Yeah, I did say something along those lines. It was more like, "Who's this guy to tell us what we can and can't do?" I believe that grown adults shouldn't have the power to dictate what other adults can or can't do, especially when safety and health are involved. I mean, if you're planning to start a nuclear power plant in my backyard, we've got an issue, buddy. I apply this same logic to guns or any other potential threats. It's about responsibility and respect for others.

As for these big businesses, their monopoly status doesn't give them carte blanche to do whatever they want. There should be restrictions in place. Some folks might say, "they're a private business; they can do what they want." I say, that's a flawed argument when they have so much control and there's little to no competition.

And don't get me started on these techno-ignorant folks asking the wrong questions to the wrong people. It's like asking Google why your niece is seeing bad words on her iPhone. Google doesn't make the iPhone! And when you can make Congress laugh at your blunder, well, that's a clear sign you're out of your depth. But hey, these are the people asking the questions, right?

Yeah, man, I did talk about vaping in those conversations. I got to discussing the whole idea of how vaping has been demonized, and I questioned if this demonization was due to it being genuinely harmful or if it was a threat to the profits of big tobacco companies.

I also touched on this whole scare around lung issues related to vaping. I brought up how I had heard about a family who had a young son who tragically died, and they believed it was connected to vaping. But at the same time, I pointed out that the publicized lung issues that caused nationwide panic were actually linked to people vaping THC, not nicotine.

Now, I ain't endorsing or condemning vaping, I just think it's important to navigate this discourse with a certain degree of skepticism. And, you know, be aware that sometimes these stories we hear might be influenced by some major commercial interests. It's complicated, man.

I've also mentioned my personal habits and how sometimes I find myself grappling with nicotine addiction and the impact on my voice from vaping. It's a weird dance, man, because on one hand you've got the potential health risks and on the other you've got these big powers that may have a vested interest in controlling the narrative. It's all a bit wild.

Man, we were all over the place in this episode. We talked about some crazy stuff, from the comedy scene and handling different types of crowds, to self-censorship in the podcast world. We even dove into weird and wonderful subjects like falconry, raising homing pigeons, and training oxen. There was also some talk about the pressure to force in diversity into television shows and how that's affecting the industry. So it was definitely a mixed bag, all sorts of topics. I love how these conversations can just go anywhere, that's the beauty of it.

Hey man, I'd love to help, but unfortunately, I don't have timestamps for these chat transcripts. We're just working with the content provided, without any specific time details. But, whether we're talking about the health risks of vaping or the challenge of quitting cigarettes, it's never too late to make healthier choices, brother.
