All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the members-only portion of the show. We have this really funny story. Newly declassified intelligence documents reveal how CIA officials saw two flying discs, UFOs, in the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
Starting point is 00:01:32 Wow. The White House unsealed a set of JFK assassination documents. The files detailed three people reports UFO sighting in the soviet union in 1995 that's really crazy how could you know it's so nuts hunter biden called joe at least 24 times during business meetings with clients when his father was vp first son's ex-best friend will tell congress i don't really care about that go back to the ufo story oh you're a good point good point what was what were we talking about some of the ufos i think i lost it oh there it is yeah ufo so we got a jfk story and a ufo story has anyone seen what the white house is up to what what else is happening yeah let's not undersell it i was joking fuck this hunter biden what
Starting point is 00:02:14 motherfucking joe biden his white house releases jfk and ufo docs wow that's the right on the time news breaks that he was on the phone in his son's business dealings fuck these fucking fuckers you think they've got chinese yes ukrainians oh with the ukraine okay because there was there is proof of the chinese as well correct just recently i do believe so yeah yeah it's really a lot of data it's almost intentionally confusing yeah it's not a bad strategy. You put so much out there that we just don't, we're not surprised anymore. We don't care anymore. You know, just flood it with all, you know, it's not a terrible strategy.
Starting point is 00:02:53 Well, a ton of the proof came out that was all, you know, it was discussed in like laptop from hell and all that other stuff. Like all of that came out that to be authentic that had to do with the actual Chinese dealings. But now this actually came out that he was on the phone with Hunter during the, okay. I just want to make sure. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Kareem Jean-Pierre said he, he has not been involved with any of Hunter's business dealings. Correct. Okay. So being on the phone with him while he's making a business dealing is the opposite of that. Yeah. Well spoke.
Starting point is 00:03:21 Yes. So you think they got a trove of like stories? They're like, if if shit it's the fan pull one of these and we'll sell it to the american people can you imagine though it being so bad that they're like all right listen jfk and ufo in case this gets worse we have these just in in the back keep them in the back pocket yeah just do we have anything worse they're like yeah believe it or not we do and they're just like trying to what what's the next story uh disturb maybe something rfk yeah tower seven i feel like they're really ruining ufo news you know what i mean like now when the ufo news comes out we're not like oh
Starting point is 00:03:55 interesting we're like ah what are you guys doing no what information are you hiding they shot one into a lake last year and we were all like yeah i don't really care you locked us up for a year like the the balloon yeah the balloons yeah yeah when i i've just my mind has changed now where i just think of it as unidentified flying object i just think it could be fucking anything could be a drone you know the amount of drones now that we have too like i don't buy any alien bullshit we shot down a ufo and it was like some college classes experimental balloon well yeah once it's a balloon and you're like that's the chinese espionage we're worried about is birthday party i no longer care like it doesn't seem there's no mystique about it it doesn't seem fun like that fascinates me right there the alien or the spacecraft that i'm watching right there
Starting point is 00:04:40 but yeah everything they have i don't buy anymore i think it's all lies it's just magnetism i don't know how these well i wonder what these drones are sometimes it's probably all sorts of wild crazy technologies that tesla was working on long-range electricity maybe yeah maybe not maybe just super lightweight metals metamaterials and fusion power or something i mean i don't put i don't i mean i do think that ufos are i I mean, aliens do exist. I just don't, I don't even know if they know. Do you think we're advanced enough as a human species to be contacted by aliens? I've heard from like a lot of those experts in UFO science and astronomy. They're like, once we get to a certain level of being advanced, then other, you know, societies might reach out. Maybe. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:05:27 We started seeing... They're just not interested in us enough yet? Well, I mean, when was the last time you tried communicating with a bunch of groundhogs? All the time, man. I just want to know what they're up to. Do you ever go out to... I was talking to your chickens.
Starting point is 00:05:40 Yeah, but see, we've domesticated those. Oh. And so it's possible... And there's YouTube stars. Maybe humans are considered domesticated aliens oh and so it's possible maybe humans are considered domesticated aliens yeah but you can see us like roberto jr knows us he we were there when he was born quite literally when he hatched we're standing there and so he's super chill with us and like we could walk up he just looks at us it's really funny uh the roberto his dad was born you know and survived a culling because they killed the boys well it was a boy but they thought it was a woman yeah they were all hands and so he got lucky but he wasn't raised
Starting point is 00:06:08 around people so he doesn't like people you know well yeah and he survived a holocaust and i'm not just saying that to be funny if you see a bunch of your friends die they're not going to trust you dude when these chickens are born yep the humans grab all the boys and just kill them all yeah i won't trust you either but roberto jr you know we raised him so he's like you know to answer your question kellen i think that we have and being our are being contacted by other species around the universe but we aren't aware of how to detect the communication so then we're not advanced enough or i guess we're advanced enough that people are reaching out is what you're saying yeah we're not able to reach out i don't i don't necessarily agree uh take the christian approach if earth was created by god and we are
Starting point is 00:06:51 all in god's image then there's no aliens and if they are you know maybe they it's possible they exist but there's a good chance if you know assuming that we are in a construct of some sort there aren't and you can take the secular view of the same thing simulation theory if this reality was constructed by a higher power whether it be your christian view of god or your abrahamic view of god or a simulation like elon musk or bezos or whatever i was talking about why would there be aliens like when we play grand theft auto there are no aliens it's just the people in liberty city or whatever or if you take the combination of the two and you have like the spaceships of Ezekiel. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:26 You know. Have you ever read it? No. It's a book that's not around anymore, but it's very fascinating. And it's about how you read and Ezekiel makes perfect sense for it to be a spacecraft. And it goes into how a lot of the stuff built. It's pretty crazy. Yeah, like the chariots of fire and all that stuff. It's a really interesting read.
Starting point is 00:07:44 And it kind of explains how this book is specific to what could be a spacecraft and how things were built did they actually have chariots of fire in the in the bible is that uh referencing i had not the i'm thinking the book of his thing but is it enoch yes yeah okay yes i know that god had angels with flaming swords so they're're messaging, like, mentioning technology of, like, fire swords. Yes. And if they have flaming chariots, maybe there's, like, combustion. Yeah. Something.
Starting point is 00:08:11 I can't remember exactly what it is, but yes. But come on, dude. You're naming it, yeah. Any advanced species is likely not using combustion. Like, combustion is old-ass technology. But if you don't know what it is, and you're looking at something that's lit up what do you call it no i'm saying why would an advanced alien species that it comes and creates life or whatever be using combustion yeah on earth i would have thought they just were the people 12 000 years ago that's what they had they found oil they knew how to light it on fire or whatever the fuck
Starting point is 00:08:37 yeah it's called coal oh like i'm not saying it's right it was just to what throw it out there for the conversation my guess is it's probably terribly incorrect. The Atlanteans had combustion, and other people saw it and were like, whoa. The raccoon guy gives you health, but not insight into science. No, no. What if? I don't understand science. Let's combine all the conspiracy theories.
Starting point is 00:08:56 I think it's all hocus pocus. Let's combine it all. Mud flood, right? Tartaria. What actually happened is. Anal. Most life on the planet just left prostate human human civilization developed like the city of atlantis developed technology yeah built spaceship left the humans
Starting point is 00:09:12 that stayed behind had no idea what the fuck was going on you know now living here i'll think of that when i'm like flying an airplane if there's an earthquake right now i wouldn't even notice i wouldn't even care be fine like i think depending on how big the earthquake was. Yeah, I guess. Like a 9.9 earthquake. Didn't even wake up. Oh, really? Yeah. They said on the news it was the worst one to ever happen,
Starting point is 00:09:31 and I'm like, it's not all that bad. Where was it? I think it was in Oklahoma or something. Oh, I was referencing if I was on an airplane and it happened, it would be like, wow, whatever. It's none of my concern anymore. So those people that took the spaceship off Earth are probably like, yeah, you wouldn't care at all.
Starting point is 00:09:44 Have fun. Yeah, enjoy it. There was people that took the spaceship off Earth. Yeah, you wouldn't care at all. Atlanta's just... There was just that big earthquake in Alaska. And I feel like everyone else was like, that's Alaska. But that was the Aleutians. It's so far away. It's the Ring of Fire.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Who cares about that? Yes, but it was the Aleutians. Like those stretched to Japan. Did it cause a tsunami? No, there was a tsunami warning. But it wasn't like Anchorage or anything. It was like on Alaska where 12 people live. Yeah, we don't care about those 12 people.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Except if you want crabs. Yeah, definitely because of climate change of all things. Turned out. Yo, I was in Vegas. It was 120 degrees outside. Two women just died. That's great. It's all over the place, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:20 It was 114. When I was there, it was 120. Holy fuck. You walk outside of any casino. Nobody goes outside for the most part except at night at night it was 110 oh geez so right when we got off the plane we flew jsx were they hookers or real people the the people walking around that died uh two women who were hiking in like the death valley or something like that yeah a lot of people do die out there it wasn't death valley it was called something else called like the death valley or something like that yeah a lot of people do die out there it wasn't death valley it was called something else like the heat valley or whatever ironic
Starting point is 00:10:48 114 degrees and they just never came back dude you you i i walked outside to cross from uh i think it was the cosmo to the aria and it's quite literally like a minute walk you're just covered in sweat no it's dry there's no air there's no humidity there so you don't sweat at all you feel coolness on all over you because the water is being ripped from your body but as soon as i got in all of like my shoes were scorching hot because they're they're black vans it was nuts i don't know how people i was driving around you see people walking outside and i'm just like that's crazy then of course the story two women walking for a hike dead dude in abu dhabi 154 was it abu dhabi it was like in the east coast of the persian gulf 154 degrees last week i feel like that just shows you god doesn't want you there yeah okay i was gonna say you know these places are hot but also how much of this is self-inflicted the fact these
Starting point is 00:11:39 are like just complete black concrete like texas uses what white concrete? So it doesn't absorb as much heat. Like if you have these massive cities which already retain heat on top of black concrete, which absorbs more heat, I have a hard time gauging how, because I don't know about science much like you, how much the temperature increases because of what we've done to the area that it's in.
Starting point is 00:12:01 It would be hot. I totally believe it. But is it extra hot because we aren't thinking about what we're building? That's a big problem. Here you go. As of right now, it's 120.4 in Abadan, Iran. Basra, Iraq is 120.
Starting point is 00:12:17 Well, there goes my family vacation. It's all basically Tunisia, Iraq, Kuwait, etc. Do you think that they're controlling the weather to attack Iran? No. Minimum Concordia minus 113, dude. What the fuck? I had a friend who taught a lot of people. It was in Iran.
Starting point is 00:12:38 A lot of people that would come over and kind of switch from their side over to America. A lot of them were like you know fake traders or whatever but uh he would teach him english and stuff like that and who was part of the u.s military and like seriously like the worst snakes imaginable and stuff just come inside to keep cool like it's a living no none for me hell like at around awful there at around minus 50 i think you can pour water and it'll start freezing. That's cool. You've seen the videos of people chucking water and it just becomes ice as they throw it, right? Yeah, snow.
Starting point is 00:13:09 Yeah. Well, there you go. Weather's crazy. Well, that's like the cooking eggs thing. I mean, I remember doing that in Arizona as a kid on the sidewalk at my cousin's house. Oh, nice. So as of right now, it's 109 in Las Vegas. Jeez.
Starting point is 00:13:23 It's 720 in Vegas right now. Oh. Oh, my gosh. What do we got? Wichita Falls is 108. Glasgow Airport, 107. I wonder how long until they'll start using the drones that they use in the Middle East here stateside.
Starting point is 00:13:36 You know the ones that- Spray water? No, they like shock the atmosphere. They like shoot electricity in the atmosphere, and it produces rain clouds somehow. Well, that's awesome. I don't understand the science. That's incredible. The coldest place in America right now is 45 degrees.
Starting point is 00:13:52 That's it. In King Salmon. That's it. Where's King Salmon? I wear shorts at 45. Where's King Salmon? I have no idea. It's a guy.
Starting point is 00:13:59 It's a guy. Mount Washington. How is he so cold? He's just super cool? Mount Washington, I think, was like minus 100. We were supposed to go there. Whoa. Where's Mount Washington. How is he so cold? He's just super cool? Mount Washington, I think, was like minus 100. We were supposed to go there. Whoa. Where's Mount Washington?
Starting point is 00:14:09 I think it's like Vermont. Vermont? Yeah, or New Hampshire or something. Negative 100? Yeah, this was earlier this year. Is that with wind chill or is it just straight up? Well, that was actual just temperature, I'm pretty sure. The crazier thing that I've seen is how hot the ocean, the Atlantic Ocean has been.
Starting point is 00:14:26 And people in Florida, it's too hot to swim. It's like 98 degrees. They're saying it's gotten hotter in the last couple years than it has throughout the last 100 or something. In recorded history, whenever we started taking note of it. But it's wild. You can't even swim. And they said it's going to be bad for hurricane season. But we'll see. They said last year was supposed to be pretty bad and i don't think it really was
Starting point is 00:14:48 if i remember correctly there was a year like four years ago we had three hurricanes normally there's one so that was like a big i i think we're in frogs in a pot with the climate thing right now and like people are making fun of the climate zealots because a lot of them are misled i don't think you can stop producing waste well some of them are developmentally disabled yeah literally and uh but if we just ignore it i just watched a video of the sea right the sea level rising slowly every year every year every year for the last like 20 or 30 years are you sure well i'll tell you this if a guy comes to me and it brings a bunch of his friends they're all very wealthy and they say listen to us the ocean levels are going to rise and then i look down at my portfolio,
Starting point is 00:15:26 and I'm like, all of you guys have beachfront property. Why would I trust them? That's just it. Sorry. Have a nice day. Go fuck yourselves, because Obama, his house should be underwater, if this is true.
Starting point is 00:15:39 And it may be true. No, it's only inches. That's true. We pulled this up, remember? It was five and a half feet. We pulled up the NOAA chart, and it's like within 10 years, most of his property is submerged. Well, who the fuck is buying? Are they like, well, the end is coming.
Starting point is 00:15:53 That's how much money they have. So might as well just buy property and enjoy it. Before the end, wipe us all out. Maybe that's the mentality. Maybe all of these global elites are like, you know, the world is warming. We're all gonna die we've got no time left so we're gonna buy beachfront property to ride it out in style it looks like okay yeah the sea level's risen about near close to 300 millimeters in the last
Starting point is 00:16:17 150 years i don't know if that's start if that's like shocking there's too much disinformation about climate change like some people, I've been told, are hiding certain parts of the climate shift over the last few hundred years because it doesn't work with their data. They want to show a constant escalation, but it jolts and you'll see upticks and then
Starting point is 00:16:37 the temperature will go down. Here's a good one. Hold on. I'm sorry. Hazmat said no insurance agency would allow mortgages for waterfront property if climate change was real. Tell me how any bank is selling a 30-year mortgage in Miami Beach if any of these people actually believed it. And Miami Beach was supposed to be wiped off the planet like 10 years ago, I think. They're lying. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:17:02 And I'll tell you this. Maybe they're not. Certainly it's a possible possibility. No, I mean, I don't think we know. But they're untrustworthy. Yeah, they're lying. Sorry. And I'll tell you this, maybe they're not, certainly it's a possible possibility, but they're untrustworthy. Yeah, they are untrustworthy. It's shifty for sure. And misled. The idea that we can cease production
Starting point is 00:17:13 to save it is not the way. You need to reuse the waste. It's the only ethical and logical solution. It would be funny though, if they start at Miami Beach building platforms at the fourth floor that looks suspiciously like a boardwalk and connecting all of the buildings. You're like, what's going on here?
Starting point is 00:17:30 And they're like, don't mind us. No big deal. No big deal. Ensuring our, and they're waterproofing the base levels. Yeah. All of a sudden you realize they're building little rockets on the bottom. That would be, how cool would it be to have a building that was actually like four stories underwater? That's how South America was. That would be how cool would it be to have a building that was actually like four stories underwater.
Starting point is 00:17:48 That's how South America was in the Bay Lynn where I stayed. But they were like stilts. The bottom half of the house would be like open, no walls. And it would just be like on four giant wooden pillars. Well, yeah, but I'm saying stairs and that's where the family lives full time. But you go into a building shit on the bottom floor. You walk onto like a large bridge into a building and the rooms are actually underwater. There's a hotel in China
Starting point is 00:18:08 where it used to be a quarry and so they flooded it but before they flooded it they built like 10 stories of hotel rooms into the side of the quarry and then they flooded it so now it's like
Starting point is 00:18:18 an underwater hotel. It's so cool. But totally an engineering marvel. It took a lot of money, a lot of time, some very smart people to get this done. Also, would you stay there and be like, oh my gosh, the window's going to break? Oh yeah, here it is.
Starting point is 00:18:33 Yeah, I'd be a little freaked out. Couldn't help it. This is sick. Oh, so it's above water and goes under? Yeah, I forget how many stories goes beneath. I'd be like, I'd like one of the rooms that is not underwater, please. Oh, the B1M is awesome. I love this guy. This structure
Starting point is 00:18:47 features a full-height glass atrium conceived as a waterfall. Presented extreme construction. Oh, that's crazy. From its initial conception back in 2006, more than 5,000 architects, engineers, designers, and
Starting point is 00:19:04 construction workers have collaborated. And this is where I understand the expense Shapiro. Yeah, China. He's like, we're going to adjust. You know, if flooding gets bad, we'll find ways. So they kind of just built it and then let it. I think so. I can't remember the exact order.
Starting point is 00:19:19 Each will also be able to try their hand. Oh, yeah, because they let the water fall into it. This resort looks set to join the growing list of extraordinary projects is it done yet? this is four years ago this video there might be an update um China opens hotel inquiry thought it was done
Starting point is 00:19:37 used to create China's architecture woah yeah they flooded it cause for someone like the underwater rooms are an attraction, right? That's crazy. Oh, for sure. I'd go underwater and eat. That's because the bottom floor of this hotel
Starting point is 00:19:51 is actually built under the water. It would suck if all those sharks came in your room. The first time ever that I'm going to be eating. You woke up. I wonder if you'd get seasick being in an underwater hotel room, even though you're not moving. Like pressure.
Starting point is 00:20:09 That might get to you, yeah. Cool. That looks awesome. That to you yeah cool that looks like a cool place i would stay there i take it back we're all gonna live in water world that movie was great and we're gonna ride around stealing gas and smoking cigarettes and i'm gonna have sand and i'm gonna be like talk about how much money it's worth because it is money now because it's right it's called dry land yes and then i guess they go to maverick they're going to remake water world oh good why wouldn't you i liked the idea but do it on mars if you may remake it or may have to be the sequel like water another water water mars it'll be like after they melt all the ice under the dust on mars here's an idea it's a movie where there are people on like an abandoned, and then the actual story is that it was a colony ship that crashed,
Starting point is 00:20:49 and 300 years later, they have no idea human civilization ever existed. And they're just, you know, living 300 years, human civilization, a couple thousand people only, and they have no idea that they came from earth with knowledge of technology because their ship that'd be cool like an m night shot m night shamalan movie where you don't find out till the end but it doesn't even matter when you find out it's just kind of part of the story because the story's so good like yeah or the ship comes back and they discover earth but it's like all been flooded by water but then they start discovering the stuff about earth and
Starting point is 00:21:25 you're like oh but why would it's like so what i'm saying is there's a a story that takes place on a planet that's in development from like tribal like people yeah and they have religion and then there's actually a massively advanced human civilization us yeah a colony ship went to space uh let's let's say there was the military officers running the ship died in a gas leak. Oxygen bursts. An emergency release drops the pods on the planet. They all come out
Starting point is 00:21:54 and they're like, what happened? They have kids. Tell stories. Stories become myth and legend. No one actually, by four generations, no one actually believes Earth is real. It's a crazy story of heaven. There's a place where we come from way up in the sky where you can fly and there's all the food you can eat whenever you want people just eat so much food and everyone is there you can talk at an instant just by thinking and they're like sounds like magic and they would just assume it's some fantastic religious nonsense.
Starting point is 00:22:25 I like that movie because you wouldn't have cell phones. Did you guys ever, did you ever get the vibe, maybe you have, that like movies started to suck when the characters talk on cell phones? Yes.
Starting point is 00:22:35 It like, a lot of the, It made it convenient. Yeah. Yeah. Like a phone booth wouldn't even exist. I love that, where they gotta get to a phone because it's like, I need to communicate,
Starting point is 00:22:46 and all that struggle is now removed, because it's just like... Well, I think that's why a lot of movies are set... Sorry. No, you go. Like, a lot of movies that are set back in the 70s, because people want to write them, where there's not an easily fixable problem
Starting point is 00:22:59 with a cell phone. You know, the worst thing about sitcoms is that almost all of their problems would be solved by saying a word. It'll be like. You know, the worst thing about sitcoms is that almost all of their problems would be solved by saying a word. It'll be like, you know, a guy's sister is over
Starting point is 00:23:10 and the girlfriend walks in and she sees this woman in a bathrobe and she's like, how dare you? No, wait, let me explain. No, you're cheating on me. No, just let me say one thing.
Starting point is 00:23:18 No, I won't let you. I'm breaking up with you. Aw, shucks. Instead of just going, it's my sister. Shut up. I hate those shows like just say the word
Starting point is 00:23:27 say word alright let's go to colors alrighty okay so we can actually see the names this time so we're just going to go down the list a cruel if I say that right I'm going to unmute you you should be with us
Starting point is 00:23:43 yo you might have to unmute himself that right i'm gonna unmute you you should be with us yo you might have to unmute himself no cruel you are mute you are not muted now you're muted now you're unmuted and just not saying words hello it's in your settings yeah you might need to choose a different input for your microphone or you're on push to talk. All right. We are going to come back to you, Akril. We'll give you some. It looks like you're trying to figure this one out.
Starting point is 00:24:13 So we will come back to you. We'll try you next. To see Noski. Noski. Noski, you jumped the line. What's up? Howdy, howdy, howdy. How's it going?
Starting point is 00:24:22 Great, actually. I've been telling people this is the best day ever, to be i started out i replied to one of dave's tweets and he actually followed me back this morning best day ever do you remember doing that dave yeah i think so well there you go you know you're lucky number 100 thank you well there you go nice i feel good so my question is for you dave actually okay i've said it before others have said it oftentimes you're the funniest person in a room if not one of them uh as such how do you handle being in a room where there's so many people that are equal to you or maybe on that next level uh does it alter how you react in that room uh Do you feel like you need to step up your game at all? No, I just have fun.
Starting point is 00:25:08 I just enjoy talking to people. And if there's people that are equally funny or having fun, I just enjoy just talking to other people. I mean, it's kind of like, especially when you're surrounded by comics or other people that are, you know, you always want to just kind of one up and try to steal a conversation. I just think being natural and being yourself is the best way to go about it.
Starting point is 00:25:26 And you kind of see where everything lands. Right on. I can agree with that. Yeah. That's kind of the best way to do it. Thank you. Really good stuff. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:25:35 So the follow up to that would be, you know, based on your routine, it does use a lot of material from your past. Yes. You know, different stories there. How much of that is actually true story and how much of it is garnished to spice it up or polish it uh most of it is i mean it's basically all true it's just some of it will be like exaggerated for the point of like comic relief a little bit but the stuff that seems like it might be falsified isn't like the the harder stuff is completely real uh like if you're talking about like if you look into like hitting my bully with
Starting point is 00:26:11 a brick or almost getting picked up by a pedo or all like that's all completely real like uh being arrested 13 times the car crashes the um being attacked by a wolf man uh all that stuff like that's all completely real so like that's and that took me a long time to do it on stage the being attacked by a wolf man, all that stuff. That's all completely real. And that took me a long time to do it on stage. Even the one that I'm doing recently about my parents coming home from my dad getting cancer surgery, and I had passed out from masturbating while making a grilled cheese. That's completely real, but it took a long time for me to be vulnerable enough
Starting point is 00:26:43 to actually start talking about those on stage. So at first you know it's like a lot of dark one-liners but over time it's it's grown to where i don't mind being completely honest with an audience you know i mean you certainly cut out certain parts like the uh the immense pain that you cause your family and friends but uh it's all pretty pretty accurate or not or a slightly embellished for the sake of storytelling uh version of the truth all right i get that you know my favorite one is the wolfman joke that was the build-up to it that one is true the only the only part in that is that's slightly exaggerated is in the beginning of that um i talk about bonging a fifth and falling through a glass table which is a completely true story uh but that is actually separate from how i got to the mental hospital so i combined two stories there but yeah i did in fact bong a fifth my friend anthony who's
Starting point is 00:27:36 in that story uh he's passed now but my friend nick i actually just went to a fair with him and his kid and we were talking about it you know like our kids are riding rides and we were still discussing about the days where i used to bong fifths you know what is the fifth oh a fifth of uh whiskey you know that was a fifth of absolute vodka but i used to do mainly whiskey like i used to uh when i was really drunk or high like they'd pour a fifth or like a half pine or whatever into a beer bong and i'd slam oh okay they may smoke weed out of a bong with alcohol as the water oh no no like uh you know like a funnel at the end and then a giant tube and then i would do that with liquor and it was because i would shake too if i didn't drink
Starting point is 00:28:16 like i was really into uh you know complete full-blown alcoholism by the time i was 15 and then i quit when i was 27. oh was how did life change for the the most after that i don't know we could take oh no for for the better i mean uh mainly for the better but i still like i said i struggle with stuff where i like to do stuff in extremes so i always will have a problem with something, but I'm much better at it now because I can identify it, and I'm always honest with myself about it. Right on. Yeah, but I appreciate the call. I mean, yeah, it's all based on truth,
Starting point is 00:28:53 and I do that not just so people can relate to me, but it is cool when people do relate and go like, I had this serious problem. I've been sober for three years because of something you said. That's kind of a crazy thing to hear because you told a joke right on word is that uh satisfying sir nosky that is more than satisfying thank you very much thank you thank you for calling in brother we're gonna try and get a crawl back and a crawl did you figure it out you can do it no i don't i don't think it's figured out yet brother no man we'll come circle back we'll come back to you we'll come back to you let's jump down to
Starting point is 00:29:31 flagrant triggers flagrant you were with us what up hey thanks for taking the call guys um hopefully i don't cause a 20 minute debacle this time yes uh my question is for Tim, and then I'd like to get the panel's thoughts after. Tim, you're known to congratulate radical left influencers or leftist influencers or politicians when they do
Starting point is 00:29:57 general acts of good. But my question is, should we reward those types, since they're creating division and promote radical ideology with praise since they're actively pushing for the downfall of basically the republic? Yes. And that especially applies to paid actors because this – I guess the second question would be, isn't that kind of rewarding evil? No. You – so here's the issue uh i'll tell the joey sales story i like joey uh joey hired a bunch of black guys to smash up a car with trump logos on it to trick people into thinking that if you were a trump
Starting point is 00:30:38 supporter black people would attack you or whatever to create shock content he got exposed he got attacked for it everybody shat on him and told him to go fuck himself. Prominent personalities and influencers were like, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you. You did fake news. And even I said that. And then I thought about it for like two seconds and was like, holy shit, that's actually a really bad idea. Because that means the only thing he can do is more evil. If you've got someone like Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks being attacked relentlessly by the
Starting point is 00:31:05 left for saying things that are true and correct, or like Anna Kasparian, a better example. She's like, hey, don't call me a birthing person. And the left relentlessly berates and attacks her? Where do you think she's going to go? Do you think she's going to cry and beg and say, okay, fine, I'll do whatever you say? She could,
Starting point is 00:31:21 only if she has no other options. But what if then a whole bunch of people like, say, us are like, hey, you know, we may disagree, Anna, but that was really cool of you to say, and we respect you on this one. Well, now there's an open door to her right and a screaming pitchfork mob to her left. Guess which direction she runs? You have to give people the opportunity to do the right thing. If someone comes out, if Anna commands her the right thing, and we all just went, fuck you, she'd say, look, she'd think to herself, my only option
Starting point is 00:31:50 is to pander to these lefties because the right hates me no matter what I do. Then she tweets out, I'm so sorry for offending you, I'll do anything you say. It's her only choice. So we don't want to create those situations. We want to tell people who are bad, who are doing bad things, if you do good thing, we praise you and reward you
Starting point is 00:32:05 because good thing is good you do bad thing we criticize you and so long as you do a good thing you're welcome here yeah i agree with you yeah i do too yeah because i mean if you just if because then you're being inauthentic to yourself if you don't you know if you're not being honest with her wouldn't how you feel and you want to recognize good in the world right like if she's doing a good thing she deserves credit for that she deserves right like if she's doing a good thing she deserves credit for that she deserves condemnation for doing something bad we can't just always have negativity being the only thing we respond to right i mean imagine this way imagine like you're trying to uh what was someone just dipped out that was uh cruel oh why is this this should not be making those
Starting point is 00:32:40 noises anyway imagine you are training you know a horse and uh you want the horse to jump over a log and every time he does you whack him as hard as you can with a stick do you think the horse will continue to jump over the log i don't think so no the horse is probably going to stop jumping on the log and back away and be like okay like we negative reinforcement we know it if you hit someone repeatedly, they'll stop doing it. So if Anacosporian's doing a bunch of good things, but you then just insult her, she'll
Starting point is 00:33:11 stop saying good things. It's just like normal, any life form would do this. Absolutely. So it's like you can give the horse an apple when it jumps with a log, and the horse is going to be like, that was awesome. Jumped over this log, gave me an apple. I'm in a good mood.
Starting point is 00:33:28 There you go. That's how it's done. How do we turn off that audio? It's in settings. You have to turn it off of notifications. I can find it afterwards, Tim, unless you want to do it right now. Yeah, those bings and bongs can get to you. you i you know i'll follow up i i agree
Starting point is 00:33:47 who turned it on basically with what everybody's saying i agree with that and i when i think of humans i don't really think of them as like this one is an evil one this one is a good one because people are capable of horrible evil and amazing good everybody is um so you want to reward the good and highlight the good and expose the evil, I suppose, but not linger on it too. You know, that's kind of a subject of how you deal with evil actions is like,
Starting point is 00:34:11 I think exposing it for sure is, is a good start. Exposing and condemning it. I mean, if it's, if it's bad, it's bad and you should feel comfortable saying that. Right.
Starting point is 00:34:18 But a lot of times it's so bad that it's, it condemns itself. Just the exposition itself, like shows the world of what a horrible thing it is. You don't even need to be part of the, of the exposition itself shows the world of what a horrible thing it is. You don't even need to be part of the inspiration. Well, there's like dogpiling
Starting point is 00:34:30 where everyone has told someone how horrible they are or whatever else. You don't necessarily need to add to it. But if someone does something wrong, even if it's obvious it's wrong, you can still be like, yes, that was wrong. There's no reason not to.
Starting point is 00:34:40 I think part of it is like, what do you ultimately want? Do you want to say, there's no redemption, right? There's no chance for you to ever do anything good because everything you do is bad. Like maybe you do feel that way. But on the other hand, like if you're trying to tell people like there is a path forward, even if in the past you have advocated for bad policies and like when you, you know,
Starting point is 00:35:01 speak truth and when you have these good, you know good values and we support what you're doing, I'm going to be open about that, right? Are you looking to keep divisions alive or are you looking to see people transition into a better way of living? There's always a chance for redemption. At least I believe that. And I mean, people are evil and people are good.
Starting point is 00:35:19 But I mean, if there's a point where you see that, I mean, you talk about overwhelming emotions. I mean, sometimes there is something that happens in your life that makes you finally feel something that allows you to change for the better or at least attempt to. And, I mean, you do want to reward that. There's not always a path to redemption, though. I think there is. No. Pedophiles.
Starting point is 00:35:39 Well. But, of course, it's an outlier. Yeah. I mean, there are outliers. Yeah, that's true. I think they could. If someone never pedophiles again, then they pretty much redeem themselves recidivism is like what 100 do you think that their victim is close to that like that's the thing like no i don't know it's easy for you to like be like well if you never did it again but like the person who they
Starting point is 00:35:57 were harmed on such a profound level like i don't and i i'm very difficult to well i think it's worse than murder because murder ends a life but abusing kids in this way not only destroys their life but it actually destroys the fabric of human civilization deranges yeah it deranges consciousness it can fucks everything up yeah so it's just like it's a it's a crime against humanity murder is murder murder is wrong it's a crime against a human murder is my is my first one pedophilia and the extent to which these traffickers and everything that's a crime against mine's destroying someone's home that's like akin to murder to me like if you remove someone's house their ability to live that's almost like killing them i don't know the i
Starting point is 00:36:37 hope the world starts to see it that way like home defense is a big part of preserving yourself well i don't even yeah i think it's beyond that, too. When people lose jobs, they get absolutely zero forgiveness. They lose everything they've ever worked for. I mean, there's certain... There's a lot of things that goes along with that that I think is pure, not or evil. But yeah, when you look at something like pedophilia, yes, if that's something that you're wired for and it's something that
Starting point is 00:36:57 you do, unfortunately, I don't think there is redemption for that. So I will say, yeah, as a blanket statement, I will agree with you there. I do think... But I do think that there is a punishment for that so i will say yeah as a blanket statement i will agree with you there i do think but i i do think that there is a a punishment for that and uh that's death you know my only opinion my main opposition to the death penalty is there's no system perfect enough to protect the innocent when it comes to it it's like common problem with it is having a government with the ability to decide that bothers me
Starting point is 00:37:25 being like kill this person trust me you see trump said he's gonna execute anyone trafficking even women death penalty swiftly too he's like he's all about this swift execution kind of mentality it's very fucking creepy well 30 years on death row makes no sense if you're convicted of something warranting the death penalty, while I disagree with there's a decent percentage of people who are innocent, and decent could be 0.1, but it's scary.
Starting point is 00:37:50 But my point is this. If the process is such that you have been deemed through due process to have forfeited your life based on the crimes you've committed, why are we waiting 30 years? Well, I think it comes from the idea
Starting point is 00:37:59 of FISA courts and you're going to kill someone if the government's going to kill them. They better be fucking 1,000, like 100% sure, not 99. so it should they should be prioritized appeals process should be prioritized stays should be prioritized but for people who it shouldn't take 30 years also like if the cartel hires someone to run a kid across and they kill the runner did they make the world better no you didn't and you're blaming the wrong person that's just what do you mean what if you hire some if like a woman you're forcing to run a kid over forcing wait wait
Starting point is 00:38:31 no he said if a cartel hires a runner oh do they force people to i don't know if they if they subject i don't care and make them right i i i kill the mules i don't know yeah that's the trafficker i'm saying a forced meal and you know i don't i i think you have to still be harsh against people who are doing that the united states does not does not pay ransoms spain and germany famously do yes so what happens you go to the middle east they found out you're american they run yeah you're spanish or german they laugh kidnap you, and beat you. So the one promise that people... But in America, we give them shows on Nickelodeon. But the point is, you go to the Middle East. You get kidnapped.
Starting point is 00:39:14 You're an American. The only thing they can rely on is a bunch of JSOC guys jumping out of a helicopter and shooting their families and everyone in the room because they don't care. They're just going in there to clear the Americans out. So they're genuinely worried about capturing Americans. ISIS wasn't, which was really scary. But famously, when I went through the heat training, they explained this like, yeah, if you're European, typically they'll hold you for a long period of time
Starting point is 00:39:34 and even try and double the ransom because the countries just keep paying it. If there is a cartel that says, you know what? They're executing our traffickers. Let's kidnap someone's kid and force them to do it if the u.s says well gee now we can't stop the traffickers because they're being under duress that will just make them do it more of course if we then say i don't care why you're trafficking kids you are facing the due process penalty again not offended that a penalty but if that's the case
Starting point is 00:40:02 i don't think there's an excuse of but they made me do it. It's like, well, perhaps to a certain extent, I can empathize with that. But imagine if the US government didn't allow it. And a gang or cartel, whoever traffickers kidnap someone's kid and say, Now you will smuggle these people or will kill your kid. They'll be like, they're gonna kill. They're gonna kill, kill us anyway anyway there's no point in doing it granted i understand there's a strong there's a difficult question there in threatening someone's child to force you to do it you might say i'll throw my life away gladly for my to save my kid so they might still do it not an easy question but i don't think i don't like the idea of saying well you know we we can't because we don't know if they were duressed into doing it there there it's a really really difficult question there's that guy with the bomb on his neck who uh what did he rob the bank or something and then said they made him rather bank the pizza guy and then his head blew up or his chest blew up because there was no way to get the bomb off and then well no they didn't
Starting point is 00:40:59 believe him they said fuck you is that what it was yes they said we don't like get out of here and they sat him down and walked away and then he exploded okay they later came out and said he was actually in on it with the guys and the plan was to pretend i almost don't believe that it was a pizza guy i feel like they grabbed and pulled him in and put a bomb on him and then said go rob this bank and give us the money and we'll take the bomb off yeah anyway it all added up to the fact that he was a pizza guy yeah anyway. Anyway, flagrant. Was that sufficient? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:28 The only thing I got, Dave, uh, saw you in Greenville, gave you some crappy t-shirts, but you and Derek absolutely fucking killed. Thank you. People should go watch your show for seriously live.
Starting point is 00:41:40 Thank you very much. Congrats on new world because certain people lost very fucking excellent talent and it's awesome seeing you guys grow each week thank you very much i really do appreciate that did you give me the the disney shirts yeah the uh magic groomed them oh dude i wear those they're not crappy they're comfy yeah yeah yeah yep uh that those came from the site yeah we actually made them so oh dude those are you like them dude i do like them yeah they're comfy man i'm gonna wear it on the show for you no dude it i'm trying to get uh our third party producer crapped on us with fulfillment so i'm working i've got a. We're just trying to get the machines
Starting point is 00:42:25 because I'm going to go direct to customer because I'm not going to deal with that again. Oh, right on, dude. I thought they were funny, man. And they are actually a comfortable fabric, which was nice. Because sometimes people give you that crunchy, harsh stuff.
Starting point is 00:42:38 Yeah, it's very starchy. Yeah, and you're like, oh. And these ones are the ones where you're like, oh, this is awesome. I'm going to wear this around the house. This is comfy. Carrie Lake gave me the most comfortable t-shirt I own. But it says Carrie Lake, so I can't wear it around unless I'm campaigning for it.
Starting point is 00:42:51 You feel like arguing. But I sleep in it. Hey, Flagrant Trigger, do you have a website where you sell your shirts? Yeah, it's flagranttriggers.com. We're just temporarily down because, again, that third-party producer just crapped out on us because we're a small business and we weren't bringing in the numbers of bigger businesses. So people should save it and check it out later.
Starting point is 00:43:12 Will you tell me when you go back up and I'll rock it on the show for you? Yeah, I'm going to, we're going to try to crowdfund just to see if we can get some of the brunt of the startup costs, uh, out of the way, but I'm just going to do direct to customer-customer because that's just way better,
Starting point is 00:43:26 and I know the work will get done. Cool, man. Right on, man. Well, thanks for calling in. Thank you, guys. Have a good one, dude. Thank you. All right.
Starting point is 00:43:34 We're going to give a crawl a try. A crawl. Come on, crawl. A crawl. Can you hear me this time? Yes. Persistence. What up?
Starting point is 00:43:43 Can you hear me this time? Yeah. Yep. Oh, good. Sorry, me this time? Yeah. Yep. Oh, good. Sorry. It was a headset issue. Nice. So you guys have mentioned a few times now, like the X app is going to be everything.
Starting point is 00:43:54 And, you know, you kind of mentioned also it's kind of getting creepy. And then you mentioned the Chinese surveillance state and all this. I think, by the way, I'm the 3A guy that called in a couple of weeks ago, Third Amendment. Oh, right. So I think there's another aspect of this, which is, do we have a reasonable expectation to not be observed by the government if we don't want to be? Yes. Yes. The right to privacy. And I think there's, but it's hard, isn't it? It's especially if you interact with these apps, we know that the government is giving this data. For example, if I have an end to end encrypted app, if the government can break that encryption, should they?
Starting point is 00:44:33 No, no. That's a Fourth Amendment violation. And they're violating the Constitution. Just because they can doesn't mean they should be doing it. They are evil people. They are bad. And I kind of take another look at it. I think because it's happening anyway,
Starting point is 00:44:47 like the Chinese, the Russians, they're all spying with satellites that the CIA is like, fuck, we have no choice. We have to get rid of this. All evil. No, thanks. Evil.
Starting point is 00:44:56 I don't know if it's evil. It is evil. I was going to build upon that. I was going to say the government thinks of privacy as almost like relative to the current society. So privacy meant something different in 1900 than it does today, which I don't know if I agree with that. But they're like, oh, everyone's got cell phones. Of course, you know, we got to listen in.
Starting point is 00:45:16 Sometimes make sure you're not a terrorist. It reminds me of an argument like it's already happening, so you should be OK with it. But like, I'm not OK with it. And the government doesn't have the right to do it the argument they're making is that by you going to twitter it's like you walking out of your house and walking into a starbucks anyone can watch you do it therefore they have a right to track all of that the difference is tracking your your internet you know tracking all the internet stuff is a picture perfect uh view of your life and the average person thinks when they're online they have privacy that's that that's the issue and they're saying well
Starting point is 00:45:54 you know we can do whatever we want well aren't you supposed to have privacy yeah on in on the internet i mean regardless like shouldn't you like the same as any phone company the same as anything else like the idea is you should have it yeah the idea of phone tapping is kind of i suppose the issue is people right assumed because they were in their home by themselves no one could see what they were doing and it's never been true oh i know it's never been true but isn't the idea that it should be that's well i mean i think people have a right to choose to make their make themselves anonymous or private on the internet yeah i mean i think people have a right to choose to make their make themselves anonymous or private on the internet yeah i don't think it should all by default like that would be like
Starting point is 00:46:30 saying should everybody who walks out of the house put on a cloak to cover conceal their identity it's like well of course yeah you have the choice to the government shouldn't be allowed to spy on you and follow you around like if you if you were leaving your house and going to starbucks every day and the cops were following you and spying on you, at a certain point, I think it violates the Fourth Amendment to follow you in public.
Starting point is 00:46:49 Yeah, I think if you go to the Starbucks and rob it, it's different than if you go to the Starbucks and talk to your friend and they hear that conversation. What I'm saying is the government's argument is that once you're in public, it's not a Fourth Amendment violation
Starting point is 00:46:59 because anyone can see it. But that only makes sense if it's a reasonable reasonable observation that is the cop driving down the street saw you cross the street into the starbucks and he says i saw him if they're following you every day they're violating your privacy i'll put it this way if if a guy goes to a woman's house and watches her every day he will be told to stop it's stalking it's harassment no she's in public i'm yeah right so the cops should be able to do it either and that pertains to the internet as well until we have though i think a global governance of some sort we won't be able to use law to like as our backstop for hey get out of my bedroom
Starting point is 00:47:35 because they're just going to do it other countries governments don't have first they don't have amendments constitutionally and stuff like that so they'll just take what they can take what they can take what they can. That's a weird, weird time to be alive. Having to rectify the job of your government to say, Hey, our people have rights and you can't violate them.
Starting point is 00:47:53 But under like, you can't be a foreign government saying that you're doing stuff on our phone. Like that's the whole argument with like tick tock, right? Like we don't consent to our data being given to the Chinese communist party and tick tock because of the way it's structured and where it's based has to turn over user data and so it's the job of the us government to say like no you can't just have the right to it but under threat of what would be my question like we're gonna blow your satellite up you're listening satellite right now it's like
Starting point is 00:48:18 you can't operate here so at threat of their business but i'm down like if if someone is spying on on people without their consent using a device yes remove the device but well i if you can but like the whole and we can spying apparatus is like dudes in closets with headphones on watching and listening to the internet no there are the occasional spy balloons no they're in an office building where they've tapped into the back hall and the deep sea cables and they're just sitting there looking at a computer saying i have it all. So unless you're going to kill everybody doing it, but I don't
Starting point is 00:48:48 think that'd even stop it from happening. So it's like if someone installs a device onto a deep sea cable to steal data, we should disable that device. Yes, I agree. Anyway, Kroll, did you want to elaborate? Is there anything else?
Starting point is 00:49:03 I think there's a subtle distinction that's missing here, which is, it's not that the government is investigating. It's they're just scooping it up just because, right? For example, in the Stasi in East Germany, they had maybe one in four,
Starting point is 00:49:17 maybe one in three people informing for the government, which means somebody inside your house is doing it. And which means you have your house is doing it, which means you have no reasonable expectation of any kind of privacy at all. And as Americans, I feel like we should. These devices shouldn't be listening to us inside our house or somewhere that we don't want them to, but they do. You know what I think is going to happen? And the government could.
Starting point is 00:49:42 All that data that NSA has been collecting for a couple decades, all they have to do is go to chat GPT, take one cable to another cable, and say, learn. And chat GPT will know quite literally everything about everyone in every possible way in any instance. Which is horrifying. It will then instantly go through all the data and build predictive text models, financial planning models. It will become some kind of super intelligent structure.
Starting point is 00:50:14 Minority report. They may have already done it. Yep. Thanks, I hate it here. No predict crimes. Yep. It'll say something like, you know, John Smith has a 98.6% chance of robbing a liquor store at this date at this time. And then a cop will get dispatched arbitrarily.
Starting point is 00:50:34 They'll be like, hey, we got an indicator saying we're going to send you out to 53rd and 7th. I'm like, you got a boss. Then he goes there and the guy is seen walking. The guy sees the cop and then turns around and doesn't rob the liquor store. Yep. And all John did was like a cupcake, a photo of a cupcake. It won't even seem like it's connected, but the algorithm will be like, no, no, cupcake, people who like that, they rob banks.
Starting point is 00:50:55 Get on a time machine. To go to the future or the past? The past. I just want to be able to smoke at a Burger King. Nice. Those were the days. Those were the days, son. Smoking a Burger King.
Starting point is 00:51:06 That'll be your VR experience that they create for you. Just enjoying it. I'm wearing really baggy pants. Anyway, Akril, did you want to wrap up that last thought or I don't know if I...
Starting point is 00:51:16 One last example. So this country could not have been created if the British were listening in on the founding fathers, right? I think they expected to be able to do that with privacy.
Starting point is 00:51:25 And that's kind of what I'm getting at. But, uh, yeah, we were really anti-spies. I agree. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:32 You're right. Yeah. We were really against them. Same thing. Keep going. Sorry. Shout out. Seamus did a great job.
Starting point is 00:51:39 And I also want to say to Raymond and Bert and everybody in the discord server, it's really great. I hope everybody gets in there. It's really a lot of fun. Right on. All right, man. We really got to get to some guy. So thanks for calling in. Yeah, we got you. We will. We will see you next time. All right. Last but not least, some guy, just some guy. Good evening, everyone. I hope everyone is doing well. Real quick, Tim, I hope the
Starting point is 00:52:03 coffee shop is coming along and will be open soon i think that's a phenomenal idea so i hope things are going quickly there um there you go go ahead we had no sorry you're really loud nice rich bass i'm sorry voice that was nice that might be it might be my mic i apologize for that good mic um okay so my question is for the penis master. I'd like to know. I've been going to comedy clubs for a long, long time. And really, I'd say over the last five, six years, I've noticed a steady decline on really all levels, both from, you know, talent, not you, of course, you're always great. But, you know, there's the show, the quality is going down, the quality of the staff's going down. I haven't seen an open mic night in, I don't know, five, six years. So my question to you is, what can we do to revitalize the comedy industry, get new blood in there? And most important, you know, how can we get back to people being able to bomb and be able to grow? And just one last thing I want to dovetail.
Starting point is 00:53:06 What do you think about those little bags? I think those are a really good thing. I don't know if you've used those at any club yet, but I think they're pretty cool. What are the bags? So I've only seen them at a couple places. Comedy Works uses them. You have to put your cell phone inside of a bag that they lock up right right so you keep the phone but you can't pull it out and you know i think that would really help for a lot of these struggling new comedians because you know you bomb now it's all over the internet and you're done so how do we get people to be able to go through those growing pains you know what i mean i think
Starting point is 00:53:38 a large part of that too is self-inflicted though i think a lot of comics have to realize there needs to be a long time there's sort of this instant idea of success where you're putting up the the sets where you are bombing and i think that's a huge problem i think uh i think we have to go back to actually enjoying the journey and not the destination because the benefit of being a comedian is it's all a journey there's no destination there's just the idea of you growing and getting better. Nobody's ever perfected it. I mean, we can not argue, but you can have a discussion about who you think the best was, but there's actually no real answer to that. Anybody could be the best. The best one could be born today. There could be somebody coming up right now. I think that is a part of it, too people are afraid to bomb they are afraid to be honest on
Starting point is 00:54:26 stage and the ones that you see that are really honest on stage and really good on stage uh aren't necessarily the ones that get the most notoriety so yeah you know and when you look at netflix a lot of these places it's why i like um i'm i don't know i'm blanking on his name all of a sudden and I've even done radio with him but he's really well known now has a mustache Andrew Schultz I'm going to see him next week he's great
Starting point is 00:54:55 he used to go on our radio when we were in New York and he's a guy who kind of he sold his special and ended up buying it back because what he's doing is true to him, and the reason why he stands out is because it's authentic. And I think when you see these comics that are putting out something that's truly authentic, you start seeing people migrating towards them.
Starting point is 00:55:16 And I think that's what people have to do is kind of learn how to become that. You're not that overnight. You have to learn the rules before you break them, and I think that's really what we're missing is people do want that sort of instant gratification. Go out there, learn to bomb, learn how to do it. Go up on stage. I'll tell you who's doing a good job. Honestly, I went to Rogan's Club in Austin, and he does kind of cater to that.
Starting point is 00:55:40 And the room is really good. It sounds good. You have people showing up. It's a hot room but you you can bomb there if you're new you know and i mean and it's gonna hurt a lot more because the room's hot so if you're eating it you're really eating it um but i think the idea is people have to look at they also have to look back and i think a lot of people don't look at comedy and the growth of comedy over the years either and that's something they have to look at is why is it what it is now and i just think it's
Starting point is 00:56:10 about going up learning to be unafraid being interested in the process and being vulnerable enough to be their own voice on stage yeah i like it i love it great man yeah that's but yeah and i appreciate the question and you have a great radio voice i gotta tell you that it's that's what everyone's saying in the discord chat it's really fun if you are not on radio please get there immediately yeah to me all the time well that that's perfect then let me let me end on this this is a question for anybody that knows the answer and and i'm pretty sure d's gonna, but I'm gonna throw it out there. What is the velocity of an unladen swallow? African or... What? I don't know that.
Starting point is 00:56:55 You got him. Turned his own question against him. That's from Monty Python, by the way. Yes. Hey, did Schultz... I think that was our last caller for the night, but I want to ask you, Dave. Andrew schultz did he just like was he working like workhorse in the background all of a sudden then he went on rogan's show once and then he became like world famous no that was me
Starting point is 00:57:13 uh yeah that was also yeah basically me yeah i i haven't been on it but he's been on our show and stuff and i've been at his club and then uh i i. I think what he's done for comedy is really good. I've never. Yeah, Andrew would come on like Bill Schultz show in the morning was where I met him. And at the time he wasn't really uber famous, but you could tell he had a voice. So I think he was kind of trying to go the route
Starting point is 00:57:39 where they wouldn't let him. The like, okay, I wanna, you're waiting for the gatekeeper where it's like, oh, I'm gonna let you on Conan. I'm gonna let you on these shows i'm gonna let you you know and the second that he stopped waiting and created his own thing is when he exploded so i think it was a mix of rogan doing his own special and releasing it himself putting out his own pod that's when he blew up was he went his own route you have to make something it's it's you know everybody seems to think that i'm when i was growing up it's like oh i want to be in a band i want to get
Starting point is 00:58:09 signed by a label i just need the scouts to be there or whatever like this was when i was a lot younger and me too dude i did it for 15 years you you go and do the thing and then if your thing is good people notice and then eventually someone comes around with money so but i i had a uh someone asked me just this past week they were like hey i want to get started on youtube what's your advice like how did you get so big i'm like well it's really easy you know start making your content all right you know you gotta put a lot of work into it get your channel going then go on joe rogan and then you're done yeah it's simple just get on the biggest show ever and then you win yeah yeah get lucky
Starting point is 00:58:42 yeah get very it's all luck and i mean there But there's a part of extreme hard work that you have. You put extreme hard work into it. You drew attention. You drew attention enough to be on that show, and then you kept working. You kept putting out content, and you put out interesting content. I mean, that's not something
Starting point is 00:58:57 that most people are willing to do. I mean, that's the reality. A lot of people just want to go like, well, yeah, but how do I do this easier than that? It is easy. It is so easy. It is is easy i'll tell you how easy it is go outside to places with a phone interact with people in interesting and unique ways post those to x you see that didn't yeah post those to twitter boo twitter tag people in it alex stein has been skyrocketing because he goes and just does the thing and it was good
Starting point is 00:59:28 and now he does more things and more things so that's how I got started how did people learn who I was I was in Occupy Wall Street filming stuff and they're like oh that's that guy that filmed that thing and then I just started doing more and more and more stuff Andrew Schultz did his thing and then people start seeing it
Starting point is 00:59:44 that's the power of the internet man you can do it because then you you guys all worked away at it like you you produced a ton of videos every day you're very consistent people know where to find you like you did comedy you performed you kept going i think there is a level of like you want it to be instant but if it doesn't come in the first six weeks you still have to continue forward you have to love what you're doing and then people will find you i slugged at it like an artist like a moron for a long time and it wasn't that i wasn't making money but i completely ignored the video element i had students at columbia 12 years ago put together an entire video package of how to succeed in youtube and i was like but who watches that i'm stupid so i just kept going
Starting point is 01:00:24 around and then you know eventually it's like, oh, I'm on Last Comic Standing. Then I get Letterman. But then the guy who books me on it gets fired. So it's like I would have all these big breaks and they would all somehow end up like heartbreaking. And then all of a sudden I was like, oh, I'll just go on this show. And I ended up on Ari Lang and Anthony Cumia. Then I end up on Crowder. And then all of a sudden people hate me for it for the right wing aspect of it and you start doing other stuff and you know
Starting point is 01:00:48 and over it it's like i just don't care so i just started posting my own stuff and just being honest and you know that's how i ended up on like they're calling me the penis master because that's how ari shafir saw me and booked me on this is not happening and like eventually when you're just honest to yourself and you stop caring really what everybody think and you're just true to yourself and putting out those videos all of a sudden people see you and you start making at least a difference to yourself instead of waiting for somebody to go hey we accept what you do now you kind of just have to accept yourself and put it out there and take over yeah tell like fox news's ratings are in the gutter you know fuck them we're we're gonna we're gonna grow and now everyone else is going to grow.
Starting point is 01:01:26 But we're going to wrap up because we're way over time and I got to go to bed. So everybody, thanks for being members. I'm back. Thanks for staying with us while Seamus was hosting. A lot of people had a good time. Some people aren't as big of fans, I guess, but some people are really big fans. So it may happen in the future if I ever take time off, but I'm glad we're able to keep things churning. So Dave, thanks for hanging out.
Starting point is 01:01:45 It's been a blast. Dude, thanks for having me again. I appreciate it. Absolutely. Anytime. And just to say it again, you guys as members are the only reason I'm able to actually go get my health taken care of. Because before we had the members thing going on, if I didn't work, money just stopped. And that was bad news for everybody, for the employees, for me.
Starting point is 01:02:02 But now because you guys are members, we have a consistent, you know, flow of income we can track. So I really do appreciate you guys being members. Thanks for hanging out and we'll see you all tomorrow.
