Starting point is 00:00:00 the joe rogan experience train by day joe rogan podcast by night all day and we're up all day i've been trying to recover from yesterday drinking with stanhope oh yeah he's a fun one to hang out with huh we? We did a podcast right when he was coming out of the pandemic, and I think I was probably sober or mostly sober during the podcast, and it just felt off. It felt clunky, and he felt like that too. So I'm like, this one, I'm going to make sure we do it right. And I just got blasted with him.
Starting point is 00:00:42 We just drank whiskey and got fucked up and talked for like, how long was it? Three and a half hours. Three and a half hours. Wow. And a couple of pee breaks and just obliterated. I don't remember half what we talked about. He's so fun. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:56 Last night was incredible. Last night was insane. Yeah. First of all, let's tell everybody you're going to be in Phoenix this weekend, stand up live, which is an awesome club. And maybe I'll drop in on Friday because I're going to be in Phoenix this weekend, Stand Up Live, which is an awesome club. And maybe I'll drop in on Friday because I'm going to be there for the UFC. Beautiful. Let's have some fun.
Starting point is 00:01:12 We'll have some fun. The great and powerful William Montgomery will be there as well. And then last night we do a show at Vulcan, and who goes on stage with us but motherfucking Roseanne Barr wow what a clinic she hadn't been on stage in years in years and it and she killed just as hard as anybody god what a round of applause she got when she went up there natural freak talent killing the whole time getting little tiny standing ovations throughout totally like the way she moved the way she talked her pacing her timing felt so natural and conversational and she wasn't even planning
Starting point is 00:01:52 on going up yeah this is what's crazy she hadn't gone on stage in years and she did it and then afterwards she she felt fucking great she was hanging out in the green room she was all fired up yeah and she's like, I wanna fucking move here. Yeah. She's the best. She belongs here. She's the vibe. Yeah, well, her daughter lives here. So I think we got a real good shot of getting her here. I hope so.
Starting point is 00:02:16 Oh my god. She is... I mean... Last night was special. It really was. Doug Stanhope, Ron White, you, Hans Kim, Roseanne Barr, and barr and me yeah what a fucking lineup what a fucking lineup so fun hey you want to know something funny about this picture you see that bottle that stanhope has of mineral water well there's cigarettes in there you see that yes a few minutes after this picture was taken he took a huge gulp of that, forgetting that it was an ashtray.
Starting point is 00:02:47 And he handled it so funny. He made sure everybody knew, and he made a funny face. And, like, he really milked it like a real comedian. We found out yesterday that Stan Hope had COVID, and he never even knew. He goes, I've been dealing with COVID-like symptoms for the last 30 years. That's 30 years of being hungover. 30 years of being hammered mostly every day. The rare breed.
Starting point is 00:03:19 You know how many comedians fail because he drinks on stage? There's so many comedians that think they can drink on stage and do good because of him. Or they could be like him yeah yeah but they don't have a point right like he writes the thing about doug stanhope is doug stanhope may be a guy who loves to drink he is well fuck maybe he's he's a guy who loves to drink yeah but he also loves to write he writes a lot he's got a laptop sits down with it he makes notes drinks coffee smokes cigarettes writes, writes. He is dedicated to being a comic and a writer. He writes. And that's a lot of the guys that go on tour
Starting point is 00:03:53 and try to emulate that thing. They leave out part of it. They leave out that part. I've been into this audio book by Steven Pressfield, The War of Art. I just finished it, and now I'm on his other book that he has. It's a similar sort of vein. It's called Turning Pro. But one of the things in Turning Pro, it's like talking about the things that people do to distract them from the work. And that one of the things they'll do is that a lot of people who they romanticize the lifestyle of being like a rock and roll star right out on the road but they're doing the drugs and you know they're they're boozing and partying that's like part of the lifestyle but what they're not doing is the writing they're not doing the work they're
Starting point is 00:04:39 not being a pro they're just distracting themselves with the nonsense aspects of it the partying aspects of it not the getting better at the art form aspects of it right stanhope has a good balance he writes a lot like he you know you see him and he's got points there'll be something new about you know anything that's going on that's pertinent that's in the news he's got new bits yeah it uh that's sort of what you're saying sort of reminds me of Dave Attell, who I feel like amongst comedians is considered one of the best in the world right now. One of the best of all time. Yeah. And he was the party guy forever.
Starting point is 00:05:18 Yeah. Right? The insomniac going out, up everywhere. maniac going out up everywhere. And I remember, I mean, well, first of all, he's sober now. But I remember when I got to work at the comedy store, when I started working there 15 years ago, I was also working to make extra money at a coffee shop right next to it. And I would work really, really, really early mornings, like this 6am to 11am shift, because then I would go work phones at the comedy store all day and then at the comedy store at night. So I was just working all day. Anyway, there was a lot of times where I would be at the comedy store until 2.30 a.m.
Starting point is 00:05:55 And Atel, if he was visiting from New York, would be there, you know, watching or going up or hanging out or both. And I would work these shifts four hours later at Starbucks and he would be there reading the newspaper with a notebook, like literally grinding and grueling out the work, not on his cell phone reading, like absorbing actual paper, you know, reading material and kicking out writing immediately. Like someone who's about to start,
Starting point is 00:06:25 not like someone who's a 20-, 30-year veteran of the game. And he takes it that seriously, and it shows continuously throughout his work. Everybody that is great is doing the work. Yeah, there's no substitute. There's no substitute, and the universe rewards you. Life rewards you for the amount of effort you put into something. The amount of attention and focus you put into something will be represented in how good you get at it. It doesn't mean that everybody starts from the same place.
Starting point is 00:06:54 Some people have more natural talent. Some people have more natural insight. Some people are just funnier when they start. But it is really about the amount of time and focus you put in and how much better you get. There's a lot of people that have like maybe a natural personality for standup, but they're lazy and they don't get much better because they don't write. And so they kind of develop this sort of passable act and never really improve upon it because they don't spend the time doing it. Whereas someone who wasn't as good as them initially will be far better than them at the end.
Starting point is 00:07:25 Yeah. It's just time. It's time and focus. I think that would apply to everything. I think it would apply to fucking playing the guitar or writing books or whatever the fuck you're doing. It's time and effort. Time and effort and there's no substitute for those things. And thinking.
Starting point is 00:07:41 And being, you know, really thinking. Like being honest about what you're doing. Looking at it and go, God, is this good? Like let let me look at this again. Let me look at those fresh eyes. Let me go walk around the block and think about it. You know, that's part of it too. One of the things that Pressfield talked about is also something that Stephen King would talk about is that he would write and then he would go for walks after the writing, which is very common amongst writers. They like to go for walks afterwards and review the notes in their head, and Pressfield would take a little recorder with them, but obviously you can use your phone, and just use the voice memos
Starting point is 00:08:12 and just talk into your phone and say, you know, I have this thing about page 5, I feel like this is off, or chapter 6 is a little flat, maybe this is a new solution. Yeah, walking helps a lot no doubt that's one of those things that we would do in the writer's room a bunch of sloppy lazy bum writers in the roast writer's room would we don't we would have to take a break because it's the blood just circulates around your head all day and then after four or five hours especially after lunch you have to get the things rolling again. So, yeah, it changes perspective.
Starting point is 00:08:49 But most importantly, it just really gets the blood flowing. Especially after lunch if you're eating bread. Yeah. Guys who eat sandwiches, like big sub sandwiches for lunch, they're useless after lunch. It's so true. And I remember we used to literally order from a place called, I don't know if it still exists in L.A., but it was called It's All About the Bread. And it was the thickest because it was jeff ross's show basically in his office and we know like anybody that knows anything about jeff knows he doesn't give a fuck about what he eats like he
Starting point is 00:09:15 he's always smashing food he has the fastest metabolism out of anybody in the world how's that possible i don't know but he's so big he big. That goes to show you how much he eats. I mean, the man is always snacking on something. Really? Yeah. He just burns it by whatever, thinking all the time or whatever's going on. But, oh, so there was just no, there was no like, let's eat something healthy today. Because like, he doesn't give a fuck.
Starting point is 00:09:42 So we used to order from this place. It's all about the bread. And we would all crash so hard. We would have to drink seven cups of coffee to even come back from it. But it was like a drug. It was like doing bread heroin or something in the afternoon time. Yeah, sandwiches are the worst for that. Like a big sub sandwich because you think about it.
Starting point is 00:10:00 When do you ever eat a piece of bread that big? Right. Never. And then a piece of bread that big stuffed with meat and cheese and fucking mayonnaise and shit. This was like a baguette. I remember the exterior was hard. It was like very textured, like tough, and tons of bread in between the starting point and that hard outer shell. Your body has to break all that down.
Starting point is 00:10:22 It's just glue in your stomach just clogging up your brain. But meanwhile, if Jeff eats something like that, he turns into the Incredible Hulk for like 25 minutes after that. Everybody's just dying of laughter about anything, whatever happens. He's a special guy. So he just gets excited about the food, and that makes him happy, and then he's a special guy so he's just gets excited about the food and that makes him happy and then he's funnier 100 yeah stanhope and i were talking about this yesterday because stanhope had no idea that he had covet we were talking about this i remember in like the brief flashes that i can remember of our drunken conversation i was like i wonder how much of
Starting point is 00:11:02 a factor stress plays into people getting sick because how is he okay? Stan hopes chain smokes drinks constantly. Yeah, he's basically my age couple months older than me and Nothing's wrong with him Allegedly hasn't been to a doctor in years Like in forever. He was why would you go they just fucking give you a bad news? Like, in forever. He goes, why would you go?
Starting point is 00:11:23 They just fucking give you bad news. And he goes, just fucking live until it breaks. That's like his thought process. Just live until his body breaks. It was interesting watching him go face-to-face with Ron White last night. And the first thing that Ron said to him was, Doug, I'm sorry. I couldn't fight the fight anymore for us drunks like it was he was like
Starting point is 00:11:45 apologizing to doug for having to back out of the game you know ron after 50 years of daily tequila drinking like i wish i could still be in the fight with you my friend meanwhile here's the thing like just like david tell ron white is better than ever yeah ron white is on fire right now and i've never seen like he's always been a great comic but I've never seen him better and I think the same about Dave Attell Dave Attell when he stopped drinking like I remember his booze and days he was always great but he's better now he's better now and it's there's a thing where like people think that the booze is what helps them it makes them loose and it makes them relaxed and yeah i mean it could kind of help a
Starting point is 00:12:25 little bit it can get you loose it can it can but not if it's a problem not if it's an alcohol problem not if like you need to drink all the time or you need to be drunk innate for you to be able to go on stage that's not none of those things are good and the thing is about it wrecks your fucking body, man. It wrecks your body. It takes away all of your vitality. And so when it takes away your vitality, your energy to create is like it's compromised. Your energy to just live life and to have inspired thoughts, you're fucking hurting all the time, which is even more impressive how Stan Hope and Ron White were so good for all those years. Yeah, it sort of goes both ways.
Starting point is 00:13:13 I feel like there's almost kind of an art, and we see this, right, with a lot of these guys, that I think there's almost something to the art of getting wasted and laying in bed the next day thinking about what's next. I'm not positive of what Chappelle's writing process is at all, but I have a feeling that he's thinking about stuff while recovering the next morning. Cause when else would he do it? And by morning, I mean basically afternoon, right?
Starting point is 00:13:37 Cause he goes hard in the paint. He has a lot of fun. And, uh, you know, we see it on stage all the time at the comedy store he would you know just plow through bottles of corona another corona another corona another corona and he stays in the zone he's hilarious but obviously he's not coming up with this stuff right off the top of
Starting point is 00:13:54 his head in the moment the magician always has his stuff set up right so like there's almost something to and i'd be interested to know maybe you know what doug's process is but it seems like laying in bed that next morning with a hangover and being thinking of something that really stands out to you might sort of be good for that art form because if you can make it funny then if you could think about it then with a headache and your body's sore and you don't want to get out of bed then then it must be funny, right? Does that kind of make sense? Kind of. What Doug does, one of the things that Doug does is his podcast.
Starting point is 00:14:30 And Doug's podcast is basically, I mean, occasionally he has guests on, but oftentimes it's just him and his buddies, right? So they're all hanging around the house and they're at the fun house and they have the setup there. And it's basically Doug holding court talking about things and in a similar vein to the way Bill Burr creates on his podcast because Bill Burr is one of the most prolific comics and I'm pretty sure the way he writes is he thinks about stuff he has things that piss him off and then he goes on his podcast
Starting point is 00:15:00 and rants about him and in that that ranting, the constant ranting, he creates these things that are like, oh, there's like a glimmer of light in that. There's like a beacon of hope in this bit. Let me turn that into an actual routine. And then I've seen him on stage and I've seen stuff that I've listened to him talk about on his podcast. He then brings to the stage and he refines it
Starting point is 00:15:22 and he makes it better. Yeah, he's incredible. I once made an interesting rookie mistake when I was, again, back when I was a door guy at the store. I had never spoken with him before, really, and I had never said anything to him. And he said hi to me one night after he performed on stage and it absolutely killed so hard.
Starting point is 00:15:46 I can't remember what the news story was at the time, but something had just happened days earlier and he was killing for 10 minutes about it. And he came up and he said, hi, as I'm on the stool on his way to his car in the parking lot, I'm working the back door. And since he said hi to me, I decided to engage. And I said something like, hey, hey man I just want to let you know that was amazing up there it's crazy
Starting point is 00:16:08 how easily you could take something that just happened and and kill with it like that and he goes easy I'm like yeah he goes there's nothing easy about that I've been writing every day
Starting point is 00:16:24 since that happened for the last three days from nine to 4 PM. I've been writing. So while you've been doing whatever you've been doing, like nothing is easy. There's nothing easy about it. I sat down and I wrote all that. Like he like taught me like an amazing lesson. It was really cool. I was just trying to give him this compliment. And instead gave me you know a really really great insight on how that world works and you see it with the last dance you know jordan practicing all the time staying after practice arriving early to practice it there it's a constant the same with the tiger woods documentary you find out oh oh all he does is practice all these people that do all these things it's work that's um also another book that
Starting point is 00:17:06 i've finished again recently that i've reread is malcolm gladwell's outliers same thing putting in the time like what makes someone exceptional what's it what makes someone stand out from anyone else and one of the things he talked about is the beatles and how often the beatles would play when they were in hamburg that they would play eight hours a day and they were constantly playing. They were constantly playing. So when they went back to Liverpool years later, they're like fucking phenomenally better. Yeah. Yeah. It's just time, time and effort and inspiration and, and being fired up to do something. You know, we were talking about this yesterday that one of the things that happened during the pandemic was a lot of people realized that comedy was almost taken away from everybody.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Because it was for a little bit. There was no comedy for a little bit. And that time, it made you really sit and reflect that comedy has been a weekly part of our lives except for rare occasions. Like rare occasions where you take a little bit of a time off, you know? Yeah, our friends, The Nether Hour, they totally started everything that they did together
Starting point is 00:18:07 during the pandemic like they didn't they didn't they had never even played together really yeah those guys and they're like you're a bass player you're a yeah no way so it was totally that's crazy because those guys are so good together yeah and they have all those original songs and they are you know writing and performing all the time. But when you said that thing about the Beatles in Hamburg, it made me think of that because they were like locked in together every single day. And all they had were their instruments. So like what else did they have to do? That was it.
Starting point is 00:18:37 That's where it's at, man. It's just getting obsessed with stuff. You know, we've been doing so many shows lately. Like didn't you feel that way in colorado like after we had done like four shows on a weekend like we're getting locked in yeah you know because we're just doing so many sets so much stage time and so many people so many different crowds you're experiencing you know so we did sunday we did tuesday wednesday and then we flew out to color and did Friday and Saturday in
Starting point is 00:19:06 Colorado so just bang bang bang bang and you did Monday too because kill Tony yeah so bang bang bang bang bang it's like you know we're so lucky dude comedy is a fucking amazing thing it really is an amazing thing so much fun so this fucking Dave Chappelle thing is crazy. Last night, I guess it was, someone attacked him at the Hollywood Bowl. He's fine. I checked in with him today. He was laughing about it. He's in good spirits. There's a video, actually.
Starting point is 00:19:35 He was laughing like right afterwards. Yeah. Because Jamie Foxx apparently had a cowboy hat and he jumped on stage to help. Jamie Foxx with a cowboy hat jumped on stage to fuck that dude up the guy was uh five foot that that arm's broken by the way that arm's fucked there is also like the way they led him into the um the like when he got into the actual stretcher you could see he's fucked it's so funny you can tell the type of beat up that somebody is when they're getting kicked on the ground by different from different angles by different people it's a different type of like beat up look yeah you could tell that that left that that left
Starting point is 00:20:15 side of his face was the side that was either on the ground or totally like away from everything the other side was getting punched everything Everything's swollen on the one side. Yeah, he's fucked. That guy, Jesus Christ. You could tell. You can always tell because you saw the actual video? I saw the video. First of all, Dave Chappelle has good hips.
Starting point is 00:20:36 Yeah? The guy shoots in on him. Yeah, he almost sprawled on him. And he kind of turned with him. He kind of kung fu'd him. Yeah. He came a little like Hito. Have you watched the video as the guy's coming in he's coming in this way and dave kind of like turns a little and it's balls
Starting point is 00:20:50 too chapelle's a big boy bigger than you think he is well the guy's crazy clearly there's something wrong with him look at this and i mean there's just no way to describe how not expecting that you are when you're on stage yeah look at he just runs away and then the comedian clicks in and he comes back because he's like wait i have to it's my mic right now look at this guy running oh my god that guy's never tackled anybody in his life no chapelle almost almost makes it clear out all the way. Yeah, almost. If he just had a little training. See, that was all an instinct. If he just had a little training. Imagine if he just punted that dude in the head when he went down.
Starting point is 00:21:33 Yeah, one of those Masvidal knees. There is no security in the front row at this thing. There should have been someone there that was scanning the audience for fucking weirdos. They're ready to sprint. Crazy. Well, we live in strange times man i mean and after the chris rock thing that was one of the things i was worried about i was like people are thinking they're gonna start smacking comedians now they don't like what they're saying and what i'm thinking or what i'm worried about is uh you know people think that's justified like
Starting point is 00:22:02 people keep they keep using the same things. I saw an article. They said his transphobic statements. They're not fucking statements. They're jokes. They're not jokes that are transphobic either. They're jokes that feature trans people. They're not transphobic jokes.
Starting point is 00:22:20 His whole bit in that last special that everybody was mad at is essentially a love letter to his friend That killed herself because she was supporting him and she got attacked on stage The idea that that in somehow or another is transphobic just because he's talking about a trans person is fucking crazy Right, it's and then they just don't want to be talked about that's what essentially what it is like they're saying it's transphobic if you're even mentioning trans people as a subject which is bonkers yes because it's really the opposite right that that means that they're equal if you're being included in an american free conversation and obviously a comedy set like that means that you're part of the everything else you're now yeah i mean
Starting point is 00:23:05 we of course everything's part of the everything else but it's like if there's stuff that you cannot discuss at all because it's so hot the subject can't be brought up well this is we this is a nonsense way of communicating you can't communicate like that right you can't say people can't discuss Topics right or discuss something that is Prominent in culture right now. I mean there's a lot of discussions about trans rights and about use of bathrooms and about You know trans kids and the White House talks about it and Jen Psaki was doing an interview and she was crying about it sort of misrepresenting what the supposedly don't say gay bill in Florida, which isn't don't say gay.
Starting point is 00:23:53 It's a weird time because we have to be able to look through the fog, the fog of the anger that we have for the opposite or the anger we have for the opponent. Because the way that the Democrats and the way that Republicans look at it today is there's us and there's them. And it's so polarized that anytime something comes up, anything like these subjects, like you want to find out what side is on what side of the issue. Like, is my side on this is okay or is my side on this is
Starting point is 00:24:28 a bad thing and that's a lot of what happens with these subjects instead of just being able to look at things and just honestly discuss things things get fit into this polarized lens like somehow or another biden was talking about that today. He was talking about the Roe versus Wade thing. And he said something like, what's next? Are we going to stop LBGTQ kids from going to classes with regular kids? And then he said, this MAGA group is the most extreme political group in US history so think look at the way he connected those like see if you could find that video I believe I can send it to you if you don't if you can't find it you got it is okay but let me see if it says the whole thing he says about LBGTQ kids first, because that's what he says first.
Starting point is 00:25:26 I can send it to you, Jamie. I have. OK, let me hear it here. Here it goes. State changes the law saying that that that children who are LGBTQ can't be in classrooms with other children. Is that is that legit under the way that the decision is written what are the next things that are going to be attacked because this mega crowd is really the most extreme political organization that's existed in american history okay no that is that's a crazy connection
Starting point is 00:25:59 what he just did is a crazy connection he went from Roe versus Wade, which I don't know what's happening with that. I don't know if that's real. It's supposedly something was leaked that said they're going to overturn Roe versus Wade. I don't think that's been substantiated. Has that been substantiated? I believe it's still, yeah, it was leaked. It's not substantiated, though, right? As far as an official decision, yeah, I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:26:26 Right. So you have something that has to do with abortion rights. So it's women's rights. And then how does he connect that to MAGA? Like how does that, like look at that way he did that. Like saying that you cannot have an abortion or abortion is not a federally protectedally protected thing under Roe versus Wade anymore Going from that to saying what if they decide to keep LBGTQ kids out of classes?
Starting point is 00:26:53 to This MAGA crowds the most extreme political organization in American history like what how did you get there? Right, how did you get to MAGA? Yeah, cuz that that's the slogan of his opponent I guarantee you there's some never Trump Republicans that are pro? Right. How did you get to MAGA? Yeah, because that's the slogan of his opponent. I guarantee you there's some never-Trump Republicans that are pro-life. I guarantee you. There's people that don't like the way Trump behaves and talks, and they don't think that he's a God-fearing Christian, and there's a lot of those folks out there.
Starting point is 00:27:17 A ton of them. There's a lot of those folks. This idea that everybody falls into this, like, it's all the MAGA. It's all the same. Like, if you have any Republican viewpoints, or if you have any conservative viewpoints, that's a sneaky way of connecting any conservative viewpoints with Trump, which is like, you know, half the people are going to hate it. If you can convince half the people that any idea is a Trump idea, they will immediately hate it.
Starting point is 00:27:46 Half the people, right? If they're not paying attention, they're just reading headlines. Half the people will categorize that, that's a Trump idea. That's a MAGA thing. It's kind of an amazing way to dismiss things now. Because it used to be people could be conservative. They could be like William F. Buckley, and they could have conservative debates on television with Gore Vidal,
Starting point is 00:28:03 and people would think it was normal. There's a conservative. There's a liberal They're discussing issues. It's cool to maybe see me what resonates with me more not anymore, baby Not anymore because now because of this whole Trump thing in the MAGA thing they have it's not just Conservative versus liberal it's like you can put it into this cult of personality this trump box and then you get a 50 return rate on your investment half the people are going to be like this is fucked out that's a trump thing that's a maga thing yeah it's super weird it's it's crazy i think that he may have said that because maybe he's you know preemptively and always I think he's always going to have to worry about the next election
Starting point is 00:28:46 I think he's I think he's having a hard time keeping sentences Yeah, I think he's having a hard time keeping thoughts straight in his head. And this is If you know forget about What my feelings are about them putting this guy into the position that he's in which I think was insane I was saying it was insane a couple of years ago. He's a lot worse now. But the thing that gets me is that this is, this is just a guy,
Starting point is 00:29:12 it's a human being. And we're watching a human being's wiring not work right anymore. We're watching bulbs fade out. And I think he's having a real hard time putting sentences together. Just as a human, you know, like watching him,
Starting point is 00:29:24 I feel bad for the guy because I feel i feel like imagine being in that position and he this is his moment in the sun the lights are on the preparation's been done all the fucking rehearsals for this the the cue cards are written he's ready to give the speech and he's just barely keeping it together not only does he never improvise and never go off the script or never you know tweet a crazy feeling that he has about something or anything instinctual that's actually him i mean we can feel that anybody can notice that but they're using like all these little tricks i thought to myself the other day because i was watching one where he just got out of the helicopter and they're doing it's chaos behind him right right
Starting point is 00:30:06 you know they do these why do they do that so the priorities can't yell questions that so that if he no i'm serious this oh if he can't hear then he really can't hear if he's seems overwhelmed it's because of the sound of the chopper but i'm like that's how he is in a quiet room on a fake set behind a podium struggling to answer this, that. But they do that a lot. But they always do that. Right on the runway. I know.
Starting point is 00:30:29 They do it with Trump, too. Yeah, but I think it's a little tricky. I think that's what they do when they want to give someone a little bit of an escape, a little bit of an excuse. Well, for the longest time, he would just walk away. Remember? Yeah. They would just ask him questions.
Starting point is 00:30:44 And then there was no press conferences. And I feel bad for that Jen Psaki lady you know nobody says like she's shrill and you know the way she communicates but whatever imagine having that job ooh fuck that job because she has to debate with people more than the president does she has to go back and forth with the press and sometimes she says things in confidence but like just like being on a fucking podcast sometimes you say things and you think it's true while you're saying it it turns out it's not and you represent the president of the united states and no one's fact checking you in real time and it's all happening live on television yikes fuck that
Starting point is 00:31:19 job everybody gets it hates it yeah the only one was good at that uh the lady the last lady with trump what's her name kylie mckinney oh yeah how do you say her name kaylee kaylee mckinney she's the best yeah she's the goat at that shit yeah because she would have fucking receipts she had like tabs on her notebook she would pull right to like when she knew they were coming with a gotcha actually if you would have done your research before asking that question, you would know. She took large dumps on Jim Acosta's head. Oh, just like, get out of here. It's a funny sort of arena, that press and press secretary.
Starting point is 00:31:58 It's like someone's speaking for the president and supposedly these reporters are speaking for the people. It's wild. It's wild. It's wild that that's how we figure out what's getting done and what's happening. You have to talk to the press secretary. Such an old school system for something. But it's all this gotcha shit. The whole thing is gotcha.
Starting point is 00:32:21 The press wants to get her and make her look stupid. And, you know, and she wants to show them that she's the girl boss. And I have all the facts. And here we are. You know, we're going to circle. She doesn't even circle back anymore. Did you notice that? Stop circling back.
Starting point is 00:32:37 Have you noticed? I read something about it. It's funny to hear. I read something about it. I forget. Maybe it's an article or something. And they said something about Jen Psaki not circling back anymore. And I said, oh, yeah, that was her thing.
Starting point is 00:32:51 Like, circle back. Did she say, like, we'll circle back on that? She used to say, she doesn't say that anymore. And I think because people started making fun of it. And then also, B, because she doesn't want to circle back. Because she would already circle back on those other things. Because there was a lot of things she was supposed to circle back on she probably has a fucking to-do list it's a mile long look at all the circle back stuff i have to get to
Starting point is 00:33:11 how long is she circling back before she was in the mainstream media because that's when she couldn't circle back anymore i just googled it there's like enough stuff that it's a thing on etsy you can buy Circleback merchandise. Oh, my God. That's hilarious. Oh, my God. I need one. Oh, they got Circleback Trump 2024. Super Socky.
Starting point is 00:33:33 These are great. Got to give her credit for breaking that glass ceiling. They normally don't give redheads a position like that. Is it a glass ceiling if it's for redheads? I don't know. But redheaded girls do not have the stigma that redheaded guys do.
Starting point is 00:33:48 That's true. Redheaded guys struggle unless they're Canelo. That's a good looking redhead. That's a great point, but he became Canelo because he's a redhead. You know those
Starting point is 00:33:56 Mexican kids picking on him all day. A white redheaded Mexican. La Rose. Yeah. You know, Louis C.K. is Mexican. Oh, yeah. Did you know that? Yeah You know, Louis C.K. is Mexican.
Starting point is 00:34:06 Oh, yeah. Did you know that? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, Louis C.K. is actually born in Mexico. Yeah. He's actually more Mexican than Carlos Mencia is. He talks about that in his special.
Starting point is 00:34:14 Oh, really? Yeah. His most recent one? No, no, no. It was like two specials ago. Wow. Two or three specials ago. I think he did.
Starting point is 00:34:23 I know he's talked about it on stage before. He's definitely said it before. Because he was actually born in Mexico. Wow. Yeah. That's what we should all be paying attention to, by the way, ladies and gentlemen. And this is not saying from a person who's xenophobic. I'm not worried about Mexican immigrants.
Starting point is 00:34:39 I'm worried about Mexican cartels. I'm worried about the people that stay in Mexico. Like, Mexico is crazy right now. I pay attention to quite a few news pages that are covering the cartel wars and it's wild, man. It's wild. There's all kinds of shootings down there. Oh yeah. There's shootings in Mexico all the time now. And there's basically gigantic multi-billion dollar drug rings and they're going to war with each other and there's a lot of them folks because there's a giant market for fentanyl and cocaine and
Starting point is 00:35:14 marijuana and everything else that's illegal in the united states that comes up from mexico and because of our drug laws this is what finances these organized crime gangs. And now they've gotten so big and they're ruthless. They don't have laws that they have to uphold. It's not like, you know, being a part of Raytheon or being a part of fucking, you know, some other American corporation. This is a gang that has billions of dollars. It's a fucking drug gang that has billions of dollars. It's a fucking drug gang that has billions of dollars. And who knows how many sneaky connections with corrupt officials that allow it to exist? Who knows how
Starting point is 00:35:53 many people are profiting so that this stuff gets into America and keeps being distributed to America? And it's right there. And nobody's talking about it. All anybody talks about is the poor people that are trying to sneak across for a better life and how horrible it is that some people don't want them to come across and how compassionate these people that want to help them are. That's what the main focus is on. But there's also, like, terrorists sneaking in. They've caught terrorists.
Starting point is 00:36:20 Right. Yeah. I mean, that's how they're— Oh, yeah, they're coming right up. It's a great way to do it. Yeah, totally. right yeah i mean that's how they're oh yeah they're coming it's a great way to do it yeah totally i was in miami last weekend or two weeks ago and hung out with my really good friend who i've known for years and years he's cuban and uh he's like hey uh come over saturday bring the whole crew and i did i uh we all went me william and we uh his mom made us this amazing Cuban dinner
Starting point is 00:36:49 at this amazing house that they've had forever in Florida for it's been in their family for three decades or whatever and it's just the coolest most home style meal and they have a they have a couple cousins who just came from Cuba there. And we're talking with them. And the rest of the family, the mom and my friend, are sort of semi-translating things that they don't get in between. Because we're talking about it. And they said that they had to go through five countries. they said that they had to go through five countries.
Starting point is 00:37:27 So they had to whatever over to, what is it considered? South America, right? What's below? Well, Cuba's not connected to anything. So it depends on what direction. No, not Cuba. They had to go due west and come up that way. And they said they had to go through five countries.
Starting point is 00:37:43 So what's south of Mexico? Brazilzil right where are we yeah so they came through mexico is that what you're saying i thought you're saying cuba they're from cuba right but to get to america they came through mexico they had to go through mexico but to get to mexico they had to go through blank oh right right blank they had to start all the way down there. There it is. You know, that's what that whole convoy was. You remember that giant, what would they call it? They didn't call it a convoy. What did they call it when the people were coming up from Mexico?
Starting point is 00:38:16 They were watching them come. Caravan? Yeah. So show that again. That map, please. When you look at that, these people were coming up. See where Mexico is? People were coming up from Guatemala From Honduras they were they're getting all these people and they were walking all the way up into Mexico now
Starting point is 00:38:34 How do you think something like that happens? How do you think you get all these families and you know kids and parents and everyone all together? Do you start walking up there? We all walk we're gonna make it like how does that work? Hey, I can't even begin to fathom who who puts that together. Is that organizers? Is there like a Clandestine purpose for something like that. Is there someone pulling the strings behind that going? Listen, we're gonna organize and we're gonna get all these people just bum rush the're going to talk them into it. We're going to like give them food and water and take care of them along the way. And we're going to make a lot of press available to this. So they're going to come in and take photos and videos. We'll get it all up on the internet
Starting point is 00:39:17 and get it all up on YouTube and in the news. And then people know. I mean, how are these people know each other in different countries are they talking online they're all getting together on reddit and they're trying to figure out where to meet and what are they doing yeah how is this happening who organizes that like how and where did it go just stopped one of the things that i found extra interesting was the fact that they had to pay there's a certain there's like a ticket fee for America. Basically, once they stop you at the thing, what I found out from hanging out with this family, this Cuban family in Miami was that it's a ticket. It's like 15,000. I'm like, so what makes the difference?
Starting point is 00:39:58 You have to, so basically you have to have a family member someone like that you can call that's here like the cousin in miami and say yes that is my cousin i will take care of them i'll give them a start they can i have an extra bedroom they can stay in okay you can pay the 15 000 to get them over the other end right so really that's the price that amer America is saying this is the ticket. Did you say $15,000? I'm pretty sure it's $15,000. That's a lot. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:32 If you get hit with that, can you get hit with it more than once? Yeah. They had to pay $30,000 because they have two cousins. Oh, Jesus. Right. So it happens quick. So what if you get busted a second time? Like, is this once you're over here and you
Starting point is 00:40:46 pay that fee now you have to worry about being deported right how often do people get deported let's find that out how many people get deported let's just guess how many people get deported from the united states every day every day let's guess i would say a thousand000 a day. 1,000 a day? That might be high. That might be high. I'm going to say 500 a day. But how many people come in every day illegally? I'd say 1,001.
Starting point is 00:41:20 I'd say it's more than 1,000. I'd say it's more than 1,000 a day. Oh, yeah. Coming in per day has to be at least 2,000. Yeah, I think that's probably about right. But how do they know? Because if they know, if they can count them, they should catch them. If you're just counting them as they run across the border, like, hey, that's not helping.
Starting point is 00:41:41 You have a bad system. Yeah. like hey that's not helping you have a bad system yeah it's like how do you how do you uh it's how do they do that i don't know but it's very strange that we're connected with a country that's so completely different i mean you just walk a certain amount of minutes from San Diego, and everyone's in a different country. You speak in Spanish. Everything's different. ICE deportations fell in April to lowest monthly level
Starting point is 00:42:14 on record enforcement data shows. A year ago. A year ago. What did it say? It was just under 3,000 people for the month. Oh, 3,000 deportations. For the whole month. Yeah, 3,000 deportations. For the whole month. Yeah, but that's still.
Starting point is 00:42:28 3,000 deportations. That's a lot. What were we thinking, a day? We were thinking 1,000 a day? Is that what you? It was 3.2 million during Obama's. A day? No, no.
Starting point is 00:42:42 A month? The eight years. Oh, eight years. Oh. Eight years. That's why I was going to start doing the math. Oh, so it went way up. So it went way up. During his entire administration,
Starting point is 00:42:55 so for eight years, it was three million? This data says about two million were deported between 2009 and 16 during the presidency of... This is a very bad sentence bush comma about two million people were deported comma while between 2009 and 2016 so it's written bad okay and so now what did you say it was it was 2,900 a month yeah so i guess it's 36,000 a year yeah be quarter million for eight years that's way under it's like 10 way under so I guess I'm
Starting point is 00:43:34 confused and also what is it I mean how accurate is that so that I wasn't asked you when you were getting into is like what for what reasons who like deported to where right on a plane or right and like what I was getting into is like what for what reasons who like deported to where right on a plane or right and like what i was gonna say is like is this um is it lower because of the pandemic that's what i thought that was gonna say but it was i don't know because clearly well during the pandemic is also when there was the whole um the scandal about the the whole people at the border in cages and and all that weirdness do you remember the mike pence one that one always weirded me out man mike pence is down at the border and all those folks that were immigrants are in cages and he's
Starting point is 00:44:19 walking around he's like not making eye contact with them. It looks very strange. See if you can find that. It struck me as very strange. Because it didn't strike me. I don't know what his... I don't know what his mindset was. Watch this. Take a look at this. He said we get three tacos a day.
Starting point is 00:44:47 So look. Look at Pence. He's looking at the lighting. Yeah. Look, he's looking like above these people's heads. He's not looking at them at all. He's just like scanning them as a group, and he's got his arms crossed,
Starting point is 00:45:00 and he's having a conversation with this cop. He said, you don't have the space. We have watchtowers up here. The watchtower is so close to pick anyone that gets rowdy so we can pull them out quickly. So they have watchtowers, and they have these people, like how many dozens in there, fenced into a cage, and Pence isn't even looking at them.
Starting point is 00:45:21 Lookit, he's got his back turned to it. That's weird, man. Isn't that weird? Like, wouldn't you't you be you would be first of all maybe he feels disrespectful staring at those people because it is kind of fucked that they can't get out you're staring at them it's kind of weird it's probably got weird energy but as a human being who's seeing these other human beings that have been captured wouldn't you feel empathy wouldn't you feel like wow this is a fucked up situation like what you know what are these guys running from that it's worth getting arrested here like what is life like for them you know what are they escaping
Starting point is 00:45:53 it's so much worse than this that they're willing to take this chance and we're our standards and our understanding of like what life should be is so elevated in America that if you look at some of the poorest places in Mexico, they're fucking right there, man. They're not far at all. Just outside of Tijuana, some incredibly poor areas. And you think, if you know you're stuck there and you're not gonna ever get out and this is just gonna be your life forever,
Starting point is 00:46:21 you'll take some wild ass chances. But for a guy like mike pence like that's not that's not a neighborhood that exists in his mind you know what i mean that's not like a place that he can go to like oh yeah i remember when i was a kid and we had a dirt floor and we would try to catch wild chickens because we had no food for dinner and we were thinking about how to sneak over into america someday that's what's going on in these people. And there's fucking thousands of them coming across every day. Oh, that was the other thing.
Starting point is 00:46:48 How many illegal immigrants do they estimate coming to America each day? Oh. Because a lot of... The Republicans talk about... It's weird. Republicans talk about it a lot and Democrats want to pretend it's no big deal.
Starting point is 00:46:59 The same article is saying that there is 50,000 detained on any given day. So I don't know. Whoa. It goes up and down and it stays at 50 is 50,000 detained on any given day. So I don't know. Whoa. It goes up and down and it stays at 50. 50,000 a day. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:47:12 50,000 detained. Not like added to. Oh, not like arrested. Oh, I see. Incarcerated. Currently incarcerated, 50,000 per day. How many new ones are coming in, you think? How many people are they keeping in those cages? What do they do when the cage gets full?
Starting point is 00:47:25 Guess what? It's your lucky day, Tony. We can only keep 50,000 in this cage. So you are 50,001. So we're going to give you a bus ticket to Tacoma. Go to Washington State. Nearly 6,000 undocumented immigrants apprehended daily at U.S.-Mexican border in April. Holy shit.
Starting point is 00:47:44 6,000 a day that's that's bigger than the crowd that we had in colorado wow for each show a day damn that many people oh my goodness that's wild dude that's a lot of people crazy times that's a good way to look at it right because we've done 6 000 seat uh arenas and theaters and you could see it in your head what 6 000 looks like you know fuck man but of course they are of course they're doing that anybody that doesn't think they should be doing that you don't live there if you live there. You would think you should be doing that a hundred percent Recently an average of around 1,500 people daily have evaded law enforcement at the border the number of so-called gotaways
Starting point is 00:48:38 That the agency detects through a variety of technological and other tracking efforts according to the official I don't like the way they're saying that. I know. What do you got? Fucking satellites watching the border? It's all, I mean, if you were of the Tim Foyle hat, if you were of that persuasion, you would look at this and you'd go, you guys, why haven't you fixed that?
Starting point is 00:49:05 Do you want people to come across? Do you want it to be easy? Is that how the drugs get over here? How do the drugs get over here? They bust them with tunnels every now and again, which are wild. The one that they found in Tijuana, did you see that one? It was the most sophisticated drug tunnel they've ever discovered it had lights wow where did it go to um i'm not sure there's quite a few of them though they find
Starting point is 00:49:33 them all the time because you have to realize the amount of money that the cartel has or the cartels excuse me have there's so many of them and they're selling billions and billions of dollars worth of drugs every year they're selling fentanyl and they're selling fake x them. And they're selling billions and billions of dollars worth of drugs every year. They're selling fentanyl and they're selling fake Xanax and they're selling, and, you know, it's just, there's a never-ending thirst to escape your normal state of consciousness. And all they have to do is get us the supplies. And they can have helicopters and hippos and tanks, machine guns. Crazy. It's a tunnel.
Starting point is 00:50:05 It doesn't say how long it was. Record long tunnel found on U.S.-Mexico border. How long was it? Does it say? It doesn't say. I was trying to find. I'll pick one that has more information about. It's so funny how easy it is to get into Mexico.
Starting point is 00:50:17 You're just like, hi. You just wave. Hi. Mariana Van Zeller, she's a woman that uh she's been on my podcast a couple of times and um she has this show what's her new show called trafficked traffic jeff and uh three feet 180 foot long subterranean tunnel found in mexicali baja calaja, California, near the border. But she, what was I going to say about her? God damn it. Drugs, Mexico.
Starting point is 00:50:53 I know. Traffic. I'm trying to remember what my point was. Fuck. I lost it. God damn it. It's Mike Tyson marijuana. I blame the Mike Tyson marijuana.
Starting point is 00:51:04 That stuff's strong. Ridiculously strong. It's Mike Tyson marijuana. I blame the Mike Tyson marijuana. That stuff's strong. Ridiculously strong. It's very good. God damn it. I don't remember what my point was. My point was something about marijuana and getting it into the country, drugs. How easy it is to get in to Mexico. Oh, that's what it was.
Starting point is 00:51:23 Thank you. Thank you. This is one of the episodes, she worked with these dirty cops and they were bringing guns to the cartel from California. So these dirty cops were selling and they had been selling for years, AK-47s, machine guns, pistols, everything,
Starting point is 00:51:43 selling it to the cartel. And so she films these people. They're all blurred out. They open up the trunk of their car, and it's filled with illegal guns that they've confiscated. And then they sell. And then these dirty cops drive through the border into Mexico, and they make millions of dollars selling these guns to the cartels. Wow. It's wild, dude. Wow. It's wild, dude.
Starting point is 00:52:05 Wow. It's wild because it's so easy to get into Mexico. So you just have a truckload of fucking illegal guns. Nobody gives a fuck. Go through. Go ahead. Hi. Enjoy your tacos.
Starting point is 00:52:18 You know, have fun in Tulum. Just wave. It's wild. It's crazy. You just get right through. But coming back up, they check your asshole with a microscope. Right right you know they'll fucking cut your tires open and find cocaine in them they have dogs sniff your car you know yeah they find a seed they find something those dogs man those fucking dogs that they use for those they have a dog that's like they're specific to
Starting point is 00:52:43 a smell so whatever that smell is that dog's getting a treat so if it's fentanyl they just move around that car and they're like this fucking trunk is dirty and then pull you over and you're done there's so many people like trying to get into the united states border every day in that line it's such a slow moving line but the one in new me, just trunks full of guns. Incredible. Because that's how they get their guns. You got to think, man,
Starting point is 00:53:11 if you're working for the police and you're a dirty cop and you know people that are in the cartel, you know, or you know a connection to someone who's in the cartel and they tell you, hey, you know,
Starting point is 00:53:22 I'll give you $50,000 for an AK-47. You're like, what? Because they have, when you're talking about someone who has that kind of money, it's like Jeff Bezos type money, but they're just selling fentanyl and they need AK-47. So, like, I'll give you a lot of money for it. Like, what does it cost normally? Five grand?
Starting point is 00:53:38 I'll give you ten times that. That's all they'd have to do. And people would get together and they'd go, look, we got one trunk full. That's half a million dollars. Let's fucking go. Let's fucking go cash cash Yeah cash, and we could do this once a month and the next you know, we're making fucking six million dollars a year Come on. Come on. Oh I don't know. What about what if we get caught? You know, they'll be those kind of conversations, but a lot of people must be doing it I wonder how they get their stuff
Starting point is 00:54:04 I bet a lot of it comes from China right like that's where a lot of the fentanyl chemicals come from the stuff that they use to make fence and all the precursors and all that shit that stuff comes from China but China probably works with them like I think there's probably people in China that most certainly would do business in Mexico to sell illegal drugs to the United States. Wouldn't you? No doubt. Why not? You could poison your enemy from right underneath it, like literally in its basement, like poison the enemy by just getting more and more fentanyl and more and more hard drugs into the kids. No doubt. Meanwhile, in China, you get on TikTok and they're
Starting point is 00:54:44 showing athletic achievements, science accomplishments tiktok and they're showing athletic achievements science accomplishments you know they're showing people you know how to how to create and how to be inspired and how to really contribute to your country their big moves are all moved the big movies rather are all movies where a chinese guy kicks the shit out of an american is that? Are we the bad guy over there? Oh, man. We're not just the bad guy. In Spider-Man, the recent Spider-Man,
Starting point is 00:55:12 when they tried to send it over to China, China did not want the scene where they fought on the Statue of Liberty. They didn't want the Statue of Liberty in there. Like, take it out of the movie. Did they take it out? No. Marvel said, no, we're drawing a line of sand.
Starting point is 00:55:30 Ooh. Wow. Because China dictates a lot of stuff in terms of, like, what gets done in movies. Like, they change scripts for the way the Chinese people, like, if they, you know, say they're not going to buy this that's not you know that they're not gonna allow it in their market because they cannot allow a movie if there's a movie that the Chinese government doesn't approve of they go fuck that movie and that's it you don't get in and then if you're a movie business the amount of money like one thing we found after John Cena apologized to China and Mandarin we we looked it up. The amount of money that that movie made opening weekend in China was the vast majority of the money.
Starting point is 00:56:12 It was something like they made $160 million opening week and 140 of it was from China. Yeah. And I was like, oh, no. You hear that? You go, oh, wow. Yeah. Okay. Anybody will apologize in Mandarin for that i'll learn mandarin i'll learn the out of some mandarin what does it say here domestic but is this from that movie so this is like total this is not is that opening week or that's total domestic it's just total because okay so it says worldwide yeah so this was early on worldwide it says 721 at
Starting point is 00:56:46 one point in time the um if you look up when john cena apologized uh opening weekend profits china because that was when so either way that it wasn't open anywhere else though right but that's also another reason why he has to apologize to China because that's all their money. If they pull it out of China, they're fucked. But actually, you know what? At this point in time, I feel like if something like that happened and they pulled it out of China
Starting point is 00:57:15 and everybody heard they pulled it out of China and then it became like a big thing, it'd probably be amazing publicity. There has it broken down by a country. China was $215 million of opening weekend screens, $240,000. Wow. So opening weekend was $128 million, whereas the whole thing was like one, whatever it was,
Starting point is 00:57:39 it was like 140 or 160, I forget the whole number. The whole entire opening weekend, most of it was coming out of China. But that doesn't make sense if China was opening and the rest of the world wasn't. What movie is it again? Fast and Furious. Right. That's what's crazy. It's like, look how much money that movie makes in other countries.
Starting point is 00:57:58 Except Uruguay. Uruguay gave it like $18,000. Scroll up a little bit. No, back to where it was. So it was $18,000. Oh, Switzerland. Italian speaking Switzerland. It only made $18,000. Scroll up a little bit. No, back to where it was. So it was 18 grand. Oh, Switzerland. Italian speaking Switzerland. It only made 18 grand. Wow.
Starting point is 00:58:12 Italian speaking Switzerland. What? How that is so fucking specific. Five screens. Yeah. Five screens. That's hilarious. But it's funny how those movies, those shoot them up explosion, fuck you, look at my biceps movies.
Starting point is 00:58:28 Those movies kill it in other countries. Yeah. People love that shit. Diehard's world famous. Oh, my God. Well, but Diehard was still world famous in America. Diehard's kind of a holiday movie. You know, it's a Christmas movie in a lot of ways.
Starting point is 00:58:43 It's kind of like a little bit of the scrooge aspect of it you know you got a guy who's like losing his family because he's a piece of shit and realizes it and saves the day and becomes a hero in the end let's get the hero's journey all written into it there's some tricky little secret christmas movies out there do you know edward scissorhands is a christ movie? Really? Yeah. It's like a Christmas movie. I can't remember why I know that, but I remember the last time I saw it, I'm like, this is crazy. This is a Christmas movie. You know what's great is A Nightmare Before Christmas. Yeah. That's a great movie. You want to know what's really great though? And I can't remember, I think we talked about this. I can't remember whether you said you saw it or didn't see it,
Starting point is 00:59:21 I think we talked about this. I can't remember whether you said you saw it or didn't see it, but Mel Gibson plays Santa Claus. No, I haven't seen it. Dude. Is it really good? I can't wait until next Christmas only to watch this movie in like a Christmassy vibe again. And I just saw it this past one, and it is so cool.
Starting point is 00:59:39 It's like he actually plays like the most badass Santa of all time who's actually, know at the north pole and he's a real guy dude it's the coolest it is like john wick meets christmas yeah i saw the uh preview for it it looked pretty funny and the way that they have just enough christmas magic in it mixed with all these crazy guns and he he has a serious threat, like military-grade threat. Santa Claus drives a red old pickup truck? That's Santa Claus? Dude, it's so cool.
Starting point is 01:00:13 They made him like a real guy. I'm glad Mel Gibson made a comeback. I was bummed out at him getting arrested and saying a bunch of wild shit about Jews. I love that dude. I love his work. He's a bunch of wild shit about Jews. I love that dude. I love his work. He's a hell of a movie maker. I mean, he's a crazy dude.
Starting point is 01:00:29 But I think you need to be crazy to be that good of an actor. I mean, watch him in Braveheart and tell me what sane guy you want playing that role. Right. There's certain moments that could be achieved in film only through madmen and madwomen. Yeah. You need wild people watching Roseanne last night made me feel that at a thousand miles an hour right cuz she I'm I'm thinking of myself well this it's been a while since she's done it she's one of the goats but it's been a while since she's done it and you know and also people say she's crazy you know what i mean and she's up there so this could go off the rails quick and
Starting point is 01:01:12 it made every single second that much more enjoyable because you're like holy shit she's doing it oh my god she's got it and then at one point not to give anything away but she ends up saying i'm crazy and you're like oh my god she knows it's just that vibe of great pure stand-up comedy where you're like oh my god she's saying what we're all thinking at the moment that we're thinking it and like you know just brilliant flow crazy man no she's she's awesome but she is insane but in a good way but yeah like but with acting it's also it's not
Starting point is 01:01:46 it's a different kind of thing right because you're pretending that you're really emotionally connected to this scene that you're having with this other person
Starting point is 01:01:54 you're screaming at them and like like Daniel Day-Lewis that guy's gotta be out of his mind gotta be out of his mind like for him to play that I drink your milkshake guy
Starting point is 01:02:03 oh my god in There Will Be Blood for him to play that uh i drink your milkshake guy oh my god and there will be blood for him to play that guy that guy is one of the most complex terrifying and yet sympathetic characters like what an insane character and that the way he played it believable for every second of every frame of every you know part of the movie that you show it was amazing like think of um think of fucking alec baldwin and glenn gary glenn ross when he when he reads off that coffee's for closers that's a mean man right there that's that that's a guy like play that that's a motherfucker who knows how to be mean like that's mean for real you know like he's he's pulling into
Starting point is 01:02:47 some darkness i mean kevin spacey was mesmerizing in house of cards i don't think you can get a person who's not crazy to play crazy as good as like an alec baldwin can play crazy down coffee's for closers only It's young, handsome Alec Baldwin. Look at him. I heard I look like him. I'm here for Mitch and Murray. And I'm here on a mission of mercy. Your name's Levine? Yeah. You call yourself a salesman, you son of a bitch?
Starting point is 01:03:36 I don't gotta listen to this shit. You certainly don't, pal. Because the good news is, you're fired. The bad news is, you've got all you've got just one week to regain your job, starting with tonight. Starting with tonight's sit. Oh, have I got your attention now?
Starting point is 01:04:00 Good. Because we're adding a little something To this month's sales contest As you all know First prize is a Cadillac Eldorado Anybody want to see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives Alright, we get it
Starting point is 01:04:17 It's not as good as I thought it was I guess you got to see it In the whole context of the movie I felt like it was I haven't seen it in so whole context of the movie I felt like it was I haven't seen it in so long but it's also just part of it it gets heated up towards the end but to be
Starting point is 01:04:32 like one of those people whether it's Mel Gibson or any of these actor types that are just insanely good in a movie you gotta be a little crazy insanely good makes you wonder what we don't know. You know what I mean? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:49 These people, like, I mean, even that. Talk about insane and doing good in a movie. I didn't see the movie, but clearly one of the most obvious signs of mental illness that we've seen lately publicly is Will Smith, in my opinion, slapping Chris Rock from the front row, walking over and doing that. And then 30 minutes later, he won best actor. Yeah. So I think that's exactly what we're talking about here. Exactly what we're talking about.
Starting point is 01:05:15 Exactly. Yeah. I mean, he's an amazing actor. Yeah. Right. I mean, he shows emotion in his films. It's so real. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:23 So wild. The guy's probably always on the verge of crying. Yeah. It's probably a mess. Yeah. And, I mean, the way his wife smiled after Chris Rock got slapped, the whole thing was just, oh, my God. Like, he's under a spell.
Starting point is 01:05:39 He's being captured by witchcraft. It's crazy. He's the fucking one ofcraft. It's crazy. He's the fucking, one of the biggest movie stars ever. Yeah. And lives in hell. Television stars. And lives in hell. You see that video where she was following him around the house, like filming him?
Starting point is 01:05:56 And he's like, don't use me for clout. My social media is like very important to me. And she turns the camera herself like, like, like as if, and she put that up as if people are not going to watch that and go, are you fucking crazy? Here's another example. Johnny Depp's and Amber Heard's trial. Like, whoa. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:13 You feel, you, you feel jealous that some people are movie stars? Do you? Yeah? You want to know what they're like behind the scenes? Yeah. And when this one witch convinces
Starting point is 01:06:22 this super millionaire to not sign a prenup so she can Weasel all the money out of him and throws a fucking glass bottom cuts his finger off Beats him up and then goes to the press and tells everybody that Johnny beat her Lies and says that she had to use a specific makeup to cover up all the abuse That he gave her and the makeup company says we didn't even make that makeup back then that he gave her and the makeup company says we didn't even make that makeup back then like she got so specific which is something that people are full shit do they had a lot of like unnecessary details right if she just said I had to put makeup on to cover up she led like a very specific makeup stand right now oh
Starting point is 01:06:56 let me hear this give me some give me some that you know you know, I didn't internalize, like I didn't make that big of a deal of it. You know, I kind of pride myself on being tough, and, you know, I don't make a big deal out of, you know, smaller injuries. And I know that sounds horrible because it's hard maybe to understand, but my best way to cope with it is I kind of, you know, minimize it, and make sure no one,
Starting point is 01:07:41 make sure he knows that I'm tough and can't knock me down. And I make a joke of it, clearly. I make light. I'm going to, Michelle, if you can take this one down. I've seen enough. Yeah. She was examined by some psychologist that said
Starting point is 01:08:04 she may have some sort of borderline personality disorder. That was like during the trial. Was it Johnny Depp's guy or was it an independent person that examined her? Because it was Johnny Depp's guy, I take it, with a little grain of salt. In this article on NPR, she's spoken on behalf after her legal team presented a clinical psychologist who said she was diagnosed with panic disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. That's something different. Yeah, that's different. This is a couple of days ago.
Starting point is 01:08:34 Some said they diagnosed her. So Depp is suing her for $100 million in defamation. He won't let it go. This has been going on for years. He won't let it go. He's houndingounding her now he's actually got her on stage and the thing is on the stand you see how crazy she is and also you get to hear the recordings of how crazy she is like the recorded audio of them fighting is fucking hell it's hell it's just straight hell you just imagine being trapped in that fucked-up relationship just going oh my god and so everybody now knows the truth
Starting point is 01:09:13 they now know this isn't like some like some nice person was involved in this mean person the mean person hit the nice person and the nice person is just trying to get by that's not what's going on. No, this was like two insane people involved in a relationship where Johnny was famous from the time he was 20 years old, right? Like, how? How do you figure that out? How do you navigate life like that? Like, what are your tools that make you different
Starting point is 01:09:38 than everybody else who's ever been famous when they're really young? Because they all develop fucked up. And then her. Psychologist hired by Johnny Depp testified that Amber Heard has borderline personality disorder. Shannon Curry said she believes Heard was grossly exaggerating
Starting point is 01:09:53 when asked about having PTSD symptoms. Of course. That's a thing that people can just say, like anxiety. I have anxiety. Who doesn't? Who the fuck doesn't have anxiety? Right.
Starting point is 01:10:04 And what are you doing with your time? Are you just laying around your house all day? Yeah, no wonder you have anxiety. I have anxiety. Who doesn't? Who the fuck doesn't have anxiety? Right. And what are you doing with your time? Are you just laying around your house all day? Yeah, no wonder you have anxiety. That's not good. That's not normal. Like, if you go to the gym every day and, you know, you take a class and you work out hard or you go for a mile run and you fucking do some sit-ups and push-ups and then you have anxiety, let's talk. Because you might actually have anxiety. But if you're just laying around, like, I know people that say they have anxiety and I'm like then you might actually have anxiety but if you just laying
Starting point is 01:10:25 around like there's i know people that say they have anxiety and i'm like what'd you do today right nothing yeah couldn't get off the couch what yeah how'd you get here on my phone all day how'd you get here if you couldn't get off the couch yeah how are you here you got off the couch well i couldn't earlier oh well i guess you powerless. Couldn't get off the couch. You could get off the fucking couch. You just tell yourself when you go to bed, go to bed at whatever time you go to bed. Say, I'm going to get up at whatever time. I'm going to eat breakfast at this time.
Starting point is 01:10:55 And then at that time, I'm going to exercise. And just do it. Just do it. Sucks. Don't want to do it. I know. Just go through the motions. Don't even have to go through it that hard. get a sweat going get going I guarantee you once you
Starting point is 01:11:09 start moving it'll be easier and when you start sweating it'll be easier and then then and only then tell me how you really feel because you don't even know how you feel you know how you feel when you don't do anything you know how you feel when you don't do anything and you lay around and you feel like shit? Yeah, duh. I do too. Yeah. I feel like shit. I do things every day, but if I don't do things every day, I'll feel like shit. Yeah. That's how it works for people. That's
Starting point is 01:11:34 what makes a person. I like to live both sides of it sometimes. Well, you like a little relaxation, but you work hard. Yeah, absolutely. Today I have scheduled a, uh, it's May 4th, so there's a special Star Wars hot yoga going down tonight in downtown Austin that I'm going to be taking part in. No shame in my game. May the 4th be with you, that's right.
Starting point is 01:11:53 Yeah. I forgot about that. That's today. I'm pumped about that. That's been fun lately. Hot yoga is crazy, man. Yeah, it is crazy. Hot yoga is the best. It is a miserable, miserable hour in which, just like any workout, that first 10 minutes is like, what am I doing?
Starting point is 01:12:10 This was a mistake. And then something clicks in and it just. And if you can make that 30, you know, that last 30 minutes. Yeah. Last 30 minutes is rough. Yeah. We do a 90 minute yoga class and it's 105 degrees. The last 30 minutes is fucking rough
Starting point is 01:12:26 and you're dripping continuous drips i i looked the other day and there was a moment where i like saw five drops come off me at once whatever i was doing and i'm like maybe this is maybe i'm going too hard maybe this is too much and then immediately i'm like nah come on let's go something what are you gonna die do you bring like a hydro flask with you filled with ice water just a regular bottle of water yeah it does it gets warm throughout it's I wish I should do something better I got when I used to go to beak rooms in Agora I got one of these 64 ounce hydro flasks is big-ass jug and I fill it up with ice yeah and then i fill it up with water
Starting point is 01:13:05 and it's so fucking hot in there the ice melts in the water the water is perfectly cold i'm gonna get it's like a perfect balance of having enough ice and enough water and keep it in there dude that's the move because it's too fucking hot yeah you need cold water right you know or you're gonna have less effort i want to put out maximum effort. So when I have some water, I want to have a little, little cold water or a little like ice in my water. I'm more used to it now though, because the sauna,
Starting point is 01:13:33 like I can, I can do a yoga session easier now than ever before. Just, I'm so used to being under heat exposure that 105 degrees doesn't feel that bad. Like my body can get back to normal easier it's weird like that your body's adaptable to heat they also turn on the humidity in those things though there's a there's an extra oomph to it yeah it's because in the hot yoga room yeah there's been a couple times where they're like the heat's working today but the humidity machine is
Starting point is 01:13:59 off um it's getting repaired and and it was a noticeable difference easier. Oh, yeah, we just heat Yeah, if you when you add humidity which this place is like I go to the place That's like famous for being torturous like you're supposed to like they want to kill you and you're supposed to sort of take breaks throughout And they tell you that it's okay. Like don't go passing out to be a legend. You know what I mean? Like Take a break if you need it and uh what was i just saying yoga hot yoga yeah torture yo yeah yeah mike tyson wheat yes exactly this is mike tyson's wheat it really really is crazy it's called the toad yeah i feel like the guy that sat behind him on that airplane right now beat up yeah um but yeah hot yoga for yourself
Starting point is 01:14:48 it's very good it's it's the one of the best things ever and it also like if you can get through it man i used to go there and there was this old lady that would go and i think she was like deep into her 70s and that lady was tough as nails yeah she went through every fucking class she was there every day i was there she was always doing it all the dudes in the class like they're like older guys that look young so i'm like i just i i have to be doing this right yeah this has to be the correct move these guys all seem happy they seem zen they're not annoying it's like you know so you have to be like you have to be resilient to be able to get through one of those classes with that said i have the craziest pet peeve if anybody like
Starting point is 01:15:30 you're not supposed to talk in a yoga room you know right and sometimes people will be talking at that i don't like that oh it drives me crazy don't talk oh my god yeah i'm about to like it's almost like curb your enthusiasm style because i'm like like about to be like, I'm deciding, do I want to say, shh, do I want to say, Hey, do I, you know, like I'm trying to figure out and then I say nothing.
Starting point is 01:15:50 And the instructor comes in and I'm like, I let them get away with that. And it sort of bothered me. You know? Oh, you mean the beginning of the class? Right. Before the class?
Starting point is 01:15:57 Yeah. Right before the class. And it even says on the door, like you're entering a silent zone or whatever. It's nice. There's a yoga word for it, whatever. Yeah. But it is so annoying.'s not good yeah yeah the worst is when someone starts asking you questions so then they start forcing you
Starting point is 01:16:14 into a conversation what are you trying to be in your comms and mind getting ready for your yoga class because getting ready for your class is a lot like getting ready for jiu-jitsu like you got to warm up a little you got to prepare yourself because you're gonna go jujitsu. Like you got to warm up a little. You got to prepare yourself because you're going to go through some shit. Yeah. Like you got to get ready. You got to psychologically prepare yourself. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:30 Like if someone's like, hey, man, did you see fucking Yellowstone last night? Ugh. Ugh. And it's even worse if they're not talking to you kind of. Because in there, it's affecting you just as much as if they were talking to you. But now you get to hear two dumb sides of a conversation like no i didn't see yellowstone but i dvr'd it uh my dvr is not working right now i'm like what are you what is going on here you people crazy like if you're talking here you must be talking everywhere 100 of the time
Starting point is 01:17:00 continuously about nothing movie theaters people that talk in movie theaters that's another one oh that's a rough one and not just that but they text in movie theaters so their phone lights up so you see them in front of you and you see a phone lighting up and you're like that's the thing about going to movie theaters it makes a movie better if everybody's good yeah especially a comedy i can i I went to see Something About Mary. We saw it in the movie theater. And it was, Steve Schripper said it best. He said they were killing like a comic was on stage. That's what the new Jackass movie was like in theaters.
Starting point is 01:17:39 Oh my, and I kept thinking it throughout the whole time. The first five minutes in, I'm like, wow, this feels like a standup show. It has beats continuous absolute continuous beats moments what that are funny i need to see it some moments to different people it's so epic because they have a budget now like they get to do whatever at whatever they want now i can't believe that johnny knoxville after breaking his dick still does those stunts his dick's broken, right? I don't want to give anything away, but chaos happens in this one. Doesn't he need to use like a pump on his dick
Starting point is 01:18:09 because he broke it in one of those stunts? Oh, I don't know about that. Did you hear that? Yes, yes. A pump to pump out what? To get his dick hard. Really? Yes.
Starting point is 01:18:20 Whoa. Yeah, something went wrong. Yeah. Oh, shit. Bro, they get hurt. Like, real hurt, for real. Yeah, something went wrong. Yeah. Oh, shit. Bro, they get hurt, like real hurt, for real. Like hit by bulls hurt, stomped. You know, the kind of hurt where you could die. Johnny Knoxville, on the time he broke his penis,
Starting point is 01:18:38 so much has been said about so little. What a great line. about so little. What a great line. He said, stunt performer tried to perform a backflip on a motorcycle in 2007 when the bike flew into the air and landed on his crotch.
Starting point is 01:18:56 The subsequent injury to his penis meant that he had to use a catheter for three and a half years. Holy fuck, dude Wow Wow I broke my gym dog calls it years ago he calls his dick his gym dog I broke my gym dog a number of years ago it's been well documented so much has been said about so little the injury was no close call to adding the doctor said a couple of centimeters down it would have been out of commission.
Starting point is 01:19:26 But I've had two children since then, so it's in great working order. Okay, so the thing about him having a pump is bullshit. So it's the catheter. It's like one of those things. Look at him up there. That's the new one. Oh, gee, he gets hit by a bull in the new one?
Starting point is 01:19:41 Yeah. Because they pay homage to the time that the bull knocked him out before in this time. Oh, what the fuck man yeah spoiler alert this time it's worse no i don't want to hear that but it's great it's great though out of his fucking mind he wasn't blindfolded look at wee man's face this is happening in the corner jesus christ this is so unnecessary those guys i'm telling you this one is a masterpiece I'm sure I heard I've heard nothing with good things nothing with good things Jesus Christ man what we're talking about before we talked about jackass
Starting point is 01:20:15 comedies comedy movies oh yeah get seeing something in a movie theater it's like you get that thing of like going to see a comic in a club we're all laughing together this contagious laughter You know But the problem is like some people just especially in this day and age where people are so damn addicted to their devices They can't not look at their phone for an hour and a half They have to check their phone They have to be
Starting point is 01:20:38 Texting in the middle of it and they have the they don't even have night mode on so it they turn the phone on it's Blinding white right and you see it all around you while you watch. You have to kind of ignore this half of your eyesight. And out here in Austin, there's almost exclusively only theaters that have waiters and waitresses. It's really different here.
Starting point is 01:21:00 It's an Alamo draft house tradition that sort of started here. And now the other places all do it. So when that happens, it's even, it even gets a little bit crazier because now people pull out their phones to look at their receipt or to look at the menu or to look at their bill or whatever. And so it's, it happens and they do that, you know, 15 minutes before the movie ends or whatever. So it's, it's sort of comedy clubby in that way, movie theaters here.
Starting point is 01:21:27 You almost need like a chin strap type baseball hat deal. Yeah, that'd be good. A little shelf that comes up. Just like how a baseball hat blinds out the sun. You need a chin strap deal so you can watch a movie without looking at anybody's phone. Yeah. Like I don't want to see your bullshit. Something that comes up to, like, right here.
Starting point is 01:21:45 So you just watch the whole screen and nothing but the screen. It's actually not a bad idea. But you know, if you did that, someone would leave their phone on and they wouldn't be able to get to it. Sorry, the shelf is up right now. Just be ringing.
Starting point is 01:21:56 They make these goggles for basketball so that when you dribble, you don't look down. That would probably be the exact same thing. Interesting. Is that for drills yeah it cuts off like half your vision have you ever done it uh whoa no that sounds like a yes well i mean these didn't exist when i was like 12 and needed to practice dribbling like this there was something very close to it but not quite like that huh that's interesting. Well, that seems to be a thing that would benefit from just consistent repetition, dribbling,
Starting point is 01:22:29 like knowing the exact reaction the ball's going to have so you know where it's going to be when you're moving around. Yeah, you don't want to look at that, I would imagine. And I imagine you could get away with that. Like guys really good at cards, they can right in front of you. They just have a feel for it they don't have to think about it that's what's so amazing about people is that we can learn shit you know that's really amazing like when you watch someone who's really good at something
Starting point is 01:22:54 and you watch they learn especially with something that you can't do like fucking gymnastics or something watch them perform some floor routine and you go wow like look what you could figure look what you figured out how to do with your body like how weird is that or you know someone who's like really good at um anything athletic that's weird like david blaine is teaching magic now oh boy you can buy his class online i think you have to become a sorcerer i think he's really i think he's legitimately a sorcerer david blaine was uh talented, it's kind of creepy. His magic, like he did it right in front of us in the green room.
Starting point is 01:23:30 We were watching him like a hawk. I didn't see a goddamn thing. Did you see anything? Again, I was trying. I thought I knew when he was going to do it, where he was going to do it. I set myself up in an angle. I felt like I was being a dick. I was like, I want to know.
Starting point is 01:23:43 Couldn't fucking tell. Jamie was on that shit like a hawk on a power line you couldn't tell i could not tell i saw david copperfield flying when i was a kid i was like look at the fucking string dad look you could fucking ruins it yeah yeah that's there's an old uh teddy bergeron joke about going to see peter pan and there's a little kid and he's going to see Peter Pan it's like wow this is amazing look Peter Pan's flying and he goes and there's always someone in the audience going he's on a wire he's on a wire look Santa Claus isn't real and he's on a wire it's true it's like people want to see
Starting point is 01:24:25 Behind the curtain Who'd you say Teddy Bergeron Do you know who Teddy Bergeron is Is that the guy that hosted Like Hollywood Squares or something No no no no no That's Todd Bergeron
Starting point is 01:24:36 No What's his name He's got a very similar name too He hosted Dancing with the Stars Or something right Didn't he He was Tom.
Starting point is 01:24:47 Tom Bergeron? Yeah, he was on television in Boston. When I lived in Boston, he was like a local television personality. And then he became national when he was on. He was Dancing with the Stars, right? Isn't that what he hosted? And he hosted that forever. Yeah, Hollywood Squares first.
Starting point is 01:25:04 Yes. Oh, he did host that as well so Teddy Bergeron was one of the first guys to come out of Boston that really cracked on the Tonight Show he was brilliant um but Teddy liked to party and I don't mean like like to party like Teddy liked to go into other dimensions and wake up on a park bench Wow, and he just would get fucked up and mess things up and in his prime though Like damn, he was good I saw him when I was an open mic er and had only done comedy like I think once or twice
Starting point is 01:25:40 And I went to an open mic and I was waiting and he you know dropped in to do like 10 minutes So he dropped in do 10 minutes and I was almost like I should just quit I should quit he was so polished it was so smooth like every like all of his bits were so like well thought out and I was like wow he's so good but substances yeah that's him play some of that guy likes to party with basically the two years were spent trying to figure the people out there, because they're somewhat different. I remember one night I was playing my stereo really loud,
Starting point is 01:26:12 about three in the morning, blaring through the room, and a little old lady that lives in the next apartment started banging on my door. What the hell's the matter with you? Turn the bass up! Sure. But I'm back in New York, East Coast, where people are normal. A little too normal.
Starting point is 01:26:32 Too formal here. So I dressed tonight like this because, uh, it's an officious city. Today, someone asked me for the correct time. Hadn't heard that in a long time. Excuse me, young man, have you got the correct time? I have a meeting. I need the correct time. As opposed to what? The incorrect time? time I mean who wants to know that bright sunny day man's
Starting point is 01:26:49 walking along a beach have you got the incorrect time it's uh midnight thank you I started in Boston my comedy career and I had to leave uh unfortunately great comedy City that's not good yeah it's not quite how we remember little glenn gary glenn ross no way worse do you know what it is it's like that's a tonight show set and you gotta water everything down yeah yeah it's that's uh four years before i even saw him you got to see him in the clubs you know he uh it was a great comic but that's just those those tonight show sets are the worst you know
Starting point is 01:27:26 you're standing out there you don't even have a microphone it's not a comedy club audience you're moving your hands around because you don't know what to do with them because you're not holding a mic right
Starting point is 01:27:33 it's the opposite of a real club with phones locked up it's the opposite of it yeah what's worse because you're not even really at a club you're
Starting point is 01:27:41 you know you're at a TV taping so there's this like artificial pressure right it's daytime people don't realize like it's like four in the afternoon that's also 1980s comedy there's a thing about 1980s comedy is you have to put it in the context of 1980s you really do i mean obviously you have guys in the 80s that were producing stuff that's like top of the food chain
Starting point is 01:28:00 like prior and eddie griffin or eddie uh eddie griffin sure i don't know when he started actually but i met eddie murphy um and then also of course kinnison and kinnison and then dice clay so kinnison is like 85 86 he pops so you got to think of that like that's when people change what they thought of as comedy and it's wild when you go back and watch like i wouldn't tell any of those jokes and if you were telling those jokes I'd be like get rid of that one that one sucks get rid of it get rid of it and I'd be like I thought so thank you
Starting point is 01:28:32 but it's one of those things like back then I'd be like those are solid jokes if we were living in the 80s we were idiots nobody knew any better like the culture has changed so much and so many more people contribute into like the
Starting point is 01:28:51 conversation about what's good and what sucks and what's what's interesting and what's cliche and it's a such a fucking accelerated time for the like the change in human culture. And I don't know if we really recognize how accelerated it is. I think it's happening so fast and it's a part of us while it's happening. So it just seems normal.
Starting point is 01:29:15 Just normal. Normal day. But if you go back and look at it over the context of from 1984 to today, like holy shit, what a difference. What a monumental difference the world like in the world rather how much it's changed since 84 i mean it's not that long ago man you know it's 38 years yep it's not 38 years it's not that long but it might as well be a thousand might as well be from another time. Weird, blurry television images.
Starting point is 01:29:48 That's how old I am. And that's what's crazy is like, I feel like. What year were you born? 84. Wow. And I feel like people, I don't know. I just feel like I got to sort of live it all because I remember there being rotary phones. And I remember when this thing thing the internet was like starting and and
Starting point is 01:30:11 crazy to what I remember wild time I remember when VHS tapes came out that's how old I am Wow I remember when people couldn't watch TV unless you were at home when the show aired right and then they came out with this thing where you could tape things. Yeah. And play it back later. Oh, yeah. I remember that. I mean, I was very young, but like, yeah, I had one of those like rock solid big ass
Starting point is 01:30:35 TVs that you couldn't do anything with. You needed a dolly or multiple people or whatever. I remember there were VHS tapes and then you could hook two VCR players together, and you could copy tapes. Oh, yeah. So then they came out with a thing that was like a little hole in the back of the tape that wouldn't let you copy it. But then people figured out all you had to do was put a piece of tape over that little hole and then you can copy it, right? Is that how it worked? Is my memory accurate?
Starting point is 01:31:10 It's like the first copyright protection. It was like a tab that was removed, right? Oh, you'll never be able to copy now. I'll pull this little piece of plastic out and you could just duct tape over it and then it would be good to go. It's almost like there was a little thing and if it set into that little hole that that it left it wouldn't record look what am i a little
Starting point is 01:31:30 fucking baby that thing that's the little tab i do remember it snap that tab off like a gangster fuck you this thing's done no one's ever getting in here another one i thought of recently was how cool it was to have a walkman with a CD in it and how often those would skip. And how like that skip delay, there was like three second skip delay. You had to either turn it on or off. Lord knows why it just wouldn't automatically be on all the time. Oh, I remember because it would drain your battery a little bit faster if you had the skip protection on all the time. So you'd really only want to use it if you were working out or whatever.
Starting point is 01:32:04 And it would skip all the time. Everything would skip all the time. If you hit any bump, use it if you were working out or whatever and it would skip all the time everything would skip all that if you hit any bump you would it would skip they would skip in your car yeah remember those days yeah esp it was electronic skip protection but like it's that's it could see the future so you know it wasn't yeah the thing is like they figured out how to make it so that you could play a CD in your car and it won't skip, though. How'd they do that? How'd they do that? I don't know. Is it just better reading? Does it hold it in place better?
Starting point is 01:32:32 Yeah, I would have to. Without looking it up, I'd go, yeah, it probably was a more expensive CD player that had stabilization in it. But I think, do they still make CD players? Yeah. That is wild. Who's got CDs laying around? I was just thinking about that today.
Starting point is 01:32:50 You'd have to carry a case, and people would break into cars to steal your fucking CD case. Yeah, I remember you would have, like, the case would be clear plastic, and you'd have the CD cover on one side and the actual CD on the other side, you know, so you could see. Ooh, Bob Seger, Night Moves. I used to go to the library. You know, so you could see, ooh, Bob Seger, Night Moves. I used to go to the library. When I first got out of high school and moved to Los Angeles, I would go to the actual freaking library.
Starting point is 01:33:14 Like, I remember getting the Eagles' greatest hits and not knowing much about the Eagles at all and being like, oh, this will be a good get. Like, I remember checking it out. Oh, you could check out music from the library? Yeah. I've heard of that stuff now. In 2003, 2004, 2005. it like i remember checking it out because check out music for the library yeah you can in 2000 2003 2004 2005 with the right library card you can get movies download movies that aren't on netflix or hbo really yeah they're not where are they what are they on i don't know like independent movies or something or they just don't have the license form right now so they're not on there
Starting point is 01:33:44 today but like they've been on there. They're just not always on there, and you can have access to them. Same with music. You can download music from the library. How does it work with things where something is over a certain amount of years old and doesn't have copyright protection anymore, right? Very confusing, and it has to do with Disney. He set that shit up.
Starting point is 01:34:02 He did? Yep. He didn't want people to take over Mickey Mouse because that's kind of like what he took. Those first stories were all public domain stories almost, and then they just added a character and rewrote the story, like Snow White. Now it's a really, really, really old story,
Starting point is 01:34:16 but they did the cartoon version of it. So then before he died, I want to say it's 50s, 60s, got some stuff through Congress that it added 27 years or something, there's like a date, it's like 25, 27 years past the death of the person who was the original copyright holder. And then a couple years later they added that you could add your child or something like that to be
Starting point is 01:34:36 the holder, so then it's 27 years after their death. Very confusing, but that's how Sting got the money for that, all the money from the Puff Daddy song. It gets into copyright lawyer stuff. You know when you see photos of Walt Disney at Disneyland, all of his cigarettes are Photoshopped out?
Starting point is 01:34:55 Oh. So you see him there standing there like this. Wow. In all these pictures, he's sitting around like this, but he's got his two fingers like this, but there's nothing in his hand. Whoa. Yeah, because he died from lung cancer fingers like this, but there's nothing in his hand. Whoa. Yeah, because he died from lung cancer. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 01:35:08 He died from smoking cigarettes. Damn. Smoked himself to death. Wow. And he wasn't that old either. I want to say he was in his 60s. Yeah. See how his hand, see his hand right there?
Starting point is 01:35:23 Wow. Yeah, and look at his hand right there. They photoshopped the cigarettes out. He always had a cigarette in his hand, see his hand right there? Wow. Yeah, and look at his hand right there. They photoshopped the cigarettes out. He always had a cigarette in his hand. Three packs a day. Yeah, man. Homeboy was pumping. He had a lot of energy.
Starting point is 01:35:34 That's pretty much continuous. Yeah, look at that. Where that finger is. Look at his finger, where the cigarette should be. Wild, right? The rigor right there. Right there. Look at that. He always where the cigarette should be. Wild, right? The rigor right there. He always had a cigarette on him. How old was he when he died?
Starting point is 01:35:52 I don't think it was that old, man. Oh, Tom Hanks played him? Look, Tom Hanks just put his fingers together like Disney did, but he didn't have a finger. He didn't have a cigarette in there. Saving Mr. Banks. Starring Tom Hanks as Walt Disney. So he was doing, Scott, stop moving.
Starting point is 01:36:08 The two-finger point and the smoking too even made it into Saving Mr. Banks. So Tom Hanks is doing the two-finger pointing like as if he had a cigarette in his hand, but Tom Hanks' character doesn't have a cigarette in his hand. Why would he play Walt Disney and not have a cigarette if Walt Disney constantly smoked? he have the weird about cigarettes now it's like an actual warning that's so dumb that's you talking about it what i was talking about oh
Starting point is 01:36:34 yeah i wonder who pays 2014 that's hilarious that's me i'm in this article wait what it's me i'm talking about it in 2014 oh that's Oh, you know why cuz I went with my kids and We realized what we have this guy Shout out to Philander who was a He's not just a guide there. He's like a historian He knows a lot about Walt Disney and Disney World and all the Disney franchise movies and he's the one explained it to me He showed me all the photos. He's and he's the one explaining it to me. And he showed me all the photos.
Starting point is 01:37:07 He's like, look, look at his fingers. I was like, whoa. How old was he when he died? See if you can find how he died. But he died from cancer sticks. Bummer. Yeah, I mean, it is an enjoyable thing, though. It's what a rush when you don't do it for a while, and then you have a cigarette right before a show.
Starting point is 01:37:30 The second cigarette doesn't help, though. I've realized that. It's one cigarette. It's only one cigarette before a show. He was 65. He was 65. That's pretty good. He was 66.
Starting point is 01:37:41 You say that until you're 64. That's a good point. Yeah. And then you'd be like, fuck. And then you see this, like, Tim Kennedy had some guy's dad on his Instagram page a few months ago. And he's like, this is my friend's dad. He's 70. Guy was ripped.
Starting point is 01:37:59 70. Six pack. Looked great. Looked 50. Working out. Doing, like, some fucking crazy circuit with those Navy SEAL guys. Did you see Danny Elfman at Coachella? No.
Starting point is 01:38:12 Freak musician. What's this? All these old people racing, this guy's 70. He ran a 13 and a half second, 100 meter dash. What? That's very fast. Let me see this. Let me see this.
Starting point is 01:38:26 How old are all these guys? I don't know how old all of them are. That guy in the front is 70? Yeah. Oh my God, look at him go. Holy shit, dude. Wow. That's very fast. Holy shit.
Starting point is 01:38:41 Especially for that age. Holy shit. Especially for that age. Holy shit. 60, okay. Masters, 70, and older. Holy fuck. Is that their age? Yes. 82?
Starting point is 01:38:59 Yes. What? Unbelievable. So you see the results there. It might be their numbers. Michael Kish. No, he's 82. Give him the number.
Starting point is 01:39:08 It says 70. No, it says he's 70 years old. How long can he do that? He might be able to do it in 10 years. You're that guy flying. That's crazy. A lot faster than I could ever run, ever, in my whole life. How fast do you think you could run one now?
Starting point is 01:39:22 My knee's fucked. I can't really run like that right now until this thing gets better we should race i have a problem is that i know that uh like if i kick really hard with this knee it winds up getting hurt again and i i don't care when i'm hitting the bag i don't care i just want to smash it i just want to just the ability to do that is so fun. It's so hard to resist, but I got to resist right now. I've just got some stem cells shot into it and Ways to Well hooked me up and took care of my knee and some IV stem cells and some BPC-157, and they're trying to fix whatever's going on there.
Starting point is 01:40:00 And it's definitely feeling better. I had a treatment that was only a couple of weeks ago. It's feeling a lot better. So I got to be nice to it. So no running. But I've been doing a lot of stuff with my legs. I can do a lot of stuff that doesn't hurt. I just have to make sure that like anything that tweaks it or makes it feel weird,
Starting point is 01:40:17 I'm just going to leave it alone. I think I can get it back to where it was. Yeah, we went to the gym a couple weeks ago. That was good. What did we do? The boxing gym. Oh, that's right's right yeah took you to a boxing gym did you enjoy new skills hell yeah there's no better workout than that yeah i mean that's one i used to go to wild card in hollywood and uh there were times that i threw up in the garbage can like it's just a workout that you get lost in it. And even though it's only, whatever, two or three minute rounds, it's whoosh.
Starting point is 01:40:50 Three minutes when you're hitting mitts hard or hitting a bag hard is a long fucking time. It's a long time if you're pitter pattering the bag. If you're just going like this. Like, have you ever watched Floyd Mayweather hit the bag? Crazy. Floyd Mayweather doesn't hit the bag hard most of the time. Most of the time he just goes like this. But it's continuous.
Starting point is 01:41:08 He never stops punching. And then, whap, whap. And then he continuously punches like tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. When you watch him do it, it's an unusual rhythm that I never saw before him. Watch how he does this. Look.
Starting point is 01:41:23 Give me some volume. Look at this. How long has he been going? Don't tell the man. No, no, no. It's BJ. I know it. What can I tell you, BJ?
Starting point is 01:41:35 Only between us. So he's been doing this for, he'll do this for like 10, 15 minutes. Like it's not just like, he doesn't do three minute rounds. He'll do as long as he feels like it. But look how he punches. So he gets a lot of touching it not he's not killing the bag He's just taught what he's doing is continuously hitting it continuously hitting it
Starting point is 01:41:55 One good thing about a boxing gym too is you watch people that actually know what they're doing and you realize like how hard someone Can hit you It's horrifying. Yeah, when you watch someone smash a bag or smash pads and you realize like how hard someone can hit you it's horrifying yeah when you watch someone smash a bag or smash pads and you go oh jesus christ you know and you're in a gym like that gym with real boxers and kickboxers and mma fighters yeah i got to watch manny manny pacquiao workout in his prime back then and that's amazing holy, so much of it stood out. The speed, the fucking snap. There's just a different thing.
Starting point is 01:42:29 But one of the things that really stood out was he was jumping rope and it looked like, if you looked at his head, it looked like he wasn't leaving the ground. He was like staying in the same spot. And it didn't even look like his feet were leaving the floor. It was such quick, rapid movements that it just looked like his shoes were sort of vibrating. The only way that you knew that he was jumping the rope was A, it was coming back around,
Starting point is 01:42:54 and B, his calf muscles would flare out like that. They were ridiculous. They would just go from, I don't know. They're huge. Yeah. He's known for his legs. And it's interesting because there's so many athletes like him, Prince Nassim Hamed. There's quite a few guys that are known for having really ridiculous leg strength.
Starting point is 01:43:13 And you realize, oh, well, punches come from the legs. That's a big part of it. And the movement. Between him and Nassim Hamed, one of the things they both shared in common is their ability to like cut angles and move so quickly you know Manny could just like like he could zip zap and a lot of it was his footwork I mean his footwork and his leg dexterity and he was always running hills and always doing jump rope I think he's done right did he retire officially look at the size of those calves Jesus Christ to have calves like that is, I mean, that is a massive benefit. Because to be able to move quickly and lightly on your feet is everything in a boxing match.
Starting point is 01:43:53 To be able to move in and out and move away from things, move side to side. He's a weird guy, too, in that he's so nice. Yeah. Like, he's so fucking nice, and yet he's a straight-up killer. It's like eight-div at least so nice yeah so sweetheart of a guy yeah nice to everybody to everybody just all smiling and everything like that but there's a guy who's got a fucking entourage to feed yeah bro we did a thing with Tosh and I did it For his show
Starting point is 01:44:27 I forget what I did Something like I took him with me To a boxing gym And hung out With Manny Pacquiao And Manny Pacquiao Punched him in the face
Starting point is 01:44:36 Like it was part of the sketch And he You know he hit him And Tosh would fall down I go you gotta hit him Harder than that You gotta hit him A little harder
Starting point is 01:44:43 Just actually hit him A little bit Just a little bit And Tosh is looking at me like what the fuck I'm like you gotta let him hit you so I'm giving I guess I'm giving him advice that's Joe with the beard days wow I'm telling him how to hold a mouthpiece in his mouth I don't know what I'm wearing there I'm wearing some kind of silver suit telling him how to hold a mouthpiece in his mouth. I don't know what I'm wearing there. I'm wearing some kind of silver suit.
Starting point is 01:45:10 Here it goes. I mean, he's just touching him, too. I think that's probably the second time he hit him. We had him hit him a little harder. Tosh is a real, he's a sport. He went in there and trooper-ed it out, took one for the team. But it was his idea, not mine. Wow.
Starting point is 01:45:37 Yeah. Balls. Yeah. Fuck getting punched by that guy. I think he's done, though, right? Isn't Manny Pacquiao retired? I think so. I think so. But, I mean,? Isn't Manny Pacquiao retired? I think so. I think so. But I mean, all these boxers, I mean, they're just always one payday away from a return.
Starting point is 01:45:51 Well, it's that, and it's also, I think... He's trying to be president right now. Ah, president of the Philippines. Temporary retirement. Listen, they might do something to him. Be careful, bro. Philippines don't play, you know? to him be careful bro philippines don't play you know if he um wanted to keep fighting though what's going on today with athletes as long as they're not testing them you can get away with
Starting point is 01:46:13 a lot of wild shit and there's always been like shenanigans with certain boxing matches like what they test and what they don't whether they bring in vada or whether they just sort of fucking flying under the radar and try to piss clean the day of the fight and who's in whose pocket and what's, you know, cause it's like you can get away with competing way later if you're doing things. Who was the guy that cemented his gloves against, uh,
Starting point is 01:46:37 Margarito. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He, um, he, against Miguel Cotto.
Starting point is 01:46:44 Yeah. He fucked Miguel Cotto up and, and then, uh, against Miguel Cotto. He fucked Miguel Cotto up. And then Sugar Shane Mosley's team caught something in his gloves. He caught something in his wraps when they were backstage. And they found that he was putting, like, plaster of Paris inside his wraps. So what that means is, like, where his wraps are, he had coated in plaster. So then you would add water to it and then it would harden. So from the time he gets his hands wrapped to the time he goes out there, he's got hard, like a hard sheath over his knuckles, like a plaster sheath.
Starting point is 01:47:19 So he's got this, the wraps and he's got whatever this plaster like material. Tell me what that material was it was a this says it was a powder a plaster of paris powder that got water on it right it would harden up so he would do that and then get it wet and then fuck people up like he had bricks in his hands he fucked people up man yeah that kind of power that i mean if you is it's so rare to have that kind of power but some guys actually do like dionte wilder actually has that kind of power that I mean if you is it's so rare to have that kind of power but some guys actually do like Deontay Wilder actually has that kind of bricks in your hand power and it's such a big advantage and if you have bricks in your hand power like margarito has power and on top of that
Starting point is 01:47:55 he's put plaster all over his knuckles yeah he's just brutalizing people and then sugar Shane found out about his team found out about before the fight so he went out there with regular gloves on and regular wraps, thinking he was going to be able to fight Sugar Shane and cheat. I'm pretty sure he'd be- Sugar Shane fucked him up. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:48:12 Sugar Shane fucked him up. He fucked him up so bad that Margarita had to get eyeball surgery. Yeah. And after that, Margarita's one eye was never the same. It was questionable whether or not he should have been allowed to fight. Yeah. I believe he had a- I think he had an artificial retina put in
Starting point is 01:48:35 i think it was one of those deals which is wild man they do that now i was watching a commercial about that online where this guy was um replacing people's retinas with an artificial retina replacing people's retinas with an artificial retina and that you could see like glasses it's like they just cut yours out and put a new one in i was like what but the thing about it is they were saying that you might get haloing at night like i know a guy who had lasik surgery and he can't drive at night what happens he had a he had a problem he had a rare but but prevalent react i mean i don't know prevalent rare but it's one of the side effects of lasik is haloing whereas if you see lights at night the lights you don't just see the light you see like a halo around the light and that halo around the light obscures things you might might not be able to see as you're driving. So he can't drive at night. That's got to suck.
Starting point is 01:49:28 It's got to suck. Yeah. Find out about that, like haloing under LASIK. I mean, maybe he got it a long time ago. Maybe the new way is better. Ari got LASIK. Really? And then his eyes got worse.
Starting point is 01:49:43 Oh. Because he got older. So his eyes kept getting worse. So it was fixed for a while. But knowing Ari, he probably got the cheapest LASIK he could get. This is bullshit. I had a fucking Groupon. I paid $25 for that LASIK.
Starting point is 01:49:54 Yes, eye glare and halos are a common issue that patients experience after they receive LASIK surgery. In fact, glare after LASIK is an extremely frequent side effect that you might have to deal with following this procedure. In the event that you see different kinds of halos and glares following LASIK, you should know that this is normal. You might also see glare taking the shape of starbursts. Starbursts are not a ring surrounding lights like the more common forms of glare. Starbursts look more like a glow that disperses itself around the light instead so that kind of shit is not good that's fucking terrible like why do they appear okay uh we'll create a flap in the uppermost so this is a lasix
Starting point is 01:50:40 vision website where they're trying to sell you Lasix. We'll create a flap in the uppermost portion of your cornea when we perform Lasix surgery. The uppermost portion of your cornea is the epithelium. We'll lift up this flap so that we can adjust the entire contour of your cornea using a surgical laser after we make the epithelial flap. Once we have finished altering the shape of your cornea, we put the epithelial flap back down. Your eyes need some time to adapt to the new shape of your cornea after we make the epithelial flap and put it back down. If you see halos near bright lights, this is simply a step in your eyes healing process. You may also see halos close to bright objects as your eyes go through
Starting point is 01:51:21 the process of healing and adjusting to your cornea's new shape. Well, for my friend, he didn't start off getting glare. He got it later. You should know that halos are a type of glare in vision that temporarily changes your vision following LASIK. You will see halos primarily at night after LASIK. Halos are usually more common in low-light conditions, and they look like bright circles surrounding sources of light like street lights and headlights. Even though we commonly call halos a side effect of LASIK, they are not exactly a side effect as we usually
Starting point is 01:51:54 use that term. Instead, halos are a normal sign that your eyes have started recovering. That's not what my friend is having. My friend had it years and years ago and uh he recently developed halos so i don't know it's crazy the side effects on things are insane well the fact that they're that's a big deal that means you can't drive at night that's that's a giant deal yeah like if you had a choice between wear glasses or not drive at night i would say i'm gonna wear glasses. What the fuck you talking about? Not drive at night. It's fun driving at night.
Starting point is 01:52:28 It's no big deal bro, just take Uber, and everywhere you go it'll be psychedelic. All the lights will be like glowing. Imagine going to Vegas if you halo, like everywhere you go you're like. Ding ding ding ding ding ding. Oh no. You're outside in the neon.
Starting point is 01:52:39 Oh, everything's got a halo around it. What does that look like? Do they have an image, like a representation of what LASIK halos look like to someone who is suffering from them? I want to see that. There's eye drops that my doctor gave me to try. He's like, try these out. I go, what are they? He's like, look, that's what it looks like. Whoa.
Starting point is 01:53:04 So these folks can't see shit. And that's just those headlights, right? As they get closer and they take up your entire field of vision, like it's going to obscure some of the things you're seeing. I wonder if they make glasses that limit the halo effect. That would be ironic. I bet they're. Wouldn't that be ironic? Yeah. You have to wear glasses to eliminate the halo effect. That would be ironic. Wouldn't that be ironic?
Starting point is 01:53:26 You have to wear glasses to eliminate the halo? Like yellow glasses, like Hunter Thompson type glasses? Yeah, there's gotta be glasses. Do they make it? They make glasses to see golf balls. Right, but see if they do that.
Starting point is 01:53:47 Glasses to remove halos because if they do that well then you go well that's not the big deal you just wear your halo glasses when you drive at night what do you think think they do i mean i don't think it doesn't maybe Maybe just regular sunglasses would help, right? Because if it's not, right? Find out for us, young Jamie. Sounds right. It seems like polarized lenses. Yeah, it seems like polarized lenses or something like that.
Starting point is 01:54:14 Polarized lenses are great. You ever use those when you go fishing? Oh, it's great. They cut out all the glare. You can see in the water. You see where the fish are. Really? Yeah, you lift them up and you don't see shit.
Starting point is 01:54:23 You put them on, you see the shadows of the fish swimming around oh wow yeah they're pretty dope like that would help a lot oh it helps a lot yeah yeah it's a big deal i was looking i'm about to buy for the same purpose once you're out there you can't see your ball a lot of time a lot of the time i forgot you guys are competitive let me tell you oh yeah jamie's been whacking that ball son james got a spooky drive but what jamie knows is that it's not exactly a test of strength I mean he can hit the ball very hard and very far does it make you jealous no it should no because we're not talking to be jealous and I don't even play golf a big part of the game Joe is where you hit the ball yeah yeah
Starting point is 01:55:00 you can get that eventually exactly It's like if somebody kicked really hard, but they didn't kick you. Yeah, but no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no. The smile just went off. What he's saying is how I approached martial arts. I learned how to kick hard first, and then I learned how to kick people. Kick hard first, then you figure out where to kick them.
Starting point is 01:55:19 Well, you kick hard first and kick fast, and then it's about closing distance and fainting and setups. Golf's a little bit different. No, no, it's less complicated. Kicking someone's way more complicated than the ball that doesn't move. Shut the fuck up. Don't ever say that. There's not a chance in hell that it's easier to hit a golf ball than it is to kick somebody.
Starting point is 01:55:38 There's not a chance in fucking hell. You know how smart golfers are and how dumb fighters are? You know. You don't know what you're talking about. What I'm saying is it's super difficult to kick someone. It's super easy to hit a golf ball. Whether you hit a golf ball perfectly, that's a different story. How do you mean it's easy to hit a golf ball?
Starting point is 01:55:56 Because it's right there. It's not moving anywhere. It's right there. Well, neither is the bag that you're kicking. We're talking about a person. Kicking a person. That's what we're talking about. You're saying fighters are dumb.
Starting point is 01:56:07 To be able to close the distance and land... I don't think fighters are dumb. I'm just saying... They're dumb compared to golfers. He said dumb fighters. Not all fighters are dumb. You don't think the stylebender is smarter than John Daly? You're out of your fucking mind. I mean... You're out of your fucking mind.
Starting point is 01:56:23 That's a tough one one I bet he could do Survive a night partying Better than Stylebender Well of course Stylebender's healthy I mean that's not a diss To Stylebender I'm just saying
Starting point is 01:56:32 John Daly's all there He's got a lot of great stories Very funny guy I'm sure Very present No brain Zero brain damage Lot of liver damage
Starting point is 01:56:40 No hangovers Doesn't feel hangovers Ever? Ever How's that possible? That's what he said I was gonna show you the video earlier I don't That's what he's got liver damage. No hangovers. Doesn't feel hangovers. Ever? Ever. How's that possible? That's what he said. I was going to show you the video earlier. I don't,
Starting point is 01:56:48 that's what he's, he's got, he's a professional. Isn't it amazing that you can be a full on alcoholic and excel at golf? Doesn't that throw your fucking idea of intelligence and strategy and all that away? Like you don't even have to have control of your body. You can be an alcoholic. Okay. The greatest fighter of all time is john jones i rest my case yeah but john jones never showed up high you don't think you're so funny right now this is
Starting point is 01:57:17 like our pro wrestling talks when you take a stand on something you will say the craziest nick diaz has shown up and fought high when When he fought Gomi, he was high. They suspended him for a long time. He tested positive through the roof of his marijuana levels. When he fought Gomi, he was high. He got Gomi in a go-go
Starting point is 01:57:37 plata, which is a crazy move to pull off an MMA. Super fucking rare. If you watch how he sets it up, he gets hit by Gomi. I think Gomi even fractured his cheek. He goes into the guard. Gomi was a fucking powerful puncher because Gomi would throw punches the way a fastball, like a pitcher would throw a fastball because he was a baseball player. So Gomi had like that whip from throwing baseball, baseball rather. Did I say basketball? I said baseball, right?
Starting point is 01:58:05 Like you would throw a fastball. And he would apply that whip to punching. And he cracked Nick and had this big fucking cut on his cheeks, cheeks swole up. And they went to the ground and Nick wrapped him up in a go-go plata and put his arm,
Starting point is 01:58:21 his arm trapped in one leg, shin underneath the neck, and then Gable grips behind the neck and pulls down on his death. It's a crazy move to get somebody in in the first place. Even crazier when you're high as fuck. And he was fighting high. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:58:36 Wasn't that sort of the same thing? John Jones to Cormier. I beat you after a weekend of cocaine. The double champ. Well, that was the week before. He said a weekend of cocaine. The double champ. Well, that was the week before. He said a weekend of cocaine. He didn't beat him after. He didn't do cocaine that week.
Starting point is 01:58:52 He did it the week before the fight. And on top of that, he wasn't fighting on coke. Nick Diaz was fighting high. John parties a lot. Yeah. But if you look at John without a shirt off and you look at John Daly without a shirt off, you're not making any confusion. I mean, yes, if we're having a beauty pageant.
Starting point is 01:59:10 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. If you want to decide, hey, one of these guys is an athlete and one of these guys plays a game drunk, which one do you think it is? Yeah. You got me there. I ain't drunk. Which one do you think it is? Yeah. You got me there.
Starting point is 01:59:30 I mean, I don't think that he's not awesome at golf. He's a fucking amazing golf player. There's no doubt about it. I've watched videos of John Daly play. He's incredible. I think it's just amazing that a guy could be known for being addicted to essentially a drug and just on it all the time and plays on it. Smokes cigarettes and drinks coca-cola drinks diet coke like 16 diet cokes a day yeah but you know there's been pool players like that too
Starting point is 01:59:53 like steve mizerak before he died steve mizerak was an enormous guy and he was like one of the best players in the world it's way overweight there's another guy buddy hall who's also like one of the best players of all time he's one of the best players of all time and in his early days according to his book i've got his i've got a rare copy of his book the rifleman uh and his uh it's like rags to riches the rifleman i forget what it was it's an old book that was like self-published so it's like the font size is one size on one page and smaller on the next page. It's totally janky, but it's a dope book. It's like a cool book to own because it's rare.
Starting point is 02:00:30 It's hard to find them. They sell them on forums and shit. They're real expensive. But back in the early days, is this John Daly? Yeah, but he's got a case of beer on his cart with him. Yeah, I like you better than him. I like your swing better. Well, I actually like his swing.
Starting point is 02:00:44 Light beer. So he's hanging out. Him and Shane Gillis. They're cut from the same cloth. Yes. They really are. Big drinkers. Shane Gillis on the podcast. 15 Miller Lights. Bud Lights. 15 Bud Lights. He did 11 on Keltoni, which
Starting point is 02:00:57 is only an hour and 45 minutes. What a fucking animal. I think his drink per minute time is even higher. Meanwhile, he's losing weight. Yeah. Yeah, he's working out all the time. Sends me pictures of him flexing. He looks good.
Starting point is 02:01:09 Wow. Yeah. Yeah, he's hired a fucking trainer. He got inspired. Something clicked in him. He got inspired. I love it. I'm worried about him.
Starting point is 02:01:18 Why? Because that's a lot. He's drinking 15 beers in a three-hour podcast. Like, holy fuck, dude. I mean, we were with Stan Hope last night. Look at him. Looks good. That's one of the funniest men alive right there.
Starting point is 02:01:31 No doubt. One of the funniest men alive. When I worked with him in Irvine, I finally got to watch his whole set. When me, him, and Monty Franklin did Irvine. God damn, he killed me. Monty was very funny, too. But I had seen Monty Franklin did Irvine. God damn, he killed me. Monty was very funny too. But I had seen Monty before. I had never seen Shane do it like a full set.
Starting point is 02:01:51 It was fucking great. His Trump is off the charts. That Trump impression is so good. Yeah. It's the best because he's got great lines, like great stand-up comic lines with an amazing impression so you can't stop laughing he's the best it's a good time for comedy buddy yeah it's a good time yeah it's a good time shout out to our boy hans kim because hans kim went up in front of a fucking arena this kid's been
Starting point is 02:02:19 he was homeless two years ago gets on Kill Tony he was living in his van four to six months ago living in his van four to six months ago gets on Kill Tony becomes a regular on Kill Tony shows incredible work ethic like we were talking about before just putting in the time and the effort
Starting point is 02:02:38 who puts in the time and effort more than Hans? nobody sometimes I'll look over my shoulder see what he's doing on his phone and he's always on a spreadsheet going over staring at jokes rewriting jokes taking out a word adding a word it's a fucking animal he's not doing anything else no bullshit yeah he's an animal yep and uh murdering on stage yeah he's coming for everybody's jobs. He's there. He's doing everything that we talked earlier about, which is obsessing hours a day, being a crazy person.
Starting point is 02:03:11 And he loves it. He lives for it. So Duncan did Colorado with us. And then after Colorado, Duncan came to my house. We were all hanging out. And he was like, dude, I'm so inspired now. I'm so ready. He goes, I needed those shows. I needed to see, like, first of all, I'm so inspired now. I'm so ready. He goes, I needed those shows.
Starting point is 02:03:25 I needed to see, like, first of all, I need to see you guys. You're tight and you guys have been doing standup like so much. And he goes, and I'm like trimming the fat off this. Now I'm excited. I want to write more. I want to perform more. He's like, God, I feel so good. He goes, it's so exciting.
Starting point is 02:03:39 And, uh, and he's moving to Austin. Yeah. Yeah. We're going to have Duncan here too. What a fucking lineup we're going to have, buddy. It's crazy. Come on, man. It's literally the dream lineup.
Starting point is 02:03:50 Ron White. Maybe we could talk Roseanne into it. She's coming. I told Stan I would buy an apartment for him. I go, come here. Just come here. Come here whenever you want. I'll get you an apartment.
Starting point is 02:03:58 Yeah. Joey Diaz is going to come on a regular basis. We're going to do, oh, that's something we're doing that tickets just went on sale for. Atlantic City, Friday and Saturday, June 3rd and 4th, Joey Diaz, Tony Hinchcliffe, and me. We're at the Hard Rock, right? Is that what it is? It's like a new arena.
Starting point is 02:04:20 New arena at the Hard Rock in Atlantic City. Whoa, that's's gonna be fun and yeah we got Joey back on stage again this is all so exciting it's so fun man the beautiful thing about having something almost taken away from you like the way everybody felt about stand-up is that when it comes back you just you so excited and invigorated like last night I was so excited yeah I was so excited and invigorated. Like last night, I was so excited. Yeah. I was so excited to go on stage.
Starting point is 02:04:48 I couldn't wait. I mean, we had such a lineup last night. Hans Kim, Doug Stanhope, Roseanne Barr, Ron White, you and me. I mean, the show's five assassins deep before I ever even get on stage. Yeah. That's a crazy lineup. Amazing. That's a crazy lineup. Amazing. That's a crazy lineup anywhere.
Starting point is 02:05:09 I think we have the best crowds. Yeah. They're the best crowds. They're so fun. They're so enthusiastic. It's all word of mouth. Doesn't have that weird LA, New York, we're judging you vibe. It's the we came out to have fun.
Starting point is 02:05:21 Came out to have fun. Yeah. They're not coming out because they're in the industry. There's people that will sit in a crowd in L.A. and you know they wanted to be an actor or they think they're going to be on a reality show. There's so much ego. But it's not like everybody has ego.
Starting point is 02:05:35 But it's not just ego. There's like a clout-chasing, status-y fucking thing to it. Like who's the coolest guy in the room. You know, those like people that go in, they'll look for like cool people and they're barely talking to you and then they walk away from you. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:05:52 And you're like, Oh, okay. Right. Ew. Like nobody does that here. Here they just talk. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:05:59 It's like normal. That fucking, that machine that comedy has been connected to for so long has ruined so many potential great comics because it's turned them into some sitcom-y person. Watered down, cleaner version of their funniest self. Not just cleaner, but censored. Right. Certain subjects are not worth discussing. It's too hard.
Starting point is 02:06:24 Think about some of your best bits Yeah, there's subjects that people don't want to fuck with at all Right like there's certain comedians if you fuck with those subjects at all you will get banned from television shows Then nobody will want to work with you. Nobody will want to be have anything to do with you That's why I love it being my bread and butter. Yeah, so fun There's a market for it, buddy. I was going to say, and the market is swinging around. The market's right here.
Starting point is 02:06:48 Me, me. I want to pay for it. I want to watch it. If I was an audience member, that's what I want to see. Yeah. You don't have to be espousing your every virtue and political belief on stage. You can lie if it's funny. Say something funny that's not true.
Starting point is 02:07:03 I'm just trying to laugh. Right. I can get my intellectual discourse out in other true. I'm just trying to laugh. Right. Like, I can get my intellectual discourse out in other forms. I don't need it in my comedy. My comedy, I just need funny. I mean, if it's brilliant and creative funny, great. But if it's brilliant but not funny, eh, you might want to tighten up that bitch. Right.
Starting point is 02:07:19 Might want to throw a little jokes in there. Yeah. Last night was fun because I just got to ride that crazy wave that was in the room. The energy. And that's a lot of it. Yeah. It was fucking awesome. It was awesome.
Starting point is 02:07:34 Hans Kim always starts it off crazy, but that was insane. Yeah. Well, he's a great guy to get it started off to because he's so structured. He gets you into a rhythm very quickly where you're laughing set up punchline set up punchline they're all like really good funny there there's no fat in his material economy of words excellent it's just um you know it's cool to see comedy outside of any other system just comedy by itself you know it's comedy supported by just live comedy like that's where it's at its best it's when it's connected to all those other things like your potential to do other shows or agents opinions or
Starting point is 02:08:12 managers opinions like that's one of the things that we were going over this weekend was like opinions that people have given guys like Duncan or you or and just terrible ideas they've given you like what you should be doing with your career and what where you're messing up and that those things that told you not to do wind up being the best things you ever do yeah yeah you gotta be untethered from the system you know i feel bad for a lot of a lot of the people that i started with they never changed their like goals. They want, when I started, I was like part of the last group of being on the tonight show and getting a
Starting point is 02:08:52 comedy central half hour is the ultimate, like obviously a one hour HBO special, but those weren't even really being given out comedy central one hour specials, the top, but people were still striving to be on conan or the tonight show when i very first started and that is a specific kind of set as we just saw when we tried to watch todd bergen whatever right teddy bergeron yeah teddy bergeron that that was like you know a lot of setup very like odd segways 1984 yeah yeah some really good bits I
Starting point is 02:09:25 just wasn't it that wasn't a good set but my point is is like a lot of the people that I started with got good at those types of sets censored TV sets yeah and who it's just safe you could see it on TV. So why would people buy tickets? But there's some guys that are great at that, like Brian Regan, who has that kind of everything's safe on television, but it's brilliant. Yeah. And it's hilarious. Or Jim Gaffigan, same deal.
Starting point is 02:09:55 Right. All safe for television, but brilliant. Right. Yeah. And then after those two, which we all name when these come up, there is a long drop off. Who else is out there that's like super squeaky clean that's really good who else in that
Starting point is 02:10:13 vein in that vein I would say they're the two guys Brian Regan and Gaffigan are the two guys they are the squeaky guys that murder well actually no you got to say Sebastian, too That's who I was thinking yeah You got a factor in Sebastian because Sebastian squeaky clean and he murders like Sebastian you could bring your grandmother You could bring your uncle you could bring your dad You could bring anybody like and if you're on the East Coast that fucking guy's killing it He sold out four shows in Madison Square Garden that's just preposterous like what what that's outrageous he's so cool he's very
Starting point is 02:10:52 cool and that that's about it yeah who else name another one park Nate Nate Bargatze Oh neighbor got see rightgatze. He's pretty clean, right? Nate is hilarious. Very clean. That's good. Good catch. Nate, that's about it. Is that it? Are we done? I literally can't think of anything. There's a few wizards. But the thing is, like, Nate and Gaffigan, if you talk to them offstage, they have the same sense of humor offstage. Like, it's that sort of dry, like, but clean view of things
Starting point is 02:11:26 that's very funny. There's not a lot of those guys. Dane Cook was clean, I guess, right? No, he had swears. He swore. He definitely had sex material, he had swears, he was just regular. There's not a lot of guys that commit to that completely clean thing, you know?
Starting point is 02:11:52 You know, Jay Leno is a great example. Someone who's like completely clean. Fluffy? Oh, yeah. Gabriel's, yeah, super clean. Gabriel. Who fucking sells out more than him? He sells out Dodger Stadium.
Starting point is 02:12:01 Yeah. Twice. Oh, my God. And it's not like he's not around L.A. all the time as well. Do you know Fluffy has a whole garage filled with VW Bugs? No. Yeah, he doesn't collect cars. He collects one kind of car over and over and over and over again. Wow.
Starting point is 02:12:23 Yeah, it's the weirdest thing. It's the weirdest thing it's the weirdest thing to collect he has a whole warehouse filled with these reconditioned vw bugs look at this how incredible is that like why would he have so many of these bugs i don't get it like what what is it about this one particular he's, he's got a nice Firebird, too. But it's all... It's weird. $3 million VW bus collection. What the fuck, man?
Starting point is 02:12:51 How weird is that? How many VW buses he has? Come on. Yeah, it's interesting. I wonder if they're different. Bro, that's bizarre as fuck. He's got a whole warehouse filled with VW buses. Like, look at his warehouse.
Starting point is 02:13:05 That warehouse is fucking dope. Look how crazy that is. Look at the Fluffy Museum. Oh my God. So he's got a massive ass warehouse filled with like artwork and shit. What is he saying about those paintings? Give me some volume on this.
Starting point is 02:13:20 Fluffy Museum to resemble the personal favorite buses. Volkswagen buses because I don't have a cocaine problem and I needed somewhere to spend the money honestly. I talked to Jay Leno and Jay told me he says you know what he says people are going to tell you to invest your money certain ways he goes but with me he goes I like I like the cars because first of all if they're classic it is an investment it's an investment you can enjoy so you can drive them and when you sell them they'll be worth more. Each one of these is valued somewhere between $100,000 to $200,000. Now, I have no intention of selling, but at the end of the day, as soon as I'm gone, and when I mean gone, this is going to be turned into a museum for the city of Long Beach.
Starting point is 02:13:58 Wow. I like that firebird too. I need to get one of those and grow me a Burt Reynolds mustache. Yeah. Yeah. Dye it black. Maybe get a toupee. Whoa. Maybe a cowboy hat. Let's do it. I'm ready.
Starting point is 02:14:14 You see a Firebird, you want to be fucking Burt Reynolds. Look at that Firebird. You want a classic though. Oh, it's signed by Burt Reynolds. Oh, wow. There it is. That's me. I need that look.
Starting point is 02:14:26 That's how I feel when I put on my cowboy hat. That seems like a conversion. I don't... Look at that thing. That's a real one. I think that might be a conversion. See what it says. I have a feeling that that is a new... See what it says right there.
Starting point is 02:14:39 Give me some volume. We sent the black Camaro over to our friends at Transcendent people over in Florida. In about six months, they turned that black Camaro into this beautiful thing of art. I am so scared to drive this car. Unfortunately, as soon as Burt Reynolds passed away, the value of this thing went through the roof. And yeah, if I scuff it at Starbucks, I'm going to cry. That's a Camaro. It's a modern Camaro that they redid to make it look like a pontiac firebird because the pontiac doesn't exist anymore and pontiac was a gm car
Starting point is 02:15:10 so like if you go back to like 1968 the pontiac firebird shared in common a lot of parts with the the camaro of that year like if you looked at them it's very similar body shape they just had a little bit of a difference in the rear taillight assembly and a little bit of difference in the grille and the front bumper and all that jazz and the hood. But a Firebird and a Camaro were almost interchangeable. So with this new one, they take it. Since Pontiac doesn't exist anymore, they take it and they send it to a company, and the company converts it. That's why I was looking at that.
Starting point is 02:15:42 I'm like, that thing looks too modern. What's his first car? 1968 Volkswagen too modern. It was his first car. 1968 Volkswagen Transporter that served as his first car when he was 17 years old. That's amazing. He's got 80 of them now. That's crazy. 80.
Starting point is 02:15:57 80 VW Bugs. The problem with those is, you need a specific motherfucker to buy those. Yeah. You know, you buy a bunch of Corvettes, everybody wants a Corvette. Right. You buy a bunch of Corvettes. Everybody wants a Corvette. Right. You buy a bunch of those things and people go,
Starting point is 02:16:10 yeah, it's cool, I guess. Yeah. I guess. And if you're going to get one, why would you get an expensive one? But you know what that shows me? That Fluffy doesn't give a fuck. Right. Because he's not trying to impress anybody with his VW Bugs.
Starting point is 02:16:22 He likes them. He's buying them because he likes them. It's a way to make sure your business manager doesn't steal your money. Invest in Bugs. Yep. You got to sell those, though, dude. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it's easy to sell them.
Starting point is 02:16:35 But maybe it's not easy to sell 80 of them. There's a sweet Trans Am he's got. Yeah. So that's a real one. That looks like a real Trans Am to me. The one to the right, that's a Charger. The one in front is a Challenger. That Trans Am to the right lower corner where you only see the front fender, that's the conversion one.
Starting point is 02:16:54 So that's basically the only one that really drives well and handles well because it handles like modern Camaros. They make a modern Camaro. I think, what is it, the LT1? I think it's their killer Camaros. They make a modern Camaro. I think, what is it? The LT1, I think is their killer Camaro. They make a modern Camaro with 600 plus horsepower. It's fucking preposterous. Do you know why they call it a Trans Am? It's a type of race. It's like a car that was, it's a model named after a type of car for racing, I believe. I think it's like a Trans Am race what is it because there's I rock right international race of champions was an
Starting point is 02:17:29 I rock Trans Am that was a type of Trans Am that was like all the Guido's had back when I lived in Boston guys who had an Iraq like oh he's the shit look at he's got his I rock it sounded good when they pull up There were there the bomb diggity back then what is yeah, I don't know much about cars I just know that I'm now obsessed with Corvettes. Well, you have a c8 Which is the absolute best Corvette that's ever been made the new Corvette is a fucking masterpiece It's so good, dude. It brings me so much joy on a daily basis that it's crazy. I can imagine. I love your car.
Starting point is 02:18:12 I'm so happy you got it. I like to sit in it and just fucking, the way they have contoured that dashboard and have this panel to the right with all the buttons on it, and then you're holding that steering wheel, you're locked into it. I'm like, my God, this thing is good.
Starting point is 02:18:27 Legit race style, like rectangle wheel, whatever that's called. They should make it in a six-speed manual, though. They should have a few of those as an option, Corvette. Just please. I know it's not as fast, zero to 60, but that's not the, we're not in a race. It's about enjoyment.
Starting point is 02:18:42 And for someone like me who loves a manual transmission transmission the enjoyment of a manual transmission is so much better than just paddle shifts and just or keeping it in drive and just drive around me sure that's better in terms of like speed and efficiency but part of what's fun about a vehicle is your engagement with it you know you're shifting it's putting that clutch in and we super add oh ooh but only with a six-cylinder engine what is the other engine a four-cylinder must be right oh boy that's good good for them that's smart because they they want to make something that's exciting the new Z car I don't know what number they're calling the new Z car but the new Z car comes in a manual these fucking guys that make these cars look I know you
Starting point is 02:19:28 want to make them the fastest zero to sixty but you also want to make it fun to drive and fun to drive for a lot of people like myself is manual manuals are more fun it's like quite a bit more fun when I drive my chevelle and i'm driving that thing it's man i'm shifting i feel like i'm in a movie that's shifting of the gears yourself it's like ah so exciting so exciting you know yeah i can live without it it keeps me it keeps me i like both hands on the wheel and hitting the gas and focusing solely on not spinning out. That's good, too. Yeah. Well, your car is also supremely balanced.
Starting point is 02:20:11 Yep. Like, when you open up that back trunk, you see that engine sitting right there behind the passenger, or behind the driver, rather. Like, right in front of the back wheels. Like, wow. Total game changer. Our buddy got us good because he knew I was going to buy that. Oh, yeah. Well, you should.
Starting point is 02:20:27 Corvette ZR1 could pack 850 horsepower from twin turbo V8. I'll do you one better. They have an electric hybrid four-wheel drive Corvette coming out. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:20:39 It's going to be electric hybrid four-wheel drive Corvette. Electric. Yep. They've been practicing in the snow. It's a hybrid like the new NSX. The new NSX has a combustion engine that's very powerful.
Starting point is 02:20:51 And then on top of that, it has electric engines that add instantaneous acceleration to the wheels. Electric Corvette confirmed. Hybrid arriving in 2023. And they don't know exactly what's going on because they're just seeing like test mules run but one thing they know about these test mules is that they're spinning off the front tires so they're watching them driving snow and shit and spinning off the front tires unless there's been more information that's leaked but that's clear I don't
Starting point is 02:21:19 know why they cover it up with the design look like they camouflage it because we already know what the regular one looks like now like before when we didn't know what it looked like it made sense that they were covering it up let me see what the pictures look like they're fake covered up pictures so it's wider it looks like see the fenders how they're flared out see like with the rear fender and the front fender how it looks like they're more bulbous it's because they go out further sideways which means it's got a wider track so it has a wider tires on it i bet it's going to be a fucking monster because that platform that they're building it on that platform is so good they did a drag race with a c8 corvette see if
Starting point is 02:21:56 you can find this c8 corvette versus shelby gt500 now shelby Shelby GT500 has 700-plus horsepower. The Corvette has 495. The Corvette's faster. Ooh, I like that. Isn't that wild? It feels like it. It's weight. It's because it's a fiberglass car.
Starting point is 02:22:16 It's weight. It's fairly lightweight. It's also the distribution of the weight is right over the rear wheels. It's in the center, right? But it's good, so it gets plenty of traction. It's one of the things that makes Porsches move so fast is their weight. The engine weight is right over the rear wheels. That's a rear engine car. The Corvette is even more balanced than that. Corvette's a mid-engine car, like the Cayman. Like the Cayman is probably the best balanced of the Porsches, but they make it a little bit underpowered because the 911 is their bread and butter.
Starting point is 02:22:44 That's like the classic iconic vehicle. Yeah. I rented a car in LA when we were there a few weeks ago for the weekend and I realized that I feel so much safer in my Corvette. Being able to have the ability to accelerate out of a problem is, it feels like twice as much as just being able to brake you know what i mean you need both yeah but um you you could definitely avoid things your car's nimble yes that means a lot if you can get away from some shit that's going down because if you're in a truck like a big heavy
Starting point is 02:23:17 wobbly truck and you have to turn fast you're fucked yeah you know you're in one of those cars you might be able to avoid something that somebody might not. I don't know if there's one you were looking for, but I found a few. There's one on Hennessy's page. Oh, well, the thing about Hennessy, oh, is Hennessy doing it? Because he takes that Corvette, the regular Corvette, and wait for it. Ready? Makes the motherfucker 1,000 horsepower. Oh.
Starting point is 02:23:41 Yeah. Imagine your car, but 1,000 horsepower. Look how fast that Corvette is going and One of the reasons is because the tires don't hook up that quick on the GT 500 because it doesn't have the weight in the back And I used to say well at least the GT 500 you get it a stick shift But you can't even get in a stick shift anymore Everything is moving to fucking stupid automatics Everything anymore everything is moving to fucking stupid automatics everything but um the c8 is just a superior car superior looks superior design superior handling it's the best corvette of all
Starting point is 02:24:15 time and bonus if you're a golfer it literally fits a golf bag perfectly in the back trunk the front trunk i use for everything. There's nothing more fun than popping the hood and pulling out a gym bag and going to work out or whatever. But the back specifically, the back slot, so you see your engine, that you just drove 25 minutes to a golf course and you can sort of feel the heat.
Starting point is 02:24:41 If you drive like a maniac like I like to drive out here on these Texas lawless streets. Right behind you, you feel it right behind you. And when you crack open that trunk, you feel the heat of the engine and it's just enough for literally a golf bag. Like it is that size. Do you want to go to a racetrack with that car?
Starting point is 02:24:59 Hell yeah. Let's do it. I could set that up. I know a guy. Okay, sweet. Yeah, I know a guy. We could set that up. I know a guy. Okay, sweet. Yeah. I know a guy. We could set up some hot laps and do some shit. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:25:11 Yeah. Tommy's done it out here a bunch. You know, Tommy's a freak for cars. Tommy has a, I don't know, does he talk? I'm telling anybody. I was going to say, I don't know if he keeps this a secret, but he bought a Cayman, and he had it sent down to this place in Florida that converts it into 560 horsepower. So it's a manual transmission, 560 horsepower Cayman, and it's a fucking demon.
Starting point is 02:25:35 He brought it to my house, and just the sound of it was like, oh, my God, dude, this sounds glorious. It sounded so good. And as he was driving off, I just cupped my ears that's what we're gonna miss with electric cars yeah that's the part i'm not really that pumped about the thought of an electric corvette because have you driven a tesla before yeah i just don't see i um i don't know listen my car you wanna have a race yeah no I know my Tesla
Starting point is 02:26:07 that I have out there that fucking family vehicle that thing will leave you in the dust I know but it's so quiet and silent
Starting point is 02:26:13 lame it's like a nerd in class it's like driving an iPhone you have to charge it it's just seems too pure it seems like
Starting point is 02:26:24 too good of a thing too good of a thing. Too good of a thing. I like smoking cigarettes and burning oil. Give me a hot cup of coffee. Throw a shot of espresso in that coffee. Yeah, but if you compare that to manual transmissions and old muscle cars, then you understand me
Starting point is 02:26:41 because that's what I like. I go all the way. I like cars I go all the way. I like cars that are almost completely just unpractical or impractical, and then a car that's from the future, like my Tesla. I love driving that car. The only thing I don't like is
Starting point is 02:26:57 I don't have a fucking horn on the steering wheel. The steering wheel doesn't have a horn in the center. The horn's a button. Apparently for the new ones, they moved the horn to the center. It's the only thing I don't like about it. I can get used to the buttons being the directional changers on buttons. The stock's the best, though. Why fuck with perfection?
Starting point is 02:27:16 That stock for changing, like, that way goes left, that way goes right. We've been doing that forever. It's so easy to do. Why would you remove that? But in their infinite wisdom to put everything minimalist and you know make everything buttons it's on the steering wheel they removed everything the turning signal is that buttons really yes on the tesla yes see what i'm talking about that's not good not only is it not good you don't know if you're hitting the left or the right until you look down that's what it looks like now that's
Starting point is 02:27:43 what my steering wheel i'll show you outside if you want to drive it though. You'll throw your car in the garbage No, so my fashion your thoughts. It's so much faster in your car. It seems like your time traveling I mean, I can't imagine going faster than how fast I are about twice as fast What are you talking about cars twice as fast as your car? Well? I mean it can't be twice as fast That's what you're saying till you hit the gas. No come on on i'm telling you i'm telling you that car goes zero to 60 in 1.9 seconds where where can you do that where everyone no one's looking 60 isn't even violating the speed limit you could merge onto an on-ramp when you merge onto an on-ramp on a highway, you instantaneously go the speed limit.
Starting point is 02:28:30 Going zero to 60 silently isn't... It's like if a tree falls in the forest. Going to zero to 60 without the sound of an engine. No, it's not. It's not. It's not at all. It's like you hit the gas and you go, oh, shit, and you go flying. Dude, if you're a passenger i'll have your in your pants yeah no you drove me once we drove from the hollywood improv to the comedy store that's
Starting point is 02:28:51 the old one oh the new one's even faster are you serious a lot faster i remember that one i remember specifically the feeling of the back of my head being smushed against the passenger seat. This new one is almost a full second faster 0-60. Wow. It's so fast. It's about a half a second faster. What is it? The old one I think was 2.5 seconds 0-60, something like that. So it's six tenths.
Starting point is 02:29:18 Six tenths of a second faster 0-60. Think of that. That's how fast it is. It's insane. It's so fast. It's effortlessless like if you want to go around something if some shit's going on just go and you're just there you're there like instantly and nothing it's like you're but that doesn't it go like beep beep beep there's cars in the right lane or something like that beep beep beep beep beep seems like it would beep a lot like a lot of alerts,
Starting point is 02:29:46 because it knows what's going on. My Corvette, it's like, if you want to wrap it around a tree, bro, you're going to have to buy another one. Is that what it says? No. It says nothing. It says, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I love your car.
Starting point is 02:29:56 Either way, I love it. I just love that they still make cars like that. I love that. I mean, this is a weird time for cars, because it's that transition between the combustion engines and the electric engines. Like they're saying right now that there's some cars is the last they're going to offer of a certain car before they go electric. So quite a few cars are just going to fade out or become electric. Like Cadillacs. Cadillac is putting out they have a four door sedan that you can buy that's fast as fuck that has a manual transmission.
Starting point is 02:30:29 It's crazy. I'm like, who are you marketing this for? It's weird. It's a weird car. It's, I forget what it's called. Something wing, something wing. But it's a preposterous car. Like, it's so strange.
Starting point is 02:30:45 It's like fast as an M5. It's four doors, and it has a stick shift and a clutch. You're like, what? What is this? It's weird. What is it called? Say it again. Some new Cadillac four-door manual transmission supercar.
Starting point is 02:31:03 It's a truck? No. Oh. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's a truck? No. Oh. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's a sedan. Black Hawk. That's right. Black Wing.
Starting point is 02:31:09 I was saying Wing. It's Wing? Black Wing? What does it look like? Is it shaped like a sports car or like a luxury car? Like a luxury car. Wow. A luxury car that's fast as fuck.
Starting point is 02:31:18 And here's the thing. It has four doors and a manual transmission. Here's something that I've noticed lately because again not only did i get a rental in l.a but i also had a uh what is it a borrow car here from the dealership that gave me this porsche brand new 2022 luxury automobile and the luxury of the corvette exceeds the luxury of these luxury cars what did you have what kind of luxury car did you get a porsche um tycan no that's the electric one right look at that thing that's the that's the new cadillac that's a wild looking cadillac that is cool it's really fast as too um they should bring back some of those old ones, those old boat body, those thick boys.
Starting point is 02:32:06 Yeah. Well, the thing about that car, your car, is the suspension is a magnetic adjustable suspension. And so the suspension is attached to a computer, and the computer reads the road. So if the road is fucked up, it smooths out the fucked up parts. And if the road is flat flat it stiffens the suspension So it helps your handling so as long as it and when it gets disturbed
Starting point is 02:32:29 I mean it does calculations like some insane speed of calculations that Recognizes the terrain and the differences of train the magnetic rod suspensions that GM vehicles are using now the Cadillac uses it and the Corvette Uses it even more sophisticated version, I think. It's insane. My Corvette, if you push the button, it raises the front five inches, which is critical everywhere. L.A. was crazy. Here's really crazy because some of these parking lots, they're just not built properly. But doesn't it remember? If you press another button.
Starting point is 02:33:02 So really easy right thumb on the wheel thing to remember. So it could be a one-time thing or you press that button again. So like every time I go to my coffee shop, which has a weird lip on the front, it raises all the way and it stays raised until I'm out. And then once you're whatever, 40, 60 feet away from your GPS remembered spot, it lowers itself. Wow. Yeah. It is the best because it was so annoying. Even just the 2019 because it sounds worse than it is.
Starting point is 02:33:38 The scrape. It's just plastic, but that scrape, it just. You can't be cool pulling it in the car when it's scraping. Uh-uh. Not at all and what i noticed is always like the passenger saying like oof like that's the part that was more annoying because it's like they think that i just did something right yeah yeah it's uh it's only a matter of time before all cars are autonomous. I would say it's probably 20 years.
Starting point is 02:34:11 I would say within 20 years from now, you're not going to see anybody driving their car on the road unless they're nuts. It's fluffy driving around one of his fucking VW buses. I think most people are going to be driving some sort of an autonomous vehicle. You get in it, you program your directions, and it goes. And we're going to realize that they're safer and going to reduce accidents in an incredible way. Probably going to eliminate them. When you get everybody on the system, and they're all in those things. But you know what freaks me out? When the Ukraine invasion happened, when it first happened,
Starting point is 02:34:39 a lot of people were saying that Elon Musk should shut off all the Teslas that are in Ukraine. And I was thinking, like, wait a minute. He could do that? Yeah, of course he could do that. And I was like, ooh, that's not good. It's not good to have someone have the ability to shut off your fucking car when you're on the highway. They could just shut it off? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:34:59 You know, they can do that if you're in a chase in some vehicles. In some vehicles, like, I think it's OnStar. It may be, look up this. Does OnStar have the ability to shut off a car if it's being stolen? They have to. So if it's not just if it's being stolen, that also means if they're in pursuit of you. So if you're in that CA Corvette and some cops are chasing after you in some fucking shit box, stupid fucking Ford Explorer, they're going to keep up you. Ha good luck. You're gonna be taking quarters like this OnStar stolen vehicle assistance can help counteract. Okay. Here it is a member has filed a police report and
Starting point is 02:35:41 once authorities have confirmed conditions are appropriate an report and once authorities have confirmed conditions are appropriate an on-star advisor can send a signal to disable the stolen vehicle's engine and gradually slow the vehicle to an idle speed to assist police in recovering the vehicle wow so you have to file a police report but that's like how long does that take so how do they and all those high-speed chase videos we've seen i feel like i've never seen, and they're like, oh, and the OnStar got them, and the car stopped. Yeah, they had different cars. But click on that bottom part that said, how do you disable OnStar?
Starting point is 02:36:13 How do thieves? Go back onto it. How do thieves disable OnStar? Right there? Search for? Bottom? I clicked on it. It's right here.
Starting point is 02:36:22 Oh, sorry, sorry. The only way to completely eliminate OnStar is to physically disconnect the module from your vehicle. Other than the OnStar system and its related services, automatic crash response and emergency services, no other system in the vehicle should stop working when you disconnect the module. Oh, well, fuck it.
Starting point is 02:36:38 I just grabbed that thing with a pair of pliers and we're good to go. Coppers, see ya. That OnStar is the shit. Is it? Oh, my God. When you have to use it and they do it, you're like, wow. Itpers, see ya. That OnStar's the shit. Is it? Oh my god, when you have to use it and they do it, you're like, wow. It's great if you lock your keys in your car.
Starting point is 02:36:49 They'll just open your car for you. You make a phone call and they open your keys. You're like, yeah, I'm right here. And they're like, okay. And you hear, thoop. You hear that lock unlock. It's so cool. That is so trusting. Big brother, though. So trusting. The man to look over you.
Starting point is 02:37:05 I never thought about that on start thing. So that's in my car for sure. So they already, the thing I'm most worried about with the electric car is being able to shut everything down. They can already do that to me. Well, you can have that module with a pair of pliers and yank that fucker right out
Starting point is 02:37:18 of the dash. You don't need your on star. I'm going to keep it. I like it. It's convenient. I think the odds of me locking my keys in my car are better than me getting in a police chase. Yes. Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 02:37:30 For sure. Yeah. No, it's modern conveniences. They're pretty special. But there's something also to no conveniences. There's something to just driving old things. You know, there's something to just driving old things. Old McKay.
Starting point is 02:37:50 Like, I think when you get some cash, as you become a wealthy comedian, you're going to start collecting some cars. I could see you. We're going to have to get you into an old muscle car. What do you think you would look good in? I think you'd look good in a 1969 Corvette. Ooh, is that what Ron has? Ron has a Corvette. No, Ron has C1. You know mine?
Starting point is 02:38:04 I have a C2. So I have a 65. And Ron has a, I think he has a late 50s. He is. He's a beautiful car. Yeah, whatever that is. See if you can find Ron White's Corvette. I'm sure it's 56.
Starting point is 02:38:18 Is it? That's gorgeous. Whatever that thing is, is the dream. Yeah, my friend Casey is working on it right now he's um putting uh fuel injection in ron's car that's it that's it that's it right there look at that thing that's so nice god that's nice that his has a trunk you open it up there's a bar in it yep and now you open it up it just has has a bag of dirt with mushrooms growing in it. It's a great car, though.
Starting point is 02:38:50 The guy who built it did a fucking fantastic job. Was that someone driving it? Kurt Busch. A NASCAR driver? Yeah, a NASCAR champion. Is he going to give it a beat ride? Braun in true form with his cigar. Let's see this.
Starting point is 02:39:04 Listen to the sound of that. That's what you can't fuck with an electric car. That echoey, kind of tinny, muscle car sound, like that sound. I love that sound. Listen to that. Look at that car, Ron White. God damn it. That's a hell of a car.
Starting point is 02:39:24 One of the coolest humans on planet Earth. I love him to death. He's one of those guys that, like, he's a good poster boy for getting sober. Yeah, I can't imagine there really being a better one, because that's a guy that we only saw with a drink in his hand forever. He sells tequila. He's got a tequila company. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:39:44 Number one tequila. He shells for it after. Shills a tequila company. Yeah. Number one tequila. He shells for it after. Shells for it. Yeah. Yeah. He's one of the big reasons why I moved out here. We had so much fun. Me too.
Starting point is 02:39:54 The way he talked to me about it. But he moved out here long before the pandemic. He was telling me how great it was. And I was like, really? You love it that much? He goes, well, I'm going to be in LA every now and then. I'm going to come and do the store. But man, it's just a better life for me out here because he's a golfer golf and live music yes yeah getting
Starting point is 02:40:10 to having the option to go see multiple different types of shows uh a night is unbelievable yeah the bands that we get to see the energy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's good for the soul. It is, right? And it feels like, I don't know, man. We had a good thing going on in L.A., but it feels like better now. It really does. It feels like the only thing that's missing is guys like Diaz being around on a regular basis. Right.
Starting point is 02:40:40 But we have enough guys that are around on a regular basis that are really killing it Yeah, that it's just it feels something like something special. It's exciting And you know what else is exciting stand up live this weekend ladies and gentlemen in Phoenix, Arizona Tony motherfucking Hinchcliffe William Montgomery tickets available go to stand up live calm or whatever the fuck it is Tony Hinchcliffe on Instagram Tony Hinchcliffe on Twitter look at that that must be the McVader right he did that it's too good for anybody else yeah he does all my stuff Thursday Thursday I'm at the Copper Blues live which I guess
