They'll go there every fucking week just to get out of the house It really isn't an amazing thing, you know But they have them like at 9 a.m. 11 It's not what what happens with a lot of people they get involved with almost anything like there's a lot of things that people do They're just trying to get out of the house whether it's going bowling and I remember I went to a Renaissance Fair once and there was, you know, everyone in the Renaissance Fair
Starting point is 00:01:31 pretty much everyone talks like they're from another time They all, a mill lady, you know, dust thou won't, you know, they speak that way but this one lady wouldn't do it she was breaking character like she was just there to hang out. And she was complaining about her husband. Her husband won't take his medicine.
Starting point is 00:01:49 I went to the pharmacy. I got him all this medicine. And this other chick was pissed off that she wouldn't go along with it. She goes, sorry, I don't understand what does Thal mean about medication and prescriptions. What are thy speaking about? Like she was speaking, you know, she was like trying to,
Starting point is 00:02:07 and the other bitch was like mad at her. Like, come on, cut the shit, I'm talking about my, I'm trying to complain here. She was just trying to complain. She just, she wasn't into being in a Renaissance fair. She just wanted to get the fuck out of the house and bitch and wine. And so she put on some crazy European outfit
Starting point is 00:02:21 and went out to this Renaissance fair and was just trying to treat it like it was just a normal coffee shop Just hang out and and wind about things my dad doesn't florida He retired he moved down there and was bored. He does this like community patrol thing in a police car Like the sheriff's office hasn't he doesn't like four hours a week. They give him a real uniform He goes around and He had to learn the codes for things
Starting point is 00:02:43 He's a shoot of black. No, no What's his name Zimmerman? That's where he started out was around and he had to learn the codes for things. He said, I should have blacked it. No, that's not what the fuck. What's his name? Zimmerman. That's where he started out. Oh, God. We had this conversation on your podcast about, I always believe that if you want to do something,
Starting point is 00:02:55 you just keep showing up. And I thought about it after when I lived in Seattle. Seattle was my real open mic era. So on Mondays and Tuesdays, let's say 20 people there. That's what the list was. 20 people, everybody had six minutes, seven minutes. The last two guys probably had 10 minutes. I said, those 20 people, seven of them were just there to fill a void. But do you go find them? No.. That's what works for them.
Starting point is 00:03:26 You know, they have a local job. They just wanted to come. They has a hobby, you know. But that happens and everything. Yeah, I went to, today I said, fuck it, I was sitting there, I had nothing going on. I said, you know what,
Starting point is 00:03:39 I'm gonna try these knee pads because when I tried the knee pad first, I have the surgery that didn't fit. So I put this knee pad on, and I go, it fits. I my g-pants on, just go to the jiu-jitsu, just do hip escapes. That's it. Just make the legs go that way, make them go this way. Once I'm get tired, I'll get the fuck out of it. Doggo is drenched. And it's a big difference between elliptical sweat and jiu-jitsu sweat. Jiu-jitsu sweat, you know when you got on you, when it's on your neck and shit, and it's coming out of your head poison shit. It's tremendous. You're doing no key, right? No, I do
Starting point is 00:04:09 When you do a key and you know you're you're working out when you take that game You just fucking ring it out. Oh Jesus When you get that big heavy thick canvas key and it just soaked oh my god today I went to pick it up just now see if I could throw it in the hamper yet Still wet all the neck was still wet. I was like it's six fucking hours later But it's funny. I went down there today and Tuesdays and Thursdays is a very small class compared to their night classes, but there's one guy That walk into class dress with his gear ready No warm up does not never never been there at 1230.
Starting point is 00:04:49 Go sits down his feet are always dirty. Sits down like kung fu. Doesn't do hip doesn't do any to warm up. Sits there watches the technique. Does it five times on each side gets up by I was in the walk. Huh, that's all he just wants to do a couple of drills. That's it. does it five times on each side gets up, bibles and walks on. Huh. And that's all he does. He just wants to do a couple of drills.
Starting point is 00:05:08 That's it. And he works as a security guard. Where are you training that? We're putting it down to the bush. Right on the bush. Right on the corner. It's called V-Mac there, right around the corner. I'll bounce.
Starting point is 00:05:16 Like I'll go to V-Mac, but V-Mac doesn't have all the classes. And I can't do Wednesday nights. I can't do Monday nights. I'm doing this. So Monday days, I'll go to hegans. I'll I'm doing this, so Monday days I go to hegans. I shoot down the Beverly Hills and I go to hegans. I went there for the whole month of August and a little bit of July, so now when this gets better,
Starting point is 00:05:32 I go to hegans at 11, 11 to 12, 15, real quick. And where's he going to? Beverly Hills behind the tuxedo shop. He can use to have a place in like Redondo, right? No, no, no, no, that was the other brother. That was Hodger. Who's got the place by the ice house that we open? John.
Starting point is 00:05:49 John. Yeah, I think. Carlos is in Dallas and John Jack is in Tarzan. Tarzan. And John Jack is apparently opening up a place in Austin too with Todd White. Yes. Somebody's opening up.
Starting point is 00:06:04 Yeah, cause Todd White was, he's one of John Jox Blackbelts. He's the artist. He used to work for Nickelodeon. Now he does this amazing cocktail style, like 1930s and 50s, almost cartoonish, really cool stuff. And he's super popular. Like, you can't turn out art enough. Like, everybody wants to buy Todd White's stuff. Right, right, right. I went to a friend's house and she had a Todd White And he's super popular like you can't turn out art enough like everybody wants to buy Todd white Right right right here. I went to a friend's house and she had a Todd white thing on the wall like years ago It's like this is crazy. It's my friend Todd's like this is nuts. She's making bang right now I just kill him like his average pick because somebody was telling me the whole thing. It's ridiculous
Starting point is 00:06:40 Ball and out of control artists. It's amazing Well, that's that that art thing is a weird world. Like once you become like a guy that everybody wants to have a piece, I want a joe, original joe dee is. And you know, it becomes like a thing that these art people, I was talking to a friend who explained it to me. And he was saying that they manufacture it. What they'll do is they'll, they'll get it artist.
Starting point is 00:07:02 And then they, they, they take a bunch of people that they already have connections with like really big people that buy $50,000 paintings like nutty for them. And they buy them as investments? Or because they like art. They buy them as investments, they buy them because it's a hobby, it's a thing for them. It's like you know those crazy wine people. Those people that are like that with art, they're crazy art people. They're just by art.
Starting point is 00:07:24 And the gallery will contact them and say listen, there's a guy who's coming up, he is phenomenal. And just, I want to gift you a piece because you're such a loyal customer and I'm going to gift you a $25,000 painting. Because for a guy who's buying millions of dollars worth of art, because a lot of these guys actually do buy millions of dollars worth of art, because a lot of these guys actually do buy millions of dollars worth of art from a particular gallery. Gift in a guy at $25,000 piece is just an investment. But it's not really a $25,000 piece.
Starting point is 00:07:52 It's a $25,000 piece because they say it's $25,000 piece. So you gift four or five guys these big, high-roader guys, these pieces. Now they're in the art community. Well, who's that? That's an original Jodeas. Yeah, the gallery gave it to me. It's a $25,000 piece. The guy's incredible. Wow. Yeah, he's having an... there's going to be a gallery show in October. So then they put on the gallery show in October. The prices have already been established. And then you see 35,000. Nobody flinches. And they just start buying them like hotcakes.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Why? Because these big shots already have the $25,000, nobody flinches, and they just start buying them like hotcakes. Why? Because these big shots already have the 25,000-dollar pieces. So they create this bizarre bubble, this bizarre market, and they do it by giving these really big, high rollers expensive pieces. It's really fascinating. It really is. Yeah, smart.
Starting point is 00:08:41 I mean, they just, look, you know what it is? It's like, it's a hustle. They figure out how to get in with these people. They figure out how to just how to make it, like, I was hearing about, there's certain handbags that really rich broads are really into these certain bags. I don't remember the name of it, but you have to have a relationship with the people
Starting point is 00:09:00 that sell the bags in order to even buy a bag. Like, your kin just going off the street. You have order to even buy a bag. Like, you can't just go in off the street. You have to have already been a client. So like, you have to buy a bag to get a bag. So it becomes exclusive. So because it's exclusive, they're selling these bags for like $50,000. I'm like, how the fuck is someone paying $50,000 for a purse? It's a bag. It's not a Ferrari. You can't drive it. It's not there's nothing. There's no crazy engineering involved in this. It's not like a watch that some guy made by hand and he's got fucking giant goggles on. It takes six years to make a what no. No,
Starting point is 00:09:35 no. It's a fucking purse. But because they've engineered this exclusivity, they've arranged it. And they just they worked that market market that market of people with incredible wealth because especially where we are we don't even realize it you know you grew up in a in a place where it was like blue collar and you know nobody was multi multi millionaire, but there's places like Brentwood or you know Bel Air where you might have Brentwood or you know Bel Air where you might have 100 people in a mile radius that have a hundred million dollars But that's not uncommon. I mean there's insane money in certain areas when you're looking at these homes There's a twenty five million dollar home. That's a thirty million dollar estate. This house is going for fifty million
Starting point is 00:10:22 I mean there's a lot of that in this area. And all they have to do is tap into those folks because they have insane disposable income. And what's expensive to your eye is not expensive to them. It's nothing. $25,000 for a painting ain't shit for them. So they figure out a way to weasel into that world. And then it becomes about that world. then it becomes about that world then it becomes about that Exclusivity, you know, this is an original Joe Diaz look at that on the wall very nice. Where'd you get it? Well, you know the gallery, you know, they've got a show coming up I love this use of color and they just let trying to find ways to spend their fucking money
Starting point is 00:10:59 I mean they might have a house in Costa Rica. They got a fucking house in Canada You know what I mean? Like there's a lot of those people in LA that are just stupid rich. I heard that there's like a social network now that you have to pay like 10 grand to get into. Is that, have you heard about that? No. What's it called?
Starting point is 00:11:17 I'm trying to find it right now. Here we go. Social network that costs 9,000 a join. Oh, fucker. I knew it. There's your heart finding. Facebook is free, stupid. Okay. What are youer. Idiots. They see how hard it's finding. Facebook is free, stupid. OK.
Starting point is 00:11:26 What are you going to get out of this social network? Are they going to blow you? It's called, Netropolitan. Netropolitan. It's 6,000 a join. And then an additional 3,000 that were news annually to continue access. Oh my god.
Starting point is 00:11:40 You have to be a join? You have to be 21. Let's see if it says. They're not sharing how many members. of course enough. There's two people in it. Oh my god. You have to be a real asshole I can't imagine what the pen breaks and a $50,000 bag. What if a nail polish thing spills? What if you dog pisses on? Oh my god, dogs amazing. I went to the park. I Go to the park every fucking day, but yeah, they went to the park. I go to the park every fucking day, but the other day I went to the park and I heard women talking And they were talking about daycare prices In the area that they went shopping and when he goes
Starting point is 00:12:14 But what about that one van? I said she goes, oh my god. I looked at the web page and it was just I thought I was dizzy I was on the swing and they want you know my baby was on the swing and I was running so I could hear I was on the swing and they were on, you know, my baby was on the swing and I was running straight out of here. I'm talking on the swing and they were talking about how you have to get on a list to get your kid into this fucking daycare. Like, we have to know somebody and then they have to get you on the list and it's exclusive and van eyes. You know know going like how did they make it exclusive like what do the kids do? That's different is there a security guard do they fucking fish? You know give them a chef, right? I mean are they gluten-free meals? I mean, you know I think I want my kid to get a little fucking dirty I mean, but they were totally I heard them talking about like percentages like let's say every other day care around this 200 a week
Starting point is 00:13:06 This place won't like 1200 a week 1200 like something just fucking ridiculous Something just ridiculous and van eyes, you know, and it's the same thing how they just make it exclusive It's exclusive. You have to get on a fucking list a list for what so my kid could play with fucking blocks Hmm, maybe it's just they just have a great setup. I mean, maybe it's just like a setup could have been 200 a week. Sounds insane. Well, that's something like what would comparison to what a regular daycare is. This is how much more what? Wow. And they had like just you have to get on it six months. And if your child's not a poly train, and
Starting point is 00:13:44 I went home and I'm thinking about I asked my wife and she goes oh yeah they got them all over like that that you the one by the house by Marie ETC yeah that's a Christian church that have to wait on this a Jewish people what orange camera to put their kids in that they can't because the daycare is just that good what about pet hotels Were they give them like TVs and beds? Have you heard about that? Yeah. They put it like in a plan all day. Animal plan all day. You know, it's, it's, you know, listen man, it's whatever the fuck you pay for, whatever you believe, man.
Starting point is 00:14:20 You know, it's just fucking amazing. It's 25,000 for a picture or whatever the fucking artist and you sit there and I've been to those things. My buddy in New York is like a great frame. His shop is in the lower side and whenever I go back, he gives me a hug and he kisses me on both cheeks. I mean, it's not his fault. But there's a lot of really good shows. And I think, I don't think audio is the future of fault. I'm not saying that's what it does for a living. But there's a lot of really good shows. And I think, I don't think audio is the future of entertainment. I think it has a future. It has a future.
Starting point is 00:14:50 But it's not the future, because there's always gonna be people that wanna see things. Oh, I'm not taking videos going away. Obviously, video is great. But when the name of the game is advertisers and advertising money, that's like the end goal for all of this. If you're losing people for eight hours a day,
Starting point is 00:15:08 like I think what's great about these podcasts is the people like middle class and they're really listening to it. There are higher level people doing it, but if you can't listen to it on the day, you're probably a little bit out of the loop podcast wise. You would think. So if you can't watch video during the day, you don't have all
Starting point is 00:15:26 those ads. I just think there's going to be a lot more of that scripted podcasts, reality part. I think there's going to be everything. Because you have so much more access. Yeah, a lot of possibilities. How many people do you think are really listening throughout the day? That's all I did when I came here. That's how I found Joey through your podcast. I was listening all day in my job, but isn't that unusual to have a job that allows you to do that. How how usual is that? You go on a plane there's people watching a movie type being with your phones on, okay? And today's market people having assignment or have they have the type of report they have you on They're not watching you on YouTube, but they're listening to you. They listen to build bird listened to MPR
Starting point is 00:16:05 They're listening to you on YouTube, but they're listening to you. They're listening to Bill Burr, listening to NPR They're listening to the comedy central podcast. They're listening. They have 40 fucking hours to kill on that fucking computer gaining hemorrhoids by the day You know what I'm saying? They listen to two podcasts. They get up. They go for a walk They smoke a cigarette to drink a cup of coffee. They come back. They do a little work to listen to another podcast You know if you're a night security guy, you work fucking, you know, all those hours at night, you're lonely in a car sitting there. That's when you listen. So if we're reaching an hour and a half a piece, two hours, you got a lot of time at night to listen to podcasts.
Starting point is 00:16:42 We're the Kings of the Third Crew, Jaro. Yeah, right. We are the Kings of the Third Crew people that work midnight to eight, whether they're in Australia, China, New Jersey, California, that's who listens to this while they're stocking fucking trucks, you know, fucking product of the supermarket. We're going to supermarket it to in the morning. And the guys are stocking. They got earphones on with the black gloves and they put nice cream in the cases They listen to everything
Starting point is 00:17:08 The genuance podcast listen to opium Jimmy, you know, whatever fuck you and Jimmy and whatever They listen to the dude that used to be on it. It's amazing how much of a catalog they have to choose from the first guy Who ever recognized me was a sign spinner by my my my my job? I was walking across the street. He went to the ice house a couple times, and then he was going to try to be a comic. But it's funny, yeah. Ice spinner would be the perfect guy.
Starting point is 00:17:32 That's hilarious. This is God the Place is where you look at your map at the end of the month, and you see where the people are listening to this across the world. Wow. And you go, what the fuck? You know like when R.E. City went to China He said to many people showed up and they'll listen to the podcast. They're working for somebody over the apple
Starting point is 00:17:55 They work for a problem. Yeah over there. Well Apple is Foxconn. That's over in China, right? Yeah, that's where they make the phones, but right? Yeah, that's where they make the phones. But I've no more since we were 15 and in summer school. So I play his game. I go over there when I was broken 84 I fucking made deliveries from frames and pictures and shit and you know every night they go to these things I've been with them where they go and they sit and they look in front of a picture and they make believe they drink wine these people don't give you sawdust they give you know, sushi. It's a social thing. It's a social thing. It's a it's a big social thing to be an art collector because it shows that you have a certain amount of taste, you know, like if you're into obscure art,
Starting point is 00:18:35 that's a Jackson Pollock. Amazing. Amazing. I love what he's doing here. His concept is incredible. I didn't know there were any current artists getting that much money. Oh, yeah. I thought it was older people. No, you just have to be in that circuit. You just have to be in that. I was over Bob Gersh's house.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Bob Gersh is the fucking guy owns Gersh. He's the guy that I had to get on a phone with to try to get me to apologize with him and see him and the wig. And I'm out over his house in Asperin. It's a long fucking time ago. And he's got this thing on his wall. And it's like a bunch of pieces of paper.
Starting point is 00:19:13 Like it looks like tissue paper glued onto other paper and like a lot of paint. And I look at it, I go, I go, is this something his kid made? And someone goes, no, that's a blah, blah, blah. And I go, what's that? And he goes, that's worth $30,000. I go, what the fuck are you saying?
Starting point is 00:19:32 I mean, it wasn't even big. It was like as big as that longest yard frame post you have up there. That thing, you know, it wasn't like an enormous piece that took fucking 50 years to make, you know? No, it's like a normal-sized painting. It was like a bunch of fucking tissue glued to a thing and some scribble.
Starting point is 00:19:52 It was abstract modern art, you know? That's what they call it, abstract art. Dog shit, nonsense. Unless it was your kid. You know, if your kid made it, it would be cute. It made sense to me. I thought it was his kid. It's like, what the fuck is this? This is $30,000?
Starting point is 00:20:07 That's like when they throw that fucking like the like the counterfeit and for living dying L.A. he would throw the Yard if he would light them on fire. Yeah, shit. To live and die L.A. That motherfucking movie was on you the morning at 6 and the more I put on KTLI news and I go, let me see what else is on.

It's fucking all over for you You know, it's the hard world is filled with a lot of pretentiousness But just the just art itself calling yourself an artist being an artist wearing a scar when they call themselves an artist Yeah, that's where my Thing and then they justify by going, you know, you're an artist I'm sitting there are artists But there are artists. What?
Starting point is 00:21:05 There are artists, but these really pretentious artists, they fuck up the whole concept of being an artist. You know, like, look, Quentin Tarantito is a fucking artist. Okay, that's a guy who creates badass motherfucking movies. He's an art to him. You know what I mean? Like, you know, filling the blank. Richard Pryor was an artist, you know, he was a real artist. He created art on that stage. But some fuckheads, they say, you know, I'm an artist and you just go, and you just want
Starting point is 00:21:40 to throw up on him. No! It ruins the word. It ruins the term. You know, we artist are. Yeah. We're very finicky. What the fuck are you talking about? I'm an artist. I just, I can't be tied down. I'm a, I'm a free spirit.
Starting point is 00:21:56 You don't consider yourself an artist, Joey? Oh yeah, every morning when I wake up, I'm gonna go see artists and so help. Well, you are an artist, and go talk to a community. And go talk to a community. And go talk to a community. And go talk to a community. And go talk to a community. And go talk to a community. I'm gonna go see artists and so how well you are an artist, but you're a comic and the comic supersedes Everything else being a comic is you know It's a different I mean it is without a doubt an art form
Starting point is 00:22:13 But it's being a comic is the most important aspect of the art form and that eliminates any possible Pretension there's no you can't be pretentious be a a fucking comic. You're a fucking joke slinger. You know, that's what we do. You know, just listen, I could never, I got invited to this wedding. I think I told you I got invited to this wedding. Usually I won't fucking go to a wedding, but it was in town. And I don't call it be a nice date night for the wife. And we get to the wedding and the people like, oh my god. We're so happy you made it. We put you in the celebrity table And I'm like I'm not what and I go I'm not sitting in the celebrity table and I walked all the way to the back

Like, what do you get? Why is it bad that they like you for a role in a movie? Like, what is it that you you want to like redefine yourself? None. What's nothing about redefining myself? It's just about, you know,
Starting point is 00:24:43 we're talking about my uncle taking me to this game. I tried to rob him 25 years ago at gunpoint and whatever. We don't talk about that. Like, Ari wanted me to tell the story of the storytellers. And they said, Ari, if you don't know my uncle, he don't talk about, like, he very like, I apologize to him on the podcast. And he wouldn't even, he don't go that bro. He's never told me, love me. I don't want to talk. I love you, T.O. All right, I'll see you in a minute. My uncle is not fuck around, right?
Starting point is 00:25:10 So you know about that place? Yeah, yeah, but how many people actually jumped enough that they made nets? It wasn't just one guy. When you put the nets, I'm building the cell phone, makes you do this. They live there. They live there, they work there.
Starting point is 00:25:24 They have dorms, they stay in the dorms. They live there, they work there, they have dorms, they stay in the dorms, they work all day, it's scary. I mean, it's a step above being a slave. And people tell you it's a lot better than what they used to have, because they didn't have any opportunity. And this is just how industry works, the way people describe it, they're trying to justify it.
Starting point is 00:25:43 They say this is just how industry works. Industry works, you come into an incredibly deeply impoverished area, you provide them with a way out like something or a better way. And so that better way of working 16 hours a day, people could argue, yeah, they're working 16 dollars a day for a dollar a day. Yeah, or whatever the waves they get, which is substantially lower than whatever they make here. I might be exaggerating. You can probably Google it, like how much does a Foxconn employee get per hour? But they'd say that that's how they're able to make these phones, because they can make them in these factories, when the people don't get paid as much.
Starting point is 00:26:16 But there's a bunch of people that jump off the roof. Like they have to put fences, nets all around the roof. They have nets to catch people like it's bananas. And when they talk about it, you know what they say? They say there's so many employees at work, there's like a half million employees. And the suicides are directly proportional to how many,
Starting point is 00:26:36 if that was like a population of a city, that makes sense. That amount of people always kill themselves. But they don't do it at work. And they live there. How many is it? It's the only though. I found one a little old, but it was like 12 dollars a day. You're gonna get like 400 a month. Wow. That's dark. There was some due last night on 60 minutes. Pretty interesting. There was two dudes, a guy who invented the Greek yogurt. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:07 He was, he needed $700,000 and he saw a factory open up in New York and he went to these people and he borrowed them on and he bought the, what's the hot Greek yogurt now? I don't know. Ches. I know you're talking about tremendous. And he had to buy a plant in Twin Falls, Idaho. And he hired, and he
Starting point is 00:27:25 hired what he hires as his refugees. He gives him jobs and people got pissed off at him. And they caught him. This guy donated 10% of his factory to his employees. I take it 10% of the earnings every month from the company. They break it up almost like a company sharing and all this shit. It was pretty interesting. That story was interesting. There was another one about a guy who's saying that these phones are programmed to program you.
Starting point is 00:27:52 Huh? You gotta watch this. I was too deep for fucking Uncle Joey. How did it turn? It was at work. This guy's saying that the industry is programming you through computers and through the phone. His explanation, you gotta hear it. When you get a minute, it was on last night. Can you find out how much an iPhone would cost if they made it in the United States? I can Google it. Yeah, Google that.
Starting point is 00:28:15 Just had a curiosity. So how much would an iPhone cost there now? Well, what they cost now, I think, $1 a day they get paid. I think a new iPhone, if you buy it in America, it's like $1,000 somewhere in that range. No. Yeah, but you know the cellphone company
Starting point is 00:28:32 subsidizes it. Retail at $1,000, you get it for $200, because Sprint wants you to, they subsidize it or you, they not subsidize it, what's the word I'm looking for? They make like a lease and they put it over the term of the contract So they spread out the amount of money that you're getting paid or that you're paying for the phone So if you get a pay 600 bucks for the phone they spread it out over three years
Starting point is 00:28:57 So if a three-year contract so like you can get it for like $200 off and so it looks great It looks great, but it's just factored into your monthly bill. Right. And you have them for like three years. I tried to pay the phone. They were like, no, they gave me a lot of money. Yeah, they don't want to do that. They don't want to do that.
Starting point is 00:29:13 They don't want to do that. It's probably more valuable to them. And then also you can't leave. I guess if you can leave if you have like a phone that is, what's the word without Unlocked jailbroken. No, no, I don't think it's that I think it's unlocked jailbroken is when you you get into it and you could fuck with it, right? Yeah, yeah So um it says that
Starting point is 00:29:46 The if every if all the components were made in the US it would push the cost cost up to 600, which they think would retail it for 2000. I would say $1,000 more. Wow. Hmm. We got to pay a lot more in fucking wages. Yeah. More than $12 a day, more like fucking $200 a day. Yeah, probably more than that, right?
Starting point is 00:30:02 Yeah. What's a union wage for a factory worker in America? It's... You know, and then people say, well, the cost of living is less over there. Like, okay, but so is the standard of living, you know? I don't know, man. I'm not, I'm no perfect person. I don't...
Starting point is 00:30:19 And where is this where they make these phones in China? I'm certain city in China, like a real fucking... I don't know. I don't know enough about it. I probably should know more. But it's one of the dark things about the cell phone industry. I think they said the new one, they're going to make somewhere else. Why did I read that somewhere?
Starting point is 00:30:39 That they're gonna make the new cell. They can suppliers of something recently. I don't know. Let's see. Is it Canada? Did I read that the new iPhone will They can suppliers of something recently. I don't know. Let's see. Is it Canada? Did I read that the new iPhone will be made in Canada? Did I read that or am I making it shut up? I could Google that next. This has the average assembly line worker makes about 13 bucks an hour. Well, that's not a lot. I thought it'd be a lot more for a warehouse worker.
Starting point is 00:31:03 I thought it'd be a lot more for a warehouse worker. Like 16, 18. Isn't it crazy that if you paid him that, just paying him that, the cell phone would cost another thousand bucks. He told me right now, yesterday. He goes, because I thought I couldn't go to the game. And when I went, he goes, you called my daughter and told her to take me to the game. That wasn't gonna fucking work. He goes, the only person I wanted to go to the game was with was you. Not even my son. How are you going to the game with you? Because I take him once a year, he's 76, he's my mother's brother you know. But yes and
Starting point is 00:31:32 on the way back he goes I wish him mother would grow up to see what you became. She goes at the funeral, you were a lost kid. But when you came here every time I looked at your eyes I thought it charged me. That way. So that's what it was. I thought about Jamasson. He was just like, you can boom my the only one get to you. Because you were a killer. He goes, you were either going to kill somebody.
Starting point is 00:31:55 He was telling me, bro. He that's what he, you know, he called me out. Nobody had ever called me out. I was 21 years old. You know what I'm saying? Right. After my mother died, he might be so sensitive. Don't say nothing to him. He might snap. Right.
Starting point is 00:32:08 My uncle said, I don't give a fuck if your mother died. That was five years ago. Put it behind you. It's over. The saying of free world bits. I ain't giving you a fucking dime. But when he said that to me last night, you know, it really hit home. He goes, you have killers out. You're going to kill somebody. You're going to kill me that fucking night. You were going to kill me. He goes, you have killers eye. You were gonna kill them eye. You're gonna kill me that fucking night. You were gonna kill me. He goes, you were gonna kill me for 500 fucking hours and that was a night. Well, we became friends.
Starting point is 00:32:30 You were definitely a different guy in the late 90s when we were first friends. Oh, please, yeah, yeah, yeah. But you reminded me of everybody that I knew from the pool hall. Like, I love being around you because you were like, what I hated most when I first came to LA was that when I was in New York and when I was in Boston, I was surrounded by, you know,
Starting point is 00:32:53 East Coast people that were either comics or they were martial artists or they were pool players. It was like, there was a grit to them. There was a fun. There was a, I could talk to them, you know, there was real conversations to them. There was a fun. I could talk to them. There was real conversations to be had. And then come out here, everybody was preparing for it. We were downstairs with all those people with their scripts.
Starting point is 00:33:15 They were preparing and they're sitting there. And I'm seeing them going over their lines, going over the thing. I'm like, this is hell. This is hell. Like this preparing for a role and being in the whole, the whole Hollywood scene, like trying to get people to like you
Starting point is 00:33:33 and hire you for things, it's just this weird world. It's a weird world. And here's this guy hanging out at the comedy store that was a total hustler. I mean, you were a total hustler. I mean you were a total hustler, you know, and we became friends like immediately. Like we became friends like right away I remember bringing you around the fucking news radio set. They're like who is this guy? This is fucking medicine guy and a leather jacket that keeps eating all
Starting point is 00:33:58 the shrimp. And you know, for me it was even the comedy store that we love it was very goofy. Oh it's goofy It's that time back then we saw it a couple of weeks ago. I've been taking leave with me And I go leave you want to come down you know lease on a call my foot. I'm gonna come to the store And it was great the first three or four times and he sat there when you know I got a tag for you You know, that was the worst it was the worst I got that short Tony I had a call I'm gonna apologize next day Tony Hinch clip Well, he was with you in Sacramento some uh-huh, I call him an apology Why because how to get the fuck out of that and Tony came up to me. I'm like Tony
Starting point is 00:34:34 I love y'all see and I I was telling you that someone's telling you they have a tag for you Well one night would leave me and we were getting ready to leave and like hold on They're like listen man, I heard that joke and we gotta give you this tag, you should say, I mean, we look for the show. I don't even know. And Lee's, I mean, Lee's like, that was fucking weird. And then the next night we went down again,
Starting point is 00:34:55 and that's when the guys were saying, we have this idea for a TV show. Oh my God. And you're like, I just get on stage. I just, you know, you're walking to your car. You're not even thinking about a TV show. Yeah. You're thinking about how you should've said the instead of cat, you know, just dumb shit.
Starting point is 00:35:11 Of course. And then, can we have a word with you? And he was right there. Mm-hmm. And this idea for you for a TV show, not even how are you. Right. Whatever you've been up to. And he looked at me and we were, as fuck, which really killed you when you're at the economy.
Starting point is 00:35:24 So, somebody's trying to sell you something It didn't totally hands-cloth came and I saw Tony. I'm like I Can't even I gotta get out of here like my head with a block the highness the set the people trying to sell me a TV show And the people that are trying to sell you things at the comedy store most likely they never sold shit before They just have an idea and they think they're gonna come to you And that's how they're gonna do a TV show, right? And it was just the idea we looked at each other like oh, they fuck I mean it was just so I understand that like at the Comedy Store is always that one person that you find warmth and and I found it with you because
Starting point is 00:36:00 Everybody at the calm everybody at that time Was looking to get on a show to quick comedy there was a big of that people would get on a TV show and that was it yeah and it would happen like four or five times and here's this guy that tapes a great show and after the 10 hour 12 hour shoot still comes and does his $15 set in the original at 12 o'clock. I couldn't figure it out. Most people would just go home and go,
Starting point is 00:36:32 fuck stand up, that's below me. You know, fuck stand up on the righty joke, you know. And it's really weird that people that have stuck it up and will always be stand ups. Like I always give those guys respect. Don't come back to it after the show got canceled and do stand-up. While your show is on you tell your agent, hey those weeks that you don't have me up at Warner Brothers, I want to be out. The whole fucking summer. I want
Starting point is 00:36:56 to do this. I don't know. Well, the show doesn't want you to curse on Stage. Say any fact jokes on stage. That's what he did to Tim Allen. No shit. You know, some sagging too. Yeah, no shit. So you have to, and he I'm watching this guy that's going against everybody else. He's going against what everybody else believes. Everybody wants to, you used to call us some of the means to the end of the means, means to a means to an end. That's it. That's in my life, that's not how I felt. To me, if I got on a show, that just helped me. That'll help me get up there. And it gets easier. Now, when I go to a club in Iowa, my dream was to get in a car and pull a match headband and go to all these clubs, just drive across country one time.
Starting point is 00:37:40 You know, be on a TV show, do the 26 episodes, but once that shit's over, we're getting your car and go, bon voyage, I'm out of here and just go across the country and you see a funny bone jump in there. You see a comedy catch jump in there. Yeah. You see a comedy so long jump in there. You see a pizza place with an open mic and you're in Minneapolis. Fuck, jump in there. You do that for six or seven weeks as a stand-up comic and people go Well, I just thought you were on TV. I didn't know you were this fucking funny Or this is what this is what I do. I didn't give a fuck. I didn't cut it
Starting point is 00:38:13 When I was growing up and I was watching Charles Bronson. I love Charles Bronson I love when he kills somebody. I loved all that shit with the cheer me for you with the fly and and then but I never thought I was gonna do that I thought that I was gonna do that. I thought that I would always be an extra, if they ever used me. I thought that they were gonna come to the communist store and say, hey you, you wanna be in my movie? You know, I watch Hollywood nights.
Starting point is 00:38:34 You ever see Hollywood nights at Tony Dan's in Michelle Fyfe, you see all the people around him on comics in the communist store. Arles, T.K. Carter, is the black guy that's doing the fraternity run. The dude who had the show on Married Man, Mike Binder. He's the fucking, the kid who has the mind of a married man. Mind of a married man. He's the mother fucker. Hollywood Knights is a famous place is closing down on Hollywood Boulevard. but these Hollywood nights, they have to...
Starting point is 00:39:09 I don't even forget, it's just but there's scenes when they take these black guys and they put sheets on them and they make them walk through a white night. I mean, it was just crazy and the people pissing the punch. But if you look at all the calm in that movie, they just went into the store and picked up a bunch of motherfuckers when they put them in there. The same thing with Gabe Kaplan, who we were put them in that the same thing with Gabe Kaplan Who we were grew up with the same thing with Jimmy Walker, you know supposed they cut the deal to Good time in the back and one of the boots there Freddie print. That's what we came from but you always remain the standout
Starting point is 00:39:38 You always that was your roots when I came here They I got here and they said all you got gotta go for an audition from my PD booth. I didn't go to an acting, I didn't know nothing about that. I knew nothing about that dog. I didn't know nothing about commercials. I thought they shot commercials and fucking Mars. I know the fuck they shot commercials. I came here seriously.
Starting point is 00:39:57 I'm not lying to fucking commercials. I came here and they go, you face is great for commercials. Okay. Yeah, I don't know, I don't know. I didn't even know. I never even thought about shooting fucking commercial I got a friend of mine was analyze that was that your your first big movie Base good boy base get ball. That's right. That's when I first started hanging out Yeah, right movie and shit by mistake
Starting point is 00:40:21 What the NYPD blue didn't get it and as I was walking by a dollar, let me pop something. She goes, you hear for your audition, I guess. So, give me a sheet of paper, I read it and boom, I booked three weeks of five grand. I never saw nothing like that in my life. I snorted every penny to the fuck. And then I robbed the fucking roller skates. I robbed a different pair roller skates every fucking day. All everything I went and I returned them in five guys. Well, isn't that the five sports sports guys Dick I'm fucking kidding. I would get to my room. They'd be a size 13 I wear them. I put them back on the box and clip them. The lady would come with wardrobe. Anybody see the roller skates on me? No, I put them in wardrobe
Starting point is 00:41:02 Okay Every day for three weeks every day I come back again It's like 13's and I started giving me size 12. We don't know what I'm doing 13 Me neither What the fuck what the fuck's going on? Then they ran on 12 they went by 11. I was putting 11. Oh, I was going I was coming home with band-aids. I didn't give a fuck They're 140 a pop plus tax when I return them.
Starting point is 00:41:26 And they were seeing every day the same sporting guys. I was like, how are you doing? What happened? Your grandma gave you this? How'd you do? All right, what do you want? Cash is checked. Let me get some cash.
Starting point is 00:41:36 Do I have to stop and get gas? By the time I quit, by the time I stopped shooting, I was down for like a size eight now. I was down for like a size eight now. I was down for like a size eight now. I was down for like a size eight now. I was down for like a size eight now. But you know, I think if you look at who they were, they were amazing. I mean, they're finished product. Like what they were able to put together was fucking amazing. And whether it came out of those four guys heads or those four guys heads and some other
Starting point is 00:42:01 people's heads too, it's the effort, the common effort of those artists to put all that music together and make these insane songs. The real problem is somebody didn't get credit for it. That's the real problem. The real problem is somebody didn't get paid, you know, and they definitely used it for their end product. So if you looked at it like say if you had a car, you're putting together a car and there's a bunch of different components, there a transmission there's the engine but
Starting point is 00:42:27 they want to put your transmission in you know but they don't want to pay you for your designs they just copy it and put it in there and then you find out hey but this is all my engineering I did all this research and development I should has copied it exactly they should they're supposed to say yeah you're right here's some money and then the question would be well how much money they deserve that's the problem because they probably deserve a fraud of money. That's how many times they play the incantio, the tannabal, it's kind of like they got forensic, for people in there. It would be insane. So it wouldn't just be
Starting point is 00:42:57 a matter of a little bit of money. It would be a matter of economy changing money. So it's going to be hard to get someone to sign off on it. And for probably, I mean, I don't understand too much about how the legal system works, but I would imagine that the lawyers that represent Led Zeppelin must be out of this fucking world. Yeah, no, that big time. That's the, that's, that's the record label. They saw this all the same. Yeah, you would be, you would be betting against the most ruthless savages in the history. So listen, they fuck out. They rob people to death the music industry. Did you ever read that quote? Love article that she wrote where she explained she broke down the music industry. No. She broke down what everybody gets paid. It's really well written. It's so well
Starting point is 00:43:43 written that they accused somebody else of writing it, and she got a ghost writer. That's how well written it is, because it goes into detail about how artists get fucked, and how musicians get fucked, and where all the music goes, or where the money rather for the music goes,
Starting point is 00:43:59 and how little of it actually makes it down to the artist. This is back when they were selling records. Now it's weird, because right now. The touring is where I guess the artist would come on. And Joe, you said that you didn't think someone would find them. I think if they got the right jury, like a younger jury who didn't have as much attachment to Led Zeppelin, I think they might see it from that point of view. I think it's well known now that artists don't make that much money from their music anymore So I think like some people might I mean they tried to what they said they stole this in 1970
Starting point is 00:44:32 That was that was the problem right there that was 47 fucking years ago 47 years of O and the millions of dollars like you were talking for that song You might be talking like $500 million or something crazy. It might be more than that. That might be like conservative. Like you're talking about the, if not the biggest super band, one of the biggest super bands of all time, the toured everywhere.
Starting point is 00:44:57 And you got to remember in 1973 in this country, we did two billion dollars in musical sales. I saw that on the 70s. It was the biggest year tou tour. Everybody was on the road Everybody from earth one and five the temptations led Zeppelin the stones Pink Floyd everybody was on the road those days. Erasmith. This was a fucking masterpiece of people type Newgent Did you ever see searching for sugar man? No, the one that won the Oscar about the musician. Yeah, Elvis to something like that. Well, no, he No, he was huge in South Africa and he never knew it. He was a huge star
Starting point is 00:45:34 And there's all these legends about what happened to him and how he died and you know But he his and his music is good man. It's good It just for whatever reason I didn't hit in the 1970s when he released it. And so this guy became like a laborer and he worked construction and he raised a family and he stuck around but he still kept like practice in his music. And then one day someone found him and they couldn't even believe it was him. They thought that he was dead and someone found him and told him, Hey man, you've been huge in South Africa forever. Huge. He was like, what? And he went over to South Africa like after he'd been
Starting point is 00:46:14 poor for like 30 years or something like that, you know? Like literally living in a place where he's got like a wood stove and he's burning fire in the wood stove, burning logs in there, there stay warm they show him doing this He goes over south african sells out arenas They can't even believe it when they see him they can't believe it. He starts singing songs They know the words they sing along with him. He's coming back from the dead. It's insane It's more than he's coming back from the dead. It's like this guy was a huge superstar and He was impoverously,
Starting point is 00:46:45 like he was almost like living a fake life for 30 years. They didn't even know how did they become a huge and South African? They played this place on the radio. They played this shit on the radio. So one guy found it. Could be, could be one guy found it. Sometimes that shit happens.
Starting point is 00:47:01 Did he have an album out? Yeah, yeah, a couple. And he made no money on him. No, he just fucking died. He made one that he had a chance to make the second one and he really, you know, they gave it a big push, but it just didn't catch. And they don't know why, you know, maybe it was the what the album looked like. You know, maybe it was, people just didn't give it a chance, but it was good. He's a good musician. And after that second album, he quit, but that music made its way to South Africa. It made
Starting point is 00:47:30 me cry. It really did. I just like, it was, I forgot about it. Somebody told me to watch it. And I have forgot all about it now. I'm watching. I'm watching. I was getting tears. I was tearing up because I was watching. I was like, this is, this is the story. He's amazing. Because this story is about this guy that just became this weird sort of humble guy who's really philosophical and kind of zen about life. And he gave all the money away. All the money he made Torrin after it became huge in South Africa. He gave it away. Went back to living just like how he was living before.
Starting point is 00:48:01 At least that's what they tell you. That's the legend. I hope not. Well, you know, I don't know. I mean, maybe he was happier that way. Maybe he just decided that at his age, he's in his 60s, at his age, all of a sudden, becoming this big star and going to South Africa and flying across the world and making money and not knowing why you're doing it. You know, and everybody says you're supposed to do it. He didn't like it.
Starting point is 00:48:23 I think he just wanted a quiet, more peaceful life. And maybe still touring a little bit, but damn. I bought the album. I bought whatever he has out there, whatever I could buy on iTunes. I think it's one, it might be two albums, so I think it's one. Now make sure he's getting the fuck of money.
Starting point is 00:48:38 Yeah, I hope so. He's taken it from him for the last 30 years. He's got something, now iTunes comes along. And gives you a 40, 60 split. I wonder what they would give him in a South Africa for all that, all the times they sold his records. Listen man, I heard something that John Oates Darrell, Paul Oates, in the end of 1990, they had sold 8 million records and they both had $50 in the back account. Whoa. Where'd you hear that?
Starting point is 00:49:07 Eddie Trunk, a serious radio that he's going to release a book now. The music business is as filthy as it gets. I don't get it. We had Danny Brown. I tried to have him explain to me all this mixed tape world and how I don't get it. I don't get it. I see an album. I buy an album for $8.99. It sells a million albums. What's that? $8.9 million? I think, right? Yeah. $899 million. No. $8.99. $8.99. Well, but just say, think of $9. Okay. It sells a million, $9 million. $ say think of nine dollars. Okay. I was a million nine million. Nine million fucking dollars.
Starting point is 00:49:45 Yeah, once this is the hardest cat, they got like two million. No wonder. The wreck of labor. I walked into the weed store today and they were playing Billy Jean. The video. That's the first time I saw him. All those other things that I'm usually going to be doing Billy Jean 15 fucking years ago. I started looking at it. I thought about that. That's when a wreck of labor put up. I have a mill for a video. Yeah. I have a fucking no. Great. You remember when Madonna had that
Starting point is 00:50:10 like a virgin? No, no, like prayer. Is that what it was? I'm a taxi. And she brought them like Jesus. Yeah. That's right. What fucking bananas? You know, all of them. And then coke or somebody signed Michael Jackson's hair went on fire. Yes. Yes. Yeah. That's hair went on fire. Yes. That's what started the pain pill addiction. Because when they, when he died, they realized that whole thing was awake.
Starting point is 00:50:32 Oh, man, he burnt his hair off. The whole time it had been awake, he had that scars in the back and the whole thing. Oh, wow. They lit him on fire and burnt his hair off. That's why he sued Coca-Cola. Whoever it was, Pepsi Coca-Cola. Whoever was Pepsi Coca-Cola. Wow, that makes sense. I mean, especially you consider all the chemicals
Starting point is 00:50:50 he used to have in his hair, you know? And 84, yeah. So that's where spray is super flammable. That's what started the pain. That's when he started telling people he was getting pain in his neck. He couldn't sleep at night. So that's how he was getting all his medication.
Starting point is 00:51:04 And then he go to these different parties and mingle Spread the word and they tell him stop by tomorrow. We got a fucking bag of goodies for your house. Wow And that's what led to him, you know fucking shooting whatever the fuck he was shooting at the end Well, he was taking tranquilizers at the end They were they were using like sedatives on them to make them go to sleep. So essentially they were putting him under sedation every night. They were using anesthesia. They were just conquered him out.
Starting point is 00:51:36 And against when you do that, you go out and shit, but you don't really sleep. Part of what you need is not just to be unconscious. You need to go through those cycles those cycles in your head And when you're in your anesthesia, you're not going through those cycles I'm not a doctor. No, no, no, I get you. It's like getting surgery It's like when I got my nose surgery one minute. You're there and they got it. You're gone You don't know what shit about what happened you wake up You don't really know if you tied or you slept them down. It's kind of a weird feeling
Starting point is 00:52:04 You just you kind of think about the lights you see the lights and you can't remember what's going on So I don't know how they get to date. I know if you get fucking Done one time. It's pretty fucking bad for you. Have you get done? Like if you get out of this these your people watch it People say it's not good And that's what people can't handle That's where it goes wrong. When they come out of here, and they've been fucking chilling in Iowa, or whatever the fuck they're from,
Starting point is 00:52:30 and they go on the comics to their sandwich in between Rogan and Nick the Bollow. And it's post-time, bitch. It's Wednesday at 10.45. And you got the 11 o'clock spot, and your sandwich, and you know, it's a fucking nightmare, and it's your skin, and it's your pride, if you you know, you know, it's a fucking nightmare and it's your skin and it's your Your pride if you hang out or whatever for a guy like me. I didn't give a fuck I knew it was about percentages and I knew the more you got up there and you worked a little bit out
Starting point is 00:52:56 If the better you get did you did you ever do stand up in New York? Did you ever like no? You're doing New York this week. Yeah, we doing Gotham? That's a great club. Great club. But you know, that's the best place. New York, I did New York in 94. What I did, but I go to New York comedy club. I go to stand up New York. To do that was sick.
Starting point is 00:53:15 They don't like me at comedy. Well, he had Lucien didn't like me. And then there was these other little holes that I would go to. I would drive a limo. And then between driving limos, I would stop, and get on stage, and I was terrible, and I knew I was terrible. But my options were I would go back and do Coke and Cry, and look at Stand Up Comedy by Judy Carter,
Starting point is 00:53:35 and look at the comedy newspaper, you know, that used to be a just for last, I came out of San Francisco, and I would read the articles, like, I still remember the best articles I read in there were about X and you know they had different calmly scenes all over the country is very interesting to read and at the end They had all the active calmly clubs and it was pages, you know, Arizona
Starting point is 00:53:55 Arkansas Whatever what started would be with a can of California You know and you looked at all eggbees and all these clubs and you had this dream that someday I might get good enough and I might be able to play at eggbees, you know. And then what's a name? Do the contest at the county works. And Wendy, Wendy to the contest. And the winner got 500 bucks and a ticket to Los Angeles to perform and from Mitzi Shore at the well-famous comedy store. And there was his dude, Matt Woods. Matt Woods, Matt Barry, Matt Barry Soul shows.
Starting point is 00:54:35 Matt Woods was his buddy, and he would work with comics on Tuesday night and take him to his apartment, and he wrote, and then you go through the open mic. I was always doing the sports betting thing. I couldn't get to his apartment. So he didn't really dig me. So then I had a contest that came in second, but the first place guy had Rob Seinfeld.
Starting point is 00:54:52 And all these comics that he Rob Seinfeld. So Joey gets the redeem. I got the 500, but I never got the point ticket. So he stole some Seinfeld's jokes to win the contest. So when the contest. You know, when I was raised with the fucking old interview sheets, remember when you applied for a job in the 70s? It said five lines, your name, I just knew there was a box and it said, don't answer the fucking questions.
Starting point is 00:55:17 Unless there's a check in that fucking box. And my friend thought I was at a sandwich place one time. And I go, you need help man Hi, somebody goes look at all these people who applied already. I can't hire none of these dummies Because they all fucking wrote in here and it says don't So if they can't get that right. Yeah, I don't want to do business with them and people don't listen I don't want to do business with them like if I tell you something an hour and two hours later You call me with something stupid. I just don't meet you from the phone. Like I'm done, like I'm fucking done.
Starting point is 00:55:46 I can't deal with, so I wanted to make people fucking listen again. It's a great gift to have. I love to talk, I also love to fucking listen. The other day when you and Dominic were talking for 40 minutes and I raised my fucking hand. No. But I raised my fucking hand.
Starting point is 00:56:02 No, I'm learning. I didn't have, I wasn't in the place to fucking raise my hand. No, that raised my fucking hand. No, I'm learning. I didn't have I wasn't in the place to fucking raise my hand. I'm amongst people who really know what the fuck they're talking about. That's a problem in America today. People want to chime in when you don't know what the fuck they're talking about. You think I went to YouTube because I like smelling assholes and feet and you think I like choking. It's not in my inventory. But you know what, man? I'm sick and tired of listening to MMA fucking analysts that never even tackled the fucking tackle dummy How are you gonna know what these guys feeling in the ring if you never got clocked in the face?
Starting point is 00:56:34 Let me favor shut the fuck up. That's with any sports rider They sit there and they insult football players. It was the last time you play football fuck all Do you know what they're doing out there now? No, you know, it happens with basketball, it happens with baseball. There's always these people that you look at them and they've never done nothing in their fucking life. And they want to write about a sport.
Starting point is 00:56:53 They don't know, oh, I was a fan of the game. No, you were a fan, but you never played it. Do you know, Annick started taking Jiu Jitsu? You have to. You have to. Me just fucking around with you guys, I have to do something. I have to describe a hyperscape. I have to know from you have to. I've meet you just fucking around with you guys. I have to do something. I have to describe a hyperscape.
Starting point is 00:57:07 I have to know what it's like before I could sit there and judge a guy. What a fucking mod. But that goes on a lot in today. Let me start up a blog because, you know, I'm talking bad about Michael's bids being not fighting whatever the fuck you've done, what the fuck did you do? But a lot of it is them just trying to get attention.
Starting point is 00:57:24 And the way to get attention is to be negative and I've been very vocal fighting against that. I don't like insulting writers that that shit on MMA in particular. Don't like it at all. Don't like it at all. Don't like it at any level. It's not they're not respecting what that thing is. That thing is an insanely difficult endeavor to be a fighter and to put your emotions on the line, and then for someone to calcally disregard that, look, you can pump up the person who won and you could criticize the technique of the person
Starting point is 00:57:53 who lost, but they go way further than that. There's some of them that they make of person look like a buffoon. I don't like no of that shit. There's no reason for that. We learned a lot with Ronda Rousey. We learned a lot about society. There's two things that taught me a lot the last year. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm a fucking guy from Utah. When Rick Romney went on a front truck, and then Trump won, and he went to his house. And you know why people didn't say anything about it?
