We walk over to the second bedroom and that's where we record. That's great. So when I do other people's podcasts, believe it or not, I get a little hitch in my in my breath. Yeah, like I have to carry a little paper towel to like wipe my hand. Really because you get sweaty their their their their their. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. A little little little little little little little little little little little little little little little little little little little little little little little little little little little little little little little. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. the the the the th. the the the the the the the the the the th. the th. the th. th. th. the th. th. th. th.................. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. th. th. th. th. little paper towel to like wipe my hand. Really? Because you get sweaty? Yeah, but it's because I'm not home. Right. Because I'm a fucking hermit otherwise.
Starting point is 00:04:28 Do you have social anxiety? Really bad. Me too. I have an incredibly bad social anxiety. And it's so weird for people to not believe that people with social anxiety can actually perform or appear normal. You're right. But it's because we've actually trained ourselves over the years to be really good at pretending to be adjusted. We have a, we have places that we are comfortable with. Like I can go to the comedy store. My girlfriend's like, why are you going to the comedy store tonight?
Starting point is 00:04:58 You're not performing that. Well, it's like the one place that I'm comfortable with sitting at where I don't feel like this like I always feel this immense pressure to have to entertain people, remember everybody's names, do all this I just feel like this this like kind of scope is on me all the time and when it's not but that's how I feel I feel like I'm the center of attention though I know I'm not but I feel that and it gets immense pressure to have to entertain everybody, shake hands, kiss babies, and all that weirdness that just comes with it. So I mean I've gone to birthday parties where I just walk in, shake the person's hands,
Starting point is 00:05:36 happy birthday and just walk right out and go home. So I showed up and I, you know, so it's, it's really's why my career comedically isn't as great as it could be, because I'm not really good at socializing, networking, I can't kiss ass and I can't really talk to anybody I don't feel comfortable with. Does it sound like anyone you know at all? Smiling and dialing is not my thing, hitting up agents to represent me, not my thing. I'm just really not into any of that. So yeah, I understand where it's at, where you're coming from that. Yeah, Bobby's exactly the same way. Exactly. To a Tee. I almost feel like there's, he
Starting point is 00:06:16 thrives in chaos and with extreme, around extreme personalities. And once you throw him back into the masses or the regular sane regular sane normal people he freaks out. It's almost like he's short circuits because he doesn't know how to express himself in a way that's more muted down or a little bit you know yeah but he feels normal around other crazy comedians. Right, right, yeah. And he's also been at the comedy store for about 23 years so it's like his house. Yeah He's there a lot and he's loved there and he, you know, where he goes there, everybody, Bobby! I do that. I called him Bob yesterday and I immediately regretted it.
Starting point is 00:06:51 I was like, I don't know well enough to call him Bob. That's a Steve thing right there, right? But I was lucky that he did slap the me. He's keeping it strong, so respect. I love it. So you guys are a Tinder hookup? We are. But this is when Tinder was still okay. We were Grindr. Yeah. I'll take it, why not? What was that like?
Starting point is 00:07:14 Now, did you know who Bobby was before that? He knew him from his mad TV days? I had gone to the comedy store once, but I had seen him. I had a comedy fan, so I knew who he was, so I knew the types of game he was probably going to attempt to play. So I didn't fall into that. Like the first thing he says, like meet me at the comedy store, nope, drive your ass to Long Beach. Yeah, in fact I didn't go to the comedy store, I didn't go to his side of town for months. Really? Yeah, I just th th th th th th. I just th. I just th. I just th. I just th. I just th. I just thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi that that that that that thoom. that that that that that tho tho tho tho tho tho tho thoom. I thoom. I tho tho tho tho tho tho tho that that that that that that that that that that that that th. I that th. I that th. I that th. I that that that that that that the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thee to the the didn't go to his side of town for months. Really?
Starting point is 00:07:46 Yeah, I just knew that that's what he was going to do. So women have to do that. Like you have to play this game where you can't just give it up really quick? Shadowplay. Yeah, it's Shadowplay. What's a shadow play? It's Bobby coined this term anytime you have to strategize its shadow play, basically. But I, you know, it's his place of power. If I go walk into the comedy store,
Starting point is 00:08:10 I would have just been the umpteenth girl he would have had around his arm that year. Yeah. And I know that somebody with status, somebody who feels that on a daily basis, needs to put in the work to feel like he's earned something. It's shadow play on my part. Yeah. Yeah. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I to. I to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to have to have th th th thi to have to have to have to have to have to to to have to th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to have have th. to have to have the to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to to to to to to to to to to thateee the the the the put in the work to feel like he's earned something. Yeah. It's shadow play on my part. Yeah. I had a shadow play him back. Yeah, yeah. Bobby Lee's an enigma and I love it. He's a wonderful person. You guys are really similar. Yeah. You had no idea. Me and George, we had a meeting last week and we just like had a heart to heart where I was like, you're because we're basically wards. th like Robbins, and we both have lunatic Batman's.
Starting point is 00:08:45 Like if you didn't tell Batman to do something, he wouldn't put on his cape, he won't get into the Batmobile, but once he does, he performs, you know, so. Yeah, so listen, are you excited about crazy rich Asians? As a Filipino, does that resonate with you? It resonates in a, okay, in the Philippines, there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's, there's, the Philippines. . It resonates in a, okay, in the Philippines there's a tier. We don't have a middle class.
Starting point is 00:09:07 It's either you're very rich or your dirt poor. It's a third country. And that has to do with where you're born. Yeah. Is it easy to move up as from the poor to the super rich? The rich, just keep getting richer there. There's, like I said, there's no middle class there. So when I watch a movie like that it reflects even though I'm happy that it's a full Asian cast it reflects something that I know to be... Oh that's an interesting take on that. It's a it's a
Starting point is 00:09:36 rich kid thing. It's a what's it called they have class systems? It's a class system almost. Like with any I'm sure even even China where there's, even though the standard of living is much higher, right, there is like the super rich and then there's a super poor. I mean in particular like, India and Indians, they're considered Asians, which always cracked me up, but you know, like they're considered Asians and that's a real caste system, like super rich super rich and untouchables. I mean the Philippine the islands it's 2,000 islands 7,000 islands 7,107 depends on high tide low tide but also some of the islands disappear in the
Starting point is 00:10:17 high tide wow okay so many people do the live on that they don't live on the ones that get submerged high time. Yeah you're like eight dialectics or is they more? More? More way more? th? the the way? Wow? the way? the way? the way? the way? the the way? the th? the th? th? th? th? the th? the the th? the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. thous. th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. thous. thous. thous. thous. thous. the the the the the the the th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the thi. thi. the thi. the thi. the thi. I thi. I thi. thousand thousand the thousand the the the They don't live on the ones that get submerged. Eight dialects or is it more? More, way more. Tagalog is the main language, the national language. But I don't speak Tagalog. I speak one from, it's called Bessaya. Let's get the origin story. So where did it all go?
Starting point is 00:10:38 Because I know that you're, um, one of the loves of my life was was was was was was was the life life life life life is life life life is life life is life life life is life life life life is life is life life life life is the the the the loves of my life was half Filipino. She was a Mexiopino, in my opinion. If you drop Filipino in anything, it makes it better. It's like the umami of races. And she is like, so I know that you're a mixed breed if you will, if she used the terms of a- Well, we're all mixed breeds. What are you? I'm, look at me. I got crooked tees, red hair, red, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th.............. th. th. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I, th. I, th. I, th. It. It. It. I'm. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It, th. It, th. It. It, th. It's, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. It's, to be a No, I like being a mutt. So yeah, where did it all where were you I was born in Sabu I was born and raised there until I was 15 and then I came here and that's that's my
Starting point is 00:11:14 life. I identify with being Filipino more so than my father who was Egyptian and French, but he lived in the Philippines with us. I don't know that side of my family. Do you know what that comes from? That's very primal shit. You tend to identify with your mother's family. Do you know why that is? And that happens? Because with me, when I talk about on stage, I talk about how I'm Armenian. I'm half Armenian, I'm equally as much Italian, I'm as equally as much Italian as I am Armenian, but for some reason I identify with the Armenian side. And not that my Italian side didn't love me at all or anything, they showed me nothing but love the whole time, but you tend to have a closer bond with your mother's side, because in the weirdest of ways, it is the one part of the family that you 100% know is your family. That, you know, it's like with your dad, your dad, unless he does a DNA test, hopes it's his kid and I know
Starting point is 00:12:13 it sounds really crazy, but that's why the mother's side of family tear the kid more than the father's side of the family because they 100% know that that's their kid. Yeah. Yeah. I've had friends that had babies and they're like, oh man, I love my husband. Once I had a child, I knew that I love this thing instantly way more. I'll push them into a volcano. That happens to a lot of women where if their man decided to break things off after the child, they're not as grief-stricken. Because because're like wait you you know you gave me a seed thank you good-bye yeah right so it's interesting if it makes sense you you're right you connect more with the Filipino side also my dad was
Starting point is 00:12:53 incredibly old he was 36 years older than my mom how old was your mom my mom my mom was 23 when she had me my dad was already in his 60s. Good for your dad! And the weird part is that you would think that it was just some stereotypical foreigner goes to the Philippines, get some young hussy, you know, opportunistic husky, but that's actually not how it worked at all. My dad and you guys might find this interesting. He used to tell us tall tales about things that I had been shot in the spine or my Humvee rolled over and we always thought these were like grandiose ways of maybe connecting
Starting point is 00:13:30 with us. And when a couple days ago we looked through, I didn't even know he was a fucking Army veteran. We looked through his old paperwork, his papers. And it turned out he wasn't lying. He actually worked for an intelligence agency. For years, before it was the CIA, my dad was born in 1924 and he was a part of the CIC, which is like specially trained agents. Yeah, and that's how we ended up in the Philippines. Wow, that's incredible. And all this time I thought he was just foolish. I always said, oh he was some international man of mystery, but I never that. that. that. I that. I that. I that. I that. I that. I that. I that. that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that was just that was just th. th. th. that was just that was just that was just that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's was just was just was just was just was just was just was just was just was just. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the th. the th. th. th. thi. that. that. that's that's that's that's that's that's time I thought he was just foolish it. That's... I always said, oh, he was some international man of mystery,
Starting point is 00:14:07 but I never know what that meant. I just said that just to say it. So when did you find out that it was all true? Last week? What? Really? Yeah, because I was... My sister and I were unearthing all of these old photos just to look at them. Where's your sister live? In Atwater.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Okay. And yeah, we found out that he was in this thing called the CIC and he was pretty high ranked and I looked it up by Wikipedia and it was like, oh my god. Really? This mothucker really is James Bond. That's so interesting. That sounds like a movie, right? And now of a sudden, you got skills you didn't even know and you can start killing people.
Starting point is 00:14:47 I had just flame shooting out of my hand. That's great. Wow. I wish that. I knew my, see, my dad, I love him the death. I love him. But he is, I'm thankful that I had such a flawed dad. He's very flawed. So I got to to to to to to that I got that I got that I got that I that I got that I that I that I that I that I that I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had that I had that I had a that I had a that I had a that I had a that I had a that I had that I had that I had that I had that I had that I had. I had. I had. I had. I had. I had. I had that I had. I had that I had that I had that I had that I had that I had. I had. I had. I had. I had. I had. I had. I had. I had. I had. I had. I had. I had. I had. I had. I had. I had. I had a that I had a that I had a that I had a that. I had a that. I had a that. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to see what happens with those flaws and
Starting point is 00:15:05 when I saw those flaws in me I was able to nip that shit the bud. It's very interesting how you could either learn from your father or become your father very quickly. Yeah Jimmy Hendrix has a song called manic depression and it's about his mother and so he's the whole lyrics is talking about how growing up with a manic depressed mother and if you think about how his music... Manic depression. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:28 And as a kid, that was my mom. My mom has, my mom's manic depressed person, hardcore. My whole life, I remember like, mom crying and my dad's bipolar. So when you see the goblin, you're seeing like the two coming together. Yeah, yeah. I try like, I try like, I try like, I try like, I try like, I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thu. tha. thu. thu. thus. tha. today. today. today. today. today. today. today. today. today. today. tha. tha. tha coming together. That's why I'm like, don't look, look away. I try hard not to, but you know. Are you a superstitious person? So I'm very science-minded, but because I grew up in the Philippines,
Starting point is 00:15:54 which is very strongly Catholic, it's inescapable to be superstitious. You have to have some part of you that believes in it because I think it's you're so surrounded by it When you live in like a Catholic country like that especially a country that's been conquered so many different times Yeah, we've been colonialized everyone's house is on top of like a cemetery they didn't even know existed Dude cemeteries are so dope in the Philippines on November 1st my birthday.

In the Philippines, everyone goes to the cemetery and they get hammered for three days. For three days? Yeah, it's a massive party. In fact, it's a national holiday, there's no school
Starting point is 00:16:36 for that whole week. And, um, so they take off from school to let everybody go hang out in graveyards? Oh yeah, and then we bring food, we bring a whole roasted pig, we bring alcohol and people just party it up. Wow! And what's that called? What's the holiday call? It's all Saints Day, all Souls Day. All Saints and all Souls Day. And what does that, is there, what is the reason for that part?
Starting point is 00:17:03 Is the famous for that part? Is there like a famous event that happened? It's just we sit with a dead. So we sit with our family members that pass and we pour liquor all over their graves and get hammered. Do you do that? I was too young then to drink, but yeah, everyone was like fucking shooting guns just for fun around. And the cemetery is a very festive place in the Philippines. It's not as, you know over here we painted as like th as like the th the th the th th. the th. the th. the the th. the th. the th. the th. th. th. the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the th. the the the th. th. th. th. th. thi. the the the the the the the the thea. the the thea. the the thea. thea. thea. the. very festive place in the Philippines.

It know that, here's a few of the Filipino superstitions. Let me know if you know this one.
Starting point is 00:17:45 Don't sleep with your hair wet. Why? Are you wake up blind? There you go. What? What? Yeah. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:17:52 Thank you. I was actually, you know, I just wrote that some. thinne. Like, thiii. up in the morning like is both you can't another one if you're someone's laying flat on the floor which we do a lot in the Philippines because we we sleep on a banig which is like a woven that sounds like a racial slur banig yeah so if you jump over the person you can't do that you can't walk over the person or else they'll stop growing is that when you have oh hold on so a baby sitting This is actually an Armenian superstition as well. Really if I step over a child, the child will stop growing. And is that you have
Starting point is 00:18:28 to step back in order to reverse it. You know we all hear those things though but that is you know so interesting about superstitions a lot of them stem from just mothers fears. Do you know what I'm saying?, don't go swimming after you just ate. I mean, that literally has nothing to do with anything. It's just a mom was afraid maybe you might be too full to swim or something like that. Like, a very famous one. I remember my cousin saying she was much older than me. She's like, don't wear your hat all the time. You're gonna go bald. And you're like, that literally has nothing to do with anything, thia, thia, thia, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th, th, th, th, th. th. th. that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, to to to that, to to to to to to to to that, to time. You're going to go bald and you're like that literally has nothing to do with anything but I remember growing up if I and to this day I take my hat off and when I'm sitting in somewhere and it's because I don't want to go bald
Starting point is 00:19:12 right so it's like it's a lot of these things where it's just like mother's just weird emotional reaction to shit so I always acquiesced anyways just in case it's true you know. I remember I I I I I I I I I I I I th I remember I th I the th I remember I th I remember I the th I the th I the the th I remember I remember I remember I remember I remember I remember I remember I remember I remember I remember I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th th th th th the the the the the the an ty. I always acquiesced anyways just just in case, just in case it's true. I remember being in like third grade and there was a kid who didn't believe in God and he was very, his name was Richard Wheeler and he didn't believe in God and he just one day the kids were just racking him on it and he was crying during lunch he's just like I just don't believe in God. I'm just like, hey I'm like let the kid not believe. Who cares right???? the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the kids. the kids. The kids. The kids. The kids. The kids. The kids. The kids. The kids. The kids. The kids. The kids. The kids. The kids. The kids. Kids. Kids. The kids. The kids. The kids. The kids. The kids. The kids. The kids. The kids. the kids. the kids. the kids. The kids. The kids. The kids. The kids. The kids. The kids. The kids. The kids. The kids. The kids. The kids. the kids. the kids. the kids. the kids. the kids. the kids. the kids. the kids. the kids. the kids. the kids. the kids. the kids. the kids. the kids. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. kids. kids. the. kids. kids. the. kids. kids. kids. the. kids. kids. kids. the kids. just like, hey, I'm like, let the kid not believe. Who cares, right? Little Nietzsche over? Yeah, a little, and then the teacher came over and he's like, it's okay, but maybe you should just believe in him just in case and that is like the craziness that goes on, right? Like, religion would never last if you, if you try to sell it to people, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to the their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, they, they, they chitch, they, they me, theych.e, theych.e, they.e, they, they, to sell it to people in college like if you go if you had a religious fair where people had to go and pick up a religion they
Starting point is 00:20:11 didn't have religion until and now they can go to college and they pick no one and maybe Buddhism would be the only thing you have to indoctrinate people very early with this crazy talk that's the only way it sticks and that's what that's basically how this whole thing gets th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi thi th is thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. thi. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi thi thi to to to to to to to to to the to to to to the the the to the the the the the the theeeeeee. the the. the the, that's the only way it sticks. And that's what, that's basically how this whole thing gets passed on, passed on, passed on, is people pass on this weird kind of sickness to the generation as it goes. An ex-girlfriend of me, mine got me on Sunset Boulevard, there's a sign that spins. And it's a sad foot and it's a sad foot, if you know what I'm talking about, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, is, is, is, is, is over, is over, is over, is a thi, is a thi, is a thi, is a thi, is a thi, is a thi, is a thi, is a thi, is a thi, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is a th, is, is th, is, is, is, is th, is, is, is, is thi, is, is, is thi, is thi, is a thi, is a thi, is a thi, is a thi, is a thi, is a thi, is a thi, is a thi, is a thin, is a thin, is a thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thi.a. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi.. And she was like, oh, I'm going to have a good day. And I was like, why? She's like, it's a happy foot. So to this day, if I drive on sunset, I have to look, I don't even look at it, because I'm afraid if I see a sad foot, I'm going to probably like die.
Starting point is 00:20:52 You know, I do the for the Philippine team and I swam division one in college. Really? I'm a has been. I'm a has been. I was a good run. It was a good run. Team Filipino. Did you go to any big international events? Yeah, I went to Southeast Asian games. I traveled a lot when I was younger swimming. My sister and I did. We swam for the Philippine team. It was. It was.

So, you know, people don't realize the Asian games is pretty big, right? Huge. It's huge. I remember I was in China and they're like, yeah, the Asian games are going, I'm like, what's that? And the woman was like, are you serious? Oh, yeah, you don't know what Asian games are?

Uh, don't take a three-person picture. Ooh, I didn't know that. Why? Because the person in the middle will die from... Oh my God. So Aaron, you're in the middle of all of our photos from now.
Starting point is 00:21:55 No stuff, Cross, we love you. All right. Don't sleep with your feet facing the door or a window. Are you, why? Because you're inviting bad spirits to take you. It's always bad spirits. Is it a Filipino thing? Always bad spirits. Like if you're pregnant you can't sleep by a window. Really?
Starting point is 00:22:12 Really? Really? You know, turn it into a devil baby. Yeah, but we have some really weird ones. Like, the thi. thii. are not mythical creatures or things that they tell you tell children to fear are very different. Like we have a Parait White O, which is a priest without a head. You're supposed to fear that. We have a Babu Bakya.
Starting point is 00:22:32 And it's basically, I think it's our version of the Chupacabra, but it's basically a pig with boots. And it's supposed to somehow like insight fear in young children. But the most famous famous is called an Aswang, and it's basically like a bird creature, which is like a half human. Half a human, half bird? Yeah. And what's it? Do you eat children and stuff? It eats everybody.
Starting point is 00:22:53 Yeah, it has a long tongue and it kind of just... Well you never know, because like island cultured, it's biologicic, in the Philippines, like a tiny little like tea cup little elephant dude. So when we were talking about this one, do you have... Don't put your purse on the floor. Oh yeah, don't put your purse on the floor? Oh yeah, don't put your purse on the floor? But they think that's like all cultures. Is that just a woman thing? Yeah. Really? I know I don't have persons so I don't know. So do you have any personal weird experiences in the Philippines? Oh yeah. Really? Dude, okay I like I said I'm very science-minded but there's something that I noticed. We're very over-stimulated with with it's too much stimuli in a big city like LA but when you go back to, when I go back to the Philippines or go to the province province and the province and the province and th.. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. toeeea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. thi. thi. thi city like LA. But when you go back to, when I go back to the Philippines or go to the province and things are quiet, you feel things you wouldn't normally feel in a city.
Starting point is 00:23:51 You hear things you wouldn't normally hear. I don't know if it's my mind getting to me, but I, you know, randomly, like the hair is in the back, my neck will stand. Or you just feel a different presence, you know, as you. But my mom has, to this day, swears by this story that has basically scarred me my whole life and has something to do, she calls it Spirit of the Glass, which is our version of the Wi-Gi Board. Really? So instead of like real letters, we put down like a blanket or whatever. It's the same same exact it works the
Starting point is 00:24:25 same exact as a Weegee board but in the Philippine sheet her parents had a lodging house where they would take in college students and those college students would pay to live there essentially and one night they decided to play spirit of the glass and they whatever they did their prayer flipped over the glass trapped their prayer, flipped over the glass, trap the spirit, and then asked questions. And my mom wasn't a believer in the nemes. So tell us real quick before we get into what happened to them.
Starting point is 00:24:53 What do you do? How does the board work? I think it just... You put down a blanket. You do a prayer, you welcome a spirit into the glass? So you like, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the, the, th, the, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, the, the, the, the, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, their, their, their, their, I... And, I. And, I, I, th. And, they. And, th. And, tho, tho. We, thooooooooo. thoooooooooo. And, they. And, th. And, the. And, the. And, the glass moves, you do a prayer, you welcome a spirit into the glass and then you trap the glass. So you're like, hey, get into my glass. Get into my glass. Yeah, like an insect and then like flip it.
Starting point is 00:25:10 Okay. Yeah, the ghost insect is in there. So why would the spirit get in the glass if it's no, it's going to be trapped? Well, only to answer answer answer answer answer answer answer answer answer answer answer answer answer answer answer answer answer answer answer, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thogeaqq. I's to be. I's. Yeah, the gist. Yeah, the gist. Yeah, the the the to get. Yeah, to be. Yeah, to be. Yeah, to be. Yeah, to. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah to get through. Yeah. Okay, so you go, hey, get into my glass. Boom, you set it down. It's right there. And what is on the blanket? Anything? Like is it like a wigi board that has letters on it? Yeah. I don't know if someone writes on it. Okay. It's fine. It's fine. It's totally fine. You verify and this is in shadow play? So we have it on there. The spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit.

Is that what's going on? So we have so we have it on there. The spirit is in the glass and what do you do next? Then you I guess you ask questions and a bunch of lodgers in my grandparents house were playing this game and they how do you say when you conjure a spirit they conjured a spirit started asking questions and the first was how old are you she's like I'm 17? Where do you live and it said it the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th? the th? the th? th? the spirit? the spirit? the spirit? the spirit? the spirit? the spirit? the spirit the spirit the spirit is the spirit is the spirit is th. the spirit th. the spirit is th.

One of the guys had a massive fever that night and never spoke again. Whoa! So that is, so your mom was one of the college kids? No, my mom was living there.

It's a how, yeah, why planes crash? Oh, that's so good. The weather channel, that's gotta do something, right? Because you just gotta go outside to see the weather.
Starting point is 00:28:25 You don't really need the weather channel. Am I, anybody else? The farmer's almanac was over like 200 years ago, and it would tell you about what the weather was last year. Yeah. And that thing kept on, it still gets bought to this day. I know Aaron has a copy of a farmer's th. No, it's all an app. It's all app-based now.

Starting point is 00:30:34 or something like that. Jesus. It's black magic. Is there any legends of there coming out of there? Like a three-headed goat, ate a baby or something? I'm sure. Yeah. But mostly it's people who, it's a barang. Barang is when you put a curse on somebody and you either get them sick or get them poisoned or something to that effect.
Starting point is 00:30:58 So you grew up Catholic? Yes. Okay, so very, you know, you just follow your parents, but in the back of my mind I always knew that when I had any type of freedom I would bolt My problem growing up. It's like you're a raging like, you know your hormones are going Sunday morning and then there's girls your same age and they're wearing like nice dresses and you're seeing legs and you're like, I'm not dresses and you're seeing legs and you're like I'm not focused on the light right now I'm looking at the legs dude. I just never went my dad never you never never want my mom brought me to church twice. That was it. My dad didn't like
Starting point is 00:31:36 religion at all, hated it right out the gate so it never was a big-eyed thing for me. Now do you guys believe in you know when people get the spirit in them in churches when you go to like a like a born a the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. the the th. the the th. th. the the th. th. th. th. the th. th. the the. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. the., you know, when people get the spirit in them in churches, when you go to like a born again Christian church and when people get like possessed by the spirit? It's happened to me. Really? What? What?
Starting point is 00:31:56 What? When I was early on in sobriety, I would be doing lift for only like 36 hours a day, or 36 hours straight right and then one morning I'm dressed all nice and I'm over by down on Crenshaw and there's that big Los Angeles like it's an all black church it's the West LA church and I see all these like fine-looking black people I'm like damn I'm dressed nice I go in there and it's just like the Blues Brothers I was the only white guy in there and as it's Pentecostal as the preacher's the the preacher is the preacher is the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. I was was was I was was I was was was was I was was was was was I was I was was I was was I was I was was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was the blue blue... the blue. the blue. the blue. the blue. the blue. the blue. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. the the th. the th. the the th. the th. th. it's Pentecostal as the preacher's talking to Bishop it was literally like coming in. Pentecostal is hardcore dude and it was it was it was happening to me to where I just started dancing and I was I was crying and I was like what the fuck and he was loving it and he brought me
Starting point is 00:32:37 up every there was like a thousand black people in crenshods just loving this moment and I was just like having my time. and I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their I was their their is there's was there's was there's was there's was there's was there's was there was there's was there's was there's was there's was there's was there's was there's was there's was there's was there's was there's was there was there's was there's was there's was there's was there's was there's was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was the the the the the the th I was th. I was th. I was like like th. I was like th. I was like th. I was like th. I was like th. I was like there was like there's there's. I was just like having my time and he's like brother you can come back anytime anytime dude I shit you not and like I went back a couple more times man now do you think that you might just be more susceptible to the spirit like susceptible to the idea or you just threw yourself in there because when we first came to America my dad um was deeply he was part of this Mennonite Nigerian church. In fact, when we arrived in LAX, we were greeted by all the Nigerian church members. So we're at LAX? So you came out and all these Nigerians were like, what? Yeah, it was like, what the hell's going on? How old were you when this happened?
Starting point is 00:33:22 15? Wow. That's a good way to come to the US? And they helped my dad?. th. th. th th. th th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to to to to to to to to th. to th. to th. th. to th. to th. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. In th. In th. In th. In th. In th. In th. In th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the. the the the the the. the the. the. I. the. I the. I to. I to. 15. Wow. That's a good way to come to the US. And they helped my dad, because my dad felt, you know, he went, financially, just everything went awry for him. I think every person has that story. My dad, same thing, killing it and then just crash and burn. My dad was exactly the same. I mean he came from money. He was from his parents were really wealthy And then he kind of took off on his own did his own thing and then just crashed and burned But when we came to the states this Nigerian church
Starting point is 00:33:57 They helped rate like they fund raised they helped basically buy our tickets to the United States So my dad knew that my mom was very deeply Catholic,tickets to the United States. So my dad knew that my mom was very deeply Catholic but he told us like just be cool just go to church, just pretend you know shadow play you know basically and my sister and I they would do this testimonials where you would get up there and you would have to talk about how God has improved your life that week or whatever and then they would do the speaking in tonguong tong tong tong tong tong tong tong tong tong the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. th. th. th. th. to the. the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the to the the to the to the th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the the the. the the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. to the. the. to to talk about how God has improved your life that week or whatever and then they would do the speaking in tongues and then people would collapse. Really? And so my dad, you know, gave us a side eye like fucking go up there and perform.
Starting point is 00:34:33 And I knew that I didn't have it in me. I was like, there's no fucking way I can be serious and like, you know, go into a seizure. So I nudged my sister. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. And th. th. And th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi that, that, th. th. And th. And th. And so, th. And so, th. And so, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, the the the the th. And, the th. And, the the th. And, the the the the th. And, the the thi. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. sister, I was like, fucking take one for the team, bro. And now who's older? You are your sister. She's a year older than me. And she's so shy and introverted, too, but I was like, I'm not doing this. I can't keep a straight face.
Starting point is 00:34:55 So my sister went up there, eyes rolled into her, just shaking, taking the spirit in. I mean she did a whole performance and I was so proud of her and I was like you are a champion. But did you ever have to go up and do it? No, she did one for us on behalf of the whole family. She flung her body backwards. She did like a Rick Flaired Dead Man's job. It was like just like catatonic and then shit. It was amazing. How long did you guys go to this church? For months, we couldn't just break away after we came to America.
Starting point is 00:35:31 We had to thank them in some way. Oh, so they, they basically paid for your ticket there and then you have to agree to attend their church? No, they just became friends with my dad, my dad became like the church counselor, he was the only non-black guy there like the church that you went to and yeah he just you know he was an elder now in their church and we just had to you know attend every Sunday. That is so crazy. They were great people though. They were really nice. I just wasn't into the whole... No I'm with you and it's so interesting because you always see these like baby pastors have you the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the church. thi c. ch. ch. ch. ch. ch. ch. that's ch. ch. ch. ch. ch. ch. ch. ch. ch. ch. ch. ch. the church. the church c. the church c. the church c. the church c. the church c. the church c. the church c. the church c. the church c. the church c. the church c. the the the the the the the the the te. te. tea. te. te. te. the te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. wasn't into the whole. No, I'm with you. And it's so interesting, because you always see these like baby pastors. Have you ever seen where the show videos
Starting point is 00:36:08 of where like babies are being pastors? And you just tell that they're just mimicking what, that's what children do. They just mimic what they see. So they just see like, hey, how the teeth of the force is strong with. It's like Jim Florentine's son. Have you seen him?
Starting point is 00:36:28 He's like the youngest stand-up out there right now. Yeah. Oh, yeah. He's like 10 years old. If he sticks, that that guy is going to be the best ever day. So do you have any other stories of possession? or Philippines. We just want to hear anything. My brother-in-law seems to believe that he saw a real-life possession in the streets of LA. Really?
Starting point is 00:36:52 This guy just, he could have also just been on bath salts. Yeah, that happened. That flakka, you know? That should be a game. Possessed or flocka! So this guy was fully naked, sweating, just sweating, jerking himself off, but also fingering his asshole at the same time, making demonic noises and then running around in circles. Was he the guy on the bus?
Starting point is 00:37:17 Because I remember like a year ago, there was a guy that was doing that on a bus. On the top of a bus he was jacking off and fingering his butt. Maybe that's a bus. On the top of the bus he was jacking off and fingering his butt. Maybe it's the same guy. Maybe that's just his thing. I love LA, dude. But there are plenty of demons in LA. You're saying this guy has a haunted asshole? Demon dicks and haunted holes. That's what this episode should be called. You know it. That's incredible. How long did your brother? Did you say your brother-in-law? So there's, oh your brother-in-law. How long did your brother-in-law watch this demonic possession?
Starting point is 00:37:52 I mean, he had to call him this guy. He's a cop, you know? Oh, he is. Yeah. So he had, he got called to the shit out of his assu. I was dirt shoot. And then, but also jerking off at the same time, but then doing circles. You know, and then making weird demonic sounds. Oh my God. You know, and I take back everything I said about the LAPD. They deserve all the money. They get man. Oh dude, that is the thing between the whole, you know, cops, black people. It's like you have this weird kind of history of, you know, institutional racism versus the hardest job possible.
Starting point is 00:38:33 Like, you know, it's like any day you're like, I could walk into something that where I could die. There's not a lot of jobs that could do that. So you have these things that are just constantly, because, you know, there was institutional racism for a very long time. They basically set it up so that this black community could not succeed. People will get very angry when I say it, but it's the truth, man. It's like whether it's Jim Crow's laws and so on and so forth, the crime bill of 1994, those were all set up to make it so you would basically handicap the black community and then top of that.
Starting point is 00:39:08 I mean, when you see pictures of dogs, you know, attacking black people and then fucking hosing, that's like, people want to act like that's the 1800s, and it's like only like 40, 50 years ago. Yeah. So it's like you got this weird, so both sides have a legit argument. It is hard to be a cop. It is real fucking hard, man. I've been looking into us doing a ride-along in the Rampart division. I love how you just make shit up as we go.
Starting point is 00:39:33 Like, no, I've been looking into this ever since we studied about. Why specifically Rampart? Because they were involved with Tupox murder. Oh, we're just talking about rampart, like Temple Rampart? Yeah. That was a really corrupt police. MS-13? Yeah. That crazy-ass shit. Yeah. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:51 That little area when you said at-water, so the... They have the, what do you call them, the tiny tuners, the, what do you call the, tuners, the, what do you call themers, them, them, them, them, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, like, like, the, like, the, like, like, like, the, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the, the, the, the, the, the, tuners, tuners, tuners, tunners, tunners, tunners, tunners, tunne, tun, tun, tun, tun, tun, tun, tun, tun, tun, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the, like, like, the, the, tun, Tuners? Tunerville is the gang that's in Atwater. There's a gang called Tiny Tuners? Tunerville. I don't know if they're called Tiny Tuners. Tiny Rascals, I think that's Long Beach. Sorry, I'm getting that. That's the thing about LA nowadays and just in general.
Starting point is 00:40:14 It doesn't seem like there's still gang violence. There's a street called Hoover. It's below the 10. They wear orange. If you're at night and you see a bunch of people wearing orange, just blow the stoplights. Just talk to the cops. And I was a lift driver. I would just be doing pick up up USC because I was always trying to like pick up on like black chicks and they'd be like, you crazy. Never give me the time of day. So I was totally doing serial killer shit. the the the tap. So up college girls and never killed anyone yet so I straight blew a light and a cop pulled me over and I was like dude I saw a bunch of guys in orange and he's like all right just this one time yeah so you usually talk to him wow so demon I don't you know I used to live I prefer the hood over Hollywood yeah I would much rather live in where I used to live in long beach where it's like a couple a a a a a a a the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, I prefer the hood over Hollywood. Yeah. I would much rather live in where I used to live in Long Beach, where it's like a couple blocks over, they always say couple blocks over, don't walk over there.
Starting point is 00:41:11 It's never like that. Dude, the hood is amazing. No one fucks with you. No one cares if you're blowing up fireworks on the fourth of July. Just no one complains. Where Bobby and I live is annoying shit. If you go on the next door app, suspicious black man standing outside. You know, it's always some, it's just the most unimportant shit. Why are you on that app? Because one time I found a dog and I needed to post on it. I was like, hey, you have found someone's fucking dog and you collect your dog, you know?
Starting point is 00:41:44 And I haven't deleted it since, but the meth heads of Hollywood scare the shit out of me. Really? Are they bad? Over the living in the, where my sister lives in that water, with the tuner bills? They never fuck with you. If you're not, if you're not gang affiliated, they don't mess with you at all. Methheads, they'll mess with you all god-dawn big. All the time, dude. And you could tell when they got the sweats and the demon in their eyes. I saw this guy driving a like a, what are those small British cars, the really small ones? Oh yeah, the Fiatts? Fiat? Right? He's driving a Fiat? Right, the engine's smoking.
Starting point is 00:42:25 And I run up and I'm like, dude, you got to turn your car off. And I look in and dude, this dude was on a meth run like I've never seen. No, no, no, he's just like, me, ma'am, ma'am. I'm like, dude, turn off the car. Your engine's about the blow. And he's trying to grind to gears. I'm like, oh dude, you are gone, bro. I hope you can't feel it when this car explodes. It needs oil. You need to stop.
Starting point is 00:42:49 And they got, ah, and they just got no teeth. And all they want to do is suck your dick. It's fucking weird. What do you guys believe in all that shit. Ghost, everything. I think it's just much more interesting world to believe in all that shit. There's a psychiatrist. He's an Ivy League psychiatrist from Columbia. And he recently switched over and he now fully believes in demonic possessions. In fact, he is the guy that the church goes to, he advises the church as to whether or not it's a psychiatric issue or if it's a demonic possession. And the reason that he believes, this guy named Richard Gallagher, and the reason he believes it is because he cannot, even though if you were to, if you were to take into consideration someone
Starting point is 00:43:40 on meth or someone maybe with like an encephalitis say say for instance. Encephalitis? What is that? Like an inflammation of the brain from like an autoimmune disorder. So, okay. And it starts eating at your brain. It, you do exhibit similar signs of, of a possession, right? You lose your executive functions, you start to like contort your body, have like bizarre body movement and whatnot. But he said, how do you explain someone speaking perfect Latin? Yeah, is it weird? Or shit flying off the
Starting point is 00:44:08 shelves and I'm like, I mean... Have you ever seen anything fly off the shelves? No, not like that, no. The weirdest thing I ever saw as a kid and it's this isn't demotic, it's just weird voodoo, magic, whatever. I used to have this hat right and I could put the...

And he could count every single person in the crowd. He is Sam Kinnison's best friend, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, from way back in the day. He is so funny. I love that guy and he's so sweet. What other, do you have any other examples of demonic? I love these stories. I got some real ones. I'm fine with things. I'm fine with things thua. I'm fine with things things. I'm fine with things going going going going going going going going going. I'm fine with things going. I'm fine with things going going. I'm fine with th. I'm fine with things going.

So the actual word exorcism comes from the Greek word meaning oath. So the whole idea is that to
Starting point is 00:46:10 exercise you're using a higher power to command out. So that's why you say in the name of the father, the son, the Holy Spirit, I command you out. So the church went on record back in 1614 for official guidelines on exorcism, so the Vatican, and they revised them in 1999. According to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishop's signs of demonic possession include superhuman strength, adversion to holy water, and the ability to speak unknown languages. I think that's the kicker is the unknown languages. Because you know how they, they've always said that something like it's called like anti-NMDA encephalitis which is a very
Starting point is 00:46:49 specific type of autoimmune disorder that's caused by like a teratoma there's like a tumor made out of teeth bones and basically body parts what have you never seen a teratoma it's like a little baby twin living inside you a little when Clyla goes medical. This is awesome. I know that. I've heard of that. It's basically like a mini possession. You're being possessed by a little person inside of you. That died, right?
Starting point is 00:47:12 Or didn't make it? Yeah, or it's just a germ cell that didn't, it differentiated into teeth and muscles and muscles and bones and skinned. you know, body parts. That's insane. But a lot, what the teratoma does is it causes this autoimmune response that attacks the brain and so all it's called anti-NMDA ancephalitis and that's what they've always said. That's how they use the medical world explains demonic possessions. Because all of the, all of the symptoms are the same, except for the speaking in perfect Latin. Like the girl. Is it's it this it this it this it this it this it, this it, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the the th, the th, th, the th, thus th, you, you, thus thus the the the thus, you the the the the thi, you, you the the the the the thi, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thus, the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, that, that, that, thatu, thatu, thatu.auauauauauauauauau. thatu.auauauau. tha tha tha thata thata thata thata thata that, that of the symptoms are the same except for the speaking in perfect Latin like the girl Is it always Latin? I don't know sometimes it's dead languages like people will hear like bits and pieces of Aameric
Starting point is 00:47:53 Aramic, how do you say it Aaron say the word you know I'm talking about Aramaic there. There we go it's the language of Christ. So like it's like a dead language. Why is it dead? So it's like a dead language. Why is it dead? Because it's like an old, yeah. That's crazy. There's also so much crossing over with mental illness. And if you see somebody who's in like a full-blown psychosis,
Starting point is 00:48:19 or say for instance who's like a paranoid schizophrenic, they're very prone to like religious talk or just being really like biblical and you know repeating biblical phrases over and over and over again. So you could argue that you know someone in a full-blown psychosis would be able to mimic something that like how are how am I as a non-Latin speaker supposed to know that that person is speaking perfect Latin do you know what I mean or like or Jesus talk or Jesus dead language like I don't fucking know what that sounds like I'm just probably people who come in and they're like they're recorded but they're also
Starting point is 00:48:58 experts and they're like yeah that's Latin well well there's this idea there's a universal language that we all know so the idea of Adam, Atom, Atom, Amen, like Amen. So these are all like the idea of it all stems. Well it's all from the same, it's all the same, it all leads back to the same. So so much of the same way you say you say like, you say like mama is like one the first words like a child. child child child child child child child child child child child child child child child child child child child child child child child child child the the the the the the the th. that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the that's the that's the that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that of the first words like a child will say almost in all languages because it's like the natural way a mouth moves so I think like they're picking up on what's crazy though is I was like man is there any actual examples of demon possession in the Bible and Jesus is they anywhere from six to eleven times casted out like demons from people the most
Starting point is 00:49:41 notorious one is Luke eight chapter 26 39, and it's about the possessed swine. And basically the story goes, Jesus and his disciples were traveling when they came across a man who had been living among the tombs, which was like he was living inside, I guess, well he's probably Filipino and it was a fucking three-day drink band, beyond the dead. And because of his demonic possession approached Jesus fell before him calling out Jesus son of most high God What have you done to us the demons begged him with us? Do not do not do not torment us? So Jesus asked what's your name which is weird thing for Jesus ask? I'm pretty sure you knew it They answered legion is my name. There are many of us. Jesus then removed the demons from the man and sent them into a nearby?? the tie. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th th th of th of th of the thea. thean. thean. thean. thean. thean. thean. the the the the the the the the the the the Jesus then removed the demons from the man and sent them into a nearby herd of swine
Starting point is 00:50:28 and the pigs ran down a steep bank and into the sea and drowned. So apparently pig's life. We fuck pigs over so bad. I know. They're so smart and we treat them like shit. We had a pig growing up named Jigga! Chiga! My mom's... I do have another story. My dad, again, Mr. International Man of Mystery, he owned a shipping company in the Philippines. This is when he was still like doing well before the crash and burn. Yeah, shipping company, that's total CIA. Are you kidding me? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:01 And he, one of his cargo ships, which transported beer and furniture all over the Philippines, he, I don't know how he acquired it, but he acquired a steering wheel, or the wheel of, what do you call it, steering wheel of the boat, right? From a ship, a Malaysian ship that had previously sank. And when my dad put it on the boat and one of his, he driedocked the boat just for like, he'd, like, the the, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, the, um, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, um, the, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, the, um, the, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th. th. And when my dad put it on the boat and one of his, he dry docked the boat just for like regular repairs or whatever and then they took out the boat, my dad was lost at sea for 72 hours. What? And I remember crying, I remember so afraid, I remember, I remember thinking, oh, like, that's it, my dad's dead or whatever. So this like weird, they were like in the middle of like an eye of a th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the, th. th. th. th. the, th. th. th. th. the, th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, their. the, the, the, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the, the th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. t. t t t ti. toda. toda. toda. toda. toda. toda. toda. toda. toda. the toda. toda. toda remember thinking, oh, like, that's it, my dad's dead or whatever. So this like, weird, they were like in the middle of like an eye of a storm or something like that, they were caught in a typhoon, and the boat capsized, lost everything.
Starting point is 00:51:51 And my dad dry docked the boat again, to repair the boat, and with the same fucking steering wail. steering wheel. And then weird things during that dry dock started happening, like one of his crew, like a young dude randomly like died or whatever, and then they took the boat out again and it sank again. And that's when somebody in like that local area was like, hey, let's just bring someone in here like a priest or whatever to see, you know, what's going on. Maybe there's some weird thing. My dad is like totally, he's like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. th weird thing. My dad is like totally, he's like, no way. That doesn't make sense. I'm an international man of mystery. We don't do ghosts. James Bond doesn't do.
Starting point is 00:52:32 Yeah. We don't do that. Yeah. But he finally like acquiesced just to like make the crew feel safe or whatever. Yeah, and it the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th th. th. th. th. th. thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thus. thus. thus. thus. thus. that, th th th th th th th th th th th th thus. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

I'm. t. t. t. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. t. t. te. te. te. te live yeah and it turned out that the man said that to remove the wheel and that there was in and there were a lot of people living on the boat that weren't that had passed and that they were they were not going to allow the boat to float and weird things started happening my dad's this guy performed an exorcism like he fucking did the blessing of the boat or whatever and I swear
Starting point is 00:53:09 to you I don't know the full story I know it sounds really like kind of fragmented but when he came home my dad had a full beard but when he came home my dad had a full beard and he was like he was a man of God after that. He was a man of God to be like dude what is a chit Oh, your dad came home in a day and had a full beard? No, no, he was out. He didn't just grow a beard in a day. He'd be like, dude, what is it? Choo chit, chitia? So he didn't speak to us for three months. He slept on the couch for three months.
Starting point is 00:53:34 He was just growing this beard. He looked really depressed. And after that, he told us that, he, he, he, he, he, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, was, to, to, was, was, to, to, to, was, was, was, was, was, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, was, to, to, to, was, was, was, was, was, was, to, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, to.. to. told, to, to, to, too, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to. There was something there that was holding us down. We were and that we never he never set sail on that boat again ever we just let that boat die. What do you think ghosts and demons are? What do you think those are? I don't know. I don't know what I believe in. I just know that I have a healthy amount of fear in them. Enough where I'm like, hey, if in case you're around, don't fuck with me, I'm not mocking you. Let's say you and Bobby put out some kids, right?
Starting point is 00:54:12 Are you going to transfer onto them these Filipino, these Filipino, you know, these weird kind of beliefs that Filipino? They're not just Filipino. Okay, but some of them are Filipino. Some are very much Filipino. Yeah, the Bob Boy Bucke, yeah, with the pig and boots, I'll pass over to my kids. Don't take a picture with three people. That's a, that's very Filipino.
Starting point is 00:54:36 Everybody on Instagram is dead, by the way. Everybody's dead on Instagram. Are you going to pass these these these these these these these these these these these these these these these these these these these to pass these on? No, I was a really frightened child. Look at me. I'm an anxious person and I think a lot of that is because my mom has passed on all of her fears on to me and I didn't think that it would affect me because I'm a very reasonable person, but it does. It's somewhere in the back of my mind that I can't explain all I have these fears that I cannot get rid of. Do you watch the news the news the news? the news the news? the news? the news th th th th th th th th. It th. It is. It is. It is th th. It is. It is. It is th th. It is th. It is.

Do you watch the news a lot? Are you a big news? Women love the news. And do you love the news?
Starting point is 00:55:13 I did up until about a year ago when I realized it was very detrimental to my mental health. That's amazing. That's such a great, I think if a lot of times we get really sad that we can't control certain things in our lives. And so the one thing you can't control are things you do. You know, for me it's like how I see people like, you know, John McCain and George Bush and Barbara Bush and as all these people pass on or the news tries to rewrite their history with us, you know, we try to make George Bush like a good person because he gave candy the fucking Michelle Obama. Wasn't that cute though? Didn't part, you go, oh, no, I didn't.
Starting point is 00:55:53 It's all in like, he's like, he's like an old, you know, man, oh, like, and he's a different story. You can tell he's still racist because he was like trying his hardest not to really touch her. He's like, there's a blackie. Ah, here you go blackie. Uh, I want to become vegetarian. That's my next thing. And, you know, not watching the news. That is a really, if you want, I want change in the world, stop watching the they had the Supreme Court nomination guy interviewing him and like did like for my girlfriend her news is her porn like I don't know if you've ever come home when your boyfriend's like trying
Starting point is 00:56:34 to turn off the computer because he's watching porn when you weren't there you like oh oh nothing here you know that's my girlfriend she grabs remote she's trying to change the channel as I'm coming in and are you watching that again I thought you loved us but the point is is that so when I woke up the news was on and they were it was so interesting watch MSNBC showing this this interview and or this like hearing and the senator who's who's about to ask the question is like so now I have to do this and you know it was coming I have to ask you about your testimony in December 6 of 2006 where you said and right
Starting point is 00:57:17 there MSNBC did a voiceover of like one of the commentators talking over it so you couldn't hear the question being asked. That shit is all done on purpose man. This whole thing with fucking the Nike Kaepernick shit all done on purpose man this is all to get people to fight with each other. Did you see where the Parkland parent, you know they had the school shooting the Parkland parent, you know, they had the school shooting, the Parkland parent went up to- I saw that one. The shape- And he turned his back, yeah, I saw that one. Do you not think that's the most stage shit? You, how does that guy get to that moment? How does security let that guy suddenly walk in and try to shake his hand? If you don't think that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that you have think think th th th think think thin thin, thin, thin, that you have that you have that you have that's that's their their that's that's their their that one. I that one, that one, that one, I that one, I that one, I that one that one that one that one that one that one that one that one that one, their their their their their their their their their. their. their. their, their, their, their, their, I their, I their, I their, I their, I th. I thin, thin, thin, that. I'm, th. I'm, th. I'm, th. I'm, that that that that that that that that their, their, I this guy randomly can just walk in and try to shake his hand.
Starting point is 00:58:07 If you don't think that's all engineered, and the guy's like, I don't know who the fuck you are and walks off, oh my god, he disrespected the Parkland pair. It's all meant to get you not to pay attention. And then you had the girl sitting behind him with like doing this, did you see that? Oh, that's so dumb. And everyone's like, oh, she's saying the fuck. The white power thing? Yeah, if she's doing that, she's doing that on purpose.
Starting point is 00:58:30 The lady is Mexican and Jewish. Yeah, it's so stupid, dude. And the fact that her husband had to come to fight with each other. I don't fight people on that. And that brings us. I always tell Bobby because he's a fucking tragedy porn guy and he's also really, you know, he gets really heated over. You know, please tell Bobby I love them. Sometimes I think he thinks they're. Before we get out of there, because you have recently taught me something. I mean, besides, besides, besides, besides, besides, besides, besides, besides, the, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, and, and, to, to, to, and, to, and, too, and, and, and, and, and, the the, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the, and, the, the, the, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. t. to. t. to. t. tto. tto. t. t. t. t. t. t.there is no tiger belly I love that you just are open about everything and I'm kind of the same way you said something you're in passing you said you're such a gas slider and I was like what the fucks that I
Starting point is 00:59:11 paused the podcast looked it up and I was like oh my god I'm a gas slider and I'm I was like hey Sam you might be a gas slider he looked it up he didn't say yes the king of that and I hate that I do it. Do you do it to your woman? Do you, to your girlfriend? Let me break it down so we can explain it and I'll go through it. Here goes. Gaslighting is a tactic in which a person or entity, Sam, in order to gain more power makes a victim question their reality.
Starting point is 00:59:38 It works much better than you think. Anyone is susceptible to gaslighting. It is a common technique of abusers, dictators, narcissists, and cult leaders. It's done slowly so the victim doesn't realize how much they've been brainwashed. People who gaslight typically use the following techniques. One, they tell blatant lies. Two, they deny ever said something even though they have proof, like a podcast. Three, they use what is near and dear to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their their their their their their their their their their their theirthey have proof, like a podcast. Three, they use what is near and dear to them as ammunition. And that's me.
Starting point is 01:00:08 I have a razor, laser tongue that will cut to the bone marrow of truth with people. I recently did it to like someone that I'm kind of getting close with and I apologize. But Sam's seeing it, man, I can get right through when I want to, I don't pussyfoot around. You guys are so quick tongue too. Like for me, I'm a very delayed insulter when I want to insult, I can't like roast someone on the spot. Like three days later I'd come up with something, I'm like, I gotta text this person now. And it's just the moment has passed, you know,
Starting point is 01:00:38 but you guys are so good. It's just making someone feel that it's that it's that's that's that's deserve it right then and there, which is a gift. I don't think that's gas lighting. My, my, I thought gas lighting was where you basically sow seeds of doubt into people. Yes, but that's it, yeah, over time, in very subtle ways even. I thought it's like, like sometimes when somebody pisses me off, I'll try to poison their well. And I catch that, oh fuck this guy and everyone's like, really? Yeah, he does that.
Starting point is 01:01:11 And I'm like, oh, why do I do that, dude? Their actions don't match their words. They throw in positive reinforcement to confuse you. I guess. They know confusion weakens people. Gas lighting is very insidious. You don't know that it's happening to you until you're fully broken and you're like how did I get here? How did I doubt, how did I not trust my gut? How did I believe this entire story that this person's painted? And how am I left into dust? That's usually what victims of gas lighting, you know it happens happens to people who are in emotionally abusive relationships have been
Starting point is 01:01:46 gaslighted. My sister was in a relationship for six years and people outside saw what he was doing, but she is so, she is so smart and so sane and this woman fell into his strap. He was just so, he would just, you know, say the right things at the right time just to get her back in the right place. And then tear her down systematically in different ways. And he just altered her reality. He made, he made, we were attached to him, my sister and I, but there was a rift between us while they were together, which I thought was an impossible thing to do, but this person was a professional gas lighter. So if you had to say in one sentence what a gas lighter is, because I have to make sure
Starting point is 01:02:27 I'm in. What is the one, how would you describe it in one sentence? If you have the capability to alter my reality. For instance, this is a small silly example, it's in the past now, but when Bobby and I first started dating, this is how he would gaslight me. Hey I remember he gave me his old phone one time he was like use this because I had left my phone somewhere use this so I look at old text messages that weren't that old because he had just switched over phones and he was texting things to women like I would fuck you raw
Starting point is 01:03:00 dog and the things that were really inappropriate. Ha ha! And I didn't trip out, I didn't flip out. I didn't like... Why wouldn't he erase those before it gave it to you? Is that part of the mental... But that's part of it? That's part of it. If I, if I knew that it was gonna bother you, why I just leave it their, because, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, the, the, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, the, the, the, to, the, the, the, to.. to. to. to. to. to. too, the too, the too, the too, the too. to. too. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to think that he that it wasn't a big deal like oh yeah that was just you know friendly banter if I really thought that you would you know be
Starting point is 01:03:30 upset about that why would I just leave that there why wouldn't I cover up my tracks that's part of gas lighting but he even after I showed him the proof I was like hey can you not do this anymore I didn't do that I didn't text that that's not my phone phone phone phone phone phone phone phone phone phone phone phone phone phone phone phone phone phone phone phone phone phone phone phone phone the phone the phone the phone the phone the phone the phone the phone the phone the phone the phone the phone the phone the phone the phone the phone the phone the phone the phone th phone th. tho. tho. tho. the tho. tho. I'm that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that that that's the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th.

I's not the. I's thi. I's do that. I didn't do that. I didn't text that. That's not my phone. I mean, that's not my fucking phone. Like he, he says it with so much. Eddie Murphy, an old Eddie Murphy. Yeah. And finally, when I'm like, this is your phone, this is your phone. Let's let's don't fuck. And he's like, yeah. But I mean, and then he starts to eat. But that's th. And th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this. this, this, this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. this. this. this. this. if and then he starts to eat, but that's what it is like, and then I'm believing maybe this isn't his phone. Oh my God.
Starting point is 01:04:08 Am I losing my mind? You know, you're right. Like, why would you just leave this open for me to read if it was if it was anything malicious or if you were really try to the th of our actions. So we just try to manipulate the other person into acting like it's their fault. And that's how it goes. And with that, we go to everyone's favorite part of the show. He's been listening quietly.
