever and become angels.
They live in the wild.
When you hunt, you dip your feet into the wild.
You go out there and you fair chase.
You go find them.
You track them.
You stay downwind.
You get in a good position.
You kill them.
And then you eat them. Right. them. You stay downwind. You get in a good position. You kill them. And then you eat them.
Right.
And it's a different animal.
When you're eating that, like if I eat an elk steak, I know that I killed that.
It's delicious.
Yeah.
I know that.
I was there.
Can I see a picture of this elk?
I'm still trying to imagine what it is because I understand deer and I understand moose.
It's a giant deer.
Those antlers are from the elk.
Those antlers are on like an 800-pound animal.
How tall is it?
It's huge.
They're big.
Like six feet?
Oh, taller.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Elk and mushroom.
It's big.
Moose is crazy.
The first time I saw a moose, it was like that scene in Jurassic Park where Jeff Goldblum
looks out the Jeep and sees the dinosaur.
I was like, you can't believe how big a moose is.
Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen a moose in person.
I've seen an elk in person.
They're double an elk
They're double the size of an elk
Yeah yeah we need to go hunting man
You want to go hunting
I'm being dead serious about this
I would love to take you hunting
Camping and hunting
Where it's one or the other
Well you could do both
Okay
Or you could camp
Or you could hunt rather
And then stay in a nice lodge
That's the move
Yeah but also
I kind of want to do like the
The full outdoor
Yeah because sometimes I watch those shows
On like Nat Geo
Or something like that
And it's
They're just living off the land
And they gotta like make a hut
Or make like a yurt
You know
They make it out of snow
Yeah don't do that
Don't do that
No
But what for
What if like two days
Like a cool
You want
What you want is like a real tent
With a real sleeping bag
Yeah
So you stay warm
And you're healthy
And you're not worried about
Fucking freezing to death or
anything weird like that yeah and make sure you have water filters so you could drink out of a
stream if you really want to do that yeah yeah i want to try you should try hunting in new york
like nobody's ever done that like you can hunt rats i'm serious think about all them big ass
rats in new york like nobody's ever done that i'm not lie. You'll probably get a lot of attention for that shit.
Bro, back in the day, you could go to 125th Street in Spanish Harlem, and you could buy pigeons.
People were catching pigeons, and they were selling them and trying to front like they were exotic pigeons.
Bullshit.
I swear to God in my life.
Well, you know, pigeons were brought over here for food.
That's what squab is.
What the fuck is squab?
Squab is like a bougie restaurant item, and it's actually young pigeons. Really? Yeah, that's what squab is like a like a bougie restaurant item and it's actually young pigeons
really yeah that's what that's what squab is yeah i didn't know that all pigeons all the pigeons you
see in the united states are all brought in from somewhere else for food and then they release to
become feral they're like the wild hogs of the bird world what are young rats called that are
used for food it's a good question who uses young rats for food i don't know but there's a there's a comic that rats documentary no this is well this is just the dogs that hunt
rats in new york oh yeah i don't believe that shit what do you mean you don't believe it that
they're really guys sending their dogs out to go get rats oh they are oh for what there's so many
assholes yeah i guess i mean they're not gonna fix it there's no way to fix it but like jack
russell terriers they fuck rats up they're designed to fuck fix it. There's no way to fix it. But Jack Russell Terriers, they fuck rats up. They're designed to fuck rats up.
But there's got to be people who live up north in New York who have the same desire to hunt.
They just don't go down south.
So why not go hunt the rats?
They hunt deer.
New York has a lot of deer.
Jersey.
Yeah, Jersey.
Jersey got a lot of deer.
I live in Jersey, and that's one of the reasons I love Jersey, because I'm from South Carolina.
So I'm used to seeing deers and possums and just different types of wildlife running through the streets.
That's why I like living in Jersey.
Yeah, Jersey's an unusual place.
Jersey has more black bears per capita than any state in the United States.
I don't know if that's a fact, but I believe you because I've seen them myself.
Yeah, they're everywhere.
You've seen bears on your property?
Not on my property, but when I used to stay with my aunt in the Poconos,
the bears used to come in her backyard because there was a scream in the backyard
and they would come in there
and just grab fish out of the screen.
They killed a kid.
One bear killed a kid a couple years ago
from one of the colleges.
What college was it?
The one near New Brunswick?
What was it?
Rutgers.
You never seen the video in Jersey
of the walking bear?
The bear that would walk on two feet
through people's backyard?
Yeah.
It had a bad front paw.
That was so bad.
No.
Hell yeah.
That shit happens
There it is
Look at it
Look at the video
The bear walking around
Oh yeah
Look at that
See that's a
Bigfoot
Yeah that's
You know who believes in Bigfoot
Yeah
You have a believer
In the studio right now
Who believes in Bigfoot
Do you really
Yeah absolutely
Oh okay
No no
100% believes in Bigfoot
But you know why I believe in Bigfoot
Because of shit like mooses.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm serious.
If you see a fucking species like a moose, you're like, my God.
Why would you not believe?
Look at that shit.
At some point in life, somebody was trying to explain that to somebody else.
And he was like, man, get the fuck out of here.
Right now, when he's trying to explain it to me
Look at the size of that goddamn thing
Yeah that's insane
And elegant
Look at those legs
Work
They'll fuck you up too
Those are the rare deer species
That will fucking stomp you to death
Yeah they're used to dealing with wolves
If they think you're a threat
They just run up on you and stomp you to death
Why don't you believe in Bigfoot?
Well I actually did a television show
Where I went hunting for them
You were going to do it on Finding Bigfoot? No no no I did a television show where i went hunting for them you were gonna do
it on finding me no no no i did a show called joe rogan questions everything we spent a whole week
in the pacific northwest talking to bigfoot hunters yeah we camped out there me and duncan
trussell went and interviewed duncan scientists and interviewed all these different archaeologists
all these different people that didn't believe and did believe it was a real animal at one point
in time yes i don't think it exists now i think it existed it's just a primate in the fucking woods yeah oh
okay you don't think it exists oh i thought you believed that it exists now i did up to a certain
point but i was like in this era with all the cameras and everything else somebody would have
caught one okay good yeah i was a little worried no i was like no no yeah i don't believe in it
now i believe it existed at some point but but I don't believe it exists anymore.
Let me tell you something.
Charlamagne has this amazing power to manifest shit.
Okay?
So I see how it could lend itself.
When you believe something so much, it becomes real.
Right.
Right?
I can see how it manifests itself into things like Bigfoot.
Like, you believe in things.
I mean, Sasquatch, it's not a far-fetched idea
It's literally just a primate in the woods
I'm just saying
When you were young
And you believed
That you were Teen Wolf
Yeah
That was true
No, no, no
I did
I did
I was in third grade
I did
But he believed
That his ears actually changed shape
No, they did
I was sitting at the lunch table
I was sitting at the lunch table And I was sitting at the lunch table and I was telling
everybody I was going to turn into this werewolf
at lunch time.
And I was saying this for like a week straight
and we was all sitting at the table and I was
just sitting there like, it's going to happen.
It's happening. And my
ears actually went from
round to pointy for like two seconds.
And when all the kids
at the table saw it and jumped up
and ran
so they fucked up
my concentration
so if I had kept
that concentration going
I probably would have
turned full fledged
werewolf in that moment
maybe levitated
possible
I've done that before
really
oh yeah I used to
I grew up Jehovah Witness
so I used to leave
the kingdom hall
and I would walk
outside of the kingdom hall
and I would like
jump in the air
and be looking down
at the kingdom hall
and I'd stay up there
for a while and then I would come down but here's the thing he's not he's not
doing bits right he really believes this shit i'm just telling you what happened in my life
if you believe it you believe it if you don't you don't memories a strange thing
ah you think it's one of those like you recreate the past well memories a strange thing like you
you can believe something and know something to be true when it didn't actually happen you can absolutely do that
i mean there's what what you have people have memories in their head that never happened
you have memories that people positioned in your head they've proven that you can talk
someone into a memory you can change someone's memory that's why it's particularly dangerous
for kids when you know there's a whole case where they were talking kids into saying that their teachers molested them
Yeah, and all these people like lost their careers lost their lives turned out was all 100% made up
But those kids believed it they believed when they were telling them that they were molested. They believed it. Yeah, that's why
What is it called when you give that information to the police? What is it called when they like interrogate you?
We say interrogation can be bullshit.
They coerce you.
Yeah, they coerce you.
Well, there was a whole article I was reading the other day about why people make false confessions.
Why?
They just get talked into believing that they actually did something.
You're scared to death.
If you're a kid, especially a young kid from the hood, and you're like 15, 16 years old,
and the police are like, you're going to jail for 20 years if you don't tell us what we need to know.
You don't fucking know no better.
Not only that, they put you under duress.
They put you in a room
They sit you across
From a position of authority
And this person questions you
You start talking
You start saying things
That aren't true
You've seen Beyond Scared Scrape
They tell you
You're going to get 20 years
And get butt fucked
For 15 of them
So the first five
15
They let you kind of
Settle in for the first five
Yeah
You know the butt fucking coming
Let that butt
Get nice and tight Let that butt get nice and tight.
Let that butt dry age.
Five-year birthday.
Dry age.
Like some elk.
Listen, you might go in underage.
These criminals got morals inside you.
They're going to rape you, but not until you're 18.
Come on now.
They're not monsters.
Listen, when I was young, I used to have a red tractor trailer.
It was a red plastic trailer with a farmer on top of it.
It was like one of those hard plastic trailers.
That farmer used to get off that trailer and fuck with me.
And I took it in the yard one day, put kerosene on it, and set it on fire.
And in my mind, I remember hearing that farmer scream.
My mom will even tell you the story of how I used to always talk about how this fucking farmer used to come off of this tractor and fuck me and she was she saw me set it on fire
and i thought i was crazy until years later i met uh tiffany haddish and she said she had
experiences where her teddy bears used to come to life and fuck with her so i'm just saying
i'm just saying shit happens all this did it happen and i haven't heard this did it happen
at night when did it happen? I don't remember
I can't remember
I don't remember like the details
Of when it was at night
Or during the day
That's one of those things
They're trying to figure out
With UFO abductions
Okay
You know almost
All those UFO abductions
Happen while people are sleeping
And they think what's happening
Is your brain is releasing
Endogenous psychedelic chemicals
And it's forcing you
To have these hallucinations
And that you really do believe You're taking aboard these ufos and gone away but if someone
is watching you with a camera nothing actually happens question people swear by it have you ever
had one of those dreams where it feels as if someone's holding you down to the bed that's
the hag the hag's riding you i mean that's a term they really call it a sleep paralysis but growing
up in south carolina they would say the hag was riding you
Okay
What the fuck is that?
You would either put a
Straw broom at your door
Or you would take salt
And sprinkle salt at your door
Because when the hag
Enteres your room
You got to pick up
Every kernel of salt
So by the time he picks up
Every kernel of salt
It's fucking daytime
What is a hag?
A hag was like
These little old women
That they say would come
Ride people in the middle
Of the night
Whoa I think I've seen them before But it really looks like Just a shadowy figure And it's the same feeling Like these little old women that they say would come ride people in the middle of the night.
Whoa.
I think I've seen them before, but it really looks like just a shadowy figure.
And it's the same feeling.
You get that feeling like your body is frozen.
You can't move.
Your eyes are open.
Yes.
But you feel like you're talking, but nobody hears you.
They say that's the hag ride.
What do they say that is?
Like what the scientists say?
Sleep paralysis.
Yeah.
The blood's not flowing in your body. It's like when you're sitting on the toilet too long and your fucking leg goes your legs go yeah yeah i think it's a
psychological thing i think your your brain is just not sending signals to your body but you
want to move and you just don't dude i gotta move but i can't yeah no that shit's frightening i had
that before and i've had that before and i had uh when i woke up it was this you've seen the movie
signs yeah so it was this creature that looked like he was from the movie signs but it was purple and black and it was standing over
me and i couldn't move and so i was making noises trying to get it to go away and as the sun came up
it just faded away now that i don't know if it was a dream or an actual visit from uh extraterrestrials
it could be the thing about extraterrestrials you believe believe in them? Well. You know I believe in them. Well, you believe in everything.
The reality is.
You believe in toys that can harass you as a child.
There's no evidence but the numbers of humans.
I mean, the numbers of planets, rather, that could support humans.
They're pretty, just what we've documented so far is pretty interesting.
Just what they know about the thousands of planets they discovered.
There's hundreds that could possibly support human life. and then there's hundreds of billions of galaxies so the
idea that we're the only one not only that neil degrasse tyson explained this to me this is a
mind fucking half that the universe is so big that not only is there another you out there that has done everything exactly as you've done to every pause like that
pause every pause down to the second yeah an infinite number of times yeah yeah you're talking
about is it called the uh infinite in an infinite universes there's this exact conversation happening
people look exactly like that because infinity implies that there could be a million infinite
variations there's one where you get up right now
and you have to take a piss.
Right, right.
And you run out of the room.
Or Charlemagne's there,
you're here, I'm there.
There's one where you get up
and you're mad
that we don't believe you
that you saw Bigfoot or something.
Yeah.
That kind of shit.
Yeah.
The idea that
when you think of infinity.
Right.
We think about it
as being really big.
It's not.
It's impossible
to put in your head
that infinite,
infinite universes, like the size of the universe 14 billion light years apart infinite numbers of those not only
that they think that inside every galaxy is a supermassive black hole and inside that black
hole may be another universe with hundreds of billions of galaxies with hundreds of billions
of black holes inside each one of those hundreds of billions of galaxies hundreds of billions of black holes that it's fractal and that it's
impossible for you to even conceive yeah i think it's very so you're saying just based on the
numbers there has to be something it has to be now the question is you gotta be to think that
we're the only life in this i don't think we're the only life in the universe i'm just saying like
whether or not it's reached us it well yeah i don't think it's
reached us and if it has reached us it's like they have to find a way to bend time right because time
is the biggest issue no i'm gonna tell you what the problem like we're earthlings right yeah and
if you look at how diverse the earth is like there's different species of shit in the woods
different species of shit in the water different species of shit in the jungle different species
of shit in the sky why wouldn't the earth be i mean the universe be just as diverse yeah and we're assuming sure it is we're assuming we're the smartest life form in the
universe no no no i'm not at all and sure it is all i'm saying is life has an end right what is
the the oldest species on the earth right now what if turtles lived like 200 or some shit like that
what who lives more than freeman is the oldest species on the goddamn planet.
So let's say it's 200, 300 years, right?
Let's say that's the max.
Now we have 300 years
to travel millions of light years away
to get to another galaxy
to see other planets
to see if they have some shit.
And they have the same for us.
So let's say there is another species
that somehow found a way
to take the consciousness
that they have
and put it in
a robot that can then last for thousands of years then they would have the opportunity to come here
but we're limited by time right you will die before you get somewhere like we can go to mars
we can't come back i think we're i think we're basing that off our intelligence there might be
a species in this universe that can fly to Earth the way we fly to L.A.
But that's what I'm saying.
They would have to bend time.
Not necessarily.
What they could do is fold time.
Or fold it, whatever.
You know what I mean.
Create that wormhole effect
where you're going,
where instead of it's not linear,
it's whatever.
It's in some movie.
The idea is you take time.
It was in Event Horizon.
They talked about how they did that.
Remember that movie?
Yeah, and there was another one too
with Matthew McConaughey.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Interstellar.
Interstellar, yeah, where they get into, like, space time.
Space time is really interesting, right?
It's like the faster you go, the less you age, right?
So if somebody is in a plane flying around.
In comparison to someone here.
On the earth, right?
So if someone is flying around the earth in a plane versus us sitting on earth, they will age fractionally less, right? So if you just increase their speed and decrease ours,
or keep ours at the same, they will, let's say, not age at all
compared to us aging like 30 years.
Even crazier.
Brian Cox, I went to see his Cosmos exhibit.
Wait, that's the astronaut?
He's a physicist.
Okay.
From CERN, from the Large Hadron Collider.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He has a bunch of different podcasts and shows.
He said that if you were born and right next to you,
like your mother and you, both put on a watch
at the moment you were born,
and then you check that watch 30 years later,
if you have a perfect watch, it was never out of time,
your watch would have a different time than her watch
because you have gone through time differently than she has.
Fractionally. I don't understand fractionally because the amount of the how fast you travel it you you you experience time in a different way the path you take in life the the different
terrain you travel over the earth all those factors play in to how much time has passed
let's say you live on the top of a mountain and she lives at the bottom.
You're actually traveling at a faster rate, right?
Because it's no different than like, let's say there's a ball on a tether, right?
And you're just swinging it around in a circle, right?
The ball at the end is actually going faster than your hand in the middle swinging around.
Gotcha.
Right?
So since you're going fast, you're actually aging slower.
And we're talking about fractions of seconds. Gotcha. Right? So since you're going fast, you're actually aging slower. And we're talking about fractions of seconds.
Yeah.
But over the course of time, it proves that everyone experiences time at a slightly different
rate, which proves Einstein's theory that if you do travel very fast in a spaceship
and then come back, you would look at your brother who was your age and now he's 100
years old and you're only 30.
So I think I figured it out how we can time travel.
Or not time travel, but I think I figured it out how we can time travel. Or not time travel,
but I think I figured it out.
All right.
So we're trying to create,
okay, and again,
I don't know shit,
but this is just me like,
you know, pontificating.
Brilliant idiot logic.
This is brilliant idiot shit
right here.
Okay.
So what we have to do
is go faster than the speed of light
in order to time travel.
I don't know how to do that just yet.
But what I think we can do is
we're trying to use like rockets
to propel us at a certain mile per hour
to get close to the speed of light.
Fuck the rockets.
Why don't we use light as wind and create a sail that harnesses light?
And that sail will naturally take us the same speed or as close as we possibly could get to the speed of light.
They did that in a movie called Sunshine.
I'm a fucking genius.
You've seen this shit, bro?
I'm a fucking genius, Jamie.
You saw Sunshine and didn't tell anybody.
Where the fuck is that?
Sunshine?
How could you see that movie?
I don't even know what an elk is.
Science fiction.
Come on.
Come on, Joe.
It's a science fiction movie.
I'm talking to Bob Lazar tonight.
That was the guy I was telling you.
I wanted to bring you to dinner.
I'm going.
You too as well if you want to come.
He's a guy who worked at Area 51.
I didn't even know if we could talk about this today.
He's doing the podcast tomorrow.
I believe in Area 51.
I wasn't going to bring it up.
Oh, Area 51's real, but this guy literally worked on what he says are alien spacecrafts.
Spacecraft that sail on sunshine could be the next big thing.
Bro, you should work for NASA.
Jamie.
This is public school education.
He can get you a job at Trump Space Force
that's it
and I don't want to do
any of the math
I just want to throw
the ideas out there
and I think I got it
10 mil
this is a legit
Space Force shirt
from Trump's
from Trump Tower
Tim Dillon bought me this
yo shout out to Tim
I love Tim
this is real
this is
with the real fucking Space Force
this is the logo
that's hot
dude
I thought you got that
from Target or something
I didn't know.
I did.
I was like,
I missed that cartoon
and that whole movie.
I went to fucking Space Force.
This is the real Space Force.
This fucking goofy shit.
You said you had a friend
who works on alien spacecraft?
Oh, I don't know him.
That's what I told you tonight.
I'm meeting him tonight.
He's on the podcast tomorrow.
But he worked at Area 51.
Is he allowed to talk
about that shit
without getting killed?
He is because he's been
talking about it for decades.
Really?
Yeah, and they've tried to discredit him.
He's very controversial.
A lot of people think he's full of shit.
There's a recent documentary by Jeremy Corbel,
and the more you look at the documentary, he knows too many things.
He knows too many things that prove that he absolutely worked at Area 51.
He got arrested for bringing people to a lookout peak
to look over
where the area
where they would launch
these spaceships.
And he's got video
of these things
flying through the air
doing all these maneuvers
that no conventional spacecraft
could do in 1980,
whatever the fuck it was
where he got arrested.
They must have some type
of NDA
with extraterrestrials.
Where they don't talk about it?
Yeah, I feel like
the U.S. government
or just governments in general
throughout the world have some type of NDA with these extraterrestrials. The NDA is we'll kill? Yeah, I feel like the U.S. government or just governments in general throughout the world
have some type of NDA
with these extraterrestrials.
The NDA is we'll kill you.
I don't know.
That's how it works.
They probably use the same one
Leonardo DiCaprio uses on his girlfriends.
Dude, he's got the greatest NDA
in the history of the game.
For now.
Holy shit.
NDAs mean shit anymore.
Nobody gives a fuck about NDAs, bro.
You can pay people
and they don't care.
They'll come out
and talk about it later.
We had Lisa Ann on a podcast, right?
The porn star?
Yeah, called Flagrant 2, right?
And Lisa Ann came on and she was talking about NDAs and how stupid women are for obeying them.
And I was like, what are you talking about?
And she's like, what do they have to lose?
They don't have any money.
Exactly.
So she's like, you have a bunch of fucking heels in your apartment.
You think that Leonardo DiCaprio is going to take your heels?
You could break any fucking NDA, but for whatever reason, they get scared.
You pay a woman a half a million dollars, tell her to keep her mouth closed.
She breaks the NDA.
In the NDA, it says she has to pay you back.
We want money.
Exactly.
You're going to be waiting on that money forever.
We want money.
My favorite one is Bill O'Reilly.
He had to pay a lady $32 million.
There's no pussy worth that.
I need to see what she looks like. Can we look at this woman?
I need to see that.
Bill is into some wild
shit.
There's no picture of this woman?
I need to see $32 million pussy.
I would love to.
I would love to see what she
looks like. $32 million.
He agreed to it.
He must have did something have He must have did something
He must have did something
He didn't want nobody
To even remotely hear about
Bill's getting pegged
Bill's getting pegged
100% getting
It's not even about
What actually happened
It's about what the person
Said they did to you
That can ruin your reputation
She's got pics
Especially in 2019
She's got pics
She's got pics
She's got videos
Something's going in
Bill's ass guaranteed
DNA She's got his shit Under her pics She's got videos Something's going in Bill's ass Guaranteed DNA
She's got his shit
Under her thumbnail
I guarantee
And then a guy like Bill
Has to keep a certain
Like I guess
You know
Standard about himself
Right
You have to look at him
A certain way
In order to listen
To what he's saying
Yes
In order to take his
His information
You know
Correctly I guess
Seriously
Seriously
Yeah yeah yeah
So he could lose
all that equity
in his audience
if he's out there
doing wild shit.
He did.
He actually did.
He didn't help him.
He's gone anyway.
Is it over for Bill?
Well, he's not on
Fox News anymore.
He's podcasting now.
He was the number one guy
and they were like,
not worth it.
Yeah, man.
That's why you got to
go.
Take out Bill
to fuck out of here.
Y'all be talking about
Cancel culture
Bill really got canceled
For real
Game over
In a big way
And I think he does do
Some type of broadcasting now
But nobody cares
Well he
Let out a book
And the book was
Number one New York Times
Bestseller
After Fox
Yeah he does
His history books
Yes
You know
I don't even think
He writes them
I think he just
Puts his name on it
I wonder about a guy like Bill though
Because think about it
Like you started your own platform
You know what I'm saying
And people really care about your voice
Did people ever really care about Bill's voice?
That's the thing right
Old white people did
Nah but check it right
So it's like sometimes you become a mouthpiece
For a network
Or for an ideology they believe in
And this is the difference
This is how you find out if people really fuck with you
The second you leave that network It's like when people leave espn and you never hear
about them again it's like oh you thought you were bigger than espn right you thought you were
bigger than the sports right fuck out of here they just want you to say strike ball that's it yeah
so i think we learned that bill really didn't have all that cachet that we thought we had
that's why like the espPN is a good analogy.
That's why you got to give people
like Skip Bayless props.
You got to give Jamel Hill props.
They can go other places
and people still care
about what they have to say.
Even if it's just in tweets.
Right.
I don't even know
what Bill O'Reilly's
Twitter handle is.
I imagine something
like Bill O'Reilly.
I'm sure it is.
But you don't ever see him.
He's never known for like,
oh, Bill O'Reilly said this
on social media.
When's the last time
you heard Bill O'Reilly
say something? He might not even be on. That made some news. say something he might not even be on they made some news yeah he might not
even be on it's tough bro yeah he's podcasting from his like apartment or something like that
dude is there's no background nothing really yeah it's bad he's not even wearing like suits
he's got like a nasa rugby shirt dude it's bill o'rogan bro
bro we gotta look him up we gotta see the girl he fucked in him and see how they're living right Dude It's Bill O'Rogan bro Jesus Christ Dude
Bro we gotta look him up
We gotta see the girl
He fucked and him
And see how they're living right now
I think guys like that
They say we'll just lay low
For a couple years
And then someone will
Scoop you up again
But there's only one Fox
And when Fox lets you go
If you're one of those guys
Those neocon guys
Like you don't really have
Any place else to go
And he's too old
To really understand
The landscape of like How to navigate this new internet
space.
Because you've got plenty of conservative voices who don't have those big platforms.
The Candace Owens, the Tommy Lawrence.
Ben Shapiro's not on TV.
Look at him.
Wow, no makeup.
He really is.
Look at the undershirt.
He's wearing a nurse's outfit underneath that button down.
He's got no pants on for sure.
He guaranteed.
Yeah, that's dad all right.
Yeah, his balls are sweaty. Yo, I think that is the Space Force shirt's got no pants on for sure. He guaranteed. Yeah, that's dad O'Reilly.
Yo, I think that is a Space Force shirt for real under the button-up.
It really is.
Look at it.
Dude, what size is that button-up shirt?
Did that chick take his wardrobe?
He's got a fat gut now.
He's been drinking.
No, this is not good.
That's weird. No spin news.
Watch the full no spin news.
Nobody gives a fuck.
Bill O'Reilly.com.
No, we need to get Some new shirts
Or they got
581,000 views
On whatever video that is
What is this
It's on Twitter
There are no charges
You are presumed innocent
In this country
This is not what
The left wants
What is this about
What is he ranting about
That's April 19th
But maybe we trip
The Mueller report
Scroll down
How many people
Are watching that
How many people
Have him on Twitter
How many followers
3 million followers
He has
And that video
Had 581,000 views
Can you look at him
Right there in that video
Right now go down
Now scroll down
Do you think he's doing
The orange thing
To reflect Trump
100%
He's bringing him in
What
Look at that
That's 100% the orange thing
He looks like turmeric
Yeah but he don't look
Anything like he looks
In real life
That's like an Instagram hoe
One of those weird filters.
Like, look at him there.
Look at him there.
That's Fashion Nova Bill.
Look at him there.
Now look at him there.
Come on, bro.
If you met him in a restaurant,
you'd be like,
wait a minute.
You gotta update
your picture, son.
That's why you had to pay
that woman $32 million
to talk to this guy.
She's fucking disappointed.
Yo, go down.
It keeps getting more orange.
Go down.
Bro, that's hilarious.
Yo, maybe we trip's hilarious maybe people are watching
they're definitely watching it he's got 500 000 views yeah they're definitely watching it but now
he's in the vacuum but it's those crazy old white people that live in kansas yeah but they don't
have twitter hey man a win is a win you know i'm saying if you got 580 000 people that can watch
when you put up a video and you can still get paid for it i'm cool with that that's true you
know i'm saying i think we put too much emphasis
on like whatever main screen.
There's no such thing as main screen
because there's not just one screen anymore.
Right.
Now it's over.
That's why,
and shout out to Brandon Shaw,
that's why we wanted you guys to connect
because I feel like you guys represent
the most,
I think you are both
the most influential people in media,
right?
And you represent- Don't put that kind of pressure on me. Well, I think- Don't put that evil on me, Ricky Bobby. I think you are both the most influential people in media, right? And you represent-
Don't put that kind of pressure on me.
Well, I think-
Don't put that evil on me,
Ricky Bobby.
I think it's important.
I think it's important.
No, because I think
you guys represent,
and I think the illusion was,
before I went on,
before I went on here
for the first time,
the illusion was
that these things operated
in separate spheres, right?
That there were
these different vacuums,
like the Charlemagne world, right?
And then the Rogan world.
And then I went on,
and I found all these people that knew me
from our podcast that also listened to yours, right?
So it turned out in that moment,
I was like, oh shit,
it's not as fractured as people think.
No.
Everybody's aware.
Yeah, people have always been hitting me for years,
like, yo, you gotta go on Joe Rogan,
you gotta go on Joe Rogan,
you gotta go on Joe Rogan.
So it's clearly that the worlds collide.
It's all interconnected.
Especially this internet wave that we're on right now.
The internet wave, people are craving this type of information.
They're craving the type of interviews you guys are doing and talking to the people you guys are talking to, right?
And I don't know.
For me, this is really cool just to see this.
Well, people like the fact that everybody could do everybody's show.
It's not like Jimmy Kimmel never does the Seth Meyers show.
Thank God.
But you know what I mean?
It's like everything is not, that world is very disconnected.
Whereas this world, the internet world is like,
like with the comics and podcasts, there's no competition.
Everybody helps everybody.
Everybody supports everybody.
No, you help everybody.
I mean, that's one thing I've always noticed about your platform.
You've always brought on up-and-coming comedians who just needed that extra push for people to know who the fuck they are.
You know what I'm saying?
That's important.
I saw you had Miss Pat on yesterday.
I love her.
Shout out to Miss Pat.
How can you not love Miss Pat?
Shout out to Miss Pat, bro.
Genuinely funny.
Miss Pat is a force of nature.
Force of nature.
And her story is insane.
Like, you can only take a story that sad
and that tragic
and turn it into a sitcom
she was talking yesterday
she was talking yesterday
about her ex-husband
who shot her in the titty
in the titty
shot her in the head
shot her in the titty
shot her in the back of the head
shot her in the titty
got her pregnant
was fucking her when she was 12
got her pregnant when she was 14
with two kids by the time
she was 16
she had an abortion
when she was 16
with his third kid
she called him up to try to get him to apologize to her he wouldn't apologize to her so she forgave
him and she said it released like this huge weight off of her shoulder she was talking about it like
you can't believe her story i'm not with that she's laughing about of course not yeah i'm not i
got yeah that whole forgiveness thing we talk about that all the time i'm not, yeah, that whole forgiveness thing. We talk about that all the time. I'm not with that whole, like, I forgive you and it makes me feel better.
I'm fine not fucking with you.
I'm fine saying, fuck this guy, fuck this person.
Like, I don't care.
Like, why do I have to forgive you?
When I saw, you know, the Emmanuel movie just came out.
You know, the shooting that happened in Charleston, South Carolina.
And, like, all of the family members forgave Dylann Roof.
And I'm like, there's one dude in there that's like,
fuck him, he killed my mama.
I'm not forgiving him.
I'm like, yes.
Like that's a perfectly fine emotion.
You go talk to your therapist about it.
You allow yourself to feel like, yes, fuck him.
Why do we feel like we got to forgive?
And a weight comes off our shoulders.
I think for her, it was like she was carrying it around her whole life.
I think for her, it just helped her.
And she knew he was a piece of shit.
When she was talking to him, she said to him, you were fucking me when I was 12 years old.
And he literally said this to her, your mind, your body wasn't 12.
That's what he said to her.
And she was just like, so she decided after that, I'm not going to invest my energy in this.
I'm going to let it go.
Let it go.
So she just doesn't fuck with him, doesn't talk with him. to that like i'm not going to invest my energy in this i'm going to let it go yeah let it go so
she just doesn't fuck with him doesn't talk with him but she doesn't she doesn't carry around the
hate that was a it was poisoning her yeah i get it and i understand the power of forgiveness there's
a reason why it exists right there's a reason why it's you know it's still here for thousands of
years this idea of hey let's forgive so that we could feel better right i think i think i think
usually things get weeded out If they don't work
Well it's hard to forgive
Someone who doesn't feel bad
About what they did
It's one thing
If you're like
Man I fucked up
I'm sorry
Please forgive me
Yeah
You're like
I get it
You're a person
Human beings make mistakes
I forgive you
Yeah but
But if someone is like
You weren't 12
With your mind
Your body
And he's talking about
Fucking you
When you were 12 years old
Like I have an 11 year old daughter
The idea of a grown man
Fucking her
No we gotta go bow hunting
Makes me violent
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah you're not gonna forgive him
No
You might fuck him up
And then after you fuck him up
You'll be like
You know what it's all good
You know what I'm saying
After you put a fucking arrow
In his fucking gut
In his head that's it
Oh yeah it's all good
So maybe forgiveness
Is like misconstrued
Maybe you're not actually
Forgiving the person
And letting them off
For what they did
But maybe you're just Removing them from your consciousness People forgive maybe you're not actually forgiving the person and letting them off for what they did but you maybe you're just removing them from your consciousness people
forgive when they're not going to do yeah people forgive when they have realized i'm not
going to slap the out it's like when someone huge punches you in the face you're like i forgive you
you know what you got it i'm attaching myself to jesus right because i can't carry this no more
mike says it spits in your face.
I forgive you, Mike.
We don't know what we do.
We don't know what we do sometimes.
We make mistakes.
We all make mistakes out here.
In the street when somebody gets punched in the face,
you're like, yo, all right, you got it.
That's forgiveness.
That's forgiveness.
Listen, it's forgiveness.
I'm a Christian.
I'm not going to be out here fighting you, Mike.
You're not going to attach me to the worst parts of my nature.
By the way, that's probably when I would get to that point of forgiveness when you want to do something
to somebody so bad but when you get the opportunity
you don't and you realize it's
not that important to you then
at that moment I might be like you know what
God bless him man I wish him the best
when you guys have like surpassed people in your
career that were pieces of shit to you as you were
coming up did
did the anger that you had towards them
totally leave your body?
No, absolutely not.
You hold on to that shit.
I write books about it.
You're like Jordan at the press conference.
I'm more than allowed to forever.
I need you.
And by the way, God bless you,
but the facts are the facts.
You did fire me.
Right.
You know, Boogie D from Philly.
This guy is wild.
You did fire me for no fucking reason.
You did.
Boogie D.
It happened.
I know you're listening.
Hey, Boogie, what you doing right now?
Boogie, how you feeling?
He does radio in St. Louis.
He does?
Yeah, yeah, because they told him that if he fired me
and whatever he bought in didn't work,
they was going to send him back to St. Louis
because he had moved from St. Louis to be the PD in Philly.
And so he fired me.
What he bought in didn't work.
Right.
And they kept their word.
And they sent his ass back.
Back to St. Louis.
It was probably the best thing for him, though.
Yeah.
But everything worked out for everybody.
He's living a great life in St. Louis.
I'm living a great life.
Life.
Have you seen that Jordan, what is it?
Yes.
What did he get into?
Yes.
Not the author.
What was it?
It was Hall of Fame.
Oh, yeah, the Hall of Fame speech.
He wouldn't stop talking about journalists.
Bro.
He remembered every single thing.
And that was his, he's Bernard Hopkins.
Remember?
Remember Bernard Hopkins, the fighter?
He needed to be the villain.
He needed to be the heel for the motivation.
Y'all don't use that?
Y'all don't have people that shitting on y'all and like, you know.
When I surpass them, it goes away.
When I surpass them, it goes away.
It's weird. It's like bullying. I'm not saying it goes away,
but I have to remind you.
I have to remind you
that you told me I wasn't going to make it.
I have to tell you this. When I was starring
out as a comic and it was rough in New York
and motherfuckers were just dickheads to you, I used to
carry a list of people who were pieces of shit in my wallet.
Of all the people I was going to say, fuck you too when I passed them.
And as I would start to pass them, I felt zero, I felt zero anger.
I almost started to feel bad.
Yeah, I don't have anger.
I was like, oh shit, you're still in the same place.
That's why you were a dick to me because I was all you had to be a dick to.
Well, that's the type of person that were a dick to me Cause I was all you had To be a dick to Well that's the type of person
That is a dick
To someone who's coming up
The person who's like
That's famine mentality
Yes
You think there's not enough
Yes
So you try to keep people away
Get away
Get away
Whereas the people
That don't have famine mentality
Like come on
Come on let's do it
Plenty for everybody
Yeah
Plenty for everybody
I don't have anger
Like I've been fired
Four times from radio
You know what I'm saying
So I'm not angry At the people that fired me.
But the people who told me things like, there was a guy named DJ Kaz in Charleston,
Cyclone who told me, my first time I got fired, he told me I would never work in radio again
because I was an asshole.
And then Boogie D told me, this is why you'll never make it in radio.
So those two individuals just need to be reminded.
People need to know
that they made those calls.
Wouldn't you like to know
the person that cut
Michael Jordan
from the basketball team
in high school?
Yes.
Wouldn't you like to know
the person that didn't hire
Oprah as a newscaster
back in the day?
Wouldn't you like to know
these people?
I just want to know
these people.
And by the way,
I've had other executives
in radio,
you know,
like,
salute to my guy,
Doc Winters. Doc Winters told me that other executives in radio, you know, like, salute to my guy, Doc Winters.
Doc Winters told me that one person in particular, he would never hire because they fired me and couldn't give him a reason why.
When he asked him why, he was like, I just didn't like what he was doing.
And he was like, I never hired that person.
So that's why certain people need to be told and reminded about the dumb ass decisions they made. Oh, dude, like a psychopath.
He holds some strong grudges.
Like a psychopath.
I like it.
That's great.
But the difference is also that you get hired for these jobs, and you can get fired by these assholes.
Yes.
And there's always that weird power play between producers and executives.
It happens with television shows and networks, and it happens with radio.
It's a power play.
The thing about comedy is it's like you just know, you just work at a different club.
There's no real, I mean, there's a little weird struggle between you and the other comedians,
but there's no real struggle between you and the club owners.
You go in there, you sell out, you kill, and you're friendly to everybody.
They don't give a fuck.
100%.
They're like, thank you.
Here's your money.
Bro, they do not fucking care.
And it doesn't matter how much of a diva you are.
Everybody knows this story in comedy.
Eddie Griffin, you know Eddie Griffin's writer?
Eddie Griffin is the best writer in comedy
I didn't know he has a writer
When did he get a writer?
Oh he's had it forever
Oh he had a writer?
No writer mean like the thing that
Oh writer
You're talking about me pronouncing shit wrong
I thought you were talking about
You said writer
I was like Eddie got a ghost
Eddie writes his shit
Eddie can go man
Eddie's great
So but apparently his writer Which means like the shit that's in the green room Eddie writes his shit. Eddie can go, man. Eddie's great.
So, but apparently his rider, which means like the shit that's in the green room.
Yeah.
And he needs a brand new pair of Air Force Ones for every show.
A lot of people do that.
What?
Yeah.
Yeah. A lot of people have like sneaker riders.
Wait a minute.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm fucking up because I haven't asked for anything but water.
You would think sneakers are the most important thing in standup, right?
Like you need a comfortable fucking shoe, right, when you're on that stage.
Hold on.
There are more than just Eddie has.
Yeah, some guys have it where they want a fresh pair, size 11s, whatever they wear, right there.
So they get to the, they never want to wear them at all until right when they get on stage.
That's it?
Yeah.
What's in your rider?
stage that's it yeah what's in your rider i have like jack daniels wine meat um water simple sugar-free red bull what kind of meat you're not specific with the meat
no like like meat plates like roast beef and shit like that just something so i don't eat garbage
right stuff like that nothing nuts macadamia nuts and pist pistachios. Normal shit. Red M&Ms. Yeah, only green ones.
Pick out the green ones.
I mean, what you're saying about stand-up is the beauty of independence, though, right?
Yeah.
That's why everybody who gets Me Too runs to the stand-up stage afterwards,
because the comedy club still accepts it.
Sean, they were saying, did you see that tweet?
I thought maybe it was Roy Wood or something like that.
He was like, OJ will be doing stand up In three months
Dude do you watch those videos?
No
And why do you?
Why do we entertain that shit?
You love it
Fascinating
You love it too
Fascinating
Until he's
Hello Twitter world
There's a lot of BS out there
Up until now
It pisses me off
That he does videos on Twitter
Take that shit to Instagram
He doesn't know
He thinks Twitter is that.
That's what he thinks.
He's holding his reading glasses in his hand.
I mean, he's going blind.
He's 71 years old.
Did you see the DM he sent that dude?
Amazing.
With all the knives.
All the knife emojis.
But yo, you understand that was strategic, right?
He sent that on Monday.
Monday was the 25th anniversary of the fucking Bronco chase.
So you think that he didn't just want to be in the news
like that was
that was a strategic move
I don't think
he's that smart
I think what's going on
is he's reacting
to someone fucking with him
and he doesn't
he doesn't know
how to just
let shit slide
so somebody makes
a parody video
or he's doing his
Twitter
you know it's
hello Twitter world
and then someone's got
hell police
in the background
that's what they did
so he gets mad and he DM's that person who made that video I'm gonna cut you You know, it's hello, Twitter world. And then someone's got, hell, police in the background. That's what they did.
So he gets mad, and he DMs that person who made that video, I'm going to cut you.
I don't think.
He said, I'm going to cut you. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think that was strategic, man.
I think he knew it was the 25th anniversary of the Bronco chase.
And OJ's only relevance is the fact that he got away with murder.
So he has to remind us of that fact all the time in order for us to give a fuck. Did you ever see the
videos he did when he was doing rap? When he was dressing
up like a king? In Miami? Yeah.
He dressed up like a rapper?
He was doing rap. He had music.
No. Jamie?
We can't play it, right? We'll get
pulled off of YouTube. Real quick, that stuff was fake.
That DM stuff. What stuff? That DM stuff was fake.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, the guy lied?
I listened to Jim and Sam yesterday.
They actually like broke it down instantly.
He made it in a fake account with like, it was TheRealOJ.
He just made the L, a capital I.
Oh.
And that was just shit.
It tricked everybody.
I gave him donkey of the day for no fucking reason.
God damn.
Look at your mask.
No, I'm mad.
I'm glad, though.
I'm glad he's not that stupid.
Right.
Because donkey of the day is a segment I do on The Breakfast Club where I give somebody the credit they deserve for being stupid. I'm like, I'm glad he's not that stupid Right Donkey today is the segment
I do on The Breakfast Club
Where I give somebody
The credit they deserve
For being stupid
I'm like yo
You can't be that stupid
And that thirsty
For attention OJ
So it's kind of
A relief that he's not
That thirsty
This is OJ
When he was doing rap music
Alright well no
But we can't
Now he is thirsty
Yeah we can't play the music
But he had girls out there
Dancing around in their underwear
And OJ was rapping
Didn't he have like A crown on or something There he is dressed up in like white face and all sorts of
things there's naked girls in it oh god you don't think oj been riding the wave of killing these two
people for too long well crazy bitches will still fuck him bro guarantee you insane i don't understand
this this this part of women at all like the women that like meet people in jail and then they'll
like get married to them in jail like what is this about it's thinking about that jail dick when they come home
some of those guys never get to give them that jail dick they're in jail forever and they get
no conjugal visits and they still want to marry them but why they're attracted to killers so they
want killers they want killers and specifically they want killers that kill women what yeah
that's a thing with some women, with really fucked up women.
They're attracted to men who kill women.
God, what happened to the girl that's wanting to get choked?
Why you got to go to that extreme?
What's wrong with you?
She was just spanking.
That's all?
She was just spanking and choking.
Do you think all the choking and spanking and like, you know how like some girls have like
rape fantasies and shit like that? Do you think that's all because menanking and like, you know how like some girls have like rape fantasies and shit like that?
Do you think that's all because men have just become such pussies?
They want to see if they have the ability to even do it?
No, I think some girls have this primal need to know that you can kill them.
But don't they know that?
This thing turns them on.
Not kill them, protect them, right?
Isn't it protect them?
It's not kill them a killer yeah for sure
but they want to know you could kill them not that you're going to kill them
or kill someone else trying to get them that's that hand on your neck yeah
choking you they want to be like close to the door of you doing something
violent to them while you're fucking them so it feels good why you got
control over their life you really have, you're holding their neck. You've got control over their life. Yo, so why do we-
Look at your face.
Dude.
But like, you know all these dudes that like jerk off with like a belt on their neck and
shit like that and we call them weirdos?
That's just women.
Yeah, but that's different.
That's autoerotic asphyxiation.
Well, but it's choking a bitch.
That's what choking is too though.
It is, but I think the choking is you're doing it, a man is doing it to you.
It's not just that you're running out of oxygen
because someone's squeezing the blood out of your brain right but it's also that someone's doing it
to you while you're while they're fucking do you guys go for the whole choke because what i do is
i like put my hand there and then i kind of just tense my forearm but i don't really squeeze the
fingers because i want you know because my wife doesn't play like that she won't let me do that
she wants the whole choke no she doesn't like that Oh she doesn't like that
Cause she knows you could do it
Well it's not just that
She sees you choke people out regularly
She knows you're capable
But the kind of girl
That wants you to choke her like that
I think you should leave that one alone
Dude
My wife likes a little choking
But I mean
As we've gotten older
All of that stuff
Has kind of like subsided
But she used to like a lot of choking
We've been together 22 years though
Yeah you want to play it
I mean I don't know if she liked it or not.
She's naked.
But I do it.
It's not for us.
It's for you.
It's happening to you.
Some girls love it, man.
They do.
Some girls love it.
But I think it's really because they see men as pathetic now.
They see men as babies and the more pathetic and like cucked up a guy is, they're like,
okay, choke me, slap me around.
Show me that you have Some testosterone
Show me you have
Some sort of strength
Yeah but that don't mean
You gotta go give OJ
Some pussy though
My god
That's true
That's nice
You think they're asking
OJ to choke him
Richard Ramirez
Used to have girls
Visiting him
Manson that was married
When he died
Yeah but Manson had charm
He must have had something
No
He must have had something
All of those guys had fame
Fame has always been
An attraction to people
But he wasn't famous
In the beginning When he was getting people to do all that wild shit.
He was pimpin'.
Manson, right?
Well, he wasn't famous, but he was a cult leader.
So he was the leader of a small group.
So he was infamous amongst that group of people.
But you got to at least turn a couple people to turn it into a cult.
Like eventually it becomes part of it.
But when you look at social media, you realize that ain't really shit, right?
It ain't really shit to have a following.
You know what I'm saying?
500 followers on social media is pathetic.
Right.
But 500 in real life.
Yo.
You're the man.
You're Jim Jones.
He's like, wow.
Especially in 67.
Yeah, man.
You get 10 people to kill themselves in 67?
Oh, my God.
Man, some people can't get 10 people to a comedy show.
That's what I'm saying.
That's a different kind of captive audience.
Yeah.
And no, you got to fax them.
There's no organization.
Everything has to happen in real life.
Yeah, what was that speech like?
What was the speech when he made everybody drink the Kool-Aid?
Bro, let me tell you something.
He had to have some balls, right?
I don't think they knew.
That must have been.
Did they know they were drinking that?
It wasn't even Kool-Aid.
Kool-Aid took a bad rap
It was some like
Cheap Costco brand
Which Kool-Aid existed
Even back then?
I think Kool-Aid existed
So they went with the generic
To kill him
He didn't even use Kool-Aid
It's like they didn't have
Enough money for all Kool-Aid
They just gave people
Hey
Whatever the fuck they drink
They serving it in the
Dominican Republic
At resorts right now
Alright
Whatever
That's a cocktail in sandals
What the fuck is happening In the Dominicanican what happened all these people are dying well they
should try to get at big poppy no no no no people are dying at resorts that that was an assassination
attempt hold on people are dying at these resorts they're they're listening all these americans
that are being poisoned one lady got beaten to death and raped she didn't get beaten to death
but like beaten half to that she survived but but her whole head was just a big swollen mass of blood and injuries.
Some guy worked at this resort.
She saw him wearing, at least he was wearing an outfit, clubbed her over the head,
and did all kinds of crazy shit to her and left her for dead.
I read a story today.
It was a group of high school kids who went to the DR of celebrating graduation or whatever.
All of them ended up in the hospital.
And nobody knows why this shit is happening.
Nine people have died at these resorts and nobody knows why.
And a lot of them are dying from pulmonary edema and heart failure.
What is that?
It's like some blood issue.
And they're drinking things from the minibar and fucking croaking.
What?
You didn't hear about that shit?
No.
Oh, yeah.
They're going to build a wall around DR in a minibar. What? You didn't hear about that shit? No. Oh, yeah. They're going to do it
on DR in a minute.
What is the number of people
that have died over there now?
Wait a minute.
It's like seven.
Nine.
Nine?
Nine.
Jesus Christ.
And it's happening in the resorts,
the safe spots?
Yeah, it's happening in the resorts.
Get the fuck out of here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
DR's awful.
We got to go to DR.
What?
What?
We got to hunt.
That's hunting right there there Let's get into it
This is a
Let's get to the bottom of it
You really wanna do some
Nature shit Joe?
You wanna go do some nature shit?
Let's go hunt some rapists
In the DR
I wonder what's happening
I don't think it's just rape
That is right
It's people dying from drinking
They said they're drinking
At these mini bars
And drinking at these bars
And like
They've been testing the alcohol
And it's like fake alcohol or some shit like that.
I don't know what the fuck is going on.
I just know nine people have died.
Yeah, I'm not going.
Nah.
Yeah, I'm not going.
Yeah, you can't tell.
That's all it takes.
All it takes is nine people going.
It'll fuck up your whole tourist economy.
You would think.
Yeah.
But we live in this era where people are like, oh, shit.
Let's go over there and see if we can survive the DR.
It's become like a fucking game almost
Yeah
Well
Yeah
Well that's when
Anybody dies of a cocaine overdose
Everybody wants the shit
That they died from
Right
Where you want the good shit
Yeah you want the shit
They died from
You ever do coke?
No
Never
Never done it
You ever do coke?
I fake sniff coke once
I smoked it in a blunt
With some weed
Okay
Back in the day
But I fake sniffed it
Like
It was like the lines
Were on the table And I just wanted to Make the people I was around Feel comfortable Almost like on some Training day shit I fake sniffed it like the lines were on the table
and I just wanted
to make the people
I was around
feel comfortable
almost like on
some training day shit
I didn't want them
to think I was
like an undercover cop
or anything
so I motherfucking
you just do like this
and you knock it off
and just make sure
you get a little
on your face
and you just go
woo
and everybody's high
so it's not like
they really fucking notice
wait do black dudes
say woo
after doing coke too
I don't know
I did
I just thought that's what you did after you fucking sniffed the line cause you watch white people movies It's not like they really fucking know it's a black dude say woo after doing coke too. I don't know I did
Every movie I saw they let out a goddamn Ric Flair. Whoa, I've had a tea that matta de coco tea What is that a tea made out of coca leaves?
Yeah, it goes. Yeah, apparently the leaves if you just chew them are actually good for you. They are phytonutrients It's like cup. It's like a cup of coffee. Okay, but it's healthy chew them Are actually good for you They have phytonutrients
It's like a cup of coffee
But it's healthy
It's actually good for you
Those high altitude herders
They put a big wad of that shit in their mouth
They chew on it
And it releases into their bloodstream
And it's actually healthy
It's not bad for you
It's when they process it and turn it into cocaine
That it's bad
What I've had is coca leaves in a tea form so you just take the the leaves and it's like in a tea bag and you drink the tea
it just makes you kind of like hyper and you talk too much i'm not gonna lie when i smoked that
cocaine with that weed by accident that was the best high i've ever had in my motherfucker really
yes i used to always say i would do it again by accident if it was an opportunity. By accident on purpose?
But I think I'm too old for that shit now.
But back then, my God, I remember that high like it was yesterday.
Why?
What did it feel like?
Like he said, you just feel like very alive.
Like you feel aware. Like everything just seems bright even when it's dark out.
And it's just like you feel like you're actually on top of something.
It's just like you just feel mad hyper, but when you crash, you crash.
Game over.
When you crash, it's over.
You guys ever try Molly?
Yeah.
Well, I've tried MDMA.
MDMA, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, same shit.
Only once, though.
You like it or no?
I loved the feeling when I was on it.
I did not like it.
The next day, I couldn't read.
I was trying to read a magazine, and I couldn't read.
Really?
I was like, I just can't.
I couldn't follow it. Yeah. My brain was so dried out. Just shut down. I was trying to read a magazine, and I couldn't read. Really? I was like, I just can't. I couldn't follow it.
My brain was so dried out.
Just shut down.
It was just dead.
And then I went on stage that night and ate shit.
Yeah, because the synapses aren't firing.
Nothing.
I was slow and sloppy.
My delivery was off.
Fucked up, because when you said ate shit, I thought literally.
I was like, oh, I can't wait to hear this stuff.
I was like, you started reaching in your fucking pants and pulling out shit.
I lost my mind
Dude
So uh
I've been going to Burning Man
The last few years right
Really
And uh yeah
Last three years I've been going
Gotta get that hippie pussy
Bro
Dude
It's not even really like
For me at least
I haven't even really been
Fucking there
No
No dude
You're not showering
You're all fucking
Hopped up on drugs
And shit like that
I think like the fuck
Communities exist
But I don't want to sell it It's weird to like sell it but it's a really cool experience
you would probably really love it but um and i tried molly and it was you know people say like
when you try drugs it gives you um this heightened version of reality that you can't come to naturally
right and then you have a new perspective because of it some people say that about like acid or
mushrooms and these types of things um it was weird because for the first time in my life i felt past emotionally fill full it was like excess does that make sense
you know when you kill on stage and you walk off and you just want to like help people yeah because
you filled up the void and then you have a little extra right yeah so molly put me there and i was
like oh this is how people who feel no void operate
like i was just calling my parents i was calling my best friends and telling them i love them and
i'm gonna take care of your kids if anything happens like what the fuck bro yeah maybe it
just gave you the courage to do things you want to do but for whatever reason you choose not to
right because what you know before i'm busy trying to fill the void right be, be it through laughs or through content, whatever we're doing.
And here I had the excess.
And it was an interesting experience to make me go, okay, I can probably hit this maybe without the drug.
I can do things in my life, exercise or—
Gratitude.
Gratitude, 100%.
Yeah.
That's the ultimate—
100%?
Dr. Wayne W. Dyer said that you won't find your true purpose.
Your true purpose in life is service to others, right?
So I think most people that are public servants and give their lives to other people, I think that's the ultimate high.
But it's so crazy.
It's like you don't get to notice that until you're there.
It's so easy to tell people, hey, you should be grateful, and then you'll feel better.
But if they're not able to feel the sensation of gratitude, you're explaining to them, you're explaining Chinese to someone who doesn't even know what the fuck the language is.
Yeah.
Right?
It's like we're all in this like unique situation where we've probably experienced that and we probably, you know, tried to find ways to give back, et cetera.
And then we felt really good because of it.
We're like, I should keep doing this.
This is a really good feeling.
It's the ultimate high.
But imagine someone who's like barely surviving.
Yeah, but they still have something to give they just don't realize it like you you might have ten dollars in your bank account but guess what it's a homeless person on the street that has
zero right you give him a dollar you might feel great and then he takes that dollar and he's so
appreciative like thank you thank you like that'll make you immediately feel better yeah really just
helping people without any you know you have no ulterior motive it's a
great feeling word it's addictive i thought about that with karma right like we always look at karma
and we think that karma is what you put out is what you're supposed to get back no karma is just
an action and you're supposed to do those things just because it's the right thing to do yeah
period like i think also karma involves you feeling the way you feel about yourself yes because when
you do shitty things you feel you have a bad self-image you live in your karma that's what people don't get it's not like
here's a dollar for a homeless guy five minutes later i should get ten dollars it's not an
investment karma right it's no i feel better when i'm acting right like that's it it's simple as
that you can't run from yourself you cannot you go to sleep every night you look in the mirror
like and when you jack off you know what you're thinking about you jack like you know yeah you and i think a lot of
people don't understand that concept like once you like i can't do people dirty because i know i did
somebody dirty i can't do something because you carry that because i know i did something foul
right you know and even when somebody does something foul to me i have i gotta go through
my files in my mind like did i do something fucked up to this person did i do something to cause them to react this way no i didn't that's
their problem and that's the competitive advantage of sociopaths is they don't carry the negative
karma sure right they have the interaction we the three of us would walk around afterwards like man
i shouldn't have fucking done that what the fuck was wrong with me i feel like a piece of shit
they just go yeah all right that happened i don't believe that no that's why they're effective in business that's why they're
effective in politics that's why you see these personality types succeed with the ability to
just destroy thousands of lives i get what you're saying but i think eventually it catches up to all
of them i don't think it does emotionally just suppressing shit so much but eventually i think
that just i think that shit just explodes in them and causes them to go crazy if they don't
fucking get killed.
There are people, though, that don't experience any emotions the way we experience them. No empathy.
Yeah.
They're broken.
There's something wrong with the synapses.
I was like that for a long time.
Yeah?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
When I started going to therapy is when I started piecing things together.
But I made myself cold just because of how-
To protect yourself yeah and how
i felt like the world and the business was treating me at a certain point yeah i mean i was purposely
making myself cold and i thought that was the way that i had to be you fucking around to read books
like the 48 laws of power when you're young and you know you study all of these people who got to
a certain point they all had like this had like this coldness about them,
like this ruthlessness,
like I'll step on anybody to get the way I need to be.
But then you realize these motherfuckers are miserable.
That's the thing.
You know what I'm saying?
Dude, so you were on the island, right?
Lanai.
Yeah.
Right?
And were you hanging out with any of the island folks at all?
Yeah.
So there's this comic named Lil Duval.
I really think he's one of the people who understands life better than anybody on this planet.
My guy.
Good brother.
Yeah, he's a good buddy of ours.
He's fucking brilliant.
The same dude for the Smile Bitch song?
There you go.
Okay.
Smile, bitch.
Joe, when I'm telling you.
Stylebender comes out to that song.
Yo, shouts to Izzy, man.
We were on this podcast last time we were talking about how Izzy was going to do it, man.
Yeah.
But he's one of these guys, I promise you, his understanding of life is unparalleled.
Unparalleled to anybody I've ever seen.
And you see a song like Smile Bitch, and we see it maybe on surface value.
But everything he does has a purpose.
And he's aware of the purpose, right?
He's aware of the energy he puts out in the ecosystem and how it affects the ecosystem.
And he was telling me how he likes to go to the islands. I him in bahamas and he likes to be in the moms and i was
like why why do you like to be here he goes because people understand uh what life is here i go what
are you talking about he goes they don't get caught up in the bullshit that we caught get caught up in
the states right and like in the states everybody here thinks they're going to be a millionaire
everybody does we have a lottery a reality show some viral video and you go to the island
and they understand
that they're going to
live and die there
and then they start to realize
hey I gotta just
maximize happiness in life
try to get some
chicken tenders
on the island
when we're in Bahamas
it takes 50 minutes
an hour
for fucking
five chicken tenders
I'm like why the fuck
is it taking so long
and he looks at me
and he goes
why should they hurry
what's the purpose
it's real Buddhist like
it's a lot of it he doesn't know that but his philosophy is real Buddhist-like.
A lot of it is,
he doesn't know that,
but his philosophy is real Buddhist.
He don't even know.
You call him right now and say,
who's Buddhist?
He'd be like,
I didn't go to school to know Buddha.
Who is Buddhist?
He doesn't know anything apart than Buddha. But he knows instinctively.
He is, bro,
no formal education.
Comes from nothing.
And the way that he's found a way
to understand humanity, it's his competitive advantage in the industry he's in.
He just truly understands humanity.
It's fascinating.
We've complicated this shit.
Dude, we have.
Like capitalism has complicated things.
You know, the cultures that we strive to be a part of have complicated things.
The truth to the matter is life is about treating people good, being a public servant, and dying.
Yo, the crazy thing he goes he goes i love i love and this is what's hard to understand because i love hanging
out with old people i'm like why he goes because they understand life i go what do you mean he
goes you eventually get to a certain point where you realize you're gonna die and all these things
that you want to accomplish that you thought you had to accomplish and all this shit that you
thought you had to get done in order to value yourself is meaningless. It was just distraction until we get there.
Yeah, that's the concept.
It's hard to swallow, dude,
because you have to let go of ego, right?
You have to go, okay, I'm okay as I am,
and I'm okay having a good conversation with somebody
or a good interaction today
or just fucking sitting on the beach
and looking at the stars, right?
These are cool things.
That's just as valuable as having a YouTube clip hit a million or something like that.
These things aren't any different in the grand scope of things, right?
Yeah, I believe in the law of attraction, right?
Your thoughts become things.
So that's why it's hard for me to grasp the concept of, okay, one day you're going to die.
Because in my mind, I want to die when I'm 90, 100 years old.
But, you know, you read certain things and they're like, no, you have to embrace it.
You have to tell yourself every day you're going gonna die because then you'll live your life like every
day is your last yeah i that's a hard concept do you know ct fletcher i've heard that name
ct fletcher the power lifter yeah he had a heart transplant last year and uh he came on the podcast
a year after his heart transplant and you've never seen a guy more loving and open and friendly and
thankful and tells everybody loves him he's hugging everybody and just genuinely grateful
because he was at death's door like legitimately at death's door his heart was failing him his
father's heart had failed him his brothers his his like he's got congenital heart disease in
his family and he knew that his heart was going he had had heart attacks he'd had surgery and they transplanted his fucking heart and they put a woman's heart
inside of him too wow also fucked with him that's why he's loving wow no but i mean it's just like
just that's one the one that fit yeah you know there was like this is matches you and we're
ready to do it bam so now here here he is a year later but but that guy has this renewed lease on life, and he just
glows like a religious figure.
Because he got close.
That would be a great concept for a movie.
Somebody who was a male chauvinist all his life and shitting on women and then had to
get a woman's heart and this whole concept of life change.
It's like a Jim Carrey movie or something.
Starts putting nail polish on.
Jealous for no reason.
Wow.
Yeah.
That would be interesting.
Crazy.
But it is interesting.
It's like, that's why, now we're getting to the fucked up thing, right?
Like this idea there is no good and bad.
Things just are, et cetera, right?
But like.
But there's good and bad in how the energy that you put out, how it affects people.
If you do a bad thing and it hurts a bunch of people's lives.
Yes.
You're changing how those people are going to interact
with all the people they experience as well.
Yeah, you fucked up the ecosystem.
And there's a ripple effect with the ecosystem, right?
But let's say you look at,
like earlier we were talking about bears, right?
Or maybe I was watching a clip of your show,
but you were talking, I think it was you and Duncan,
and you're like, bears really just attack baby animals.
That's what they eat.
They eat baby deer.
Yeah, they eat whatever they can,
but they eat most of the baby deer that die get eaten.
They just eat, they're like animal pedophiles, right?
They're just killing fucking kids, right?
That's what they do, right?
That's what they fucking do.
Coca-Cola's sponsor is an animal pedophile
just eating baby seals, right?
So that in our culture would be a piece of shit.
What if there was a group of people
That just killed kids
Right
Right
We would call them pieces of shit
That would be a bad thing
Right
Right
But that's just
You've acknowledged
Within the you know
The ecosystem of that
Of those animals
It's necessary
Yeah
Right
The bears need to
How do we know though
How do we know
That it's not fucking
Groups of animal rights activists
Animals in the woods
Saying these fucking bears
Need to stop killing these kids
I saw a video
We don't know
We don't know what these animals
Are really talking about
And really discussing
You know the shark fin soup
We don't
Yo Charlotte
You know shark fin soup
No
So they cut
They just cut the fins off the shark
And then they let the shark
Sink to the bottom of the ocean
And die
And die
It just sinks to the bottom
It can't swim
It just sinks to the bottom
And there's somebody tweeting about how horrible it is,
but I bet there's a bunch of fish that are pulling up on that shark like,
oh, look what we got here.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Oh, you going to be okay, bro?
Yeah.
You killed my whole family, you piece of shit.
Right?
You see, you've been deer hunting.
Yeah.
Deers don't just stand there when they see you.
No.
They get the fuck on.
Right.
They go and hit them fucking humans with them guns again. Yeah like i think animals are way smarter than we give them credit for well
they have instincts i think they got a little more than instincts some some do some animals
are smart you know what's interesting moose are some of the dumbest the dumbest fuck but dude
because you know why why so big because who's gonna take them out yeah they're so big all they
have to do is stomp stomp. That's all they have to do.
Wolves try to come after them, and then they just game on.
Stomp them.
If I was a moose, I'd be dumb, too, though.
Because I'd be looking at y'all like, y'all dumb.
Y'all really out here with us?
Yeah.
And this motherfucker, he don't got the nerve to try me.
That's the thing.
And then you go shooting at the moose, and you're like, fuck, he shot me.
It's like the mountain from Game of Thrones.
What's that guy's name?
Yeah.
Thorne Borg.
Okay.
I don't know his IQ, but I can't imagine it's that guy's name? Yeah, Thornborn. Okay, I don't know his IQ,
but I can't imagine it's incredible.
You think?
Yeah, maybe.
6'9", 300 pounds?
You don't got to figure shit out.
You might not have to,
but some dudes choose to.
There's giant dudes that are smart as fuck.
Small cocks.
That's what people would like to think.
That's what I have to think.
You have to think.
Yeah, you'd make yourself feel better, right?
You'd be 6'9", and have a hammer?
People always say that about Shaq.
Someone's saying that about, oh, he's got a little dick.
Compared to who?
Well, no, I read, I read, I read.
Compared to who?
Compared to a bear.
He's so big.
I read Corinne Steffen's book.
Corinne Steffen said she had sexual relations with Shaq.
Superhead.
Superhead.
She said it's not little.
It's just regular.
So it's like, his dick probably look big on me.
But on Shaq
Right
It's just like
Nine inches
Ain't really big
For you Shaq
You know what I'm saying
It's that Chris Rock joke
About the background
He's like
I don't have a big dick
But I got a small background
Or something like that
So it looks big
He's so skinny
That his dick looks big
Oh got you
Got you
Got you
Yeah that's all
Shaq needs to come through
With a Time Warner remote
Shaq need 15 inches.
Shaq need that gun on his dick.
Yeah.
That should be Shaq.
That boring company.
What is that called, Joe?
The boring company.
The flamethrower.
Not a flamethrower.
That's what Shaq need.
Anything else to disappoint a woman.
I guess what I'm saying is like with C.T. Fletcher, right?
He needed to see death in order to have this amazing revelation about life.
And maybe the fucked up things that happen in the world,
maybe if there is some sort of design to all this,
maybe the fucked up things that happen in the world
allow us to have a little bit of empathy and joy
for being able to be here.
But you got to give a fuck about life, first of all,
because I can think about all the near-death experiences I had,
whether it was somebody pulling a gun on me,
whether it was me being drunk as shit
and wrecking my mom's white Lumina Caravan, and literally the only reason I survived is because I didn't have a seatbelt on and
because I was so drunk that the impact didn't kill me.
I didn't think about stuff like that until decades later.
When it happened in the moment, it was just like, all right, whatever, I got into a wreck.
Oh, I got a gun pulled on me.
But when you're older and I got three daughters and I look at my wife and I look at people
that love and care about me and I really appreciate and value life now i start thinking back on that shit like what
the fuck was i thinking like right i didn't give a shit about life back then but i can get an
anxiety attack thinking about those past moments because those past moments would have caused so
much not to happen yeah if i'd have died yeah it's you gotta care you gotta care and you have
to have something to care for and that's one of the things that really changes when you have children.
Oh, absolutely.
Chappelle said the best thing to me.
He said, not only did it change how much I love, he goes, it changed my capacity for love.
It teaches you how to love.
You might not even know what real love is until you have children and you realize, like, man, this is like my heart walking around outside my body.
And you feel a different level of love, a different level of empathy.
Like, I remember my daughter had a track meet like two, three years ago.
And she was learning the long jump.
And, you know, it was like the first time she ever did the long jump.
So it was literally, it wasn't even a meet.
It was like practice, right?
And so she goes to do the jump.
And I just, I go, oh, my God, that was horrible.
And she just burst out into tears.
And I'm like, what the fuck did I just do? What did I say was horrible and she just burst out in the tears and I'm like
what the fuck did I just do what did I say my wife was like yo what's your problem and then
other parents are coming like oh it'll be fine you did perfectly I said shut the fuck up she
didn't do good but I didn't understand that my word meant everything to her like everything so
I just took all her confidence out of her And just that one snap of a finger
Like Thanos
And that shit
Even thinking about that shit now
Hurts my heart
But I've never made that mistake again
Now I'm the father that
That overly tells her how great she is
And I know how to explain to her
If she does something that
I necessarily don't think is great
I know how to explain it to her in a way
Where she can do better
And she's very receptive
to that
it changes who you are
how many kids?
three
all daughters too
oh you was a hoe
in a past life like me
see
there you go Rogan
I'm telling you
this is parallel universe
this meeting right now
I swear to God
Rogan was out there
knocking them down
doing girls dirty
I know a hoe
I know a former hoe when I see one.
I have a joke about how much it changed the way I feel about life.
When my daughter was little, there was two bananas.
And one of them was brown and fucked up and old.
And one of them was perfect.
And I looked at those two bananas, and I know my daughter loves bananas.
So she'd probably want that nice banana.
So I ate ate that up banana
so while sitting there eating this mushy mashed potato textured banana i was thinking about
there's not another person in this world i would do that for because i love my wife my wife is an
amazing person but it was just me and my wife i'd be like I guess that bitch is getting a shitty banana. You would ask her three times.
You sure?
You sure?
Hey, babe, you sure?
You sure?
You sure?
Hey, everything's good?
Everything's good?
Everything's good?
Everything's good?
You sure?
It's pretty good banana?
It's perfect banana?
That's cool.
That's fair.
You just ask the wife three times.
Kids, they get it from the start.
You would literally jump in front of a bus for her.
It's a different thing.
So, like, people say I would die for you
But they don't mean it most of the time
Unless they're a soldier
Who's willing to dive on a fucking grenade
But if I could die
And I knew that my kids would be happy and healthy
But if I lived they would die
I would die
I flew out here
I left New York 5.30 this morning
Simply because I was supposed to fly out last night,
but my daughter had a track dinner,
which I forgot about.
And it was literally like a track dinner.
It's in a fucking gym,
and they're serving chicken tenders
and lasagna and pizza
and listening to Old Town Road 10 different times.
Everybody gets a participation trophy.
12th place goes to 11th place.
I'm like, oh, fucking God.
But I stayed just to be there.
I changed my flight,
everything just to fly out this morning
because I needed to be there for that track day.
You don't do that for people
that you don't absolutely love and adore.
So here's a question.
You both have these kids
and you need to balance loving them so much
and telling them they're the most amazing people in the entire world
and not making them horrible human beings.
Well, more than that, not making them weak.
And not making them weak.
You have to give them adversity or they'll never know what to do with it.
I think sports is the key to that.
Make them do things that are difficult.
Well, I know what you're saying about participation trophies,
but get them involved in something competitive Where they have to struggle
So they'll learn
What it's like to lose
They'll learn
What life is like
In a kind of
Controlled environment
And then you can still
Nurture them
And love them
Yeah the difference
Between people
Who participate in sports
And people who don't
Is you learn
What losing is
And some people
That never learn
What losing is
And they just
Are terrified of it
But they're not teaching
These kids how to lose
No more
It's true
In school schools
But I mean like competitive things.
Like get your kids involved in martial arts.
Get your kids involved in these things that are just, it's very clear.
It's binary, one or zero.
Either you win or you lose.
Those are important.
You learn.
You learn like what struggle is.
If you have a race, right?
Track meets a perfect example.
Someone fucking won.
Yeah.
Someone did not win.
That's it.
You know, like who, oh, you got across the line and i'm second fuck i gotta be first how the fuck can i be first i
gotta figure out how to run faster that's it will you guys ever will you guys ever be openly
disappointed in them will you show them that they let you down the only time i'm that way with my
kids when they're mean to each other i tell them them, I go, this is unnecessary. I know why you're feeling this way.
I know why you're mad at each other.
But you can't be shitty to your sister.
You can't do that.
It's a bad thing.
You've got to learn how to take a deep breath and think about the consequence of what you're saying.
And every time you do do something shitty, learn from it.
It's a learning experience.
I think for me, I'm just like that when I think that they're being ungrateful.
My oldest daughter is 10. My second oldest is 3. So she they're being ungrateful. My oldest daughter is 10.
My second oldest is 3.
So she doesn't really understand the concept.
My other daughter is 9 months old.
But my 10-year-old has lived a very privileged life.
And sometimes you see that bougie shit come out of her.
You know what I'm saying?
Like little things.
Like I love this island called Anguilla.
You know what I mean?
And we vacation like two, three times a year.
Like these long 10-day vacations. She's like, Anguillailla. You know what I mean? And we vacation like two, three times a year. Like, these long 10-day vacations.
She's like, Anguilla again.
You know what I'm saying?
We was on the island of, we was in Grenada.
And her and my niece, because my niece comes with me all the time.
And they're just talking like, the food is so much better in Anguilla than here.
I'm like, yo.
You know what the fuck I was doing when I was nine?
I was taking his own. I was lighting toys on fire
in my backyard
I was on a dirt road
exactly
I was on a dirt road
in Moscow
in South Carolina
turning into Teen Wolf
in a single wide
fucking trail
like that is the only thing
that like
pisses me off
just the lack of
gratitude
it's a perspective issue
though right
they're wealthy
they're never gonna understand
what it's like to be poor.
So how do you instill that in them?
It's impossible.
There's got to be ways, man.
The problem is, man, all of my favorite people have fucked up childhood.
Yes.
But I don't want my kids to have a fucked up childhood.
They're not supposed to.
My mom told me, we're here to make our children's lives better.
My mom actually showed me my great-great-grandfather's taxes he had to pay one year, and that shit
was like a quarter.
You know what I'm saying?
Like it was just something light.
But back then, that was a lot of money.
So she was just saying that to me, just telling me that every generation is supposed to be better.
Because I got this thing sometimes where I feel guilty about doing so well.
Because I don't have no fucking skill set.
Like I didn't go to college.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't feel special.
Like why am I in the position that I'm in my mother was a school teacher for 30 plus years
most she ever made was 30 000 a year in south carolina i get that for a fucking appearance so
it's like that shit will make you feel bad sometimes like you'll feel a sense of guilt
so she was just showing me that to say hey every generation is supposed to be better than next
generation so our kids are supposed to be way better than us yeah but don't you want to prepare them for that life like you look at any one of
these movies or even stories about a king that took power and then the son that he has son he
has always some spoiled little bitch who ruins the kingdom well that's the thing find me a great man
is the son of a great man find me a man who's the son find me a great man who's the son of a great
man because a great man always has these weak little Who's the son of a great man Because a great man
Always has these weak little sons
And it's like
How do you
It's like maybe
You do need to create
Adversity for your kid
Maybe you do need to be a dick
A little bit
And maybe it's selfish
To be sweet to your kid
All the time
Because you're not preparing them
For the world
When you're not there
I think you prepare them
For the world
When you let them find
Their own way
Yes
Meaning like
You gotta cut the cord Yeah I don't want my I don't want my daughters To get in the media You know I think you prepare them for the world when you let them find their own way. Yes. Meaning like-
You got to cut the cord.
Yeah.
I don't want my daughter to get in the media if they choose too cool.
My daughter likes to write now, so if she wants to be an author, fine.
I'm not really an author.
I wrote a couple books.
You know what I'm saying?
Right.
With a ghostwriter.
Right.
You know what I mean?
So it's like I'm not really an author.
So I want them to find
I want them to find
Their own way
I think when they find
Their own way
Then that gives them
That integrity
And that purpose
And everything else
That they're looking for
I think when you
Hand them things
That's when the ego
And all that other shit
That's the problem
They have to work for
What I see in the communities
That I live in
Is always like
The rich kids That have nannies that take them everywhere.
And they don't see their parents very much because their parents work all the time.
And their parents vacation without the kids.
They like to go places without the kids all the time.
You see a lot of that.
Those kids are getting fucked up.
And you see them as they get older.
They're more and more vacant, more and more weird, more and more detached.
Yes.
But the kids that are around the family all the time
and they do things with the family,
then they get a richer experience.
It's neglect, and it's the parents that are super driven
and they're never home.
They're working 16 hours a day,
and that's why they live in this fucking giant mansion
and drive around in a Bentley.
Those kids get fucked up,
and they wind up getting on drugs and feeling empty
and looking for something to fill them up.
Imagine your parents sent you to boarding school.
I have a buddy of mine.
Dude.
A buddy of mine is Brian Callen.
His parents sent him to a fucking boarding school in the United States, and they didn't even live in the United States.
They sent him to another country.
Jesus Christ.
Wait a minute.
Where's Brian from?
I love Brian.
Brian is from all over the world.
His dad was a banker, an international banker, air quotes.
Mm-hmm.
Oh.
And traveled everywhere and was involved in some weird foreign shit.
Weapon deals?
We could talk later.
But he was involved in some weird-
UFOs and weapon deals.
Weird shit.
Yeah, yeah.
And then sent his kid, he was fucking 13 years old, sent him to the United States to go to
boarding school.
And Brian, to this day day is still a little shell shocked
because of it
yeah dude
imagine your parents
send you away
you feel like an orphan
when you're 13
it's your fucking orphan
and imagine if you
was at that boarding school
and got fucking molested
or something crazy
you would really hate life
you'd hate your parents
wait Brian got molested
no I'm just saying
I'm sure he did
I should say he did
listen
who's funny that hasn't been
yeah
you gotta get that funny diddled in something
fucked up happened really yeah if you're fucked up if you're funny something fucked up you think
yes yeah yeah i mean some some pain some struggle it's a defense mechanism no it's you have to learn
it you have to learn it why would you need funny it's like it's that's why it's so rare to see
and people always say this about women, but like, even attractive dudes.
Like, have you ever seen like a male model that was funny?
Right.
That's what I say about girls.
Carrot topping for the ladders.
Unless you're fat, your stories suck.
Real talk.
It's true.
Dude, unless you have to earn pussy.
Like, lesbians are hilarious.
No, that's not true.
Because they gotta earn pussy, right?
They gotta fucking earn it.
Have you ever talked to Tiffany Haddish?
Yes.
Tragic as fuck.
Yes.
Story.
Yes.
Like, she's not fat.
No. No, she's not fat. No.
No, she's not fat.
No, but she had that tragedy, bro.
She has a tragedy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The tragedy is the fattest.
Oh, so y'all say being fat is a tragedy.
Yes.
Oh, for sure.
Shit, that's why Miss Pat is hilarious, because she's got both.
Holy shit.
That's why Miss Pat is about to be a superstar.
She got the trifecta.
You would never want your kid to become Miss Pat, but you love Miss Pat.
You love Miss Pat.
You love Miss Pat.
Only because when you go through that kind of trauma, when you come out on the other side, you're really unstoppable.
You know what I'm saying?
Especially when you deal with what's going on in here, which is the toughest part, right?
I think that's what comedy does.
Comedy is therapy for a lot of people.
It's a coping mechanism. Any kind of art is therapy for a lot of people oh it's a coping mechanism
any kind of art
100%
is therapy for a lot of people
it gives you an escape
well that's why she was able
to accept
what that guy did to her
and forgive him
because she just
she's past it
yeah
she's on the other side
yeah
she's gotten through
on the other side
and it forces you to deal
with the reality of the world
like I think comics
better than most people
deal with the reality of the world
and often it's because
we went through some
kind of real shit.
Right?
So we go,
oh yeah,
these things happen
so I can let my mind
even operate in it.
When you exist
in like a really privileged
life emotionally
and even mentally,
when you exist in that space,
you don't want to imagine
that there are people starving.
You don't want to imagine
there are people hungry
or that their parents
are abusing their kids.
You don't even want to go there
because you don't have to.
When you grew up in it You're like yeah
That's what life is
Where's the fun
My dad can hit me for shit
My mom
So when you travel
You can appreciate
Where you're going
Whereas your daughter's like
Again
Here we go again
I went to South Africa
In December
It was like the 100th year
Of Mandela
It had been his 100th birthday
Or something like that
And so I took my daughter My my 10-year-old daughter.
So like a few months later, she had a project in school
where she had to do a project about Nelson Mandela in South Africa.
And so she had printed this picture of the Nelson Mandela statue
from Mandela Square and had it as the cover.
And I'm like, where's the picture of you next to the statue?
And she's like, I don't want to use that. I'm like, what's the picture of you next to the statue? And she's like, I don't want to use that.
I'm like, what the fuck do you mean?
You don't want to use the picture of you standing next to the actual statue in Nelson Mandela Square.
That's the point of these experiences because you're able to do things like that.
I had to explain that to her.
You had to teach her how to flex?
I had to teach her how to flex.
She don't know how to stunt, bro.
Yo, your daughter can't stunt, bro.
Come on now. I had to teach her how to flex. She don't know how to stunt, bro. Yo, your daughter can't stunt, bro. Come on now.
I had to teach her how to flex.
Get them likes.
But think about how normal that moment seemed to her.
And she was like, I don't even need to use this as a cover for my book report.
Oh, I think she's embarrassed.
You don't think she didn't want the other kids to be like.
All those kids is rich.
These kids should go to a private school in Jersey.
All these kids are doing well.
Well, not the kids, but the parents.
All the parents are doing well Oh not the kids But the parents Yeah yeah yeah The parents
All the parents are doing well
Like
Yeah
Hey like
Yo would you guys
You guys got
You guys got some money
And you got kids
Would you guys pay
To get your kid
Into a good school
Oh like that lady did
Nah
No fucking chance
Definitely not
You gotta earn that shit
Yeah
You gotta earn that shit
You can't do that
Cause they're not gonna enjoy it
And they're not gonna
They're not gonna work hard
Yeah
Some of those people
Paid half a million dollars
Right
Half a million dollars
To get a bachelor
To get a shitty
Shitty kid
Into some school
That they didn't deserve
Yeah and the kid's not gonna
Have no passion
For what they're doing
You know what I'm saying
They're just there
Like they gotta fuck
It's just like having
A regular piece of paper
Like I want
I want my kids to do things
That they really want to do That's how you change the world You want I want my kids to do things That they really want to do
That's how you change the world
You change the world
When you're doing things
That you truly want to do
Yeah
What's funny I thought
Is that those kids
That went to the school
Like did fine at them
So school
Yeah so school's just
A big fucking hustle
It's like if they didn't
Earn it based on grades
They should fail
Right the fuck out of the school
It's becoming a hustle
Just because of the way
The world is working
Yeah I mean Jamie went to school For audio's becoming a hustle just because of the way the world is working.
I mean, Jamie went to school for audio engineering.
Not a goddamn thing he learned in school he could use today.
Really?
Yeah, I mean, for the most part, I got to touch some stuff I could never have touched before.
What, pussy?
Not in audio engineering.
Not at that school.
Some dick, maybe.
Not at that school.
At that time, it was like 2005, maybe. YouTube didn't't exist and there wasn't the plethora of
knowledge out there that 12 year olds are teaching you how to record audio right whereas i had to
learn from the guy that was recording eminem and jay-z and all these guys dr jay right like they
can't really do much with that job either besides teach it now either so that's why like to go back
to joel's point when you said i'm the last in radio the reason I'm probably
the last in radio
is because
I'm the guy
that's staring people
away from radio
when kids come up to me
and they're like
y'all wanna get in the radio
I'm like for what
you can start a fucking podcast
you know what I'm saying
it's all types of different
ways to be heard
you can go on YouTube
and if you wanna be a VJ
on TV
you can start doing
your own video countdowns
on YouTube
like why do you need
TV or radio
to do any of that shit?
Middleman gone.
Yeah.
We didn't have none of that growing up.
I had to be on the radio.
You had to be on radio.
You had to be on TV.
We didn't have that shit growing up.
You know, I'm even experiencing that with commentary for the UFC.
Because I love doing commentary for the UFC.
But you know what I love even better?
I do these fight companions.
Yes, when you watch it.
We get in here.
We get hammered.
We start smoking weed and talking shit. And we watch the fights on the screen we have the best time it's way more fun
than being there live do you think that's the future of all live events right so you could
watch the nba finals and instead of listening to the guys you know marv albert or whoever do it
you could choose your guys that you watch the commentary with Oh yeah So Fight Companion 4
Basketball
Football
Dana White was doing that
With Snoop Dogg
He had
He had
The Tuesday Night Contender series
And Snoop Dogg
And Uriah Faber
Were doing commentary
And Snoop would just
Have a constant
Blunt lit
And he was drinking
Tangaree
And getting hammered
Hot
And talking crazy shit
Hot
And that was an option
For the commentary
It should be option You should listen to Snoop option for the commentary. It should be an option.
You should listen to SnoopCast.
It should be, right?
It should be every single one.
I think Snoop got tired
of doing it though
and just stopped doing it.
Probably got tired
of being around Dana White.
I think he just got tired
of having to be there
every Tuesday.
Well, that's the beautiful thing.
The NBA did this
during the finals this year.
They tried an alternative stream
using the ESPN app.
Right.
So the thing about this is you're doing it with ESPN guys, right?
Yeah, correct, correct.
So it's like what would be great is do it with the funniest commentary guys that you like in your life.
Right.
Hear them.
Just the reason why people tune in to your thing.
I guarantee they probably mute the TV, right?
The people who are watching.
They listen to both.
I think that's what people probably do.
They never let the good commentators commentate anything.
That's what I'm saying.
Like Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, or Shaq should be actually commentating during the NBA fight.
And it would be incredible.
During the game.
It would be incredible.
Them talking shit to each other.
Matter of fact, put them on a little screen in the bottom so we can actually look at them
visually what they're doing.
I don't know.
Well, they do that with the UFC.
They have the best guys doing it.
Like Daniel Cormier does it now. Yeah, he's great. Dominic Cruz, Paul Felder. I don't know. Well, they do that with the UFC. They have the best guys doing it, like Daniel Cormier does it now.
Yeah, he's great.
Dominic Cruz, Paul Felder.
They have good fighters.
Michael Bisping,
that do commentary now.
Cormier's the best, though.
Yeah, he's great.
He's hilarious.
Didn't he use to fight?
Fuck yeah,
he's the heavyweight champion of the world.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He commentates too?
He's the light heavyweight champion,
and then he vacated his title,
and now he's the heavyweight champion.
Yeah, he does commentary.
We do it all the time together wow you guys are good together because
you guys get fucking we're also good friends okay so we're always talking shit and we're laughing
about things like whether it's a judge who's a nice lady but a terrible judge yeah but just
like when when rose namajunas won the title he starts screaming out thug rose yeah yeah yeah
it's not like you guys turn into fans
Yeah well we are
I mean neither one of us
Are real professionals
Right
But we do it for a living
And it's weird
That's my worst nightmare
Like to be out somewhere
And fucking get into
An argument with an MMA fighter
You don't realize
You're an MMA fighter
Remember that Osh
Remember that Chappelle show
When he got folded up
When keeping it real goes wrong
When the guy folded him up
And peed on him
And then went
The fuck his girl
That's why yo
I'm telling you
You gotta check for the ears
I forgive you bro
Check for them ears man
What are the other signs
Other than ears
Ears is a good one
But the thing is
You can wear ear guards
I don't have any cauliflower ear
I have a little bit on this ear
But I wear ear guards
It changes the way you hear things
You don't want that cauliflower ear
It's calcification
My ears stick out already too much
Oh they would stick out Dude it would be nuts I'd look a bat yeah you'd have a big old knots in your yeah i
can't so there's no other signs of what a guy could be an mma no not really what about hands
what about knuckles no i mean you could tell and not tell you know it's no you don't know see that's
why it's got to be nice to people yeah be nice are you going to find yourself in one of those
you got it bro how about andyiz, the new heavyweight champion?
Viva la king.
Viva la raza, way.
Viva la raza, way.
You look at his body, you would think no fucking way.
And you look at Anthony Joshua sculpted out of marble.
Ben thought he was trash, bro.
Yeah.
Ben saying it.
Ben saying it.
We've been saying Anthony Joshua was not that guy.
Never, never.
He never had it.
Never. He is literally Ivan Drago.
Literally.
He's the UK Ivan Drago.
He looks the part.
Ladies love him.
He never had that skill in the ring.
I told him that when he came on Breakfast Club.
I don't think that's true.
He got dropped by Klitschko and he came back to knock him out.
Klitschko was 73 years old.
Klitschko was an old ass man, dude.
And he's Ukrainian.
He's got Chernobyl in him and shit.
He was 73. No, dude. That's nuclear poisoning and shit. was 73 years old. Klitschko was an old-ass man, dude. And he's Ukrainian. He's got Chernobyl in him and shit. He's Klitschko.
He was 73.
No, dude.
That's nuclear poisoning and shit.
He was very old.
He was trying to win an election for this crazy country.
He's got a lot of things going on in his life.
The real fight is Deontay Wilder, Tyson Fury, too.
That's the real fight.
How about this?
Tyson Fury, closest thing we've had in the heavyweight division to Ali.
I'm not going to say Ali.
I said after that.
I said a couple of fights.
I think he is.
The head movement, the foot movement,
at his size and weight.
Ali was doing that at 212 pounds.
His head movement last fight was very Ali-like.
Amazing.
Unreal, but at his size.
But Ali did that with George Foreman.
You see, there's a difference.
The guy that he was fighting, like that guy was...
But he did it with Deontay.
And Deontay is...
Yeah, he did it, but he also got dropped and almost murdered.
He did.
I thought he died.
Every time I look at-
Dude, that 12th round when Deontay connected and then walked back and went like this.
Like that, game over.
And the fact that he just rose up and then outboxed him for the rest of the round.
What the fuck?
That's all those years of therapy.
That's all those years of therapy and meditation.
When Deontay hit him and knocked him out, he was in that place of stillness.
Boom.
He knows how to come up from that place of stillness. He knows how to come up
from that place of stillness.
Absolutely.
That's what that was.
KOs are weird, man.
It's like sometimes
a punch does not look like much
and it drops you
and puts you away
and sometimes you get
fucking flatlined
like right there
and it looks like you're over.
Watch this.
I mean, I was amazed
that the ref even gave him a count.
I thought it was going to calm out.
I thought the ref
was going to wave their hands.
Meanwhile, this motherfucker rises up and doesn't even look wobbly.
Unbelievable.
By the way, Anthony Joshua can't beat Tyson Fury.
He can't beat Deontay Wilder.
He can't beat Luis Ortiz.
Well, I don't...
Luis is old, too.
Luis is a good 90 years old.
The word is, and I get this from reliable sources inside the fight community,
that Anthony Joshua got dropped in training camp right before the fight.
Bad.
By a guy from Philly, right?
I don't know who did it.
But bad.
To the point where he was KO'd, essentially.
And that's why his dad went after the promoter after the fight.
You see his dad screaming at the promoter in the ring.
Apparently, he was not prepared to fight.
And he was looking bad in the locker room.
They were worried about him.
I was told he had a panic attack.
Yes, that's what I heard, too.
I was told he had a panic attack before the fight.
And if you remember, it took him a while to come to the ring.
They even played the ring music and everything, but he never came out.
And I was told that if you noticed when he was walking out, they was rubbing his back
and they were rubbing his head.
I heard he had a panic attack.
Well, if you've been KO'd within a week,
it takes months to get your shit back together again.
The whole world is shaky to you.
Your equilibrium's off.
So he was in there, and then when he dropped him,
he's like, Jesus Christ, can I go again?
Oh, when Joshua dropped Ruiz, he's like, good.
Let's get this motherfucker out of here.
And then he went right at him, and then boom, he got clipped,
and then it was over
There's a
There was a
The biggest
What is it
The biggest upset
In heavyweight history
Is Tyson
Versus Douglas
Right
Guess who got dropped
In training camp
Tyson did
Did he
Yeah
Oh yeah
That's right
I forget the guy's name
Who dropped him
But his sparring partner
Dropped him in training camp
There's video of it
There's video of it
He didn't KO him
He took a knee
No
But still
You got dropped You got dropped Your body shut down For a second And it there's video of it he didn't KO him he took a knee but still you got dropped
your body shut down
for a second
and it takes time
to recover from that shit
and not to mention
the night before
he was fucking a bunch
of Japanese women
with Bobby Brown
in a hotel room
and doing drugs
by the fives
yeah I'm saying
five at a time
that'll take a toll
out of you
yes it does
that'll take a toll
if you read Bobby's book
Bobby said Mike told him
I'll be right back
Bobby was like
don't you got a fight tonight
he was like yeah yeah I'll be right back I'm gonna knock Mike told him, I'll be right back. Bobby was like, don't you got a fight tonight? He was like, yeah, yeah, I'll be right back.
I'm going to knock this guy out and I'll be right back.
And he still got up and he still dropped Buster Douglas.
That's even crazier.
Did you ever watch the 30 for 30?
No.
About Buster Douglas?
No.
They had the 30 for 30.
I didn't realize how much he dominated Mike Tyson during that fight.
Oh, yeah.
It was incredible.
It was like round for round, he was punishing Mike Tyson.
I don't remember that when I was young.
Buster Douglas is like one of the most talented guys
that just didn't have the kind of drive and discipline
that you needed to be a champion.
But when his mom died.
Mom or dad?
His mom.
It was mom, yeah.
That's what gave him all the drive.
He was hooking off the jab on Tyson.
Pop, whap.
Like in a beautiful way. His skill was incredible. And that fight, he was hooking off the jab on Tyson. Pop, whap. Yeah. Like in a beautiful way.
Yeah.
His skill was incredible.
And wasn't afraid.
He was a world beater.
Yeah.
He was a world beater in that fight.
He needed the motivation.
No.
Holyfield fucked him up after that and he was basically done.
No, he was done.
Yeah.
But he's infamous.
Infamous.
For sure.
He beat Mike Tyson.
When it meant something to beat Mike.
I found out about it after the fact.
I didn't watch the fight live.
I had a gig that night.
Oh, and I saw it in real time.
And then I watched it later, and I still was waiting for Tyson to get up and beat him.
I didn't believe it.
You didn't believe it.
I didn't believe it.
I remember watching that fight, and in my mind, I guess I wasn't really paying it attention.
I was just like, this is longer than most Tyson fights.
Why is this going on so long?
You can have a dinner reservation on a Tyson night.
I'm like, and then when he finally got knocked out, I'm like, oh, shit, Mike long You can have a dinner reservation On a Tyson night Yeah I'm like And then when he finally got knocked out
I'm like oh shit
Mike just lost
Doesn't mean
Cause you gotta think
Not only did we grow up
Watching Mike fuck people up
We grew up trying to beat him
On Mike Tyson punch
That shit
That shit was impossible
Yeah
So it's just like
That was an unbelievable moment
I didn't feel like that
With Ruiz and Joshua though
Well there's certain times
When people lose
You can't believe they lost
Like for me it was Roy Jones When Tarver knocked him out dude I was just like what
unfucking Roy Jones they he stopped to this day man unreal if you watch in the second round it's
a really interesting thing that happens they both they both throw hooks and Tarver just gets there
yeah and well Tarver's actually a southpaw right so? So I think it's his, it's kind of like a looping left.
But they exchange, and Tarver just hits first.
Roy timed it.
And this is what happens, I think, when fighters get a little bit older,
they lose a fraction of a second.
And that fraction of a second earlier in Roy's career,
he's checking them, and then he's moving out of the way.
Well, I think the real, there it is right there.
Watch, watch, do you see it?
Yeah.
Look at them exchange.
Ready?
It's, and. Yeah, boom. Do you see it? Look at them exchange. Ready? It's and boom.
At one point, it changes everything.
Everything.
Well, you know what Tarver's coach said?
That Tarver beat him in basketball.
Yes.
And then when he saw that he beat him in basketball, he was a better athlete.
Who was his coach?
McGirt?
I think it was Buddy McGirt.
Yeah, yeah.
I think.
I find out that's true.
Dude, we had Roy on the Flare-In, too, and. I think, I find out that's true. Dude, we had Roy on the Flayering 2
and I asked him,
I was like,
were you ever worried
about getting knocked out
and losing something,
leaving something in the ring?
And he takes a second
and he goes,
I'm going to be honest
with you, man,
I didn't come in the ring
with much sense
to begin with,
so I wasn't really worried
about losing it.
Just straight up, dude.
Straight up.
Roy still got a crazy
competitive nature, too.
Roy, was it last year?
Last year, Roy was hitting me because he really wanted to fight Michael B. Jordan.
How about Michael B. Jordan say that he thinks he can do it?
What a nut, dude.
What a nut.
We were talking about it on the podcast.
Like, no.
Get out of there.
Roy was like, no, I really want to fight him.
Roy was like, I got the sponsors that can put the money up.
I think it was like $30 million.
And I made the call for him.. Roy was like, I got the sponsors that can put the money up. I think it was like $30 million. And I made the call for him.
And Michael was like,
nah.
He was like,
nah, we good on that.
Like, yo,
Roy would fuck Michael B. Jordan.
Don't let Creed fool you.
Don't let fucking
Killmonger and Black Panther fool you.
You still run up
on one of them old boxes right now.
Muscle memory
will get you knocked the fuck out.
It wouldn't even be close.
It would be horrific.
And isn't that what happens?
It's like some guys start, they start fighting or they start doing MMA.
They start doing a little Brazilian jiu-jitsu or some shit like that, right?
Yeah.
And they put a couple chokes in in like a safe, controlled environment.
And you get that like delusional confidence.
And that's why sparring is so important.
Do you remember the first time you guys sparred?
Sure.
I mean, not the first time.
I can remember the last time.
Well, you were doing it since you were a kid, right?
Yeah.
Okay.
I mean, the first time I sparred, before I went in the ring, I was like, oh, I got this.
It's just combos, whatever.
I was fucking frightened.
Dude, frightened.
When the punches were coming back, I was just a shell.
I just stopped.
Yeah, I haven't sparred since the last time I sparred.
I sparred with Sean Porter.
Really?
Yeah, dude.
This was nuts.
And he was actually throwing punches.
Yeah, because I was mad.
But this shit don't mean nothing. He was dodging them.
I was thinking one of them. I'm surprised he didn't
knock your ass out, bro.
And this is one of the... This guy's head movement
is impeccable. I mean, people have tried
to attack him on the street and they miss every single time.
Joe. Joe.
Joe, it's un-fucking-real, dude.
What is this? What do you got here? Here it is.
Is this you guys' fart? Oh yeah that is a sparring
Look at him going forward
This is a PR move
That's not a PR move
I'm trying to get some
I know you are
I'm trying to get some sweating
I'm trying to get some sweating
Look at you
Nah you know why?
Cause that shit is in Brooklyn
And you gotta be focused
Cause there's people yelling in there
Yo Charlamagne got on makeup
And they in there yelling Can I Charlamagne got on makeup.
And they in there yelling,
can I get a drop from the audience?
You left-handed?
Nah,
I'm right-handed.
I was just trying to
throw him off a little bit.
Really?
Yeah.
You did it on purpose?
Man,
he don't know what he's doing.
I don't know what the fuck
I'm doing.
I'm all sluggish.
I'm not even bouncing.
Where is mine?
No feet movement.
Do you train in boxing
or were you just doing this for a goof? Nah, I just wanted to go in there and I was like, fuck it, that's Sean Porter. I'm a even bouncing Where is my arm No feet movement Do you train in boxing Or were you just doing this
For a goof
Nah I just wanted to go in
And I was like fuck it
It's Sean Porter
I'm a boxing fan
I'm like what's the worst
Can happen
You get knocked the fuck out
Yeah the worst can happen
Is he's mean
Yeah you're right
That could be terrible
He's being super nice to you
I'm just in there flat footed
Yeah we're not even really
And we went three rounds
Wow
And I was about to die
At the end of those three rounds
Did he touch you at all
That's a very bold thing Yes A few times That's why I haven't sparred since Wow And I was about to die At the end of those three rounds Did he touch you at all? Bold thing
Yes
A few times
That's why I haven't sparred since
Yeah
It's like staying in my fucking lane
You know what I mean
I hit the punching bag
Callan spars all the time
Does he?
Bro what are you doing?
Yeah Brian Callan
No no no Brian Callan
DJ Callan
No
There's one person
That's not doing any cardio
It's DJ Callan
Do you see the meme
Of after Ruiz won Callan getting out of a car With his gut hanging out It's DJ Khaled. Did you see the meme of after Ruiz won,
Khaled getting out of a car
with his gut hanging out
and it's like all the big guys
the day after Andy Ruiz
wins the title.
Khaled,
Khaled,
Khaled been working out
on Snapchat for a whole year
and didn't lose
a motherfucking pound.
And got a Weight Watchers deal.
God bless America.
Did he really?
Yes.
Weight Watchers deal.
I mean,
we are just watching his weight.
There's plus size models,
right?
They're doing that now.
Like Nike in their Nike store has like a big mannequin, like a fat mannequin.
But they don't have plus size models for men.
Joe, there is nothing that enrages me more than fat models.
There is nothing that enrages me more than fat fucking models.
Why?
Okay, let me just say something.
As a comic, we want attention.
We don't feel like we deserve it so we make you
laugh so there's an even exchange i get my attention you get some joy okay an actor they
want attention they're not willing to write the script but they'll memorize some lines so do a
little bit of effort to get the attention a regular model at least she's willing to lose weight so
that she can be looked at but these fat bitches are just like look at me
you deserve to be looked at stop using the word bitches in 2019 look at that what the fuck that's
that's uh that's the plus size model mannequin this is the only that doesn't enrage you guys
the only thing i don't like about that doesn't enrage you that they're like just stare at me
i'm gonna eat bread all day no but you should stare at me. I'm going to eat bread all day. No. But you should stare at me.
The only thing that bothers me about that is that's out of context.
Because that's an oversized mannequin in workout clothes.
Right.
Is she going to lose the weight?
She's trying to lose weight.
You know what I'm saying?
She's trying to better herself.
Okay.
So I need it in some context.
If this is workout gear for overweight women who want to go lose weight, cool.
Right.
Other than that, why are you wearing workout gear?
Because she's trying to lose weight.
That's the only reason you'd be wearing that.
She'd be even bigger if she didn't work out.
Like Khaled.
Imagine if Khaled didn't.
DJ Khaled needs to eat a salad.
Is that what they're saying?
You've got to have a DJ Khaled level of annoyance to succeed in life, though.
Do you?
Yes, you do.
Oh, my God. You do. Do you? Yes, you do.
Oh, my God.
You do.
You do.
It's so much.
It's so much.
Button your fucking shirt.
There's no way you didn't know you could button your shirt.
He's the epitome of not being afraid to ask for things. He looks like French toast.
Jesus Christ.
Every time I look at him It's French toast

I respect...
Khaled came from radio.
Oh, did he?
Khaled came from radio.
Khaled used to do 12 midnight to 2 a.m. on weekends at WEDR in Miami, if I'm not mistaken.
He used to do Friday and Saturday night.
And that was like 15 years ago.
So radio is a lot like comedy in a way, right?
And there's like sort of a fellowship of radio people.
You respect people who did it.
Yeah, it's so few and far between that actually, I guess, make it, so to speak, that you know who those players are.
You know what I'm saying?
So yeah, in a way.
Yeah, and there's so few like national ones
like who's like nationally known radio guys elvis duran there's maybe a dozen um you elvis bobby

Will and Dick Clark out
For New Year's Eve
Like you're actually
Depressing people
Before the ball drops
Yeah
And then they had
Kathy Griffin
And Anderson Cooper
doing the floor.
That was a great combination.
She annoys me, man.
No, man.
Kathy is the shit.
It's a fucking lot.
Shut up.
I love Kathy Griffin.
No, dude.
She enrages me.
Just like the fat models.
You know why I like Kathy
is Kathy don't give a shit.
I like Kathy
for the same reason
I used to like Joan Rivers.
I mean, I say used to
because she's dead.
I love Joan, though.
Joan's a legend.
But they both didn't give a shit. They were cut from the
same cloth. I don't know
if they're cut from the same cloth. I think so, man.
I think so. I used to love Anderson and Kathy
Griffin together.
You've never heard anybody say that?
Not anybody like you.
It's always like someone's mom.
That's your guilty pleasure is Anderson Cooper
and Kathy. Look at that chemistry.
We had Cathy on Breakfast Club.
After she cut Trump's head off?
After she cut Trump's fucking head off.
That was a strange thing.
That was strange thing.
What was strange about it is the fact that she didn't think she was going to suffer any consequences from that.
I think people forget that Donald Trump, even though he is the ex-executive producer of Celebrity Apprentice and he was a reality star, he's the president of the United States of America.
It's rules about threatening heads of state.
Yeah.
You just can't do things like that.
It's almost like if fucking Flavor Flav became president.
It would be hard for you to look at him as anything other than Flavor Flav.
But you better respect his position before those goddamn men in suits come knock on your fucking door.
If Flavor becomes president.
Well, Donald's the first guy who was famous, like, other than Ronald Reagan, I guess.
Ronald Reagan was famous as an actor, apparently.
Was he famous?
Famous?
I don't know.
I don't think he was famous famous.
He was in movies.
I didn't even know he was an actor.
I had no clue.
He was in big movies.
I knew he was an actor.
And then he became the governor of California.
You know? It's a weird one, right?
I mean, just having a famous person in a popularity contest is strange.
Yes.
Because you've got a built-in advantage.
Yes.
That's how all of them are going to be.
And it is a popularity contest.
You do realize that's how all of them are going to be moving forward.
Well, some people might say Obama was the first celebrity president.
He became a celebrity, though.
Ah, you don't think he was one before going into it?
No, absolutely not.
I think there was something else.
Not Trump.
Nah.
Not Trump is on a different level.
Yeah.
Trump had Domino's commercials, bro.
Yes.
Trump had rap songs named after him.
He had an airline.
He worked.
Yeah, he had an airline.
He had a fucking hotel.
His name is on buildings all across the world.
Giant, giant Trump letters.
He was a brand.
Trump was the first brand to run for president.
Reagan might have been the first star.
Trump was the first brand.
But he was definitely a bigger star than Reagan, I think.
Easily.
Reagan is before our time.
It's hard to understand what he was like when he was a movie star.
Let's call Betty White now.
Is Betty still alive?
She's still alive.
She's still kicking.
Live and kicking.
Do you have these people's numbers, Joe?
No, I don't have her number.
Okay.
I haven't seen Betty in a while.
It's not like you become famous, you get on Rolodex.
Here's a list of all these famous people.
Here's Keanu Reeves.
Here's Betty White.
I do have some famous people where I text them and I call them.
I'm just like, this is so strange.
Who's the weirdest?
I always feel like that.
Steven Tyler's a weird one from aerosmith yeah yeah yeah
text each other and like all right that's the most surreal feeling ever it's wild it's weird
i never get used to that no it's humbling though yeah and but that's why i always say i don't i i
don't do like i know way i don't talk right i said i know people that have real talent right
people that i actually looked up to growing up that inspired me.
But I think that's what people like about you is that you recognize that in yourself.
Yeah.
You know?
You're not oblivious to that.
You're not delusional.
I mean, I kind of wanted the room to be like, well, no, you are talented.
I'm just like, fuck me.
You have something.
You must have something.
Yo, you know what?
You are fucking normal.
Now that I think about it
You're a regular guy
I'll just double down on you
Yeah, you know
It's good that you recognize
Charlamagne the dude
You are fucking
Let's change your name up a little bit
But humanity like that
In that regard
That's important for people listening
They want to know that you know
You can't play a musical instrument
Sing or do something crazy Well, don't they want to know that you know you can't play a musical instrument sing or
do something crazy
well don't they want to feel
like reflected
like often
at times I think
that your audience
resonates to you like that
it's like
you're asking a lot of times
the questions that they would
love to ask these people
yeah when I listen to you
I hear somebody
who's still a fan
and that's how I feel
like I'm still a fan
I'm curious
I have a curiosity
about things
and I'm not afraid I don't know. I'm curious. I have a curiosity about things.
And I'm not afraid to, I don't know shit.
I don't have, I just got some experiences.
I'm not an expert at nothing.
Everybody that I sit across from is way smarter than me.
Yeah.
And I'm fine with that.
Let's have a conversation.
I want to learn.
That's good.
That's it.
That's probably why you're successful.
It's the way to think about it. People would be like, oh, I can't believe you would say you would ask elizabeth warren about her native american ancestors did you see that
well you called the original rachel dolezal bro and rachel's by now too but did you see the
interview with him and and uh elizabeth warren yes where he calls her out on the native american
shit but you know here's the weird thing about her it's like i don't necessarily think she told
the truth in that interview and i don't know how she'd get away with it when she said that the boston globe did an investigation they said that
she didn't she didn't in any way profit off of that or have an advantage she got hired she got
hired for from harvard and she wrote native american on her resume like they hired her based
on her ethnicity yeah yeah she's a liar yeah that's a lie yeah which is fine listen i don't have no
problem with my politicians lying they do it all the time but i want you to acknowledge your lie
and hold yourself accountable like none of this shit is disqualified it's not the 80s anymore
it's not the 90s where shit like that ruins you just be honest like look i'm american i've cheated
before i've taken shortcuts i fucking used to put the cheat code in mike tyson all the time just to
get mike tyson and skip everybody else that's what we're based on yeah so if she did
that at some point in her life was it a horrible thing to do absolutely does it make it a terrible
make her a terrible person forever no i buy what she was saying though that she was told
that she was native american because many people were and then they find out when they get a dna
test that it's not didn't that happen to you didn't happen? Well, it hasn't been disproven yet, but yeah.
What are you, Native American?
Yeah, I was like growing up around the time I was going to college.
A guy that worked with my dad found out that he like filed the paperwork to his college 10 years after the fact and got a bunch of money back.
And so my dad's like, well, we're Native American.
That's what we've been told our whole time.
So we're trying to prove it.
Right.
Birth certificates and whatnot. And it's really hard to because they time. So we're trying to prove it. Right. With birth certificates and whatnot.
And it's really hard to because they didn't keep a lot of information back then.
Right.
So I put it on an application, got into Ohio State that way.
Got them.
And it was real weird when I was in the minority meeting.
On the orientation day, they gave me a letter to say, show up at this separate meeting.
You pulled a goddamn Elizabeth Warren.
You got you pulled an Elizabeth Warren.
That's exactly what I might have. say show up at this uh like you pulled god damn elizabeth you got you pulled a you took a position from a hard-working cherokee kid he did it in good faith i had no idea and it
was the first time just like when i sent him application and it was like what's your race i
was like i just found out i'm native american i guess so i'm gonna put that and no one checked
no one asked that's hilarious that people don't just Yeah I didn't know I was doing anything wrong
The wild thing about that
Is like
That conversation
It's like people ask me
Why I said that
I'm like I'm just too dumb
To know that
That wasn't a question
I wasn't supposed to ask
You were supposed to ask that
I thought so too
I thought I was just
Having a conversation
The idea that you're not
Is ridiculous
That's a huge thing
We need to find out
How she reacts
To the fact that
She told a lie
And why
Is her family Did that fuck up the whole lineage?
Right.
Did the whole family start tearing shit down off the wall?
Like, oh my God, we're not Native Americans.
Dude, how many dream catchers were in the garbage that weekend?
That's what I'm saying.
Holy shit.
Just feathers sticking out of hefty bags.
That's what I'm saying.
Once she learns that, then the whole family has to realize, damn, we're not Native American.
They had to fuck up Some family reunions right
They had to
Fuck up some tradition
They had to
Oh my lord
There's a lot of people
That were shaking their head
After that one
Joe
She actually got the DNA test
Okay
Can we talk about
How fucked up Ticketmaster is
Real quick
Yeah you wanted to talk about
I really wanted to talk
I just figured
I just put my mind
Together on this thing
Yeah it was a text he sent me
Oh my god
Ticketmaster
Fat models
Ticketmaster We're gonna take them all down Okay so Ticketmaster You know the place Where you buy tickets I had no clue mind together on this thing yeah it was a taxi sent me oh my god ticket fat models ticket master
we're gonna take them all down okay so ticket master you know the place where you buy tickets
i had no clue about this ticket master thing i'm just starting to do some theaters and shit on the
tour so i'm starting to look at like what they charge to do like the processing and servicing
right you buy it's like a 30 or 40 ticket i looked at yours 4040 tickets $16 in servicing for a service charge yeah is it per ticket per
fucking ticket they got it they got a 40 percent don't they got to pay for shit in the venue like
no they don't that's the venue cost that you also got to pay yeah it's just to process the ticket
and if you want to pick it up a will call another three dollars it's unfathomable right so i'm
starting to think i'm going okay so for the first time in my life i I'm like, okay, I'm selling some tickets and everything's good.
And I'm just getting a piece of the door, so I'm happy, right?
And my boy, who's like this genius fucking kid, OJ, Nigerian, all these Nigerians are geniuses.
And he comes up to me, he's like, okay, but what about the processing fee for Ticketmaster?
How much are you getting off of that?
I go, what?
He's like, what percent are you getting off of that?
I go, nothing.
He goes, wait, but you're bringing all the ticket sales.
Why aren't you getting a piece that's 40% of your ticket price? And I'm like, well, I don't know. And he goes, and what about the data from the tickets being sold? Are you getting that? I go, no. He goes, hold on. So they're fucking you and getting paid to fuck you? I go, what do you mean? He goes, the game is data now. Any business that's successful right now is all about data acquisition, right? Any business.
right now is all about data acquisition right any business and data is not how many followers we have on instagram because they could take your account away in a second how many subs that you get on
youtube because they could throttle your search we could see that happen all the time it's direct
connect to fan right and what ticketmaster has done is they're your ticketing site they get your
email they get your data set they get all your fans they know exactly who your fans are and they
email them and tell them when you're coming into town. Or when somebody else.
Somebody that they might like that's like you.
Exactly.
And then they're getting paid an absorbent amount of money.
They're fucking over the fans on it.
So I'm like, I'm talking to him and he's like, yo, we got to just create another one of these.
We got to create another system that gives all that data to the comic.
Why is the middleman even there?
We could create a way cheaper ticketing service that gives every one of those emails to a comic.
And it's like comics used to do back in the days by putting the comment cards on the tables and you collect them afterwards.
You can have an email list for every time you go to Idaho, an email list for every time you go to New Jersey, an email list for all these different places.
That's what most authors do.
And Kevin Hart, that's how Kevin Hart came up.
Kevin Hart was going into all of these comedy clubs and he was getting everybody's motherfucking email.
People wonder why whenever Kevin would launch on these social media sites, he'd get all of these comedy clubs and he was getting everybody's motherfucking email people wonder why whenever kevin would launch on these social media sites he'd get all of these crazy
followers immediately it's because of that road work he put in in those comedy clubs
before anybody i think louis ck did that as well and louis had this massive email and now you have
direct connection with your fans and that's what your fans want your fans don't want ticket master
telling them that led zeppelin's coming through they want to know when rogan's coming through but you know pearl jam
tried to fight them back in the day what they have they have exclusive deals with certain venues
they are top to bottom yeah they own so they own live nation and live nation owns the venue so
they're completely vertically integrated so if you want to play at the garden or wherever the
fuck it is right yeah so you go we're going to process your tickets the only way you do is uh
perform here is you do is uh perform
here is you do it with our promotion company which is a live edition and um you're gonna have to use
our ticket processing fee and and our venue they actually own the venues now but here's the thing
there's a handful of you guys that get to play those venues now i think with podcasts now shows
are 300 people there's going to be thousands of comics that have 300 fans.
And the venue where we perform is not imperative that it's this specific one.
It could be a comedy club.
It could be a hall.
It could be some conference center.
It could be anything.
It could be Airbnb.
But aren't you only doing Ticketmaster when you're doing these big-ass venues?
Well, sometimes now that they're Live Nation, they own some certain clubs.
Well, I do.
I work with Live Nation.
So now Live Nation, all your shit is that.
You still do stand-up?
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
Why not just do the podcast live every fucking way?
Different, man.
It's not the same.
Yeah, I like podcasts like this, where it's just people talking.
You do it differently when you're playing for an audience.
You perform for them, and it becomes this weird thing.
Yeah, start dancing and shit.
It just is not
It's not the same
It's not a real conversation
Like I think the intimacy of podcasts
One of the things that people like about it
Is they listen in their ear
Right
They got an ear plug
It's like you're talking to them
Yeah
Like you're right there
When you're doing it live
It becomes a different thing
There's a reaction
Not that it's a bad thing
Yeah
But it's a different thing
But stand up is way better
Why
It's just way more fun
All I'm saying is
What are we doing with this
Right
It's like
You should have a direct connect
To all your fans
I should have a direct connect
To all my fans
Right
We should be able
Even the venue
Should have that as well
Why do we
Why are we giving away
All the data
To a company
That's really not
I know my agent's
Going to call me right after this
And he's going to be like
Why the fuck
We have deals
With ticket messengers
Shut the fuck up So you want their emails You want your audience's emails to be like, why the fuck? We have deals with ticket messers. What are you doing, dickhead? Shut the fuck up.
So you want their emails.
You want your audience's emails, basically.
And that's what the audience wants.
And I don't want my audience to get charged $16 every time they buy a ticket.
Where does that money go?
It costs $16 for you to process a ticket.
Why not just give out-
40% of the ticket price.
Why not just create an email, and when you're at these venues, just put it up on the Jumbo
trying to be like, yo, email me after the show.
I mean, that's one more step.
Or we could just create the ticket process and the charges and weigh less and already start aggregating the emails.
And then if you want to get real crazy with it, you have a boy of yours that, like, let's say my buddy Akash, right, I do a podcast with.
It's like, hey, Akash, you're about to go on tour?
Yo, why don't you just use my data set, man?
They're going to know you from doing a podcast with me.
Maybe they'll want to see you.
It's like we get to empower each other through that shit.
Am I making sense?
No, it makes sense.
The thing is specifically about data, about the email list,
and about they get that if you show up in these different places.
They get the email address because that's how people get their tickets.
But you get the option of saying because they'll ask you
they'll say can ticket master reply to you or can ticket master send you the latest updates and news
and events you can click no yeah like i and i click no all the time sure that's ticket master
but you would click yes if it was us and it was somebody who you were invested in going to see
you just don't want ticket master promoting random Depends what you're sending me. But even if you click no,
Ticketmaster still gets your email address and might sell it.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Even if you just click no,
like do you want updates from Ticketmaster?
You're not saying,
is it okay if this company just starts selling my email address?
Because that's what they do.
That's what they do.
Yeah.
Bro, they own us anyway.
But they don't have to.
I'm saying now,
everybody that's coming out to your shows is coming out from this podcast they're not coming out because of ticket
master and if you use a different email service or ticketing service they would come out with that
one there was a sam harris podcast where he talked about this where they had on this expert and they
were discussing how data is it's like a commodity that no one knew was a commodity and we signed
off on it before we realized it and these people that don't provide any service are getting that data and it's worth billions and
billions of dollars which is essentially what facebook is it's facebook but it's also shaping
the way we communicate with each other because the things that attract people are conflict right
so the things that get you to engage are conflict so that's the stuff that shows up in your email
feed yeah they've or your facebook feed they find out what's going to are conflicts. So that's the stuff that shows up in your email feed or your Facebook feed.
They find out what's going to annoy you.
Yep.
And that's the shit that they show you.
That's why OJ has 800,000 followers in two fucking days.
Boom.
Overnight.
Instantly.
Instantly.
On Twitter, which nobody grows on Twitter anymore.
Yo, but at least Twitter.
Twitter's dying.
At least Twitter, at least Facebook, they're not charging.
Right.
My issue with, if Tech Master was like, hey, here's a free service.
We just want to get your data.
I'd be like
Alright boom
Cool
But Facebook is charging
You're going to charge me
You're going to fuck me in my ass
And make me pay you
I think Facebook is charging
They're just not charging
For ads
Yeah
Yeah
And also
Like think about it
They've stolen a lot of data
From people
Yes
In a lot of ways
So that is a charge
Because you signed up for something
But you didn't know
You were signing up for that
I didn't know I was giving you
All of this
Right
What's weird to me man Is fucking When you're talking about something but you didn't know you were signing up for that I didn't know I was giving you all it is right what's weird to me man is
fucking when you're talking about something and then those ads show up in
your Google feed bro we were just talking about coolers bro and I looked
at my Google News feed and there's ads for coolers Mike how does my phone know
I was talking about cool that's why I said they own us you know what else is
crazy they when you get in your car and you look down at your phone and it says 32 minutes to wherever the fuck you're going like that shit happens to me all the time it knows
where you're gonna go without you look at your phone it'll be like 32 minutes to to whatever
gym i go to uh yeah all right now it used to tell me 40 minutes to work in the morning now it says
40 minutes to starbucks bro i'm like i says 40 minutes to Starbucks. Bro. I'm like, I drink Starbucks every morning.
And there's a Starbucks
by my job in the building.
But that's what it tells me
I'm going every morning.
I watched one video
of Robbie Williams.
You know that English singer?
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
It was a YouTube video
with him and Tyson Fury.
I just clicked it.
It was two minutes long.
Every other ad on Instagram
is Robbie Williams live.
Oh. So it's not good.
The targeting isn't perfect.
I'm not going to buy those tickets.
But my point is, it's scary.
One YouTube video and then a completely different platform?
Yeah.
And this is all within the last decade.
They figured out how to do this.
Yeah.
Even if we unplug, we're still plugged in.
If we were all to delete everything that we have on social media right now, they got us already, bro.
That's why I don't like all that Snapchat shit with the face filters and all that.
Did you see what they did to him?
What'd they do to you?
What'd they do to me?
Oh, the AI thing?
Yeah.
This was nuts.
They made a complete deep fake.
They basically took all the recordings of me talking and made me say words that I've never said before.
It talked about me sponsoring a hockey team made entirely of chimpanzees
and a bunch of other crazy shit that I might actually say,
but it said it.
I've never said those things.
So they use my voice with artificial intelligence.
They've all the sounds that my mouth makes,
and they use it with all the right inflections,
and they create these sentences.
Jay Pharoah is out of a job.
They just passed the legislation about that.
About deepfaking.
Yeah, the congresswoman from Brooklyn.
I can't remember her name.
She just passed the legislation
about deepfakes.
They also did video
of the Mona Lisa talking.
Bro.
They got the Mona Lisa.
They took the painting
of the Mona Lisa
and now she's opening her mouth and saying things.
They can do it with Abraham Lincoln.
How can you believe anything you hear on social media anymore, yo?
It's going to be in a few years you're not going to be able to.
Now.
You don't know what's true and what's not true and nobody cares about the truth and
the lies more in a day.
Maybe that's better.
Maybe now we could say fucked up shit and be like, bro, deep fake.
What are you talking about?
Definitely deep fake.
Well, you're already getting porn with actresses. Maybe now we can say fucked up shit And be like bro deep fake What are you talking about Definitely deep fake Well it's
You're already getting porn
With actresses
They're taking actresses face
And putting them on porn stars
And you can't tell
Oh wait a minute
Yeah
Oh you can fuck everyone
Yeah
And now they're gonna be able to do that
With virtual reality
So you're gonna be
VR porn
Yeah
They have that
Yeah
VR porn
And they put something on your dick
So it feels like
Yeah they can put a little
One of them little things
That jerks you off
nah
nah
no you're faithful now
you don't need this bro
nah
nah
it's not the same
it's not the same
I'm old school
you like your palm
yo I just started
fucking listening
to audible books
because
really
I'm old school
I like flipping the pages
of the book
I just started
listening to audible
only because of
time purposes
and it's like it's like listening to long form podcasts I'm like you to Audible only because of of time purposes and it's like
it's like listening to
long form podcasts
I'm like you know what
fuck it I'm still getting
the information
and I feel like at this age
I retain information
more by hearing it
so I'm not about to go
start fucking virtual reality
pussy
so here's the shit
that's not porn
but could be interesting
have you seen the one
about the basketball games
what
okay so they put a few cameras
so you can sit front row
but in vr
oh i don't think i will mind that that's the best you're looking around you're seeing all
the people that are actually there and your front row at the game yo last month i went to um i
gotta use the bathroom i went to disney i went to disney and i went to that fucking that avatar
avatar oh yeah flights of passage oh my Amazing. I had to write it twice.
Yeah, me too. That shit was incredible. And, you know, I got anxiety. Right.
So I'm on it and I'm like, holy shit. Until you just remember, I'm not even moving. Right.
And then it's just like it settles everything for you and then you can just enjoy the actual experience.
And that helped me. I was telling my therapist about it because that helps me when I'm dealing with my anxiety
because it's like breathing exercises, things that get you back to center.
Even though you're falling and you can feel the dragon breathing on you, it's just like
when you realize you're really not moving, it just brings you right back to center.
Then you're okay.
Then you're fine.
You can't do that on a roller coaster.
No.
Because that's real. Yes, it's real. But if they have a roller coaster with virtual reality, like if you're okay. Then you're fine. You can't do that on a roller coaster. No. Because you're really in the...
Yes, it's real.
But if they have a roller coaster with virtual reality, like if you're wearing virtual reality
goggles and they put you on a roller coaster.
But I can enjoy the...
What do you mean?
They put these goggles on and then while you're on this roller coaster, you're experiencing
things that aren't really there.
But you're experiencing...
You're going through wormholes and you're traveling.
Nah.
You're seeing things happen in front of you.
I'd have a heart attack.
I'd have a panic attack.
That's not something I want to experience.
I'm glad you talk about anxiety.
I'm glad you talk about it the way you do because I think you've opened it up for a lot of people.
I think you've made it a subject that's okay to talk about for someone like you.
that's okay to talk about for someone like you, who are like a cool guy, who's a smart dude, who is successful and talks openly about anxiety and about how it's affected you.
I think you're doing a very big service for that.
I didn't even know what anxiety was until 2010 because growing up in the environment
that I grew up in, I just thought all those feelings were normal.
I thought all those feelings of paranoia or, you know, being anxious all the time.
Like, you know, and I used to smoke weed.
So, you know, when you smoke weed and you have a panic attack, you just blame it on the weed.
Yeah.
I remember driving to Burger King one time with two of my homeboys.
One of them is dead now.
His name is Jarrell, rest in peace, and my man Zeke.
And I was high as hell and my steering wheel needed like steering fluid.
So it was shaking.
So it was shaking my legs.
And I'm bugging out just driving the Burger King a two-mile ride.
I'm like, yo, one of y'all got to drive or we're all going to die.
You better take the wheel right now.
Take the wheel right now.
I'm going to crash this motherfucking car.
I'm tripping the fuck out. And they looking at me like, yo, don't let this motherfucker smoke no more.
But it had nothing to do with the weed.
The weed probably accentuated it though, no?
Definitely did.
Because when I found out what anxiety was in 2010, and I didn't start going to therapy until like two years ago.
Because back in 2010, when I got diagnosed with my first panic attack that somebody, the doctor, was saying, hey, this is a panic attack.
I had just gotten fired from radio for the fourth motherfucking time.
And I was back at home living with my mom at like 31 years old with a two-year-old daughter and, you know, collecting unemployment checks.
So when I'm having this panic attack and I go to the doctor and he's like, yo, your heart is fine.
You got a perfectly fine heart and you're healthy.
You got an athlete's heart.
He was like, yo, are you stressed about anything?
I'm like, fuck yeah.
You know, so in my mind, all I got to do is get me another job, get back in position and everything will be okay.
Get back in position and everything will be okay.
Yeah.
But when you get back in position and you've made more money than you've ever made in your life and you've got books that are selling and TV shows and all of this other shit
and you're still having those same panic attacks, you're like, well, what the fuck is going on with me?
Pressure.
That's it.
That's exactly what it is.
Pressure.
You think you're going to lose everything.
It's also you experience pressure that most people will never experience
because you experience pressure at this public scale.
It's not just pressure.
It's pressure with people's eyes on you
and expectations and criticisms
and all these different things
that the average person
is not going to experience that
from millions of people.
And you do.
And it's just like,
it's always on.
And if you're one of those crazy fucks
that reads comments,
good luck.
Lord have mercy.
Good luck.
He'd love that.
That was my problem for years.
At first,
I used to enjoy it.
Because I was the guy who came up on YouTube looking at all these world star hip hop conspiracy theories about people.
And you'd be like, oh my God, this motherfucker sacrificed his hamsters and that's how he got successful.
You know what I'm saying?
You think all that shit is cool.
Until you get older and then you start seeing things about you and you laugh at it at first.
Right.
Until you realize like, all right, now they really starting to say some wild shit.
What was the craziest one that you heard about you?
I mean, for me, you know what it is.
When they tried to me too the fuck out of me last year.
They tried to get him out of here.
You know, that was the wildest one to me because I was always the person that say, live your
truth so nobody can use your truth against you.
Right.
So it's not like they bought up anything that I hadn't spoken about numerous times before i've written about in my books they just decided
to attack oh my god targeted targeted planned attack oh man it can happen it can it so that
for me that was like all right this is going too far but then it's like you really can't do anything
about it that's the other thing like there's there's no to fight it. Once the toothpaste is out of the tube,
there's no way to put the toothpaste back in the tube.
So the only thing you could do is just
either let it consume you
and probably ruin you
just because you took it all in
or you just keep it the fuck moving.
You have to be confident enough to know
what's the truth and what's not the truth.
Yeah, and so now you don't read any comments anymore?
I don't go on Twitter at all twitter is too toxic that shit is like yeah we're in verbally
abusive relationships with our fucking smartphones yeah i agree yeah it's not it's definitely not
healthy you know we were talking about it yesterday me and uh duncan trestle we were saying that it's
like your diet like your diet if you take in junk food all the time but eat a bunch of shitty things
that are unhealthy it's not good for your body.
Well, your mental diet is important too.
Yeah.
And if you're always taking in these toxic arguments.
Yeah.
I mean, half of Twitter is just people screaming at each other.
Yeah.
And just yelling and insulting each other and trying to find ways in this person's being shitty or wrong or negative.
And it's like, that's not real life.
No.
The real life that we experience
and that we're designed to experience is like this.
People interacting with each other.
Reasonably.
It's one of the reasons why I think people like podcasts so much,
especially good podcasts where people have real conversations,
is because you go, oh, okay, this resonates with me.
Yeah.
Whereas Twitter does not resonate with you.
Right.
Twitter just gets you anxious.
Yes.
It gets you upset.
Yes. Conversations where people are actually being nice to each other In person
I don't do podcasts over Skype
I don't like it
I want to see you
I want you to be in the room with me
I want everyone to know we're going to be okay
When you have these conversations
And people listen to them
Just one-on-one like this
Or two-on-one
This is kind of what we're doing now
This makes sense to people That's one of the reasons when I'm out and about like just one-on-one like this or two-on-one this this kind of what we're doing now yeah this makes
sense to people yeah that's one of the reasons when i when i'm out and about and you know like
if i'm at the airport and somebody comes up to me and talks to me i speak to them yeah because i
feel like that interaction was supposed to happen right yes you know what i mean normal twitter
instagram i ain't supposed to be talking to you on this shit yeah you're not supposed to be human
beings are not wired to be that wired no everybody should not have that kind of access to you.
No.
So it's just like,
we gotta take back some of that access.
And you see the facade fall apart
when you respond to one of their tweets.
Like, someone would be like,
fuck you, Charlamagne, you ain't shit.
And then you could be like, why?
And they're like,
I'm just playing, bro, I'm a fan,
I didn't really know what to say.
For real, there's always that.
They're just trying to get a reaction.
They just want a reaction.
In my mind, if people,
if you like somebody, right, you see them, you're going
to go up to them and speak to them.
I just try to gauge things on how I would do it, right?
For example, I was on a plane with Steve Nash this morning.
Okay.
I saw Steve Nash.
I'm like, Wax is like, oh, shit, Wax, my boy.
He's like, oh, shit, that's Steve Nash.
And I'm like, oh, shit, that's Steve.
I didn't speak to Steve.
Did you say hello?
No.
Nothing?
No. Okay. I didn't feel to Steve did you say hello no nothing no
I didn't feel it
even though I respect him
right right
know he's a great player
better feel with John Stockton
that's a little different
that's a little different
you know what I'm saying
that's a little different
Steve I didn't feel
that was Steve
there's some people
you have to say hi to
Rachel Dolezal
get the fuck out of here
I said hi
did you
I met her
Seattle
absolutely where was she I saw her? Seattle Absolutely
Where was she?
I saw her with
I think she had at least one kid
Maybe another one
She was just at the airport
We're online
She's bisexual
No TSA pre-check
She's bisexual
She's bisexual now too
She's bisexual
Biracial
Oh no she's not biracial
Transracial
She is black

She's not both
Transracial

She's bi
So she's straight and gay
With the thing Yeah But I said hello Said what's bi So she's straight and gay With the thing
Yeah
But I said hello

Amazing forehead
One of the best foreheads
You'll ever see
In a game
I would have ignored her
What?
I would have ignored her
Rachel Dole's out there
You wouldn't have got the selfie?
No
I saw Jussie Smollett
I took a picture of him
Oh my goodness
In Lafayette Bakery
What do you think
Is going to happen with him?
Nothing Nothing Absolutely Nothing It's amazing Nothing legally I took a picture of him. Oh my goodness. In Lafayette Bakery. What do you think is going to happen with him? Nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
Nothing.
It's amazing nothing legally.
It's amazing legally.
Oh, I think Chicago's coming after him, though.
You think so?
Nah.
Yeah.
Didn't they say that they were going to-
They're trying to get him for the money.
For the money that they spent.
But that's not that much.
There's no such thing as cancel culture no more.
Cancel culture is absolute bullshit, bro.
Ooh.
Real.
OJ Simpson proved that.
Ooh.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, when Bill Cosby comes home he'll
be on the road doing a motherfucking stand-up r kelly's still out here selling shows like
charlie sheen is still out here flourishing like charlie sheen ducked it all dude what
wait a minute not wait a minute not all he did get that AIDS. He's got AIDS, buddy. He got the AIDS.
He got the good AIDS.
Today with medication.
Exactly.
What is AIDS?
Man.
What is HIV? You're worse off getting the flu.
Come on, man.
Man, what is HIV?
Yeah, what is it?
Some say the greatest endorsement deal Magic Johnson ever signed.
I'm saying we're not going to act like his career didn't flourish.
And it looks great
Take this aid
You're gonna get some movie theater
I was in my car
The day they announced
On the radio
That Magic Johnson
Had HIV
And I was shit in my pants
I was like
Oh my god
This is like the beginning
Of a zombie movie
We're all gonna get it
If Magic Johnson
With all his money
And all his fame
If he's got it
I'm gonna get it
We're all gonna get it
I was terrified
Did you stop brawling?
I remember in my car
Driving And then I hear it on the radio.
I'm like, holy shit.
Holy shit, this is insane.
30 years later, he looks great.
He looks amazing.
He looks great.
He's on TV telling us why he left the motherfucking Lakers.
He's like, fuck the Lakers.
Not once did somebody say, yo, you know Magic got HIV?
Oh, I said it.
This is how you-
Shut up.
No, you didn't.
That's all I was thinking about every time I see him.
Knock it off.
Because he looks incredible.
He does look incredible.
He does look incredible.
Yeah.
He does look incredible.
He's not even positive in tests anymore.
Wait, what?
Yeah.
I heard that.
Yeah.
If you give him a test for HIV, he comes up negative.
Because apparently these protease inhibitors and all these different things that they take
to the different medications, you don't even test positive for hiv anymore by the way then listen it was this it was this older
white dude and i forgot what tv show i was on the set of but he was explaining to me the whole
situation with magic and he was like the reason that they chose magic was because they wanted to
erase a lot of these stigmas people thought that uh hiv and age was a gay disease and they needed
like a alpha male i guess to to have it to kind of erase that stigma and to let people know that
you can live with it like hiv like they gave it to him well this is what he told us this is not
by the way this is not a charlemagne all right i'm telling you what somebody told me
what they said to me was magic had got caught up in some type of scandal.
Oh, I heard this.
Underage, right?
Yeah.
And before the scandal came out, because the person that he was with was like some-
Allegedly.
Some big wigs child or something like that.
And so they said, this is what you're going to do so we don't ruin you.
I'm not saying it's true. Now, Joe, before you take this in're going to do so we don't ruin you i'm not
saying it's true before you take this in he believes in sasquatch no i'm not saying he
believes sasquatch was real that just started right now on this podcast if i asked him yesterday
he'd be like 100 there's i'm not saying i believe that magic theory i'm just repeating what i was
told that that is a common rumor that's out there i've heard that i've heard that rumor is right
that he doesn't actually have it but that it was either that or.
But we just got done saying how you read rumors about you that are ridiculous and you go,
what the fuck?
And then you realize, oh, this is what happens.
People just make shit up and then people repeat the shit that people make up.
Because we can't fathom that he beat AIDS, bro.
AIDS was bodying people back in the day.
Freddie Mercury.
Freddie, gone. Yeah. Who else? back in the day. Freddie Mercury. Freddie.
Gone.
Yeah.
Who else?
Eazy-E.
Eazy-E, my downstairs neighbor.
Yeah.
He was your downstairs neighbor?
No, no.
I had a downstairs neighbor who had AIDS.
You've got to put a comma on this shit, man.
I'm just saying.
Listen.
You can't throw that in the cinema.
He's the neighbor with AIDS don't know I paused there
I learned about AIDS
Real young
My downstairs neighbor
I thought Andrew
Was in his 30s
I'm like
Easy E was your
Downstairs neighbor
I was like
What the
Look at Charlie Sheen
Look at him yo
Book Charlie Sheen
For 350 bucks
Book him where
On Cameo
Oh
Oh on Cameo
What the fuck is Cameo
Why does he have
Sunglasses on
Like what is happening here
What is What is he doing yeah
he's strange somebody i was just showing you what he's up to he aged very quickly it's like see he
seemed to be fine when he was doing two and a half men when he stopped doing that show he aged like
a hundred years joe he has hiv we don't know how it's affecting him too i forgot he has exactly
i forgot everybody everybody's not Magic Johnson here, okay?
I forgot he has it.
I'm saying.
Magic.
By the way, that is why I say Magic is like the greatest NBA player of all time.
Why?
Because of that.
He played 13 seasons in the NBA, went to nine NBA finals, won five of them, won in college,
came in, won his rookie year, and went one-on-one
with HIV and fucking won.
Destroyed it.
He destroyed the stigma of HIV.
He definitely did.
Anybody that catches HIV right now, the first thing you're going to say to yourself is,
give me magic, doc.
I can live through anything if magic made it.
Real talk.
You know what I'm saying?
30 years later, he's okay.
It's not a death sentence anymore.
That's it.
And by the way-
What's worse, herpes all over your dick for life.
Not that it comes back and forth, but it's always there.
Open blisters.
Forever?
Forever.
Or having HIV.
Definitely.
Herpes.
It's worse.
Ah, yeah.
Because HIV, they can basically cure it.
If you have just the herpes on your dick forever, meaning those blisters don't go away, you
can't even fuck.
It'll hurt.
No, the blisters go away.
No, but he's saying that you get it forever.
Do they?
Yeah.
You have heartbreaks.
I'm saying this specific type of real hardcore herpes,
they never go away.
They're just always there.
They have one that doesn't go away?
Hypothetically.
We're just having a hypothetical.
I don't want no hypothetical herpes.
Did you ever see the Damon Wayans bit about Magic
when Magic came back to the NBA?
No, no.
Nobody wanted to block him.
Except Dennis Rodman.
Dennis Rodman was like, fuck you, I'll spit in your mouth and accelerate your symptoms.
Bro.
Just two people don't give Damon Wayans enough credit.
Damon's a goat, man.
He's one of the greatest of all time.
Damon's a goat.
Don't give him enough credit.
He is.
We had to actually delete a Damon Wayans joke from the
Breakfast Club
because it used to play
like you know
you have stuff that plays
as a loop
we had to delete it
once the Me Too
Time's Up era came
can you say it
I mean I'll say it
Damon Wayans
Damon Wayans
was on the Breakfast Club
and he was talking about
the Bill Cosby situation
and he just goes
yo man have you seen the women that are the Bill Cosby situation and he just goes, yo man,
have you seen the women
that are accusing Bill Cosby?
They're all unrapable.
Damon Wayans said that.
I was like,
you know what?
Swinging for the fences.
He always has.
Always has.
He doesn't give a fuck, man.
But we do.
So that's why we took
that shit out of rotation.
I understand.
I understand.
Not taking the heat
for somebody else's words.
Dennis Rodman said,
I'll spit in your mouth
And accelerate your symptoms
Bro
Think about when
Karl Malone
Think about Karl Malone
Everybody
Right now Karl Malone
Would get so much flack for this
What'd he say?
But in the 90s
What he said made sense
Oh
Cause none of us really knew
What HIV AIDS was
Do you remember what he said?
What'd he say?
Oh about
Karl was like
I'm not playing basketball with him
Like what if I hit him
And he starts bleeding
And he gives me like
But that was what A lot of people were thinking sure how could you
be mad at him for not knowing for being ignorant about mosquitoes remember that yes i do what about
mosquitoes i mean yeah that's reasonable though right i think what works with ebola and other
shit no they can give you birth or some shit or malaria why can't they give you some hiv bro we
used to be we used to be somebody said you can't get it in your mouth.
I thought this was propaganda, but like, you can't get it in your mouth.
Well, if something comes in your mouth?
Yeah, you can't get it.
Did magic tell you that?
What?
What?
Free tickets to the movie theater for life?
What?
By the way...
What are you talking to that show?
What?
That would be the line, right?
If you got HIV AIDS, like, look, you can't get it.
You can't get it.
There's no way to get it, though.
It just comes in your mouth. It just comes in your mouth.
It just comes in your mouth.
Don't worry.
That would be the line.
That would be the line, bro.
Oh, my God.
Did you just put it up?
All the mosquitoes are carriers of yellow fever, dengue fever, Japanese encephalitis.
Encephalitis.
There's no evidence that mosquitoes can transmit HIV.
Studies with HIV have shown clearly the virus disappears in the mosquito after about one to two days.
Yeah, but what if that shit bites you and then bites you?
Bro, look at that last line.
I've never heard it described like that.
The time required for the mosquito to digest the blood meal?
Ew.
Jesus Christ.
They don't even talk about vampires like that.
The blood meal.
So that means if they get someone who's got HIV and then they get to you within one to two days,
doesn't that seem like it would get you?
Bro.
That's all I'm saying.
It's a reasonable thing to ask.
These are reasonable things to ask.
I don't have to worry about shit like that.
I'm married.
Well, the real fear is pandemic diseases.
I'm out to game.
Yeah, but not for fucking.
We're talking about you're on the beach In Anguilla Some dude with
Charlie Sheen's next to you
Spitting in you
Spitting in your mouth
Yeah
Just some tiger blood
Jesus Christ
Tiger blood
You remember when people
Used to use that
Hashtag tiger blood
Hashtag winning
Yo Charlie had a moment
He had a moment
He had a moment
HIV killed his moment
That was the thing
That killed his moment
That's the only thing
We couldn't handle
That's the only thing That's the only thing we couldn't handle. That's the only thing.
Before that,
he was his fucking name.
You're not winning anymore, bro.
You got the him.
Yeah, that winning shit
don't sound too,
I don't believe you, right?
He's coughing.
You know what I mean?
You're not winning, bro.
Yeah, he was just a wild dude.
You know why I don't,
the difference between
Magic and Charlie,
I don't think Charlie
was ever cool to anybody.
Magic was cool to people.
Yeah, like we wanted to be Magic at some point in our lives.
Everybody wanted to be Magic Johnson.
This is his live show.
What are you showing?
His stand-up is that big.
That was in 2011.
This was when he was on that big thing after he went crazy.
But that's the problem.
These bombed.
Well, you know what fixed that, though?
It was Russell Peters fixed that.
What?
How?
Russell Peters fixed it because he went with him.
So what happened was Charlie was trying to do it by himself and really didn't have anything
to say.
And people would get bored after a while and they would boo him and like he was like oh fuck you
i have your money and he's like a bunch of dumb shit because he tried to do this live tour but
he didn't plan it out right so then what he did is he brought russell peters with him so russell
who's the best at working the crowd right he could just make something out of nothing right so
russell just got him to talk and and then Russell would start talking shit and making
fun, and someone would say something, and Russell would incorporate that.
Russell treated it like a comedy show and turned it into something that was actually
good.
I had no clue it was good.
So then a bunch of people would go see him live.
He should have just did a fucking-
So it was, well, Russell's there, so it's going to be good because Russell's there.
Right.
Russell's going to handle it and turn it into funny.
Charlie should have just did a podcast. Yeah. That sure to do yeah when all the podcasts back then nobody
cared about podcasts it was early have some stories though dude oh yeah all those cracked
stories and the hookers if you're willing to tell them though oh he's telling he's already got aids
what's worse well you remember when he was on television he was talking about just smoking rocks
yeah just all this and the people are like what yeah like what are you saying but did that excite people in 2019 like we've seen all the
crackheads no back then it was the right window of time yeah it was like him coming through and
just being unapologetic about doing drugs and and you don't pay hookers to fuck you you pay him to
leave the kind of shit that he was saying everybody's like what it was unapologetic and that's
why it resonated and that's also why no one could get him with a Me Too thing.
It's like, of course, he'll tell you what he did.
First of all, no woman is going to say they slept with Charlie Sheen.
Now, for sure.
Yeah.
Maybe he did that to protect himself.
Shut the fuck up.
Did he mean me?
Did he mean me?
Dog, if you're about to catch that Me too, you just go, I got AIDS.
And those girls get quiet real quick.
Holy shit.
That's genius.
We just found a way around the system.
Oh, my God.
It might be a cheat code.
What if that's what Leo says every time a girl leaves the house?
Oh, by the way, positive.
Oh, my God.
You're not supposed to say shit.
Maybe he's just really nice to them.
They like him.
They don't want to fucking throw him under the bus.
Some guys are like, Leo's like that.
Drake.
I don't know about Drake.
Derek Jeter.
Oh, Derek Jeter.
Derek Jeter was giving out gift bags, baby.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Can you imagine the gift bags?
Remember when that came out?
He was giving signed baseballs.
Yeah.
Think about how many guys have gotten a signed baseball from their girlfriend as a gift.
Oh, no.
Think about what was going through their heads when they read the post that moment,
and there's this signed Derek Jeter baseball
on their fucking mantle.
Dude.
Yeah.
Your girlfriend blew Derek Jeter.
No, other girls might have,
but he was just nice to me.
He's a gentleman.
You got to earn that gift, man.
No.
You got to earn it.
What Joe's saying is very true, though.
That's why I always say,
when I see dudes still treating women like shit in 2019,
like, yeah, fucking them and kicking them out the room and like, ah, I'm not answering
the phone for an hour after I fuck.
I'm like, you're wiling.
You should be treating her with the utmost respect and being extremely nice to her because
you just never know.
Uber.
Uber.
She's your friend.
Uber.
Yes.
She should be.
Yeah, she should be your friend.
Like, I don't understand
why guys
like I don't know
I say this all the time
why do y'all still
call them women bitches
some of them are bitches
we have to acknowledge that
there's some bitches out there
some of them like it
in a positive way
like check this bad bitch out
yes
that's okay
but some of them
are just old school bitches
but there's some bitches
where it's like
you're saying it
in a derogatory way
like you can say it
in a positive way you're laughing about it or you can say it in a derogatory way. Like you could say it in a positive way,
you're laughing about it,
or you could say it
in a derogatory way.
Yeah.
Sometimes I'll say it
in a derogatory way.
As a man?
Yeah.
Because I mean it.
As a man in 2019, no.
What about twat?
I've never used that ever.
What about cunt?
Nah, I've never used cunt.
He got in trouble
for using the word cunt.
I did?
You got in trouble?
Yeah.
You're in trouble,
but you got outraged.
He's fucking arrogant at you?
Yeah.
He's Nicki Minaj fans.
I want to ask you this.
First of all,
I think what you're doing
with YouTube is genius.
It's brilliant.
You're the first comic
to really capitalize
on using YouTube.
You know,
Netflix didn't want
to give you a special.
Like, fuck,
I don't need you.
Let me do this.
It'll get more views.
And it has.
And it's been amazing.
It's been beautiful to watch.
But are you experiencing, because of the popularity increase are you experiencing some pushback on some of your
material because you go hard bro the weirdest thing no it's like we've curated an expectation
for it so the people that are going there are waiting for it it's not people who like got free
tickets from the funny bones website they know what you do they're there for it they're there to watch you talk about eating ass dude eat an ass we were
just talking about this on on a pod on uh the other day but like you're just talking about
how privileged you have to be to eat ass no seriously because think about all these third
world countries where they can't even eat food but we're so full in america republic you can't
have a fucking cocktail without almost dying you think they they're eating ass? In America, we're so full.
We got so many choices that we choose to eat ass when we want to.
For fun.
Yeah.
But bro, I'm telling you, they're not.
It's pretty amazing.
They're all leaning into it.
And I think that people have had enough with the PC shit.
So they really like to see the fact that this is out there.
And I mean, we're posting, you know, I'll tell you one thing.
The Joe Rogan effect.
We used to do a million views a week
On my YouTube channel
And I came on here
Two million now
Wow
Wow
Doubled
That's crazy
Doubled
We'll see what happens now
I mean we'll see
It was nuts bro
You get the Charlemagne effect in there too
Dude
Well we do a podcast
I mean
The channel exists because of the Charlemagne effect
My channel exists
Because we're putting the Brilliant Idiots
Idiots videos out every week on the channel like without him that channel doesn't exist i mean
like you two guys i swear to god have the biggest influence on the market and it's like he gave me
this opportunity to have all these people view and i was able to put the stuff out and luckily
they liked it but the same thing happened here we just doubled up again i mean it's crazy that
it's all dependent upon generosity and being a fan Cause that's what I do
I mean when I'm talking
To a scientist
Or talking to you
I'm a fan
I'm interested
I'm curious
And it's not like
You're putting on some fuck shit
Right
You know what I'm saying
Like Andrew's funny
He's been funny
For years
So now everybody else
Is actually realizing
What we all knew already
Yeah
And the limitations
Of like those platforms putting you on,
like Netflix or HBO or something like that,
that doesn't exist anymore.
And it's not you.
You're not playing your whole game.
You go get in those systems
and they teach you how just to shoot three-pointers.
You know what I'm saying?
Instead of fucking cultivating your whole game.
That's why, you know,
brilliant idiots,
I love brilliant idiots.
I try not to promote Brilliant Idiots.
I know this sounds crazy, right?
No, but go.
This is interesting.
Go.
And the reason I do is because I love our audience.
I love that group of people who come to listen to us every week.
They know that we just out here saying some wild shit, not even on purpose, just because
we're trying to get ideas out and we're just talking through things.
It's when you bring those outsiders in who hear you, don't know any context to nothing,
take that little piece out of context, give it to the rest of the world.
Now the rest of the world is outraged.
We didn't ask y'all to come over here any fucking way.
You know what I'm saying?
We want to be wild.
We want a place for that.
Let's talk about that because where do you think that's going?
Is outrage culture reached full outrage?
It's coming back
we turned it around
I agree
you know what's made me
think about that
two situations in the past
two weeks
I can't remember the first one
but the Whoopi Goldberg
one from yesterday
with Bella Thorne
I didn't hear it
Bella Thorne
she took some nude pictures
somebody was gonna expose them
so she just shared them
herself first
I think somebody hacked her
I don't know what it was
somebody hacked her cloud
somebody hacked her cloud
they're trying to say hey we're gonna put this out unless you give us money or some shit
she's like fucking i'm gonna put my own shit on twitter yeah so whoopi goldberg gets on a great
set of juggernauts i didn't even see it lovely whoopi gets on the view and whoopi goes look
it's 2019 when you take pictures they go up to the cloud hackers can hack you so don't take pictures
yeah she was like it's just common
sense like it's not it's not worth it just don't take the pictures everybody's like oh you're
victim shaming but i thought that i thought that was what the outrage was gonna be it wasn't they
was like oh shit whoopi you're talking super common sense now bella came out and said she
was being victim shamed but the general public on social media was like so y'all are mad at whoopi
for talking common sense and i was like And I was like, oh, shit.
You can't say it's victim shaming if she's correct.
Because we are moving into an era where all information is going to be available to everybody.
I think that's going to be a thing that we're going to have to overcome.
That privacy is going out the window.
Done.
It's not going to exist anymore.
Our expectations of privacy are so much different than people that lived in our parents' age.
Well, our kids, it's going to be even less.
And then their kids, nonexistent.
Joe, they didn't even know FDR was crippled.
That's right.
FDR was crippled?
Yeah.
See?
They didn't know.
He would literally hold himself up at the podium.
I think he got polio or some shit as a kid.
Right?
So he was paraplegic.
Yeah.
Right?
But the press respected his role as president and they respected his privacy.
I mean, he had side bitches.
He had all this shit going on.
And he would just stand up at the podium holding himself up whenever you were talking.
Everything else besides that, they kind of roll him around.
But the people didn't know because there wasn't this access.
Oh, I want us to get back to lying to each other.
Oh, talk to me.
Because think about it.
It used to be a time where you didn't know what somebody's religion was you didn't know what somebody's
political views were like you didn't like nobody knew like you just went you presented and you went
the fuck home i think we need to get back to that well i think it's too much motherfucking so every
so-called truth get back in the closet not just with your gay shit just whatever get back the
bullshit in each other everybody should just get back the bullshit in each other. Everybody should just get back the bullshit in each other.
Because guess what?
Remember how they used to say, you don't want the truth because you can't handle the truth?
That this era, the world cannot handle truth.
That's why they want to tell us about UFOs.
What?
What do you think is happening with UFOs?
They won't tell us that UFOs exist.
Because if they told us that UFOs exist, motherfuckers would probably go crazy.
When the reality is, we really probably need to know UFOs exist because it would humble the fuck out of everyone.
Well, that's the only time we get along.
Right?
Like in every movie, right?
The only time Russia and China and America get on a conference call is when the aliens are coming.
Fuck the movies.
Ronald Reagan said that in a speech in the 80s.
Ronald Reagan told Mikhail Gorbachev, why the fuck are we beefing?
Because one day we might have an extraterrestrial threat and then we got to come together. And everybody was like, why the fuck are we beefing? Because one day we might be, we might have an extraterrestrial threat, and then
we got to come together. And everybody was like, what
the fuck is Ronald Reagan talking about?
How quickly we would put aside our differences.
We were faced with a
threat from an alien world. And everybody was like,
what does he know?
We're going to find out tonight.
Joe, we're going to find out
tonight.
By the way, I would respect your prejudice
If aliens came
And you still held on
To whatever the fuck you held on to
If you still hated black people
If you were still racist
If you were still homophobic
If you were still transphobic
After the aliens came
I'd be like shit
No this is bigger than the alien life
That's not a girl
That's a fucking dude in a dress
Men can't get pregnant
Hold on E.T.
Men can't get pregnant Oh my god I E.T. Men can't get pregnant.
Oh, my God.
I would respect the fuck out of that.
I'd be like, okay, all right.
That's how you know it's true.
That's how you know it's real.
That's what's up.
Bro, as long as it's real, I really don't have no choice but to respect it.
But I think you're right.
Even if I don't agree with it.
Joe, I think you're right.
I think we're getting to the end of outrage culture.
I think it's almost over.
We put out a clip this last week Of there was this kid
In the front row
In a wheelchair
Heckling me
I saw that
Son
That was hilarious
And we went back and forth
And initially I put it out
Like oh fuck
What's gonna happen
Am I gonna have these
Like you know
People rolling up to my shows
And like fucking
Posts and stuff
No you handled it really well
He was also a special kid
Yeah
He had something
You know how people have it
You remember around people
And they just have a fucking
Yeah
Like they have a
You know who has it Ari Ari Ari Shafir he has this fucking i don't know
there's something i just when i'm around him i just like him yeah i just kind of want him to
tell me his opinions on shit you just ask him how do you feel about yeah but he's just he's like how
do you feel about carpets and he'll just fucking tell you like i'm done with him whatever so it's
like he just had this thing and he had such positive energy and i'm making fun of the guy
from fucking being in a wheelchair and he's making fun of me for having a shitty upper body.
And like, literally, I go to him, I was like, I said, you know, your upper body's pretty good.
And he goes, what's your excuse?
Like, quick, quick.
And we have this moment and no backlash.
Here's the thing.
It was cool.
No backlash should matter except for the guy in the wheelchair.
Right.
If everybody else is like, oh, why the fuck are you picking on him?
If the guy in the wheelchair don't care and the guy in the wheelchair is going back and forth, why the fuck are you jumping in this?
There's never people that have it.
Never.
It's always parents of people that have things.
Like when there was this person that had a seizure in one of my videos, everybody who had seizures was cool with it.
It was always a parent of a kid who had a seizure who was like, my son suffers from
how dare you put a clip up like that.
So it's always offense on behalf of.
Because I really think that people who suffer for things, they've went through way harder
things than a joke.
Yeah.
And they actually like that they're being spoken to as a regular person in the audience,
not babied like every other part of their life.
Can I get the door for you?
Can I get?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like they, all right, for for the first time I'm in it I don't I don't I don't
post I won't post or like make jokes or talk shit about something that I
wouldn't want to happen to me or somebody I love though right you know
I'm saying like yeah I can handle right you know I'm saying yeah like HIV AIDS I
don't want it
if i got it i wouldn't trip you know if i got it i wouldn't trip too hard you know what i mean it's not what we used to think it was so it's a different thing yeah do you know what bug catchers
are yeah what's a bug go around fucking people who have those they try to get it yeah there's
a bunch of guys in the gay community we're trying to get HIV. You know who heard that? Yeah. That should make my screen crawl.
Hold on.
Self-loathing people that wanted to get HIV.
And this was back in the day where it was a death sentence.
There was a lot of guys that were doing that.
Hold on.
Their goal?
Their goal.
Yeah.
They would put out ads like Craigslist looking for HIV positive guys to give me the bug. This is why cults happen because people need to be part of something.
It's like in them. Imagine one imagine some people are just broken exactly because i heard about that 20
years ago and i thought that was crazy but now that i'm thinking about it i'm like what was
their life like yeah i need to know what their life was like if they had something to lose if
they was actually successful would they be doing that yeah i didn't know what kind of people were out there trying to catch this bug.
There's every step in the spectrum of crazy.
You think about it
and there's a whole fucking category
of people that are doing that.
So bug catching was one of them.
It was a big thing
where guys were actively going out
and trying
and guys who had HIV
were trying to go give it to people.
That's why the thing with karma
I don't even necessarily
believe in karma anymore
because every day of our life
we're trying to avoid crazy.
Right?
Yeah.
But you can't.
You know what I'm saying?
When a guy comes in
with a gun
and he shoots up
a motherfucking school
like what are we
supposed to do?
We didn't do anything
to cause that
but he's got something
going on with his life
that caused him to snap
and it affected us. Like if you're walking down the street and you know a guy's just angry
about something he bumps into you and you're like oh excuse me he's like what the fuck you mean
excuse me and he's ready to fight that don't got nothing to do with you right that's got everything
to do with him so you really can't avoid this crazy yeah that exists i had a conversation with
someone they were talking about like everything in your life you have manifested and created i go
okay explain babies who get shot
and drive-bys.
Shut the fuck up.
There's random things that happen.
Kids get leukemia.
What, would they do something bad?
Come on.
Shit's bigger than you.
That's the thing that people hate to hear.
We are a very small part
of this big fucking ecosystem.
We really think that everything in our life
is that important
that it could affect the world?
Get the fuck out of here.
Sometimes- There's too many random factors you know you think about the secret like
the law of attraction your thoughts become things i think the thing that we forget about that is not
only do our it's not just our thoughts it's our actions you know what i'm saying it's not like
you're just sitting around you didn't think you didn't sit around and think about doing this you
actually put in some fucking work that's the difference between the secret and reality is
that people think that you think things into existence
But no
When you're successful
And people say
What did you do?
Well I thought this into existence
Show me how you did that
Well I got up every morning at 6am
And I fucking hustled to the gym
And then I wrote jokes all day
There you go
Okay listen bitch
You did this
You put in the work
Yeah yeah
You put in the work
It's like literally if somebody says to you
Hey one day you're going to win the lottery.
So you just sit at home all day waiting to win the lottery.
Get up and go to the fucking store and buy a Powerball ticket.
You know what I'm saying?
I think Chappelle had that joke.
He's like, you don't think there are starving kids in Africa thinking about food?
Right.
They thinking.
That's the truth.
They're thinking about a nice roast beef sandwich.
It ain't coming.
Exactly.
Now, don't get me wrong.
There's plenty of things that I've thought about that I've manifested.
But like you said, I took the steps to go put in the work.
You focused.
There's a process.
Discipline.
I got this theory called putting the weed in the bag.
You know what I'm saying?
And it came from the movie Belly because Nas and DMX was sitting at this table with these
two young kids and they were bagging up the weed.
And all the kids were like, yo, I want to go out there and get money with y'all.
I want to go out there and get money.
And DMX was like, put the weed in the bag first.
Then go out there and get money.
You have to go through the process.
So it can start with a thought,
but you still got to execute.
Put some fucking work in.
I remember I was talking to this girl.
She was a friend of a friend of mine,
and she was telling me how I found the secret,
and my life is going to be amazing now,
and I'm going to get married,
and I'm going to meet the right man.
And everybody's like, OK.
And then I ran into her like a year later.
She came to one of my comedy shows.
And I'm like, how's everything going?
She's like, I don't get it.
I've been using the secret.
But my life is a mess.
My father's in jail.
Everything is chaos.
She was a sweetheart of a person.
But she really believed that her life was going to transform.
I'll never forget the juxtaposition of those two conversations.
That's why the positions that we're in in media, you have to be very responsible with these positions.
Malcolm X said that.
Malcolm X said the person who controls the media controls the minds of the masses.
So you have to be very, very responsible.
I remember when you used to get a lot of flack for putting on just different voices
that people didn't agree with
yeah
and they'd be like
why are you giving these people
a platform
a platform
I'm like yo
everybody deserves to be heard
yeah
I guess
not everybody
but just
I want to know
how people think too
I want to
even if I don't agree with them
especially people you don't agree with
a conversation isn't a cosign
and I think that's what we
we often mistake.
Well, in this day and age, too, especially on the left, so many people are talking about deplatforming.
They want to deplatform people.
I don't like that.
I don't like that.
I don't like it either.
I saw people getting mad at LaVar Ball this week.
You know what I'm saying?
Because of the comments he made to Molly on ESPN, which I didn't.
She was like, hey, let's shift gears.
And he was like, you can shift gears with me anytime. But he said it just like that. You can shift gears with me anytime. He didn't Which I didn't He just was like She was like Hey let's shift gears And he was like You can shift gears With me anytime
But he didn't
He said it just like that
You can shift gears
With me anytime
He didn't say
He didn't whisper
You can shift gears
With me anytime
It was a placeholder
If she had said
Hey let's switch it up
He would say
Hey you can switch it up
With me anytime
That's all
But people was like
Oh they need to stop
Putting him on ESPN
I'm like wait a minute
Calm down
Literally just last year
Y'all was saying
He was the drunk uncle
At the picnic
and you love him
or you hate him
he's good entertainment
but now because he said that
you want to take him off
and I'm like
we got to stop doing that
because guess what
every single one of us
is going to say something
that is going to offend
somebody at some point
in time
that doesn't mean
that we shouldn't have
a platform
I'm not calling for
nobody to get killed
it also makes things fun
when people say stupid shit sometimes you know when Stephenhen smith was going off about andrew louise winning the
title and about it looks like butterbean this is a disgrace there was mad like the guy is speaking
the way he would speak if you were around him yeah do you gotta appreciate that unless you want
everybody to be ryan seacrest you should fucking appreciate not there's anything wrong with ryan
seacrest but you should appreciate Someone who's just giving you
What they really think
Yes
And we do
That's why he's so popular
We pretend to hate it
But the reality is
We're gonna keep listening
The second he gets a rant
But there's also attention
A lot of people are like
Oh alright
That's
America feeds off of that shit
That's why Donald Trump
Is president
That's why the Kardashians
Are still viable
That's why the Kardashians
Are the first family
Of fucking America
There's drama every year
Every year they find
A new piece of drama
Once shit gets calm and cool
The show ends
So they need a new piece of drama
Oh you got cheated on this year
Who's gonna have a baby
You gonna be the baby
But whatever it is
Every year
Hey you gonna chop your dick off
But you know what I respect
Her for with Kim
She's getting people out of jail
She's going for it
Legitimately
I can go back before that
I respect the Kardashians
Because if we really
Really pay attention
To the Kardashians
Over the past 10 years
First of all
You gotta put them up there
With some of the greatest
Dynasties of all time
I'm talking about
This is Lakers
This is Patriots
This is fucking
They've made billions
Yes
Billions with a B
So many social conversations
Have started
Because of the Kardashians
You're talking about
Interracial relationships
You're talking about The transgender. You're talking about interracial relationships. You're talking about the transgender thing.
You're talking about drug use.
Mental health with Kanye.
Ass jobs.
Yeah.
Plastic surgery.
They did change the shape of American women.
They changed asses.
Globally.
They changed asses.
They made that whole fat relocation thing popular.
They suck it out of your waist, turn your waist into this little thing,
and turn your ass into this ridiculous platform. Well, let's be for real kim kim learned that from black
women though because people forget but but that's a bio the when when the you would look at someone
who really has it yeah it's different absolutely you see a woman who has a big ass naturally it
looks like it belongs on her yes it's a different thing yeah yeah they have thick legs right they're they're
they're fucking genetically superior they're built like a turkey they're built sexy yeah kim kim's
inspiration you know people don't remember kim came up in the the black circuit right she did
king magazine and smooth that's right that's right you know what i'm saying like she was on
wendy williams radio show earlier that's what i met her I met her when I was doing radio with Wendy
he knew her before
she was ever on anything
when she was
who's assistant
someone's assistant
she was Paris Hilton
no she used to organize
she used to organize
closets for Paris Hilton
I got an old picture
like me and Kim
from like 2006
she looked so different
wow
but I will say
she always had
that vision
she used to always say
I'm gonna do what
Paris is doing times 100.
Wow.
She did it.
She motherfucking did it.
The secret.
She used the secret.
Secret is black dick.
That's the secret.
Smoke a black cock.
It's amazing that that kicked her off because it used to be the kiss of death.
If a girl did porn, that was the end.
Lisa Ann.
Yeah.
She was the one to break that down.
Well, was it her or Jenna Jameson?
I think Jenna Jameson was the first one to become actually popular outside of porn.
Oh, I thought you meant like the first person to break like the racial barrier in porn.
Oh, yeah.
On purpose.
She was the first to break the racial barrier, but I mean doing porn, period.
Oh, yeah.
Where you could be a celeb outside of porn.
Yeah.
You talk about radio.
It's not too many people that came up off celebrity sex tapes.
It's only few and far between that really popped off.
Who made it off of sex tapes?
Do you remember when girls were showing their pussy on purpose?
Remember when they would get out of cars?
And the camera just happened to be down where their pussy is?
How the fuck did you not know that camera was down near your pussy?
They set that up.
Yeah, that became a thing.
That was a move.
That's a lot of confidence
to have a pussy.
They were climbing
out of their cars
showing their pussy.
Not a lot of witch fingers, Joe.
What is happening?
Not a lot of witch fingers.
That's all the more reason
you gotta respect Kim K, bro.
Yes.
That girl that was
hopping out of cars
and you could see her vagina
and was doing the sex tapes
is out here getting prisoners free.
She is doing that.
I don't give a fuck.
Yes.
I don't give a fuck if she's best friends with Donald Trump.
Yes.
I don't care.
See, that's my thing, right?
If you care about prison reform, you care about criminal justice reform.
Yes.
You should be happy that these people are getting out.
Yeah.
If you're worried about, oh, she's doing it in the White House with Donald Trump, who
gives a shit?
You think the guy who just did 15 years gives a fuck?
For nothing.
For nothing cares what president let him out?
Exactly.
And she doesn't have to do this.
Right.
She could just be buying cars and getting her nails done.
She's choosing to spend her time to get these people that are unjustly accused and convicted
and get them released.
And Trump, like him or not, he's listening to her and he's helping her.
But you know why?
Because he's a celebrity.
He understands the PR angle, yeah.
So you keep sending all these politicians to talk to a celebrity.
That shit goes over his head.
You've got to send another celebrity to get in his ear
because he understands that type of language.
He just understands their power.
He understands where their reach is.
He knows that Kim K doing something is way more valuable
than some random, you know,
democratic Congress person.
Well,
you're seeing that so much.
Now you look at Capitol Hill the past few weeks,
you see,
you know,
I was there,
me,
me,
T.I.
and David Gross was there talking about opportunities on legislation.
I was there with Taraji talking about bringing social,
emotional learning in schools and therapy.
You had a,
a tiny,
he see coach and Danny Glover was dead as we talking about HR 40.
You had John Stewart.
They're talking about the victims of 9-11
needing to be compensated.
Bro, I didn't even,
by the way,
the 9-11 shit,
I didn't even know
that was going on.
If Jon Stewart
hadn't have done that,
I would have never even
known that was going on
and that is fucked up
and it was a simple statement.
The people you said
you would never forget,
you forgot.
Woo!
That's not going
over nobody's head.
Anybody can get that.
You can be with no teeth
sitting in fucking South Carolina
In a trailer park
You understand
You understand that language
And again
Jon Stewart doesn't have to do that
Doesn't have to do that
Because he needs to
It's in him
Yeah
It gives you a different
Sense of purpose
Yeah
Like that's what really
Means something
When you talk to me about
Talking about anxiety
And mental health
Like the past couple years
I feel like I've been
Walking in my purpose
You know
Because I truly feel like
If we can get more people
To deal with their
Mental health issues,
you'll reduce so much
of the other bullshit
we're complaining about
in America.
The violence,
the gun shootings,
because when you got
a bunch of people
who have never dealt
with their trauma,
never dealt with their pain
and they hurt,
hurt people, hurt people.
And all we do is go around
redistributing that pain
to others.
You think murderers
and rapists do that shit
because it's for the thrill of it?
No, they are broken, damaged people people so they go and break and damage other
people yes so if you can get people to deal with their mental health issues man that's the
foundation of it all to me that's the real secret getting to the root of that shit yeah there is a
thing about about purpose that like what happens i think when when some people reach financial
independence and i mean like Fuck you money
Meaning like
You don't have to work anymore
Your family
Everything is good
You have
Some people go
Well I'm gonna get even more money
And I'm gonna become a billionaire
And a trillionaire
Whatever
And then some people go
I'm gonna live life
Instead of survive it
If you're working every week
So you can get a paycheck
There's absolutely nothing wrong with that
That's the majority of people
But you are surviving
Yes
That job is no different Than being out there in the forest trying to find some foods you
can eat we have some shelter you get financial independence you have the opportunity to truly
do whatever you want every single day of your life yes and some people go you know what i want
to do i want to go to fucking dc and help out with these causes or I want to put on a whole comedy community you know
what I mean and like you really put it on your back I want to help other people out I want to
have these conversations and just talk shit about you know fucking magic having HIV whatever it is
we're actually choosing to do the things that we enjoy because you realize what's important like
even when you're talking about something like opportunities on legislation I feel like that
goes hand in hand with mental health because the environment is so important.
So if you can,
you know,
get into these communities,
these poor and disenfranchised areas and you can start
putting things
in these communities
that people actually need,
like in the hood,
you replace the liquor stores
and the fucking chicken spots
and the check cashing places
with, you know,
juice bars
and mental health spas
and, you know,
wellness centers,
things that people
actually need. Now you're creating an things that people actually need now you're
creating an environment where people can thrive in instead of just trying to fucking survive in
yeah you know what i'm saying you can't properly deal with your mental health if you're trying to
survive every fucking day well i think what you're doing is very important is you're bringing up that
conversation that conversation wasn't taking place before the mental health conversation about
anxiety amongst cool successful people it just wasn't happening everybody was
pretending everybody was they're they're hiding from it you keep your secrets like you got you
got the float tank in your fucking compound yeah you are you telling people about that oh yeah okay
i'm one of the reasons why that thing became popular again i got one in 2002
wow yeah i just did it for the first time like two weeks ago yeah man if you go to some float
places they'll ask you how you found out about it.
It's like, did you find out from the internet, Yelp, and then they'll say Joe Rogan.
Wow.
Because I talk about it so much.
There's videos of me.
I gave one away.
I gave one away.
I had bought a new one, and I said, I'm going to give one away.
And I just got random emails, and I picked one of them.
Had it sent to this guy's house.
Had it set up.
Just because I wanted people to know about what these things are.
I've never felt stillness like I felt inside a float table house, had it set up. I just, cause I wanted people to know about what these things are. I've never felt stillness.
Like I felt inside a float tank.
Yeah.
It's amazing.
And it's like,
you know,
at first you're like,
okay,
they want you to get butt naked.
You don't know if they're recording you.
You don't know what the fuck's going on.
You know what I'm saying?
And then they're like,
nah,
it's completely dark.
You got a lot of confidence in your cock,
bro.
I wasn't even swinging that day.
I'm a,
I'm a,
I'm a grower,
not a shore.
My shit is like,
I wasn't swinging that day.
No,
I wasn't.
I actually was trying to make it a little chubby. It was a Thursday, broursday bro i can't be sweet i actually was trying to make it a little chubby
just in case you can't trust these people i don't know my fucking might be recording me in this shit
so the lights went off and it's like when you first get in it's allowing yourself to relax
because at first you're fighting it a little bit you got your head up you're like i don't know if
i'm gonna drown but when you finally just relax you don't you don't even know where the fucking
hour went right and i've never experienced a level of stillness
like that it was point it was periods where i thought i was actually i'm like am i alive right
now right because your eyes are open but it's totally dark it's totally dark so you don't know
if you're really sleep and you don't feel the water you don't feel the water you don't know
if you're in and out of consciousness it's it's it's wild everybody should do flow therapy yeah
i agree guys what is the uh hardest part about having influence
that's a nice pregnant pause that was dope right yeah and then the clock was going. You heard that clock. You heard that shit.
That was hard.
That was me switching the cameras.
Oh, the camera switching.
Well-timed.
Yeah, I don't know.
What's the hardest?
I don't think about it that way.
I think it's very, there's very few people that have the opportunity to have the kind of influence that you or I have.
Yeah.
Or you.
It's very, very strange. I think you've got to realize what harm you can do.
You've got to be careful in the kind of things you say or the kind of things you promote,
the kind of things that you sign off on or agree to.
And I think there's also a responsibility to tell people about cool shit,
tell people about things that have benefited you,
to help people about how you've overcome your own personal mistakes i think all those things are very important yeah i never i
never even thought about having influence until like the past three four years because you know
right i'm just out here doing my thing just doing it but then when you real when you realize you
are having influence and a lot of that influence could be negative yeah that's when you realize like oh shit let me make sure
i'm doing the right things with these platforms you know i mean let me make sure i'm bringing on
the right voices that people can learn from let me make sure i'm telling people about the things
in my life that are making me a better person so for me it's like the best compliment i get
nowadays and people say man you've really grown like you've you've really evolved like like it's
visible people can see it
Yeah
That right there
Let's me know
I'm putting out
The right energy
Into the ecosystem
Yeah and it also
People become inspired
To seek that same
Kind of path
When someone
In the public eye
Like yourself
And they see you grow
And expand
And change your views
On things
It also inspires
Other people
To open up themselves
And change their own perspective and enhance
their own way of looking at the world.
Yeah, I can admit when I'm wrong.
I've said a lot of fucked up wild shit.
You know what I'm saying?
You're going live on the air.
You're not reading a script.
You're free balling.
It's going to happen.
Every day.
And I think the worst thing that can happen, too, is for me, Breakfast Club has only been
going on for nine years.
So I never had experienced this level of attention.
And, you know, you start reading things about yourself in the media.
Like you read real articles.
You're like, oh, the hip hop Howard Stern.
And I'm like, oh, so I got to be like Howard?
So I got to give him more of that shit?
So what Howard, though?
Right.
Because I'm giving him a little bit of 90s Howard.
That's what I'm fucking with.
What Howard do y'all fuck with right
right you know so it's just like you can get caught up in that yeah you know you could get
caught up in what people's expectations of you are yes change you know a lot of people say that
happens to uh certain comedians they become their character dice dice yeah i was gonna bring that up
his name is andrew silverstein yeah the dice man Man was a character that he would do in his bit he would do he would do a routine
where he would be John Travolta he would do a Sylvester Stallone and then he
would do this character called the Dice Man and that part was so funny and so
good it took over his whole act yeah I went toe-to-toe with Dice one time
toe-to-toe yeah on Wendy Williams show back in the day when I was Wendy's
sidekick and you know Wendy VH1 Wendy had' show back in the day when I was Wendy's sidekick. And you know, Wendy, VH1,
Wendy had a show on VH1 and Andrew Dice Clay had a show on
VH1, so they bought him on to promote it.
And like, we just ended up going, I don't know
why the fuck we ended up going back and forth. Snapping on each other?
Yes. And like, VH1
edited it to make it look like he like
kind of fucked me up, but they kept a couple of mine
in. He was really upset.
Like, I called him, I said, you look like a fat Fonzie.
And he fucking
And he
And he
Fucking
Lost it
He was like
Who the fuck are you
You fucking carry
One of these bags
For a fucking living
And I'm like
Oh shit
It's on
I got you
It's on
I was like
You look like a fucking
You're supposed to be able
To laugh at that
I thought it was funny
I would have been able
To laugh at that
If I looked like a fat Fonzie
I'd be like
Oh shit
Damn You'd have to go Damn to laugh at that If I looked like a fat Fonzie I'd be like Oh shit Damn
You'd have to go
Damn
I was on his ass
He was like
A discontinued Terminator model
You remember the Terminator
That shit was interesting
His leather jacket
A discontinued Terminator model
But what you said is real
Because I never want to become
A caricature of myself
Right
And I feel like
It was a certain point in my life
Where I was becoming
A caricature Of myself And it's like That's not certain point in my life where i was becoming a caricature
of myself and it's like that's not real like you can't claim claim to be a real person
and be out here pretending to be real you're either real or you're not yeah and what's real
is yo being honest about going to a therapist what's real is being honest about your mental
health issues what's real is talking about being a father like like real shit like you can't always be trying to be
cool yeah that's not cool that's fake and that only existed when there was like some sort of a
you're you're projecting something you're putting something out there in these small bits when
you're doing what you do and you're talking for hours and hours on you gotta be you gotta be you
at the end of the day it's gonna come out whether you like it or not there's no other options and
the people with the longest careers i feel like are the people who evolve over time.
Boom.
Boom.
Yeah.
You could see the guys who have real growth.
Like Howard Stern in the beginning, when we really think about Howard, chicks were queefing
on speakers.
Oh, yeah.
That was a normal thing in a Howard Stern radio show is come in, who has the loudest
queef
on the speaker?
They're lucky that Tiffany Haddish
wasn't around back then.
Oh.
Because it would be over.
She sticks that microphone
in her pussy.
She makes a cannon sound.
It doesn't even make sense.
What?
She's like launching midgets
into the fucking atmosphere.
Really?
Yeah, she used to do that
all the time.
She would queef on him.
What?
She's shameless.
That lady doesn't give a fuck
Is that the equivalent of a guy stool fucker?
Like on comedy?
Oh yeah
No well there's not a lot of women that can do that
Shaw has kind of an elitist approach to comedy
It's quite interesting
He likes bars he says
He likes jokes
He doesn't like stool fucking
Stool fucking if it's the right bit can be funny
Really?
But it has to be a real comic with a real reason to fuck that stool.
There has to be something to it.
I'm trying to think if Eddie fucked that stool.
I imagine.
I don't remember Eddie fucking no stool, bro.
See, I like Eddie.
I like Richard.
I like Chris Rock.
Bless you.
I like Chappelle.
You know what I'm saying?
I like those guys that actually get on stage and say something.
Yes.
Like have something to say.
Louis C.K. has something to say. Yeah. I like people that That actually get on stage And say something Yes Like have something And have something to say Louis C.K.
Has something to say
Yeah
Like I want
I like people that have
Something to say
All that stool fucking
Is like eh
I want to get him on stage
I think he could do it
Oh you could definitely do it
I would never
Disrespect a craft like that
Well you wouldn't have
To disrespect it
You would just have to
Want to do it
And then try it
Yeah I don't want to do it
I think we do it for fun
I think we do it one time
If you don't want to do it
Don't do it
But you could do it I tried one weekend And my first joke was like You know what I'm going to sit down Because I don't want to do it. I think we do it for fun. I think we do it one time. If you don't want to do it, don't do it, but you could do it.
I tried one weekend, and my first joke was like, you know what?
I'm going to sit down because I don't want anybody to ever say Charlemagne's up here
trying to do stand-up.
