Starting point is 00:00:00 What it is. Wow, this country music is amazing. This is Tyrus in for Will Kane. And that's right. Do not adjust your screens or adjust your volumes. I might have to turn it down just to scotch because I think my voice is a little deeper. No disrespect again.
Starting point is 00:00:25 Thank you for Will for having the confidence to bring me on. And we're just going to jump right into it. it. I'm excited about our guests today. My favorite chef, absolute favorite chef, not just because I've done the Gutfeld show with him umpteen times. And not that him and I need to have a chicken dinner one day or a chicken meal perhaps named after me. It is a very successful restaurant. And then, of course, he's overshadowed today because he has his wife on with him. So this is, this is, but I noticed you're sitting a little closer than the screen, Gru, what are you doing? Back up, just that's right.
Starting point is 00:01:04 Now it's all weird. It's like, what's it feel close to you, Tyrus? Oh, okay. Well, you know what? We kind of bonded. We've, you know, he's been doing the show at a high level. I think he's one of our most popular guests, so congratulations. And now you can steal the light from him a little bit, and that's fine because my wife does

How did you guys meet? This is, I'm meeting,
Starting point is 00:02:30 I'm meeting your wife for the first time. How did you guys meet? Okay. So he will say it's through Instagram. That is partially true. Okay. So in culinary school and a friend of mine said, oh my God, I just interviewed this up and coming chef in the area. You have to meet him. And I swore off dating. I had just broken up with a boyfriend. I was like, no, no, no. And then I saw his picture and I was like, oh, wow. Okay, that is going to be my husband. And she's like, you're crazy. I'm like, mark my words. I'm marrying that guy. And so I followed him on Instagram, and this was before DMs. So he followed me back and then gave me his email on one of my comments.
Starting point is 00:03:04 On a comment thread. On a comment thread. So you didn't care. You put it out. You went for it. I went. Unabashedly. Let the world see me be denied.
Starting point is 00:03:14 I don't care. And I was like, I was like, shoot me an email. I mean, does it get more eloquent than that? You were cool. Was your hair longer than? Were you a rebel? Did you have the beard? I actually had like spikier hair
Starting point is 00:03:28 I looked like a mix of like Lisa Loeb and Melissa Etheridge at the time That's right You said that several times Like Gutfeld You've really gonna keep writing There's a little pooch going on
Starting point is 00:03:37 A little something And okay So how was the first day? And it was six weeks later Six weeks later we got married Six weeks later Yes You didn't even have time
Starting point is 00:03:49 To remember each other's full name I okay You want to hear something hilarious I would love to Because I'm in just You know what though I can't talk too much because like I when I met my wife we went on like one date and then we were never apart after that. So I get it. But like you got married in six weeks. Like that's that's six
Starting point is 00:04:09 weeks. It was crazy. So we went to he I'm doing the math. That's not two months, right? No, it's not even too much. That's a month in two weeks. You guys got married two weeks longer than Black History Month. Wow. That's amazing. So we went to Hawaii, and this is how little I knew him. He's on his phone. I'm getting mad. I'm going, gosh, I'm like, this guy's so rude. He's been on his phone the entire day.
Starting point is 00:04:35 You know what? I've seen that behavior as well, and it bothers me. And I'm like, why are you on your phone? We're in Hawaii. He goes, oh, it's my birthday. And I was like, oh, my God. Literally proposed to me the next day. I had just found out it was his birthday.
Starting point is 00:04:48 You learned his birthday, and then the next day was the rest of your life. Exactly. So now you have no excuse. Have you ever forgot his birthday? Never. Do you give him the same level? Now, let's play again. I wish I could have headphones where he couldn't listen why I asked you a question.
Starting point is 00:05:06 And then I'll ask him a question and let me put it together like the old Newlywood game. But does, do your birthday gifts match his birthday gifts? Ooh. That means no. That means no. His are better. He, because he doesn't need anything. No.
Starting point is 00:05:24 Of course not. No, why would he need a surprise in his life? I did do a nice surprise, though, for his 40th birthday. That was nice. Oh, okay. Well, please share. Well, it was during COVID, unfortunately. But I got all of his friends and his family from around the world to send in video clips.
Starting point is 00:05:41 And we did, like, a montage. And it was super fun and sweet. And his parents were in it and his niece, everybody we know. So that was awesome. Did you like that? Yeah, I still got to watch that. So that was a lot. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:54 All right. So what's the best gift he ever gave you on your birthday? Oh, he, it was my 30, how old is I turning? 33. So smart, you didn't answer. Nice job. And we went down to Oceanside and we were just going to stay at this nice hotel with a friend of ours and our kids. And I go into the lobby and my brother's there, my sister and my nieces and nephews. And he had flown in everybody to celebrate me. So that was super nice. Wow, big spender. Must be all those fancy meals. I use them my miles.
Starting point is 00:06:29 Conservative, of course you did. So when did you guys get in? Because it's not an easy thing. Like I run a business. Well, my wife runs a business that I'm involved in. But was it something that naturally occurred for you guys going to business together? Because that's not always a good recipe for success when you and your wife or a family member. or even a friend going to business together.
Starting point is 00:06:54 Was it something that just kind of happened? Or was it something you guys decided together? She was towards the end of culinary school, and she had a business sense to begin with. She'd been working, and I said, you know what, the heck with culinary school, just come in and run the restaurants with me, and I'll teach you everything you need to know.
Starting point is 00:07:11 And, like, thrust her into the restaurant, said, hey, everyone, this is the restaurants, right? Restaurants, yes, not restaurant. Restaurants, fancy, yes. Well, that's important to mention, because that's a totally different undertaking. One restaurant, you know, it's kind of like you go through the checklist day by day, multiple restaurants and franchisors, franchisees.
Starting point is 00:07:32 So it's like, hey, everyone, here's my new wife. Oh, and by the way, she's also co-owner and calling the shots. So she just jumped right in. I didn't want to at first. I said, are you sure? Should we work together? Like, he's like, yes. Because you're going to be together all the time.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Exactly. That's the point. And then so it was so funny. We went out one night. And I was very responsible, right? we go out at least one of you is thank you and he's like just he goes don't go to work and I said
Starting point is 00:07:57 I have to go to work like I can't not show up and he's like please just work with me and I was like fine and I text my boss I'm not coming in sorry he made you quit on the spot boy you must have not true I told her sick day I told her I had used all my sick days for all
Starting point is 00:08:14 of our travels you look hey look I'm telling you you avoided a disaster because could you just imagine you make your wife leave school, you make her quit her job, and it will never happen, but let's say the restaurant went south. I would not want to be you for that conversation at the dinner table every time you have an argument for the rest of your life would have been awful. So, but it's a, I have yet, I cannot wait until I get the gruel experience at the restaurant. I've always heard great things
Starting point is 00:08:46 about it. I've, uh, people always talk about, uh, the amazing food, the, the, the atmosphere. It's very like you don't want to go there with dirt on your fingernails. It's a very nice, clean eating experience. And I'm all for a positive eating experience. Now, where are your restaurants at? Like for someone who's planning a vacation or lives in the area, where can they find your restaurants? So there's right now one flagship restaurant because in 2023, sorry, 2022, we sold all the
Starting point is 00:09:15 restaurants. We sold all of our biggest concept that was a large multi-unit group. And I should mention, too, we said we will never open another restaurant again. And then 48 hours later, we signed a lease on this space. And it is in Huntington Beach, California, right on the Pacific Coast Highway. Hey, we'll be right back. This is Tyrus filling in for Will Kane on Will Kane Country. All the things, you wear a lot of hats.
Starting point is 00:09:41 But cooking is your passion because you just can't stay away from it. I mean, obviously, you're building a successful TV career. you're doing things in politics. So it is, can you ever imagine a life where you guys weren't? Because cooking is an art form. It is an art form. And as a chef, it's how you make people eat your art so they don't get to hang it on the wall. The nice thing is I'm sure that your artwork is in Facebook pictures all over the country.
Starting point is 00:10:11 So that's, I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. But is it something that you think you could never not do? Correct. At the end of the day, like, this is something. We say, oh, we're going to retire and we'll just totally, you know, unplug and no one will ever hear from us again. And we'll have a nice restaurant. And it's like, wait, wait, wait, we said retire. But like, it's just always part of it, right? It's built into the programming, uh, cooking. And in one of the questions and the kind of cliche questions we get all the time is like, oh, after a day of working in your restaurant cooking, you must just go home and eat cereal or, you know, you do take out it. I was not going to ask
Starting point is 00:10:48 you that because I know you would not do that it's quite the opposite like that's the thing funny thing is we get home and a lot of times it's like then we have a huge meal plan and we're arm wrestling over who's cooking for the family so you guys have cooking showdowns do you have cooking battles mom versus dad a little bit a little bit who's the who's the king or queen of breakfast uh it's a tough one it's tough probably Lauren because she's the morning person so I'll be up until like one or two in the morning and then she'll be up at 5 a.m. Who holds the spatula at the barbecue? That's me. That's me. Well, that's a man thing. Even if you were, even if she was a better cook, you got to give, you got to give man the barbecue.
Starting point is 00:11:30 Like, it's, it's what we judge ourselves by. I won't let, like, if someone came over to my house and I was barbecuing and they came over and say, hey, you want me to flip something? I would ask them to leave. Like, you do not. That is sacred. He's the same way. Yeah, no, no, it's a man thing. You don't have to be an accoutrement, chakouterie board, world famous chef to want to own the barbecue. That's just, that's primal. That's from our ancestors. That's just a man thing. That's like territory.
Starting point is 00:11:58 You don't, you don't besmirch the barbecue pit. And then, okay, holiday dinners. Who does the Thanksgiving turkey? Who's in charge of all that? That's me. Okay. That's me. But she'll do all.
Starting point is 00:12:10 She was baking and pastry focused, so she'll do like. So she makes some, some bomb. mass desserts then. I do. And guess what? I make a great pumpkin pie and guess who hates pumpkin pie. Well, thanks for coming on. Sir, if you could just slide off the screen, that would be great, you commie. What's wrong with pumpkin pie? Next thing you say you don't like sweet potato pie? Well, first of all, pumpkin to me just tastes, it's bland. It's rich, but it's bland. But I don't like pie in general from a geometric perspective, right? Like, I want to eat a bite. I don't want a little bit of the crust falling off. And then the wider it gets in the slice. That's why if I did have
Starting point is 00:12:47 pumpkin pie, I'd take a little square from the very center. Yeah, because you're selfish, yeah. Of course. All the goodness goes to you. Yeah, it's, uh, lemon meringue pie is my favorite but I can honestly say I've never met a pie I didn't really like. Let's just, I'm just going to put it out there. Pies, or I would rather have a pie on my birthday than a cake. Like I just, lemon meringue pie is my all time favorite. And I'll settle for a key lime pie, but lemon Prang pie is my all-time favorite. Oh, then there's pecan pie. Or I guess if you're fancy, you say pecan.
Starting point is 00:13:19 My wife says pecan. I say pecan, so whatever that means. Then there's the only one I had some trouble with was mince meat, but it was a pie, so I got through it anyways. Yeah, he doesn't like pie. He doesn't like cheesecake. He doesn't like cheesecake. I don't like cheesecake because it's a pie. How can you call it pumpkin pie and cheesecake?
Starting point is 00:13:38 Because essentially it's just a thicker pumpkin pie without pumpkin. And it's cheese. I don't want cheese in my pie. You know, I just, I just cheesecake factory will never go out of, we'll never run out of a cheesecake if I'm around. Like I do not do cheesecake. I, I, to test it, I just the smell of it. I, I'm with you on that one.
Starting point is 00:13:57 And, you know, even though I feel you're a little out of touch with, with your disrespect for pies and let that go, speaking, I want to do, I want to do one little story with you because I think you're going to agree with me. So the Kim Kardashian, right? she's in trouble right all the things that you could be mad at kim cardassian for they're mad at her because she didn't know how much a carton of milk cost and said that she was out of touch with the real world first of all do you call it a carton no nobody calls it a carton it was only
Starting point is 00:14:30 it used to be a carton when they had the missing kid on it yeah exactly and then nobody wanted to have a sad breakfast looking at somebody lost so we went back to the gallon because you cannot put a gallon. And we had it better than those Canadians who literally put their milk in a bag and then they cut the top of it. Like, I've traveled the world. I've had milk in all the finest lands. And Canada is not the top of the list. But no, it's a gallon of milk. But she's a, what, 100 millionaire? I think she has a guy for that. Well, I will say this, right? If you had asked any of the other 100 millionaires out there, they would pretend like they knew it and as if they went to the grocery store and they were shopping for ourselves,
Starting point is 00:15:12 at least give her credit for just being like, I'm rich, I have no idea. And I don't think she drinks milk. Yeah, she definitely doesn't drink milk. No, at least not cow milk, you know, probably ocelot milk from some rare island, you know, or like she paid to have some extinct animal brought back just for milking purposes. That's the type of things I would do with that kind of money. Maybe that's why I don't have it. Or no, no, I'm a horse dad.
Starting point is 00:15:37 That's why I don't have money. But I just feel like these are not real issues that people are getting worked up about. And we're seeing a lot of it now, right? We're seeing, and also ties into something like everyone keeps going crazy about AOC, right? And I don't get it. I don't understand why we talk about AOC so much. And she says things like, I want to talk about real issues, like air that's drinkable. That was the greatest quote.
Starting point is 00:16:07 Yes, listen to this. That was phenomenal. But I checked it. I even have a clip. Let me roll my clip. I'm trying to impress Will and his team. Chef, you're not going to take over this cooking show today. Roll that beautiful footage.
Starting point is 00:16:20 Instead of talking about real issues that affect our lives. Instead of talking about health care, instead of talking about wages, instead of talking about having air that's drinkable. That's why I don't worry about AOC. Like she, the only people who should be. worry about AOC is the people in her district, those poor bastards that live in her district. Agree? Like, why do they act like she has this world?
Starting point is 00:16:46 Like, the media plays like she, her decisions affect us. They don't. She's one vote. At all. I think she just has great sound bites like that. Yeah. Air that's drinkable. All I can hear the song now.
Starting point is 00:17:00 All I need is the air that I can drink and to love you. Here's my take on this quote, though. I think that AOC, she has kind of, she has a little bit of a leaky brain. And I'm not saying that as an insult. Many of us do, right? I think that she's young. She's on social media all the time, like things come in and they slip out. I think she was sitting in a meeting and they were talking about taxing the air and all in like some Democrat convention.
Starting point is 00:17:24 And then she distilled that into this quote accidentally. So get ready for them to tax the air and sell us the straw. But let me, but when you, when you are in your position, you take it very seriously that you're not the same. guy right now that you'd be on TV, you're prepared. You would not speak to your constituents without being prepared. You wouldn't say something so obnoxiously ignorant to say drinkable air. When you, and that's the, that's the thing is like, she's not even trying. They're just winging it. And I don't, I feel like when you see people who talk like that, that should be, should only further let you know that you miss played your vote terribly. I,
Starting point is 00:18:07 cannot think of any any even on a TV show if I was talking to you if I was not prepared and even though literally your name is chef gruel and I talk to you about what's it like being a foreman on construction how long would you stay in that interview with me where I'm like so what's it like with two by fours what's that like for you you know you'd be like I'm a chef I don't believe that's accurate and then if you call me on again I'd be like you know what you're racist you know that's a good point actually and I have like spoke at council meetings and I'll myself saying the wrong thing
Starting point is 00:18:40 and immediately correct myself and laugh about it like oh so that's a really good point. Why didn't she think oh I didn't mean drinking the air? That's so silly. How could I say that? That's hilarious. Instead she just kept rolling with it. Because she's trying to remember the talking point
Starting point is 00:18:57 that she's supposed to speak. Nothing comes from them. Because she probably misread it. Like she probably mis-memorized it. you know it's like ron burgundy they rolled the wrong thing on the teleprompter so instead of saying f u san diego she said air is drinkable which unless you're a fish in the in the water that's accurate i don't know maybe she wants us all live underwater maybe that's a there's a utopia maybe she found atlantis
Starting point is 00:19:26 you know like i i i this is what bothers me about town halls in the media if i was there i would raise my hand and said when it comes to drinkable air how so Like, please explain more. How are you going to make this happen? And they never do. They just let them say it. And then it's, we're the weirdos for bringing it up. Well, then it's Republicans pounce.
Starting point is 00:19:49 Right. And even it's just we don't understand. I want to understand. You know, because here's a perfect example. You take an AOC who's just nonsense and never saw a camera she didn't like. And to me, I don't see how many losses she passed and she's been in? I think I can tell you that one Gooseeg. So apparently
Starting point is 00:20:10 she's the job is to try to just get reelected or move on. That's at least my opinion, that's how it looks to me. Then you have a guy like Senator Fetterman who talks about common sense issues and is and roll this clip. Listen to this.
Starting point is 00:20:26 You know, I campaigned for thousands, thousands of miles across Pennsylvania for vice president Harris. And it was going to be incredibly difficult you could just feel the energy there and people really have connected there and at a very fundamental level and that's what i tried to explain to my party and i'm trying to explain to the party right now it's like this is why we lost and this is where we need to be to continue to win for
Starting point is 00:20:50 these things and there are parts of extreme things emerging clearly on those things and that's why i refuse to follow that even if that is going to cost me uh support in parts of the base you know what's crazy to me chef is that this man has just survived a stroke yet he makes more sense speaks more clearer than pretty much anyone in the democratic party right now and all he's doing is pushing common sense right i mean you don't have to be a democrat to respect what he says that's totally true and i feel like the the left has gone so far left that like anybody who still agrees with them. They're crazy. They're the crazy one.
Starting point is 00:21:34 I think it's interesting that Federman, that's how the Overton window is shift. Federman now, people are attacking as being somewhat seemingly conservative when... Yeah, he's a Republican now because he just wants to get... There's a thing. We used to, in this country, when the other side won, it was the, like, if the Democrats win, it's the Republicans' job to work with them. Like, you should... Every president, the first hundred days, it should be with. whatever you want. You won. You had the better message. The American people picked you. So
Starting point is 00:22:06 these hundred days, whatever you're trying to get in, it should be universally respected and voted for. I think that should be set the tone. You don't have to agree with what the thing was, but the people spoke. And I feel like they do a really good job of making the people sound irrelevant. You know, like because they attack, like they're like, oh, Trump's border policies, he got voted in because of his, one of the many reasons, but, like, was because of his stance on the border. Like, was his stance on, on, on, you know, bringing law and order back to this country. And the fact that the AOC can't see that, that she's acting like the people who voted overwhelmingly, they didn't know what they're talking about.
Starting point is 00:22:48 It's almost like an elitist, narcissistic kind of way of, of governing to where they just can say whatever, nonsense, because they're not going to work. Like, so it's the shut, the same thing with the shutdown. Is that, if it wasn't President Trump in, do you think we even have a shutdown right now? No, no, not at all. I think the Republicans would have come up with a continuing resolution and compromised. You're 100% right. If it was the Democrats in control, which kind of it is.
Starting point is 00:23:15 But if they were in the White House, certainly. And the things they're asking for go against what the American people voted for. And I kind of commend the president for not bending because if you, don't bend the policies that they get in, the American people feel betrayed. Like, I feel like it's that simple. And I don't, but, and you, do you think this will affect them? Is it too far out to hurt them in the midterms? Can they, you know, because this isn't going to last forever.
Starting point is 00:23:45 Well, the unfortunate thing that we never consider is the way in which the media spins it. Well, we do consider it. But, like, I think fundamentally, this shouldn't hurt them at all. I actually think it should help them because we haven't seen an effect from the shutdown. The media is trying to make it something bigger than it is. For example, oh, the military is not going to get paid. And then Hegset says, I'm going to do everything in my power. I believe Trump, the administration, freed up resources to pay the military.
Starting point is 00:24:10 I think the other thing was like the TSA agents aren't going to get paid. So all the airports are going to be shut down. Exactly. And that didn't happen. So it's kind of interesting that they keep trying to create this catastrophe that hasn't happened. And I think the lion's share of Americans don't even realize the government is shut down right now. no because they're living their lives and I think um am i going to ask your wife this question he's obviously knee deep in the political spectrum like he's in it uh and as and you come up
Starting point is 00:24:39 with someone who's not like you're you've got a million other things going on so maybe you're not as dug in deep like to where like everything's political political political yeah and running a business raising the kids all that kind of stuff how much of the impact of the rhetoric do you see spill in every day because California is tough right now because of all the issues with Newsom and whatnot. How much do you see this diverse, the division in everyday life? Are you seeing it? Is it prevalent at the restaurant? I'm not seeing it at all. See, that's my point. If there wasn't, you know, the media, the shutdown, blah, blah, I would have no idea. If they never told us, I'd have no idea, right? I mean, we're living our lives every day. It's the same.
Starting point is 00:25:24 Maybe better. I don't know. I think it's, and again, by no means I'm saying you're not informed, saying that you are doing normal. He knows way more. Yeah. He knows more than I do. I don't even try to pretend it. He keeps me up to date. Well, it's inside baseball.
Starting point is 00:25:40 So it's like, but I think the average, that's a great point to ask her that because as she goes through it and then before I give her the inside baseball, like it's just the general perspective on the way in which your day to day life is working. And yeah, I mean, like, we've got issues here in California by. virtue of the economy and gas prices and regulations. But that has nothing to do with the, you know, the sky is falling approach that we hear about from the propaganda legacy media. Like I grew up in California, gas has always been high for some reason. Like, we always seem to get screwed on stuff. I remember the one of the most frustrating things is when they put that 100% tax at the DMV.
Starting point is 00:26:19 So, like, it would cost you, like, when you're registering a car or you were like paying for your tag or whatever the deal was, it would be double. so a lot of us couldn't afford to get like our drivers, our tags and license renewed because it was too expensive. And I remember Swarsinger came in and that's the first thing he did was he got rid of it. So like California's always kind of had these flaws.
Starting point is 00:26:39 But I guess the other side of California was it was the place where there was the greatest opportunity to change your life. And I'm not sure that it's still that place anymore. I think that's what concerns me a little bit is I no longer see people like, I'm going to California because I'm going to chase my dream because you can dreams get made true it's like California was America's Disneyland you know it's
Starting point is 00:27:00 like you didn't want to be you go to California to discover yourself or or chase your dreams start your business become an actor performer whatever it is that you wanted to do California was a land for that and I think I think that's gotten lost in all this would you agree with that I agree with that Lauren though see I'm a Jersey boy she grew up here so she can really speak on kind of the evolution I mean I think I'm fortunate in the sense that I grew up in Huntington Beach So I've been here my entire life. I haven't really seen anything too crazy too much of a shift right Huntington Beach is great and you know it is true. I don't hear a lot of people saying I'm moving to California is usually the opposite. They're getting out of here. Right. And that's and that's because it used to be you didn't mind the high cost of living because it was a chance to get to make money to have to make generational wealth in California. But hopefully that will change, you know, because the world the way the United States works, it's like peaks and valleys and a lot of reconnects. And, uh, hey man, I really appreciate. appreciate you taking the time. It was nice to meet you. And again, let's think about that Tyrus chicken surprise we're working on. But man, thank you guys so much. And oh, you have a podcast,

Y'all be safe out there and continue to grow and good luck with all your adventures. And you're on Gutfeld pretty much at least a couple times a month now. So, you know, I'm sure we'll cross path soon. Excellent. Appreciate you. All right. Hey, we'll be right back.
Starting point is 00:29:17 This is Tyrus filling in for Will Kane on Will Kane Country. What it is, we are back. Tyrus filling in for the great Will Kane. Is he great? Yeah, he's great. He's cool, dude. Although I don't really care for his choices in sports teams. But, hey, I'm excited for a whole other season of the NBA to start up
Starting point is 00:29:41 and for him to get his heartbroken by his Mavericks again. So, you know, but without further ado, I'm very excited to have Aaron Berg on. And then you've got a pretty accomplished dude here, man. Oh, thank you. Star of Conjobs, co-host of the SDR show and Modern Day Man, which is on X. And then, of course, you can check him out at 2 A's, R.O.N. Berg at Comedy. And that's on X, right? That's Aaronberg.com or Aaronberg Comedy on X. You got it.
Starting point is 00:30:10 All right, man. So let's just get right into it. We were talking before the break even started. Do you have kids? One kid. A daughter. She's a girl. Okay. Yeah, I have six. Wow. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, four from me and then two I took on when I got married.
Starting point is 00:30:29 So I got a little, I got sick. I got three boys and three girls. And one of my youngest jumps horses. So I'm always doing the dad worrying about his daughter thing. But this bothers me. This chap GPT thing is looking to roll out erotica as if lonely guys need another avenue to continue to stay lonely. Yeah. And then they're like, well, once age verification hits.
Starting point is 00:30:53 do we have some do we have some information on that we can roll real quick we just have a something that pop up on the screen it's just Sam Altman's chat GPT will soon sext with verified adults sexting with verified adults just what the world needs
Starting point is 00:31:12 there's already so many problems with kids getting lured in by these sickos I don't let my kid play Roblox without blocks on it no you cannot I have I found I used to one of the things that I do do is I play games with my kids. They have to play with me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:27 You know, like I do Fortnite with my son and stuff, but when Roblox first came out, I made the character with them and we'd all get on because you'd play all the different games. Yeah. And then I just noticed that I was getting
Starting point is 00:31:36 a lot of DMs because for some reason, they thought I was a 12-year-old. Yeah. I mean, you would look at it if you shaved. I didn't, you know, I didn't do the, you know, I just did the thing with my kids and I was like, how are these dudes getting in here?
Starting point is 00:31:49 And then I see them in the thing, and it was that they would offer trades. They would offer the kids, like a fancy toy or something. Yeah. We started talking to him and asking for pictures and stuff. So I deleted that for a long time ago. It's the creepiest thing around.
Starting point is 00:32:00 The internet is so creepy for kids. When we grew up, there was, the only creepy thing was a guy in a van. Yeah, but you knew to avoid him or, like, it was every Halloween. There was the one house you didn't go because he gave wine coolers and the king-sized snicker bars. You know you didn't go there. Or if you went, you had to be quick. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:19 Get the stickers and get out. Yeah, when we were coming up, the dumb ones didn't make it. No. You know what I'm saying? They got got. And then there was that awkward thing on a school bus. Like, hey, how was your Halloween? I don't want to talk about you what I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:32:30 So it's not like that anymore. Now that the old man is pretending to be one of their peers on the net, I just, I personally can't get more disgusted with Facebooks and all these social media things that they come up with these bullshit fixes. Like, oh, we're going to do age verification. If they, and I want to get your thoughts on this as a dad, I always. thought there's only one way to stop this every account you have to have an ID to do it sure so therefore the sex trafficking is gone yeah because no one's got to sex traffic with their own information you got to have an ID to vote you have an ID to drive a car I think you should have to have a now not to have an ID to have a social media account one because then all the fake but that's
Starting point is 00:33:12 the problem all the fake accounts go away yeah and they lose billions and do you know how many people you and I would be able to fight if we knew exactly who was trolling us or you would stop the fake accounts. Yeah. I cannot tell you how many old, my silver-haired foxes, my little, my base, which is anywhere from 75 to 110, are sending $200 to struggling Tyrus who's trying to escape his wife. Yeah. And it's like, how is this possible? I probably get mimicked online every week. I'll have like 20 more pop up. And I'm always calling five. And then they have to put them out and put them out. And I'm just so curious to how they're able to do that. Like they know, Facebook knows that these, when they look at these programs and stuff
Starting point is 00:33:51 and they see people taking money and I feel for a long time as long as it was a conservative person that it was doing it you know that they didn't have a problem with it because if you imitate the wrong if you imitate someone that's on the side it goes away but and it hurt
Starting point is 00:34:06 a lot of people there should be a thing where it's like you're pretending to be somebody else it should be like in real life where you can sue these people or they they or sue Facebook yeah like someone pretends to be me they were doing fake stand-up shows for me people were buying
Starting point is 00:34:19 tickets. And then some of it's personal responsibility because like I don't have an Indian accent. So when you call me on the phone and you talk to me and I have an Indian accent, there should be some red flags. Yeah. Or I'm asking to borrow money and I'm on national television every week. And you're really making me want to do you in an Indian accent. Right? You know what I'm saying? Like it just absolutely blows my mind when when I see some of these impersonators. But the AI is getting pretty good. Yeah. They keep Really good. That six-finger giveaway,
Starting point is 00:34:51 you can't always look for the six fingers. No. And they took, probably the, it wasn't, it was funny because I have a Gen X sense of humor. Yeah. But they were like, Tyrus and wife adopts child with autism, right? And the picture. And the kid's face is sad,
Starting point is 00:35:08 and he had a shirt on it said autism. What orphanage in their right mind, would they label each kid's issue on a shirt? They got a remake. Fibber for a second time. Just Annie with autism and an autism Annie shirt on. It just blows my mind the stuff that they
Starting point is 00:35:26 come up with. But again, you really can't be surprised because, speaking of age verification, Hakeem Jeffreys just channeled his inner Dr. Seuss. Do we have that? House Republicans shut the government down. Then they
Starting point is 00:35:42 ran out of town. And for the last three weeks, they're nowhere to be found. Wow. Shakespeare. Yeah. Whom is he talking to? What voting? That's the base.
Starting point is 00:35:57 That's the base? Yeah. Who they don't like Dr. Seuss anyway. They said he was racist. Yeah, but when Hakeem Jeffries does it, it's super woke Dr. Seuss now. Yeah, it didn't even work. He forgot his lines. I am a Democrat.
Starting point is 00:36:09 Most of our women's are fat. You can tell by their pink hat. When it comes to politics, I am a rat. If you don't believe me, verify my voting record, and it will tell you that. That was too clever. It was pretty smart. Yeah, that was pretty good. See, you're already out.
Starting point is 00:36:22 I'm educated. I would not have dinner with President Trump in a box. I will not wear my socks. I will not eat locks. I don't pee standing up because my pronouns don't dictate that. That didn't even rhyme, but that's who they are. Why is it so stupid what's happening on the left? Why?
Starting point is 00:36:42 I keep racking my brain because I don't think the people that we see on television, represent real democrats i think but you see them on the streets in new york but you always go to interview if someone is available for an interview in the middle of the day chances are their life's not going they're not they're not at work tyrus i'm here now you're working if you were just hanging out with a fur coat on the corner i probably would have said hey sir you see that there's a weird dude with the that was time square in the 80s yeah i was what i'm saying like you were you were still working then just different product you weren't dropping knowledge
Starting point is 00:37:19 I just feel like whenever they pick people to interview it's always the ones who are available or so uninformed that when they talk you're like wow like that's terrible but that doesn't excuse the politician who's coming out like Hakeem Jeffries that is the message
Starting point is 00:37:35 you want to send to the American people the reason why we're having a shutdown is because you rhymed a horrible version a horrible version a horrible version version of it's another thing I was it Leticia the one that's in trouble
Starting point is 00:37:51 who got busted for doing the crime that's tried to accuse President Trump she was at a speech where she started going huh and they're trying to get me huh and we're not going down huh and I was like who is teaching these speech classes? Maybe she has asthma no it's possible
Starting point is 00:38:06 but I'm just saying she was literally doing and we they got to come get us all that made me laugh like wait a minute nobody you think everyone's going to jail with you yeah I noticed the claps weren't that And that's nothing, too. Even when he was doing that, when you heard Akeem Go, and you're a performer, when you say something and you hear, you can point out who's clapping, that's not a good thing. You remember the old, please clap. Yes.
Starting point is 00:38:28 Help me out. It was like, you just stand up. You know how sad it would be if you did, like, one of those big, long, wordy closers. Took them through a long trip. Absolute silence. Hit the punchline, and you hear, and then you hear someone ordering a drink. Yeah. Yeah. That's basically what, but, you know, it's not, it blows my mind that these people, like, people vote for these individuals because when you hear them speak, that's the biggest thing for me. If, if a guy can't communicate his message. Yeah. You're wasting my time. You could get away with so much smoking mirrors if you're well spoken. Yes. You could lie to the people so smoothly. At least con me, you know, like give me something. Exactly. You know, and well, you know what, though, but speaking of con, but.
Starting point is 00:39:14 Mandami's kind of doing that. Oh, Malachala, Malachala. He's kind of, you know, he's putting some stuff out there. He wants free buses to combat assaults. Yeah, that always works. Yeah. That's like putting, you got the cut? I think it's one of the key reasons why we have to make buses free
Starting point is 00:39:31 is because it reduces the assaults on bus drivers. It creates a safer work environment. I had a hard time to drink my water. It creates a safe work environment when you give things away. for free. Yeah. Because free things always work out. When I think about free things and safety, I think about riots. Those are very safe when you just go into a Best Buy and take a bunch of televisions. Safe. People that ride the bus, paying for the bus is not the issue. It's the mental illness that's gotten you on the bus. It's the assault on the bus. Being stabbed on the bus,
Starting point is 00:40:09 being thrown in the subway. It's not the ticket. That's the problem. And by the way, I've seen some bus drivers in the Bronx that whoop butt. Have you seen the videos of bus drivers just beating the crap out of people? I took the bus to school when I was a kid. I never thought about trying my bus driver. No.
Starting point is 00:40:25 No one tried her. No. The last thing you want to do is get, hey, she was about a deuce, deuce in a quarter, about six, four. Had her little her done.
Starting point is 00:40:35 And when she was like, hey, quit talking. Nobody talked. Yeah. And I was the last kid that got dropped off on the bus. And I was always like, morning, ma'am.
Starting point is 00:40:43 yes ma'am and like every once in a while she would drop me off like right by my house she's like i'll drop you out baby but no one ever ever thought about i think we had one kid who said like i don't have to listen to you and she just pulled here's get out for my bus yeah here's a pink slip you didn't want that pink slip no that was back when parenting had consequences i remember that bring a pink slip home on the bus you get in your ass what you can't sit on the seat next mondami embraces weakness that's the whole thing about quote unquote democratic socialism it's about weak, give to me, I need. And you saw an example of it when he tried to press 135 and couldn't press 135. It wasn't even 135. Yeah. So you're talking, he had 35s. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:41:23 it was embarrassing. Yeah, two 35s. So we work out. That's 70 plus the barbell. That's 115. He should be able to, but here's the thing. He didn't even have the common sense to be like, hey, he had never benched a day in his life. Who doesn't bench? He doesn't have. He doesn't have to. He has the, there's silver spoons and there's gold spoons. He had a gold spoon in his mouth. He had never, when he did it, the guy spotting him, I was more upset about. Yeah. Because we have rules. If a guy comes in, when I trained at Hard Knock South, and I was there forever, and I still trained, if a guy, if you put him some heavy weights on there and the guy's like, oh, let me get it, let me hop in in a set. Yeah. And he get, get it up. I would let him sit
Starting point is 00:42:05 there for a while. Yeah. Not to the point where he's having a cardiac arrest because his chest is but long enough for the... Yeah, to realize you can't do this. You're out of your league. There's a pecking order there. This is how we spot. Jersey barbell where I go. Yeah, you get finger.
Starting point is 00:42:19 You get finger. You get finger. If we got to pull you, yep. You're going to go through it. Yeah. Because it's always, and the excuse is like, you struggling like that does more for you than just pulling it off you. No, it's just for me to look over at the guy like, why is this guy on this bench?
Starting point is 00:42:33 Just go over there. But then the thing, even him, even doing two fingers, those aren't the fingers I want to give him because I think one of the things he talked about was correct me guys if I'm wrong 50% if you make a million dollars a year he wants 50% is that true or something it was some crazy
Starting point is 00:42:54 it was like some crazy amount of tax ending and his example was if you're a millionaire or you're successful and we take more from you it's better for you because the environment you live in will be better they already have a better environment. Yeah, that's what money buys you.
Starting point is 00:43:12 Money is happiness coupons. Yes, or, you know, it's a lot of fake friends and a lot of, you know, more money, more problems. And there's nothing worse than making more money and having Mandani saying he wants half. Yeah. So he can open up free stores and pay for the stabbings on the buses. Yeah, because the violence will be on hand.
Starting point is 00:43:32 Did we ever find out? He wants to raise it 2% more. more, I think, over a million dollars, exceeding a million dollars, I think. Yeah, which is still a lot. It's a lot. I mean, it's up to, it'll be up to 12%. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:47 So that's, you know, and for those of us, and if you're making a good salary and you have a wife, that's basically your money is gone. Because everything else is going to her. And then, uh, let me, apparently, actually, I'm, I'm okay with this one. Like, whenever they try to bring stuff back, I'm like,
Starting point is 00:44:04 ah, it's over, let it go. I hate when they try to remake old movies especially from the 90s like when they wanted to do Roadhouse I actually was asked to audition for that and I was like I want no parts there's only one Roadhouse yes he had hairspray
Starting point is 00:44:18 yes he wore baby oil but he was Patrick Swayze and yes the bad guy said the most uncomfortable thing ever in a fight that I don't think I would have went forward with the fight when they were standing the thing and he told him that he had sex with guys
Starting point is 00:44:31 who looked like him in prison I'd have been like this fight's over bro that was weird I'm not fighting you No. No, like, no. Like, what is wrong with you? I thought we were going to fight. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:40 Good day, sir. Yeah, good day to you, sir. Hey, we'll be right back. This is Tyrus filling in for Will Kane on Will Kane Country. With the RBC Avion Visa, you can book any airline, any flight, any time. So start ticking off your travel list. Grand Canyon? Grand.
Starting point is 00:44:59 Great barrier reef? Great. Galapagos? Galapago. Switch? and get up to 55,000 avion points that never expire. Your idea of never missing out happens here. Conditions apply.
Starting point is 00:45:13 Visit rbc.com slash avion. So they want to bring back, I guess they're called Zoomers, and they want to bring back video stores and physical media. So they want to bring back all the stuff that we had in the 90s. Do we have a clip with that? No, they want to bring back Blockbuster and have the, physical movies and DVDs. So then you got to get the DVDs and the VCR, so they want to bring those back.
Starting point is 00:45:40 Exactly. All right. I mean, all of a sudden, Goodwill's business is going to go way up. That's where all the videos and DVDs and CDs, I don't think we got enough time with them. Like, they came and went pretty quick. Yeah, pretty quick. You know, but I don't. And then you got to store them.
Starting point is 00:45:59 I have one DVD at my house. It's the old SCTV, the whole season of everything. SCTV and when I was sick for a while I bought a tiny DVD but you got to get them on Amazon now they're like nine bucks yeah and then it was great I loved watching it and my only concern is like everything I need I can find on one of the streaming platforms right so why would you not to mention again at one point your DVD and CD collection said a lot about you yeah like you had to have the towers you know people walk in your house like wow this guy's got it together look at all those He's all the movies.
Starting point is 00:46:36 He's got all the music. And then you had the sixth disc player in your car, so you know, you could just hit shuffle. Or a 10 disc player. If you're really bawling. VHS collection was a big thing too. Yeah. And the worst thing with VH thing is someone lost your cover. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:50 Friendships were lost if you, if you lost my, if I lent you my WrestleMania 3 video and you didn't bring it back with the Hogan-Andre standoff. Yeah. Our friendship's done. There's a level of trust. Yeah. There's no way to store it once you lose the box. you buy it. Yeah. And that's not, you know, and that's not cheap. Well, I guess would they be expensive now? Like, what do you guys think the going price would be? I would say two bucks
Starting point is 00:47:12 per DVD. It's a novelty item. I feel like it's going to be more expensive. I guess devil's advocate. They brought albums back and that seems to be working. But there's less places to make vinyl though. That's why these days. All the shops closed. Yeah. So it's rare. Well, because I was on tour this week and we went to, uh, stopped at a cracker brawl because I'm an investor now. Good for you. Yeah, that's my thing. Whenever they try to cancel something, I invest in it. Yeah. So, because the stock drops for like that two weeks, I buy it all up.
Starting point is 00:47:41 When they was burning up Tesla's and all that shit, I was like, everything on Tesla stock. And it dropped down to like 220. Give me them all. Who's laughing now? Like, I'm, I told people at work. I was like, yo, gets Tesla stock. Made a joke about it on TV. And Greg and the whole staff are like, meh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:56 You know that stuff? It's up to like 450 bucks now. Wow. Crazy. Like, I was like, anytime I see any media try to cancel something, I'm buy stocking it. Just buy it up. Just because it's going to, it's going to bounce back. So, you know, like now I feel like it's weird. Except because they didn't correct. That's right. That's the difference. They try to, they try to fool us by just bringing in a comedian. And good for him, but they needed to correct. And the military commercials they try to do a little bit. No, no, no. You, you don't, you don't mess with a man's beer. And if you do, you
Starting point is 00:48:31 apologize the right way, you know, and they didn't, they didn't do that, I don't think. But you know what? I don't know. Would you do VCR? Would you do a VCR again? Would it have to be a classic movie? Yeah, something, a scarface. Something like that. Scarface on VHS, I would watch. Just so you could adjust the tracking. Yeah. Like the trio of Godfather movies. And then remember when the tape would break and you're just done. You're just done. What else would you bring back if you could besides movies, DVDs? Things that aren't around anymore oh um probably you know what i would i would bring uh kids playing outside back uh on the street i would bring back street ball when the street lights came on you go home you go home
Starting point is 00:49:14 but i would bring back you know playing baseball with a tennis ball on a stick and or i remember two-hand touch football the the cars the touchdown and this and the fights you would have where we're measuring the first down yeah because everyone's steps is different dude i heard vladimir guerrero but who was on fire against Seattle last night used to practice with a broomstick and a bottle cap every kid did now Mr. Miyagi stuff yeah well it was
Starting point is 00:49:40 no it was called broke yeah we can't afford a ball or a bat but kids would find a way yeah it was a lot cheaper to get your mom in California Kmart's were everywhere it was a lot cheaper to get a four dollar wiffle ball that
Starting point is 00:49:55 and bat that came together for like four bucks and then you would go outside with your friends and you would play like It's just, I would like to, I'd like to bring back just the art of pushing to be outside, more outside activities. I agree. What would you guys bring back? Ooh, I don't know. I, I, I like CDs.
Starting point is 00:50:13 I loved having a CD case where you had a ton of them. It was a status symbol, right? And you were flipping through your car while you're driving. Like, forget texting and driving. Yeah. Looking for a CD in driving is just as dangerous. Well, they have the, I remember, oh, man, one of the first trucks ever got. and I was like into speakers.
Starting point is 00:50:31 Yeah. And I had this thing where you put like 50 CDs in there and it would, it took up like the whole back of your truck. Yeah. And then you would just hit shuffle
Starting point is 00:50:39 and you could pick whatever. The problem was like it would only, it seemed like the same 10 always got the thing. So you'd be like this. Pushing, push and push trying to press people. It was the original Spotify algorithm.
Starting point is 00:50:50 But then again, my entire back of my truck was all speakers. Yeah. And California was just all base. Subwiffer. And what was the playlist? A lot of backstreet boys in sync.
Starting point is 00:50:57 No, I was a big Ice Cube guy. old ice cube was good um i still buy all this stuff when he can because when the nwa split happened i went with cube yeah so and every everybody else kind of went with nwa because they were the the sexier group but once you heard their albums without cube because you i look bad at now and i was like this dude doesn't get enough credit for the genius he was how are you that young and not signed i know because i remember the first time i was ever offered a contract I didn't even read it.
Starting point is 00:51:30 I was just excited to get a paycheck. Wow. Yeah, yeah, I'll figure the rest out. You know, because you just want the job. Because if you're afraid, if you say no, they're going to give it to somebody else. Yeah. So for him to be that young and be like, no, I ain't signing nothing. So he was never in NWA.
Starting point is 00:51:44 It was always NWA featuring Ice Cube. So it means he kept his publishing. He kept his music. And when he left, it all went with him. They couldn't get their hands on it. And to be that young and to make those kind of decisions, like that was, and he doesn't get enough credit as the lyricist. like he he did it his way and i think it's funny that when people do it their way they build their own production companies and they don't do the mainstream how they spend so much time trying
Starting point is 00:52:08 to shut them down yeah and it takes longer but it pays off in the long run yeah because uh whenever he has a new thing out it's always like he's got to do it himself you never see any of the big record companies ever want to like work with him or collaborate right because he's bad for business yeah same thing but like if you don't do your specials through netflix you know like you do your like i built my stuff from the ground up because nobody wanted me on because i was on fox yeah i was like fine i'll build my own thing now i have my tour is so successful and i do get asked to do comedy clubs and stuff i'm like no one you don't have a big enough room and two you don't pay enough yeah like i do mine with a two-man crew my wife books my stuff so i don't
Starting point is 00:52:45 need any of you yeah i keep all the money like so it's it's a nice thing when you bet on yourself but they do they do they do what about what about toys what toy would you bring back wrestling Dulls. Wrestling dolls. Absolutely. Which version? The old old ones, the old ones where the rubber ones where the ring was kind of
Starting point is 00:53:04 hard and the ropes were kind of real. Now see, I used that ring but I used G.I. Joe guys because they were posable. The problem with the wrestling figures back then is like, Hogan was cool because he was set for action. But like my favorite wrestler was Mr. Wonderful and he was stuck in the double pie. Can't wrestle
Starting point is 00:53:20 like that. No. But that's it. You can't keep pressing the guy the whole time. So any of the wrestlers that had Like Beefcake had his hands like Valentine and like my favorite guys were always like that and I was like, ah. What was Andre like just arms down? He was like he was in a fighting position. They knew better. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:37 They didn't want no smoke. Under take her dirty lady. Yeah. Well, we didn't have, Andre was a badass. Yeah. My son's grandfather, speaking of wrestling, I'll call you later, Trevor. The grandfather is was Haku. Wow.
Starting point is 00:53:54 It's Haku. And his, they were tag. team champions together and they traveled together up and down the road and and uh andre did not like he ruled with an iron fist like uh i i would hear some of the stories i felt so bad for big john stud and especially big john stud was not a small guy he six 10 and he would have to run for his life because they started telling him to call himself the giant yeah and it pissed Andre off there's only one giant you know so he would beat the hell out of him he didn't like the sheik either so he'd be like he he handled it he just get in the ring and just murder you yeah and then you would
Starting point is 00:54:29 be like my favorite match when they were a tag team um they decided to tell and haku that they had to drop the belts to the rockers Andre didn't want to drop the belt to the rockers yeah he said flies when he didn't like somebody he called you a fly you did not want to be a call fly by and uh he went out there and i googled it rockers versus the colossal connection uh for the tag team championship and Andre just destroyed him. He just was sitting. It was, it was, even as a child, I was like, man, I don't think the Rockers deserve that. Yeah. It was, it was bad. And when Haku's the nice guy, when King Haku's the nice guy, you know it's a problem. But he was, he doesn't get, I wish they would tell his story a little different. The documentary was really cool on him, but they didn't really
Starting point is 00:55:14 interview the people like he traveled with, like the people who like knew him dearly. How would he fly. You're not sitting in coach. Could he even fit in first class? He was fly for his class, but like, you know, he had to have an extender seatbelt. And his, it depended on guerrilla monsoon's mood that day, how tall he was. Some days he was seven foot four. Some days he was seven feet. I think, I think Big Show might have been a little taller. I'm not 100% sure. But I know back then everything was bigger than life and you didn't have the internet to check it. He clearly was a giant. But brute strength-wise, he never, he was one of the, like, strongest guys. He was one of the, like, strongest guys you ever and he would just casually walk around at 500 pounds that's hard to move
Starting point is 00:55:52 around yeah so uh i would like you know what i like them to bring back uh uh i like them to bring back to i like to see because they had the best like ships and stuff like i remember as a kid they were too expensive you can never get them but i'd like to say them to bring back that stuff i i still collect it that's one something me and my son do together legos came back though legos came back did they go away yeah you're right you're right i don't think they ever went away i think they went through some weird phases. They're popular now. They got more intricate, though. Yeah. Well, the problem is is, like, it became okay to be an adult
Starting point is 00:56:24 and play with Legos. Because for a while, it was like, you had to be in the Lego closet. If you have a Lego, if you have a Lego room as an adult, yeah. But it, but it, you had to have like, like, this is Mount Rushmore I built with my Lego. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, this is my Lego world with my cool Corvette. And I, you know, like, you had my Dinosaur. Yeah. Although, those are tough because you have to build them for your kids. I actually got the
Starting point is 00:56:44 death star for my son Rock. for Christmas. It's hard. That's the only thing I've ever, that's the only thing I've ever tapped out on. I absolutely tapped out on it. I was like, I was like,
Starting point is 00:56:57 it never ended. Yeah. It never, you never, like hey, look, let's just have it like this is the one like Luke blew up. Let's just have it that one,
Starting point is 00:57:05 right? Because it was, pieces of Lego, trailing out to the bathroom. They are not kind with those, because I'm, my job is always to put everything together. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:15 You know, and he'll lose pieces. Yeah. Well, not just that. but it's just you're looking at the directions and like sometimes I think it's just too intricate Lego was different when I was on you you got like just the big blocks just the big blocks they're all the same size it's gray it's like the worst color hits the carpet it's gone yep you know
Starting point is 00:57:33 or the dog comes in yeah where's all these pieces gone and then it just poops it out all of your house what I do hope goes away is slime yes slime is the worst it'll ruin your couch it'll ruin your rugs. It'll ruin your marriage. Your marriage. Yeah, I've been yelled at more times than, because I'm like, oh, let's make slime. This is fun. But I don't clean up well.
Starting point is 00:57:53 Yeah. That was the Nickelodeon generation, too. But that slime was different. Yeah, true. It fell on your head. It didn't. But I accidentally got it in my daughter's hair. Like, we were messing around.
Starting point is 00:58:03 I was in the bathroom, like, frantically with Johnson and Johnson trying to get out. We're okay, sweetheart. We got to cut it. Don't tell mom. Don't tell mom. And I didn't have to cut it because then her mom was like, the hell. and I was like, I couldn't blame her, but I didn't want to take the rap either. Sure.
Starting point is 00:58:18 So I was like, it was a freak accident. Some stranger came by and slimed her from Nickelodeon. Yeah, we're going to get that. We're going to get to the bottom of this. And my dad was like, no, daddy threw slime at me. And I was like, for real? Snitch. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:31 It's not, like I said, I don't want my kids to lie. But, you know, have dad's back. Just scotch. I'm not saying you got to create a whole story. My daughter's mostly just American girl dolls. And then I played those are still around? Yeah, there's a store like around the corner. We went through that, we went through that phase.
Starting point is 00:58:49 It didn't last long. LPS was my daughter's favorite, the little pets shop. Little Pony Princess. There's a little pet shop. It's like little different animals. And then what's cool is my daughter was in a Jurassic Park with me. So I would buy all the Jurassic Park stuff. And she's still 11 years old.
Starting point is 00:59:06 The jacuzzi is still full of mesosaurus and stuff. You don't want to go out there with her because you'll have her little girlfriends that she's playing with. they'll bring out their little dolls and stuff and then my daughter away from them, then, boom, I'm like, that's my girl. So I like the, I don't think any other old toys we need to bring back. I'm trying to think.
Starting point is 00:59:24 Transformers were too complicated back then. You couldn't play with them. Now they're automatic. Yeah, I saw those, but they're like $1,500. They're called something different. They swim against girls now. Yeah. We're going to let those ones go by the wayside.
Starting point is 00:59:38 I think we'll. I think we're done. I think we're done with those. Drive-in theaters Yeah Love a drive-in theater Back that Yeah I would go to the drive-in theater
Starting point is 00:59:49 Back that Old video games You can get those still Like a Sega Genesis or like I still play in 64 Do you really? I still play Golden I Oh yeah
Starting point is 00:59:58 I got a refurbished one It's great I that's the one thing My PlayStation Every time it evolved I went with it Yeah You know And now I'm
Starting point is 01:00:06 You know right after this I got an appointment with my son because we got, there's a new island up on Blitz, so we're going to go handle that business, get our crowns. But it's funny because women don't understand video games for men at all. Yeah. Like, it's, this is what keeps us from being gladiators. You know, like, we need competition without going out in the street.
Starting point is 01:00:29 I have a question. So I just got married last year. Oh, congratulations. But how do I, you know, set the precedent early in the marriage from video? You just lay down the gauntlet. Just do it? He's lying to you. you have to pick your spots.
Starting point is 01:00:41 Okay. You got to play games when she's busy. Got it. Because I'm telling you right now. I do. I hide. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:47 I go to the basement and I hide. He set you up for failure. I know. I hide. I tell you right now, you come home after a family meal. Aaron Bird's the reason I'm already divorced. And then you're like,
Starting point is 01:00:56 oh man, let me get this game out and play the new battle for it. Your wife is going to look at you. I literally pretend I'm doing laundry in the basement and then I'll come up with a basket. Yeah. Like you got a good thing is like, hey, it's a good night to go out with your girlfriends.
Starting point is 01:01:09 I'll just stay at the house, I'll watch the kids, and then you can get your four hours in. Oh, it's such a nice night. Or you stay home on the couch, play video games. Or, like, some of us, keep it in your office. Yeah. Good point. You know, they're like, hey, what's going on?
Starting point is 01:01:23 I'm researching. Yeah. With my buddy in Vietnam right now. We're trying to. I just say me and Will are doing a new segment on video games. I have to play. Sorry. Yeah, like, hey, but it's your office.
Starting point is 01:01:32 Yeah. That's where you're still the king. That's true. So, you know, if you don't have office here, there's so many, like, bro, feel free. Like, just, you'll plug it up there. get a few games in, it's better than you losing it. Why are you working so late?
Starting point is 01:01:43 Yeah, oh, man, you didn't believe this. Not cheating. What happens is if you keep playing the game in front of her, you will come home and your game will come up missing. Yeah. They'll take the joysticks. Yeah. A couple of my joysticks, I went to pick them up,
Starting point is 01:01:56 and I'm like, it feels like there's water. Oh. I don't know what happened. Yeah. And you can't, and they're wireless now. So it's not like Nintendo where you can just and then fix everything. No, no, no. Like the new stuff when it's wet, it's done.
Starting point is 01:02:09 yeah we'll see I don't know she's not a big fan of it or yeah I would say try to get her to play with you but I did try that
Starting point is 01:02:18 but then you end up yelling at her it's like golfing with your wife yeah you end up yelling at her like come on press B press B you're your boy like man just sit this you can't use a sniper there
Starting point is 01:02:29 it doesn't work like you know what forget it forget it wait did I do good no you just shot your teammate yeah yeah like watch my back don't run off
Starting point is 01:02:38 why you run off why you run off. I don't know how to do this. I'm like, oh man. Honey, that's not a grenade. We're playing fishing. Yeah, this is not my, this, yeah, it's not. But then again, they do things that you don't want to be a part of, like, argue with their fake friends on Facebook and tell each other they look pretty when they really don't think they do. Right. So, you know, it's a good change up. But you just got to, you got to pick, get your spots in. And make sure you have a big enough memory card to save it all. Because you're going to have to turn it off in a second. Do you have the thing that you can travel with the PlayStation?
Starting point is 01:03:09 I did. And then I had to give it up. Oh, okay. Because I was, you know, go to sleep. Yeah. In your games. So, because I got to get the eight hours in now. Once you turn 50, you got to get the air.
Starting point is 01:03:21 I'm not. I'm getting six. And speaking of eight hours, I hear the music. Well, well, hopefully you'll have a show to return to. And, uh, good music choice. Didn't expect that from him. You guys must have done it. Nice.
