The Tim Dillon Show - 247 - Scream At The Sky (ft. Yannis Pappas)

Starting point is 00:00:00 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Tim Dillon Patreon episode of returning favorite, Yannis Papas is with us in Austin, Texas. Yeah, it's good to be here. It's good to be in the new capital of the world. Yeah. There's no clubs open yet. Yes. No clubs, but Joe's going to have one and then cap city will open. I don't know when, but hopefully soon, you know, it's just sick. I was looking at Ben. I was going like, you know what? They don't teach you that at college. They don't go, you know, we're going to train

Starting point is 00:00:27 you to sit and smoke a cigarette and produce a podcast on a beautiful deck overlooking a beautiful Texas long horn hill. Yeah. And they won't sell me this house because the people that own it think they're it's worth $20 million because they've lost their minds. But you know what? Hey, Elon Musk keeps saying Austin with plus signs on Twitter. So everybody's just like, Hey, fuck it. If you don't want to pay a million and a half dollars for a house that would appraise for 850, they go, if you're not into that game, if you don't want to throw one, five cash, then get out of town because somebody else will. I mean, somebody who has a company, somebody who has a tech company will come in here and buy this

Starting point is 00:01:13 house cash and stash their wife and kids there. Will they sit in the room and try to figure out how to come up with a device that takes everybody's fingerprints off or whatever the hell. You went to the Texas Ranger game. I went to the Texas Rangers game today. Yeah. It's the only full capacity sporting event that has happened in the United States in over 12 months. Yeah. Texas did it as a middle finger. You know, it was funny is that so it was full capacity. Nobody had masks on. Half the people are going to die of COVID. But you know, they're going to, they're going to die to the Star Spangled Banner and that's all they care about in this town. And they're big fucking people. But we were in full capacity.

Starting point is 00:01:52 Nobody was wearing masks. And then on the escalator, they told us that you couldn't walk on the escalator because of social distancing. So Texas talks about how everyone else is fucked up. The whole thing is fucked up. Yeah. All these social distancing rules don't make sense. I'm sitting at a table, put my mask on, I get up, take it off, put it on, take it off. Yeah, it doesn't make sense. I got vaccinated. I've had COVID. Why am I wearing a fucking mask right now? It feels like I'm wearing a condom, having sex with my wife. Yeah. Can I just fucking raw daddy life right now? It doesn't make any sense. You know, the media wants COVID to keep going like the media keeps writing articles where they're

Starting point is 00:02:28 like the fifth wave. Don't worry. The ninth wave is coming. And we found a mutant strain of COVID and it will they cause Trump is gone. So there's nothing left. COVID's the last thing they got. Have you seen like the ratings, how much they've dropped in like CNN? They've tagged and they've gone into toilet. And then the media is going to, they don't know what to do because they can't really criticize the president who has clearly as dementia. He has dementia and it would be a news story. You know, they were always saying like Trump, Trump seems to be slipping mentally and maybe he has dementia. And this guy clearly, clearly, has something wrong, but he can't talk about that. So they've got to just talk about, they've

Starting point is 00:03:17 got to talk about COVID. And then when that is done, and that I don't know when that happens six months a year, whenever, but when that's completely done, they might have to turn around and go, why is the president drooling? Like, why is the president of the United States like just completely, but I think that's the point, right? The point is that he's just going to, Kamala is going to take over at a certain point. Yeah. Kamala is just, she's waiting to inherit the throne. You know, she's like, she's like Anna Nicole Smith who married that billionaire just sitting there going, I love you. Happy Valentine's Day, sweetheart. Can I get you another coffee? And then there's just, yeah,

Starting point is 00:04:02 just a little bit. Let's just, let's just say it's not micro dosing. And she's dead, right? She's dead. She died. She overdosed. Yeah. Sad. I remember her in The Naked Gun, 33 and the third when I was young, those Leslie Nielsen movies. Back when you could make goofy movies that weren't about imperialism. Yeah. And I remember her and then I remember she married that old guy. I remember she had that show, the Anna Nicole Show. Yeah. I think it was on E. She was a basket case mess. Yeah. How many of those shows, because you know, like Mark, you know, Mark Burnett, you had a meeting with him and everything. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:04:36 It's just so funny that like so many of the, remember Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown had a show? They're just showing up to put cameras in the faces of drug addicts. Yeah. Which is, which, which is when TV was good. It was true. It was true. I mean, Dr. Joe, that show, Celebrity Rehab with Jeff Conaway. I mean, they were giving these people no real help and they just put cameras in the face of the drug addict. They did it with Anna Nicole. They did it with Whitney. And some days they would show up and like these people, they were too fucked up to record and they'd have to like give them water. I mean, imagine that. Imagine like going through schooling, film school or whatever you went through. And then like, you got to like, you know,

Starting point is 00:05:13 give a drug addict water so they can get up and finally film a scene where they scream at their daughter. We'll get this fake storyline going once, once, once we get Anna Nicole Smith off of the IV. We got to get her up and, you know, just, you know, get in with some smelling salts, wake her up. And it's just like that real housewife show that Andy Cohen has where multiple people on the show off themselves because the whole show is about like being rich and a lot of them have no money and pretend to be rich. And what happens eventually is one guy, they were pretending to be rich so much, he's just off themselves because they were like, they were like, he's like, we can't keep doing this and we can't keep pretending to have money. I know you want to be on the show,

Starting point is 00:06:03 but like, you know, again, he just, just took himself out on the show. Yeah. Well, I learned from you. I'm going to just, I got one person I'm going to be honest with, my wife. And then I'm going to lie. I'm going to start, I got to start lying more. You got, I told you that. I told you to lie to the people you care about. Yeah. If you don't lie to the people you care about, I mean, you don't really care about them. Yeah. I mean, I always said that to me who came up to me in the green room. Ben knows exactly, this is kind of funny. Yeah. Somebody came up to me in the green room with a comedy story, goes, Hey man, he goes, I heard you, you did this whole bit on your show about how you only lie to the

Starting point is 00:06:37 people you care about. If you don't lie to them, you don't care about them. He goes, dude, that was brilliant. And I said, Oh, thanks so much. He goes, I realized you were real deal when I heard that. And that man's name was Chris Delia. I mean, that's true. That's absolutely true. But, you know, he enjoys the show. That's what matters. I don't know what happened. I'm not an attorney. He enjoys the show. Yeah. No, yeah. I mean, that, I think that's the key to success is to just lie. You have to. I think, I don't know if it's straight out lying, but it's, it's, you can't be too honest with people. Right. Right. You just can't. You have to lie to them. There's, well, there's basically saying is you have to lie to them because I don't like anyone.

Starting point is 00:07:22 So here's the reality. If I were to be honest with everybody, when, as soon as they came up to talk to me, I'd go, I'm sorry, I don't like you. Yeah. I would have, Hey man, I apologize. I don't, maybe it was like a misunderstanding. I'm not like, I'm not a fan of this. I don't need this in my life, but you can't do that. You got to go. No, no, no. That sounds good. So you're thinking about starting a podcast. Oh, good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's good. Yeah. 21, 2021. You can start. Yeah. Yeah. It makes sense. No, it's good. I was at the, I was at the game today with a girl who's from California who moved here, which is like, you know, that's everybody, right? And yeah, she told me her father was two different coaches. She gave me two different names

Starting point is 00:08:03 for, and I just pretended to ignore it. You know, like, so she told me that her dad was a, was a coach on a, on a, on a major league team. She told me his name and then 10 minutes later, she told me a completely different name. So it's two different guys. And so she was lying about it. And I wasn't going to sit there and go, you know, and that's when I started to think like, I need to start just doing this and just tell people, Richard Gears, my brother, you know, she was practicing on you because if this is what I've always said, you got to lie all the time because you never know when you're going to need to be good at it. It's like drunk driving. You can't do it once in a while. You got to do it every night or not at all. It's like people learning

Starting point is 00:08:38 English as a second language and they talk to you, but they're really just practicing English. Yeah, that's what she's doing. She's just trying out a few whoppers on you to see the next time she's at a job interview where she's got to lie to a dude so she could, you know, get some of the money or whatever, or, you know, she's got to lie to her sister or, you know, it's the way the whole country is run on. Now, we have this weird job because we can be honest like on these shows and it's funny. Yeah, but if everyone's lying, who's at the wheel? The best liars. Yeah, the greatest liars. The best liars are just their drivers. The Bushes, the Clintons, the people that fund them, the Rockefellers, the Morgan, I mean, historically, Bezos, all these guys, like they lie and create,

Starting point is 00:09:20 like Carl Rove said, we're an empire. We create our own reality. Like these people just create their own reality. They don't even consider it lying. They're just inventing truth. They're inventing what they want to be true. It's not absolutely not true. And the only difference between them and regular liars is regular liars when they get dehydrated, drink a Gatorade, and they drink children's blood with adrenaline in it. Yes, that's what I was just told. Well, is that true that they're drinking adrenaline in children's blood? I don't think a lot. I don't think all of them are drinking adrenica. Who told you that at the Texas Rangers game? The guy was driving on with an announcement. Yeah, they say, hell, welcome to Texas. There's a bunch of pedophiles

Starting point is 00:09:56 surrounding this area. Let me tell you something right now. That pizza place was spooky, man. If you went in there, it was a vibe. I never understood the need to believe they're drinking adrenaline. Isn't fucking the kids bad enough? I always said that because they are fucking the kids, but they go, and then they're eating them. I go, well, wait a minute. Yeah. And like, literally, this is what this is what somebody said to me once they're trying to explain the Q and on horseshit. They go, they fucked the kids, but they go, but then you got to hear about the really bad stuff. And I went, the really bad stuff. What do you mean? Well, I don't understand. Do you think there's a chance that Alex Jones could have broken to their meeting and they

Starting point is 00:10:31 were drinking wine and he just, it just was red and he thought it was. It's possible. I do think they kill some of the kids because if the kids start getting mouthy and talking, then the kids got to go. That's why they want kids from foster homes. I mean, these are evil people that are doing this. They're very evil. But now listen, are there a cult weird shit and has weird shit happened? Absolutely. Do I think it's, do I think everybody in the world that has money is doing it? No. Do I think pedophiles exist and are protected? I know for a fact, like high level members of the government or just regular rich people are, you know, if you're a poor pedophile, you just grab a kid off the street. If you're a rich pedophile, there's a business around it.

Starting point is 00:11:15 The Catholic Church was like a whole institute. You can make it, based on facts, you could probably make an argument that maybe the Catholic Church was set up as a ruse to systematically rape children. It's not the worst argument. I mean, the evidence kind of points that way. That is not the worst argument. I mean, it points that way. It's weird when somebody, I mean, think about it. They're against abortion. Of course they're against abortion. What's their supply? Their supply is unwanted kids. So you never fuck with a motherfucker's supply. Don't kill that kid, send him to our seminary. I always get weird when like somebody tells me their son's thinking about being a priest. I go, oh, he's a pedo. Like immediately I jump to that. Right. If somebody

Starting point is 00:11:58 goes, this young kid's thinking about being a priest, I go, what? And think about it. Who was in authority figure? You call him father. Who do you never question? He's a representative guy. Don't question him. Father, his name is father. Give my son to him. Unwanted son to him. He's going on a ballgame trip. You know what I mean? In father's basement. So it's like, that's where the ballgame's happening. And you don't question that parents never say anything. I'd love to get in there to the Vatican Bank and see what they got because they got a lot. Oh, they got a fucking, you know how you go when you go to 7-Eleven, they got a slurpy machine? They got an adredamine machine. It's just pumping. Yeah, I just learned the word today on the ride

Starting point is 00:12:38 back. Who said, who told you that? Texas. Everyone in Texas is saying it. This idiot that you drove with? I mean, it's just, yeah, I mean, it just, there's, there's things going on. I mean, there's fucking children's blood that have painted the walls of the White House. It's not Texas. It's literally everywhere. And, and it's probably true at this point. You know what I mean? It's, it's true enough. I thought gasoline Maxwell was a good, good gal. What'd you, what'd you call it? Just gasoline Maxwell. Now this is in mid-stroke. He calls David Dobrik, Daniel Dobrik all the time. I don't know any, you gotta go full boomer. You're about to go full boom. None of these people have any importance to me, so I never learned their names. I know, but you should. I only know one

Starting point is 00:13:16 name. It's Joe Rogan. Yeah. Come kick me in the chest and I'll move here or tell you I am at least. It's, I can't go back to New York. You know, I look at New York and I go, I love New York, but it's like a part of the past. And LA is just, is on fire, literally and figuratively. And they just turned David Dobrik into a rapist. So you look at LA, I can't go to LA. So Austin's kind of it at the moment. Like, I don't want to go back to, I don't want to go back to getting on a subway and getting off a subway and like running around doing spots. I'll do it every now and then, like I'll jump over there and do comedy. But like, as a lifestyle, I don't want that lifestyle. Yeah, no. Because I did it for years and so did you.

Starting point is 00:14:04 Yeah, I don't think you have to anymore. I think some of that is, it's a good problem to have kind of, I think what you're calling, I think what you're saying is, without saying it, is your socio-economic status doesn't really jive with the subway anymore. But nobody's does. Here's the thing. Actually, nobody's does, if you think about the amount of time you spend doing bar shows and if you just took, if you found a few people that were funny. Well, Tim Warner's not going to be able to hop in his Tesla. Nobody even knows who he is, but he's living in like a van. He's a sweet kid, but it's not working. He burns newspapers for heat.

Starting point is 00:14:45 Yeah. But the idea that people just have ignored the internet forever and have said, we're just going to rely on, like, the people that own comedy clubs, and let's be very honest, the people that own comedy clubs or book comedy clubs, these are the same types of people that were outside of a tent selling tickets to a bearded lady or a fucking two sisters that conjoined twins. The same person that was selling tickets to come see the conjoined twins is now the Booker of Stand Up New York or whatever club you fill in. Like, that's what I liked about the pandemic is they finally took their circus outside. Yes. And they said, you know, are you available for the 8.15.1 train show?

Starting point is 00:15:32 It was. They started doing shows in tents. Yeah. And it felt like a circus. It felt like a literal circus. They did a clean show in one car, and then you moved around to the late show hosted by J. Ocuson in the second car. Yeah. I mean, my ex roommate, guys like that man, they're part of the history of American entertainment because they would have been in like the depression or a tent carnival circuit, like the dust bowls, you know, they just came up like that type of person has had a place in entertainment forever. It's never the successful place, but it's always a place. There's always a guy who's like, come this way. See the sights.

Starting point is 00:16:13 And then there's also like an overseer carnival guy who's like whipping the bearded lady. And that's what the bookers and club owners do to the comics. They go, you're good to be here. Welcome. Sit at your water station and gossip. Basically the cellar table. It's a fucking water station where waitresses gossip. Yes. It's, I've never spent that much time there. I mean, obviously it's like legendary. Did you, did you enjoy your half off chicken fingers? Yeah. And your $75 check that will be taxed. It's, it's a, it's a crazy business. Like the idea of being employed in this business is weird, especially in 2021. It's weird being employed. You gotta take a little ownership of your career. People, certain people got to do it and I get it,

Starting point is 00:16:59 but it's very strange to have like a boss and have people tell you what to do and have people rat on you. And like, if you don't have a good set, a waitress will tell somebody and then they go, Hey, what happened down there? It's like, it's a very strange thing to have to conform to what's kind of an archaic set. And that's a lot of clubs. It's everywhere. It's just like, it's just the way that it works and that people just do it and it's kind of unquestioningly do it. Yeah. And I just, I never understood the comedy club system where on a Tuesday it was $25 or like, how about this one on Thursday? It's $25 shows sold out. Friday, all of a sudden I'm getting $75. Right. How did, what's that?

Starting point is 00:17:45 Slight of hand. What's that difference? Yeah. Can you show me that magic trick in slow motion? I guess the argument is that people drink more on Friday, but that's not true. No, because it's a two drink minimum. Yeah. And a lot of those people on Tuesday, they're on a vacation, getting bombed. Yeah. Yeah. So I'd like to see that magic trick in slow motion. It'll be fun to go back and do a few spots. And you know, I'm excited for Joe's Club to open because I want to be somewhere new. I don't want to come out of this pandemic the way I went into it. And I think being in a new club, a new state, a new environment is much better than going back to the same things that I used to do, even the store, which I love, but like,

Starting point is 00:18:21 the same types of things to me. I mean, my spots at the store used to be like 1 AM, not 1 AM, I'd get like 1130 spots, right? Which were decent spots for a guy that just got passed. But the three people before me would bomb a lot of the times and they had nothing going on, no family. They simply got those spots because they were passed at the club longer than I was. They didn't have a podcast, they didn't have anything going on. They weren't on TV or anything. They just, they would get the spot because it was like, hey, they put in the time and it's like, what the fuck does that mean? Remember that? I remember. Yeah, I would go there and you know, you'd go up late and people would cheer. They were there to see you. Yeah, it was

Starting point is 00:18:58 just weird because it was like, you waited around and then people would go up and they'd be like, yeah, you know, this guy's been here for 15 years and I'm like, who cares? Yeah. What does that mean? What I love about like, you know, Jeremy Piven and Michael Rappaport is that they're waiting, they're waiting to get good. They're waiting to get good before they do weekends. So they're waiting to put 10, 20 years in because they know that the audience really cares about the craft and they're going, you know what, Michael Rappaport was good, but he wasn't technically as good as some of the guys I saw at this comedy club on a Tuesday night. What I love about Jeremy Piven is he's the only guy that got me tooed into comedy. Like he got me tooed into stand up

Starting point is 00:19:38 because you can see how stand ups like the lowest art form ever. Yeah. People that have had serious me too problems take refuge in stand up comedy because they're like, I mean, I walked in a state of New York where Jeremy Piven was on stage and you're just looking at him like, what the hell happened to that guy? Yeah, I knew you just know that he wants to do the podcast and we just didn't answer. Screech and Steve Oh, you know, you go from like, you can't staple your balls at 50. So it's like, but you can go up on a stage and tell jokes. It's like, stand up is like the Statue of Liberty. It'll take whatever, what it can be your weary, you're tired, you're damaged, you're molested, you're former carnival stars. Give me your

Starting point is 00:20:19 former child, nerd, fucking Screech, rest in peace. Yeah. I mean, nobody ever learned his name, but he, you know, he was able to diamond, he was available to do a week and a side splitters. Yeah. He was around. He was available. He definitely did a couple of cycles of Soul Joel pre-pandemic. Yeah. Well, it's what I love about, I was, we do the Soul Joel gig and I love Soul Joel, but you know, the green room was a little, you said the green room was a little because it had floor mats. Well, first of all, they didn't pay. I like what they did with the place, but the floor mats need to be winterized. Yeah. The green room was a car. It was escalated, which was nice, but also they didn't pay for the kerosene or for the heat lamps or whatever

Starting point is 00:21:02 they're putting in the heat lamps. So the second show, we're all like kind of up there half bombing because it was freezing. People are in blankets with ski masks on and I'm entertaining them in the middle of a field in Pennsylvania. And I was like, oh, this is the end of the world. You did feel like that. You go, this is the fucking end of the world. Yeah. It's kind of, it was kind of apropos though that like the Capitol comedy became Royersford PA during a pandemic that our country could not handle because we are a failed state in every way, in every way. What do you think of Austin? I mean, you're staying downtown. It's a dump. I think it might, everyone who's like has any semblance of reason has retreated here. Yeah. And that's what scares me because, you know,

Starting point is 00:21:48 like Venezuelans, Cubans, when they escaped, you know, they escaped to America. They swam here on rafts or on their TT's back or whatever. And, you know, and there was some aunt who was drowning, but then the, the, the niece and she just said, go, you know, go live freedom and they made it. And now I get the sense that people who have like any sense of reason or in the middle, politically or have common sense are moving, they're moving to Austin, they're moving to Texas, they're moving to Dallas, they're moving to Fort Worth, they're moving to Florida. And the thing is that's still in America. So there's just nowhere to hide. Yeah. There's nowhere to run. There's nowhere to hide. There's a real worry that, and we talked about

Starting point is 00:22:33 this, people are, a lot of people are just disconnected. The elites are completely disconnected from any of the problems that are happening. They believe all of the problems are on social media on Twitter, which they've all created by the way. But none of them understand that like Cleveland is a bombed out third world hellhole that Kansas City and Omaha, Nebraska, when you drive through them, look like you're in Bosnia. You look like you're in a Kurt Russell movie. It looks like escaped from New York. Yeah. Yeah. There's tents in every major city. There's large communities of tent cities. Yeah. There's boarded up houses is boarded up. And if you bring this up, people look at you like you've done the wrong thing by bringing it up. They go, wait a minute,

Starting point is 00:23:16 what? They don't want any reality to puncture their idea of what's going on, but it's bad out there. I mean, even Dallas was like, I don't want to walk around here. No. You go see the X in the spot and then you fucking leave. Cities work like sharks. If they stop moving, they die. If a city stops moving, which is what happened with COVID, these things die. When you close the restaurants, the shops and all this stuff, there's just nowhere to go. There's nothing to do. And then the cities become vacant. People leave. Homeless people move in. They set up camps. Those people have mental health problems that the government doesn't give them any help with. Those people then set up these, you know, barter economies of drugs and sex or whatever else. And this is what happens. I mean,

Starting point is 00:24:01 it's like the cities get deserted. Manhattan got deserted. Everybody was working from home. Yeah. Like people move in and they go, hey, okay, this is fun. Tesla's going to take the homeless people and ask them and just send them out into space. That's the secret that people don't know. Rudy Giuliani used to put them on buses and send them to the West Coast and send them upstate New York for upstate all over the place. I mean, Elon Musk and all his tech cronies here just going to put them on. What's your read on a guy like him on Elon Musk? Yeah, cause he's new hairline. I know that he's very, he's brilliant, but he's also kind of a hawkster. He's all over the place. He loves fame. Yes. And he's a visionary, but it's also like he married like a celebrity, like MC squared is her

Starting point is 00:24:47 name, right? Grimes. And his daughter is like a fucking name to computer code. Right. He likes attention. He's like, he hangs out with Kanye West. You know, he can't understand a word Kanye was saying, but he did it for the gram. Like it's, it's wild to have a billionaire be one of the richest people on the planet. And you know, he's also doing things for the gram, which is just lets you know that, you know, nobody has any tact anymore. No, there's no, I will say one thing about the Morgans and Rockefellers. Like there was a little, there was, there was something nice about the idea of just an evil billionaire locked away in a castle. Now they're like on Twitter all the time, bothering you. Right. It's like, have the decency to not,

Starting point is 00:25:30 that's what I like about Warren Buffett. He just stays in his little hut in Omaha because he's a little goblin and he's got that fraudulent garbage, you know, I like my house, which you know, God only knows why he stayed there, but he's a goblin and he stays there in his little hut and just is worth $100 billion and emerges every now and then like a groundhog to tell everybody things are going to be okay and then buys five companies. Yeah. You know, that's something nice about it. He's not on Twitter all the time. I don't think he is. Is he Ben? You know, he's not. He's not. And there's something nice about that. Yeah. I don't know what, like Elon Musk, there's something a little weird about someone who's such a big billionaire who wants the love of the people.

Starting point is 00:26:12 Why do you want the admiration? I guess all the things he wants to do, he's got these grand designs and the way society should be run. He needs some type of public support. I think we don't deserve it though. Yeah. Take your fucking rocket ship and go to Mars. Well, me and Ben talk about it all the time. The next step and is, you know, we're talking about the other day because I want to build my own city. That's going to be next where billionaires will just build their own cities that are smart cities where in order to get in, they're going to look at your credit score, your medical history, this, that and the other thing. It's going to be retinalized scan. You know, it'll be biometric or that bullshit. And you know, it would be a better

Starting point is 00:26:50 place, man. I mean, look at what we've done with freedom. I mean, we had a little experiment here where they said, what do the people want? And the people want, the people said, I want nachos with liquid cheese. That's what they said. It really is true. Democracy really is not. They say, I want a buffet with limitless options. Yeah. Yeah. I want to be able, I don't want to be able to walk. I want to be able, I want you to invent a device that will roll me there. Yeah. It's true. It's a tough, it's a tough argument right now to make for democracy. Yeah. I mean, it's a tough podium to stand on and talk about how great democracy is. I mean, there are companies that move cars. Yeah. And now that those companies are moving people. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:27:27 That are on wheels. Yeah. They're saying, I'll move you, you're moving, you're relocating, I will move, I will send your car to you and I'll also send you your grandmother. And by the way, your grandmother was just as heavy as the car. There's also something about the idea of the diet of content that we fed ourselves from trash talk shows to reality show. I mean, just mind numbingly bad entertainment for decades and bad food, bad entertainment, bad news. Well, that's the thing. And we've rotted our brains. Everyone's brains rotted. That's why QAnon, it takes hold pretty easily because people's brains have been rotted. They've been rotted and they have no love for knowledge. I mean, it's like,

Starting point is 00:28:12 you just say to a kid, what would you rather read the autobiography of Abraham Lincoln or The Notebook? And they'll take The Notebook every fucking time. So it's like, that's, we've kind of, nonfiction is just not as fucking lit as fiction. And right now it needs to be fucking lit. Okay. If you are not an influencer slash merch dropper slash tiktoker slash boxer slash Chinese spy, you are not employed. It is fucking if you don't have a job unless you're Jake Paul. Yeah. If you're not a Chinese scientist or South Asian doctor, you better be Jake Paul. Right. Yeah, that's it. There's not a lot out there. There's not a lot out there, dude. There's not a lot of jobs out there. They've been eliminated. There's no travel agents. I remember

Starting point is 00:29:03 like everything is, computers have taken everything. Right. I mean, there's something to what Yang Yang has to do. How stupid are you now if you need a travel agent? If you need a travel agent, yeah. You're a mongoloid. You're a mongoloid. If you need a travel agent. And but what jobs did those people get that used to work in Liberty travel? Where did they go? Are they all handing out buzzers at Panera bread? Where are they? Yeah, they're in a tent. Yeah, they got to be in a tent. Yeah, that's true. What are they doing? Yeah, that's why like people are surprised at the canceling the canceling. That's a whole economy. Yeah, that's a job. That's a new job that's a merge that is necessary. That's true. Yeah, those people need to be employed. They need to take

Starting point is 00:29:39 people down so they can eat. Yeah, they're not they're not outraged by what you said. They're just trying to eat. Yeah, because there's a story and people will read it. Well, we we say, you know, we go on the road and like, you know, Airbnb now is like, like you walk into a hotel now. There's like no one there. Right. Like hotels now are like done. Yeah, you can just stay at some guy's house. Massive. You're walking to a Hyatt. Yeah. There's just empty conference rooms. Yeah. No, no businesses are doing conferences because of COVID. And by the way, they're not going to start doing them either because they can always save all this fucking money. So you walk through a Hyatt, and in your like, there's no one there. There's like one guy at the front desk because Hyatt's

Starting point is 00:30:13 like, well, we're not employing anybody anymore. There's like three people. You're in a carcass of what used to be a functional hotel, like a massive hotel. Me and Ben have been the only people me, Ben or Dan, like we're walking around these hotels. There's like, they're spooky. Yeah, there's nobody in them. And they're desolate wastelands. No, dude, we're all everyone. Only fans is like, yeah, we're just monetizing feet ourselves. Yeah. If you, you know, if you have a fetish, it's just gone. Only fans. It's like, you have to monetize everything. You have to be fully monetized pretty soon. Instead of renting out your house, Airbnb, you'll start renting out family members and giving them to people and be like, you'll move and be like, do you want to,

Starting point is 00:30:53 do you want to traffic my daughter? You could stay at my house. It's run by a management company. And there's also my daughter, there's a management company that handles my daughter to be traffic for a week. We're monetizing our own homes, our lives, our family members. Everything is content. You gotta have a monetization strategy. I mean, if you got nice feet shown. And we're headed towards a big crash. Like this NFT stuff. Heading towards it. You mean we're going to acknowledge it soon. Like what's interesting about the NFT stuff is like, you know, which we are at a T, what do we close at? 10 K. I thought it was going to go for $80 million. Man. What is NFTs? Cause I'm a boomer.

Starting point is 00:31:39 It's a non fungible token. Ben explains this better than I can. It's essentially a type of digital art. Could be video. You know, we're done. We're fucking dealing each other. Imaginary stuff. There's imaginary money. There's imaginary art for a second. Screen grab from your podcast. You explain to Giannis what's happening with digital real estate. Now people are going to own houses online now. Let give Ben a few minutes here. Okay, Giannis. So do you know about the game Decentraland? It's an AI game that people can go in and be literally listen. It's just scary. I'll explain it to you. Like you could go in it. It's like Sims. You remember Sims? Yes. Those games where you could be whoever you want to have a house and a wife. Now people are going in and

Starting point is 00:32:18 buying plots of land within the game for like 80 K to build a home because it's in a prime part of the town to build something on. So people are legitimately going in 100,000 to 200,000. And the NFTs are the art you're going to hang in the fake home. Right. Fungible means it can be replicated or duplicated. Non fungible means it can not. What's going on guys? Like I didn't know about this. So what's going on? That's not... We're moving into the computers. That's not real. We're moving into the game. Because Detroit and Cleveland and Omaha and all these places are garbage. But you can't live in a computer. Yeah, but you could live in a pod. You could have like a little pod and then you just get... And everything of value that you have will be in a computer.

Starting point is 00:32:59 Everything cool. When you take out your phone, you go look at this cool thing I own. It's going to be on your phone and then your house is going to be on a computer because your real house is going to be a tiny little apartment pod or it'll be... Because that's what they're going to do. It'll be mega cities with pods. It'll be green energy. It'll be like you can't own a car anymore. You're not allowed to do that. Can't do this. Can't do that. Whatever it is, the environment, whatever it is, you'll be relegated to a small district nine type of thing. And everything of value that you own and all of your formative experiences are all going to be predominantly digital. The term is digitally native. Kids are digitally native because they grow up on the internet.

Starting point is 00:33:38 Right. Their first boyfriend or girlfriend or friend is on the internet. Right. Everything's the internet. I'm pretty sure they'll probably have sex where they have sensors on right and you can like be in virtual reality. There's going to be sex dollars. Oh yeah, nobody has sex anymore. I mean sex is like, forget it. Like the levels of people having sex is drop dramatic. Everybody's on porn. There's 24 year olds with ED because of porn. They jerk off all day. It's... Someone's like, oh, that's a porn star. You're going, no, that's my teacher. She's just, it's the summer and she's on fans only. Yeah. Only fans. Yeah, whatever it is. I try not to remember any fans only. It's all toxic. I try not to remember it. But I don't know how I'm going to raise my daughter

Starting point is 00:34:20 in this world. I have a daughter now and like I know when she turns five, she's going to sit me down and talk about toxic masculinity and fucking how I'm a patriarch and you know how I need to accept a few people of color into our family. She's going to force me to adopt people. Like I'm scared about what it's going to be like to raise her. I'm going to have to wait for her to choose her gender. It's like if we're letting kids choose their gender at five, why not force them to tell us their politics too? Right. If you're going to choose gender, you should let me know whether you're Republican or Democrat by five. You should do that bet. Yeah. I just did it on your podcast. That's the future. I'm not going to do it on stage. Why would I do it? Look, I'm doing it here now for

Starting point is 00:34:59 more people. I just did it for 18,000 to 19,000 people. I'm not going to go do it for 50 people at the fucking stand. Okay. You know what I'll do? If you want to pay to see me, I'll stand up. Y'all in long days, Patriot. Yeah. And I'll do exactly what Michael Rappaport does, is just make an appearance. I'll just stand up there and just talk to the crowd and say, so what did you do today? I got your hundred bucks in a ticket because you're fans because you heard me on the Tim Dillon show. I'm not learning how to tell jokes anymore. Hey, Yannis, here you go. This is from Bloomberg today. Sofia, the humanoid robot just sold her NFT digital artwork for $688,000 with plans to create more. Wow. So a robot just sold an NFT. Wow. Yeah. I mean,

Starting point is 00:35:38 I know people that can't find a job in the physical world and a robot just sold an NFT for 700K. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, good luck, everyone. Yeah, good luck. And it's also, this is a perfect time for us to be investing trillions of dollars into trying to figure out how to breathe on Mars. Yes. Here we go. We're going to, you know, it's depressive to think of a future of not living on Mars. Here's the problem with Mars. Yeah. You can't breathe on it. Yeah. So we're going to have to figure out a way to send people there. That's the thing with Elon Musk. He just keeps blowing up spaceships in the sky while no one can get vaccinated or healthcare, but we're just blowing up spaceships. Yeah. We can't even figure out how to beat a pandemic. I think it's going to take

Starting point is 00:36:23 a little bit more than a decade to figure out how to colonize a planet you can't breathe on. Yeah. I mean, if you can't breathe on there, you can't grow food there, right? You're going to have to figure out some sort of, they're going to terraform. They'll terraform. They'll figure it out. They'll figure it out. We're going to watch them all leave. Not us, but someone will. Some generation will watch them all go and we'll just still be here and, you know. That's the thing though. Like, I always remember how stupid I am. Yeah. And like, we generally are. Right. Because like, you're right. They will figure it out. They'll figure out a way to grow some shit. Like, to me, it's just like, I'd be like, how do you grow a cheese sandwich?

Starting point is 00:36:59 How do you grow a sandwich? That's what I would say. But I don't even know what terraforming or any of that is. I'm just like, grow me a pizza. Because that's all, that's what I would think you'd have to do to survive on Mars, but they'll figure it out. We had a good run. This was a good run. No, maybe, but maybe they'll escape to a pot on Mars. Oh, they will. Maybe it'll be like, you just, hey, you unmasked Joe Rogan and Kamala Harris and they'll just escape. That's a fun pod. That would be a fun pod. What if Joe had her on? What if the vice president went on his show? And did that maniacal laugh? I just did that maniacal laugh and he confronted her and he said, you put a lot of people in prison and she looked at him and she went, Joe, shut the

Starting point is 00:37:39 fuck up. And he passed her a joint and she started getting high. Like, what? Why not? You know? Like, she goes, Joe, shut the fuck up and she just starts getting high and lifting off. Like, at a certain point it's like, why not? You know? Yeah, she'd go, you know, they'd get high and paranoid and start like, they do, if they did shrooms, be like, he's showing a picture of Big Flood. Like, you're not really African-American. He's like, who cares, Joe? I mean, you're not a journalist either. Okay. You're a fighter. They just start laughing. Yeah, they're just like, it's all the same, dude. I mean, common interviewed Serena recently, you know, the accredited journalist, Common.

Starting point is 00:38:17 Wait, you're interviewed who? Serena Williams. It was just like, and I just saw, it was Common interviewing her. She chose to be interviewed by Common. So like, there is no journalism anymore. It's all Facebook posts. You read an article, there's no different. It's like reading some mentally ill person's Facebook posts. It is true. You do read the LA Times and you go, oh, this is my aunt. This is just my aunt's Facebook page that someone paid for and put in the, I haven't touched a physical newspaper in years. Yeah. No, there, because yeah, you look down, it looks like you were jerking off a coal miner for 10 stops. And then every now and then you'll be in like a hotel in one of these towns you're

Starting point is 00:38:53 performing in and they'll have like some of the Omaha Herald or something there and you're like, who the fuck? How is this still going on? Yeah. How do you even have the budget to print a lot of these local small town papers, which used to do decent journalism, not that one, but some of them did and they're all gone and it's weird. Yeah. Because that's the world we live in now. You can be whatever you want. Like Serena can just say, oh, I want to do a big interview. I'll choose who's going to interview me. It's going to be a rapper who's also an actor. Right. You know, Common. So it's like, all the walls have been broken now. We're living in like an impressionist painting. Like there's just no structure. There's no lines. It's just,

Starting point is 00:39:36 this is just a fucking Justin Pollock. What I did that on purpose. What's next? We disappear into dots. Yeah. To a Syrah. I love those writers or not the writers, the fucking like interviewers were like, what's next? So what's next for you, Tyra Banks? Yeah. I don't know. Another talk show. I just, I'm excited for like, for TV to fucking buy the Tim Dillon show and ruin it. Yeah. I'm excited for like, I want to see, and I haven't seen this yet, like, I want to see like Fallon and Kimmel and people like that start having on air breakdowns, like on air breakdowns where they start losing their mind. I want to see true TV's new lineup.

Starting point is 00:40:25 On air. That's what I'm excited for. Are you? Do you? Well, I mean, we should say a little bit about, you have a new podcast. I have a new podcast. Yes. And it's called Yanni Long Days. Long Days with Yannis Pappas. And it is on YouTube. It's on YouTube. And you can subscribe where? You can subscribe on YouTube, iTunes, Spotify, patreon.com slash Yanni Long Days for bonus episodes, which I do in my bathtub because that's my studio. Just like common is Serena's interviewer. Now, fans have asked on my platforms, is there any chance I have to ask of a history hyenas, either some type of any kind of episodes in the future? I thought you were about to say boxing match. I was going to say reconciliation, but I

Starting point is 00:41:14 don't want to use the term reconciliation because that applies that there's something wrong, but there's nothing wrong. Nothing. So I was just saying, is there a chance? Yeah, we're opening for Ben Askren and Jake Paul. Oh yeah. Okay. That's a good good. That's a great, if you guys wrangled that, that's a great fucking game. We're just going over for that. And it's not a physical fight. It's more of a screaming one. Yeah. But so there will be, I'm kidding. I'm joking. Yeah, of course. And so there's, it's, it's, it's, it's, people still listen old episodes. Yes. History hyenas is up forever. I recommend you come over to long days. We're continuing the tradition of, of, uh, you know, that type of humor, you know,

Starting point is 00:41:52 and, um, it's, uh, come over to hyenas or you can go to, uh, uh, Chris has a podcast, Hey Babe or Chaos. So go to those if you want to listen to us. But yeah, those episodes of history hyenas are up forever, but unfortunately that show ended. Yes. And it was a great show. Great show. And both of you guys are going to do good separately. I mean, Ben, Ben and me are breaking up. Ben's going to do his own show, uh, very soon. And, uh, you know, but we, we will still remain friends. Ben's going to do his own show where he will giggle into a microphone. And I will do my own show. I don't know how to upload anything. So I will just scream at the sky. Scream at the sky would be a great name for a special. Yeah. And I will

Starting point is 00:42:34 scream at the sky and just sit there and figure it out. I don't, Ben literally runs my life to the degree where I don't know how money comes goes in or out of my bank account. I don't know how anything happens without Ben. I would literally have to take a class, like a college course on how to live. Yeah. I just don't have a clue. No, I don't understand how anything works. Ben understands how everything works. And that is what we need more of to create jobs. And that is laziness. So because the jobs can actually be done by one person or a computer, we need to continue to get lazier and lazier and just hire someone to do something else. I agree. Right. Well, you need food tasters. I believe in the division of labor. So I don't, pretty soon you need to

Starting point is 00:43:28 start hiring a full staff to like one person, person cuts your toenails. Yes. The other one, make sure that your rabbit is rare. You like it rare. Yeah. If it's a little past rare, you have someone else you've hired that gets that meat thrown at him. Yeah. And his job is to receive the meat in the face. And that's the way we create a new economy in America. There needs to be, yeah, there needs to be some type of, we don't make anything. And here's the thing, it's hard for us to understand how bad it is because we, you know, it's hard. There's an old Greek expression, you know, the camel can't see his own hump. If you look at every Asian city right now, they look like what our cities used to look like at the dawn of the industrial revolution.

Starting point is 00:44:14 Like it's all relative. People looking up going, wow, now in this tech world, you look at those Asian cities in Malaysia and China, you're going, wow, because they're, they are the result of this era. Whereas our cities are the demise from another one. They're the, it's like, they're like, ours are museums. Right. Our cities are museums. They're not functioning fucking, you know, it's like, there's a two, what is it, one tech hub? It's like Sunnyvale, San Fran, and now Austin's going to be, and the rest of them are just Pittsburgh, which just hipsters running around selling coffee to each other. Yeah. There's no industry here. It's people moving into old factories and making them into like barbecue restaurants. Pretty soon there's going to be white women from

Starting point is 00:45:00 here who are opening up nail salons in China. Yeah. That's going to happen soon. Yeah. Yeah, it's wild. I'm ready to move there and surrender tomorrow. Yeah. Well, we do need China to come in here and kickstart the economy a little bit. Yes. We do need it because I don't think, I don't think people getting drowned is all bad. Truly. Yeah. Truly. I think certain people, well, we can't go down this road because every time we've done a podcast in the past, because this happened, people have unearthed an old podcast we did when your show was Tim Dillon Goes to Hell, where we talked about how we need a plague to come. Wow. That's a great, yeah, and it happened. And then it happened. That's very interesting because we did talk about that. We did talk about,

Starting point is 00:45:46 so when we're joking and saying, hey, China should come here, that might happen. I told you how they're going to come here, dude. They're going to come, they're coming and they're hitting Malibu first. They're setting up their captain's quarters and Reese, Reese Witherspoon's Beach House. And then there's Stormin, Pepperdine and the Hype House. Yeah. They're going to take out Taylor Holden first. And they're Taylor Holder, but how do you know Taylor Holder? Because I watched to talk to find out what the kids are doing. Very good. That was amazing. Yeah. I like the Lopez brothers. I think the Lopez brothers too are in hot water. They're good dancers. What they do not in hot water on Anthony Camilla's network. They are in hot water for talking to teenagers,

Starting point is 00:46:26 underage teenagers. How old are they? The Lopez brothers to me look like they can be anywhere between 15 and 35. I don't know how old they are. They're 23. Yeah. And they were talking to like 13 year olds, right? Yeah. And his younger brother's 19. They danced it off though. They danced it off. No comment. They danced off that criticism. They danced off that criticism. I said, turn off your shoulder. Yeah, because the allegations came and literally the older Lopez brother just doesn't he date Hannah Stocking? She left him because he was trying to talk to a 13 year old. You know more about this than us. I do. You know everything. Yannis just comes in here, says he doesn't know anything. And Yannis knows more about the drama of the TikTok world. Hannah

Starting point is 00:47:12 and Lele are besties. Yes, that's true. They're besties and they both were nerds when they were younger and they loved to post those pictures. We know their old manager or their current manager. Yeah. I mean Hannah Stocking is getting close to 30. Yeah. And I think when she turns 30, she's got a, what do you do? You can't be, can you be, can you be lit on TikTok in your 30s? Well, those are, she's a YouTuber. You can be in your 30s on YouTube. Yeah. You can be in your 30s on YouTube. You know, Jason Nash is sweet guy. He's in his mid 80s. So TikTok is purely pedophilia. Well, if you're on TikTok and you're like an older person, you're either bait or a pedophile. You're doing something. Something's up. I tried to be funny on TikTok for a little bit and then I

Starting point is 00:48:02 just gave up because I was like, I don't have it in me. Even though I was doing these, like we're like, we tried for what, two weeks? Two weeks. Yeah. Two, three weeks. I mean, and then I just said, I don't have it in me. I don't have it in me to like do another one. Like I just don't have it in me. Like I built the Instagram app. We built the Twitter app. I go, I don't have it in me to do another one. I don't have it in me. Right. I feel that way about my podcast right now. Like, oh, I got to do this all over again. Yeah. TikTok was fun for two weeks and that was it. Do you think what's coming next with this podcast boom is that there will be like a Lou Perlman of podcasts who starts putting together like a new kids on the black pack,

Starting point is 00:48:53 like podcasts where he's getting, he gets like one handsome one, one dangerous one, one from this side of the tracks, one closeted gay one. Yeah, I could be. I think the podcast boom is about done. I think it's about over. And I think the good ones will survive. The ones that are funny, the ones that are interesting. But I think the idea that everybody having one or celebrities just having them because they're bored, is that's over. Right. That's going to go away. And I think the people that have been in it for a while that are good at it will stay and they will evolve and they will keep putting out good shit. But I think the idea of a podcast as a vehicle for people is starting to turn. I mean, Ben, you kind of pay a lot of attention

Starting point is 00:49:47 to stuff. What do you think? Yeah, yeah. It's definitely on its way out. There's way too many people with way too many shows. But I will say a lot of those shows are just being ignored as well. So Tim's kind of right. And I know you're joking about getting the ragtag young group of people into the, but no one, it doesn't work. It just doesn't translate. And that's what's going to be interesting after the pandemic is over. Will these big TikTok stars be able to fill arenas with their tickets? No, no, no. No, it's the smart kids. And I know some of them. And I say smart, meaning they're in the right place at the right time and they have apps. I don't mean smart, like they're contemplative geniuses. I mean, like they found a way to parlay that into something.

Starting point is 00:50:32 They're investing in companies now and they're trying, you know, they're launching energy drinks and every week they have a fake company where they're like fizzle pop and they just sell it to the fan base of people and they try to invest in as many companies. And you know, that's what they do because that's the, before TikTok, there were kids on Vine and all of those kids now live intense on the side of the one-on-one or the selling pussy, right? Or whatever they're doing. But like they didn't parlay that fame, which came very quickly and without reason, into anything. And that generation of people just bombed out. Yeah. Well, Danny Dobrik turned it into something. Yeah, Devin Dobrik. Yeah, Devin Dobrik. Donald Dobrik. Yeah. And a complex to

Starting point is 00:51:19 sexual assault is what he turned it into. Yeah. Well, he, but he's, what has he got Ben? How much money do you think he has? David, on there, it says like 10 million, 10, 15 million is his net worth on Google. Hey, that's enough to buy. Yeah, that's enough to buy Thailand. You gotta run. I mean, listen, I don't know. We took, you know, the last episode, we talked about him a little bit. I don't know what, but the smart ones fall back, realize you're not going to be famous forever, start investing in shit. And they try to figure out ways to, you know, you know, keep, keep stacking money. But it, it's a short burn because your fans are 12. Right. So when your fans grow up and get girlfriends and boyfriends and figure out that they're human beings, although maybe that'll never

Starting point is 00:52:02 happen now, you're out with the tic-tac world, just like you were out on Vine, just like a lot of people that were on YouTube were out. Remember like I Fred, Ben, you told us like I Fred on YouTube? He was like big. I remember Fred and he used to do like the fast forwarded voice, right? Like I'm nine. Yeah. Now what happened to Fred? He's done. And he came out of the closet. He's, he's, he did come out of the closet, which was big. How do you know all this, Yannis? Because, um, Yannis pretends he doesn't know anything, but he knows everything. I'm not a person who sits there and reads science books. I'm someone who scrolls on my phone and I'm, my brain has been rotted just the same as everybody else. Now you saw Fred at the Grove. Yeah. At the Grove, wasn't looking

Starting point is 00:52:45 good. This was like 2016, 2017. Just getting ice cream. Well, what's the third act for Fred? There's really not. He's getting blown in his sauna. Right. He's at a, he's at a Russian bathhouse. Yeah. Well, good for him. I mean, that's, that's better than I was. I will say, God bless him. He made like three films, Fred, one, two and three. So, you know, what was Fred three like? Was that starting to get a little weak? Was Fred three stretching a bit? Yeah. Once he developed an Adam's apple and went through puberty, like the gig was up. He had to stop. Yeah. It's a very interesting thing when you think about what happens to, I mean, but somebody like Hannah Stocking, you know, she's very personable. She's funny. She's, you know,

Starting point is 00:53:28 she has nice things about her. I mean, she's not Patrice, you know what I, whenever I say somebody's funny on this, everyone comes at me. She's no fucking funny. Hey, hey buddy, relax. She's not Carlin. Right. She's funny to her fans. Right. And she's a personable young lady who's not young. So I don't know what her gig is. She'll figure it out. Right. She'll get paid. She's doing like a, she does like, when he comes, it keeps going. Yeah. When he comes, you will, we'll keep going until the end. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, just, it's that Charlton Heston quote. You want my gun out of my cold dead hands? You want my followers? Like, you know, they'll be like out of my cold dead hands.

Starting point is 00:54:07 Like these people are not going away until they do. How about like a sequel to Cheers, but it's a CVS pharmacy and everyone knows your name. It's like certain people walking who like pills come in and they just, they have their spot at the bar. They're just, they're just there. By the way, that's all that's left in America. You go in these cities, the only thing you have is pharmacies. Yeah. So many of them out every corner CVS a wall, green, like we chop. Yeah. It's pharmacies are big. Yeah. Big farmers here. Pills are here. Pills are here and, and they got everybody on them. And I feel like, yeah, if you're not taking pills, if you're not taking pills, you're not working at Bucky's.

Starting point is 00:54:52 Well, there'll be, there'll be more vaccines too. It's like, they'll be next year's vaccine. Like, they're not going to stop. They'll be like, they'll be like, they'll be like, that's a whole new industry. Yeah. They'll be like, this is the next vaccine. Here's your booster. You give a, wait till the racism vaccine. That's going to be fun. No, you skip vaccine. It gets your own thoughts. Yeah. Don't think that's not going to come. No, I, I think they're going to figure out a way to also remove testosterone without making you a eunuch. Yeah. Well, big pharma will just come in and go. We found out you have a lot of troubling thoughts and a lot of them are, are, are rooted in systems of oppression. But if you take this pill, you can, you can kind of

Starting point is 00:55:31 be a modern person. And then there'll be certain people who will act out fantasies as the other sex online, but actual trans people in the real world will find out about that. And those will be the new kind of evil people. None of them are trans. It's hilarious. It's like most of these people that are out there talking, it's like, they're not like a person who's transitioned to another gender. They're like a non-binary person, or they're like, a person who's like, I'm just queer and call me this, but you're like, we'll do, like, what have you, like, are you, are you walking the walk? Like at least, well, that's what I'm saying. They will be mad that those people aren't walking the walk and then they'll march against them. I just can't wait because every year some, you know,

Starting point is 00:56:13 gay people now are like your privilege and everything. Soon people will turn on trans people. Soon disabled people will have their day. Right. And then soon it'll be like people will, will, will turn on them. Like everyone will get turned on eventually. Everyone who has, we will turn around to a trans person, a wheelchair eventually and go, you need to acknowledge your privilege and you need to shut your mouth because it'll just, everyone's going to have their day in the sun and then that'll be it. Everyone's getting sort of their 15 minutes of power right now. It's a kind of, instead of 15 minutes of fame, it's like 15 minutes of power. It's like, we can't talk about you. We can't say anything for 15 minutes. And it's like a merry-go-round of

Starting point is 00:56:51 like every single marginalized group is getting a little taste of what it feels like to tell people to shut up. They make people take like posters down for volleyball because it's ableist. Yeah. Had like colleges. Yeah. This is where we're at. It's a, we're in a weird place. They tried to cancel daddy daughter dances. Why? And where I live, they tried to cancel daddy dance. Why? Because the gender, because it's not fair. What if it's a lesbian family? It was all hypotheticals too. Like there is no lesbian family. What if there was two women who had a kid? But who cares? They could go to it. Yeah. I said the one with the short hair, send her. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Who cares? Yeah, I don't, I don't know anymore, man. They've turned gay culture

Starting point is 00:57:32 into this like, unfun thing where you just have to lecture people all the time about what words to say. And it's like, what happened to the fucking and the fun and the drugs? And what happened to like who you are? Who are you past being Asian or gay? Now when you hear anyone open their mouth on television, it's like, you know, it's coming. You know, it's coming like, well, I'm Korean or I'm who just did that. Now, Daniel, Daniel, David Dobrik, who just guessed it. Devin Dobrik. He comes out and he had some funny jokes with the first line. He goes, I'm black and I'm brilliant. He was like, it's the first thing you got to say. He's the first thing you got to say is Kaluya. Yeah. From my black panther or something, right? Yeah. The black, Judas and the black

Starting point is 00:58:17 Messiah Oscar nominee. Okay. Was he in black panther or my racist? I think he was. Yeah. Okay. But yeah, the first thing is I'm black and it's like the first thing you got to say is like, hey, I'd have to, if I was hosting SNL, I'd have to walk out and go, I'm gay. Yeah. There's no value in having it easy. You have to be able to sell that you had it hard and some make believe away because things are so, that's sort of the flaw in freedom is that we're free to complain, right? Right. Like the us saying how wrong things are is evidence of how great things are because we're allowed to say how wrong they are. I think Lorne Michaels should nuke SNL at the end, like when he's right about to go out and just do one real good one. Have Louis, like everyone back. Yeah,

Starting point is 00:58:58 that's a great idea. Just nuke it with one really good show that everyone will complain about and hate and then just end it. Yeah. End it, end it, end it. Just do one good one. He's never gotten sick of that show. I mean, he's going on. What is it now? How many years? I think like 45. 45 years, man. 45 years. He owns a piece of almost everybody who's gone through there after a certain era. He makes them all sign a contract before they audition. Any movie they do, anything they do, he just stole someone else's catch. Like they don't, they don't have any, it's the end. Yeah. It's like everybody submits a writing packet to that. It's all urban night at a club. It's, you know, they're about to get shut down by the community

Starting point is 00:59:40 board and they're, they're getting their last, that's what it is. That's what TV is. It's urban night at the club. That's what clubs do right before they get closed down. They cash in as much as they can. It is very true. And that's why they're going like, you know, we're doing a Hispanic show. That's what clubs do. We're doing black night. We're doing Hispanic night. That's right before it closes because that's the last, that's the last kind of shtick pitch. Open mics and yeah, that's the last thing. I'm just going to Florida. I just want to live in Florida. There's something nice about Florida. I don't know what it is, a dirty swamp and everybody's accepted that life is hell. And there's just something nice about that. Florida, not Miami

Starting point is 01:00:21 either. Not that shtick. I don't want to go there. I'm not trying to do that, but like the parts of Florida that get it. I love Miami. I like it too, but it's too, people there believe that things are going to be like, I'm talking like, I want to go somewhere where people get like, they're either on a golf course or they're drunk at 4pm staring at their wife going, who's going to drop first? Like Miami's just, everyone's got their tits out and everybody's like, let's, we're making history and you know, who's got the time for that? No, but the thing about Miami that's great is there's very little wokeness. It's all superficial. Well, that's why you need coke and fucking. Yeah. You need people to go on drugs and fuck each other. Otherwise,

Starting point is 01:01:03 if you take sex out of the equation and tell everyone that they can't get, can't like, you know, what it starts to happen is like, I've seen gay people now are miserable. Remember when gay people used to be happy? They used to fuck? Yeah. Now they're miserable. Gay people like, you know, what I've been feeling is that, and it's like, why are you so upset? You should be happy. Remember the Gerardo bid? He's like, I'm a little, I want gay guys to get married because I'm a little sick of their carefree lifestyles being tan. It's, we've thrown it into a misery. It's like a miserable, and there's no, the discrimination is, is no longer real. I mean, yeah. Okay. So, okay. Somebody in Arkansas said you were faggot because you wore a dress to

Starting point is 01:01:42 Chick-fil-A. Okay. Yeah. Sorry. Bad shit happens. Bad shit happens. People have small minds, but, but also like the discrimination has gone down. It's gone really, really down. And so, instead of celebrating that, we've invented pretend discrimination, fake discrimination, and gay people are now just miserable. They're miserable people. Yeah. And they're miserable people and they don't even, they're not getting married. Like everybody fought for marriage and they're like, fuck that. We're not even going to do that. And they're like, well, we want to be able to adopt kids. How many of them are doing that? Nobody's even doing that. So they go, let's just be miserable. And then they're like, well, let's not go out and fucking have fun.

Starting point is 01:02:23 Let's go and tell everybody that what pronouns should be in their bio and they should apologize for imperialism and everything like that. And it's like, how long do you have on this planet? How long do you think you have on this planet? How miserable do you want it to be? Yeah. I just made me think that Woody Allen documentary was probably the worst advertisement for adoption. I mean, he has done horrible things for adoption. People are now going, I would adopt this kid, but I don't want it to fuck my boyfriend. She adopted eight kids from... Yeah, just by the numbers, one of them was going to fuck Woody. She adopted like a Thai sex party. I mean, she adopted, am I wrong? Like she adopted a Thai,

Starting point is 01:03:11 you know, what do you think is going to happen? Yeah, with every new adopted rescued Cambodian, she increased the chances that her boyfriend was going to fuck one. She's like, Woody, meet the new one, Fung Ling. Meet Fung Ling. I mean, he has really hurt. There's a lot of kids who could be rescued from the jungle, but now people have been second thoughts because they don't want their husband to fuck one of those things. Me and Farrow in that doc, and Woody's probably guilty, right? He seems guilty, but looks guilty. He looks all guilty. He looks like a guy who's coveting your daughter. It's like every movie made is about that, but me and Farrow in that documentary also looks really bad. Like, did no one at the adoption agency, I guess because

Starting point is 01:03:51 she's rich, no care, but did anyone go, do you need an eighth? Like, did anyone stop her and go, how many of these are you going to do here? What are you going to do? It's sort of like she needed a bartender to say, you've had enough. Yeah. Cut her off. Yeah. Cut her off. Cut her off at the eighth sex slave she adopted and brought over here. Yes. I mean, you can't just keep continue, you can't keep continuing to adopt endlessly in perpetuity. You need to build a wall at some point and close the border. Build a wall around your own family. Yeah. I think Texas may soon build a wall against Californians. Yeah. I mean, it's like a real fucking, you know, and it's funny because they are, all of them are living here and collecting California unemployment, which is

Starting point is 01:04:39 hilarious. Everyone's like secretly collecting California unemployment with the pandemic ends. New York in LA will retain their prominence, I think to a degree, but I also believe that like because the world is so decentralized now, there is going to be a little shift. And I don't know how big that shift is going to be. It's anyone's guess. But I do think people, people are tired of, but New York is amazing. liberals. California is amazing. But people are also just tired of the idea. Those two cities are amazing ideas that aren't functioning right now in the way like, it's like New York's like, if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. But the, but it's like, yeah, but you can't make it here. And also California's got no point at where it's like,

Starting point is 01:05:23 it's such the difference between the California, you know, from TV and movies and the real California is such a stark contrast that people are starting to go, Hey, fuck this shit. Fuck this. Like, what is this? We're getting robbed here. And we're not getting anything out of it. And this place is an idea. And the idea is now a bad idea. Yeah. And a lot of the laws in these liberal places now, unfortunately are just being written by sort of utopian notions. Well, it's like ideas. Yeah, it's like, uh, yeah, it's like, uh, like you told me there's a law in California. You can't shoot someone if they enter your house. If you can't prove that you tried to run away, you gotta run away if they try to kill you. Yes. So I mean, that's so you could get sued or go to jail for

Starting point is 01:06:08 killing someone who broke into your house. We have people in Congress right now that think we should abolish not, not defund, which is also retarded, but for other reasons, but like abolish any type of police. Are you talking, when you say people in Congress, are you talking about the squad? Well, people like that, but there's other people out there. There's more than just those four. And there are people that go, we should just send social workers out to like the scene of a brutal rape or whatever. And I know everyone's going to be like, no, but cops don't do anything for rape. It's like, sure, but let's say they saw one in progress. I think some of them would do something. And the idea that a social worker is going to be able to help when social work is like

Starting point is 01:06:48 a pretend job. I think we should do it though. Let it go for a year. Just make sure it's filmed. Let the purge happen. Yeah. Just want to see it. Let just make sure we can see the social worker show up in his khaki shorts or his khaki pants with his spare topsiders or just some old fat black woman who shows up with a clipboard and starts asking questions and ask if they have symptoms or what medications they're on. And have they heard of FEMA and can we get you know, section social work? It's like every like person I know who had had no clue, like got into social work or psychology, which is the other thing that like I asked people like, what are you studying in your psychology? I'm like, oh, you have no, you have no clue. I worked in social work and there's

Starting point is 01:07:39 two types of social workers, at least in the cities, at least in New York. It's like like church going black women, right? Who like, you know, who do good. And then the other is like the stupidest child in a Jewish family. Right. Like he might have got dropped or something. And he's just open-hearted and he wears khakis and he has like sensible shoes with rubber soles. Right. And he's got three shirts. Yeah. Yeah. And he's just, he always has a rash. And he just shows up. He just shows up and they just, you just always, you're always filling out like what medications are on and just asking questions. What medications are you on? Right. And you just, you never fix anything because you can't. Right. That's the thing that people don't understand.

Starting point is 01:08:29 You can't fix it. You just kind of are there to have a job. What medications? Yeah. Just, you're just constantly asking what medications you're on. Yeah. And if we should change that. And then once in a while, you get a coffee mug thrown at your head and you call 911. And nothing's fixed. Yeah. Nothing can, nobody gets better. None of the therapies work. You know, I worked in an SRO and, you know, we took homeless people up the street and then what those people did who had apartments in the street is they started bringing garbage in from the street into their apartment. This is true story. They wanted to live in the street. They enjoyed, some of them would disappear and live on the street for a little bit. Right. And

Starting point is 01:09:12 then you'd ask them what medications they were on and then it would be next Tuesday. Yeah. And you'd ask them what medications they were on. Yeah. It's, mental health care in this country is really just a non-event. No one cares. Yeah. I mean, my point is, is like social workers, it's a very noble job. Everyone should do it. It should be like a college credit. You learn a lot. It gives you empathy. It lets you know that some mental illness, a lot of times makes people lose their jobs also or live on the street. Also, no family. A lot of us don't realize like without family, if your family disappears, there's a good, not, not everyone's just going to be a pull your up by, pull yourself up by your own bootstraps type of independent. Nobody's going

Starting point is 01:09:54 to be, not everyone's P-ditty who's going to create his own fucking, you know. But no, that's what the libertarians they go, yeah, man, we're going to. Hey, just start a paper wrap or figure it out, start a job. Yeah. You know, nobody, everyone does it on their own. Some of the ideas are like, yeah, that would have been good had that been what we started at. We're here now. So, explain to me. If Lewis J. Gomez didn't start gas digital, I mean, yeah, Dave Smith will be yelling about libertarian values into a cup. Right. And Lewis is amazing. Lewis is an accessory. Lewis is one of those guys who like can do it. But so many people in the world can't do it. Everyone needs a little help is my point. Like,

Starting point is 01:10:30 it's not that sort of ideal that just pulls you up. Even billionaires. Yes. And that's, I think billionaires, they need people to rob. That's why the government gives all these big realtors in New York, all these development companies in New York City, they give them tax abatement so they can build condos and try back up with floating bathtubs. That's important. It's just super important to have people have a shower with 19 heads in it. And, and, and don't worry. Don't think that the tent cities are a problem. I think we need limestone and, you know, Venetian marble flown in and the tenses, give them addresses. They should just fucking get mail. That's what's going to happen. You know, it was a problem. I knew things were

Starting point is 01:11:12 like taking a turn when like people were starting to say things in New York. They were going like, this house is $20 million. They go, but it's not yet in the ultra luxury market. And I'm like, wait a minute, what is the ultra? And they're like, well, that's 50 million and above. I'm going, and then you look at who's buying these apartments. It was all like dictators and blood money and fucking people that poisoned rivers and Zambia, people that were wanted at the Hague for war crimes. But those are people that get things done. Yeah. They do things. That's why I point, I was making about social workers is like kids who've never done social work don't understand that empathy is in perpetuity. It never ends. You show up every day and how do you feel? Tell me how you're

Starting point is 01:11:56 feeling? What are your medications? You know, tell me how you feel and all is that never ends. Right. At some point you have to go, what are we going to do? Right. And that's not what social workers do. Right. They never go, what are we going to do? They always go, tell me about your feelings. What medications are you on? So it's like, at some point you need a cop to do something. At some point you need force or an action to move something. You can't just perpetually be empathetic. Nothing gets done if everyone's just talking and making sure everyone's okay. That's a good point. Yeah. Yanni long days. Yanni fucking long days. What I'm trying to say is replace even, not go, we shouldn't replace cops with social workers. We should replace social

Starting point is 01:12:40 workers with more cops. Yeah. We should get rid of the social workers and give them more cops. Yeah. Yeah. I think someone should walk in and put a gun on the table. That would be funny if that was the counter-march instead of like defund the police. We're like, no, don't replace the social workers with more cops. Militarize the social workers. Militar. Give the social workers guns. Yeah. Give them guns. Give them guns. That's a good idea. Give them a badge and guns and just swear them in like a western town. Those old black women and those unsuccessful Jewish guys guns. Deputize those social workers now. Yanni, tell people where they can find you. They could find me on unemployment. No.

Starting point is 01:13:31 They could find me, if anyone asks, named Rogan in Austin. Now you can find me on Twitter, you know, Instagram, you know, just listen to long days. I hope you guys come over and start listening to the podcast. And just, yeah, you can subscribe to it on iTunes or Spotify or you could watch it on YouTube. Yannis was the guy, we did, this is hilarious. We did say a plague, like we needed a plague. Yeah. That was crazy. It was crazy. And people were sending it to me going, holy shit, you guys called what was happening. I thought they were like fucking around. Then I watched it. I'm like, oh no, they're deadly, serious. Another thing they're sending me recently is somebody posted a live in Gotham set I did

Starting point is 01:14:14 where I apparently said in the year 2022, I said in the joke, 2022 China, China is going to attack. So they're saying that I'm saying that if they attack in 2022, I called it in a live in Gotham joke. Well, I think you, I think you called it two years late. Yeah. I think this was it. I think there's going to be an HR meeting at the Tim Dillon show. I think for that joke. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for listening. We appreciate it. Tim Dillon, Ben Avery, go follow Yannis Pop. It's Yanni Long Days on YouTube, Patreon, everywhere you get podcasts, and we will see you soon. Thank you.
