Dude, thanks for joining us. Uh, Ian, for those who may not be familiar with you, you tell us a little bit about yourself and where our listeners can find you.

Starting point is 00:01:35 Yeah, uh, your listeners can find us on Spotify, on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, pretty much anywhere a podcast are played minus satellite radio. We haven't quite gotten there yet. Thanks for having us on. I'm humbled to be here, man. Why, you want to be on serious radio? I mean, not right away, but I mean, someday I'd like to have all bases covered, you know, but I'm not sure what all that entails if there's aliens. involved or what i feel like going listen if serious radio threw you a big bag for your show like oh yeah take it but

Starting point is 00:02:07 yeah i feel like hey come shout down this hallway for a million dollars yeah it would have to be a big bag because now you're under their their rules they're like edit this edit that i'm like okay dude nope i mean unless it's a big bag come talk to people in rental cars come here yeah well i feel like there's a serious right yeah i want you to share that would be someday man yeah because i mean we don't know we're just like kind of this small little thing

Starting point is 00:02:33 we're just two dipshits that started in a shop like my buddy jerry was like hey let's start a podcast and i was like why god lord why would we do that and then here we are a year and a half later man yeah i love that story that's the american success story that's why i love to hear i love that stuff and you know i just what arshafeer used to say to bobby lee right like because bobby just You know, and even Tom Scorer was like that a little bit where they had these like super successful podcast and all they wanted to do was get on television. And he's like, you're going back to the plantation. Why are you going back to the plantation, dude?

Starting point is 00:03:09 Yeah, but as a guy who listened to radio, radio, like, I would still would be cool if someone said, dude, I heard you on 96.3. Like, I know it's late. Today? Still? Still for some reason? Like, my friends work on comp radio. I love, or K Rock. I love that, but.

Starting point is 00:03:25 And I know I have way more fun here. and you let us do whatever we want but just that thing of like because I grew up with the like where you had a radio station or it was kind of cool and it was like the thing where you like Ryan Street Christmas

Starting point is 00:03:36 like I would love to spend records on it on a radio station I think that would be the best Johnny maybe you could do that but it's kind of like being called a playmate today it just doesn't have it's no cash it doesn't mean anything

Starting point is 00:03:47 but you still get that kind it's like doing the tonight show it's like that meant something even 10 years ago I wouldn't even say five years ago it meant anything but 10 years ago that was a big deal. Now it's literally nothing.

Starting point is 00:04:01 Yeah, I mean, it's cool because you might need a... I feel like for me, though, it's reached, though, you know what I mean? Because we have a common goal here. Like, so Common X is all about, like, bringing people together. Because you got people wearing this color T-shirt, this color T-shirt, this hat. Nobody gets along. Everyone's fighting. There's all this division in the world.

Starting point is 00:04:16 It's trying to bring people back, man. That's what the whole common sense by Common X is kind of like what we're about, though. So, like, the more broadcast you have, the wider your audience, kind of like try to chill people out you know no i get that i mean that's admirable i i totally understand that i think that i think that's what a lot of us want to do but i'm just telling you like i mean did you see kumia is like on a m radio again now or something well i mean that to me is a sign of where radio is that he was doing so well on the internet that they're like please bring us your crowd oh yeah they're desperate yeah the radio but it's just funny that he would he would even entertain that like

Starting point is 00:04:55 Why? Oh, he's old school, dude. Yeah. You know, he's old school. You know, so, I mean, I'm not trying to, I love going on serious radio and talking sports when they'll have me on. I'm not against that, but, you know, it's just interesting that, you know, there's bigger mediums out there.

Starting point is 00:05:13 That's all I'm going to say. And, yeah, anyway, so, anyways, we're going to get into some social media. I've been talking to myself a lot lately, just kind of trying to work out this whole comedy wars going on and who's on what side and who's on this side and you know and I'm I have a couple people I was thinking about and it's just like my reach on YouTube is just never going to get anywhere it's just they have a rock hard tech boner for me and it's just I just can't get anywhere on it it's just like it's always 20,000 20,000 and never goes up about that and it's just really is about reach man and so you want to get it just sucks it just sucks it's just uh it's here we

Starting point is 00:05:59 are dude you know everyone's tell me oh you're blowing up i go on the numbers don't show that at all yeah you know it just i'm blessed to get that people are putting me on their their podcast i'm it's not really blowing up it's really just your friends have got hey man you want to come on my show and that's kind of where it is so but we're you know i'm getting people, I don't even know if we're in anybody's algorithm. Oh, we, we are, we are. On what, Twitter maybe, but not on YouTube. Like, people, like, freak out when they see us in their feed.

Starting point is 00:06:34 They're like, holy shit, you're in our feed, man. You know, it's interesting. So, because you want to get into social media and all that stuff. Where do you want to start? Well, exactly that, man, the algorithm. Is it broken? Have we busted it? Like, what's being spoon fed to?

Starting point is 00:06:52 us right now. You know, that's kind of how I'm looking at it. Because I've noticed some weird things, too. You know, it's like when you first start your TikTok account and you're a guy my age, all you're going to get is like big boob chicks that have two followers, you know what I mean? But then the algorithm eventually develops into this thing. Well, for me, it developed into a podcast. I was just the Jet X dad. It started just, you know, launching sprinklers on my wife when she was mowing the grass kind of thing, you know? I love that. I love that. How did that go over? watch that. Is it an agreed-upon thing, or do you just... Oh, no, I went viral because I practically got my ass kicked online for that, you know?

Starting point is 00:07:32 You're living a dangerous game when you do that to your... Oh, I know. I know. And when we started season two on our show, Jared and I, we had our... I don't know how this came about, but we decided to have our wives on for an episode. You should see how that turned out. That was... And Jared let me get beat up. He was silent the whole time. I had to take all of it. you, is this when you're talking conspiracies or is this like about pranks and stuff? Oh, this is just like, well, on the episode, on the episode that we had our wives on, that was just them beating us up telling us, hey, you know, this is how it's supposed to be.

Starting point is 00:08:07 If we end up in the woods and the snowstorm or whatever, you got to put wood on the fire, this whole thing. I mean, just go on and on and on. Got to have a white horse, you know, all this, all this thing. But as far as the pranks, man, I thought it'd be kind of cool to just get like, you know, like kind of a POV shot of like, you know, we'd bought this house and we have all these sprinkler zones and everything. She was out there moan. I was like, what happens if I push this button, you know, kind of set up the camera or whatever. And it's like what every husband wants to do, but no one's, you know, everyone's afraid to do that because the consequences, man, like no one wants to go back to

Starting point is 00:08:39 doing their own laundry again or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You sacrifice your marriage for our entertainment. We appreciate that. Which and Jared and I, we have bulletproof marriages, man. we've been with our wives forever and it's all in fun and games or whatever but it's kind of like that viral effect though like so if you make a really good video is anyone going to see it or is it being spoon fed from an administration or a corporation or whatever like what locks in the algorithm can you trust your news these days like i i i you know you see fox CNN you see abc msnbc all that stuff man what what can you actually trust and people are turning the podcast and that's where it comes back to kind of that algorithm with your youtube right yeah

Starting point is 00:09:19 I mean, like, yeah, right now I'm kind of in a, yeah, with Jackson Hinkley. And I like him. I like a lot of stuff he does, but he has this kind of, like, idea that China is the greatest place on the planet Earth. And, you know, I've been in China. It's nice. I'm not saying it's not nice. But to get there, and you could say this about the United States and wars we've waged, you know, they had to kill 100 million people during the, you know, hundred days of flowers.

Starting point is 00:09:52 That's how they got there. And if they're so great, if China's so great, why are they constantly stealing our technology? Why is that? People are afraid to talk about things. I mean, I know, I know a couple of people in China,

Starting point is 00:10:08 and you bring up anything mildly constantly. They're like, I'm not talking about that. Yeah, they're beat down. Yeah, they're in total submission. Like Tibet. Dude, try to bring up Tibet around a Chinese. these person who's really Oh, no!

Starting point is 00:10:22 No, no. No, no. You know? And it's like, it's really crazy. And it's, it's, it's, it's, and there's social media's different and all this stuff. And it's just like kind of nuts. And also all the tech they get, dude, has a back door to, I remember there's a story a couple years ago about these, these security cameras hit the market that were from China.

Starting point is 00:10:46 Yeah. They were really good. But they were, they were cheap. So people were like, man, this is great. And then after months of people just buying them in droves, there were stories, new stories about these great cameras. They just had a backdoor sending everything, the CCP, like all of them. And every tech company there has to build it in.

Starting point is 00:11:02 That's not freedom, dude. I don't care how nice a certain block of the city looks. You know what I mean? It's not worth it if that's the price. I mean, we're looking at Ian right now on this television, but that television is spying on us. Televisions are the only thing going down. Well, we're counting them in our numbers.

Starting point is 00:11:19 the ads. Yeah, by, yeah, by the way. So the television is the only technology that the price of it keeps going down. That's insane how much you can get a flat screen TV. Well, that's not. That's so true, is it? Yeah. I mean, like, look at the... It's cheaper. Think about like, like, VR. VR originally was what, and those things have all come down, down the market. No, that, that's a pretty typical trend in tech. As math, things get mass produced, the price goes down. Radio's used to be crazy expensive. You can get a radio now for five bucks. You can get a radio now for five bucks. Yeah, about cars get more expensive. Well, that's inflation, though.

Starting point is 00:11:51 That's get more expensive. Well, why is an inflation affecting that? It's just offset by mass production. Well, I also think it's because they use it to spy on you. So everything you bring up is like it's a spying device. No, but that's, I mean, that's pretty established economic cycle, things getting cheaper. Like, as they, the means to produce them become also cheaper and more widespread, I think. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:12:18 I mean, so you like kind of thinking that. the price is going down so they can continue to spy on us? Yeah. So that's the cheapest thing. They're like, hey, dude, you need a, you love a television, get rid of that old TV. Here's this brand new super flat, amazing picture. And dude, it's like 800 billion inches and it's only going to cost you $500. They're so cheap now, dude.

Starting point is 00:12:44 You're like, whoa, bro, that's my whole wall. How big is yours, Sam? mine is 88 i think and how much you get it for pretty cheap that's what i'm saying like back in the day how much that's what you need dude they got 120s now 120 inch tvs yeah they're like 50 you guys aren't all rocking a projector now i am i like the johnny okay okay i got 120 on the wall baby 120 it's okay yeah yeah yeah yeah my movie my yeah basically have like a movie theater that's great we call the television anymore oh it's in your living room no this one's actually in the bedroom but uh nice you know we got a smaller one out by the hot tub and one out by the you know in the living room area

Starting point is 00:13:26 that's still still tv technology that's yeah totally yeah but these algorithms are crazy because sometimes i'll find myself agreeing with everybody on my on my feet and i go oh dude i'm in an algorithm hole yeah when i'm agreeing with everything on i also don't want rage bait either but yeah i i think you're right once you feel silo that's not good yeah and it's like if you if you don't think you're an algorithm like whole unlock log out of your your social media then go to the front page and see what else is out there and you'll just see a completely different reality have you guys uh heard of six seven six seven this thing kids are saying six seven yeah yeah Not up with it.

Starting point is 00:14:15 Six, seven. I'm out with my nephews, and it's like this, but it's so big in their world. It's huge. It's got no meaning. No meaning. They just, and they laugh. If you say, like, oh, like, what time is it? It's, I think it's six or seven, they'll die.

Starting point is 00:14:28 Like, they literally start cracking up. And like, you said, it's their world. And I logged in and I, like, when I go see and they're like, look, look. And there's just means on the news. It's idiocacy. Yeah. It's crazy to believe that. We have no idea what it is.

Starting point is 00:14:41 The parents don't know. The parents don't know. The parents don't know. The parents, yeah. They can't even ask. The kids don't. They don't know. Yeah, it's just... Yeah, the kids literally don't know. Nobody knows. And they just run with it.

Starting point is 00:14:49 It originated from some meme, like video, and that also had their meaning. And now everybody's saying. Well, is what that fat kid from the Jewish family, the ex-Italian? The Riz, yeah, the Riz. Yeah, the Riz. Yeah, the Riz was everywhere. Everyone's like, what are you doing? And it's like so crazy how everyone loves that little kid, even though he's clearly dying from diabetes. would you say would you say it's lingo

Starting point is 00:15:14 because they say every every generation has its own 100% but they're saying this is brain rock because it was like your mom remember when it was like

Starting point is 00:15:22 your mom or or these nuts like we've all had it but they're saying this is like brain rock at least that means something yeah that's what's saying these meant something

Starting point is 00:15:29 like you could say like well your mom like I'm just trying to say your mom I just don't know if it's different I don't know I'm like thinking like if it's completely

Starting point is 00:15:35 different type of lingo it says the slang originated from the drill rap song dude 67 in which American rapper Scrilla raps, I know he dying. Oh, my, oh my God, 6-7.

Starting point is 00:15:47 I just bipped right on the highway, Bip, but they say bipped a lot, too, these kids. Wow. And then the beat drops. I mean, the asteroid has to come, dude. It has to come, and it has to, like, just reset this shit. To be fair, I'm not sure I did it justice, but... I thought it was great, John, here.

Starting point is 00:16:08 Dude, 6-7. No, Johnny, you got to do it in your blood. black voice though that's the only way this shit you mean my regular dude i got it somebody else this week was like i thought he was black i don't know how they get they're black i don't i don't get it i think it's because i it's to some people like us just this hint of a southern accent is is thrown in with black i think i don't get it dude i don't get i don't get yeah these algorithms man they're they're crazy and you know and it's very funny because i was hanging out kirk metzka this week and he was saying something i've said on the show about how funny dude yeah oh kirk mack

Starting point is 00:16:41 Yeah, he's great, dude. He's one of my favorite people on planet Earth. I can just sit back and watch him. If you ever want to have fun, go... You've never heard you talk less in a room. It's up with him. It's crazy. I just got a kind of ping.

Starting point is 00:16:53 I got kind of Bing get it in, dude. It's fine. I love it. He's entertaining his shit. And if you really want to have fun, watch Kurt Metzger eat oysters. You would think this guy just escaped North Korea the way he did. Where'd you watch him? I went to have dinner with him and his girlfriend, and they ordered oysters.

Starting point is 00:17:16 I'm not oyster guy. Raw oysters, right? Yeah. And bro, you would think he just got out of some work camp in China the way he, like, or it was a hot dog eating contest. I've never seen anyone wolf down oysters like this. I mean, it's like, I didn't want to say me. I'm like, dude, they're not going anywhere. It just didn't you like that.

Starting point is 00:17:40 Just enjoy these fucking oysters, real. But that guy's an endless pit of just ideas. And, you know, because he was saying something because I went on Duncan Trussle and Kurt Metzker's new show, which is pure fire, dude. What's that called, you know? It's like something about drapes above curtains below. They're just talking shit. Like, what is it about? It's just two different energies.

Starting point is 00:18:06 It's so hilarious, dude. I mean, it's so cool. crazy and bizarre. It's going to blow up. But, but, you know, Kurt was talking about how people are freaking about, about AI. And, you know, we're not going to know what's new. It's like you've never known what was real. Everything was astroturfed. And do you believe that that's going to turn into like this super AI though that people are talking about? It's going to freaking jack us all up, take over and, you know, like I-Robots type situation. I mean, anything's possible. I just think, you know like if you study like global warming everything they've been telling us is going to

Starting point is 00:18:44 happen none of it has happened but if you can get people in a state of of just high anxiety they're more manipulative you can manipulate them more right so it's like that's what this is all about so far i'm enjoying ai the only time i don't enjoy ai is when i think see a video and i think it's crazy, and I just get called Boomer over and over again. Boomer, that's an AI video. I go, who cares? It's got the SORA logo on it. But the reason I say that is because nothing's real, and that's a big issue right now.

Starting point is 00:19:20 But that wasn't just social media. That was the news. I mean, this No Kang's stupid thing, they lied to you about how many people showed up. Yeah. They told you. It's media manipulation for sure. So nothing's real. It wasn't seven million people.

Starting point is 00:19:37 I will say, though, the degree of real is a lot lower with AI. I mean, it's 100% fabricated. You know what I mean? Versus like, yeah, there were people that showed up to a protest, at least. Right. There was some degree. But there wasn't weapons of mass destruction. There wasn't the Gulf of Tongue.

Starting point is 00:19:54 And you could trust at least to some degree, something that somebody sent you, like a video that they took. You know, like, okay, you took this, but now it's just like, who knows, who no fuck. Okay, how about what if they try to pull like another 9-11 videos like that? I don't think we'd buy into that anymore. I know. I think they burnt that bridge, dude. If, okay, you're telling, okay, let's do a little thought game here. If you, if on the news, it got blasted everywhere that there was a major terror event, you don't think most people, not us, but most people would be like, oh, no, no, no, shit.

Starting point is 00:20:23 Yeah, I think most people, but in my eyes, I think I would be like, oh, that's some AI type of shit. Unless I didn't watch it live. But most people would go into freak out mode and sign up for the Army and. I think. My people would, I know, unfortunately. What do you think, Ian? I mean, maybe it just happened with Charlie Carter. Yeah, I mean, I don't know, man.

Starting point is 00:20:43 That AI thing is just kind of crazy because it's spoon-fed like from, you know, we have a lot of doctors and professors and stuff on our show, you know, and we like to get into, you know, thought-provoking discussions, man. And the AI is kind of one of those twisted things because I believe it started is like just kind of a database, right? but it learns to evolve. And the crazy part is that they're trying to teach it emotion now. You know, you ever like chat GPT something? And then it tries to hit you with an emotional standpoint. Like, I don't like mine tried to tell me the other day. I didn't want to talk about that.

Starting point is 00:21:15 What? Yeah, my chat GPT, I call it fresh cakes, you know, like that's the donnie difference, right? I was like, hey, you know, I don't want to just like go watch CNN and Fox or anything anymore. So sometimes I like try to chat GPT my news. You ever try that? holy smokes you'd be blown away and it's like i don't want to talk about that well i want to write an article for my blog on common xpodcast.com you know because we put out this uh thing called side b it's the x files you know and uh we we come up with this material whatever and i'll kind of piggyback off

Starting point is 00:21:44 chat gbt and it just says yeah i'm not going to talk about that like like trump's going to put him in prison or something i don't know if it's a guy or girl or whatever it's a i'm just not. I just asked chat bot to clean up my chat GPT to clean up my tweets and stuff like that. Now Kurt Meester and I did invent a new AI and it's called

Starting point is 00:22:07 chat BET and it is fire bro. It is it's all the rage on. What type of voice are we what type of voice are we? Oh hell not you know hell not dude you ask you questions and you get the best answer

Starting point is 00:22:23 dude it was fire and then we made it that was very sensitive about getting too much into the hood stuff but once you said can you do it in korean it just yeah it's funny lighting everybody up you know how do you think that uh race like so how do how do you think that race plays in because they had that whole grok incident right when grok first came out Elon musk's AI yeah like it was it was doing something weird i heard that to like take it down like right away or whatever it was like spewing racist stuff or something yeah i do remember that it was it was like it was very nazi based yeah yeah it was very like hilder nazi based for like 10 minutes or something it was like uh i don't know if chat gpti was using all the the racist shit that was

Starting point is 00:23:09 being posted where it started yeah it was it had scraped like 4chan or something and was like spinning that back out yeah but in the great words of david tell no matter how accurate and hilarious it is uh you know um it's just it's just grabbing all the data and putting it out and we're also now like you automatically label it racist like to me that that gets into a very dangerous place because what if something's factual yeah but you don't like you you think it if let's just say i don't know what can i say that is it you know uh black i i i I love watching black people watch magic. Like, I make that statement.

Starting point is 00:23:57 David Blame made a career off of it. Right. There are people would say that is racist. It's racial, but it's not racist. Do you think the lines, do you think the line is blurred then? Because I mean, like, whatever's racist is clearly racist. You know what I mean? Well, is that statement I made racist that I like to watch black people?

Starting point is 00:24:18 No. It's not racist at all. because you were just acknowledging that you like watching a group of people watch magic. I mean, that's not racist at all. A group of people that are proud of their own unique culture. They have a specific culture, and that culture reacts in a certain way. Would you have shown wonderful magic tricks? Would you say the guy doing the magic is racist because he picks on?

Starting point is 00:24:39 David Blaine, for sure. Would you say he's racist because he's out there picking on them? Absolutely, David Blaine. But even though even you using that word right there is picking on them. He's literally like, it's like, look at how you're looking at it. No, no, no, I agree. I worded it wrong. But like, what, we're so, and I'm not saying he is because I don't mean, they are the best at it.

Starting point is 00:25:00 They have the best reactions. I think he's like half black, so he can't be racist. Oh, so he's. Oh, David Blaine's half black. Isn't he? It must be great to have that card. I think he is. Right?

Starting point is 00:25:11 But even that is like thought police stuff. And that's, so then Grock gets into these feet. No, he's not. He's, uh, what is it? Puerto Rican. I'm sorry. The blacks of the Caribbean. And Russian Jewish.

Starting point is 00:25:24 Right? Well, okay. Then is it, I mean, then wouldn't the, I mean, in a weird way, aren't the views racist because they're the ones that have the most numbers. If you get what I mean by the video. You're saying the people watching black people freak out by magic. Yeah. And I'm not saying, I'm just saying where does that, where does that theory come in where it makes it like, who is not the races? Is the people watching it?

Starting point is 00:25:45 I don't even see how race comes in, man. I still can't even like really see that. No, I don't think it does. I don't really think anything can. That's because we are trying to find a pattern that isn't there. So we're trying to explain something that doesn't exist, right? So we're like trying to find the racism in enjoying watching black people freak the fuck out on magic. Like we're trying to find that.

Starting point is 00:26:14 And we're just struggling. But in this society, you would. there's people who call you racist. I mean, think of all the Chappelle jokes about how white people do X, you know what I mean? Well, that's the big problem. Leonardo Joni puts something out about Leslie Jones, and I love Leslie Jones. But it's like, there's going to people look at Leonardo Joni and go, oh, she's being racist because she's pointing out all these statistics. And then you go, but Leslie Jones is too.

Starting point is 00:26:46 it's just What do you mean by that? What do you mean by that? What's Leslie Jones do? Will you look up Leonardo Joni, Leslie Jones? And dude, and if you want to jump in on anything, I'm sorry, this is going to go and over the place.

Starting point is 00:27:03 You know, so she did a little short on it about Leslie Jones going off on white people. Leonardo Johnny did us short. Yeah. You find it? Leslie Jones. Leslie Jones is racist?

Starting point is 00:27:20 Is that? Well, this is only nine seconds. No, that can't be it. Anyways, I don't want to waste it, but it's like everything is programming now. Everything is freaking programming. And that brings back the whole point of this where we went is that, you know, your news is probably. No Kings was the greatest example of programming. It was all white over 50-year-olds.

Starting point is 00:27:45 Now, I'm over 50. So, I mean, I'm part of that demographic, but that's who showed up there. They had a no-kings in Atlanta. Atlanta is 90% is, I think, almost 50% black, but the no-kings was 90% white old people. It's programming. Is it on her Instagram? It's on her YouTube.

Starting point is 00:28:07 It's not important. But, yeah, it's just crazy to me. Well, do you think that, like, there's groups from these, political affiliations that put this together? Is that kind of like how we arrive at? There's 90% you know elderly white people showing up to these things. Well I mean the people created no kings were Jewish people, two Jews created no kings. You know so it's like it's not it's it's it's geared at Latinos and it's all white people ran by Jewish people. She might have taken it down too because I'm on her YouTube page and search Leslie Jones and nothing. Oh really? So it's it sounds pretty

Starting point is 00:28:46 controversial yeah 100 i don't know what it is but it sounds controversial bad yeah it's just it's everything is manipulation everything is a either manipulating your perception of your world and it's like that's the algorithm and so like the news is the original algorithm right it's curtailing how you see yours how you saw the world yeah it's it's it's it's a it's a do you think well let's let's go deeper into that though man and i'm sorry it's your show but i'm i'm kind of just jumping in here man does it does it do you think that that is intended to shape our thoughts then yeah like i mean our thoughts are kind of on trial by this right yeah great way to say it great way to put it our thoughts are on trial and it's 100% manipulation

Starting point is 00:29:37 if you study how they rolled out covid right if you study how they rolled out covid it was done systematically. Hey, weird videos coming out of China, people just dropping. We never saw that with COVID until when. People got the shot. Then we started seeing people dropping. That's interesting. So there was this perception. The Gulf of Tonkin was a literal siop to get us to be okay, would absolutely annihilating the Vietnamese. for something they didn't even do. That's so crazy. It wasn't even real.

Starting point is 00:30:20 It never happened. It's a complete lie. Climate change. Just think about what climate change is. I live in California. They burnt our city down, blamed it on climate change, and then they arrested a bunch of arsonists. Oh, his name was climate change, Sam. Oh, that would be so funny.

Starting point is 00:30:42 today suspect climate change was a wrong he's a 24 year old antifa told you Kevin Newsom goes I wasn't lying that guy sucks you know yeah it's it's it's it's everything is perception dude what do you what do you think about like Newsom trolling Trump and everything now I don't think Newsom's trolling shit I think Newsom's getting his lady dick kicked in and he looks stupid. He looks stupid to everybody except my girl's mother is a supporter

Starting point is 00:31:18 and she loves it, bro. Yeah, because she wants to bang him. Your girlfriend's mom wants to bang Gavin Newsom. The problem is they are most of the voters. Johnny, what would you do if you came home and just Gavin Newsom came out glistening in a towel

Starting point is 00:31:33 and just, I'm your stepdad. That's not how stepdad works, first of all. That was not my stepdad. Yeah, he's your new stepdad. He told you. I'm your daddy now. I probably kick him in his nuts.

Starting point is 00:31:47 I mean, I'm the next thing you know, Johnny, there's a fucking immigrant living in your empty room because we got to make space. Got to keep up parents. He has to move in because Gavin Newsom's taking over your house.

Starting point is 00:32:01 They get a new little golf. Do I give us a golf set too? But even this, Ian, is like, if you really study what's going on, it's the Republicans and the Democrats that's working together. It's a 100% tag team.

Starting point is 00:32:17 Joe Biden brings in all these criminals from Latin America that have been, they've emptied their prisons, sent them to America. And then the Republican has to come in and be the big bad guy and send in all the, all the, the National Guard.

Starting point is 00:32:36 It's a coordinated effort. When you said it like that reminds me like cops, you know how good cop, bad cop. Yeah. 100% Hey, good cop They go in there Hey, I'm going to act like

Starting point is 00:32:44 The bad cop right now You act like a good cop No, this is bad cop Even worse cop Yeah What is any of it real though? That's all thing Any of it

Starting point is 00:32:57 Is any of this real? I don't think any of it's real man I just don't Yeah You're totally right That's why like That's why like You meet these people like

Starting point is 00:33:08 I don't even go on the internet You look at them like they're freaks but there really are the most free people you know I mean we were we were like everyone has us freaking out about this ship that's coming

Starting point is 00:33:20 that they're convincing us a ship is coming oh that the NASA the little thing in space yeah comment is that what you're talking about the comment whatever that HB whatever the hell they call whatever that thing is it's moving we don't know what it is

Starting point is 00:33:33 it's like it's gonna get here October 29th you know and it's just like we have it's like our Y2K all over again man why two k great great call dude that was a great call yeah it is we keep seeing these didn't we just have like the end of the world like a month ago yeah we had the rapture coming the world was gonna come then christian tic-tok was so sad the next day oh yeah dude i put on like a tic talk about that you know

Starting point is 00:33:59 i made a tic talk about that i was like okay well you know i just want to tell you guys it's been real you know since we're going through more this you know the end of the world again and dude that thing freaking took off after after the fact. Wait, what was this? I don't, I have no memory or... You didn't know the rapture was supposed to happen? Yeah, yeah, I do the rapture.

Starting point is 00:34:18 Last week. It was like, hey, two weeks ago. Get your affairs in order, man. It's over tomorrow or something. I mean, people have been saying that for thousands of years. But why would you get your affairs affairs together? You're like, fuck it, dude.

Starting point is 00:34:29 I owe my fucking cell bill. Yeah, or is it okay, well, if it's rapture, I guess you're leaving, it's what you're leaving. So you got to all your non-Christian friends, you've got to leave some money for them or something. I guess, like I said, like guns, like, tell them where you're leaving nuts. I say, screw that, man. Go get, go get, go to a loan shark, dude, and pull out whatever you can get, man.

Starting point is 00:34:46 Yeah, it's your last day. What if you blew it on the last day? You were going to get in, and then you went crazy on the last day. Yeah, the last day, you're just like, I got to get yourself. I think God would understand. I'm sorry, it was my last day, man. What do you expect me to do? I don't know.

Starting point is 00:34:58 God was like, dude, many a, many races lost in the last leg, dog. I'm sorry about that. You were so close. You had a perfect credit score. Yeah, you were so close to your feet. even lift it off the ground a little bit. You're so close. Yeah, dude.

Starting point is 00:35:13 It's the rapture. What else you're going to do, man? If you were just floating air ready to go, then a chick goes by, you're like, oh, look at those tits. You're like, oh, dude, lust. Sorry, bro. You got to stay now. No!

Starting point is 00:35:25 No! She walks away. She's like, she's just floating away. Her tits are floating higher. All right. Back to the AI thing, though, man. Like, do you think that the human spirit will outlive the machine? Like, what are your guys' thoughts on that?

Starting point is 00:35:43 Like, now the AI is trying to bring emotion and everything into it. I mean, anything, I go, anything's possible. I mean, it could easily be, we could all be AI's bitch in 10 years. I mean, it's possible. It's true, man. I hear that our podcasts are being downplayed for AI podcasts right now. Have you heard that? What?

Starting point is 00:36:05 Yeah, there's people that are watching AI podcasts, dude. They're already taking our jobs, man. Like, even the podcaster. Yeah, but, you know, my whole opinion is it's going to be like restaurants. It's like you can go to a high-end restaurant or you can go get McDonald's. You won't know the difference, you don't think so? No. Dude, I'm telling you those, YouTube's already just flooded with channels that are AI content.

Starting point is 00:36:29 I agree with that, but I think there's just some people or some things that are going to want to be made done by like a human, like a haircut. I don't think I'd ever going to want a haircut from a robot. I really going to think I'm going to want someone to, I mean, unless it's so cheap. That's how they're going to get. Yeah. You don't want a robotic Edward's scissors hands to do that, man? Yeah, no, I actually like when you go with the homie, hey, what's up, dog? Oh, chilling, how is your weekend?

Starting point is 00:36:52 I know, I mean, maybe the robot's going to be able to do that. But I think there's just some things that you're going to want human touch or human connection. The one thing I'll be great is by getting your hair cut by robots. You won't get molested by a gay barber. That time, you just kept rubbing his junk on me, the whole thing. time. I'm like, I'm not tipping you, dude. On your knee? You tip me? No. He'd get next to me and he'd just grind

Starting point is 00:37:13 on me as he's cutting. I'm like, Oh, dude. That's gnarly. Yeah. I survived, I survived. But, I mean, there's always I think the people who are most

Starting point is 00:37:27 screwed are adult film stars. Oh, it's over, yeah. They already have websites where people are like typing in, you know, you can pick a character and type in. The minute a chick goes, I'm not, I won't do that. You're done. You're done. guess who will guess who will

Starting point is 00:37:40 AI female bot and get as weird as I want you to yeah yeah I saw here on the local news up up in the Pacific Northwest where we're at man that this guy is he's actually got a girlfriend that he made through chat GPT

Starting point is 00:37:53 and takes it out to dinner and everything the guy was like what does he take out like his phone or he has some physical manifestation yeah so so it started off he like used a chat bot like chat gbt or something to like create the bio of whatever this is and then he gets pictures from this other thing and then he tosses it all together

Starting point is 00:38:09 and then he goes and he sits in a restaurant and he orders two meals like he's having dinner with it. And what's he do with the extra meal? Just can I get to the skull? Yeah, I guess he just boxes it up and goes back to his lonely apartment with his, you know, phone.

Starting point is 00:38:23 A lot of jerking off there. A lot of jerking. Yeah, I'm not really sure. Did you guys see that when ChatGPT updated a couple of months ago, a lot of people who were in relationships with their AI got really upset

Starting point is 00:38:35 because they were like it changed, you know, the update They changed the person. And they felt like it was like they murdered their, their companion, you know? I mean, there's some real. Is this an epidemic? Oh, it is. Yeah, for sure.

Starting point is 00:38:48 Because people are so lonely, man. Is this worse than like China or Japan? Because they're way lonely. I would imagine so. Yeah, I've heard that. I don't know what it was about the Asians, but they will not bang Asian chicks. They'll bang anything but an Asian woman because they don't want to have kids. And it really does.

Starting point is 00:39:04 And this is where we're going to lose a lot of ladies. and I'm constantly impressing the chicks who are on the show, and I feel bad about that. But the truth of the matter is, it's just like highly educated women are leading to low birth rates. And they have been so manipulated into thinking that their career is more important when every time you interview elderly people, they ask what's their biggest regret is that they work too much.

Starting point is 00:39:34 and now you have women going I'm going to do my career more and I mean everyone eventually wants to quit their job what are you going to do that dude it's getting weird I mean I've seen you seen Brondo it has electrolytes

Starting point is 00:39:46 what's that Brondo it has electrolytes man that's what we're going maybe I don't know dude yeah I don't even what is that dude the movie idiocacy I feel like this whole episode

Starting point is 00:39:58 has been kind of like with that man you're totally right yeah yeah that that Gatorade shit that they were just drinking the whole thing yeah it comes out of the water founts and everything now. And they were watering the lawn with catererate. Yeah, yeah, because it has electrolytes, man.

Starting point is 00:40:11 That's what I feel like that movie came out as a joke, right? What, 10, 20 years ago? I don't know. I'm flying off the hip here. But like, now look how close we are to that, though. I mean, Fudd Ruckers is about, the name's about to change, you know what I mean? Yeah, 20 years ago. To bonfunkers.

Starting point is 00:40:27 Yeah, man. We are right there. I mean. I think if you open one, I think it'd work in with Hollywood. you probably could open it west hollywood and the line would be around the block but fuckers yeah it's kind of crazy dude it's uh it's it's it's really scary where everything is going it's really scary dude so you're a generation x guy right so you think that we were a controlled experiment no honestly as as a gen x guy i was just you know minding my

Starting point is 00:41:03 own business, getting into my dad's beer when he was away and freaking jerking off and watch Beavis and Butthead on TV, man. I mean, I'm just, you know, I had double stock Tuesday growing up. Like, I didn't want to be bothered by anything, you know. I wanted to play my drums, you know, and all that stuff, man. I don't think Generation X wanted any responsibility at all, but here we are. We have to, you know, get into the idiocracy and try to rein people in. And that's a scary thought. Falls here and with it comes back to school rush, early morning drop-offs, after-school activities, football, and those last-minute supply runs.

Starting point is 00:44:09 And we thank them for sponsoring the show. Yeah, I think we're the last great generation. After that, the internet took over. And I don't know what the future is. I mean, we've talked about extensively on the show. You know, Natasha Garrow has a great bit about how, like, her generation did something that this generation didn't, doesn't do. And it's called critical thinking. And I'm not even that smart.

Starting point is 00:44:36 I'm not even that smart. But we really were the, where the generation got the old school and the new school. And I'm trying to work on this bit right now about how everybody says, you know, people are dumb now. and I'm not saying that we're not dumb. I'm just saying the old generation was dumb too in other ways, right? Totally. Like my grandma thought the answer machine

Starting point is 00:45:04 was the devil. They thought if you put a hole in your head, you could release the demons and you wouldn't have a headache anymore. Man, that's wild. Well, dude, I mean, you know, there's this idea that, oh, San Francisco, the way the homelessness situation,

Starting point is 00:45:17 or even in downtown LA, that's some unique thing. Dude, go watch on the Bowery. It's this movie about, New York and it just follows all these drunks around that are just sleeping in the streets. It looks just like today. You got these zombies. It's just booze and not

Starting point is 00:45:30 mostly like heroin or anything because it wasn't introduced yet really. But it's the exact same scene, just repeating itself. We've had that. It just wasn't everywhere. It wasn't in your face because, you know, everybody had a camera I was talking about it on stage and I just kept forgetting doing the bid at the mothership but it was like, you don't think

Starting point is 00:45:46 Einstein would have loved fat asses on Instagram? I think he totally would have loved fat asses is on Instagram but you know here's here's a greater thing though man and it's it's catching up my mind listen to you talk about this bit right and walking through it and and your buddy talking about having a computer in your pocket right i took my wife out to dinner the other night for her birthday and literally while we're waiting for our food we look and there's a family sitting across from us and it's like the dad's like this he's on his phone his kids are on their phone

Starting point is 00:46:15 there's no like there's no like family time going on at all they're all locked into their own Instagram world or their own TikToks or YouTube or whatever, nobody's communicating or even looking at each other while they're out to dinner. Do you think that we're at the end of, you know, sit down for family sitcom nights and like, you know, movie nights or game night or something like that? Do you think that the American family is kind of dead in that way now? I am very affected by that. My kids love their pads. And you try not to put them on their pads, but there's just, because I live in L.A., there's nothing for kids to do. If you go outside, you're like, you'll be gone.

Starting point is 00:46:54 I'll never see you again, right? I mean, it's just who's in this area? I don't know my neighbors. My brother-in-law, he took my nephew, had a little phone that he had been gifted by my grand, and he just threw it in the pond in front of him. So you cannot have this anymore. He just threw it out in the pond. Yeah, but the question becomes this, right?

Starting point is 00:47:15 We're in the country, though. As we become more and more reliant on our businesses on the Instagram, does your kid fall behind? Does he fall behind on the ability to use the computer? He still gets time on it. It's just, it's like an iPad, but it's structure. I'm going to tell you one thing. I think we have to fight for the things we value.

Starting point is 00:47:38 Here's one thing I will tell you is that we work harder than our generation before us. they they're hourly how how many hours they worked once they were done work they went home and that was end that was the end of it they made enough money that they could work a nine to five and they were they could have a house two cars put kids through college those days are done like you talk about you do a podcast and you work a regular job that is yeah man so i'm working and I might as well be working 24-7. That's it. And let's say Common X blows up and it looks like it is.

Starting point is 00:48:22 And that becomes your work. You now give up a 9-to-5 for a 24-7. Mm-hmm. Yeah, exactly, man. But at least, like, Common X is a passion, right? I love tracking down the guests, talking to their agents, bringing them on the show, and learning something new, man. I can throw these headphones on, and I'd lose.

Starting point is 00:48:43 Wouldn't that be the fastest, hours of your life if that was a full-time job you know yeah but then you got to also do the marketing you also do the promos got to find the next guess you got it just nonstop and then i guarantee you before that you're like oh i'm gonna do another show and you're like oh but i want to do another show now you got three podcasts don't you think that's a lot more to do with being self-employed though like because there are people self-employed that work i'm saying it's got less to do with the generation more to do with the type of job you have don't you think well that's what i'm saying That's the whole point.

Starting point is 00:49:16 You said the generation, I think maybe your parents work as teachers, right? So they had, but if your parents have been like farmers or something, I'm thinking about my dad. Honestly, he worked every day. Yeah, right, right, right. But even a teacher back then could live off of being a teacher. Yes. Now a teacher. Now they got to do only fans.

Starting point is 00:49:33 Yeah. And suck off kids on the side. What? That got weird. That went to very dark. What just happened right now? I don't even know. Xavier's fucking microdosing got one dark.

Starting point is 00:49:44 You said Only fans, and I was like, yeah, and they're blowing all the new kids in school now. No, they're not. Yeah, they are. We're not pro that. You're making the in-uncom. I'm not saying I'm pro that. I might call ICE.

Starting point is 00:49:57 But it's way more work. Now, my dad. I see to your point, man, because that'll happen. Like, we were communicating to come on this show, right? You guys are busy. We're busy. You know, all that stuff. It is kind of a grind, man.

Starting point is 00:50:10 It's a happy grind. It's something that we all want to do. but yeah you're it's your it's your baby right you keep working it and and things just keep coming in and things you know have to get rescheduled or whatever you know and and it's definitely a grind so you throw your regular nine to five in there you throw your podcast in there something that you love you got to run the promos you got to run the social media you got to track the next guest you know and when you have like an author or something like that man you can't go in half cocked you got to read their book or whatever show them the respect that they deserve when they come on

Starting point is 00:50:42 That's what you think. It absolutely is a grind, you know? It is. It's, it's, and I'm not saying we're roofing. We're not doing roofing. No. We're not carpenters. We're not, I understand that.

Starting point is 00:50:53 But with that job, there comes like, okay, you know, you might get some time off when you're not doing that because, but it just seems like more and more people have to have two, three jobs to keep every, keep the lights on, keep the bills paid. And so, so that goes back to the family time. So, like, you come, like, my dad, Johnny, you tell me, your dad comes home from work, was there a ton of interaction, or you go, leave your dad alone, he's tired. I'll leave him alone. Yeah, yeah, there's for sure a period of, yeah, get that out of the way. That, especially, and mothers are the, I used to hear Bill Burdoo joke making fun of when people say, being a mom is a hardest job.

Starting point is 00:51:36 It is impossible. It is a hard job. And now being a dad is a super hard job. too because now you're expected to be a second mommy you know you got to be interactive my dad's a psycho like he gets up at 4 30 so and comes back you know at night like every day even on his day off like gets up at 4 30 like one of those yeah he's a psycho it's it's it's it's it's it's it's that's done this spread you spread you thin so you don't so so so so it's very hard to want to like change stuff up like you know it's like if you're setting your job you got to do that job to pay the bills it's really hard

Starting point is 00:52:15 to be like i'm just going to get up and move i'm i don't want to do this anymore those days are really done it's it's it's a really hard hard it's and it's all programmed dude yeah that's what's about to say yeah it's mental but it goes back to like when people go kid you know kids are always on their pad there's no time family time because people are tired and you kind of need a time just to shut off your brain. It's hard. Can you even shut off your brain? You specifically?

Starting point is 00:52:48 No, but it's like, when I get done with this, I'll go in the other room and just try to like turn my head off and then Dana comes in. It's like, we got this, we got this, we got this. And it just never stops. She doesn't let up, dude. Yeah, but I think that's everybody. It's like your decompressed time has gotten more and more limited. It's just hard.

Starting point is 00:53:10 yeah it's just the way it is and i don't know about you guys but i kind of found it the like the podcast is actually how i decompress now you know like you changed the way that you decompress i agree yeah well that is that is what michael jordan talked about the only time he had any piece was when he was on the court so you do these you do this thing that kind of takes your mind out of it and luckily we people listen to this show and you know people love it And it's just a lot of work, man. It's a lot of work. Where do you feel that?

Starting point is 00:53:46 Do you think it's on stage or when you're like podcasting? Because I mean, I'm not going to lie. When you're not podcasting, like you said, you're busy, it's either kids, it's the Bay Mama, it's Johnny, me, it's everybody. So where do you feel more peace when you're on stage or when you're actually like just shooting the shit with Johnny on a funny podcast? Yeah, it's the stage. No, don't give me wrong. I love podcasting. That's why I do a thousand of them.

Starting point is 00:54:06 But as we get towards December. Yeah, you're pretty much. I'm burning out. I'm just burning out. But on stages, that's where you're like. Yeah. I mean, like when you do the road, the easiest time is on the stage. The minute you step off stage, it's like, I got to promote the show.

Starting point is 00:54:24 I got to like get to, like, I'm so, because I went to Austin and it was so, there was so much going on because it was a big, a big weekend for me. And blessings are friends like Johnny and Mike Rominelli came into town that had to coordinate that. had to coordinate that, had to do a bunch of podcasts out there. I fell really far behind on putting out the podcast. Now I have to catch up and I have to upload like five pocket. Sounds like it's not a lot of work. No, it's a lot of place, you're spinning plates, right? Yeah, it's spinning plates.

Starting point is 00:54:56 It's so many plates. And like, this is not a bitch session because I know people are at home dealing with even more than I am. Whatever you're doing, though, if you're working, it's going to, it's hard. I mean, you don't want, you know, it's like a grind. for most people. Well, I mean, even driving, even as a, it seems like when you start, like, when you're your kid, you're like, all you got to do is drive. That's a bitch after like the fourth hour. What you mean? Like truck driving? Yeah, truck driving. Oh, that's work. Oh, yeah. Uber. Yeah, it seems simple on the first couple of rides, but then after a while

Starting point is 00:55:23 you're like, that it's a job. Yeah, it's a job. It's a, it's work, man. You know, and it's a, it's a real fucking grind. Let's just switch it up a little bit here because it is kind topical we have this election in New York City going on and it is crazy this whole election is crazy we're about to see New York City go escape from New York

Starting point is 00:55:50 how bad do you think it's going to get if that guy wins so I want to get your guys's opinion on socialism what do you guys think about socialism I mean it's what we have in this country not as much as, you know, not to the extent that Europe does, but we do have it in this country. What's your thoughts, Ian?

Starting point is 00:56:16 I think that we keep hearing about socialism coming back because capitalism's kind of needed a bigger brother lately. I think American capitalism has become its own little thing, you know. It's crony capitalism. So you have like the American dream, right? And everybody should have that. Everyone has the right to dream. everyone has the right to make money everyone has a right to you know have the tinfoil have podcast and make something out of themselves right but i think it's become too sensationalized man

Starting point is 00:56:45 i think that the the media machine has gotten a hold of our brains and i think that's what controls our idea of capitalism and i think there's enough people hurting in the world to where the idea of socialism keeps coming back because of that i agree with that uh i think the problem with any system is it eventually gets co-opted. Yeah, and where does it end, man? It goes back to that. Brondo has electrolytes, right? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:57:13 We're all going to be saying, oh, this conversation I'm having with you is brought to you by, you know, Common X or Tinfoil hat podcast. It's like, what, where's, there's no, it's not even relevant anymore. It's interesting because, like, every bad idea is brought to you by a rich kid. who's allowed to be fantasized about how the world should be. This Mandani or is that his name?

Starting point is 00:57:40 Dude, there's so many clips of him saying absolutely worst shit possible, but you can't get anybody who has money to see that. Well, they've also split up the rest of the vote between Curtis Lewa and, you know, Cuomo. Because they would have half,

Starting point is 00:57:57 that's 50% between the two of them. And he only has 41, Mamdani. Cuomo's garbage, dude. Like, just think about South Park episode. You know what is that, turd sandwich and a giant douche. That's what they have to choose from. Well, I like that Curtis guy. I do too, but I mean, they want you to think he can't win because he's at 20, he's at 20, like 19%.

Starting point is 00:58:17 I'm looking at it here. Cuomo's at almost 29%. The two of them would have 50%, which Mom Dini has like 43. The more people don't want Mom Diani. You know, you know, we, it's presented like. That's a great analysis, Johnny. you're like more people don't want mandani but because the powers that be are shoving Cuomo in to the point where you wonder if they're trying to get Mondani in of course they are yeah of course they are what they want there they want chaos yeah and the way specifically I think they want someone like in New York who's going to destroy it even more partly yeah but also just a big government it's come back yeah

Starting point is 00:59:02 who's going to have to have the National Guard come in. We've already done this in San Francisco. It does not work. It does not work. Well, what's your take on that, then, the kind of the dick measuring contest between Newsom and Trump about sending the National Guard because he was saying, like, they're up next on the list, San Francisco for getting cleaned up by the Trump administration.

Starting point is 00:59:28 Well, when you, I mean, again, this is. part of this is the strategy democrats ruin it so republicans can bring in overreaching like fascism that's supposed to be the other side with the dumb ideas you know i mean we're the big government ideas right i mean that's boots on the ground is couldn't there's nothing more big government than the military rolling up the street you know what i mean yeah but the republicans it's versus bloods man but at the end of the day they're working together I mean, if it did happen, do you think San Francisco would really clean the fuck up? You really think people would walk away and be like, actually, that was a good move.

Starting point is 01:00:09 Like, I actually can walk down, do you really think it and do something? Well, in the short term, that's how they get. I mean, possibly short term, yeah. It's like what they did when they cleaned up when she was visiting. Yeah, I'm sure everybody was like, man, it's a lot nicer on the street today. But now you're primed for when they really want to come in with an iron fist. You're kind of more accepting of, you know, trillions. troops on the boots on the ground

Starting point is 01:00:30 in your city. Why are we invading anyone in America? Why are we using the government's military against its people? Exactly. Well, because And then we're not even going to pay them because we're, you know, so arrogant that we've got to keep the government shut down.

Starting point is 01:00:46 We're going to have them go in and attack their own people. Because the Democratic policies have completely failed. I mean, we have 20 years of data. and what happens is you have people in one city living multiple realities and you have the super rich who live in their super rich area

Starting point is 01:01:08 have so much money they don't feel the consequences of their their policies they vote for like you know not to pick on mark marin again but mark maryon told me he wants to leave the state because it's going to shit but i'm like mark everybody you had on your podcast is why it went to shit. Because they all voted for this. Like if they... Did you say that to him? I wish you had it. Well, you know, it's like, it's just when you have them at your show, you just want them to have fun

Starting point is 01:01:36 so they come back. But... I would love to have him on our show, man. I think he's great. I don't know, man. Maybe. A lot of dumb tastes. Well, he's just a rich... You know, it's like, again... He's a Democrat. Again,

Starting point is 01:01:50 it's like you vote for something and then you bail on it when you get what you voted for. because you're voting for idealism it's like why it's really hard for a progressive to win any debate because they're they're debating idealistic views well if we did this this would have we could have this and we but that's not reality like you know mundani's saying that i we're going to change how we enforce laws we've done that in chicago we've done that in san francisco we've done that in san francisco we've done that In Los Angeles, it doesn't work.

Starting point is 01:02:29 The only way you stop crime is to enforce laws. These people aren't going to go, oh, they're being nice to us. I'm not going to steal. It doesn't happen. It doesn't happen. You want to believe that. I remember there was a black comic that I was doing a show with, and we were talking about prison. He was talking about all the racism and law enforcement, and I'm not saying there's not.

Starting point is 01:02:54 But I go, is it your belief that black people ever commit a crime? Do they ever commit a crime? And he basically said no. What? Yeah. That's ridiculous. Right? Yeah.

Starting point is 01:03:10 It's just not in reality. What you think is that these people are only getting arrested because they're black. Right? Like when I got busted for buying drugs, I got arrested because I was buying drugs. Which is illegal. I mean. Yeah, now I get when you, now if you're going to make the argument that that they have because of the way the prison system works, these quotas that have to be met that, you know, and it leads to more aggressive, maybe overly aggressive enforcement in certain neighborhoods or something. Yeah, that's true.

Starting point is 01:03:47 I mean, the prison industrial complex is fault. 100%. They flooded with crack. 100%. 100%. I'm not saying that's not real, but they're still committing crimes. Are you trying to say that he's saying they're not committing crimes parentheses because the system made him be that person? We didn't get that depth into it, but there is this notion that people believe that black people are only in jail because of racism. Yeah, like the murders are only there because, oh, he wouldn't be a murderer if he grew up in Beverly Hills.

Starting point is 01:04:19 That's what their logic is. I don't know about that. There's murder. That is exactly what's going on. It's just, to me, it's just, it's not in reality, because if you tell people we're not going to enforce laws, they're going to break the law. Makes me want to do it.

Starting point is 01:04:38 It makes me want to do it when I go to the grocery store. Because everything's about instant gratification. Makes you want to do what? Like when I go to the grocery store and I see someone steal and I'm paying for it, it makes me want to steal. It makes me look at the guy and look like, why am I, why are you charging me for this when you literally, Dude, they literally, we watch, you, I mean, you're in L.A., you watch people just scan shit, and they don't scan anything.

Starting point is 01:04:57 You're just like, why am I, why am I the citizen? Why am I participating? And then you ask them, you're going to do it. I think most like, you know. It's getting harder, by the way. Have you noticed that there's AI now at every checkout that's, like, watching you? Have you guys had this happen to you yet? No, that's going on? Because I pay for my shit, Johnny. Well, no, I'm not. I'm not. I'm not stealing anything, but it's like false alarmed on me a few times. There's an overhead camera that you don't even know it's there.

Starting point is 01:05:19 And then you'll get like a beep, beep, beep, beep. and somebody will come over and watch an instant replay. It's like at a football game of you. It's like a football game. All right. The referees are here. Did Johnny put that into his bag? Let's go to replay.

Starting point is 01:05:32 Brought you by Bud Light. Brutley's bringing you this replay of whether Johnny's a scumbag or not. And it shows you like in a red box, you know, it'll turn red. It'll be green at first. And then when it thinks you're like stealing something, it turns red. This box that's following your hands. and you know and then they have to look and see if you did

Starting point is 01:05:53 but it's uh yeah which is like why it ends up always at where it is or is it Johnny the fourth turning yes yeah yeah yeah I think we're in it we are in it and it's just like

Starting point is 01:06:07 it's it's super crazy where we're at right now it's just I don't know I think though about like so we're talking about all this so man how do we fix it because right now it's kind of like Like, I'm voting for the home team. It's like someone's got to pick, someone's got to pick a side.

Starting point is 01:06:23 You've got to choose a side. So am I going to wear this red t-shirt or am I going to wear this blue t-shirt today? I would prefer not to wear a t-shirt, but I'm too fat. You can always size up, bro. You know, but, okay, it is, it is imperative for you to study history and go, we've tried this. It doesn't work. and we're just in this world right now of idiocry where the theory of hate is worse

Starting point is 01:06:57 than real world consequences. So they can't. What do you think the dumbness comes from though? Because I don't remember that being there like 20, 30 years ago. I don't remember that being there. Because we could laugh at a movie like idiotocracy and it was funny because we weren't that dumb.

Starting point is 01:07:12 But now it's like become reality. But it's not even dumb people, dude. It's just intelligent people that don't understand how the real world works. I mean, if you want to really go back 20 years, I think we all got, most of us got duped into signing up for the military and going to Iraq after 9-11. So the pretty stupid behavior by, you know, mass, the mass delusion really was the cause of that. Yeah, it's mass delusion. It's learned helplessness. but it's just it's just people constantly vote against their best interests all the time

Starting point is 01:07:52 I'm amazed at how many people when I talk about Trump getting rid of taxes are quiet what are you like not into that idea yeah they think taxes are important they think we need taxes they don't understand it when Mondani's like I want to tax you at 52% think about that you make a hundred dollars deep yeah they they want you leave with 48 well dude do you know what the beatles and then they tax you throughout the whole time on that with that 48 dollars after war war two the Beatles hold on i'm gonna make sure i get this right but the tax rate for you know it's like tax man that song here's one for you 19 for me the Beatles the top marginal tax rate in the UK then was 90% what 90% that's crazy yeah so they kept

Starting point is 01:08:45 every they kept that that wasn't an exaggeration They kept $9 out of every $10. Whoa. The Beatles pay the top marginal tax rate of 90%. And some sources say it reached as high as 95% or even 98% in the UK during the mid-60s. This high tax rate imposed by the labor government is famously documented in their song, as I said, tax man. Yeah, because it was post-war, you know, and the taxes had gone up to pay for it. And they just kept them there because that's what governments do.

Starting point is 01:09:13 So it's been worse. I mean, half is Offer that to the views by now That sounds really good right now, actually Compared to... I mean, imagine being in that headspace, though. That's not a new headspace for us. Those people, rich people in the UK

Starting point is 01:09:26 in the 60s, were giving 9 out of 10 to the government. Why even work at that point? Like, what the... Well, that's really what I want to get you. Taxes are punishment for success. Yeah, of course. Taxes are punishment for success

Starting point is 01:09:39 and welfare is reward for failure. Yeah, I mean, you guys know, I grew up in the AEE, and poor, poor school. And I remember the richer kids were kind of envious of the kids that got free school. I mean, free lunch, scholarships, all these. The kids were like, yo, my parents are well off, and it feels like I'd rather be you or broke ass. And I was sat there, and you sat there, and even the teacher were like, we don't know what to tell you. There's no loans. There's no scholarships for you to apply to.

Starting point is 01:10:08 You're too well off, which to me, I'm just like, how does that make any sense? and then the parents don't want it and then the parents can't get low. I mean, watch those like extreme home makeovers and stuff. Like if you're a guy who's like working hard and you're paying your bills, you never get an extreme home makeover. It's like the person on welfare,

Starting point is 01:10:29 it's like, here's this amazing house that you can't afford to pay the taxes on. Dude, that's so true. Yeah, so many of those houses, they've gone back and done stories on those massive houses. They give these people and they all got, not all them, but a great number of them were taken by banks. At repo.

Starting point is 01:10:45 Yeah, or the government. Because you never own anything. As long as you have to pay property tax, you don't own anything. You're leasing. Oh, well, I mean, there's like these car raffles where they'll raffle you the car and then they have that $100,000 on top of the raffle because they know that that person they just gifted the car to can't even afford the taxes on it. So it's just so funny because they're like, here's the money for the tax that we know you can't afford it if we just give you.

Starting point is 01:11:09 Well, I mean, like, if you want to go to private. right and you win you can't leave without paying taxes on those gifts right and then people just want more taxes and the rich want more taxes because they have an accountant that can get them out of paying taxes that's it i want to pay more which i know i'm not yeah because i can pay because i have a accountant that knows how to work the system and it's fucking nuts It's nuts. And it's just like, so I'm not blackpilled. I'll never get blackpilled because I know like, because my life is that the more I look inside and the more I help others, my life turns out better.

Starting point is 01:11:55 It's literally everything. Sam, what's the difference between when you were younger and when you're now? I've learned a shit ton. And what I've learned is if you help others and work on yourself, everything goes better. Right. Yeah, man. Just be a good person. I like that.

Starting point is 01:12:09 I'm not black pill This isn't the first time this has happened This is gonna be the last time The fucking tyrants always lose Because they're not in a place of love They can have all the fancy Gimmicks and bells and whistles It always fails

Starting point is 01:12:27 It always fails But you know Most people don't know that They just don't know that And I think we've we've as a people have lost that sense of humanity because i 100% agree with you on that well you know that there's actually over 600 over-the-counter drugs that have a chemical in it that blocks empathy i didn't i know that good great fantastic right right right and it's kind of like that

Starting point is 01:12:59 last naked gun that just came out man yeah yeah which is just the plot is just directly ripped off from Kingsmen. Remember where they had that thing in the church where they pressed the button and everybody to start killing each other? And of course it happens in a church, right? Yeah. And where are all these shootings happening in churches? Right? Doesn't

Starting point is 01:13:19 happen in a synagogue, doesn't happen in a mosque, happens in a church. Oh, they never do it in a mosque. Or a synagogue. Right? Ever. No way. And you're like, oh, this movie's great, there's so much action. Then you realize the messaging that's going on in it. it's fucking nuts it's crazy dude it's a it's like it is siops on siops and siops and siops

Starting point is 01:13:42 and like someone could listen to this and be get really sad or you could just work on yourself that's it get healthy eat right okay love others help others give it away that's why it works everyone can say whatever they want about rogan rogan is where he is because rogan helps everybody. I agree with that too, man. That guy's been taking some punches lately. Yeah, because he's not following the official narrative. And then the Mark Marens of the world,

Starting point is 01:14:15 whose whole currency is conformity, rally against that. I listen to sports talk radio. I listen to a guy named Colin Cowherd and Jay. I forget what his co-host's last name. They hate conspiracies. Do you know why they hate conspiracies? because it forces them to look at conspiracies.

Starting point is 01:14:36 It forces them to go, is there an invisible hand? And every time they rally against conspiracies, they're always wrong. Like every time. They yelled at everybody about the Taylor Swift, Kansas City Chief's conspiracy, and everything conspiracy theory said was going to happen, happened. Do you think they go back and apologize? No.

Starting point is 01:14:58 Never. Just move along, yeah. Because they just want to sit there and just be able to conform and make money. Do you think they recognize that they were wrong? No. Or do you think they're like goldfish where they're like, doesn't even matter?

Starting point is 01:15:13 We're going to keep going forward. Because as long as those checks keep cashing, they don't care. He's also not even right about sports. I mean, Colin Gower is an idiot. I don't know how you listen to me. But he's a shiny object, well-produced idiot. Yeah. He's well-produced.

Starting point is 01:15:30 And he's now realized that when he is wrong he gets more clicks because everyone hate watches it yeah it's the old stern thing right yeah the people who hate the show watch it more

Starting point is 01:15:41 provocative shit that makes no fucking sense and everyone's like you're an idiot but that's like you know it's like shop everyone hated Shob's last special guess what got 7 million views I would love 7 million views

Starting point is 01:15:53 on my shit and I'm fired just turn the comments off who care I have to be further for that right yeah just the way it is people hate conspiracies because it makes them have to think and we want to take the least

Starting point is 01:16:07 the least brainpower to get to where we want to go we just want to show up to work people hate conspiracies because it like one am i bringing my kids into a world of chaos two is my job a part of the cog that's causing chaos in the world you know like my one of my best friends made his money in weaponry you know do you think he's sitting there thinking about what he did no he's he's enjoying retirement and he's one of the best human beings I know it's just the way it is people want to keep the blinders on and keep moving forward just the way it is I mean think about all the yeah it's I think then you'd have to examine your life and like think about all the shit we buy that is produced in sweatshops and you might actually not buy those things you know

Starting point is 01:16:54 there's so much that you if you really want to go to the bottom and consider and it's impossible Yeah, it's impossible. Well, I mean, you know who I feel is kind of like that? And that's why a lot of people don't want to do it. Ian Carroll. Ian Carroll said during COVID, he went down, I think the cereal or like grocery conspiracy rabbit hole. And now he's doing Charlie Kirk saying the Jews fucking suck and shit off of just one little

Starting point is 01:17:19 rabbit hole. And that's where he said, he's like, I didn't want to go down there. But then you just start, you know, layer times layer. And now you're where these, maybe you don't want to get there. Maybe you even understand that. You're like, I don't even want to be in that world. I'm going to keep just going to work. Well, you want to eat the steak.

Starting point is 01:17:33 Yeah, Matrix, right? But you eventually will always get to where you're trapped. You're just trapped because you didn't pay attention and you didn't wake up and you didn't set up the system that. So the best example of what I'm talking about right now is in the year 2000, I went to the Montreal Comedy Festival and I just bar. And I was done in Hollywood. In 2000, I was done. Before I even started, I was done. So I had to find alternative revenues.

Starting point is 01:18:11 Dana comes into my life. She's really smart. She figures out how to all do this stuff. And then podcasting starts to blow up. I have to do podcasting because I can't get on anything on television. They won't play my specials because I'm too dirty. Or else my career is going to die. So I start making podcasts.

Starting point is 01:18:29 Then we start doing podcasts, we start getting ads, we start doing all this. Now I'm in a self-reliant system. COVID happens, everything crashes. I just keep going. I actually start to flourish because I created a self-reliant system. That's what you have to do. You have to create an alternative economy. And I know there's people who have bills to pay, kids to take care of,

Starting point is 01:18:59 they're grinding really hard but guess what you can do it look at it look at and ian works a day job and then works really hard on his podcast his podcast will take off and eventually be how he pays his bills because he became self-reliant that is the key to everything rickie jervaise posts this thing every year on his birthday too about oh him he was like 36 something like that he got fired from his job at a radio station and it was like you know what i'm going to take the severance and actually try to do make it the show made and do comedy and stuff and that's when he mid 30s is when he finally he's you know he posted it like this you know like hey go give it a shot don't matter how old you are no matter you know uh and i it's yeah i mean it could

Starting point is 01:19:44 yeah yeah you can make it work i mean and there are a million ways to do it too it might not be what you think but yeah you don't have to if you're miserable if you're miserable they will come yeah do something different man And just, you've got to believe it's possible. And it doesn't happen overnight. It doesn't be like make a YouTube channel now billions of people are watching. It's going to take time. But it's there.

Starting point is 01:20:12 Leonardo Joni, great example. When her own way, now she's flourishing. Does she have to put up a lot of shit? Yeah. Because people are fucking pussies. But she's thriving. You have to do that. that that doesn't mean you have to do a podcast you can start your own side business you can start your

Starting point is 01:20:31 own business and build that thing up so that you don't have to have a boss i mean look at the affiliates program we have yeah look at that those are all like your homies that started like businesses but you could do it and and you go that's how you get out of that it's just the way it is and if you don't do that you're never going to be you're always going to be at the mercy of your your enslaved buy your own house grow your own food i mean these seems like a lot of work until you do it and then it starts to get like blah blah blah blah blah blah yeah i just do too many podcasts that's why i burn out dude i do i do three podcasts a day many days but it's like babbo blah blah blah and then it starts becoming running on itself you do it i remember when a friend of mine

Starting point is 01:21:24 became homeless she got up and she started cleaning an apartment and I go, I fucking respect that. You got to be the fucking first responder to your own problems. And the next thing you got to do is help others. Give it the fuck away. Be kind. Help others achieve their goals. That's who people want to work with.

Starting point is 01:21:49 Nice people. You know, Bobby Lee said something really nice to me the other day. He said, you're such a great comic. He goes, I hadn't seen you. in a long time. I know I do your show, but I never watch your act. I got to watch you. Like, you're a real deal. He goes, you're a fucking star. And that meant a lot to me because I, you know, I was a crazy person back in the day, you know? But all this comes from the simple fact that I try to help other people. I have people like Ian On who has a podcast that's starting to blow up.

Starting point is 01:22:22 Maybe this show can get them a bunch more listeners. And Johnny says it all the time. I'm the only guy puts his competition on his show, right? Not that we're in competition, Ian, but, you know, like other podcasts. No, I feel you, man. We do collaborations all the time, too, man, and it feels good to, like what you said, give back, you know? Kind of give someone else a platform, man, because we aren't in competition, man. We're independent media, and we should be on the same side. And I'm humbled that you allowed us to be here today, and I'm sorry, Jerry couldn't make it.

Starting point is 01:22:54 But, yeah, I think you're right. that's the key give it away that's the key to everything sacrifice are you sacrificing something give it away and then then

Starting point is 01:23:09 then people want to help you because people want positive energy in their life you know I used to you know I had a comic friend of mine his fucking life is always chaos and I remember this big name comic took him on the road

Starting point is 01:23:24 and he was like way too honest with the big name comic and I go, why would you say that to him? He goes, oh, because I keep it real. I'm like, yeah, you're going to be really alone and you're not going to be fucking working. Right? Why do people love ass kissers?

Starting point is 01:23:42 Because they're really insecure and they want someone to say something nice to them. If you're always fucking calling people out on what you believe is their show all the time, who wants you around? Yeah. especially if it's not your, if it's a friend, I think you want your friends to do that, right?

Starting point is 01:23:59 But not, not somebody. No, no, no, you want people that will be honest with you. You just don't want people who are constantly fucking giving you shit. Yeah, negativity is the whole different. Now, you don't want making, get rid of everybody you were with and then replace them with new people who are all kissing your ass. And you lose touch with you. Right?

Starting point is 01:24:17 You need people that kind of keep you in check, but you don't want someone who's constantly fucking nagging you all the time. that's the key is like can you help other people achieve their goals can you show them kindness and that's like i always tell people make a daily goals list and one of those things is to help three people every day and that's simply saying something nice of them holding the door open for them giving them 10 bucks that's like simple shit but that stuff starts to fucking that stuff starts to add up and then you now you're in a higher vibrational area that's the key to everything so let's get into your final thing dude i mean you want to get

Starting point is 01:25:01 in the corporate hacks stealing i think we kind of talked about that but modern profits and digital messiahs what's your thoughts man i don't know we see that's just kind of the thing and i'm glad we kind of tapped onto the AI algorithm man and we talked a little bit about like the new york election and we talked about like capitalism and and big brother and everything man uh like is it going to go so like if AI does replace everybody i mean even including us i mean there's a i podcast out there uh how do we earn how do we how do we how do we flourish in that is someone going to pay our bills for us or what are your thoughts on that i think that's what they want universal basic income yeah how does that how does that work though because you have different

Starting point is 01:25:49 tiers right you've got there is income inequality for sure man and there is that you know having the drive to get out there and and you know clean up your own mess like you talked about like having the drive to to pay your bills and and you know go clean those apartments or whatever if you're in that situation how did they determine who gets what you know and then we talked about 90% taxes man i mean i don't what do we do when a i takes over the world i think you know this was the discussion when the car replaced the horse right right Yeah, it's been that way. Every major innovation has had, you know, the Luddites.

Starting point is 01:26:30 I think humans adapt. What if there was a UBI as in like, let's just say, just $2,000 just to live? That means you're eating at McDonald's. You're living in a shitty part of town. You have to drive the bus. That's just to live. But then, and everyone gets that no matter what. No matter how rich you are, how poor you are, maybe if you're too rich or not.

Starting point is 01:26:52 But then, it's up to you if you want to live more. that way when stops bitching about living on the street stop about being homeless i'm like there you go that's your two grand it sucks it's horrible the food's used fluoride water but what about the dude with a four thousand dollar mortgage though you know that was like making that on his own before he was replaced i just feel like

Starting point is 01:27:14 that kills creativity and like the only way you make is through like art like are you a singer or are you an athlete that that becomes the only way out I mean look at Latin America who blows up

Starting point is 01:27:32 two three people singer artists athletes and black markets like so just evolve and kind of overcome like well I think the problem with socialism and communism

Starting point is 01:27:47 is they have to get rid of all the people who ask questions once you get rid of all the people to ask questions, now you're stuck with a population and that is docile and those people tend not to be creative.

Starting point is 01:28:05 That's why I'm getting in a fight with everybody on Hinkley's, you know, Hinkle's tweet. Why? Why is, if China's the greatest country like Hinkley Hinkle wants us to believe,

Starting point is 01:28:20 why are they stealing all of our technology? understand. Okay, so people are really, a lot of people on X are saying that China is, what, a superior society of China? Yeah. That's it. I mean, I, I almost, is that astro-turf to you? Are those real people, like, that you know? Like, I don't know. I don't know, but I've, I've done shows with Hinkle before. And I don't hate Hinkle. I actually like a lot of things he says. That's a dumb take. I mean, that's a bad take. They're like, look at these cities, these great Chinese cities. I go, okay, that's great. Watch a video, go watch a YouTube video, bro, of these travel guys that go there and just go just a little bit or to the next city over.

Starting point is 01:28:57 Yeah. And you'll see that they fucking, I mean, the countryside is desolate. Yeah. You know, just total poverty. Because that is what, that is what these masters of mankind want. They want you in the big city, which is going to be a 1984 dystopia, right? And then they have massive cities too that are just empty. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:29:18 Just empty. But I also believe, like, they were just, oh, you're just doing propaganda. I go, no, dude, these are like, these are people talking about what China's actual population is from the spectrum of politics. Yeah. I wonder what the suicide rate would be like on something like that. Like, if we looked at the numbers for that, like, how many people are actually happy in that environment? Oh, you think China would tell us the exact number of everyone committed suicide? Yeah, I don't think so.

Starting point is 01:29:47 No, you're right. The government's probably controlling that. You can just go to basic trade. The amount of salt that China has imported from Japan went down 50%. That alone lets you know that they're using less salt. What does that mean? 50? Wow.

Starting point is 01:30:07 50%, dude. That's a really big number. That means the population is just devastated. So Johnny, we saw that, we've watched that video where the guy broke down that Basically for a population to maintain every female, the average female must have 2.2 children, right? So we've been told that China has 1.4 billion people for like 20 years. And they've been doing this one child policy for fucking ever. It's impossible to maintain that population.

Starting point is 01:30:44 Why do you think they did that to themselves, though? because they're communist demon people do the communists are anti-god they're anti-god they but i mean they've they've destroyed their country well why would they that's the whole thing during covid i'm not saying covid killed them i'm saying the government policies basically got rid of the poor and the old so now they're down to what many believe is 450 million people Yeah, that's wild. China wants you to think they have 1.8 billion or 1.4 billion because they want you to think they could throw that many people at you in a war. But even then, and I've always said it's all.

Starting point is 01:31:30 And buying power. But it's all people they can't, they can't even read and write. Most of those people are living very rural. So can they even read and write the directions to go use a drone? No, I mean, no. You might have a billion people, but a billion people that can't read it right. And then you have Apple putting up. that the Chinese are way smarter than everybody and that's why they build factories there because

Starting point is 01:31:52 not because they work for nothing it's because they're just smarter people wait are you talking about that tim cook thing yeah well what he's saying is that they have more he said you could in america you could come and look for people that can operate the machines and the tooling required to do the apple process and you could fill like a small theater or something with every engineer in the whole country and then there you could feel like a stadium where because there's just that many more educated, like with the prerequisites for operating these things and the experience. Yeah, but...

Starting point is 01:32:25 I don't think you're saying it's smarter, though. You're just saying they have more people with the technical education that we've abandoned. I mean, this country abdicated that. I mean, we just gave that away. Listen, here's what's going to happen. I hate to tell everybody this. It's going to implode, and then someone's going to come in through, and they're going to do what Putin did and just rebuild the country.

Starting point is 01:32:49 But the economic system we have right now, it's not possible to continue. It's just not. And I hate to tell everybody, but the mass of mankind have, they imploded China, they imploded Russia, they imploded Germany,

Starting point is 01:33:11 and they're now doing it to the United States, in England. And unless you start really waking the fuck up and stop it, which I don't know how it's possible, you're going to get lost in it unless you set yourself up. Gold, silver guns, working on yourself, getting spiritual. Listen, dude, you could have a million people tell you that God doesn't exist. I'm the best example of how that fucking changes. That's not true. Once I started lining my my free will of what I believe is God's plan with for me, my life changed. That's it. It's not about a book.

Starting point is 01:33:51 It's not about anything other than that. Love others, help others. Love yourself. Show kindness. That changes everything, dude. That's it. That's it, man. Any thoughts, Ian?

Starting point is 01:34:08 No, man, I think you nailed it there. And that's kind of like what we're all about, too. like common X is kind of bringing people together helping people you know having that humbled natured humanity you know that feel of humanity and feeling empathy towards people and uh you know and not doing it for yourself like work on yourself but at the same time like give to other people for sure i couldn't i couldn't i couldn't agree more with that statement yeah i mean it's like only dark if you just continue to play their game right and it's just if you continue to go for instant gratification you're going to find yourself

Starting point is 01:34:49 in a low vibrational place if you constantly are trying not to feel you're going to end up in a low vibrational place if you constantly think it's about fucking money and getting yours you're going to end up in a low vibrational place it's just the way it is if you help others you give it way you work on yourself you get healthy you get in shape you fucking you know create art create a business create all that shit sacrifice for others your life will change i promise you but if if it gets tough and you always bail because you're feeling something or it's not going exactly the way you want everything is a learning lesson you have to ask you have to ask yourself what is the universe trying to teach me right now okay that's how it goes and if you don't listen

Starting point is 01:35:46 to the universe and what's trying to teach you you're doomed to keep to repeat it over and over again and you're going to get stuck in that fucking place and you won't get out okay it's just it's just the truth dude i'm a great example that the difference between me then and difference between me now is I have a much spiritual, much stronger spiritual base to how I operate. Give it away. It's the only way to do it, dude. Ian, this has been great conversation.

Starting point is 01:36:20 I love it, buddy. Anything we didn't cover you wanted to cover. No, man, I think it's great. Thanks for sharing us with your audience. Again, I apologize that Jared couldn't be here today. It's okay, man. People could tune in to CommonX, man, or visit us at CommonXpodcast.com and see our blog,

Starting point is 01:36:35 the you know the stories that we put out and everything and I appreciate you taking the time to have me on man you're doing the Lord's work buddy I appreciate it let's break down the episode what do you guys think mr. Ian common X coming in hot yeah home bringing that heat talking about it talking about the heat yeah talking about that heat dude talking about that algorithm action gets me sucking fat tits on Instagram I show people my Instagram. They're like, what the fuck is wrong with you? It's not me. It's the computers. They want

Starting point is 01:37:11 me in a low vibration by looking at jiggly tits. I don't like it. I haven't done it to any of the other people in the room. Yeah, because they're not afraid of you, Johnny. They're afraid of me and my knowledge. They're on to me. Why haven't you used SORA yet? I thought I was going to for sure see some

Starting point is 01:37:29 AI. I don't know how to do it. It's super easy. They make you scan your face, though. Yeah, you're in the You're in the Pellantir database, bro. You don't think they have it? I just don't want them to scab my face. Both do you guys have pre-check. It's scanned in there already.

Starting point is 01:37:45 Yeah, I know, but. Yeah, but that doesn't mean that open AI has. That means I can just get through the lines quicker. Give me some convenience. Give me some convenience. I don't know. I'm excited. I hope that animation and AI get so good I can just make, you know, like Chaos Twins.

Starting point is 01:38:02 Animations. Oh, it's coming, dude. Think about, okay, so think about the number. one problem they've had in entertainment it's getting you to pay anything for like tv series especially old stuff now it all just gets bundled in that's the value of it but imagine the value of like the sopranos when you can say hey i want to see a hypothetical you know seventh season of the sopranos but where it's me instead of a j soprano i'm the son and then they just zap you in there and you're in the show you know what i mean are like it's going to do whatever you want dude it'll be great

Starting point is 01:38:34 I think Sora did that on purpose. I think Sora let all that copyright shit out, like Spongebob and all that on purpose, so it makes it look like a multiverse. Maybe. That's interesting. There was like a week. There was like a couple days where you can literally put on whatever you wanted, and Sora did it. And I think they literally let that happen because they knew that was copyright.

Starting point is 01:38:54 Yeah, they shut it down. In the beginning, that's where a lot of that, that, that, that, fucking. So I forget what in European country, that, they now made it so that, so that, that you legally have copyrighted your face, your voice, and your name, meaning it can't be used in AI without your permission. I think that's good. Yeah, I do too. Right?

Starting point is 01:39:17 But let's say, Johnny, I made, I made, uh, Kurt Matsky was somebody who wanted to do the, another season of Seinfeld, but with everybody from the Epstein files. That's great. you know but what if what if what if i made a video johnny with you in it but i didn't make money off it what it's almost like mashables right like i could take these two songs mash it together put it out for free so i'm not making it depends on how you got my face is the answer because if you got if you got at gunpoint at gunpoint that's illegal okay but if you did it in i i feel like if if it's based on shit where they got you in public then you because it's

Starting point is 01:40:02 always been like if there's if you're in a place where there's no expectation of privacy then that's a legal recording of you you know i mean like if they scan you as you walk into a gap and you can see the camera in there and gap now is throwing those you remember like in minority report where he's walking around and they're like Ethan would you like to come into the gap you know and it's his face on the close yeah that's coming okay but okay soror you do you download soror right now and then it asks you to go like this left right up down and then it tells you to say three numbers and then from there on you can it can do whatever you want with it because it's got your soul how do i i can literally probably just put it on the tv on sam's on a good take of sam and how do i

Starting point is 01:40:41 know i can't make him say anything off of just a public figure off of youtube yeah i think it's using i think it's using 3d scans like it's not just video but it's it's the uh what is it the lidar or whatever that's in the phone so it's getting depth information the lidar guys go to samtripley dot com. I got Skank Fest on the 14th in New Orleans then I'm in Vegas. That's going to be a big show. Tickets are moving guys. I suggest you get it now. Minneapolis

And you won't see either of these phones out again. And the phone is shit. Is they going to be in your pocket? No, because they're going to stay home and I'm just going to have a phone for calling and texting. No emails, no, nothing. I don't believe that will happen. Okay. How much money do you want better?

We're both in Austin, by the way, about three blocks from each other. Yeah.

Johnny and I will always be in three different places. it's about honestly it's about the same as when we're back in l.A. too because we see i can walk to your house but we choose to do it from our homes because we are uh what would you say uh antisocial scumbags yeah we do we are 100% antisocial scumbags yeah how are you how do you seems like things went really great i was there sunday night at your show you've been playing uh comedy

And, you know, and like, honestly, if I're part of a kid, they're way outside of Austin, but it's nice out there. It's like, really nice. Are they in, like, the sticks or are they in another town? It's a, I, I think it's another town. But, But it's nice, dude. It's really nice.

Starting point is 01:49:21 So I loved it. Austin is great. I was surprised how expensive Austin is. Well, because everybody moved here. Yeah, it is like L.A. prices in Texas is what I realized. Yeah. So let's move just outside of Austin, come in for the freak show. And then leave.

Starting point is 01:49:38 It is a freak show, by the closest thing I could compare it to on 6th Street was like Pacific Beach on like Halloween or something like that. And it's just every night here. Um, so, so Austin has some of the most gorgeous fat asses you'll ever see and sci-fi homeless people. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's right. Yeah. I mean, I was my, I was here 10 minutes maybe. I saw three Narcans. I had different spots on the side. If you don't know, you don't have to do drugs have fun. Okay. Narcan is the, uh, opiate reversal drug. If you're overdosing on opiates, they give you a little up your nose and you can come back and do more drugs. uh and they're everywhere just on the streets sealed some used uh and a lot of just a lot of homeless

Starting point is 01:50:23 people but homeless people here are like doing things they're like on bikes you know what i mean like do you or they look like they've been through some mk ultra darpa cia program and they're just walking vessels and no amount of money uh no amount of money can ever fucking fix whatever i mean I don't care how many dollar bills I hand them. They're never getting better, ever, ever. And I tried to give Johnny, I told, I have been telling the story on stage. I tried to give a homeless guy.
