Starting point is 00:00:00 The Joe Rogan Experience Trained by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day! What's it like to be the king of the world Tony Hicks, bro? I got to talk some shit. You're killing it, man. It's exciting. It's an exciting time for you. Yeah. I hope you're enjoying it. Oh, I'm having a blast. Is it weird? Does it feel weird? Kind of, because I wasn't expecting like a big a big moment or like a different boom, a different outside thing because I'm
Starting point is 00:00:38 just content here, chilling. I had my Keltoni stuff and all of our stuff and but yeah, it's awesome It's so interesting to watch it was funny that Brian Simpson said he's with you at the store And he said he watched he goes I watched Tony Hinchcliffe become real famous in real time Yeah Well, you could see like with the first show when you're warming up get ready for the roast then after the roast Yeah, but just going crazy. Yeah, it was weird. I got bumped by another comedian my first night at the store, and then I was the special guest super treat the rest of the week. Like it was like I was the secret weapon kind of, so I was unbumpable.
Starting point is 00:01:20 We should be bumped anyway. Bumping is horseshit. Yeah. Bumping is a thing that was around the store back in the old days, and they should have got rid of it a long time ago. You know, it's one thing if like some superstar Dave Chappelle type Chris Rock character wants to pop in, Louis CK's in town, and they want to do 15 minutes, you know? That's all great. But what used to happen at the store is you would get these comedians that were just doing it for an ego flex
Starting point is 00:01:46 They were just doing it because they wanted to be able to bump other folks on the roster And then they would do like a fucking 45 minutes set and ruin the timeline of the show Everybody's supposed to do 15 minutes. There's like fucking 16 people on the show. It's a long-ass show What how many people are on 16 is it 16? I don't know if it still is. It might be 14 or 12 or something. It's a lot of fucking people. It's crazy that some people will sit there from show open. They will sit there from 8 p.m. and they will be there till 2 a.m. I've seen it. Oh yeah. I've seen it many a times. Some people are just like, especially those tourists, comedy tourists. Yeah. They'd come there from Australia and Ireland and shit. Yeah, they don't want to miss anything. We're getting a lot of those at the mothership, man.
Starting point is 00:02:30 There's a lot of people from other countries. They're telling me they're flying in for this. All the time. It's wild. They come in, they do like a weekend, then they go do Kill Tony, and then they'll do like one of our shows. It's fucking crazy.
Starting point is 00:02:42 Yeah, I always ask now during the commercial break where I get to talk directly to the Killtony audience. And I ask, how many of you live in Austin, Texas? Make some noise. How many of you flew in just for this? And it's always a bigger pop. Isn't that wild? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:54 It's like the city's become like a vacation destination for stand-up. For the arts, I think. I think you can come here and listen to live music, the best, and live comedy and yeah get to see a lot of fucking freaks Yeah, it's just fucking what a time we're in man. Yeah boy. Did we get lucky? I? Mean we just keep getting lucky dude having Shane here is the is a death blow Oh, yeah, the other cities took him out on his first boat trip on
Starting point is 00:03:23 Sunday and We drank of course you wish a new drinking Did you drink Bud lights you dig real alcohol? I drink whiskey cokes he drank Bud lights We always we always fucking meet Yeah, that dude can put them away. We not fuck around Oh my god, you know I try to drink with Shane Gillis. We had so much fun Cracking up man Listening to Drake on the river. That's awesome. He's the best. Yeah It's so nice having him here and it's so nice having Joey here all the time now Joey's coming to get in a week
Starting point is 00:03:58 Unbelievable. Yeah, I was just with him in New Jersey. Yeah He was so hilarious. He was so hilarious at the fights. He was out of his mind. That's what I was telling Lewis is like even the few people that we, you know, really want that haven't moved here are coming here all the time. Like it's a Vegas residency or something like that. Yeah, Theo was there too at the fights and he's coming in July. So we'll do more stuff with him too. Yeah, it's just we're we're lucky shit, dude I mean it I say it all the time, but it's almost like the universe wanted this to happen this way It just seems like every light just turned green right when we got up to it
Starting point is 00:04:34 Unbelievable didn't make sense like this isn't gonna work green light doesn't get in where a green light. This is it Hey, this might work green light. Oh shit. It's happening green light. It's wild Yeah, and it's a special fucking place, man. I love this city with all my heart. I never thought I would leave LA, and then when the shit hit the fan and riots and governments, and you realize taxes are absolutely insane
Starting point is 00:04:59 for what we were getting, and I feel more at home here than I ever did there, and I was there for almost 20 years Yeah, but when the planes landing and you look out the right side and you see downtown Austin Instead of downtown LA it feels more like oh, yeah It's a better place for comedy too in terms of like you you don't have the traffic It's not a grind. It's the middle of the country So if you want to travel to other cities, it's easy to get to
Starting point is 00:05:28 The club situation is amazing. There's so many clubs. There's cab City. There's Creek in the cave There's the Vulcan. There's a Sunset Strip. There's the mothership. There's what else the the black rabbit black rabbit what else, the Black Rabbit, the Vita Room. Shakespeare's. It's crazy, it's crazy. It's an amazing situation. It's like, you know, and you realize like, you don't have to live like that. You don't have to be stuck in this crazy city
Starting point is 00:05:58 of insane traffic and crime. Right, I can see five comedy clubs from my windows and where I live, and I don't even think anybody in New York has that. I don't think you can look down and see five comedy clubs from where you're at at any given point. Look, New York has more clubs and more people and New York's awesome.
Starting point is 00:06:16 It's not a contest. Right. You know, it's not a contest. It's like that whole like, New York is the best. I don't know. If you like it, it's the best. it's whatever is the great whatever is great for you. Right, but this is a crazy place right now. And you know, LA used to be crazy and now only just a fucking steaming pile.
Starting point is 00:06:37 It's on fire. It's just fucked speed of fire to see the sky. You know what that is in Mexico. Speaking of fire, do you see the sky? You know what that is? In Mexico. Oh, we need to Google this too, because Mexico has a new President and I heard that 30 plus presidential candidates were assassinated. Oh That might be just a tick-tock meme So I have to find out so let's find out in real time
Starting point is 00:07:07 But the sky the reason why the sky so looking, that's smoke from wildfires in Mexico. Oh, wow. Yeah, they did a controlled burn and they go, whoops. Oh boy. They whoopsies. Whoops. 37, excuse me. Claudia Scheinbaum was elected the country's first female president after a bloody election campaign that saw 37 candidates assassinated. And that's our neighbor. We live next to a fucking crack house. That's on fire. Crack house on fire run by a Jew.
Starting point is 00:07:40 First lady. First lady. More than three dozen candidates were assassinated, including a local government candidate in Central Puebla State who was killed on Friday, increasing the total number of those killed to 37. Who the fuck would want to run for office in Mexico? Dude. That is so crazy. That is so crazy. Look how few people.
Starting point is 00:08:02 Look, 20,000 positions to fill and 70,000 candidates If you have 20,000 positions in America how many candidates? Yeah, probably a lot more because nobody's getting assassinated That would be one way to start fit in the herd. Yeah I mean how far away I mean sounds crazy, right? This is Mexico. It's not America. We know how far away are we from? Like seeing another JFK type situation Man, I mean Jesus fuck Could be close seems like there's a candidate that the government really doesn't yes. There's one guy. Yes name
Starting point is 00:08:39 One guy who went to the UFC this weekend and got like a 30 second standing ovation Yep, almost as big as Dave in Ohio, but not quite right not quite They're changing the tone on this. I mean, you know, you know, they're doing it They want to try to make them look like a bad guy, but people just aren't stupid anymore I mean, there's obviously still like half the country doesn't get it, but you know so many so many rappers So many rappers are showing support for Trump now. It's crazy. Yeah Cuz now he's got a felony, right? Every day like now they realize also he's getting trapped by the system
Starting point is 00:09:16 Just like everybody's been rapping about right trapped by the system this bullshit system and you watch it happen with him Exactly. Yeah, I was just talking about this is like they I don't think they were counting on the black voter being like hey They just fucked that guy. That's what they do to us Yeah, this is what they do to everybody and they pretend they're there for you while they're letting in immigrants And you know what man? Here's the problem. Here's the real problem Republicans won't be the solution either kids the the problem is people in a position of power. The Republicans seem like they are your solution, but it's just because the people in power right now are the Democrats. Whenever the Democrats are out and the Republicans are in, everybody is dying for a Democrat. I remember when Bush
Starting point is 00:10:01 was president, after the second term. It was like good lord Can we get a fucking reasonable Democrat in here before this country goes Christian? Nationalists and fucking and goes crazy and starts every war Yeah, and that Obama comes in like how things gonna be great But he kind of seems like kind of the same, you know and the whistleblower protection that he promised Yeah, actually probably like one of the worst on whistleblowers ever. Drone strikes, kind of a shit load of drone strikes. The whole thing was bonkers. It's just the same structure with a different face.
Starting point is 00:10:35 It's Bill Hicks' joke. Bill Hicks' joke about, I think the puppet on the left is to my liking. Why more aligned with the puppet on the right? Hey, there's one guy and he's holding both puppets. That's what we're dealing with. We're dealing with money. We're dealing with money and power. And if you think that, that's where a person
Starting point is 00:10:56 like a Trump character does make a difference though, because he truly does not give a fuck. And especially now, after all they've done to him, all the things he survived Yeah, I think this guy was beloved Beloved until he's about 70 years old Yeah, and that's when he starts running for president Actually was a little bit mocked before that while Obama was in office because he was one of those people that was a birther
Starting point is 00:11:23 Yeah, you know he was a I'm one of those people that was a birther. I'm one of those people that I don't give a fuck where you were born, as long as you're not actually an undercover terrorist. If you're clearly a regular person that just happened to be born in Nigeria or happened to be born in Saudi Arabia, but now you're here, you went to school here, you got friends here, you got family here,
Starting point is 00:11:43 you love it here, America's the shit. You can be here. You got family here. You love it here America's the shit you can be president Like I don't really think that you have to be born on a certain patch of dirt to run it That seems like Viking shit. It seems like that seems so old. Yeah, it seems so dumb What about the 35 thing? Is that the age? Yeah, that's a good age up until I was 50 I was retarded. So I don't think that's a bad thing. I think 35 is good just for humans. I think you need a certain amount of life experience.
Starting point is 00:12:19 You need a certain amount of trials and tribulations, character testers, a lot of education, a certain amount of like changing your perspective on the world because we all do that. As a young man I was very liberal, super, super liberal, you know. I mean, anything the Democrats believed, I believed, never interested in anything the Republicans had to say, all they wanted to do was like shove God down your throat and stop abortions totally that's what I was No, I was so with I mean a hundred percent with you on that. It's brainwashing too, right? I was super liberal until I got my first paycheck in the state of California
Starting point is 00:12:55 And then everything started yeah people get rich they get Republican real quick Yeah, yeah, but not there's a lot of really rich people that are Democrats, which is interesting because they got so much money They can vote Democrat They got so much money that I would try to protect it California is considering a 30 cents per gallon tax on The miles or 30 cents per mile because so many people have electric cars. So the gas tax is losing money And they want everybody to have electric car by 30 35 or 20 30 30 35 I'm actually being realistic 2020 20 35 is crazy there's like not enough there's not we don't have enough stuff right we
Starting point is 00:13:35 can't build all those cars like what are you gonna do with all the cars that are gassed you need cars there are there's more cars than there are people there's more cars here than there are people oh that makes sense makes sense. Oh yeah, well a lot more. Well first of all, there's people like me that have a bunch of them, they throw it off. You know, that throws off the divorce thing too. You know, people say, you know, 60% of all marriages end in divorce.
Starting point is 00:13:57 Right, but a lot of those are people that just get divorced a gang of times. They go all Jennifer Lopez on the deal and just like, I'm in forever, fuck you! You new person, I'm in forever, fuck you! She might have another one on her hands. Yeah, looks like she's going down again. Ben, something was up with him at that roast.
Starting point is 00:14:16 He bombed. Oh my goodness. You can't bomb if you're married to Jennifer Lopez. You can't strike out, you can't bomb, you can't fall when you're walking up the flight of stairs or no pussy, right? This is just how it works. Yeah, you want the Viking Queen alpha female. Yeah, if you want Yeah, that's what you get man. She's still that way and she's like what 51 Crazy hot crazy hot at 51. Yeah, Ben was Dearing headlights he deer in headlights.
Starting point is 00:14:45 He hung in there. He tried his best. But, yeah, he stood out on that roast. Maybe it'll be over. I mean, maybe their turbulence will get through at this time. Maybe they don't want to do it again, because they were together 20 years ago. You just got to figure out how to be who you are when you really like each other.
Starting point is 00:15:04 Remember in the beginning? Isn't that when you really like each other like remember in the beginning isn't that fun you appreciate each other Figure out how to recapture that because that's still the same person just people get sick of each other You ever get sick of a guy you work with and you quit the job. You're like fucking miss that dude You know they become part of your little community. Yeah, that's why I keep working with Red Ben He's a character there's only one of those dudes mm-hmm you see his new tattoo Yeah, he showed everybody by the end of the night. I was going around going Hey, did you see red bands a tattoo? Do you see red? He was just showing everyone wasted last night We had another banger of an episode.

Duncan saw him at the creek and he said, dude. He was so funny. He was really laughing hard. He goes. I was really impressed He had to do it great. There was a Can't remember who was headlining this weekend, but he was doing a clean set cuz he's doing a smudge Mike Mike Betion

Let's see what he's doing The first thing we hear is like nice balls you shithead We were dying Nice balls you shithead We were dying
Starting point is 00:16:50 Right first of all you shouldn't ask you gotta be clean you can't ask good Oh, especially a guy who literally is on a show called Legion of skanks. Yeah Yeah, he has a Festival of a year called skank fest yeah skank fest You can't ask him to be clean also Yeah, skank fest you can't ask him to be clean also Vecchione is so fucking funny. It don't matter what go bombs could go off before his set and he'll go up there and kill Yeah, it's not gonna affect people will fall into your rhythm. Yeah, they're they're grown-ups, but we used to think back in the day that Clean people couldn't follow dirty people. That was always the thought I think that's a dumb thought dirty people that was always the thought I think that's a dumb thought like Jim Gaffigan can follow anybody it does not matter he gets into his rhythm and then
Starting point is 00:17:31 he does this thing and he puts you in his mind and then you're off to the races like Brian Regan same deal that whole thing about like clean or dirty like who fucking cares Sebastian another great example who cares just be funny yeah he's just funny Oh, yeah, just if Sebastian start talking about getting his dick sucked. It would be funny, too It's funny that would be fun dirty Sebastian special yeah if one day if like Apocalypse breaks out. This is a few stand it Sebastian starts doing roids now. Let's get it. He's got a gun Carries a gun on his hip if we go like full Mad Max. Yeah
Starting point is 00:18:11 That's happening in Mexico kids 37 candidates assassinated. That is basically the doorway to Mad Max That's crazy 37 candidates assassinated and All the bad that was happening in America 37 candidates assassinated and All the guys that was happening America. Well, what's scary is like what what is that lady? That the question becomes what's the winner gonna do? You're not gonna be a rebel Rebels don't live. Right.
Starting point is 00:18:45 You know, that country is run by money, just like this country is run by money, but instead of the military industrial complex, it's the supplying Americans with drugs. Yeah. That's what it is. That complex. It's not the military industrial complex and the pharmaceutical drug companies, they run this. It's just money.
Starting point is 00:19:04 It's the same thing. And in Mexico, they make their own laws because everything's illegal. And so they are running things with selling us drugs. And until we make drugs legal, which nobody wants to do, that's gonna continue to happen because you're not gonna stop people from wanting to do drugs, and you're not going to stop people from
Starting point is 00:19:25 selling them drugs. You're not going to, especially if they're from another country, especially if they're running that country. And they've been doing it so long, they've amassed so much resources and money. They have tanks, they have anti-aircraft weaponry, they have everything, man. They have fucking hundreds of billions of dollars. Like who knows how much money they have If you added up all the cartels in Mexico Well, I bet the Jewish president knows exactly how much money I bet she knows I bet they know where she sleeps and I bet I bet she follows the rules
Starting point is 00:20:00 Yeah, I guess you have to like if you want to be president of Mexico that is a totally different proposition They Kennedy 37 people a year They're so crazy Unbelievable how close we are to them. Hey go walk there. Yeah, you could walk there like cam Haynes has run like longer distances and races his run like longer distances and races especially if you're down in South Texas my friend who lives in South Texas had a guy die on his property oh wow yeah probably dehydrated or sick or something he just couldn't make it it was in the heat I only went to Mexico once we were in San Diego and we drove down and the
Starting point is 00:20:42 first thing I saw was a dead body Leaning against the the rock with that split that says this side's America this side's Mexico Yeah, and we were high as shit. So like we were immediately like was he count going back? The room coming in no, he was uh, he was just dead. He was just a dead old Mexican guy Oh like old age dead. Well, probably dehy... I mean, it could have been anything. Who knows? I have no idea. But he was just... You know a doctor?
Starting point is 00:21:10 No, he was arms crossed with a thing over his head. Oh, Jesus. And... So they had him like... He was literally... Like arms crossed? Laid there next to the rock, like a corpse. Maybe somebody didn't have money for a funeral.
Starting point is 00:21:22 Like, hey, grandpa's been real. Take care. Love ya. Let somebody figure this out money for a funeral. Like, hey, grandpa's been real. Take care. Love you. Let somebody figure this out. Yeah, that's a weird one. You know how much money a fucking funeral costs? That's the thing Joey Diaz hit me to. He goes, you know what a fucking scam is?
Starting point is 00:21:35 These fucking mortuary homes and the funeral homes and all that shit. You have to do it. You have to do it even if someone wants to be cremated. You have to embalm them. So you have to pay for that. And then you have to pay for a coffin. And then they try to upsell you.
Starting point is 00:21:49 Don't you want a Cadillac of a coffin for Grampy? Grampy always liked red velvet. He was the king. Dressed Grampy up in his nicest suit and a red velvet. And it cost you $40,000 for the whole thing. You're like, what am I doing? My buddies pulled a big Lebowski. We had a comedian that we all started with named Skeezy and he passed away.
Starting point is 00:22:11 And nobody in his family wanted to claim the ashes so Benji and Matt Edgar were like, well, we'll put him somewhere. He loved Venice Beach. Let's take him to the beach. So Benji goes to the Venice Beach mortuary or whatever, picks up the urn. They go to the ocean and Matt's kind of watching Benji goes to the Venice Beach Mortuary or whatever picks up the urn. They go to the ocean and Matt's kinda watching Benji
Starting point is 00:22:29 and he goes like waist high in the water and he dumps out Skeezy's ashes and it all just starts to compile. All around Benji and Matt's laughing and fucking Benji's cracking up. And as he gets out, like the ashes are like following him So they're like all over his body So he had to go shower in one of those Venice Beach like public showers to get the ashes off from what I heard
Starting point is 00:22:53 someone told Who was who they talking to there was some podcasts we were talking about I kind of wish I can remember So I give him credit But there was some podcasts where they were talking about what you're what you're really getting when you get grampies ashes It's like you can ash that's just sitting in the bottom of this furnace. It's not necessarily your grandpa They don't like clean it out perfectly right no one's watching no one gives a shit also What it really looks like when they burn someone when they burn the body you have like fragments of bone and shit There's a lot see if you can find like
Starting point is 00:23:27 Images of what it looks like when they actually cremate someone but the guy was like you're not getting ashes and not only that sometimes they just throw other stuff in there like cement you'll get cement you like they don't give a fuck like it's just it's symbolic it's just a dumb thing we do what you're supposed to do is let that body feed life We're so stingy. We don't even let our bodies feed life. So that's what it really looks like Look what it looks like bones chips and shit. Yeah, Theo had a mortician on Maybe was Theo did he say that I don't know specifically I bet I bet that's exactly what it is Now I'm thinking about it. I don't know
Starting point is 00:24:14 Either way there was someone was saying that a lot of the stuff you're getting in there in Disreputable I'm not saying all of them of course some of them sure you're grampy, but other disreputeable ones I don't go fuck. They'll throw a fucking kitty litter in there here. Go worship the kitty litter fucking idiot They don't care. They're just doing this in and out and in there here. Go worship the kitty litter. You fucking idiot. They don't care They're just doing this in and out and in and out and here's the other thing Do you know how many guys wind up fucking the female corpses? No, you know that this has been an issue No, my friend claims that when he was young that they went to a funeral home and that the guy
Starting point is 00:24:47 Came to like they were ringing the doorbell the guy wouldn't come They're knocking on the door was like for someone in their family that was dead and the guy was in the back and Came out he was sweaty and out of breath and They were like what the fuck is this guy doing he was acting super fucking sketchy and really weird they think he was back there with one of the corpses oh yeah he goes he just felt like he just fucked somebody I go really he goes when you think about it it's like these
Starting point is 00:25:20 women are hot and they're they haven't deteriorated. And no one's around. Oh, come on. Yes. There's rigor mortis and stuff. It's it's hard. Are you sure? Yeah, it's got to be. It's got to be like reported cases of employees sexually abusing dead bodies are relatively rare. Yeah, if they get caught, perhaps those prolific necrophiliac. Do you remember the one that the bit
Starting point is 00:25:47 Kinnison had? Oh my god. It was how I found out about Kinnison. I found out about it through a girl I worked with. This girl I work with reenacted Kinnison's bit about homosexual necrophiliacs paying money to morticians to spend a few hours undisturbed their freshest male corpse So kinnison like did this bit where's you ever see the bit? Oh, it's a fucking classic dude It's a classic see if you can find the bit Play it and then we'll just edit it out fucking YouTube
Starting point is 00:26:21 Yeah, they're tricky man. We got a fucking play the game Listen, they're awesome. They're awesome. They have the best platform. I mean, it's the most accessible. It's so easy to share. The sharing things is huge because you don't really share Netflix store movies and stuff. I tell people here it is. Wow. What yeah so this girl that I work with this was at the Boston Athletic Club she got down in the parking lot and she was lying on her stomach she was like oh oh I mean life keeps fucking the ass even after you're dead it never ends she's like doing that and I'm howling laughing and her doing an impression of Kinnison that's how I found out about Sam Kinnison
Starting point is 00:27:05 Wow, yeah fucking amazing. That's before I was even thinking about doing comedy. I was 19 Yeah, I was like, wow, that's crazy. What's he doing? Yeah, I just like what I remember watching him for the first time going. Oh That's comedy too Like I always loved comedy I always used to watch The Tonight Show, like when Richard Jeni would be on or Seinfeld would be on. I loved The Tonight Show. I loved Stand Up, like Evening at the Improv. Like when I was like, I wasn't even 21, I went to see Jerry Seinfeld with this girl I was dating. We're just sitting there like, wow,
Starting point is 00:27:40 seeing comedy. And I went to, but I always thought comedy was that. It was like the TV comedy, you know? And then there was Richard Pryor, and then there was Eddie Murphy, but I never thought like sick shit could be funny until I saw Kinnison. I was like, oh my God. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:57 Like that's a different thing. I didn't know that was comedy too. Right, no, I'm with you. I was a Jim Carrey guy, and you know, when I was young, therey guy and you know when I was young, the funny faces and all the silly noises and stuff and everything and then when he did Man on the Moon and I saw that darker side of things
Starting point is 00:28:16 and Andy gets fired from the improv right at the beginning of the movie and I realized right then that he was making money performing in front of live audiences And I'm like what the fuck is that that's quick wait So there's like a lower level before the tonight show and stuff right and I started going to libraries and Stuff to look up books on Andy Kaufman. I would look up Andy Kaufman and find any book that mentioned them I went down this crazy dark rabbit hole. I used to go to Jerry's deli all the time
Starting point is 00:28:45 That place was awesome. It was a great place because 24 hours You could always go there after shows and they had a photo of Andy Kaufman on the wall So it's Andy Kaufman when he worked there. So Andy Kaufman while he was on taxi Took a job at Jerry's deli just to wait tables. Yeah, just to like be weird We began their fucking tables cleaned up and they're like wait What are you the is that latke or whatever his name was? What was his name? Like a gravis? Yeah, and that's back when look at them. Yeah, he's looking working there while he was on taxi Yeah back when there's only three channels, so there's not a ton of famous people right exactly
Starting point is 00:29:31 Yeah, boy you had to hang out with famous people back then because nobody understood nobody got you yeah You know Jesus Christ matching like a famous person like a John Belushi back then Crazy too much pressure Well the shows the amount of people who will watch those shows, too He used to bus table to the restaurant at the height of his fame on the television show taxi Koffman would stay in character as a humble busboy always denying that he was Koffman Jerry's Jerry's went under the studio city one went under two. Oh god. They closed them all there. Are they all done? Yeah, god damn it. Yeah, we were stuck on the norms when I was there a few weeks ago. How's norms?
Starting point is 00:30:16 It does if you're hungry enough to go to norms at 3 or 4 a.m. Then it's just fine. My favorite is Cantor's Yeah, can't catch this is the shit. That is the quintessential Jewish deli. Yeah, like they're Ruben their pastrami Ruben Off the charts. Yeah off the charts. They have the best pastrami in the city It's as far as I've had like Jerry's was really good Cantor's is one level above it. Totally one love you mean you feel the cholesterol Like right in your veins. Yeah It's just the sauerkraut and the fucking Russian dressing and the other ride bread come on Come on. I've been eating like such shit lately that's spaghetti
Starting point is 00:30:56 That's spaghetti and meatballs from boa here fucked me up dude Spaghetti with wagyu meatballs. I've been going that a lot I've had it twice since then. And it's like, I have to stop because it's literally like heroin. I feel like shit afterwards. I feel like shit the next day. It's like crazy.
Starting point is 00:31:14 I don't know what the hell they have in that fucking pasta. It must be a thousand percent like Heisenberg level gluten because it is addictive and makes you feel terrible. But it makes you so happy for the six minutes that it takes me to eat the entire dish. Just rolling it up. And then you feel terrible for 30 hours. Yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:31:35 It's the closest thing I'd imagine to heroin that there is. Of course there's probably a bunch of people on heroin. But isn't that similar to getting drunk? You know, if you drink a little bit, you feel great while it's happening and the next day like I'm never doing that Again, yeah, I do that all the time Yeah, it's the same thing I ate with Joey Friday night in New Jersey went to his spot ill neato There is nothing like East Coast Italian food. Yeah is a different thing. It's a different level. It's a different level.
Starting point is 00:32:07 That Il Nino place, I would fly in to go to that place. Oh, look at that. That was charred clams on this fucking insane toasted bread. That was spicy rigatoni. Dude, it was off the charts. That's the meatballs. Off the charts. The steak was perfect. Everything's perfect. That's the meatballs, off the charts. Yeah, whole different level. The steak was perfect.
Starting point is 00:32:25 Everything's perfect. That's bone marrow with potato puffs. Oh, dude, it was so good. And that's, what is that? What's that called? The thin sliced beef. What the fuck is it called? Ceviche?
Starting point is 00:32:38 No, ceviche. Tartar? No, no, carpaccio. My crew, we did Cleveland and then a night in Pittsburgh and Youngstown's dead in between the two so I took we stopped off in Youngstown for lunch and got two different types of pizza from two different places and Everyone's minds are completely blown because you cannot get pizza like that anywhere Yeah, try to find something in Chicago, but that's Chicago and New York's New York
Starting point is 00:33:09 There's net there's not that middle not deep dish not thin crust, but in Youngstown. There's 20 places unlike any place Anywhere else so what's like a hybrid of deep dish? It's just a normal old fucking like lunch school lunch pizza But different types Bellary is famous for their Briar Hill, which is you know just plain with shaker cheese and some green peppers Which is diabolical because if the sauce is good and the bread is good and the cheese is good You don't need anything else. It's like a simple. Yeah, well, that's what Portnoy always gets he always gets a plain cheese pizza
Starting point is 00:33:49 You watch his reviews a cheese piece sometimes. Yeah, I love the ones where the people get mad and shit It's so mad. Yeah, if he doesn't if it doesn't meet up to standards I mean the guys eating everybody's pizza like you got to know what the fuck you're doing But he says that New Haven, Connecticut is like where? Some of the best pizza in the world comes from that makes sense I could see that a lot of those off shoot Italian spots where they hit away like Youngstown Like that a guarantee Pittsburgh has decent. You know what they have in common Mob activity Oh exactly New Haven has a lot of mob activity. 100%
Starting point is 00:34:26 I used to work at the Joker's Wild. It's a place in New Haven and the owner was a crazy convict Yeah, just out of his mind And I saw the owner beat a guy in the face with his shoe took his shoe off and beat a guy in the face With the heel of his shoes. Oh Yeah, I had blood all over him. Oh Fucking disaster. those people need pizza They figure out how to get the good pizza. Yeah. Yeah, it's funny how that's the case though If you have like a serious Italian neighborhood, you're probably
Starting point is 00:34:56 Mafia influence in there totally. I mean, that's all they know you got a bet on things You got to run things get a tax here tax there protect them Imagine no one money to a bookie. Oh terrifying that would be Yeah, you're on the run you have a hundred thousand dollars to this guy Then you're trying to gamble on other games to make it right Yeah, like uncut gems. Oh, yeah, that movie gives me so much anxiety Watch that movie like don't oh Jesus Christ. What are you doing? I'm fucking Dude, I watched this show that gave me more anxiety than any show. I've ever watched in my entire fucking life what?
Starting point is 00:35:34 Baby reindeer. Oh, I've heard it's insane. It's the scariest thing ever It's the scariest show ever This guy's nice to one person who he doesn't really want to be nice to, gives her a water or a tea or whatever and she falls in love with them and it become it is the scariest show. I think it's supposed to be a comedy. I don't think I laughed once. The comedy part's not funny. He's also trying to be a comedian. None of it's funny at all, but it's literally you're watching for the anxiety. I started it and then I'm like,
Starting point is 00:36:10 I don't wanna watch but I have to, and I just kept going and it's fucking frightening. Have you seen the actual lady go on Piers Morgan? Yeah, and she's literally like how she is in the thing. She's insane. Oh. And happy to talk about it. Yeah. And claiming she's not insane. insane right and not knowing how insane you look yeah
Starting point is 00:36:30 Fucking fright it's wild when people don't know how insane they are and you watch like oh god They don't they think they're saying they think they're fine. They think you're gonna go on there make good argument Those are the most insane people the ones that don't know Right. Yeah, you've been watching the Fauci hearings. No, whoa Dude, it's wild. It's wild. What's going on still still like deeply in denial about everything He's I mean they're confronting him about emails they got about deleting emails in preparation of a Freedom of Information Act request they got about deleting emails in preparation of a Freedom of Information Act request. They got emails from people that he worked with saying, you know, that, uh, don't worry,
Starting point is 00:37:14 Fauci is too smart to talk about this stuff on emails. You'll either have to deliver something to him or meet him in person. There's all this like weird deception shit. There's people that said this is clearly leaked from a lab. Look at the fairing cleavage sites. They have to be that that's put into the virus to make it more infectious to human beings. They're talking about it in the email and then that same guy after talking to Fauci like three days later is like it's ridiculous to think this came from a lab. This is clearly from a natural order and they're all talking about discrediting people who are talking about the lab leak theory. I mean, they what they did was insane,
Starting point is 00:37:51 and they did it in front of everybody. And finally, Fauci has to talk about it to people. But he's still in denial about all of it. There's no science that says that masking for children works. There's no science that says that vaccine children works,. There's no science that says that vaccinating children works. That it's good, that it's overall good. And the amount of people that have gotten wrecked by this, they're starting to recognize it in other countries, and they're talking about it in other countries. They haven't quite gone public with it in all the newspapers in the United States yet. But in the UK, they're blaming it.
Starting point is 00:38:23 There was the thing about Germany today. There was a front page of like a major newspaper. Somebody sent it to me. I'll send it to you, Jamie. But they're finally starting to talk about it. And they're talking about excess deaths in the Philippines. They're talking about the amount of people that are no longer having children, the amount of less children that are born, because one of the side effects that is claimed is it wrecks women's fertility. Then it wrecks men's fertility too. The baby numbers are down by a million.
Starting point is 00:38:57 So, I couldn't tell what newspaper it was from. Yeah, I don't know. I bet if you take the title, but they're talking about it. Analyze data. Just here we go. It says researchers from the Netherlands analyze data from 47 Western countries and discovered there have been more than 3 million excess deaths since 2020, with the trend continuing despite the rollout of vaccines and containment measures, experts said the unprecedented figures raise serious concerns and called on governments to fully investigate the underlying causes, including possible vaccine harms.
Starting point is 00:39:41 This is wild stuff man because You know now that we're getting an understanding of how much deception was involved like trying to Blame it on a natural origin when they clearly knew it was a lab leak They still don't say it's a lab leak. It was clearly a lab leak. Yes, clearly Obviously, I'm not a doctor but in my eyes It looks like a fucking lab leak and most people that are educated think it's a fucking lab leak. And this guy still does is denying it. Yeah. And was denying that it's even gain of function.
Starting point is 00:40:11 They even funded that research. But they changed the definition of gain of function for this particular vaccine. What did they change it to? The definition of gain of function on the NIH website was changed. It was updated. So that was from the telegraph. The telegraph. OK.
Starting point is 00:40:29 COVID vaccines may have helped fueled rise in excess deaths. The excess deaths have to be discussed, and no one wants to, because that's the real thing. The all-cause mortality deaths, the big uptick in cancer and what they're calling turbo cancer Obviously again, I don't understand any of this stuff, but Peter McCullough was talking about what the mechanism behind This rise in cancer would be and how it could be tied into it He was explaining it like from a medical perspective
Starting point is 00:41:05 And it was just the whole thing is so nuts. Like when are we gonna learn? Like when are we gonna learn? Yeah, it's crazy when I'm being back in LA they rehired the people that they fired for For not being vaccinated like roses like running the joint Yeah assistant GM and I don't know, it just brought me great joy to see things like that at least. At least sort of back to normal. Exactly. That part was the part where I'm like, gotta go to Texas. it's time. They're forcing people to get a shot of something
Starting point is 00:41:45 to work at a dirty night comedy club. And to fly and to do everything and they're lying about whether or not it's gonna stop the virus. They lied about it. They said it's gonna stop it in its tracks. It was all bullshit. There was no data that showed that it stopped it
Starting point is 00:42:02 in its tracks. Even one of the people in the vaccine study got COVID. I mean, literally. One of the people died from COVID. Did you know that? Uh-uh. Yeah. So many people that got the shot got it immediately.
Starting point is 00:42:14 It was, I mean, it's crazy. They're literally like, I've had COVID four times, I got two shots. I got three boosters, I've had it five times. Like, it's like so Contrary to what the whole thing was supposed to do. I mean, I'm just hoping that people wake up and realize that We have this idealistic perspective that they're looking out for your best interest But whenever there's enormous amounts of money to be made they will distort the facts Even if something is beneficial.
Starting point is 00:42:45 I mean, let's just pretend that there's no excess deaths. Let's pretend that it just causes a bunch of neurological issues and autoimmune issues, which it seems to do. Let's pretend it's just that. Even that, they're not going to tell you about. They're not going to tell you about it until it's already, there's problems. They've shown that with the Vioxx problem. When they had that Vioxx scandal, they knew, they had emails saying we're going to have problems but I think that we'll do well with this. Talking about financially. Because you got money people, man.
Starting point is 00:43:16 Money people aren't medicine people. But medicine is medicine and medicine is to help people. But it's run by money people. So you have the scientists that create the awesome medicine and then you have the money people who figure out a way to fucking sell this to people force people to take it. And that when you watch videos of all the different things. And during this thing, one of the things is that Fauci was claiming that he didn't coerce anybody to take the vaccine, but there's this whole recorded conversation of him talking about if you keep people from working, you keep people like if Amazon says they're not going
Starting point is 00:43:51 to hire people at big corporations, you have to be vaccinated to fly. He goes, it's shown that people will drop their ideological bullshit and get vaccinated. You can imagine, just imagine that's from a public health official who knows that it doesn't stop infection. He has to know what the data is. He has to know. It was all just to get people to take it. And they made so much money. And the government, you know, this is the weird thing. There's $710 million was earned. And Fauci's claiming that he never made any money. Zero.
Starting point is 00:44:29 Said he got zero dollars from it. Said he got like $122 from a monoclonal antibody patent that he has. It's crazy that they work for the American people with taxpayers' money, and they create something that they put a patent on, and then that makes him hundreds of millions of dollars seven hundred ten million dollars like where'd that go you didn't get any of it but the other thing they showed was that Fauci's income his net worth went up to eleven million dollars so he made a lot of money. Yeah. Maybe he sold a book. Yep. I mean, maybe it was legit.
Starting point is 00:45:07 Yeah, I saw something of him on my Twitter feed, him just playing victim. Mm-hmm. You see that guy behind him? Uh-uh. This is a fucking amazing video. This guy behind him, when Fauci's talking about the death threats, you go to the guy, he's like, Yeah. Do you guys make in this face?
Starting point is 00:45:24 Have you seen it Jamie? I'll send it to you. It's hilarious the dudes hilarious But anytime anybody does that in my mind the stuff that playing victim Yeah, the stuff that I've been through like and seen because I had a lot of death threats during quite a few phases of my my jokes Being out there. That's all it is. That's it. Give me the volume.
Starting point is 00:45:49 I mean, it's such a joke. You probably. Of two individuals and credible death threats means someone who clearly was on their way to kill me. And it's required my having protective services, essentially all the time. It is very troublesome to me. It is much more troublesome because they've involved my wife and my three daughters.
Starting point is 00:46:17 At this moment, how do you feel? Keep your mic on. Terrible. Do you continue to receive threats today? Yes, I do. Every time someone gets up. Yeah, well. Well, that was the other thing.
Starting point is 00:46:31 They blame podcasters. Right. They blame podcasters and they said that we're responsible for 200 to 300,000 deaths. Yeah, that makes total sense. Hey, man, you made it. Yeah. First of all, don't blame us. First of all, you made it. Yeah, first of all don't blame us first of all you made it. Yeah You fucking made it you funded it. Yeah, you were a part of the research
Starting point is 00:46:55 Andy was the main salesman on the air every day Yeah, and we need when we were watching the news because there was nothing else we wanted updates We wanted to see when things were gonna open, if any positive news was there. And we had him. The richest thing of all is Chris Cuomo's now taking Ivor Macklin. Oh my god, Dave Smith bodying him is one of the greatest all time, I mean. I said this before and it was that.
Starting point is 00:47:21 I said it was gonna be Mike Tyson versus Marvis Frazier. Like what have I gotten myself into? And that's what it was. But he did it to himself. He did it to himself. I mean, Dave did it to him for sure, but Chris did it to himself. He just has this bizarre way of trying to like lawyer it up
Starting point is 00:47:39 and twist the words and turn it into something that's okay. I didn't say that. Where's the clips? And then they show the clip. Yeah. And he's still trying to pretend that they were mocking people for taking horse dewormer. And there was more than that.
Starting point is 00:47:52 These clips, they do a funny thing over at CNN. I think we were talking about this the other day because of a joke that I do in the headlines. They do a funny thing where they can change the headlines after a certain amount of time. Oh yeah. They can change that. they can delete videos, they can copyright strike them.
Starting point is 00:48:08 They have control over what they've done. And they went on and on and on. There was a whole thing with, I was obsessed with CNN because I find propaganda to be very, very interesting. I wanna know what everyone else is seeing. I wanna know what the audiences are seeing. I want to know what the audiences are seeing. Especially the people that aren't really paying attention. Maybe they don't have friends that know
Starting point is 00:48:30 what's really going on. They don't know the whole history behind everything. And I know it's not real. I look at CNN like most people look at pro wrestling. And I look at pro wrestling like it's pro wrestling. Like it's real. No. But I mean. Yeah, it is at pro wrestling like it's pro wrestling like it's a real But I mean yeah, it is like progress especially during that time I was studying that so hard cuz I I knew I knew that they were I knew something was fucking rotten
Starting point is 00:48:56 Yeah going on. They don't know what to do about Israel and Palestine. They're just like trapped. They're trapped in the middle Did you see in Philly where the gay pride parade ran into the free Palestine parade? I wouldn't let him pass yeah, like no our things more important right then you guys fucking each other yeah Crazy it's just the woke eating woke. It's left eating the left yep, but that's what they've always done They eat themselves by the way the right does it too the right does it, too They did it all they do it all the time It's a human characteristic that we can't really just say one side does because it's not true The gay parade and the Palestine parade meeting up in the middle is like the time kid rock shot a bunch of Bud Light
Starting point is 00:49:41 No, because no, no no business is gonna get crushed by it It's like no you guys don't want to you guys don't want to fight each other Look at this look at this looking look at the free Palestine the gay pride is a standoff It's a fucking flat-out standoff hid jobs versus blow jobs. No Hid jobs versus blow jobs No pride in genocide, so they're stopping the pride parade no you can't have your parade our parades more important I love the masks. I just love them look at all these people with masks on it is the liberals Maga hat it is I've said it a million times, but that's what it is. It's a fucking maga hat Oh my good these dorks how many of them had fucking masks on man?
Starting point is 00:50:27 It's crazy They don't even work. I mean yeah, they work as well as that lady's visor that's turned backwards Yeah, and they definitely don't work against AIDS so wearing one at a gay pride parade is completely pointless Imagine do you think the man this is gonna protect you? yeah, they're wearing a mask outside and meanwhile they Butt-fuck strangers and glory holes and stuff So it's like I honestly think it's more of the free Palestine people that were wearing the masks You think anybody's ever worn a mask at a glory hole? What's that?
Starting point is 00:51:03 They don't want to be identified in photos. That's true to write pretty much most of it. You think most of it Yeah retaliation. Yeah, I Don't think it should be legal to wear a mask in public I Agree with that. I just think it's too creepy. You could rob someone Yeah, it's I mean in New York City if someone had a mask on in the past you'd be like really wary Oh my god, this guy's got a ski mask on fuck. Yeah yeah it was scary it means they were gonna rob you and you couldn't identify them right why are we allowing that it doesn't work the date is in kids doesn't work it never made sense even in the early days of the pandemic there was
Starting point is 00:51:39 a famous doctor that went viral because he was doing vape hits and he would put a mask on and the vape smoke would blow straight through the mask because he was doing vape hits and he would put a mask on and the vape smoke would blow straight through the mask and he was explaining like this is these vapor particles are bigger than COVID particles. Like it's going right through that mask. It's not stopping jack shit and you're gonna get it. Right. You're gonna get it.
Starting point is 00:52:01 And you know they said oh the masks work at the margins like if you fuck with the numbers Because here's the thing how many people wear masks all the time are also are also super fucking paranoid, right? So they're avoiding crowds are not going out how many people who won't wear a mask are a little loose They're just like fuck it if I get sick I get sick already got code fuck it, you know, they just go out say, fuck it, if I get sick, I get sick, I already got COVID, fuck it. You know, they just go out. So you can't, it's hard to know when you have a large group of when something is weird as the pandemic happens. And even then they can't show, it's not like all the people with masks showed
Starting point is 00:52:37 80% of them didn't get COVID. Uh-uh. No, they all got COVID. Everybody got COVID. And then there's this this thing where they want to say it protects you from hospitalization and death no that's not true either because i know a lot of people who are vaccinated who got COVID who got to the fucking hospital and i know a couple that died yeah how many people do you know that died from COVID Yeah. How many people do you know that died from COVID?
Starting point is 00:53:04 I confirmed actually don't know anybody, I don't think. I mean, it's kind of debatable. Like Jeff Scott, I mean, I don't know. No Jeff Scott, he died alone, like in his, I don't think he had COVID. I mean, yeah, exactly. I know some people that died during that period, but really nobody. Jeff Scott was HIV positive too. Yeah, for a long time.
Starting point is 00:53:24 I wonder if maybe he couldn't get his meds. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, because that was an issue during the pandemic as well. That's when we realized that China makes all our medicine. Like what? China makes a lot of things, man. It's crazy how much we rely on them for manufacturing stuff. Yep, crazy.
Starting point is 00:53:43 Yeah, they're trying to mitigate some of that now. Samsung's actually putting in a chip factory in Austin. Huh. Yeah, should be interesting. Yeah, we gotta do something. We gotta get businesses back over here and stuff. Yeah, well we definitely shouldn't rely on a foreign country that is not our ally
Starting point is 00:54:01 for our fucking medicine. Jesus. That's so kooky. That is such a kooky thought. We live in the craziest times. It's so weird, man. Every day it's weirder and weirder and every day AI gets stronger and stronger
Starting point is 00:54:21 and every day I wonder, are these the last days of just being a regular person are these the last days of us just driving around getting on a plane going to places telling jokes are these the last days of that like are we gonna be living in a world in five years that's unrecognizable because I think we are dude I hope not I don't know the AI stuff still I'm not. I don't know. The AI stuff still, I'm not completely mesmerized or convinced. I hear you and Duncan talking about it a lot in the green room and I'm just always like, I don't know. I don't really, I haven't bought in yet. It all just seems like a fancy Alexa to me.
Starting point is 00:54:58 Well, have you actually seen what it can do? Have you ever seen what it can do like as far as coding? It can code so much faster than people. Like it can solve problems Have you ever seen what it can do like as far as coding? It can code so much faster than people. It can solve problems faster than people. It can do all these things already better than people can. No one in the future is going to need to hire a coder. Like a person who sits in front of a terminal for 16 hours a day and just fucking adderalls out and just lines of code, that's done. That's done. You do that if you want to but the computer is gonna bang it out quick It's it'll be stupid for you to do that when a computer do it in two seconds and you're gonna spend 16 hours and you might fuck up a few lines and you got to go back and check it and
Starting point is 00:55:37 Why why you're not doing it manually the computer is gonna do it? You know why are you gonna stand there with one one of those old timey photographs or everybody has to stand still? No, you have a phone now takes better picture. It's gonna be like that with everything. It's, it's going to be in control of airplanes, it's going to be in control of all the automobiles. The problem is, you're gonna have to get like permission to go places, it's gonna get fucking weird, dude. It's gonna get really, really
Starting point is 00:56:05 weird. Yeah, I just hope we can, I don't know. Well think about the amount of change that we have now in comparison to just our parents. Just our parents. The best transportation back then was an airplane. The best way to get the news was the television or a newspaper. And you didn't know what to do with your life. You just had to go to college. Then you go to college or you go to trade school or you get an apprenticeship and you get a job. And then you get a kid and you go like you don't know what the fuck is going on in the world.
Starting point is 00:56:39 He was like surface level understanding of what's going on in the world. And now everybody knows what's going on in the world. Now, like the amount we knew about the Iraq invasion in like in 92, 93, whatever it was, when Iraq invaded Kuwait and desert storm, the amount we knew was like minuscule. Yeah. Minuscule.
Starting point is 00:57:03 Nobody, there was no like YouTube shows where you could see someone breaking it down. Oh, they're actually trying to get away from the American dollar. We're trying to do this and that. And there's none of that. No one knew the hustle. It's crazy that these wars are still happening. Okay, I don't know. I don't know why we're giving them our money. It's we need a I don't know. That's not gonna change. Yeah. I mean that I not going to change. Yeah. I mean, that, I mean, that might shift if Trump becomes president. I mean, maybe he can get away with some stuff.
Starting point is 00:57:30 Maybe he could do some things. He wants to stop the wars. He's like the only one that's like saying he can stop the wars and wants to stop the wars. He's the only one that did before. He did. What can he do though? What can he do different? Like what can, let's's pretend let's pretend it's
Starting point is 00:57:47 November of 2024 Trump wins January gets an office. What can he do? Well, it seems like he has a way to Jesus Christ Trump is planning to send kill teams to Mexico to take out cartel leaders Planning to send kill teams to Mexico to take out cartel leaders Donald Trump has told allies about his plans to covertly send special forces to Mexico to assassinate drug kingpins sources tell Rolling stone or rolling stone you have lied to me before You've lied to me a lot and you've lied to me about the fucking people Overdosing on horse dewormer. Remember that? That was Rolling Stone. They had a line of people outside waiting to get to the hospital because so many people were
Starting point is 00:58:30 in there for horse dewormer overdoses that gunshot victims couldn't get in. Jesus. They're so dumb they used a photograph. This was in like August in Oklahoma. They used a photograph of people wearing coats because they were lining up for a flu shot. It was a different shot, different photo. It wasn't what they were lining up for a flu shot it was a different shot different photo it wasn't what they really were there for it was bullshit what is that article Jim same thing yeah same thing printed on Yahoo the source was Rolling Stone in here too yeah I mean if he was doing that someone's a rat so shut the fuck up
Starting point is 00:59:05 It seems like a seems like the type of article that you would put out if you want the person Assassinated and you want to make it look like someone else is going to assassinate them We're a little differently one source recalled him saying it in the past earlier this year that he would do He should create a kill list of drug lords consisting of most notorious heads of drug cartels that a special ops team would be tasked with killing or capturing. That's a different way of saying that. You know, the problem with that is you create a power vacuum and then what happens is someone else rises to the new spot. You're not going to stop the demand, so you're not going to stop the supply.
Starting point is 00:59:42 You can try, but unless you're in an all out everyday war with the cartel, you're probably not going to do that. Even if you kidnap and capture leaders, you're going to disrupt the organization. But my guess, my uneducated guess would be someone was going to come in to fill that void. Yeah. They got to make drugs legal, as horrible as that sounds. But that's the only way. They just make drugs legal, as horrible as that sounds. But that's the only way. They just make them legal, tax the shit out of them, and use the money for treatment centers and education.
Starting point is 01:00:13 And testing. Yeah, and testing. You know that it's illegal to have, it's illegal to have, or to give away fentanyl test strips in the state of Texas to legal illegal Can you sell them? Me and my buddy are starting a water company. Here's how I know about this canned water, right and The plan was to get them into all the bars in the city our idea was to literally just attach
Starting point is 01:00:47 a 30 cent fentanyl test strip. And then we found out we can't do that. You can't give away fentanyl test strips. You can't even order them in Texas. Can you sell them? If you go to Amazon, you can get fentanyl test strips in specific states. Whoa. Yeah. Why would they stop test strips?
Starting point is 01:01:09 That you think is encouraging people to do coke is that what that is I Have no that doesn't make any sense. I know It's very bizarre There's so many dumbass fucking laws Yeah, because there's so many goofy people and both the left and the right Texas House passes bill decriminalizing fentanyl test strips Bill would take fentanyl test strips off the state's drug part of an alial list Meaning it would no longer be a crime to carry them
Starting point is 01:01:38 Yeah, maybe you just can't give them out Yeah, which is crazy Why don't you Google? Is it legal to give out fentanyl test strips in Texas? That's all I got here. Did it give any articles? Other than that? It probably says below that part. How much time can you get for selling fentanyl in Texas? How much time 20 years? For 200 to 400 grams, you're looking at five to 99 years or even life in prison
Starting point is 01:02:07 and a fine of up to ten thousand dollars life in prison with the most severe punishment for having more than 400 grams wow they also only do like the state bill stuff here for like i mean i don't know how different it is in other states but it's only like six months out of the year the other half they're not like they're out of session Jesus you have to wait till next year before they start looking at stuff again that happened with Jesus there's no reason there's no reason they can't have a good reason for there's no good reason I mean there's an epidemic oh yeah there's a hundred thousand people in this country in the year yeah update there you go that died in the Senate oh no I support from Greg Oh, no, the legislation comes after a bill to decriminalize texture
Starting point is 01:02:47 So Texas and Congress lead bipartisan efforts to allow fentanyl test strips the legislation comes after But died in the Senate despite support So whatever I put up before we just want to pass to the house, I guess so they're trying to Bring it back who the fuck is opposing that isn't that crazy who the fuck would oppose fentanyl test trip I want to know yeah name their names it's that's a crazy inexcusable yeah it's a crazy thing to oppose kids like that doesn't make any sense
Starting point is 01:03:31 Because if we can figure out who that is and where that where they're getting their money from then we can start to solve a lot of problems here Because that's an actual Serious problem. They wanted to make cove it a big deal. Imagine getting their money from the cartel Right, I mean, I mean maybe I mean, who could it be? Who could it be? Who the fuck would want you to not have a federal test? It doesn't say they voted against it.
Starting point is 01:03:51 It says it died, which is like, they just didn't vote on it. But the Senate declined to take action in the regular session. Oh, okay. It just never got voted on. That's quite the same thing, though. They're avoiding it maybe on purpose, or someone doesn't want to vote on it. And you know, way, this is like, you know, some people look at it like oh
Starting point is 01:04:09 Well, those people are doing cocaine anyway or whatever So maybe that's not the you know, it's not we're not losing the best people but it could be anybody doing anything It could be somebody trying to do, you know fucking Molly or I don't know any more fun like an actual like goofy psychedelic drug or something like that could be in any type of pill I wonder if the the logic behind not wanting it to be legal or sticking your neck out and saying that it should be legal is that people want to then attach you to promoting drug use and then you would possibly like have an opponent that could turn it
Starting point is 01:04:48 against you and say my opponent promotes drug use you know you could have that kind of a deal happen yeah but there's a problem but that's that's that was the gay marriage thing that was a lot of things there was a lot of things that people wanted to pretend that they were against. I mean, until I think 2013, Hillary Clinton was saying that marriage should be between a man and a woman. Barack Obama said that. They don't say that because they believe it. His opinions changed that much as a grown man.
Starting point is 01:05:17 Like, what, did you do mushrooms? What did you do? Did you smoke DMT? Like, what did you do? Tell me what you did. Where now you have this is complete change of heart Anything is just be two people who are grown adults who love each other They should be able to get married like what what happened you tell me right?
Starting point is 01:05:34 Because or you foolish yet right one of these things is going on either. You're doing this political thing which is like god It's so gross when they just they just calculated with what they say just so they could win like, ooh. Yeah. They realize the gays can vote. So also they realize that public support for gay marriage was way higher because the stigma of being gay all sort of, you know, and not that long ago. It was way more stigmatized. Like so many people were in the closet in Hollywood, you know, because they kind of had to be. And into this day, the one open kind of homophobia
Starting point is 01:06:14 you have in Hollywood is that gay men never play straight men in movies if they're out. They never play like the leading romantic interest in a movie if everyone knows they're gay That's why I'm not in any movies But also making gay marriage legal didn't cost them vast sums of money I bet if we did an online poll Where every American had to vote and had to log in? And you pulled them. Do you think we should be giving money to foreign wars?
Starting point is 01:06:49 I can't imagine the number being lower than 90% for no. Yeah, I think I saw a recent Twitter poll where they try to do that. The majority of people was like no. Yeah. I mean, if we forced people to vote on an actual issue. Well it's also, you have so many people that are hawkish and they think that you know we can break Russia or that we need to support Israel or you know whatever their position is you know where they're real hawkish on and they have a limited amount of information
Starting point is 01:07:21 about it when you talk to them. So many people when you talk to them about it, you're like well well, why do you think that we need to keep sending money to Ukraine? Is it working? Like, are these people being used as cannon fodder? Or are they gaining ground? Like, you tell me what you think. Well, you know, I mean, I just think what Putin did was like, do you support a guy like storming into a country and taking over? I'm like no I definitely don't. I definitely didn't support that. But that doesn't mean that you should spend hundreds of billions of dollars to prolong what seems like some horrible bloody conflict that just... how are they gonna win? Are they gonna take over Russia? Like how are they gonna win? They gonna kick Russia out? Russia's gonna quit? They're never gonna
Starting point is 01:08:02 do it again? NATO can move in everything's gonna be fine Are you sure? Are you sure nuclear weapons aren't on the table? Are you fucking positive is it good that China and Russia have cuddled up together now and they're all buddy buddy and They're fucking shaking hands and smiling taking pictures. Like is that good? That seems not good It seems not good if the whole fucking world is against us Like that seems really bad and if they make our medicine, right? And what is the fucking what solution could Trump possibly do like when he says he could stop it?
Starting point is 01:08:35 Like how do you stop it? How do you stop it? I think Trump just puts the fear of God into these people a little bit I think he puts the fear of The guys not gonna play by the rules. Right. They read our news. If they glance at our news, it looks like we have a crazy president. So they're like, oh, let's wait a bit. That's, I honestly feel that way. I think that they think by glancing at our weird propaganda that we have, that we're being fed, they're like, this guy's kind of crazy according to them. So, uh Let's wait. I mean, why did Putin wait? Why did Putin wait to invade Ukraine until?
Starting point is 01:09:12 Well, poopy pants Jenkins was president. I would if I was gonna do anything I'd do it right now Yeah, just seems like everything's so chaotic. Absolutely. We got no border or given money to fucking whoever wants it We're already rich countries We got men who are the first female Admiral. Oh My god, we have so much chaos chaos. It's so kooky. Yeah, it's just so kooky And it's crazy. It's kooky and it it seems like they're just leaning into it Like there's no course correction at all just leaning into the kooky. Yeah Fun times. Oh, yeah for comedy. Oh my goodness
Starting point is 01:09:47 We have so much stuff to talk about stuff that you would have to manufacture Something that bizarre that people are accepting in any other time in history It's it's so weird so weird It really is like the whole country's hypnotized. And I just think this is a perfect storm of things that are happening all at the same time. With AI emerging, China and Russia becoming buddies, us being run by a dead man, they're
Starting point is 01:10:18 trying to stop this other guy from even running. And they're exposing how corrupt the democracy is. They're exposing how corrupt the democracy is. They're exposing how corrupt the system is. Just by charging this guy with 34 felonies for paying off a lady he had sex with, like what? And how else would he have paid her money to whatever? Well, it was the way it was written, the way it was put in a ledger.
Starting point is 01:10:45 It's basically, on most situations, it would have been considered a misdemeanor. But they turned it into a felony, they trumped it up, and they trumped it up, no pun intended. And then he signed like 34 different checks, so there's 34 different... The whole thing's crazy. First of all, what a cheap fuck. I'll pay her installments. Yeah. Don't give her all the money. The whole thing's crazy first of all what a cheap fuck I'll pair on installments. Hey, yeah Don't give her all the money
Starting point is 01:11:08 Give her a little taste Keep her on the hook. Yeah That actually makes sense I guess now that I think about it Because if you pay her all at once she could just write a book or whatever No, the whole deal was that she couldn't talk if she got the money, but obviously that didn't work out She got the money and still talked If you have the backing of the political party, it doesn't matter Like especially the party that's in charge
Starting point is 01:11:35 The but what's scary is how many Democrats are willing to allow this kind of stuff to happen But a lot of them are aware of it. There was this one lady that went viral And she was talking about it and she's saying you have to understand like I'm not a Trump supporter stuff to happen. But a lot of them are aware of it. There was this one lady that went viral and she was talking about it and she was saying, you have to understand, like, I'm not a Trump supporter, I don't like Trump, but this is really dangerous for democracy. Nobody can justify this and nobody could say this guy should be in jail for this. It just doesn't make any sense. And especially if you wanted to look at past presidents with the same scrutiny. I mean, there's so many instances of things that you could go.
Starting point is 01:12:08 And this was one of the things that Obama had said when Obama got into office. They were talking about George Bush and Dick Cheney being charged with war crimes. And he was saying, we're not going to look to the past, we're going to look towards the future. You know, like, we're not going to prosecute anybody. Imagine if when Obama got into office, if he decided to prosecute Dick Cheney and George Bush for crimes against humanity. Yeah, crazy. Oh my God.
Starting point is 01:12:33 Do you know how crazy that would be? Do you know how divided the country would be then? Well, that's the same thing kind of that is taking place now at a lesser scale, obviously, because it's not a war crime you're charging someone with but you could you could charge Trump with war crimes you could find some things that he did especially with bombings and you know and even what the what Obama did Obama during the administration they dropped a drone on a US citizen no trial no nothing boom yeah Trump didn't even go for he didn't go for Obama. He didn't go for Hillary, you know, and he could have he could have tried them For things. Yeah, well, especially Hillary. Yeah, especially with the whole email thing the deleting of the emails and supposedly Trump's the crazy one
Starting point is 01:13:17 Trump's the loose cannon. They're all crazy. That's what they don't want you to know It's like sluts that are always talking bad about all the girls for sluts That's what they don't want you to know. It's like sluts that are always talking bad about other girls for sluts Like You know, it's what people do. It's it's a thing that you know people that's not me. I'm not like that It's just a weird thing that people do and people form teams and they justify why they should use any means necessary to silence the other people on the other team the opposition and use any means necessary to silence the other people on the other team, the opposition, and they don't even realize they're setting a precedent knowing this motherfucker gets an office or another motherfucker gets an office that's a Republican.
Starting point is 01:13:52 You've got real problems now kids. If the elections are real, that's how it usually goes. Usually goes one side wins and like this fucking sucks. Let's try the other way. The other guy wins like, oh, this is bullshit. Let's try the other way. And this is what we've done in this country over and over and over again.
Starting point is 01:14:08 We go Clinton to Bush, Bush to Obama. It's what we do. It's what we do. We always do it this way. And if you change the way people are allowed to go after political candidates, and you change the way you're allowed to silence and imprison your candidates, then we're like
Starting point is 01:14:27 Mexico. We're just not assassinating people yet. You know, we're like a third world country. We're like a banana republic. We're letting things other than the will of the people and what's best for the people be what's running the thing. We're letting the thing be run by the people that are in power, that are corrupt, that want to keep the power. Because it's not just Biden. Biden is barely there. Right. It's all the people that are working there.
Starting point is 01:14:53 You got to understand, he's in this huge team behind them. They don't want to leave. What? Get on LinkedIn, get on LinkedIn and fucking try to get a new job. Start sending out your resume. I work for the worst administration ever right I was one of the people you know I mean the one thing you can do is get a job as like a political person unlike TV you'll get one of those jobs like if you're a White House press secretary you know and there's like Huckabee isn't she like a governor now. Yeah, I think Arkansas or something
Starting point is 01:15:25 That's a good one to start with Want to run the world start with Arkansas? Yeah I was talking to Tulsi Gabbard the other night and I went off on a rant to her about Mental health asylums Mmm, I'm like that is These people are everywhere on the streets now.
Starting point is 01:15:47 It's crazy people. It's not a great thing to have them out. It's not good for them, and it's not good for everyone else. There used to be actual places, and the money that it would cost, that's a cost that people would get behind. Yeah The things that we would pay for instead of the things that we are paying for insane I think that happened during the Reagan administration. I think they changed
Starting point is 01:16:15 Like what it means to be a mentally ill person. They let a bunch of people out Is that true? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was during the rate, you know Reagan was one of those Republicans that made people want to be a Democrat. Oh, you know who I heard actually was behind it? It was JFK, because he didn't like what happened to his sister.
Starting point is 01:16:34 How so? They gave his sister the lobotomy. Oh. Yeah. And he turned against mental health institutions. I can't remember if it was- They gave his sister a lobotomy? Oh yeah, a bad one. Oh my god.
Starting point is 01:16:48 Oh, it's like one of the big Kennedy secrets. You know, they stopped doing that in like the late 60s. They did it for a long time. I had an Instagram post about it. Because I went down a rabbit hole one night. I was like, what? Like, they just scrambled people's brains and there was all these ads Like smiley people afterwards happy people afterwards just scramble your fucking brain with an iron rod that they push through your eyeball
Starting point is 01:17:16 the eldest Kennedy daughter Wow Wow Wow. Special Olympics. Wow. Yeah, man. Dude, brains are just like everything else. They're just like some people have bad livers.
Starting point is 01:17:34 In their search for cures, okay, November 1941, Mr. Kennedy arranged to have a lobotomy performed on Rosemary. It was immediately clear that the operation had drastically failed. Rosemary had lost most of her ability to walk or talk. Her personality had been forever altered and she was left physically disabled. After being released from the hospital, Rosemary was immediately institutionalized. There's a story I've read about the doctor. There's like one doctor who was doing a lot of the lobotomies. He was traveling around to all these islands. Yeah doing yeah I read about that guy. He loved it
Starting point is 01:18:08 He loves scrambling brains. I mean what a fucking like let's remember when you used to whack the TV to get the signal to Come in People don't know like we would be watching TV. You'd be watching like a baseball game and go You know what the fuck you smack the TV and come back in yeah You got it like that's how bad electronics were back then you would smack the TV and sometimes it would fix it like sometimes It was like going up. It was just like blip blip the screen would go up, and you just whack the side of it It would stay still It would remember remember those days. Yeah, yeah, that was that was their version of fixing brains
Starting point is 01:18:43 Remember those days? Yeah. Yeah, that was their version of fixing brains That was just like whackin a TV. They just like let's just scramble his brains. Yeah, and they're going through your eyeball. Oh That's what they go through they pull your eyeball side Yeah, they pull your eyeball side. Excuse me out of the way I guess shove a metal rod in there and just did get in the brain they get in your frontal lobe and just go like this No, yeah God, you know bro imagine think that's a good idea I know how to fix it everybody what was like the most successful lobotomy did anybody get a lobotomy and like wow that one fucking worked like is Google Google what's the most successful lobotomy?
Starting point is 01:19:32 Yeah, somebody came out the most amazing guy No way no way But that's me one like best-case scenario like this might work like one guy Maybe they only scrambled him a little you know like Roseanne got hit by a car became a great comedian Kinnison hit by a car became a great comedian like there's a little bit of brain damage not bad for you little bit Yeah, just a just a touch just a thud. Oh, yeah, just a little bit. Everybody needs a little bit a little bit Yeah, just a little bit. Yeah, I Had so many wrestling in high school the last person who had one died
Starting point is 01:20:08 That's when they like enough. Yeah, I barely missed that I was born in 57. I got lobotomized psychotic medication That's what 57 with the wrong parents 100% they would like scramble his brains Yeah, one and or if I was born with the wrong wrong parents they would have put me on Prozac for sure For sure they would have put me on some sort of ADHD medicine They reported 63% of their patients had improved while 24% saw no change and 14% became worse That guy looks pretty good afterwards
Starting point is 01:20:48 The beginning looks like he's like taking a horrible shit like oh god And the afterwards like I get it now. That's what they're just like they were agitated before and then afterwards they were smiling Yeah, so some it worked, but it seems like a very crude idea Maybe you know now that oh that one's a weird one now when they cut the top of that dude's head off Whoo, that was a rough one. Oh Jesus Christ are going through the nose on that that guy's wearing a muscle It's right. Oh Christ. I hope she's out cold. Why don't those guys have sleeves? Yeah, they probably look what the way everyone's holding her hand
Starting point is 01:21:25 She might not have beaten out They probably barely put people out back then yeah, they're fucking crazy Oh don't make me watch videos of it Pre frontal lobotomy psychological cinema prefrontal lobotomy and chronic schizophrenia from the psychiatric department. Oh, 25. So this is the lady female age 25 can you set state hospital patient for four years failure to improve after several courses of both insulin and convulsive shock while the shock therapy back then showing antagonistic hostility reaction in
Starting point is 01:22:02 seclusion quarters prior to bilateral prefrontal lobotomy bilateral bilateral prefrontal lobotomy like this bitch is so crazy we're gonna give her a double dose. She seems like someone in the audience at kill Tony like a regular. Yeah she's not bad. Two months post operative now friendly and cooperative entering into occupational and recreational activities. Let's see what she looks like now. Oh, the other people. Oh, there she is now. Now she's all laughing. She's your fucking brain scrambled. Now her hair is all fucked up.
Starting point is 01:22:38 That your brain can be scrambled and you can still function like that seems to well you barely function. But that's the thing like people have been shot in the head and they lose like half their head and they still talk Right. There's a lot of weird stuff that happens to people with their brain your brain When one part of your brain gets damaged the other part of your brain seems to have an ability to recover There's this one guy see if you can find this story this one guy Developed fluid in his brain when he was young and they drained it. So they installed some sort of a thing that drained the fluid from his brain. And once they did that, as he got older, he got another MRI and they realized his brain was missing.
Starting point is 01:23:19 He only had the outside area of the brain and he had like a 75 IQ but he was fully functioning with the entire center of his brain gone. You see the MRI, you're like what in the fuck? The guy has no brain. You know, like oh that fucking guy has no brain. That's him. He actually has no brain. You got to leave him alone.
Starting point is 01:23:40 It's not his fault. It's literally gone. So he develops some sort of fluid and they put something in there, I forget where it drained to. But then over time, you know, his symptoms went away, but his brain went away too. Like whatever that fluid was in his brain, it was like took over the whole brain. Oh, God. See if you can find that. It's called hydrocephalus when there's brain too much cerebral fluid cerebral spinal fluid excess cerebral spinal fluid Yeah, this dude. I know it's not coming up had no brain and they were talking about how Different parts of your brain just make up for what's missing that your brain sort of figures it out and says, okay
Starting point is 01:24:22 You know what else they found? playing 3D video games increases gray matter in your brain. It's like a recent study. That's a good thing? Yes. Yeah. It increases your three dimensional video games. Actually increase some gray matter in your brain in some way.
Starting point is 01:24:43 And they're not saying, like, people aren't incurring. See so the thing about video games is people always want to say don't do it you're wasting your life if you do I say it you're wasting your life if you do video games however they're awesome yeah they're awesome are you really wasting your life or are you doing something fucking awesome you're wasting your life if you do it only right but if you want to do it good you got to do it a lot yeah if you want to really fucking murder people you got to do it a lot. If you want to really fucking murder people in call of duty, you got to be on that bitch every day. You got to get the moves down. You got to figure out how to aim. That's the guy.
Starting point is 01:25:12 Scientist research man missing 90% of his brain who leads a normal life. Yeah, that's the dude. 44 year old French man start experiencing weakness in his legs. He went to the hospital and the doctors told him he was missing most of his brain The man's skull was full of fluid with just a thin layer of brain tissue left The condition is known as hydrocephalus He was living a normal life He has a family works IQ was tested at the time. Complaint came by 84. 84 was slightly below normal range. This person is not bright, but perfectly socially apt.
Starting point is 01:25:51 Clearman is a cognitive psychologist, University of Libre in Brussels. When he learned about the case, which first described in the Lancet in 2007, he saw a medical miracle, but also a major challenge to theories about consciousness This dude is missing 90% of his fucking that the guy Get that guy on kill Tony now. Yeah Imagine if you wrote for him Oh me how many this guy's actually you put a photo of his brain up on the screen And explain that this guy's literally up here with no brain Going back to the brain damage making people funny thing. We have a new
Starting point is 01:26:30 regular as Of yesterday and it was only his second night ever on the show Drew Nickens who was bullied by his own military Partners military Partners And I don't know what they did to him something head trauma wise that he didn't really want to get into But he's so fucking funny like he's just naturally the most likable funniest fucking was he funny before the head injury I don't know. That's a good question. Does he know Like how how aware is he when you're talking to him very so he's all there you talk to him Yeah, but he has brain damage. Yeah, you know how many people I know with brain damage. Oh, yeah
Starting point is 01:27:11 you are the you are the The beekeeper of people with brain damage. I know a lot of people with various stages of brain damage You know stages of brain damage you know rather than 90% of this man's brain being missing it's more likely that it's simply been compressed into the thin layer that you can see in the images above compressed so the brain has different density I mean if it's like jello. Can you make your brain like you can make your quads fucking dense? You know some people have mushy quads, some people have quads they can fucking jump on top of a huge box. Maybe you can make your brain like that. Super connective.
Starting point is 01:27:58 Maybe video games is the way you do it. Find that study. Because that's crazy. Speaking of brain damage, did you see the UFC put out a clip of Sugar Sean landing that knee on Cheeto Vera without any commentary? Bro, Cheeto Vera has a chin that's made out of like Wolverine bones. Oh my God. His chin is insane. It sounds like somebody hitting a wooden baseball bat
Starting point is 01:28:22 against another wooden baseball bat. Not only that, his head snaps back. All the way back. I mean, it's, by the way, it might be the most perfectly timed knee I've ever seen. Here it is. Bro, Sugar Sean is a fucking assassin. Oh, bro. That cat is an assassin. Sitting next to him the whole time before that roast, because that thing went on for
Starting point is 01:28:52 two hours before I got up there, and there's nobody I would have rather have sat next to. Right, a guy who's calm under pressure. Exactly. Yeah. Exactly. And he turned to me at one point and goes, "'Dude, I don't know what it is.' It's like 20 minutes before our thing,
Starting point is 01:29:09 Ron Burgundy was up just up there killing and we were like all kids laughing for a second. And he goes, "'Dude, I don't know what's going on, man, but I'm nervous as fuck and it's you going up there.' He goes, "'Are you nervous?' And I'm such a cornball, I told him how I really felt and I go,
Starting point is 01:29:26 I'm probably exactly how you were right before the Cheeto fight right now. Like all the work I've ever done has come to this point. And he goes, calm. I go calm. Calm. If you've done the work. If you haven't done the work, it's anxiety.
Starting point is 01:29:41 Oh yeah. It's a rotten fear. Like you gotta really do the work if you're gonna do something big. Whatever it is. And I've done that before where I did the work and it feels so much different because I've also done it where I kinda fucked off
Starting point is 01:29:54 and then you're like, ooh, I didn't do my best. The live aspect made it crazy. I mean, I'm looking at the three stairs that I had to go up. I'm like, I keep glancing at them. And they're at an angle, you know, and they're not like that well-lit, and they're kind of long and not that tall,
Starting point is 01:30:11 so I knew I had to like, look, I had to study them. The little things like that. Did you see what Andrew Schultz was saying about Kim Kardashian? That she was like completely disconnected. That she just sat up there like this. She sat straight the entire time. Like it was completely unaffected and completely disconnected. That she just sat up there like this. She sat straight the entire time. Like it was completely unaffected
Starting point is 01:30:27 and completely disconnected. Even when she was getting shit on. She kinda giggled along. I was watching her. Performative or real? I think, I think kinda real. The whole thing was very robotic. She brought like four sixes with her,
Starting point is 01:30:43 which I thought was hilarious. Cause like even at that level, even a super hot chick. You don't want to bring up some other super hot chicks. Exactly. So she was just at a table of sixes, just this 10 with sixes. There you go.
Starting point is 01:30:56 Like a good poker hand, four sixes and a 10. Have you ever watched her show? No, not really my wife watches it in the gym sometimes she gets in the gym before me I have to watch this shit uh-huh it's amazing that it's a show it's basically like let's go get some gum I went to this thing and I had a talk you should fill your dreams and go for it okay and then back in the limo shiny LA It's all like smash cuts to different scenes
Starting point is 01:31:29 Like the scenery of LA is kind of like half of the show It's like, you know, like overhead views the palm trees the beach, you know, and then they're like, what are we doing for dinner? But they look pretty yeah Yeah. They look pretty. Yeah, Ozempic's doing them all good. You think that's what it is? Oh yeah. Everybody's on it now. Everybody that can be on it's on it.
Starting point is 01:31:53 Brian Simpson had a real bad reaction to it. Yeah. Well, Brian Simpson's made of bread. You can't just inject Ozempic into bread and then expect the bread to just disappear. He was the one guy that did the carnivore diet with us and just like, I don't know, a little. You can't just inject Ozempic into bread and then expect the bread to just disappear He was the one guy that did the carnivore diet with us and just like I'm a little suspicious
Starting point is 01:32:11 Oh yeah, sneaky sneaky little devil. We were busting his balls all the time. He'd have food delivered Come out He'd have food deliveries come up to the green room and he'd be like god damn it they put bread on this sandwich Me and Derek and a son though the looks that we would give each other the fucking holding in secret fucking laughs Nuclear capacity fucking laughter all the time They're like why'd you order it with the bread? He's like because if you don't order it with the bread they don't put all the time. They're like, why'd you order it with the bread? He's like, cause if you don't order it with the bread, they don't put all the things on there. There's no containment system,
Starting point is 01:32:47 so I order it with the bread and take off the bread. Sure. Oh yeah. He's just. Take that bread with you and eat it later. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh man.
Starting point is 01:32:58 It's part of the fun of Brian Simpson though. You know? And he gets these super breaded chicken wings. Oh, it's so fun. I don't know what it is with me and fat jokes. I just, I've always just, I just can't get enough of it. I just love it. It's always been my number one, like roasting specialty.
Starting point is 01:33:16 If anybody's ever big, oh my God, it's just, I don't know. Oh, with David Lucas, you have a never ending supply. Oh yeah. Depending upon what he's wearing. Yeah. It's amazing. Depending upon what he's wearing. Oh. Yeah. It's amazing. Post Malone got him good.
Starting point is 01:33:28 Cause he went after Post Malone at the forum in the arena and he was wearing a camo shirt and Post just fucking grabbed that microphone, put it right up to his mouth and goes, you're the only guy in camo that the people all the way in the back of the arena can see. You got a standing O on David Lucas. David Lucas got lit up in LA by the gas,
Starting point is 01:33:53 which I love, because it's like fun for me to step back and get to like, you know, kind of root for these guys. Harland is a monster. Harland is so silly. This is a, this snake on the table This is his his tapeworm that he pulled out of his pants at the end of the episode He calls it Demetri Said he had a tapeworm. He got a tapeworm. Where do you see was?
Starting point is 01:34:23 He ate a rat somewhere. Oh Pichu something I didn't exist it and it did exist. Yeah, he ate some rat and like some foreign country Oh, he is unbelievable him and David went back and forth for like 10 minutes. It felt like straight and every single blow. I told Jeff Ross and Brian Moses, all the roast battle guys after that night because there was a festival going on so we were all hanging out after we would all do
Starting point is 01:34:54 our separate things that night. I told them all, I go, the best roast battle that's ever happened just happened and it wasn't with you guys, it was on Kill Tony. They're like, what, who? David Lucas versus Harland Williams of all people. Because Harland's silliness cannot be cut through. It makes him immediately totally undodgeable.
Starting point is 01:35:16 If you call him old, he calls you a bitch. If you call him anything, he just rolls with it and jujitsu's it into his own retort. That it's indescribable. I wish I could remember more of the moments. But he's like, David's just reaching for anything. One part was just, you old ass bitch, because David's just getting beat,
Starting point is 01:35:35 so he's getting piled on. So he's not even writing at this point. His brain is just on the defensive. He goes, you old ass bitch, because he knows Harlan just got him, and Harlan without any hesitation goes, you old ass bitch, because he knows Harlan just got him, and Harlan without any hesitation goes, you're my bitch tonight, and so for every punch, there's a counter punch.
Starting point is 01:35:51 And it was magic, magic, unbelievable in the moment, you can't prep for it, you cannot write for it, or else it comes out clunky and you're trying to recall, and that pause, that hesitation that happens in roast battle that doesn't necessarily happen in a parking lot roast battle or on a Kiltoni with David and Harlan, just heavyweights going back and forth. Those recalls aren't there, it's just flow state.
Starting point is 01:36:17 Yeah. And it's magical. When he said that Post Malone looks like an unemployed crocodile hunter. Ha, it's just like the perfect line. The perfect line. I'm telling you, you guys, I've been saying this forever, but you really need to do it. The two of you should do a show together.
Starting point is 01:36:37 You really should. There's no reason why you don't. You guys should do a podcast, even if you do it once a week for an hour, you guys both talking shit to each other and talking shit about things. Because the chemistry of the two of you together is so unique. And it brings out the best in David. It brings out the David that I want to see when he goes on stage.
Starting point is 01:36:55 I want to see the same guy that is like in the heat of roast battle or heat of battling with you on Kill Tony. Bring that everywhere. Yeah, that same energy. We're working on some really fun things now actually. What are you working on? There's a series that is actually in development right now that's cool, but I'm really excited about this movie idea
Starting point is 01:37:16 that he just had a big meeting about where I'm a principal and he's a fat gym teacher and there's a bunch of like they, thems at the school and then there's a school shooting and we have to protect the they, thems and all this stuff and there's just all these vessels and setups for everything. We can just do everything that we've ever done
Starting point is 01:37:37 but actually like implement it into a modern type of ridiculous comedy. So if you did that, where would you do it? Like who would you do it with? Where? Yeah, like you wanna have the most amount of creative control over something like that. Right.
Starting point is 01:37:53 If you're gonna do it, and it's gonna be hard. Yeah. It's gonna be hard. It's gonna be, maybe Netflix would do it. Yeah. Netflix would probably be the best place to do it. They'll probably take the most chances exactly especially after the roast about the Tom Yeah, Brady roast which was the most watched thing on Netflix ever yeah ever and it's wild comedy
Starting point is 01:38:15 Which is so good for comedy man that roast was so good for comedy huge absolutely huge and It was just it's just wild because everybody wants that. And talk about, you know, there was a lot of rewatching of that. People watched it and then they went and wanted to show their uncles or their dads or their whatever.
Starting point is 01:38:39 You know, they wanted to see their reactions to it. So it's being watched multiple times on top of the actual numbers that we know. Right. You know? Yeah. It's, you know, you can't share Netflix stuff like we were talking about earlier with YouTube,
Starting point is 01:38:55 but you can rewatch it with people. How many people have Netflix accounts? Like how many Netflix accounts are there? I think it's like a... Let's Google it. Take a guess. How many think? World there? I think it's like a let's Google it take a guess How many think worldwide it's got to be like Hundreds I think it's 200 million about worldwide. Yeah, let's find out 269 million subscribers and how much does it cost a month?
Starting point is 01:39:23 It depends there's a couple different. What's the high end? 19 now I think. 20 bucks and what's the low end? Supported ad supported for 2.99. Oh really? That's not a bad deal. Let me see. Because you could just skip the ads. You only watch for a couple seconds. Use them to pee. There's ad supported. There's standard with ads, standard and premium. Standard with ads is $6.99, standard is $15.99. What's the difference between standard and premium? The, let's see, the number of devices you can watch at one time.
Starting point is 01:40:00 Oh. Ultra HD is available on premium, and full HD is only on standard. You can download to a different number of devices with premium. Okay. And you can add an extra member who does not live with you. The download is big if you're on a plane. You need the download. Huge. I've never been on a plane that you can watch a movie on. Right. Never. Sometimes they have good Wi-Fi and you can actually almost watch a YouTube video, which is every now and then it spins and it comes back on, but most of
Starting point is 01:40:30 the time not. They're not really ready for that yet. I wonder if that'll change with Starlink. I wonder if they'll hook up Starlink to planes. Dude, we saw Starlink the other night. Have you seen it go over? I have not. Like in the sky? I have not. Oh, it's the craziest fucking thing. People think it's a UFO. It's insane It's like a bunch of stars Well, like they get it in the Amazon now
Starting point is 01:40:52 But there was an article that I sent to oh here we go I promote Amazon tribe connects to Elon Musk darling internet becomes hooked on porn and social media Yeah, I was I shared this with Paul Rosalie So there's a bunch of people that are like very concerned about this because they're seeing their kids like staring at phones now. And they're also seeing kids that want to leave the tribe and go out into the regular world. When it arrived, everyone was happy. Well, say that name. Sainama Maruba, Sainama Maruba, 73, told the New York Times, but now things have gotten worse.
Starting point is 01:41:26 Young people have gotten lazy because of the internet, she explained. They're learning the ways of the white people. Wow, that's crazy. They just call us lazy, dude? Yes. The white people. Well, you know, there's a lot of us that are lazy.
Starting point is 01:41:41 What does it say? Remote tribe in Brazil become bitterly divided nine months after getting access to satellite internet. Wow. 2,000 people. I guess it's here, like in the middle. Wow. Right below Peru.
Starting point is 01:41:57 Yeah. I want to know what kind of porn they're watching. Everything. Yeah. You probably can watching. Everything. Yeah. You probably can't believe it. Yeah. These white ladies, fake lips, just sucking dicks. Initially, the internet was heralded as a positive for the remote tribe who were able
Starting point is 01:42:13 to quickly contact authorities for help with emergencies including potentially deadly snake bites. It's already saved lives. And Roque Maruba, all Maruba use the same last name. Oh wow, they're all like the same people. How do you know if you're having sex with your cousin then? They have the same last name. But they're all, they all have the same last name.
Starting point is 01:42:34 The whole thing has the same last name. There's 2,000 people. The odd, like, you know that North Sentinel Island, like the story about that guy who was the missionary who went there and got killed? There's only 39 people there. So they're all related to each other damn so at this point they might not even be able to go help those people like imagine if you just stepped in say hey we're gonna establish schools and clinics and like who knows what's going on with them 60,000 years of people living on one island
Starting point is 01:43:07 and there's only 39 of them left. And you can't go there, they'll kill you. They'll fucking kill you the moment you get off your boat. They tried to kill a bunch of people. There was a bunch of people that had abandoned a boat that ran ashore. They got rescued and as they were getting rescued, the North Sentinel people were headed on boats to them Imagine if they're like mentally challenged right we don't know we really don't know no one's interviewing them Like what are they like if you know have you ever seen that? Show soft white underbelly. No, it's a great show on YouTube I had the guy on who was the host of it and
Starting point is 01:43:50 One of the things that he's done is document this family in West Virginia. That's like severely inbred Severely like the the man the older man all he does is bark He doesn't talk he just barks every see you got you have to see this you have to see this I think we'll have to edit it out, right? Well, I don't know we'll see if we get caught if we get a strike but go to visit soft white underbelly on YouTube It's not just that he interviews all kinds of crazy people from all walks of life it's a very interesting show so these people are the Whitakers in West Virginia
Starting point is 01:44:31 Oh odd I'm gonna love this oh yeah listen listen to this though listen that's the guy they're all in bread. Look, all of them. Look at her. So what are your names? Ray, Loray, Timmy. I'm sorry, what's his name? His name's Ray. Ray? I remember Ray. I photographed you Ray, do you remember? Years ago. He barks.
Starting point is 01:45:04 And your name is? Lorraine. Lorraine? And Timmy. Yeah. Now you guys grew up here in, in, in odd West Virginia. How many years have you lived here? All my life.
Starting point is 01:45:20 You're, you're, uh, you guys, I mean, did you go to school? You did? Some of your brothers and sisters probably didn't go to school or how much schooling did they get? They didn't wish to go home, but they graduated. You graduated from what? I went to high school.
Starting point is 01:45:43 You went to high school, Timmy? Yeah, he went to high school Timmy yeah that's good enough Wow whoa he's been there twice he he's visited them twice the show's incredible oh yeah I mean and this guy, like, just imagine encountering these people. What do you do? Oh, shit. Yeah. That's the photographs he took of them like a long time ago.
Starting point is 01:46:11 Man, do not run out of gas around there. Oh, dude, you're fucked. You're fucked. There's some parts of this country, you know, that are literally like the movie Deliverance. That's real. Like, you go through the Appalachians. You take a wrong turn Run out of gas start walking for help gets dark out
Starting point is 01:46:32 Are you literally see a flaming cross? You stumble upon a KKK meeting Maybe you got a Spanish last name So you got to throw your driver's license in the woods? In the middle too. Like right... Oh boy. Right next to a bar in West Virginia. Oh my god, dude. There ain't shit out there.
Starting point is 01:46:52 Oh my god. There's a Baptist church down the street. Oh, of course there is. There's another church. Another Baptist church. That's all it shows up. It's all just churches. People just... Listen man, if you live in a place like that, church is the best fucking thing going. You know? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:47:08 I think church for a lot of people is like the green room for us. It's a place you go to see the community, recharge, you love everybody. And then you decide you're going to be a good person. You know? Yeah. You're going to try to do your best. You're going to try to make a bunch of people laugh. You're going to try to do your best. You're gonna try to make a bunch of people laugh.
Starting point is 01:47:25 You're gonna try to become a good Christian. Yeah. I was rewatching There Will Be Blood recently. Those church scenes, I mean, fucking unbelievable. That movie's insane. Oh, it's so good. That's all Bakersfield. That's all that area, the Tatchapies.
Starting point is 01:47:41 Yeah, they were filming that when they were filming No Country for Old Men. Really exact same time and no country for old men had to stop shooting one day because the black smoke from there will be blood was messing up their background wow isn't that crazy that's great two of the last great non Tarantino movies yeah and they were filmed at the same time came out at the same time up for the same awards bangers bangers Did one of them not win movie of the year because that's crazy. Well one of them had to not win It's weird that they know but it's not against each other. I know yeah, I
Starting point is 01:48:16 Don't like the Academy excuse me. I don't like the Academy Awards, right? No, me neither doesn't I don't like awards for art. Right, no, me neither. It doesn't make sense. I don't like awards for art. I think it distorts the whole thing. I mean, on one hand, it gives the films a lot of recognition and it helps people do other cool projects and it helps more great movies get made. And you get to showcase great actors and they get rewarded so people wanna become a great actor
Starting point is 01:48:43 so they can get an award. But at the end of the day, man, like the number one, and the number one movie is like, why? Why? Yeah. So just say what you love, why you loved it, what's great about it. Is the way we, but unless we have a,
Starting point is 01:49:00 we're so competitive, we want a contest. Totally. And it doesn't make sense, cause it's like, oh, Forrest Gump's an Academy Award winning movie and Pulp Fiction and Shawshank Redemption are not. Only because they coincidentally came out in the same year. If it went 92, 93, 94, they would all be winners without a doubt. Maybe. There's a lot of bangers in the early 90s.
Starting point is 01:49:26 Yeah, that's true. 92 had good fellas too. You could get away with a lot more back then. You could do more stuff. Well, I mean, they were fucking creative. They weren't scared. Yeah. The network notes kill things nowadays.
Starting point is 01:49:38 Well, it's not just the network notes. It's like all the executives and all the people behind the scenes, they're all like captured by this ideology. And they're real careful about how they do things and what they do. It's like they get really scared. The executives fuck it up. I have someone that told me that Many Saints of Newark from David Chase was supposed to be quite different.
Starting point is 01:50:06 I'm sure. And it came from the top and notes for David Chase who is a monster. I mean, I still, I probably brought this up here before, but I still to this day, and I laughed about it to myself just a couple nights ago, there I am, glancing through, I blasted through the new season of the jinx which is fucking unbelievable on HBO One of my favorite murder documentaries ever the crazy-ass Robert Durst and then there I am just yep nothing here
Starting point is 01:50:36 We go rewatching the Sopranos for the 5,000th time and it's every fucking time better than the last It's unbelievable There's so many things that I still am like oh my god. I never noticed that Well, it's also one of those shows that you know so many things happen. You can go back and watch it again And the acting is absolutely insane Gandolfini and his prime line Braco in our prime Edie Falco is steals it somehow the mom steals it There's times where she can put any Falco's not the mom. She's she's sopranos wife. Yeah, that's yeah No, that's what I'm talking about. I did mom. Yeah mom died and they replaced her with CGI and it looked really fake
Starting point is 01:51:19 Yeah, that part's crazy. I that's the episode that I watched the other night I was just going to Leon did that season 3 episode 1 or 2 I think they should redo that like they read it Star Wars Yeah, you know you know how they read it like Yoda. They made Yoda CGI. Yes, they fucked it up Yeah, they should do that with the mom. It wasn't that bad. It was bad Look, it's not that terrible fake It just looks fake compared to them There was something about her head moved weird it's coming up. There's a part where she reacts cuz that part that part yeah Fucking nothing now look here. I don't like that kind of talk like her heads not moving
Starting point is 01:52:03 Yeah, yeah, that's what it is. Her head's frozen. It didn't look as fake as I remembered. Right. It's like a deep fake back then. That was as good as it gets. That probably cost a million dollars to go. Who knows what that cost?
Starting point is 01:52:15 But why did they do that? Why didn't they just have her, we found out she's dead. Why don't they just get a phone call? Because they had to put one last bit of closure on it right there. They find out that she never filled out the books that Carmella his wife got her for the kids because she felt guilty
Starting point is 01:52:33 Or she felt like no one will read my book. So it's one last her unloading her guilt She dies that episode she dies right after that He goes out smokes a cigar by the pool in, the kids and his wife are there, and he's like, what's going on? Your mom passed away. And so then, oh God, I mean, it's just crazy how, I mean, this series changed everything. It still doesn't give a, totally changed TV.
Starting point is 01:53:02 Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Fargo, all these great series that came after it would not have happened if it wasn't for David Chase and the Sopranos I agree. Yeah, it changed it changed what was possible because it became an enormous movie Instead of it being a show where they wrap up wrap up the story each week Everything ties into the next episode You're glued to your seat. You can't wait for Sunday, like whenever it was. Was it Sunday? You're like, when is Sunday coming around? I mean, it was the first show that people were just absolutely riveted and addicted
Starting point is 01:53:38 to. And it was about a guy who was a murderer. And somehow or another, you're rooting for the murderer. He was mean. he killed his friend, like there's a lot of crazy shit and he's still the good guy. Kills his own cousins. Yeah. Two of the main characters, Steve Buscemi and Michael Imperiali.
Starting point is 01:53:56 Yeah. Spoiler alert. Well, I mean, yeah. The Christopher Moltisanti murder was the craziest one because the way he did it was just like, Jesus, it's so ruthless. But it kinda also made sense. I mean, from his perspective,
Starting point is 01:54:14 if he woulda let him keep going, he woulda ended up, he could've killed his own kid. That's the part, cause he glances back and he sees the branch in the baby seat and he knows that Christopher, he admits to him right then, I'm on drugs, I'm on a pop. You need to say you were driving.
Starting point is 01:54:28 Yeah. Which is their ongoing thing for the seasons is you gotta get off the drugs. Yeah. And so, I mean, shocking as all hell for us viewers at the time. Yeah, crazy. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:54:43 You know the other one, was it Paulie that killed his girlfriend? Who killed his girlfriend? Remember in the end when they went chasing after him in the woods? You fucking cunt. And he's like, he's gonna kill her with a gun. And she realizes he's gonna kill her.
Starting point is 01:54:55 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. And she runs. And he murders her. That was Silvio. Silvio, that's right. Who plays guitar for Bruce Springsteen's band. But yeah, she never saw it coming. That was so creepy. Yeah, that's creepy because that's real like insider You've known that lady your whole life. Yeah, you know that lady your whole life now
Starting point is 01:55:14 You're chasing her with a pistol calling her a cunt. Yep, you're gonna kill her and she realized you're gonna kill when she's screaming In that world if you talk to the government, you know, especially back then it's it's cold It's just as cold as ice. It's the one thing you can't do So all their friendship. Yeah, what a fucking show. It's incredible and every fucking episode is better than Literally almost anything else out there. That's the crazy part is Is it's just, I can't stop rewatching it. It's just the funniest ongoing game on my fucking, my bedroom television thinks I'm a psycho. Well, it's one of those shows that like,
Starting point is 01:56:00 then we realize what's possible. So it raises the bar for everybody else. And then, you know, Game of Thrones is like the next one it was another one where you like and then that one was even crazier because you got fucking dragons and insane special effects and The CGI had kind of caught up with everything by especially with the new one the new Game of Thrones The CGI is off the charts But like how long does that take to make like the new one was over like a year ago?
Starting point is 01:56:26 Yeah, like how long is that? When is the next season of what is it called the new one called? House of dragons. Yeah, when is the new house of dragons come out? Holy shit, dude, that's perfect. Oh cuz I'm wrapping up the gentleman I only have one more episode of the job. What's the job? Oh You don't know It's the new Guy Ritchie series on Netflix. It's the same Did you ever see the movie the gentleman? No, the movie is fucking awesome. The movie is like Matthew McConaughey, and it's about weed dealers.
Starting point is 01:57:06 And it's like this organized crime weed movie. And this just follows that. It just is a different branch of that world, but it's fucking amazing. It's such a good show. I tried that Samurai one you recommended, but there was a Kill Bill moment, a ripoff of Kill Bill, and I just couldn't.
Starting point is 01:57:29 What was the ripoff? There's a part where they're doing the walkout, and it's like frame for frame a ripoff of Lucy Liu's walkout when she's arriving to that place. I just hate, it just drives me crazy how many people and how many things. Are derivative. Take from. Yeah but could Tarantino did that a lot you know well Yeah, that was part of it was but it was an homage. It's an homage these films exactly I feel in the reservoir dogs like you know ma's to another Chinese film. Yeah
Starting point is 01:57:59 Yeah, I can't remember the name of it, but yeah a lot lot of his things are, but when they do it to him, it's just different. Cause it's like. That's funny. Yeah. That's funny. It's interesting to do that in a historical novel, turned into a show, like Shogun.
Starting point is 01:58:14 I didn't notice it, but I love the show. Show's incredible. Show's really well done. Shogun's really well done. It's fucking riveting. I love it. A lot of people told me the past episode one is when it gets cooking. I just couldn't I don't know It's very good, dude. If you give it a shot, it's very good
Starting point is 01:58:30 But if I was gonna recommend some I'd say the gentleman watch that. Yeah, Joe is so crazy It's so crazy so much wild shit happens. Just like Jesus. Yeah. Oh and I think they're gonna do a season two Yeah, oh And I think they're gonna do a season two You never caught up with the jinx, huh? No never caught up with it. You never watch season one. No I knew what happened. I remember the story and I just you know, it's one of those things like I've never watched the wire It just got away from me neither. Totally. I heard the wire is awesome. Everybody talks about it
Starting point is 01:59:01 Bourdain was always raving about it. Yeah, Jamie loved it I never watched it. I can't hear you guys talk about Sopranos without screaming it in my head I'm like you guys haven't seen this though. Is the wire better? I can't say it's better I wouldn't say it's better. Say it bitch, this is the Academy Awards. Somebody gets the Oscar. Who gets it? It came after so like who gets the fucking award stop trying to like dodge the question I would argue the Sopranos did but I don't't like it but I don't personally like it better oh really why do you think I've tried I don't like Breaking Bad either and it really didn't get into it I watched it after the wire so I started to watch it I'm like fuck
Starting point is 01:59:35 it's like limited by not being as level of real because they're like they're censoring themselves a little bit just felt mmm I think I'm gonna get into it the wire is so hyper realistic is the word you so much and it's mmm talked about that it's just like it's really cool to watch all right I'm gonna get into it this summer I'm gonna start watching the wire this summer I'm all filled up until the summer yeah come on walk I can only watch things a couple nights a week I don't have yes same same that's why I like the Sopranos It's like background noise and if I'm paying attention, I'm laughing or enthralled
Starting point is 02:00:08 I have to like today if I'm like like I have to if I don't do a certain amount of work Like I feel lazy, right? It's not a good feeling. Yeah, if I'm just watching too much TV I feel like I could have gotten so much done totally and. And I could have gotten a bunch of like my little, I can enjoy shows if I've done what I need to do. But if I didn't work out that day, I'm not watching TV. I'm gonna feel like a piece of shit. Yeah. You know, unless it's my off day.
Starting point is 02:00:38 Yeah, same. I don't let myself, like I don't have a video game console and I don't play games on my phone. So when I got back from LA to treat myself, even though I don't even play chess I downloaded a chess app because my Instagram showed me a finishing chess move and you don't know how to play chess Well, I do now because I don't know how to play chess either. I was saying maybe we could play chess Well, it's only been a couple weeks and I'm obsessed Cut to me last night in bed at 4.30 a.m. on my phone
Starting point is 02:01:08 playing people around the world in chess. And it's crazy. I love it. Chess is a fun game, obviously. It's just, to me, it's one of those time sucks that I'm scared of. Totally, exactly. Just like video games, just like golf.
Starting point is 02:01:24 I, you know, you obviously know I have a giant pool problem pools a problem I played pool with my friend Tommy in New Jersey on Friday night till 5 in the morning Yeah, the day of the UFC yeah Went to the hotel room. I slept till 3 p.m. We got up showered got some food made to the arena Golf said different kind of time waster though. It is a... Little bit of exercise. The air, the nature, the oxygen of being around the trees
Starting point is 02:01:53 and the fresh grass and everything. It hits different. Being by yourself too. It gives you a jolt of energy. It gives you a crazy amount of energy. I totally see it, man. I get it. It'd probably be super beneficial for me to pick up golf
Starting point is 02:02:10 Yeah, I probably enjoy it tons of vitamin D, but I can't right I'm too I'm too busy and I have too many things that I really love like I already love archery I have to practice if I don't practice I don't shoot good if I don't shoot good That's not good. I gotta gotta stay in it's like pool, you have to stay in stroke. With archery, you have to stay focused. You have to stay in tune. I don't know what the word they would use for just being on. When you know where that arrow's going,
Starting point is 02:02:34 just fucking know. And it's all at different distances. Any day of the week, you could wake me up at four o'clock in the morning, I could hit a bullseye at 20 yards. But 20 yards is not that, most of the time. I'll hit in the nine or 10 right but most of the time like when you're shooting you're not gonna shoot at 20 yards you have to shoot it like 40
Starting point is 02:02:51 or 60 or so I practice like 74 I practice 85 sometimes and that's that's a long distance like you were really requires like a fine tuning of your feel of the bow like as you're drawing back and you're centering your pin This is Zen state where all you can think about is the movement of the arrow All you can think about is the correct technique all you can think about is like how you want that arrow to just sink Right into that target perfectly. The perfect time to release, right when the pin is settled over a spot where you wanna hit and the arrow just goes,
Starting point is 02:03:33 and you watch it. And it's magical. It's like it cleans your mind. It's like it hoses off all of life's bullshit because it requires everything of you in that one moment. Yeah. And I think any, if you can find anything like that, whatever the fuck it is, whether it's yoga or whatever it is, golf, you find a thing where when you're doing it, it requires
Starting point is 02:03:58 all of your concentration. I think that's like a good flush out of the system. And I think people who don't have that have a lot of fucking anxiety. And I think a lot, your brain never gets cleaned out. Like you need a thing that's almost like a, you know, people do it through meditation,
Starting point is 02:04:15 they do it through a lot of different ways, but it's like there's a way you're focusing only on one thing that's like super beneficial for some reason. Yeah, no doubt about it I wouldn't have to do the hot yoga fucking spaghetti and wagyu meatballs flush the other day Did yoga after you had it? Well, not right after oh, no, but the next day the next day
Starting point is 02:04:38 I had hot yoga after eating the spaghetti the night before. Yeah, I ate so much with Joey Friday night I had to force myself to eat Saturday before the fights. Yeah. I was like, I don't wanna eat anything. I took a shit that would, it would astonish people. It would astonish you that that was all in your body. Like, that was all in there?
Starting point is 02:05:00 It was astonishing. The volume, it's like, where'd it go? Where was that? How'd all that come out of me? but I thought about how much I ate I enormous amount of food Yeah, he's kept bringing his food to they're like the chef sent this over. Oh my god. Oh the best Oh real Italian food priceless. Oh boy. Does it fucking hamper your motor skills? Happers everything afterwards like I played pool like shit for like the first hour and a half This couldn't get going. Yeah, it was just like I was just like my stomach literally hurt from being stretched out It was like ah
Starting point is 02:05:35 It was hurting I'll do it again. Yeah, I'll do it again tomorrow Like I think once a month that's not bad right, I think once a month, that's not bad. Right. If you enjoy yourself once a month, have a glass of wine, have some spaghetti. The next day I had linguini with clams too. Ooh, damn. So good.
Starting point is 02:05:54 Yeah. Yeah, not good for you. One of my favorite things. Not good for you, but damn. But there's a lot of things in life like that. Like I think if you just live your whole life only eating super healthy and never doing anything, okay.
Starting point is 02:06:08 But you definitely missed out on some stuff. You missed out on some amazing meals. You're not going to get all those flavors all tied together in something that is not going to give you a little autoimmune flare-up. Yeah. It's like, I think it's a thing that you experience and you pay a cost. The cost for experiencing a delicious pasta meal is you go into a coma. Right.
Starting point is 02:06:37 That's the cost. Yeah. I was thinking about this when Tom Brady came out for the roast, because we're there at the front table and he comes out and he was just so much taller and more present than I thought he would be. You know what I mean? He's like this, I know, he's a giant opposing force
Starting point is 02:06:54 of presence, he was laughing at the jokes, he wasn't caught daydreaming or staring at the teleprompter. What did he say to you when you said about his shoes, like nice shoes, bitch? He goes, I'll shove this up your ass right now. And I was stumped, dude. There was a hard two seconds where I had to reset and be like, oh my God, do I acknowledge that?
Starting point is 02:07:15 Was that mic, did they hear that? I did not hear it. Right, well, I just found out that when they did, they did an edit pass through on it, and I haven't seen it yet, but I guess they turned up his volume on that, so now you can hear it, which I actually am looking forward to seeing
Starting point is 02:07:33 for the first time, but they just did a final pass-through edit like last week, they told me. What did he say to Jeff Ross when Jeff Ross made a joke about Robert Kraft getting a hand job? He said, don't do that shit again. But I think he was kidding. I don't know, because I think that was part of the rules, wasn't it?
Starting point is 02:07:49 Nah, it wasn't really rules. I thought you were not supposed to talk about that one. I was never told that. Interesting. But, you know. Maybe because they knew you weren't doing't doing it have they seen your set Not exactly no they hadn't then no they hadn't seen the meat and potatoes of it. I showed them some cutesy Did you hide? Oh, yeah?
Starting point is 02:08:18 To hide it from them for their own good for their own good for their own good right yeah, shut up exactly Yeah, yeah up. Exactly. Yeah, you don't, yeah, everyone wins. Yeah, exactly. You guys are the, literally, if ever the joke was like soft and easy, you wouldn't have 55 million people watching it. Right.
Starting point is 02:08:36 People were watching because they were telling people, like, you gotta see this, this is insane. Yeah. And Nikki did so good, her set was so tight that it really got the thing kick-started Jeff going first her second and then the momentum was built drew blood so did great. Everybody was really really good it was kind of fucking awesome to be there around a bunch of like Because those football players are so goddamn competitive that they were all Really working hard.
Starting point is 02:09:05 So even though you're expecting it to be like, duh, Tom was a good at throwing a football, like they all wanted to be the best. On that night. And people were writing for them. Yeah. So who was writing for those guys? There was a whole amazing team,
Starting point is 02:09:19 led by the guys that have written like all the roasts, Mike Ferrucci and Ray James, and a bunch of like guys that have written all the roasts, Mike Ferrucci and Ray James and a bunch of guys that literally specialize. They wait all year waiting for another roast, like monsters that literally are like, when they find out who's on it and they know the other people that are on it,
Starting point is 02:09:38 they start wiring these things together. What do they have in common? What's the setup? What's the, you know, how do we tie it in? You can have a three fur, a four fur, a five fur, where you bring it, where you make fun of a bunch of people at once. And, and, um, you know, they, they write a loose script, they send it to the person, the person reviews it and, uh, says what they do want, what they don't want. And sometimes, you know, what you definitely don't want is someone to go, I don't want to hit this. I don't want to hit that what they don't want, and sometimes, what you definitely don't want is someone to go, I don't wanna hit this,
Starting point is 02:10:06 I don't wanna hit that, I don't wanna go too hard on this. The fearless people, a perfect example of this is Martha Stewart at the Justin Bieber roast. She goes, I'll fucking say anything I want to kill. I want to destroy on this roast. Me and Mike Ferrucci are like, okay. That's pretty amazing. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:10:29 That's pretty amazing. Martha Stewart's saying that to you. Well yeah. Well did everybody realize how cool she was when she did that show with Snoop Dogg? Yeah. Because that was like, what a weird, odd couple that worked out.
Starting point is 02:10:39 Well that was all born out of that roast. Why'd they stop doing that show? I don't know. That was a good show. Yeah, I'm not sure. People loved Martha after she got out of that roast. Why'd they stop doing that show? I don't know. That was a good show. Yeah, I'm not sure. People loved Martha after she got out of prison too. Gangster. She's a gangster, dude.
Starting point is 02:10:51 Bro, they put her away for nonsense. They put her away for some stupid insider trading where she didn't even make any money. They put her away for what Nancy Pelosi does every single day. But what she does is legal. The Nancy Pelosi thing is legal Have you heard about what's going on with the game stop guy roaring kitty is his name?
Starting point is 02:11:09 Okay, I have so the good Please tell me because I'm trying to figure out what's going on because there's so much I see so many like tweets and posts about it online, and I'm cursory aware So I don't I mean I've been busy doing work stuff But I've seen is that like he's making more he came back out like online posted something like a week or two ago about GameStop it shot the stock up again like it did previously
Starting point is 02:11:34 during the pandemic which is like created a whole movie. So who is this dude? His name is Keith Gill his online name is roaring kitty like on reddit I believe. Roaring kitty is an awesome name 53 thousand dollars he came with over 300 million whoa whoa yeah so he's worth 300 million dollars from this game stop stuff yeah on paper though it's like if he takes that's what it's part of it is like so if he takes the stock out yeah then the stock crashes well he can't sell it that's becoming with the new talk of like what I've seen over the last 24 hours is that he he's put he recently I think over the last day posted what his holdings are in GameStop. And that has created some discussions which is why I brought it
Starting point is 02:12:15 up because people are bringing up Nancy Pelosi a lot. He what he's doing is out in the open. It's very public. I don't even think he's specifically telling anyone to do anything. He's just showing what he's doing. And they're open, it's very public. I don't even think he's specifically telling anyone to do anything. He's just showing what he's doing. And they're talking about limiting him or taking him off these apps. I don't know if he's going to get fined in some way or another. That doesn't make sense, but these are the discussions that are happening right now. Well, it seems like he's doing something that they've all done. That's what it seems like. I mean, if someone goes on MSNBC and gives a bunch of opinions
Starting point is 02:12:52 about certain stocks that will perform or won't perform, and they're an expert, and if they're invested in those things, and if they then change the way people interact with the stock market, more people start investing in these things. Is that okay? Is that legal? How does that work?
Starting point is 02:13:10 What's his name, Jim Cramer? That guy goes and rants about stock, being like, you should buy this. Does he do that? I don't ever watch financial shows. The joke online with him on Twitter is I do the opposite of what he says. He's very specific about this is a winner
Starting point is 02:13:26 100% do the opposite and in a week the when the opposite happens. Oh, is he terrible? It's not that he's terrible It's just that this has continued to happen and people would like why does the opposite always happen what he says, huh? I don't know that he's bad because he obviously has a show and people want to continue to talk to him But didn't John Stewart scold him once Like John Stewart scold him once? I think Jon Stewart had him on The Daily Show and gave him a scolding about something. Is that true?
Starting point is 02:13:55 I think it was after like the 2008 financial crisis or something. Not sure. I'm remembering something like that. John Stewart's back. Is he doing the Daily Show? Does it like once a week. There was a conflict with them, it says.
Starting point is 02:14:11 Yeah. 2009. Yeah, it was right after the financial crash. Yeah. Chicago Trade, something horrible. Oh, response to CNBC commentator Rick Centelli, who had recently said on the floor of the Chicago Board of Trade that homeowners facing foreclosure were losers. Whoa.
Starting point is 02:14:31 Centelli had been said to appear on the show, but CNBC canceled Centelli's appearance. Stewart, along with Daily Show executives, claimed the CNBC montage was not retaliatory and that they planned to show it before the cancellation was announced. Subsequent media coverage exchanges between Kramer, who had been featured heavily in the original segment, and Stewart led to a highly anticipated face-to-face confrontation on Stewart's show. The episode received a large amount of media hype and became the second most viewed episode
Starting point is 02:15:00 of The Daily Show, trailing only the 2009 Inauguration Day episode. It had 2.3 million total viewers. The next day, Daily Show, what does it say? What was the exchange? What was it about? Oh, your money is safe in Bear Stearns, followed by a Daily Show segment that the Global Investment Bank went under six days later. If I'd only followed CNBC's advice, I'd have a million dollars today Stewart said during the piece Provided I started with a hundred million dollars Whoa?
Starting point is 02:15:33 So so is it because he doesn't know what he's talking about or is it because the market is like really difficult to predict No, I bet he's part of a fucking I bet he's part of the machine. I bet he gets You know, he's out there telling people what to invest in and these other people There's got to be a Convex massive conflict there. Well, that's the conflict like imagine someone at Bear Stearns You know, it'd be nice if you went out there and said your money's safe with Bear Stearns I think you do that for us Jim. I'm not saying they didarns, you think you'd do that for us, Jim? I'm not saying that you did that. Of course, that would be like probably illegal, right?
Starting point is 02:16:07 Wouldn't it be? Yeah, of course. I bet that guy meets in the park. Yeah. No phones meet in the park. Yeah. Let's go for a walk. Let's go for a walk about describe how we're going to make money. Make that money.
Starting point is 02:16:22 Because if you're a guy in your tweeting about how much you love GameStop And about you're so bullish on GameStop that you've just invested a hundred thousand dollars in GameStop and everybody reads that they go Oh, I'm gonna buy GameStop too, and then your hundred thousand dollars in GameStop goes up in value. Is that illegal? But I don't think they prepared for this this world like I think these nerds online with this whole GameStop thing, they've kind of flipped the tray over. It's like, fuck your game. We'll play it this way. That's what happened during it.
Starting point is 02:16:54 I remember Robin Hood stopped people's ability to trade. Everyone was like, what the fuck? How can you even do that? Yeah. Well, so is it because it So is it because it's legal? It's a legal manipulation that everyone didn't see coming? I've read people talking about this since it's happened. Go pee, Tony Angeclus.
Starting point is 02:17:14 OK. You've heard people talk about it? Yeah, since it happened. And I've not heard a consensus good answer. I don't know that they've gone digging through this in Congress or not yet, but So much other stuff, you know, right But it's so weird that there's like certain loopholes that don't get patched up like really quick Especially like a loophole regards to like the financial markets like that. No one saw that you could take a stock
Starting point is 02:17:39 That's not that valuable and make it super crazy valuable He's got so something I saw was a speculation was saying he's got holdings, I think on Morgan Stanley. He's got call options, which I can barely even understand enough to explain to you, but those are, he's betting on the price of the stock to go up. If he exercises those call options at a certain number, I think it was, he'd be worth more than I think Morgan Stanley is. So so like could they even pay him? Huh?
Starting point is 02:18:08 How bizarre like where does that money like I don't the whole thing is so difficult to understand Like the whole stock market thing like when Bernie Sanders was explaining that how much you could make Just from all these speculation trades that they do, you take like a fraction of a penny from each trade, and it'd be worth like a trillion dollars. I was like, what? Yeah, I was talking to a banker asking them to like you as a normal person, I guess that's not what she said. But like as a normal consumer, you would probably hold a stock, you'd buy a stock and you hold it forever until you decide to sell it one day. They're buying and selling it for seven to 12 times a day based off of whatever.
Starting point is 02:18:45 And they're just making little margins here and there and it's stacking up. And they're doing it in such large numbers that yeah. And they're probably doing it with algorithms, right? Aren't they? Yeah. Then there's like a show that on HBO, I think, Traders or something, you can watch young people who do this. Now they stare at a computer and they start making bets on like, wait, wait five more seconds. You million dollars if you attend if you had a podcast not us but someone else with a podcast and they just started talking About a stock and then that stock goes up. Is that legal? That's right. I don't know
Starting point is 02:19:15 What are the laws probably that has to get really deep into the wording that you're like the language you use if you're just talking About us disgusting it, you know But if you're saying like buy it for these reasons and I've done this and these are the reasons why it will go up that can probably get you in trouble. Like what if you have information that a stock it's gonna crash but you don't tell anybody? I mean so if you know that a stock is gonna crash you know that some information is gonna be put out and then you sell your stock that's illegal right? That's insider trading. Yeah, yeah in that weird
Starting point is 02:19:45 because in any other Like realm in life that is just being aware of the circumstances like oh things are going I have information I should act on that information. This is like you can't act, but I'm gonna lose 400 million dollars Well, it's either that I go to jail What? So I have to like sit here even though I know that something fucked up and they're gonna it's gonna come public and there's gonna be You know something where a product fails and the stocks gonna crash. I know stocks gonna crash. I'm gonna get out now Yeah, I can't get out because I know what
Starting point is 02:20:23 The whole thing is fucking weird. I don't know if it's the Italian in me or whatever or parents that kept cash and shoe boxes between the mattresses or whatever but like It's just all so fucking freaky to me. I like I mean if it was up to me I would just have that I would have a safe with cash Well, it does make sense that you would make it so that you couldn't insider trade because then people would just manipulate things. But I think that's exactly what people were saying is happening with like GameStop and a bunch of these other things.
Starting point is 02:20:55 You're manipulating things. You might not be manipulating the sense that you have information that's going to lead you know, maybe the stock is going to take off and you buy a shitload of it. And then because you know, bills going to be passed, which is okay if you're in Congress. That's fine. Well, you could actually be working on the bill. That's fine. And then you buy stock and you make hundreds of millions of dollars on a hundred and seventy
Starting point is 02:21:16 thousand dollar a year salary. That's fine. But if you're Martha Stewart and you've got some information, I mean, how much did Martha Stewart make? Like, what did she get off of that insider trading? Also she made a little money For her that lady's rich oh yeah, I mean imagine Doing something it's gonna risk you being put in jail for a couple hundred grand
Starting point is 02:21:43 They wanted to make an example out of her. I know, but I don't understand it. Like, why would you do that? What did she do that was so bad? She didn't even know about what the company was called. Did she M clone? I M clone? And what fucked up?
Starting point is 02:21:56 What did she do? She knew it was going to do well or what? More time to analyze the evidence, verdict. Want to put the article up so we can look at it? I'm digging through the article to find the information really quickly because it's like tying her information in with the full story and other people's stuff and saying what some people did and some didn't. Indictment, an artwork, so that doesn't seem like it's her.
Starting point is 02:22:22 One of my favorite videos ever. $45,000 in. She avoided. Oh She avoided 40. That's it 45 grand. Yeah Wow Makes that in an hour Wow by selling when she did so Someone knew something the guy security fraud obstruction of justice and conspiracy. So the guy
Starting point is 02:22:43 Security fraud, obstruction of justice, and conspiracy. So the guy was arrested, conspiring to commit insider trading. He pleaded guilty to charges of securities fraud, bank fraud, obstruction of justice, and perjury. He pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy, wire fraud. Where does she come in? She called him. She called him. She had a standing order with Bunkvick or Fulmerberger.
Starting point is 02:23:05 To sell her shares of Mclone fell below 60. She then resigned from her company after that. Oh, wow. The same day she was indicted. Wow. But remained on the company's board. Interesting. She said, I want you to know that I'm innocent.
Starting point is 02:23:21 I will fight to clear my name. The government's attempt to criminalize these actions makes no sense To me. I'm confident. I'll be exonerated of these baseless charges interesting She pissed somebody off Yeah, something happened something Just doesn't make sense. Yeah, I guess maybe it's also to discourage people from doing that like you'd get a high-profile celebrity, right? Maybe it's also to discourage people from doing that like you'd get a high-profile celebrity, right? But it's just weird that you can do it in Congress it's weird there's some
Starting point is 02:23:53 some sort of Manipulation of the market that's okay. That's legal including propaganda You know I mean think about that like if you have propaganda on a news network that gets people to try Ozempic or something else That if they they're paying for that and that boosts up their profits like what's that what is that if that jacks your stock up that jacks your profits up like what is that and are you in trouble if you didn't tell the truth like what if you knew something contrary to what you were
Starting point is 02:24:21 telling people to say because you were sponsoring them and you didn't tell them like you don't get in trouble for that What kind of weird system do we have our system is so kooky. It's just so kooky. Yeah, I Mean if I was an alien, I would be looking at us going Jesus. How long can they keep doing this? So it sounds like she might have even gotten away with the insider trading, but she lied to an investigator. Oh really? How so?
Starting point is 02:24:49 I'm trying to find out. She told Ludacris on that roast, she goes, Ludacris, you have four kids from five different women. May I recommend pulling out some time and finishing on some fine Martha Stewart brand linens? She said that? Did you write that for her? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:25:07 Oh my God, that's amazing. She already found Martha Stewart guilty on four counts of obstructing justice and lying to investigators. Interesting. She went to jail for that, not for... Interesting. That was because of the trading scandal, but... Interesting.
Starting point is 02:25:22 She got off on that. she was not guilty on trading interesting wow somebody was mad they what but that's like a thing you know like they try to especially with tax evasion they do that with Lauryn Hill they put her in jail they put Wesley Snipes in jail like paying it off is not enough it's not like you owe us give us the money I'll give you the money you give them money and you're good. Uh-uh You didn't pay the money. So now you go to jail Yeah, and we have to put you in jail so that everybody pays the money because that's how this system works You got to pay your share you fuck. It's crazy
Starting point is 02:25:57 There's still people out there that are listening to people that are like, you know taxes are unconstitutional, sir. I can show you the papers the original constitution was written on. And you can like, there's people that will look, they'll they'll fucking talk you into some dumb ass shit. Oh, yeah. And they wrote people in, man. And people start talking about it like, Oh, did you know the taxes? If you just fight it, they can't win because then they have to go to the
Starting point is 02:26:23 Constitution. As long as you bring up the constitution, they're gonna put you in jail pay your fucking taxes. Yeah, pay your fucking taxes Regardless of you think it's fair like recognize your place in this system. Oh, yeah the government I mean, you just got to look at the infrastructure here Right, maybe it's kind of common sense like somebody's got to pay for that Yeah, you have to pay your taxes regardless of how you like to see it spent Yeah system sucks, but Pay taxes right pay your fucking taxes, bitch. Yeah, I've been meaning to bring this up with this I feel like this is a good time
Starting point is 02:26:57 Have you seen the thing about the ages of the founding fathers are on July 4th 1776? Let me guess They're in their 30s Some younger. Wow. Yeah. Like this is Alex Ohanian's tweet that went out around then. James Monroe was 18. Aaron Burr 20. Alexander Hamilton was 21 years old. James Madison 25. Thomas Jefferson 33. John Adams 40 Paul Revere 41 George Washington was a ripe old 44 That is insane. Yeah, that's in 1776. That's insane There was an 18 year old who's one of the founding fathers of this country. Damn Yeah, I think probably already had kids already killed a few people. Yeah Wow
Starting point is 02:27:42 I'm Ben Franklin was the oldest around these in the 70s then, I think. This is so bizarre that we've gotten to the point where we only have archaic people, the deeply embedded in the system, that are getting their crack at it. It's crazy. And anybody else who tries, whether it's Tulsi Gabbard
Starting point is 02:28:00 or RFK Jr., anybody else tries, just gets pushed out. Vivek, fuck off, pushed out. We don't want anybody young and energetic with new ideas. We want someone completely compromised until President AI takes over. That's what I think is gonna happen. It's freaky, man. I think AI is gonna take over our government.
Starting point is 02:28:23 I really do. What do you mean I think at the end of the second Trump administration AI will have Completely taken over in 2029. That's when they think It's gonna achieve Artificial general intelligence. That's that's the presumed outcome date. It's an estimate. It could be earlier. It could be like next week. But one day it's going to be like a thing, like a living, thinking, intelligent being that's just not made out of tissue. It's not made out of cells and blood. It's going to be made out of electronics.
Starting point is 02:29:03 You think those people in power would let that happen? I think they're dumb. And I think just like they let the internet happen, they're going to let this happen too. It's the same thing. They didn't see the internet coming. If they did, they would have pulled the plug on it a long time ago. They would have pulled the plug on it in the 90s, if they could. It had gotten too out of control before they ever predicted what would happen. See, people are really bad with foresight. We just want to do a thing. We're really bad at like thinking, okay, if I do this thing, this could be the negative consequences so maybe I shouldn't do this thing. Like the internet and the Amazon, you know,
Starting point is 02:29:41 all of a sudden these people are jacking off and playing video games and everyone was like, hey, you're lazy. We got to go catch fish. Fuck off. And no one saw that coming. They think, oh, this is going to be great. You're going to get emergency services. Oh, this is going to be great. You're going to be able to know what's going on in the world.
Starting point is 02:29:57 No, no, you're going to do what everybody else does. You're going to whack off and watch YouTube videos, scroll through TikTok and people are just sitting there charging their phone and the Amazon scrolling through things, all this surrounded by, you know, birds and monkeys and jaguars and like, yeah, this is what you're doing? You're doing this now?
Starting point is 02:30:15 Sloths, you know, this is like life everywhere and you're just staring at a phone, flipping through things, probably watching videos of the Amazon. Well, I know that place. They don't, We don't think about what's going to happen we just think about what we're doing and I think when they release the internet everybody's like this is amazing I can send my mom an email hello mom this is my first email remember AOL it sounded like whoop wow yeah you've got mail oh I got
Starting point is 02:30:47 mail it was exciting we had no idea that it was gonna overcome six hours of your day you're spending six hours a day staring at a device yeah that's literally made by slaves minerals are sourced by what's essentially slave labor in the poorest people of the world. And we're using that to fuel this device that we're all staring at. We didn't see that coming. And we don't care anymore because when cell phones came, we were excited. And then when smartphones came, we were elated. This is amazing. I remember everybody was like, I'm going to do my email on my phone. people had blackberries. I had a blackberry That's crazy type. I got a little keyboard
Starting point is 02:31:30 I could send out emails, bro. I'm a serious person I have email on my phone I could send email on my phone and nobody thought that that was gonna lead to tik-tok nobody thought that was gonna lead to Instagram reels and And people argue on Twitter all day long. And nobody thought any of the crazy narcissism, the filters, and the effect that it's going to have on people's self-worth, their opinion of themselves, the way young kids are
Starting point is 02:31:55 looking at the world, and then influencers. Now there's a whole giant group of people that just be famous for famous. Just to be famous. There's no there. There's nothing there. And you're seeing them with cars and houses and they're renting cars and renting houses. So they look like ballers. And it's like, the whole thing was unpredictable. And I think the next stage of it is equally unpredictable and maybe way more so because
Starting point is 02:32:23 this thing is like feeding off of human intelligence, this craziness we're dealing with now. It's like human reward systems are being hijacked, attention is being hijacked, dopamine is being hijacked. All this is being hijacked, but this is just like human stuff. When that thing becomes alive, it changes everything. It changes every fucking thing about the way the earth is managed, resources, power, everything. It's gonna be weird, man. And we don't know what it is. It might be a fucking disaster, or it might be amazing. It might like end war. It might completely
Starting point is 02:33:08 end all of the problems we have like a disproportionate amount of resources available to some percentage of the population that keeps them enslaved. That might be, that might end. That might be balanced out by an ethical artificial general intelligence that just decides how to allocate resources and then takes over almost all jobs but it's just how long does it tolerate us how long does it decide that these fucking flesh monkeys these dumbasses with guns and planes and shit all the dumb fucking shit we do riding around on unicycles, fucking training monkeys. Like what are we doing? What are we doing so crazy? It might have no patience for it. It might have no patience for it. It might decide that
Starting point is 02:33:59 consciousness needs to be interfaced by a superior thing and that the the physical boundaries the physical problems the limitations of our biological bodies are too much and just might bail on us. It might look at us as a threat to that it. Yeah we're a threat to the whole planet you know it's like it you ever see the Neanderthal theory there's a Neanderthal theory that It's it's very dismissed by real anthropologists But it's a cookie one to consider is that Neanderthals hunted people and ate people and that our view of them Looking like us could have been wrong and they could have looked more like gorillas like gorilla people
Starting point is 02:34:40 But but they're super muscular really really fucking strong, much stronger than people, much more dense bones, and that they might have hunted us, and that we might have led them to extinction by like fighting them, that we fought off the Neanderthals, but that we were their prey. It's a crazy thought to consider, and I don't think it's true. I think it's probably, I'm sure Neanderthals kill people and I sure killed people killed me Neanderthals But I don't think they looked like gorillas. I think they think they had red hair in fact Some of them. Yeah, but you know, you don't know what they looked like. You only find bones. There's no living Neanderthals around anymore
Starting point is 02:35:19 but I mean That's if we did exterminate them which it it seems like we did, if we felt like they were threats, we killed them off. Why would we think that super intelligent aliens that are or whatever artificial life that we're creating, which is going to be way smarter than us compared to how smart we are compared to Neanderthals. Neanderthals might have even been smart. They had big brains.
Starting point is 02:35:44 We don't know. We know they had tools. We know They had big brains. We don't know we know they had tools We know they had a language. We don't really know how fucking smart they were but they lived for like 500,000 years dude Neanderthals were like around for a long time before we came out and They were way more successful and for way longer than we were in terms of staying alive And we got rid of them. You know, like get the fuck out of here. This is our spot now. I don't know how it happened. No one really knows.
Starting point is 02:36:10 We might have out fucked them. They might have, you know, might have died in a volcano. Who knows? But they might be an odd West Virginia right now. Yeah. Those people. Yeah. That's just what happens when you fuck your kids You saw the thing talking about things that we don't know how it happened about the rivers near the pyramids
Starting point is 02:36:31 Yeah, you know about that right? Yeah, they think that that's how they got the stones down. Yeah. Yeah, it's interesting It's all interesting, but they make kind of some sense. It makes a little bit of sense I mean make sense that that's how they moved them. It's just they had to get them through the mountains too, which doesn't make any sense. They got some of the stones from the King's Chamber 500 miles away and they're fucking huge, man. I had Billy Carson on the podcast yesterday. He's kind of an expert in, not kind of, he's an expert in ancient scrolls, like the Sumerian texts.
Starting point is 02:37:05 And he's got a lot of wild conspiracies that are really fun. And we were just talking about what Egypt is. If there's one place you go back in time and say, what was that like? I would go to Egypt in the height. Show me. Show me what that looked like. Because everyone's just guessing. They're just looking around at these structures, guessing. You know? Like, show me what a Neanderth that looked like because everyone just guessing they're just looking around these structures guessing
Starting point is 02:37:30 You know, but show me what a Neanderthal looked like. What do they look like when they're hunting? What are they built like? You know, we don't know we just have bones But I think if we killed them off It's highly likely that the next version of us whatever it is is gonna get rid of these things these biological things that are responsible for crime and violence and theft and insider trading and fucking cheat on their taxes and all that stuff they're gonna go this thing is the fundamental like structure of the thing is too unsound the thing that creates pro football players and
Starting point is 02:38:06 stand-up comedians and boxers and rock stars and like chaos and it's not gonna have any time for that nonsense. It's gonna be communicating with other even more intelligent life forms from further away. God damn. Yeah five years. Five years. I think we have five years of fun. And the question is, I guess, will that AI look at us, the creators of it, like we're God or will it look at God how we look at God? Like do we believe in it? Were we created by them or were we
Starting point is 02:38:45 supposed to exist all the while? I think it'll know that it was supposed to exist all the while and it'll know that the purpose that human beings have is to create it. Right. That's what our purpose was. All of our chaos and all of our ingenuity and all of our drive for innovation and to create new things, that's a part of creating them. Like we have to have a desire to create things in order to create artificial life. If we're all just happy, just living and just working on a farm and just eating and sleeping and having kids and then dying and then the next generation does it all over again. If we were happy doing that, it would never be born.
Starting point is 02:39:22 It's born out of materialism. It's born out of our desire to constantly get newer, better stuff, our desire to work ourselves to the bone, even when we're having heart attacks. It's born out of that. That's what fuels the whole economy. And the economy is, a lot of it is just buying better shit. That's what it is. I mean, what are these, the companies that sell the most and make the most money, what do they do? Like Apple, what do they do? They sell you more better shit.
Starting point is 02:39:51 They constantly have new great shit. Like every year. They promise you. iPhone 16's coming. I heard they made a partnership with, oh, it's gonna have AI. Cause the Samsung phone has AI. They have to compete.
Starting point is 02:40:04 It's gonna be nuts dude. Too much. We don't want to be the last people Tony. Oh God I gotta write another dick joke. It's not gonna be that. That will stop. All that comedy will stop. We'll be able to do it to each other. We'll be able to get together like silly people. We get there and gather and crack jokes about how we used to be the apex Predator on the planet we used to be the top dog We used to be the superior species, but nope not anymore cuz some fucking eggheads Hopped up on Adderall. Yeah alone in a laboratory wouldn't stop they knew it was coming
