Okay, I am here and you are here.
And today's episode is brought to you by Grey Block Pizza.
And Grey Block Pizza is a special pizza establishment.
The kind of place when you get there, oh, you're going to have a good time.
It's at 1811 Pico Boulevard in Los Angeles on the way to the beach.
Grey Block Pizza.
Get that hitter.
It's getting real.
It's getting real out there, isn't it?
Some lady at the market was yelling, if you keep your sunglasses on it can't get it.
It can't get in through your eyes.
And people are like, look, bitch, chill out, okay?
I'm trying to get the last peach over here.
And she's like, if you keep your sunglasses on, it can't get in through your eyes.
And I'm trying to figure out how to make a dinner when all they got left in the store
is two bottles of sparkling water, you know, some Perrier and a box of juja fruits.
I'm trying to figure out, okay, can I finesse that enough to trick the kids into thinking
this is some kind of gum drop soup or something.
And this bitch is in a, if you keep your sunglasses on, the virus can't get in through your eyes.
So we won it at all and we got it.
This is it.
And let's make the most of it.
This is Spencer Jacob Grau with Celebrate.
Celebrate Mary, celebrate misery, you know that soon we're gonna die, let's have some
fun while we all die, celebrate our days, celebrate all your pain, all the gupt
that music, huh?
Nice to have a little beat, nice to have a little beat to get you through something.
Nice to have a little beat to get you through something.
Hope everyone finds themselves well.
Check in, check yourself.

I just really wanted to get your take on how we're going to beat this coronavirus because
there's a bunch of them out there, gang gang, love your podcast, kiss me through the week,
really appreciate you brother, keep doing your thing.
Well thank you for the question Garrett, or Garot, and look man, can we beat it?
Bob the Builder, can we beat it?
Yes we can brother.
Yes we can beat this.
I mean there's a lot going on with it.
First of all, yes, I believe that the media has made it out of proportion.
Okay, I think they've made it bigger.
I think people, you know, some of the networks use it as a tool.
There's a lot of fear tactics.
I do think that.
I also think that you got to be, you got to play ahead of the ball game.
If this is that grim reaper, if this is that dirty daddy that's going to freaking hide a
knife inside of your, inside of your spleen, then yeah, you have to, you have to, this
is the only way to do it, is to warn people in advance and have them prepare in advance.
You can't let things like, part of my brain says, you know, let's get a couple people
to die, you know, let a people, you know, people, if people die, then we will see, okay,
this thing is for real.
You know, right now it just sounds like the flu and not even as bad as the flu.
But if there's the propensity for it to get extremely dirty, then, then they have to do
it this way.
They have to warn, they have to warn everybody now they have, because once it gets too late,
it would be hysteria.
So really the way that things are being done, I think is the only way to do it.
Now with that said, some people are losing their shit, bro.
Like I was in the elevator in my apartment building, and I could tell I hadn't seen my
neighbor in a while, because I was in, and, you know, was out of the country, I was in
Maui.
And I hadn't seen him in, so he, I could tell he had his kid in his arms, they just came
back from the park, and he's a nice guy, we really get along well.
But I could tell this time there was a little bit of like, okay, let's see who's got it.
You know, let's show, you know, let's show our, let's show our bumps, let's see who's
got it.
And I could just tell, man, that any, that anything could be something else that was
a little different.
He didn't really stay and communicate as long, I was a little bit uncertain.
So some people are doing it like that.
Also went and got a Vietnamese massage, bro, or thigh.
I got a thigh massage.
And look, I don't care what's going on, dude, for $35 an hour, I'll let a thigh dude beat
my ass up in the back, you know, beat my, you know, beat the, you know, beat the grist
a lot of my neck.
And that's what I got.
I mean, I got that thing.
And he said it was slow in there.
And I thought, honestly, I thought the dude had been gay, I've been going there for about
a year.
And, you know, a little bit more on the boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, but boys side.
But he showed me a picture of his wife and child.
And I was like, oh, wow.
You know, he was showing me something on his phone and, and then I saw a picture of a kid.
I said, you got a child.
He said, yeah, I got the child.
So, you know, I had to, you know, I just, I said, all right, man, I gave him a nice tip
and just, I think that's one thing we can do is be supportive of people that we know are
working in like industries where we just got to, we got to even things out.
This is a way to help each other survive.
You know, it's like right now, if you have a little bit extra of something, it's a good
time to share it.
It's a good time for to look in people's eyes and, and, you know, I think find the humanity.
I think all of us in some ways is a real opportunity for humanity right here.
But on the other side, man, this shit is getting risky.
Shit's getting risky, man.
It could get, it's like, you know, it just could go either way.
I'm going to get Nick right here in the studio and we're going to talk about it a little
bit more, man.
So I'm not driving alone because hell, people are so, uh, this social distancing.
I mean, it's hard enough.
It's hard enough to get a couple of bitches to hang out with you.
And now, even if you do get a chick to hang out with you, y'all got to be six feet apart.
So now you got to get one of those little like, uh, you know, you got to get some of
those, you know, those cafeteria mittens with the plastic ones.
If you want to touch a breast or do a, um, a butt rub or body rub.
So I think it's, you know, it's two things.
It's that yes, it could be overreaction.
At the same time, the only way to, to be in front of a, of a drastic disease is to overreact.
You know, you got to plan ahead.
You have to, there's no other, because if you plan behind, damn it, sorry.
If you plan behind, then that's not, there's no way to do it.
And that's no way really to do anything.
You have to plan ahead.
And with this many people alive at, you know, I'm just, it made me think a lot of things.
It was like, uh, it made me think like, wow, we're, we're, we're, it just changed.
Uh, suddenly everything really got real slow.
I felt like in everything got a lot smaller.
It was like, okay, we're, we're just okay.
Where people were unsure, like, yeah, whenever that, that, that thing with my neighbor, it
was just like, okay, we usually would kind of shake hand or communicate longer or shake
a hand or touch each other's hand real fast even.
But we, this time there was a little bit of a little just, you know, it was like a kind
of square dancing, but this shit, we, we wouldn't square with each other.
It was a little bit more dosey dough, but, uh, but dosey don't at the same time, you
know it.
And I will say this though, in Maui, they did have one haircutting guy who works on
the hair.
He works on the main strip in this town called Paya, Paya, and Paya, look, if you are missing
or someone you know is missing or is missing, yeah, that's where they are.
Okay.
Paya, they got a lot, you'll see a dude wearing snow gear.
You know what I'm saying with, uh, you know, going by an escape ward at 200 miles an hour
and you'll see somebody else riding doing piggyback, you know, riding piggyback on a
zombie over there and eating half of an orange bro and splitting it with an owl.
They got some real, they got some people up on that dust, baby.
They got a lot of dust bears out there, but they had a man over there and he was cutting
hairs.
I walked in because I have hair.
So I walked in and, uh, he's at, and he was giving me, oh, he didn't, I went to shake
his hand and introduce myself and he gave me the, uh, elbow, like kind of put his elbow
out, you know, as if like ever shaking somebody's hand that doesn't have a hand or arm or bottom
half of their arm and they just give you their elbow and you just kind of hold it for a second.
He did like that.
He's like, oh, we got to be careful with the virus.
And then he told me to come back later that day.
He wanted to cut my hair.
I'm like, bitch.
You ain't cutting my hair, dude.
If you won't shake my hand, you think I'm going to let you put your thick, grisly mitts,
bro?
And this was a thick dude.
This was a thick dude.
I think he seemed like kind of guy would honestly even have a little bite on my hair.
He seemed like that kind of creepy dude while he's back there cutting and he was cut a little
bit off and have it for himself, you know, a little bit of head jerky.
Just have a, you know, half a gram of your own of a sideburn or something.
But yeah, so there's fear of the virus.
There's a lot of things going on.
There's fear.
There's reality.
The reality, the numbers don't stack up for me in the reality department.
You know, it's like it's killing less people than, than something normally would kill.
And then this is what I don't like the news does.
The news does this shit.
They say, oh, a lot of elderly people are dying from it and a baby has it.
That's what they always do.
Oh, a baby has it.
Oh, a baby has it.
And then in the newsroom, though, though, somebody will press a button and you'll hear
like a baby cry in the back.
Just like the way they add in sound effects, you know, and a lot of elderly people have
been dying from it.
And also outside of Minnesota, a baby has it.
You're like, what?
Because that's where they hook you every time.
That's the fish hook.
A baby has it.
That's how the news always gets you when they say, a baby have the virus.
And then you're like, but what do we know about this baby?
Because they never show the baby.
What do we know about this baby?
Is this baby a legit baby?
You know what I'm saying?
Is he small and incapable?
Or is this a fucking baby that's, you know, he was with the union for a few years and
then he jumped over to picket lines and he's been smoking.
He doesn't give a shit about himself.
He's got two other little babies of his own.
Who is this baby?
Because don't just hook me with the baby line.
You know, I'm just so sick of the bait and switch of the, of the, oh, you know, hook
me with this, you know, use whatever they can to get me to believe it.
Oh, a baby has it.
What kind of baby is this a baby who shaves and stuff?
Is this a baby who wearing turtlenecks and doing, uh, have gold wristlets?
Who is this baby?
Who is he?
Is this some little Italian baby, huh?
Is this baby been punching and beating his wife at night?
I just want to know what's going on here.
You know what I'm saying?
I just, I just, I want more, I want real information and you can't get real information.
Now the news, no, that's a, it's just such a crazy time for something like this because
who believes the news and people are like the world, the world health order, the center
for disease control, but then other shit starts coming in.
You know, Tremains, uh, virus hut.com slash data and people sharing that link.
Well, what the fuck is that?
Who's Tremain?
You know, it just, it's just, there's a lot of false information, man.
There's a lot of false information.
So I think we just have to trust our instincts.
You know, I think it goes back to that and we're getting to definitely put you back more
in like a vital place, you know, I'm a little bit more concerned with who, what's going
on with me?
Am I healthy?
Am I taking care of myself?
It, because look, we've been sucking.
We've been sucking on the sweet salami of comfort for a long time here in America.
We've been just riding on the sugar sleigh of softness.
We're soft, man.
People have shirts.
We have shirts and jackets.
People have shirts, jackets, hoodies and ear muffs.
Are you okay in there little buddy?
Are you okay?
We've been living a soft existence and there's two, you know, halves to every coin, baby.
And that's why you know something.
The other side of the hammer is going to hit you in the head.
And that's what some of this is.
It could be mother nature saying, all right, all right, y'all going to, y'all want to
do all the juice boxes and fantasy football.
Then I'm about to show up.
I'm about to show up with my big tits and show y'all who is boss.
That could be what's going on.
Let's see if I can get Nick in here.
I want to just get a group thought on it.
We're also going to get into the calls about heaven.
We had responses to what different people's heaven is.
We had responses to the dating cousin dating and how that looks and how that plays out
if you get involved in it.
So we want to get into some of that and also want to let you know that today's episode
brought to you by blue chew.
But before that, also want to let you know happy St. Patrick's day this week.
And I knew shit was getting real because on the irish times.com, which I believe is a
reliable Irish website out of Dublin, coronavirus government calls on all pubs and bars to close.
And that is as of yesterday.
So you know, something's going on when the irish are setting down their cups.
Today's episode is brought to you by and sponsored by blue chew.
Remember the old days when you were always ready to go?
Remember that?
Remember running down the hallway and just you fall down and just you just get back up
and you're erect.
Remember that?
After that, you'd be outside and a bird would come and just land on your wiener.
Oh, remember that blue chew.com.
That's blue, like the color blue.
You can increase your sexual performance and get that extra confidence in bed with blue
chew.
Blue true brings you the first chewable with the same FDA approved active ingredients is
Viagra and Cialis.
You can take them anytime.
Do it at wherever you're going to jail.
Top one, bruh.
You know what I'm saying?
Nobody, no straight men are going to beat up the guy in jail who has an erection.
Not going to happen.
Show up hard, baby, and do your time.
You can take them day or night and take them on a full stomach.
You just had half a pizza.
Who gives a damn, bruh?
Get erect.
And since they're chewable, they work up to twice as fast as a pill so you can be ready
whenever an opportunity arises.
Dude, you want to jump out of a moving vehicle and hopefully bang somebody by the time your
body comes to being still from rolling from the inertia, take one, jump out.
They act fast.

Oh, yo, remember the guy that I hitchhiked with?
I picked up last time that hitchhiker.
I saw him again.
My boy Josiah out there and Maui.
I met a beekeeper out there, a man that runs an apiary.
They made me that beautiful bread.
Somebody got me a nice hat.
What else?
Half the staff over there by the four seasons, a lot of beautiful fellows and young men out
there, ukulele bad boys.
They showed up.
Just a lot of people.
A lot of just, I met just so many nice people.
It was just, it was special.
Let's get Nick in here.
Hey, Nick.
Can you hear me?
Yeah, I got it, man.
Thanks for coming in, bro.
Hell yeah.
Yeah.
We're just talking about the coronavirus and what's going on and let's get into some
of the calls that came in, man, and then I'm going to get into the heaven responses and
stuff about coven.
People dating, family dating within the family.
Cool.
All right.
Let's get into a couple of these calls.
Hey, Theo.
This is Dan from Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
Love the show.
I'm 29 years old.
I've been with my current wife for about three years now.
We met in college.
We've been together for almost nine years.
Things have been going really great.
I thought we had a really normal life.
A couple of months ago, we started trying for a family and things really went to shit
around that.
She really started getting distant.
She eventually told me that she never wanted a family.
She went back on birth control behind my back and long story short, she ended up cheating
on me with one of her coworkers.
Jesus Christ.
Sorry, brother.
Sorry to interrupt your life there with the Lord, but it sounded like you could use a little
of it.
Oh.
She's about to burn his house down.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm afraid to listen anymore of this call, man.
I hope you're staying safe out there from the virus.
And then she recently moved out of our house and we're currently, it's been separated for
about a couple of months now.
So I've had a few months, a couple of weeks now to think about everything and I'm just
really, really confused on kind of like where to go next in my life.
I don't know if I want to give her a second chance or if I just kind of want to move on
with my life since we have such fundamental differences on what we.
Yeah, man.
I'm going to even just going to, I think you just have to move on.
Do not give that woman a second chance.
Yeah.
Dude, a second chance for you is a last chance.
A second chance for her is a last chance.
This could be, bro, you could be calling from an ICU next time.
You could be calling from a BVU, burn victim unit.
You could be calling from a fire.
I mean, you could be calling.
Yeah, man.
I don't think that lady, I don't think that lady wants to be around you, dude.
Not in a bad way.
You sound like a good guy, but it seemed like she, if she's seeing somebody else, she doesn't
want a family.
And what else did she do?
Those are the big two, but I mean, it sounds like she lied to him for years about wanting
to have a family.
Yeah.
Um, even, even if she didn't cheat, which is like a pretty horrible thing to do is someone
you care about, uh, the fact that he wants kids and she doesn't, I feel like is an initial
deal breaker.
Yeah.
That's it, man.
That's a deal breaker because otherwise then you're going to have to be pretending that
kids are yours when you're at the park.
You're going to have to be, you're going to have to get a dog and name it like a kid name.
You know, here's Mark, our dog, you know, uh, so that kind of shit is going to be a way
buzzkill.
You know, you can have a kid's room and nobody, you're not going to have anybody in there.
You're going to go sleep in there sometimes at night.
That shit's going to be, it's a downhill life.
You're looking for, you're looking into.
So I think your best move is to move on, man.
Um, uh, let's take this next one.
Here we go.
See ya.
This is the Kratom King calling.
Just quit my job.
Don't have another job lined up.
Kratom King calling and Kratom is that thing.
It's kind of a bootleg drug kind of.
Is this Chen?
Did Chen quit King and the Stink?
I don't know.
That's a good call.
He's the first person I ever heard doing, doing a lot of Kratom.
Was he really?
Mm-hmm.
Wow.
He looks the same.
I guess he looks.
Yeah.
He looks, he looks, I mean, he could be on it, I guess.
You can't tell when people are on it, I guess.
Mm-hmm.
Fucking trying to get into like other things.
The only thing I was wondering, what are some moments that you have had that just sort of
like push you to your edge and you had to do something different?
And did you know that it was time for a change?
Yeah, man, thanks for the call, brother.
I think, well, you got to be working, you know, you always have to be working, I think.
You know, I used to live with a fellow for a friend of mine for a while and his dad used
to eat tostitos and stuff at night and he wouldn't, you know, ever really talk to us
and stuff and he played tennis a lot.
But he always say, he said, you have to have a job.
You got to be working.
So the rest of your stuff, you can kind of figure that out, you know, you can decide
within that world of having some sort of occupation what you want to do.
But first I would go get a job and then I would make a decision on what you want to
do because that's really the only way that it works.
You can't really do it the other way because then you're just not doing shit.
You're just kind of thinking about doing stuff and you'll feel better too once you have a
job, once you start showing up for a little bit of time, a little bit of commitment to
work and having to do stuff, you're going to feel a little bit more like you'll just
feel a little more inspired.
So I feel like that's what I'll do.
You think that's what he's talking about?
Yeah, I just kind of agree.
It was a bad, probably a bad move to impulsively quit your job without something else lined
up.
Although ironically I did that when I moved out here.
You did?
Yeah, I just kind of quit and moved out here.
Where were you working at?
It was called Meister MMA.
It was a guy, he imported sporting goods from overseas and they branded him as his own mixed
martial arts equipment.
That's actually when I got into mixed martial arts because I would sell to gyms and stuff.
And it was cool, but it was just like low ceiling.
I was like this guy's first employee, he started a business, he's killing it.
If you go on Amazon, you search hand wraps at Meister MMA is the number one thing that
comes up.
He crushes.
And so I did a lot of shipping and then also cold calling to gyms because we had wholesale.
So it was cool, I really liked it.
But it was just like, I don't know, I went to college for four years and it just didn't
seem like a future.
I would always be like this guy's number two, whereas I don't think he was more motivated
to have a lifestyle brand where he had something just going, he could kind of live his life.
He wasn't trying to grow some huge conglomerate.
So yeah, I just-
So it was a ceiling for you?
Yeah.
Yeah, I think man, you got to get into a place where at least you have a ceiling first and
then find a different avenue.
If you want to chase a dream, I think that's fine, but you just have to be doing it.
So I think when do you get to a place where you kind of met your edge?
Well, I mean, I think getting to that place and when you're working and staying busy is
a better place to be there than trying to find that place right now when you're not
working.
One thing I did when I was working at the job and I was just searching for something
I was really passionate about, I got a job at Acme Comedy Club in Minneapolis on nights.
I mean, it paid like minimum wage, you were just a doorman, but like I didn't meet people
kind of in the industry that I still now will cross pass with and like that was an immediate
future.
Like I wasn't going to go with Acme, but I went towards my passion kind of and then
I didn't notice at the time it didn't lead to something directly, but now because I did
that back in the day, it has helped going forward.
So I think just always trying to be around things you care about, even it's not exactly
what you're trying to do.
Yeah, that's a great point, man, yeah, if there's something that you're really passionate
about, if you know what that is, then yeah, maybe start somewhere small within that world.
You can definitely get somewhere big within that world, sometimes it just, yeah, getting
close to the world.
He could work at a head shop that sells Kratom.
Yeah, there you go, man.
Yeah, you're the fucking Kratom king, dude.
What do you mean, bro?
You know, get a lawn mower and go cut a crop, bro, and sling a few sacks.
All right, let's take another call.
What's up, Theo?
It's Caleb here in Oklahoma, man.
I was going to ask you, I'm also sober, I've been sober for four years on March 22nd, but
where do you go to meet women now in sobriety, like, you know, I don't go out to the bar
anymore, and, I don't know, man, it's just kind of hard to be in your mid-30s, single
and trying to stay sober, so.
Well, look, brother, congrats on the sobriety and congrats on working that path.
I think the, I think options are, as you know, options are places where there's other people,
you know.
You know, you got to try, like, church is good, you know, if you like, or some sort
of religious environment, yoga, gym.
You know, a gym is sometimes, like, just like a bar, but with no liquor, really, you know,
and some of them have TVs, but, you know, maybe through a friend, or meet a sober woman,
go to some mixed meetings, I know it's not as easy, but I think the value of the person
that you'll meet, the actual connection, could really be there, because then you otherwise
you meet somebody at a bar, it's just, I mean, the truth, I think, is, you know, I ended
up meeting who I was brave enough to meet, that's what it was, if, like, like, I feel
like you end up with the girl you're brave enough to talk to, that's what I feel like
a lot of times, so you could be brave enough anywhere, you could be brave enough at a bar,
you could be brave enough on a street, you know, go up to a girl and say, hey, what's
going on, you know, or you, you know, do you know somebody, you know, a guy named Patrick,
and she's like, yeah, I think so, and then to start talking to her, the first part is
that hardest part, how to break that ice, so, Nick?
Yeah, I mean, that's great advice, like, just using that.
Is it?
I think so.
Okay.
What you said about, like, the girl that, like, you meet that pushes you to, like, go
out on a limb, I think that, it'll happen because you're that motivated, also, I'll
say the apps, I think it's easier for a guy on those dating apps to find a relationship
rather than just a hookup than it is a girl to find a real relationship, like, because,
like, most guys on there are just going for the easy hookup, so if you are the guy that's
looking for the relationship, girls who are looking for a relationship will gravitate
towards you.
That's a good point.
Girls just completely, they're just constantly accosted by just dudes who want to hook up,
so they probably give up, but the ones that are there are, and go on, like, more hinge
than Tinder.
Okay.
Yeah, Tinder seems dangerous.
A lot of hookers on there and robots and everything they said.
What else, man?
Let me get into one more call here while we got Nick here.
Hey, Theo, it's Jason from Southern California.
What's up, Jason?
Thank you for hitting us up, brother.
And I just got back from Maui, so if I sound like a little beachy, that's why.
I'm 22, long story short, the past couple months, I've been noticing I've been losing
a lot of hair, you know, and that's how I was freaking out.
I went to the doctor, said everything's normal, you know, but I can tell that, you know, I
only got a few more years with my hair.
It's not that bad right now, but, you know, I just, it's been kind of hurting myself
confident.
Part of me just wants to be like, you know, who cares, but then I get these, you know,
weak moments where it just feels like that's every, I don't know, just feels like I can't
beat it, you know.
So I just want to hear your thoughts on, you know, how to approach changes that are going
on that you don't want, you know, they don't look good, but, and how to, you know, stay
out of those weak moments.
Yeah, man, I feel you, dude.
You know, it's hard for me to talk because I kind of, you know, I've had hair taken
out of the back and put in the front, you know, so I have some extra hair.
Twice.
Yeah, twice, good call.
So, but I do notice that when I focus on my hair and then I start to really think, oh,
I'm losing my hair.
I'm losing my hair.
Whereas when I just, when I'm having fun and enjoying life, then I don't think about
my hair at all.
And I'm just having fun.
I think a lot of times it's worse in our perception and the more we doped on it than the reality
of it.
Also, one of the most attractive women I've ever seen in my life was married to the baldest
looking dude I ever seen.
And he was not really wealthy and that shit just blew my mind, bro.
So, you know, I think that, you know, I think there's, there's still a lot, you know, there's
still going to be a lot of options for women, you know, they got a hat, I think two pays
are going to come back, I know that sounds crazy, but things kind of go in cycles and
they've been out of like style for about 70 years.
So it's definitely time.
And then also, there's a lot of, there's a, there's a, you can look good and be bald
these days.
I think you have to kind of go to the gym or get some glasses.
Like you have to go with like kind of the nerdy bald look or the like, you know, the
Joe Rogan bald look, you have to go with one or the other.
But I think you can, you can really work bald, it just takes reading or going to the gym.
So I think it's just like anything, you're going to have to find some ways to maybe make
up for it.
But I think just working on the confidence is really the biggest key, finding ways to
just stay confident.
And I would just look at bald dudes that have wives, you know, a lot of times if women is
kind of the thing that you're worried about.
But yes, having hair are all that great.
I don't know, I mean, I think it's cool, but I think that sometimes it's kind of bothersome
too.
You always have to fix it.
Whereas if you could be bald and look decent, you could do whatever you want.
You know, you could get a job doing anything really, you could work outdoors, you could
work indoors.
Yeah, what you got, Nick?
The gym was like my first thought initially, like you're, you have something you think
is making you look worse that you can't control.
Also do something in your control that you can make yourself look better and then it
just kind of evens out if you get a little jack, but lose your hair.
I'm going through, I'm pretty hair annoyed right now.
Are you?
I think it's like going up, I don't know, like you said, I'm just trying not to think
about it.
But yeah, maybe one day I'll be, be pulling out of the back, I don't know, but it scares
me.
I just try not to think about it.
Like the coronavirus.
Yeah, yeah, I think give is don't think about it and stay alive, bro.
Right now I think chicks are going to fuck anybody that's alive.
So that's the number one thing you got going for you right now.
Get some rations.
Yeah.
Hey, I'm living.
I got something at the house, you know.
So there we go, man.
That's all I got for you, bro.
Thanks Nick for helping us out.
No problem.
Good times.
Hope I'm here next week.
Yeah, man.
Oh yeah.
Not on the podcast alive.
Okay.
Alive.
Yeah.
Yeah, man.
That's true, dude.
I hope you're here too, man.
It's been, if this is the end, man, it's been a fucking run, bro.
It's been good times.
It's been good times.
I know it'd be crazy, huh?
Dude, I noticed though, like say, like this morning I was kind of like just touching my
eye for a minute and I wasn't doing anything that I normally wasn't doing, but my brain's
like, holy shit, man, are you, you about to die or like I went and you press the elevator
button and I was like, how many people, all the people have touched this?
It's just crazy how the paranoia starts to become like a thing, you know.
Yeah.
I walked up the stairs.
I was breathing a little heavy.
I was like, oh my God.
Oh no.
All right, take care, brother.
Yes.
And if you can't take care of yourself, I know who can and that's better help.

Oh, yeah.
The virus is amongst us, man, what happens?
What happens if this is where we go?
This is where we stay?
What happens if this is, if we start having to just really seclude ourselves?
What happens?
You know, there's a part of me that's very exciting too.
And there's a part of me that's very like, oh, it makes me feel alive as a being.
It makes whoever I am inside kind of like yawn and wake up like, oh, okay.
We're not just cattle being herded.
There's an, you know, we're going to, we're about to see who's smart enough.
We're about to play a real game here.
There's a little bit of that in this.
There's a little bit of that survival technique.
There's a little bit of that.
What do I do here?
What do I do now?
There's a little bit of that in there.
There's also a little bit of a chance to help other people.
You know, you know, somebody's going to be struggling.
You know, you have more, you know, it's a chance to give.
It's a chance to share.
And those are things that make us feel good.
You know, those are things that build bridges with people and build connection, you know,
it's really a beautiful time to be able to do that and to recognize the value of that.
So that's pretty interesting.
What else am I thinking about this virus?
You know, I don't know.
I haven't been in the store yet, so I'm just probably going to pop by on my way home and
see if there's some stuff in there.
It may be miserable.
I may have to make a soup, you know.
I did hear that at the toilet paper section, it was all gone.
And then somebody put cotton balls there, which I thought was kind of a kind of a sweet
idea.
I thought they're pretty sweet, bro.
If you just want to, you know, if you just really want to wipe small, just aim small,
miss small, you know, we had a couple of calls that came in, you know, the last solo episode
I was talking about the Corona know about Jesus, about heaven and what's going on.
And, uh, and what people thought of heaven when they were young and what do they think
of it now as their older and we had some calls that came in.
So I wanted to, uh, to check some of those out.
Here we go.
Hey, this is Crystal from Virginia.
My idea of heaven when I was little was living in a shopping mall.
Those missed with toys or off was towards miss, but like a petting zoo, there's, oh
damn.
Okay.
Crystal.
So, and you talk, you talking fast, you might, you something might be on a little bit of
trouble, but, uh, hopefully not, hopefully you're doing great.
Um, so yeah, a little toys or us on a petting zoo.
I could see a child really loving that.
There's just toys and animals and fun things everywhere.
Oh yeah.
Right.
But now that I'm older, I feel like it's more intergalactic.
I think I might have screwed up that word, but you know what I mean?
Like I feel like we'll get permission to explore the universe.
Like we just be out here floating.
Our souls just be able to go to whatever, whatever planet they want.
Maybe each planet's a little bit different, a little bit of visible, a little bit of
fifth dimensional, you know, maybe different.
Like it's not earthly, but it's, it might have like this plan and it'd be like this
and this plan would be kind of like amusement parks, different amusement parks.
So now I just feel like it's just like, maybe there are aliens, but they are not visible
to our human bodies.
We had to be a spirit to see them.
Wow.
Yeah.
I like that.
That's still kind of a petting zoo.
It's just you're like petting the universe with your spirit.
You just kind of just cruising around.
It's like this open hearted kind of like just being and you just kind of bumper of just
bumping off the, the, the, uh, the walls of other echelons.
I think that sounds pretty magical.
Really.
Um, yeah, it's funny how when you're young and then as you get older, the way that you
could really envision heaven and what it could seem like to you, um, uh, I love that petting
zoo though.
I love a pony.
I love a small animal.
And I have always really loved a small, a small animal onward.
Let's hear another call.
Hey, Theo.
My name is Spencer.
I'm from Georgia.
Hey, Spencer.
Thank you for calling man.
And I hope you're saying, uh, healthy out there gang.
And you're talking about what heaven was like when we were children versus what it's
like now.
And I was thinking about heaven when I was a child and how my dad told me that when
you die, you go to heaven, you get to live forever and ever and ever.
And it gave me like a weird sinking feeling inside of me like you never die.
It just goes on forever and ever and ever in this place and there's never going to be
a stop to it.
Yeah.
It seems like a lot.
It does seem like a long, it does seem like a long haul, especially as a child.
I can imagine.
A long haul.
Onward.
So when I was a child, I used to think about that and it used to scare me, but then when
I got older, I used to, uh, thought about it and thought like, well, maybe heaven is
a place where we can exist forever.
And at some point we choose to come down here into this dimension and feel like that we're
living, but we can die so we can learn something with each trip that we take down here.
We get to learn things about ourselves and reality and stuff.
Man that's really interesting.
Yeah.
Like, uh, like heaven is kind of the, it's like the rental car place and then our bodies
are like, you know, earth or, you know, existence is sort of each time you get rented and you
get to take out, you go out and you have an experience and you go back and they either
return you with a full tank or they return you on empty, you know, they might return
you a couple of dents in the doors, anything.
But yeah, you have an experience and then you go back and like kind of park back into
the shop.
That's pretty.
Yeah.
I really liked that, man.
That's beautiful.
That's real beautiful.
Um, let's take another heaven call.
Here we go.
Hey, this is Kenny from cutting shoot Texas.
What's up Kenny from cutting shoot gang brother onward.
I was talking about the heaven, man.
When I was a kid in church, they taught us that, you know, heaven was constant worship
and I don't know, they always thought that sounded boring as hell.
When I was a kid, I thought heaven sounded boring as fuck, but they said it because it
was constant worship, you know, just like we was already in church worship and why we
got to worship when we died too.
Oh yeah.
That's double worship, man.
I feel you there.
But now that I'm older, I kind of feel like heaven is a little more specific to every
person.
Like every person's heaven is different, just like every person's health can be different.
So that's it.
Yeah.
Thank you, bro.
Um, yeah, you know, it would be nice to think that it's set that it's different that we
only that we all get our own, that we all have one that's very unique to us.
It would really make sense almost because the world feels very unique to us.
You know, we said, could we, we're only able to really get our own perception of, of life
here on earth.
So it'd be interesting.
It'd be probably similar to really get that the same in heaven.
You get the same, you know, that your understanding of your environment is specific to you.
Uh, yeah, I don't know, man.
And I hope they have a hell too, bro.
And I hope there's a chance where you could get, you know, if you don't, you know, mind
your, your taters and toss that they could drag you back down the other end of the hallway.
It would just be exciting.
You know, that's one of the, another thing that maybe really keeps me, um, believing
in, in, in another leg of our existence, um, is just the choice to have excitement for
there to be something else when people are like, Oh man, you die and, and that's it.
And like that's, or anybody could write that book, you know, anybody could do that, um,
you know, I'd like to think that I'm built for something more, you know, and maybe it's
selfish, but I don't think there's anything real selfish in thinking that you would like
to be able to exist more, to be able to have new experiences and hopefully ones that are
even better than the ones that we're already having here.
What else do we have going on, man?
I'm a little, you know, I'm, well, as always, I'm a little tired, but that's just my MO.
We got a Patreon question came in, Alaskan Rock Vodka, are you planning on upping your
podcast frequency?
If we're going to be shut in with all this virus business, we need to get more online
entertainment.
Um, thank you Alaskan Rock Vodka and thank you for being a long time, uh, Patreon supporter
really from the beginning and, and, um, and I really want to thank you very much, real
kind of you.
Uh, yeah, I think I'm going to do some stuff.
I'm going to try my best, you know, I don't want to just put out whatever I want to be
feeling good and put out cool stuff.
We got Glenn, big baby Davis coming in tomorrow and he went to school at LSU and, and I went
to school down there at LSU and, and so I'm really excited to see, uh, to have a conversation
with him.
Uh, who else?
We have some really cool guests coming up, um, and depending on, you know, how the viral
thing plays out, what we're going to do, what it's going to be like, but you know, we may
have more, we may, uh, we're supposed to do a live, uh, this past weekend and I want to
say it's in April or May out here in Los Angeles.
So I think there's some options, um, what else that came in?
Thank you for that question though.
Yeah, we're going to try to do some stuff, some extra King in the Sting.
Um, we're also going to try to do some stuff for the single moms that we have.
We know this is a tough time for them having to deal with, you know, probably just changes.
You know, maybe they're still working, but they need to find help for their children.
So, um, we're going to reach out and do something special for them, try to help out a little
bit.
Uh, what else, man?
Hmm.
That's it.
Dude, they had a lot.
I will say this.
And now we see a lot of a lot of hair on the ground.
People, they're cutting people's hair and just leaving it.
People, you know, somebody just drop a damn pigtail and just, it'll be right there.
Another question that came in, how's it feel this from action Jackson?
How's it feel to be done with your dark arts tour?
Is there anything in particular you're looking forward to doing now that you've have more
free time?
Uh, yeah, I'm looking to take care of myself a little bit better.
I'm looking to get some more rest.
Um, you know, I'm working on a pilot project right now with, uh, with Mike judge actually
and Greg Daniels, um, who made Beavis and Butthead and some other stuff.
So I'm excited about, uh, you know, they really love the animation, uh, that we've been putting
up on Instagram and, uh, thank you guys so much for your support on that.
Um, so we're working on trying to take a project out, you know, a pilot out.
So it's kind of, it's a little scary to talk about, but it's really, I guess it's okay
to talk about, you know, I'm just really excited, I guess about it.
I'm hopeful.
I'm not like overly excited.
I just want it to be, you know, I love the little cartoon guy and I love, um, you know,
I just don't want to spoil kind of what, what, what we already have going on with it.
And so, but I think that, you know, those guys are obviously legends and, uh, and it's
really makes me feel amazing that they're excited.
And so we'll see what happens.
You know, um, I'm just trying to stay creative.
So I think those are things I'm going to do.
I'm just going to try to stay more, just try and make, take care of myself so I can be
a little more creative and stay creative.
Um, what else?
Try and do some yoga and get some extra naps.
You know, I think it's, I'm pretty lucky that the tour, some people's tours were just starting
and they're having to reel them back now.
Um, but those are things that I'm looking forward to doing.
Uh, so thanks for asking that question, man.
Um, here's a question from Riley Mora and it says, gang, why is Hawaii so comforting?
I have never been, but you make it seem like the best getaway.
Take care of yourself.
I think there's not like, it's just relaxing.
I can't, oh, here's why, because everything, there's no real nightlife there.
Everything shuts down early.
So you, sometimes you'll feel a pressure.
Like I got to go out.
I got to, people are doing at eight o'clock in Hawaii, everybody's eating dinner and it
is bedtime and it doesn't matter if you're 22 or if you're 51.
So, um, I think that's what it is.
Just the fact that it's okay to be at peace there.
You know, it's one thing, it's almost the similar, like with this virus, it's like,
you know, with this rona, people are wondering, you know, or I'm feeling like, okay, at least
now we have an excuse to just relax.
You know, it's like, okay, we can just chill.
You know, oh, you can look across the table and see who someone is.
See who, who, who is that?
You know, I'll get to know my kid a little bit better.
I'll break out a board game.
There is something really comfortable, man.
We've been on this fast, fast train in America and it's nice to have just something kind
of apply this weird break.
I'm not saying that this is a good break, but I'm just saying that it is, there's something
really comforting in it, I feel like, in a weird way to kind of know that people are
hopefully taking care of themselves.
So that's one thing that's kind of neat about this and that's one thing that's neat about
Hawaii is that there's just that energy there.
There's that energy of just self-care, taking care of yourself, the ocean, you know, the
more I would go get in the ocean every day when I was over there and I just kept feeling
like the world kept falling off my shoulders, like just the troubles that I had or the problems
or whatever, you know, the stress kind of fell off my shoulder.
So that was really nice to feel.
What else?
I think we got into a lot of stuff.
You know, we got Big Baby Glendavis coming in tomorrow.
We got King and the Sting on Tuesday, a lot of fun stuff going on.
And let's get into one more call right here before we cruise out.
Hey, Theo, you said that you liked the movie, The Family Man, which-
Okay, yes.
You said you liked the movie, Family Man.
Yes, ma'am, I do.
Thank you.
With Nicholas Cage, and I was just wondering if you were given a glimpse of your life,
if you hadn't become a comedian, what would you think that glimpse would look like?
All right, thank you.
If I hadn't become a comedian, I had to go have a glimpse of my life.
Wow, that's a good question.
Well, thanks for the call.
You know, I feel like maybe I would have been maybe done arts and crafts.
Maybe somebody did arts and crafts instructor.
Or maybe an attorney, maybe?
But just an attorney because you get to speak in front of people, like you got to prove
a case or talk, discuss a point or something.
That's one thing I think I remember wanting to be when I was younger.
Or you know what, honestly, I think I really might have got into being a writer.
I really like to write, you know, when people used to write, I used to love it.
And now it's more typing and stuff.
It's different.
But man, I really liked writing when it was popular.
But yeah, I think I don't know how I wonder what a glimpse of my life would be like.
I'd probably be, man, I don't know.
I'd probably be, you know, my brother's a pretty good role model, so I probably would
have learned from some stuff from him.
So I bet I would have probably ended up being maybe an attorney or a writer, maybe both.
And I bet I would have had a marriage, but I would have probably gotten a divorce because
I've never really been ready for it yet.
You know, just kind of hard to, you know, never really hard to keep my, you know, my
mind out of out of the cookie jar or whatever.
And yeah, I think that that would be it.
Maybe no kids yet or maybe a child.
But yeah, it's a good question.
What else?
Did we get into a lot of stuff this week?
I don't even know.
I don't even know.
I'm glad to be back though.
But man, I miss it at the same time.
You know, I just, there's something, they, they, you know, there was fear.
People are worried that they're, they might shut down air travel everywhere.
So I said, I got to get back home and I got to get back to the podcast, you know, I haven't
been in here.
So I just said, we need to do it and, and we did it.
And this was it.
I want to thank everybody for communicating.
I want to thank everybody for being a part of the, of the podcast and just of what's
going on.
And yeah, we'll get, we'll, we'll get into some extra stuff this week.
We'll keep putting out some good content and, and, and doing our best as always hit the
hotline, nine, eight, five, six, six, four, nine, five, zero, three, if something is going on in your universe.
And what'll take us out tonight?
Oh, I know what we'll do.
We'll do some North Mississippi all stars with drunk outdoors.
Um, yeah, stay aware, you know, we'll stay aware.
We do what we can, you know, this is a unique time in existence where we get to see who
we are inside of ourselves.
You know, I think it's neat.
We can learn a lot about ourselves and, and, and really find ways to try and just be decent
to one another, but, uh, it's a wild time, you know, there's a lot of shockers rocking
out there.
And, uh, and thank you guys for, for showing up this week and I'll see you guys again next
week and, um, I'll see you this week with Glenn Big Baby at Davis, uh, uh, be good to
yourselves.
And I'm going to try to do the same gang.
I'm going to jump out the truck, let's go get drunk outdoors, ready to let it dance
forth.
Let's go get drunk outdoors.
Now we're cooking with gas on the front burner, hot wing gas station down on the corner, cooking
with gas on the front burner.
Now we're cooking with gas on the front burner, hot wing gas station down on the corner, cooking
with gas on the front burner, hot wing gas station down on the corner, cooking with gas
on the front burner, hot wing gas station down on the corner, cooking with gas on the front
