I didn't think it was that it was your feelings on things, which I feel like you're allowed to have and Boom you put it on YouTube and boom how many how many views it have now?
first one eight point eight million million eight point eight million You know what the odds of you getting eight point eight million on HBO are zero It's zero Unless you're on the fucking Game of Thrones premiere.
I was ready to do math in my head and everything I was thinking zero don't even think about zero.
It's never I mean maybe Gotta go back to like Sam kennison.
Maybe his got eight million, maybe Wow, yeah, I mean not that many people watch those shows, but YouTube is beautiful I mean they fuck you on a lot of different things they they they'll pull you for discussing legitimate medical studies Like this this guy got pulled.
Did you see that thing?
I tweeted it We start you got pulled off of YouTube.
They killed this whole channel for reading Lancet studies on psychiatric drugs Bro, it's crazy It's crazy.
They did a study on well.
It was on children and Psych medications it was on children, and I believe it was SSR eyes.
You know which was antidepressants Are they all they prescribing those two children now?
They've been prescribing them for children They've been doing it for a long time, but they do not like when people discuss the negative side effects on YouTube if you I would assume Advertising pressure that's the only thing that makes sense to me you can discuss Getting the belt getting whipped, but you can't discuss There's negative side effects of a drug no while You could yeah, you could openly discuss being abused as a child being beaten Yeah, so this gentleman What's his name Roger?
Mclillan doctor Roger Mclillan he was So this is what he said our YouTube channel was terminated in less than 24 hours No warnings explanations or strikes after we posted a video highlighting Published science black box warnings and known adverse reactions of antidepressants for youth Why do you think this was censored and then it's weird is that YouTube responded underneath it?
They they responded hey here to let here to help No, you YouTube channel URL.
We'll see what we can find.
Here's how to find it like no they kills whole channel He said you terminated my I don't like saying you it's probably a person right?
It's probably not that person.
It says you terminated my YouTube channel for posting published scientific literature It's for reasons like this that YouTube is losing the public trust Man, it's that dance of advertising, you know, that's the dance the dance of advertising and government control It's kind of spooky.
It's kind of spooky shit Well, I've been living in a neighborhood has been government control Regular regular nonsense not good Yeah, like we this is the reason why we don't trust anything like yeah Brown people like people we just don't Like soon as you say it like so Well, it's for good reason.
It's not like everything's going great and nobody trusts the government Like but a lot of people are pro government like government everything.
Well, I think they just sold a narrative You know, I think they get sold a narrative and they think anti-government is bad So that they're pro government and I've had some maddening discussions with intelligent people that I respect Where they're saying the government should regulate the internet Like what the fuck are you talking about the same people that are engaging and insider trading?
They should regulate the internet.
Are you out of your fucking mind?
No crazy that is It's like Nice to be the publisher of the Rolling Stone magazine man in the 60s in the 70s when Rolling Stone was the counterculture He was telling me that they should regulate the other we had the most maddening conversation I respect him so much and I love him so much for what he did in the past I think that was connected to you know, the internet kind of destroying magazine sales.
Mmm, it could be but it's also I Think it's an ideology man.
I think it's an ideology I think these people have in their head that good government with good people is good And they're just the problem is bad government and bad people.
We've never had been both the fucking last time Where you were a hundred percent satisfied with all the things the government was doing they were doing everything They said they were gonna do even if the president wants things done when they're running for office Those things never happened once they get in office.
It's a very white question Like we ever satisfied like never never well, maybe Kennedy, you know Kennedy gave people hope Seems like he was giving people hope But I mean that was before my time.
That was before your time.
He was killed four years before I was born did um, Do you like Carter?
Well The thing about Carter is if you listen to Carter talk and this is goes back to Rolling Stone magazine because Hunter S Thompson went to Jimmy Carter's campaign speech and He it was so moving to him that he actually went out to his car and got his tape recorder and brought it back in And started listening and recording it and I think I don't think any president Has the ability I mean, there's a reason why the government is set up the way it's set up It's set up so the president can never become a tyrant.
So the president can't make his own laws So they can't make that this is how the government is divided This is the concept behind the beginning of the country the beginning of the country.
I Think even if you're a good person You're in a bad job You're in a bad job with a bad machine and that machine wants to make money and if it's making money by selling people drugs Or it's making money by going to war.
It's making money by fucking finagling the economy in some Bizarre way anytime there's something to gain on the other end without public Knowledge is gonna be a problem.
Of course The slide of hand That's the game to read of it's pretend they don't do that I I felt like some things shouldn't be on the internet though, like so I'm like, hey I'm nobody regulating this shit Like a lot of things that people just like I don't know what a lot of people are like Have followers for like they think so far to the craziness is the same you like what that's true Like true, but what's the alternative?
The alternative is like here's the the best thing about those crazy people you and I can talk about those crazy people He's crazy bitches and then people can listen us talk about them and they go.
Yeah, these people are crazy I did I kind of thought the world was flat for a few minutes Yeah It's the people on it and I'm like say man Damn, what are you talking about?
Like well, it's you know, then it's other people that have some sense but so You got to be able to figure it out yourself The problem is most people don't think what and rightly so don't think that most people can figure it out by themselves Oh a large percentage of our population that's easily swayed.
That's why cults work Oh, you know, I and I always wonder like like like when people say they selling dope I'm like like for real like like this is pass a like with a coat is like I'd be thinking that it's been like What when?
Why would I join a coat when it's never been proven to be a good thing?
Like it's like show me all the the good successful coats I Do see one bad coat and I'm like, you know, I don't I want to go Well, if you want to expand that It's crazy religion religion is successful cults Because they someone's listen if if there is let's just imagine Just for the sake of this conversation that there is a religious scripture that is 100% Translated directly from God.
Well, if that's true If there's one that means all the other ones are wrong and all the other ones are cults No, see the thing is this people don't know what things tie in together Now you have some side stories some people who didn't just created some side things for their own benefit But it's like the Mormons.
It's like a long deputy of hey This is all the same line of things and it you know transients to the next to the next generation but then it's these things that Once the the prophecy stopped at some point and then it's like people can claim themselves to be prophets with none of the other Attachments like all the other profits got the same thing.
Someone spoke to the midnight and They have they have they have some power at that particular time It's like these people can just say hey, I'm a prophet.
Yeah, well who spoke to you?
I don't know is a is a voice come through the wall What is your power like who you who are the people that you supposed to have and it's no power is All you had to do is be charismatic but that's not that's not the in prophecy, that's not the Criteria it's like hey, I'm looking for somebody With this society is the job like hey, don't you think it's always been like that?
No, I think They didn't even want to do it like no, I didn't want to build on art he was doing something else See the thing about Noah in the ark though If you go back to that that story is very similar to a story that's in the epic of Gilgamesh And most likely what that story is about the great flood seems to very much be real Very much be real and there's a lot of physical evidence and there's a gentleman named Randall Carlson There's been on my pie.
Have you ever seen any of those episodes?
No, I've been on my podcast many times He's an expert in asteroid collisions and this this time in history Where after the this time there's all these stories of floods it aligns Directly with this thing called the younger dry us and the younger dries impact theory the younger dries at a time period around 11,000 800 years ago where they think the earth got hit by comments and they think civilization got basically wiped out and it makes sense Because it first all makes sense physically So sorry if people have heard this before I beat this fucking horse to death But there's a lot of evidence when they do core samples on the earth at that time period There's a high level of iridium which is very rare on earth But very common in space and there's also nano diamonds which which occur when there's an impact when something hits And this is all over the world I 100% believe in this but every time I hear nano diamonds You sell a jury They different but yes, I believe that the earth has been hit by comms we we in a space how can you not it's just Evidence is evidence.
There's tons of evidence.
There's tons of evidence.
There's a they found was it Greenland or Iceland that massive impact that they found The earth's been hit so many times man.
It wasn't just the Yucatan one that killed the dinosaurs It's been many many many many many many many many times It's been hit and in fact this comet shower that we go through every year 31 kilometer 19 mile wide meteorite crater discovered under a kilometer of Greenland ice Had a had long puzzled scientist the Hawatha crater was exceptionally well preserved despite glacier ice being incredibly effective at erosion That's interesting Damn that's big 19 miles is that what it said?
Yeah, there's a ton of those man.
They're all over the world.
There's a big one that's outside of Australia that they found Giant craters where it just it totally makes sense.
It totally makes sense So this guy along with this guy named Graham Hancock who's also been on the podcast many times a good friend of mine He has a documentary called ancient catastrophe Is that it?
It's not apocalypse right ancient apocalypse.
I always fuck those up ancient apocalypse that's on Netflix It's amazing and it's all talking about like these insane structures that people built in Africa in Asia all over the world in Turkey They is insane structures that are that pre-date modern civilization These are like five thousand years before we think Mesopotamia emerged Huge stone columns huge structures that they know for sure were 11,000 years old Yeah, the show's amazing.
It's an amazing show I think I watched it.
It's really good And it's you know He only goes he only touches the surface because there's so many of these all over the world and Egypt is the best example The best example of Egypt is a fantastic example because there's stuff that's under the sand that's even older than the massive stuff That's above the stand and the stuff under the sand that they find when they dig deeper.
It's a totally different style of building This is what the ex-clan used to rap about.
Mmm Yeah, yeah and poor righteous teachers that whole brand new being this is the you know the pyramids and building of the stones and Egypt the whole Egyptian culture Tim buck to the whole thing.
So yeah That's the wild shit the wild shit is that if it wasn't for those stones if everybody lived like we live today and glass houses and Shit, there'd be nothing left to be nothing Would you find a regular house made out of wooden glass?
What the fuck is gonna be there in 10,000 years zero?
Zero, there'd be nothing left.
You'd find nails.
Oh look a fine nail What would you find you'd find a few things but most of it would be consumed by the earth?
Yeah, most of it, but those guys they figured out they figured out something that no one they Bullshit that they could figure out how to do it today.
They don't know how to do that today What somebody just came up with the whole this building with wood But it was probably so like in Haiti they build with stone.
They still go with Jamaica They still build with with stone with the whole house made out of cement Most places do that has you know, they have hurricanes.
Yeah, they have hurricanes their houses have to be sturdy as fuck So I don't know what was going on in Egypt at that time when he was building like that.
I think they were Beyond advanced I think we are Graham Hancock has this amazing quote.
He said that human beings are a species with amnesia.
Oh Yes, for sure for sure.
Oh for sure and I think the way we've gone today Technologically with like phones and microphones and video cameras and shit like we've gone into an electronic technology I think they went into another technology that was different a different path But way more powerful they were able to move stones out of the mountains and move them 500 miles I don't have any fucking idea how they did it the Necessity, you know work figuring out things from necessity that but I think thousands of years of thinking I think you know When we think about the Industrial Revolution and we think about the way the world was just 2,000 years ago to now I think those people were recovering.
I think those people 2,000 years ago We're recovering from shit that happened thousands of years before that where people were just knocked back into barbarism Just survival of the fittest just wild shit because there was nothing left.
We live in a Mad Max apocalypse even worse Nuclear winter when when those things hit into the ground the massive floods come it also kicks up dust in the atmosphere Nothing grows people are probably cannibalizing each other.
It was probably horrific.
Sure.
Yeah, you ever read the book The ice age and inheritance.
No, this is this is what it talks about people How they went into the ice age and then they had to start Cannibalizing each other because it was nothing growing and all of these other things Like wow, that's that's which do you think we survived it now?
Like that's what I think you or me might be we might survive.
I know a lot of people are gonna eat There's some people can fucking keep it together and some people can't you know Yeah, it's gonna it's gonna be hard and it's not gonna be fun and life might not be worth living in comparison They're in comparison So that's the thing like if you were if you lived on the Great Plains in the 1800s and you were a Native American That was your whole life.
That's all you knew you knew how to hunt buffalo You do you know how to make teepees you know to live off the land?
That's how all you know if you took some fucking person from the east side of Manhattan Some person that works some cushy office job and he said Jerome This is your new life You're gonna live on the plains and you're gonna make your own arrows and you're gonna go Fucking run around and try to shoot him into Buffalo and there's no doctors.
So is this what making it afraid is about?
They getting ready for the apocalypse no, they're just exploiting dummies.
They're just having fun with people's dicks They're like exhale and they got like 13 people up Yeah meet up and form a tribe Yeah, they could do something like that people would go they would go evil real quick if there was competing tribes People would go evil real quick.
I think it's gonna if it if it jumps no, okay well during During Katrina It was survival of the fittest.
Yeah doing this flood in Houston it was survival of the fittest.
Yes It's been sometimes where yeah, boy have shown they colors.
Yes, you know in small pockets Yeah, like my own my friend.
He used to brag about having this maserati And when the flood happened his maserati was floating down the street And I was in my truck I'm like hey you want me to come pick you and your maserati up because you you in a bad position my boy In Texas you need a truck, you know, and it was survival.
He couldn't move nowhere.
So he needed help Yeah, when the the freeze came out here.
I was having a time of my life I loved it little snow everywhere and ice on the streets.
I have a 1995 Toyota Land Cruiser that I had built like as an apocalypse vehicle It's lifted.
It's got off-road tires It's got steel bumpers.
It's got a winch Yeah, yeah, so yeah you're having a big-ass gas tank huge gas I was having a great time because that cars meant for that It was like my golden retriever when he sees the snow when he sees the snow.
He's like whoa.
He rolls around in his back It's like he's having a party.
It's the best thing he's ever seen.
That's what it's like when my truck saw that snow My truck was like yeah Everybody else is like in Corvettes.
They're sliding into oncoming traffic That's what happens when you have one of the little low-built cars or sports car and you don't have a Off-road vehicle something that can really that sturdy that can move things Yeah, I have a truck in this.
Yeah, my truck is built for that If you only gonna have one vehicle in Texas a truck is way to go.
Oh, yeah Just in case just in case it's the sign of the most pampered society that people have cars that you can't even fit luggage in and They're just fast and they hit like it's a you have a race car, sir Why are you driving around town in a fucking race car?
Where are you going?
Nothing like getting out of a truck in a tuxedo With boots on Gather like man, it's crazy.
Well, man a truck is the way to go people don't want to think about things going sideways But they have all throughout history all throughout history.
There's been natural disasters There's been you know wars has been crazy shit all throughout history So why don't people want to think about this because we like to think about what's in front of us right now The the human mind is set up to take the human mind is set up essentially for survival, right?
It's it's and we have the exact same brains as people that live 10,000 years ago So the people who live 10,000 years ago if they in fact were hunter and gatherers and they probably were hunter and gatherers because The people before them were far more advanced and they were like rebooting society That's what I think but those people that life that they live was all about get some fucking food Find out what the dangers are around you right now in terms of your enemies and predators And get some fucking food and feed your family and try to stay alive.
That's all anybody wanted They just wanted to stay alive.
So we have that in our head and shit like climate change and UFOs It's like, huh, what am I gonna do with that shit?
Like what if what if ever the power goes off?
Yeah, but the power's on now shut the fuck up.
I gotta deal with now.
I gotta deal it right now We're designed for the now.
I don't think like that.
I Think long term your guys experience some very difficult moments in your life.
That's what it is You've experienced a lot of adversity.
Yeah, I guess that's that's the reason but I'm thinking always thinking long-term I always gotta you know, like I'm Jason Bourne like I want I Fast-forwarding cash.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm I'm not I Can't live for the now.
Oh, I used to do I used to be like that and that was that was Too fast.
Mmm very way too fast.
Well, that's a young man's game young man's game is the now, you know Talk to a 19 year old kid.
Yeah, it's a little fucking climate change I wish somebody would have told me in 19.
Hey listen climate change.
Yeah, maybe my tomatoes would be able to survive I think you know with having a healthy love for the elderly because I would you know prefer to be one one day You know, I would like to set things up for Those people that's doing it now for when I when I get there I don't want to wait and then get there to be struggling.
Well, I'm 65 and I don't know what's going on cuz comics most comics don't have a retirement plan Most comics don't even have a monthly plan.
Yeah Comics are the wildest fucking people I know Yeah, the wildest people I know they spent all their money That's very true that is very very very true You know I can't even think of all the comics because I'm up I'm a planner how many comments have come to me because they know I'm a planner and they just went out and just just Wow shit, like I'm just a man.
I'm living in LA now.
What I just saw you Tuesday Yeah, I know like who you live in.
I don't know I'm just They're talking about and then a month later a man I'm calling somebody else's phone Oh How we get it to you Amy gonna have to wire it to this and that like Some comics think that if they go to a spot things would be different you know My wife and I lived in Colorado once for a little while and we lived in a like a log house on the top of a My wife had this idea that when she got in that log house, she'd start making bread Joe you Wow, man The only thing that fucked me over was she got pregnant and when women are pregnant at very high altitude This is at eight thousand.
I think eight thousand eight hundred feet.
It's very high.
It's real rough on them real bad It's like the flu every day and we went back to LA and when we went back to LA for like a week or two She was fine.
And then we went back to Colorado kick right back in I was like Oh, no, and then I read that Colorado specifically Denver has a very high rate of Unusually high rate of premature births because they did the attribute to the high altitude is rough It's a rough on women.
So we had to get out of there.
It was for me.
It was just me by myself I'd still be up there.
I would have never started a podcast.
I still be up there living in the woods make I just be like sitting there chilling Because that's that's the life that I'm going to just being someone being able to form and Grow my own vegetable.
Yes go outside and have my own.
Yeah Goats and things of that nature.
Yeah, that's very satisfying.
There's something very satisfying just even about the idea that that's very satisfying not having to Be somewhere.
I think that's the I'm I'm gonna slow down in 2025.
I have a plan Knock out domino effect three and four and then kind of relax for a while because I Don't think people know this about comics.
You probably experienced it.
I'm my body Is on some type of clock where I have to be somewhere even when I don't Which is troublesome to me.
Mmm.
Like I've I've gotten up and and Packed all my things up and didn't realize that I was already where I'm supposed to be Because I'm my body is like, yo you my mind basically is you supposed to be somewhere So it takes me if I go on vacation.
It has to be for like two weeks because the first week It's it's crazy.
Like I'm my mind is set on this clock of yeah, you got a performance You got to be somewhere you got to do you get it and I don't I don't like that feeling I got out of that I got that took it took me a long time to get out of that But I got out of that where I can enjoy vacation.
I can just chill I got out of that where I could just sit in my backyard Sometimes just sit down have a have a cocktail and just relax.
I want to do just be able to just sit and Have nothing to do.
Yeah.
Yeah I think there's a there's real pleasure in that if you earn that and you definitely have earned that there's real pleasure in that but People like you and people like me that are constantly on the road and constantly working on this and working on that It's like you're you're on this momentum.
It's hard to hit the brakes going downhill Jesus fucking Christ like Flintstone brakes, you know, it's hard.
Yeah And you got to get to a place where you feel like I have a plan to get to a place well, okay, this is this is it for a while and then a Month because a month of not doing shows is It's horrible.
It's weird.
It's hard.
This is horrible You get addicted it took me a while to get it It's only about two months to get really get into the pandemic But once I got into it, I Didn't want to come out of it.
I was like, man.
I'm cool man.

So why'd you go back?
The addiction of being a performer I Can't addicted to killing to you know having to finish the story Yeah You know domino effect, you know was in my mind and domino effect who was in my mind So I was like man.
I gotta get back to to work.
I think they were tired of me They were like, hey, he's he's been here too long.
Maybe maybe I was feeling cool and they was like nah He needs to go work somewhere.
He's doing everything.

I remember what I knew the difference between being 13 and being 19 When is these my cousin got into a fight with these guys and this guy was thick He is his all this was like really he's a man And he pushed me in just in the stomach He just pushed me.
He wasn't even trying to fight me.
He was everybody get back and he pushed me and Knocked all the air.
I was like What's happening?
Like if he would have actually punched me like if he was trying to oh, yeah, he would wipe me out Yeah with body shots or something different.
That's a different shot Oh, yeah, people people think that a body shot don't look as pretty as a shot to the head but It's just as devastating if not worse Oh, yeah, like the Ryan Garcia one where Givante Davis caught him with that left hook to the body people were saying that he quit He never been hitting the liver Oscar de la hoya quit the same way with the same thing same body shot same And he tried to come and he tried to take a step out that corner and didn't not the front of his foot even moved He just went back.
He's like man.
This is it and if you get kicked to the body Oh my god, a kick to the body is so goddamn devastating Especially a spinning back kick you could literally pick someone up in the air.
It's like they get hit by a car Amy kick.

Yeah, that's you for for that's not that's what I'm saying I'm saying even though I was light like fairly light in comparison The the amount of power that you can generate with your legs and what your ribs are Me and my daughter doing this little art project and we're drawing zombie this zombie thing We're making this painting together and while we're doing this we took a photo From the internet of an actual rib cage so we could do it right and draw it correctly and I'm looking at it I'm like look at this fucking weird protection of all your Squishy organs that are underneath there.
I mean then you really think about it These little skinny ass bones are the only thing that's protecting your soft lungs and your liver Like this is me in the blue.
This is me when I was 19 I That dude was done he kicked in the body like that you just There's no volume on this But you get kicked in the body like that It's the worst feeling in the world everything shuts down you can't move you can't move everything just goes It's as electrocute electrocution goes through your body Electric power just the thump just the compression of your organs Just your whole body going in a shock your whole spinal column getting jolted your legs don't work anymore That's the problem your legs don't work.
Yes feel like they stop working.
It is just nothing You could tell them whatever the fuck you want.
They don't they're not listening You just you're trying to say shock waves from your brains your legs and then your legs like me If you don't get the fuck out of here, yeah I'm going down The most shocking to me was when I would get hit on the chin Because one time I got dropped I got hit on the chin with a left hook and my legs just like this They just shut off like it wasn't like I got hurt like oh my god.
I'm hurt.
I'm going down They just went shut off the legs just shut off and I was like Jesus Christ.
What the fuck was that?
They just stopped working.
It's like my whole system got short-circuited They They just go point what a stupid design But this just the jaw that the jaw is It's really the turning.
Yeah of the that's sometimes not though because sometimes a straight shot Just on the tip of the jaw is knocks people out is the whole compression of the head going back I think there's something else going on too specifically with the jaw Because you could spin someone's head around in other ways like on the cheek and it doesn't seem to have the same effect the jaw does Jaws, I think John nerves behind the jaw because it let me tell you Was that whatever's going on in the jaw?
I had a crown Put in and in that he the guy went too deep when he We did a root canal no what he tried to Numb me up to put it in so he damaged a nerve that's in the line of the jaw and It took like two months for that shit to heal And it was excruciating like it was excruciating nerves are rough Yeah, never take a long call.
It was excruciating Yeah It was like and then I had to still perform and I was doing meet and greets and I was having the smiles And this this crown here.
Oh So did it make your face paralyzed?
It was I was down my I had to get all type of massages back It was the line of my jaw they had to adjust it like maybe four times Because it was terrible.
It was terrible.
It was terrible.
A lot of people get that.

Yeah, it's a place guys.
It all food.
I got Cuba food.
I got Columbia foods out man Well, Houston patient was the best comedy scene in the world at one point time in the 80s I still think that Houston is the greatest comedy scene we put out a lot of great a lot of great comments We don't have the clubs anymore though.
Yeah, that's the thing.
Yeah improv is there a secret group is there?
These have the last stop they Last spot.
Yeah The last spot one under two.
Yeah both Really?
Do you remember spellbinders?
I heard about it.
I never went through yes, well, we had spellbinders and then improv bought out with the spellbinders here, so it's the improv and the Secret group and then I think they got a new comic called rise Mmm, then comedy lounge on the north side.
Yeah Well, the improv is a great club.
That's a great club.
I Did that was the first club I did coming back.
I did that in July I did one weekend and then I got real high and I got paranoid that I was gonna give people covid like my guests Cuz I'm so selfish and I want to do the road even though I was getting tested every day I was like what what if it slips?
What if I got it put false negative?
So I stopped but I had a great time there speaking of great clothes I stopped in last night at the mothership.
That's pretty wild, right?
Pretty nice.
That's a nice common club Yeah, very comic friendly.
Yeah And I built it specifically just for us I didn't build it like a business It's like if I was a my accountant I'd go crazy because I just the whole idea is I just want to break even I just want to build it and make it The most friendly place ever for comedians.
So the comedians make plenty of money.
Everybody's happy Place packed beautiful room.
That's a beautiful curtain in the thank you the waiter Like yeah, it's dope then the name fat fat man.
Hello boy.
Yeah You know what that's from But you know why no, I don't know why you did it because that's when the UFO started coming.
That's what you're supposed to come Yeah, it's part of UFO folklore That's why when you walk in the middle of the lobbies that giant UFO That's what that's for that that UFO is a replica of that and that is a replica of the the craft that Bob Lizzard The guy was a propulsion expert who was a whistleblower who worked at area s4 and area 51 in the Nevada desert back engineering alien spacecrafts Supposedly, but this is what he described and that's what we put in the the whole club the whole idea of the comedy mothership The whole idea is it's the club's themed on UFOs.
That's the whole idea behind it That's why is this that crazy?
Gateway over the over the stage.
It looks like a star port Yeah, when when that when they detonated the bombs in Hiroshima Nagasaki That's when UFO start coming and all the UFO activity ramped up substantially Because I think they realize we have nukes like these crazy motherfuckers whole cities with nukes These fucking assholes they had to come down and go whoa.
Whoa.
Whoa.
What are you doing, man?
What the fuck are you doing?
Who gave them no, you know, whatever.
Well, I think they realized we reached a level of technological Sophistication that we could kind of kill everybody on earth.
Oh, you think?
One of them went rogue and taught us.
I Don't think one of them went rogue and taught us because there's a very like if you go and look at the Manhattan Project and you go and look at the history of splitting the atom.
There's a very clear academic paper trail of how they Figured this out and all the trials that they did and what they did when they Detonated the Trinity bomb which by the way was one of the first times they ever discovered those now diamonds It's called then they called trinotite and it's it's like nuclear glass They call it as well and it's what happens when a massive impact hits sand and it turns it into this kind of glass Think that Because because when it come with the all the visits, yeah What a what were they visiting?
To do because I know you know, they out say like we we caught one or something like that Yeah, you know think if you did did you try to torture him and get stuff out of him?
What would be the thing but what were the visits if they wasn't teaching?
Something I believe in it.
I just don't know what they were visiting to do.
Well, the way I describe it is There's a great show on Netflix called chimp Empire and chimp Empire is all about these scientists that are embedded in this chimp tribe And they've been there for 30 years because these scientists have been there for 30 years the chimpanzees behave like there's no people there They they can get within 20 feet of these chimpanzees chimpanzees as long as they don't eat in front of them and as long as they never present any sort of danger raise their voices as Long as they just stay back the chimps don't pay attention to them at all They just go throughout their life And so these scientists are observing these chimpanzees and then the cinematographers captured all this I think the way we treat chimpanzees is probably and they let them kill each other They do wild shit to each other these chimps.
They engage in territorial warfare.
They fight over access to fruit.
I think They the aliens would treat us the same way I think they would observe us but not do anything and I think if we did something fucking dangerous like nuclear bombs Then they would go whoa.
Okay, because I think every if alien societies do exist An intelligent life is out there in the universe I think what happens is they keep getting more and more and more and more sophisticated and in the beginning they Engage in tribal warfare and as they become more and more sophisticated their technology becomes far too dangerous To keep doing that same shit and that's when they observe them because this is perilous tipping point where we could completely wipe out life on earth or We can evolve and get to the next stage of existence where we could coexist harmoniously In throughout the universe and join some fucking global You know some rather universal group of beings That's possible.
But the only way that's possible is if we don't nuke ourselves.
So with the chimpanzees They observe it the sciences are there they observe them.
Yeah, and they see him they don't pay attention see the problem with us That we scared if I we we see an alien.
I'm I'm not gonna not pay attention Like many black like they gotta look normal I believe that it's it's definitely other life on this definitely other civilizations is happening that we just not Ready for we I don't think we ready.
I'm not mine.
We gotta gotta be groomed Do you think that there's like all these UFO sightings the government talking about UFOs and these most recent this whistleblower that came out and said That there's a crash retrieval program and we have crashed vehicles and they've recovered alien bodies You believe in I believe but it's the old man like hell.
No, I'm not messing with it And because he not ready for For the difference that may he is some he ability just now got used to seeing black people Shit else right man, what else man?
You're like six eyes He's not ready he not ready man, I wonder if that's what they're doing by show by by these sightings I wonder if it's like a trickle effect like it was a little bit like with the Jetsons We still don't believe in the Jetsons and we like nobody So they were already pulling people up on on big screens talking to each other and shit on the Jetsons Yeah, and my mother was watching the Jetsons who thought?
That the just so when it happened You just you just went and got it I was $800 you just got excited about having it instead of what the fuck now you could this the Jetsons It's you in this time frame.
It has to be a groom.
It's like, okay Let's see how they act with ET.
Okay, they see me.
I love that movie.
Um Shit, let's throw out out there.
This then let's see if they ready for a furry one is Hey, maybe the Muppets maybe the mother's big-ass bird Just roll around a talking snuffling.
It's them.
It's them then we go we advance up to um What was that the man from Mars and then the great gazoo and then now we up to Men and black and and this shit is alright, you know, cuz it's you know you the man It's a trickle it's I've got to keep feeding it to him and then all of a sudden You just see some Somebody just come down the spaceship at McDonald's.
I'm like, hey, what's up?
Y'all y'all good Oh, let me get to big banks and then we love you as earth food and then You like and then you thought I mean you saw that.
Yeah, I saw that shit that week is then Now you get a cut you got to get accustomed to it what year was the Jetson supposed to be I just looked It's made 1962 and let me get Hundred years in the future.
Okay, so 2062 Wow, and here's some of the stuff they had they had flying cars They'll never get the never goes robotic dogs Our big people drunk flying hell no They had robotic vacuums video calls tablet computers robotic house help dead tablets.
Yes He worked for spraceless pockets flying cars smartwatches dead smartwatches drones holograms 3d printed food.
Oh, yeah, that's right They had a pill cam We swallow it it sees your body.
Oh, look at George, you know, that's going up his ass Jetpacks yeah The jet packs they have now it's that one dude that's got wings on his jetpack and that they've caught him like flying around buildings and shit Like he you can I don't think they last long I think you only stay up there for a few minutes but You can fucking fly till you run out of gas What is this one was ten years ago, what's the most recent what can they do now?
I've seen that guy.
I think in my to buy jet wingsuit.
Yes That's it, that's it That is fucking wild the jet wing Is there a video these guys using this I figured there would be on their website You definitely gonna have on a fireproof pajamas.
Look at that.
Look at this motherfucker.
Oh, yeah, look at this flying around buildings Like what are the odds of those things failing?
I mean, that's not like a Toyota Corolla those things aren't reliable That's a fucking emerging technology you gonna be risky a life flying over highways Hell no But if that happens in the future the problem is people are just gonna be doing it just like you see people on the highway Riding wheelies just flying down the highway is wild shit.
Wow shit.
They're gonna be doing that in the air slamming into houses That's why they not gonna give you flying cars I'm really not messing with this car.
This just get in and just let the car drive for you.
I'm not I'm not trusting it like that Yeah, I don't trust it.
I have it.
I don't trust it.
You have it.
Yeah, I have a Tesla These are just get in and just I can and just and say hey take me to Enter in your address that you want to go to press auto navigate.
Yeah, and it take out Red lights You're supposed to keep your hand on the wheel though, you supposed to keep your hand on the wheel Yeah, just in case man.
I'll be saying people Layback, you know, like I can't do it.
So that's a driverless taxi.
I've seen him around Austin I just I've seen him too.
Not do they just drive real slow?
Man, I'm not I'm not checking for a fam.
I'm not I'm not doing it Yeah, that's the future no looking at that we're saying I think people don't realize that they get they trying to get rid of you Yeah with this like like I don't do self-checkout because it doesn't make sense to me Like why am I helping them get you out of here?
And I know I want to talk to a person if something go wrong I don't do self-checkout and plus I don't come nowhere to work.
I just got off work Why would I come here to work?
Well, you're from a different generation and the generation of kids that are coming up today How many of them uber they don't even have cars a lot of people uber now they just take lifts Okay.
Okay.
What?
Okay.
So this generation uber then the next generation uber who knows how to drive the car in the third generation Well, then you're gonna be having these things There's gonna be a generation whether it's our grandchildren or their grandchildren that never drives that no one drives their own car Everybody has an automated vehicle.
That's like that's like writing they take right Kids don't learn in school how to write learn cursive and they don't learn curse.
That's crazy to me.
Yeah, that's insane.
That's insane It's insane.
They're all just typing on their phones and type it on the computer.
That don't mean get rid of Writing that that's crazy Like they took the clock out of the school because it could people have digital junk But you still want them to be able to tell time, you know, like the America is not the world Like, you know, you're gonna probably go somewhere else in the world and you gonna have to write something like that's crazy And you see a clock you know, what the fuck is that?
They're used to digital and then when you used to get offended when people said stupid the Americans now you like I understand Why wouldn't we mean?
Great country's crazy, man.
Well, I think there's some Americans that they go abroad.
They just act like fucking assholes You know, they think they're allowed to another country Yeah, I think everybody else.
No, I think locked up abroad has changed that whole ideology Yeah, locked up abroad has changed.
Oh, oh you I go anyway and do whatever I want to do Like you know you seen the show locked up abroad.
No, why'd you come up?
So yeah, why's good episodes and then go over to Yugoslavia and see It's and then when people get taken Yeah Like now I don't go anywhere and don't check in with the embassy Like I need I need to know I need somebody know I'm at so when you go to a country to work you check in with the embassy, I'm Need to know where y'all at Yeah, I need to know because I'm not going somewhere don't know what an embassy is and I was Jason born You guys at least you can run to the embassy and safe at least in that but If I go to Dallas, I live in Houston I go to Dallas I'm checking in with embassy I'm not I'm just not I'm just not rocking with um Being in this world without my know my whereabouts, you know, I'm a grown man I just I'm gonna say something so I'm gonna roll over here I I need that I need a witness or an alibi.
I need something.
I just I Don't believe in being the world by yourself.
I just don't that's a good move If the world is definitely not America either Yeah, that's the thing.
It's not like look what happened to Brittany Griner That would not happen in America Russians come to America and they do all kind of like Russians fight in the UFC almost every weekend And no one cares no one gets mad at them No one no one screams at them.
No one throws things at them.
They go out there people cheer when they win There's a ton of Russian fighters that are in the UFC You know, you know some I've been a friend of mine was talking another comic George II and We was talking say man.
This is this country is crazy that We remember with Floyd May well default Manny Pacquiao.
Yes in the same country where they I'm talking holding up the flag and The United States all the way the senator we was talking is it man?
He said the first is the first time he was at a fight What a white fight party and this lady said I hope he kicks the shit out of Floyd.
He said What he said I'm if you couldn't find one Filipino in the world that was going for Floyd Maybe not one but you can find a bunch of Americans somebody who was born and raised right in Michigan You can find a bunch of America who is wanting the Filipino to beat him.
That's true.
That's a very good point Filipinos are very proud very People they love Manny Pacquiao.
Yes My son my son is a very gentle soul and Manny Pacquiao was one of the ones I showed him because he I Don't know it to be a boxer My 12 year old he doesn't really want to Beat you up like I like but I saw you gonna have to hit people But then you know, I'm just I don't I said, let me show you one of the most gentle people in the world What until he gets in there?
Mike Tyson, I'm like look these are gentle people and then they get in the ring and another button Happens.
That's how you gonna have to be Yeah Did you see the Mayweather Gotti thing yesterday?
No, I didn't so John Gotti the mob His okay to the bra.
Yeah, so what happened was this is the end of the fight But if you could see if you could find what caused it because there's a there's a video that shows the end of the fight And in the end of the fight what happened was if you just Google just tweet like put Mayweather Pacquiao in Twitter But you'll find it Excuse me Mayweather Gotti He was holding so he wouldn't stop those boxing him up yeah, so Floyd is just piecing him up so Floyd You know, I mean even at 46 he's the greatest of all time and this kid is really an MMA fighter He's a tough guy.
He caught Floyd a couple times some little shots, but most of the time mostly he's just getting boxed up, right?
Boxed up by literally the greatest boxer of all time But he was holding on quite a bit and wouldn't let go and was trying to like hold and clinch and hit Which is something like right here, which is something you can do in MMA so he's protecting himself from Floyd, but he's not letting go and So Kenny Bayless gets tired of him not listening and not letting go and he pushes him off and he says that's it I'm stopping this fight That's it.
You won't listen to me.
I am calling this fight So he goes crazy and gets away from Kenny Bayless and just starts wailing punches at Floyd Look at Floyd catches him on a counter right there bang Yeah, knocked him way over.
Yeah.
Well the other guy got the blue But you know, I mean it became a melee and so then there's fights in the ring and then there's fights outside the ring There's all this cell phone footage of footage of people brawling and sucker punch each other Crazy this this sometimes be there Yeah, here's the brawls outside of this random brawl just people just screaming and yelling each other but at the end of the day just You know, he was just getting frustrated before he was just boxing him up, which is what he does That's what you you came into his sport.
Yeah Got into his arena you crawled into the snake hole and then I'm mad the snake by you Yeah, you can't buy me like that.
Like you in my hole.
Yeah, I don't know why he didn't listen why he didn't let go I don't know if they were talking shit to each other.
I don't know what was going on But Kenny, so that's it.
That's a wrap and then everybody went crazy.
That's crazy including him Pretty didn't expect that probably thought mate.
They've taken any well, there's no points right because it's an exhibition So that's what's what's interesting is Floyd's making more money than anybody and he's boxing people have no chance of beating them And he's doing it as an exhibition.
It doesn't even hurt his record because of the drug Yeah, boxing.
There's also money just like the but I don't think he needs me.
He'll need me to spend so much money Yeah, yeah, but he don't need any for sure.
Yeah, good I bet he's if he's planned for the future You got to keep it coming in if you're gonna keep spending the way he spends Yeah I think he has a lot of other business interests that he can get money from Hopefully and not just boxing But it's the it's the drug of getting Floyd still trains when he even when he doesn't have a fight He posted this a week ago of all of the Air Force ones he buys He only wears them once and then gives them away to someone one fresh pair a day.
Come on, man.
He needs that money That money has to keep coming in if you're gonna live like this not that expensive though, but it's only 46 But he does this with everything man.
He's got a million dollar watches.
I don't think he buys every every pair Yeah, cuz then you get a video like that, right?
That's smart.
Then you get Floyd's Air Force ones giving away for charity.
That's a tax write-off Yeah, you got a good point but those million dollar watches they're not giving you those they they still you know Worth whatever they were like you've got eight of them.
Yeah Diamonds that's ridiculous That's millions of dollars worth of diamonds.
I mean that is that's bonkers.
That's crazy Yeah, he's like this Like that that watch right there is not like I wouldn't wear it cuz it's not my Thing.
Yeah, even if you know I had I wouldn't wear it.
It's just not Attractive to me.
No, I'm not into bling down watches either.
I like mechanical watches like a metal Yeah, that's what I like, but you know, I get it Yeah Metal rattle.
Yeah, they work Like dive watches.
Yeah That's why well a watch that you can dive in well I wear them so you set a timer like I want to do so I spin that little bezel I can set it for 15 20 minutes I was looked down.
I know how much time's passed.
It's very convenient to have a little tiny watch very It's great when someone's going on stage.
You look how long has he been up for you cuz sometimes you forget you're in the green room I just look at my watch.
Oh, yeah, I don't have to remember what time you went on stage.
Okay, well, I'll say 907 so Time's it now.
I don't have to do that Soon someone goes on stage No, no, it's perfect Perfect dive watch literally is designed for comedians.
It's great Someone's going on stage.
They're doing 15 minutes.
You can go outside Hang out smoke a joint go he's at 7, you know And that's the perfect thing people don't understand and that's the other things that we get away from Using your brain because you know, take the clock down Insane well, that's the least of what's insane about schools today The biggest the biggest insanity is that it's not a cherished position to teach people It's not a position where you have the most qualified the best people possible and they get paid really well because they have an incredible job They're educating the young children and that education can literally form the path that you go on for the rest of your life Your experiences that you have in schools with good teachers They can shape and form you in a way that changes your whole life They can expose you to ideas that you never heard before and changes the way you think about things changes the path of your life It can do all of that was it things or Okay, let's go to this point first New Zealand New Zealand has the best school system as teachers who get paid and They also have the best teachers because they have people who want to be teachers I think that if it's not a position in this in this country Where it's made attractive where people can One survive and actually have the weather what they really want to be teachers I think that sometimes we have a lot of people like I grew up boom If the kids of the day of the day had my teachers, I think everything would be cool Because they had I had teachers that inspired Thought and creativity and and one and they wanted to be teachers Like that's the biggest thing when you have People who want to do their job or do their oh, it's more like a passion to them Like every teacher I ever known that was great What you used to tell me that this is a lover this is a labor of love like I love teaching I'm a I'm a teacher.
Just what I was designed to do.
I'm not Waiting to do anything else and if you have teachers that will walk out for more money You should also walk out for a better curriculum as well if your desire is to teach children and to inspire the youth to be And I and I credit teachers for everything that I that I am, you know, my mom's a teacher so it's like I'm My friends are teachers my sisters in Thailand right now teaching English.
It's like I come from that and I always loved my science teacher was my coach Too he wasn't just the coach.
He was the man one year was the math teacher one year was a history teacher, you know, it was people who desired and wanted to Nourish children and the pay Definitely has to be increased but you have to increase the things of the quality of what you paying for But don't you think that that's how you do it if you want to get better teachers the better curriculum Don't you think you incentivize them with more money so you would get more motivated people?
I think you do both at the same time that you change the criteria You change the pay and you create and you change the criteria what it is to be a teacher agreed.
Yeah at the same time Yeah, I agree and and then you you put these kids in a in a system To where it's everything is nourishing even down to the food you take all these cafeteria workers out and you push chefs back there you put some people and you teach them and and give them time to Dodge it just change the whole system They should have an hour to eat and they should get a four course meal and they should be taught things while they eating They should be in a very clean environment that you have but I used to love that the custodian When I was growing up, he always wanted to he took pride in keeping the school clean It wasn't a job that look was looked down upon because he did everything He was the maintenance man and the and the custodian and he said like a man.
I got this bathroom Clean here the y'all gonna stop pissing all over the day.
That's why he's toxic.
We're in the fourth grade Hey stop pissing all on the damn thing and they like yes, sir You know and he taught you hygiene in the bathroom Like you I think that you should change like I see all these these things where they changing how they house prisoners I Get that But change how you teach children so where you don't have to house prisoners, yeah That's the goal you you you doing the shit backwards, right?
And and I don't I don't I don't get that part of it That's where I get worried and that's why I worry that you know, I I don't know how many times I talked about it on this podcast but it came up recently because there was a man named Bruce Bryan and he He did 29 years for a crime that he didn't do and my friend Josh Dubin Who used to be he used to work with the the Innocence Project now?
He does his own thing and he releases he gets prisoners released.
He's an attorney civil rights attorney He goes these places finds these people We've talked about it so much if they really wanted to fix it What they would do is they would figure out the areas that have the most crime and dump a shitload of money in it And it's shitload of time and effort and try to figure out how to mitigate all these problems in these places and you're gonna have less people they go to those places and Until they do that they don't care and then you got these fears of things like the prison guard unions that literally Lobbied to keep marijuana drug laws so that people keep going to jail so they'll have more people in their jails So they don't lose jobs, which is crazy.
That's crazy to think of something as innocuous as Marijuana and you got prison guard unions who are actively trying to keep the laws in place.
So they're employed So you got a private prison system so you got a prison system where you can make money which is terrifying So it's like this Then talk about this for years glad you're talking about a glad other people start talking about it.
So How do you boost up our economy when in a small town?
So you got in Texas you have a lot of small towns And there's a place called LA, Texas So if you decide a hondu, Texas, so what you do is you put a prison in hondu Which you employ the towns people of hondu because they go through your you they go through your system of training Don't have to have law enforcement.
You just train them and how to run your system So you get some people that come from San Antonio?
In saying gets people Rondo and then you boost the economy of hondu Then you do that in multiple towns That's why the prison system is going constantly do that because you're trying to boost the economy around You're thinking what it's it's maybe 200 prisons.
Yeah in Texas.
Is it really that many?
Yeah It with that in private facilities where you have What they call transit units which is all of this stuff of being domino effect three because I'm I'm gonna go through the first three years and then the last three years and Show people how this system You know, you know Populates itself.
It's an industry.
Yeah, it's definitely industry That's what what Bruce is explaining that the town in upstate New York where the prison he was in was located and Everyone relied on the prison the people that generational people that had their families had worked as prison guards you know how dangerous is so You get into it with a a guard on first shift On the first year if you get into it with a guard on first year So you get into it with officer Smith on first year second shift officers miss mother and officer Smith's brother work on the second shift Officer Smith's father works on the third shift then he's a captain Do you know how much you know how Treacher's this becomes because now Something that happened on first shift which is over because he's gone But it's been told to his brother and his mother So now you got a problem on second shift now and you have a problem on third shift So with a high-ranking person that's in a system that has no police outside of the Warden or the captain that's over them that's on another shift That's related to them that live in the same town with them or that's married into them or that's neighbors with them and then you Who you how do you get contact?
You got to write somebody who you write and they review every letter In the people that's in the mail room how you even know your letter even got out when his niece is working in the mail room So you don't know nobody knows that you even got beaten thrown in in solitary confinement They could kill you and make up something because everybody Is relying on the same thing you can't close the prison now Over one person getting killed to be the fuck ten people getting killed.
Okay, it happens in prison That's what that's what people think that happens in prison No, it don't But when you put people in a small town in a prison where everybody's related everybody knows each other.
This is what happens To people so it's not just a you not inside With one danger you inside with a lot of dangers Like most of the time people don't think that they get get killed every day Or die every day.
They didn't joke.
They ain't your first thought but in this place This is the thought now you can be killed by I can be killed by the white I can be killed by the Mexicans.
I can be killed by somebody black They don't like me this from a different side of town.
I could be killed by the officers That's a lot of mental strain on you Every day if you don't learn how to navigate this But that's that's the system that you live in when you especially you if they build in prisons in a small town where everybody is There's nobody to oversee this that has some other Invested interests like if you was from another place and you like I just want my prison to be ran, right?
And if I get any of these complaints, so if something happens on this you can regulate that but it when it's all the same Oh, man, you went you went trouble In trouble and then you make people work for 16 cents a day where you get 16 cent at now That's 16.
No.
No, what did Bruce Bryant say?
No zero dollars in zero dollars in Texas Yeah, you see I know about other places why I'm saying they may get that in other places, but in Texas is zero dollars What was it in in Sinks thing?
They said $16 a day.
That's what he said, right?
something insane Texas is zero That's crazy You work it and you work and you make you make things and they sell them you make things you sell them They sell them for sure and you make and you and you do you clear fields and you grow crops and you do all And some of that stuff that you you you eat what you grow You're saying so it's been a this has been a place.
This place is like no other Place like it's different and most people are unaware of this and they are and they are unaware because Texas is very close closed lip About how they operate they don't like on their show lockup.
You just seen every other Prison every other prison system open they doors up to hey come and see how we do things not Texas Not one time Texas like man.
Y'all better get out of here And they can and they in a Kansas own place like if if the People that come from other places and they get into like in Houston There's a lot of people that's coming from other places that Doing crime and then they understanding that once the law enforcement system in Houston is different and is big and they crawl in a cross talk it's not like you can't be in our County and not in Missouri in Missouri City and sugarland and Harris County and Bel Air police all these people they ain't the constables and the sheriffs like all these people coincide with each other It's not like one system.
So when you Get caught they put you in Harris County system and It's not no cakewalk and you gonna learn you gonna learn fast that it's not like oh They don't slap you on your wrist like other places No, you can make you can get a life sentence in Houston easy.
Yeah, I'm easy Do do something do something out of pocket Like he was doing somewhere.
Oh, you're gonna you're gonna you gonna just carjack.
All right, that's it That's a capital offense.
You had a weapon while you was carjacking.
Okay capital what that start with 35 It's whatever it is.
It's gonna be 35 years and up so get get that wrapped around your mind Oh, yeah.
Oh you oh you watched him come out the bank.
Are you premeditated robbing?
Okay, sure got got your own video too and you had a weapon.
Oh, yeah, another capital like damn like soon He man you get here with so many charges and then they find out you got a weapon.
Yeah, I'm in like this This is what I wanted you.
Yeah Capital they they ready throw capital on everything because they need more People to put in these jails to but you carries out.
I'm scary.
Texas is like this.
I Only had to go once and it's nothing ever in my life that I do to ever get back to that position Nothing nothing like I hold caught in the street before before something like that happens Look, I'm not in favor of carjacking or armed robbery Not in any stretch of the imagination But until we address why this is all happening Yeah Until you address why some people have zero need to rob people and some people that's the only way they can get by Or the way they've learned to get by and it's been in their their neighborhood for so they've been dealing with gang violence and drug dealing and chaos all their life, so I asked you this Being formally from this position Have I not seen anything else?
like ever See sometimes sometimes I can rationalize when people say I don't know anything else You have a smartphone How did you find out about smartphones?
Because they didn't come to the hood and drop a bunch of smartphones in the hood So how did you find out about it?
What you was watching what you was that?
Okay, so you were somewhere.
Okay cool Were they doing what you were doing what you doing right now at that place?
They like what a Well, you when you found out about a smartphone where they gang banging at the place or what a shooting and robbing people and cutting up dope like what movie Haven't you seen?
That shows you the results of this what person Haven't you heard speak like even when I was even when I was doing wrong.
I had a sensibility of I Heard public enemy while I was doing wrong Like I I heard run DMC.
I heard other things that had positive stuff while I was still doing wrong and I I Can't say it's all I know because now I Wouldn't have never thought about a smartphone if I was in the street Because I would be in the street So it's not all you know But it is what you're accustomed to if you grow up in a terrible neighborhood I don't I don't even think if you don't have good role models of the people around you I mean you tell me it's I'm this is what I'm this is what I'm saying.
I think that I It's a lot of parts to this that but when It's also like when raising kids Like I like my oldest daughter.
I used to tell to her mom Don't say this in front of her because then you give her that option as an excuse Yeah, something she probably never would have even thought of using But when I give her the option to use it That's the thing like With me I'm very transparent about man.
I didn't have to be in the street so that though my mom had a job My desire for what I accepted outside of what my mother was saying to me Because nobody's mother is saying to them get out in the street in gangbang and create ruckus nobody So when does that voice become less important to you than whatever you're seeing in the street because Nobody in my community now one black mother I ever even known in my life Said today child.
This is the only way for you to go and get it is to rob pill it still kill cell dope Not one person I've never heard that story while I was in while I was in prison from nobody And when people would tell me man, it's all I know how in the hell is that all that you know?
It's impossible for that to be all that you know because you were doing something before you were doing that I See what you're saying I see what you're saying you're a person that takes extreme responsibility though You're also a grown man And you're also a man with a fully formed brain and you're your frontal lobe as a kid as a kid as a kid You knew this well you were wise as a kid.
I wasn't I wasn't with man Joe man Well me we was out in the street doing stuff.
We knew that it was wrong That's why we was trying to hide it from my parents.
I wasn't I wasn't trying to have my basketball um Championship for my mother of course I wasn't trying to hide when I was working and earn something from working.
I wasn't trying to hide that from her I knew exactly what I was doing because of the how we were going about doing it and all of us knew that we were wrong and The consequences what was what was ridiculous was we thinking that it's a we just go in and get a slap on the wrist not understanding What you got to go through to even get that slap on the wrist Because when you once you got to get arrested first And when you go to when you go to the county jail the county jail is not a place This is full of grown men and they don't care nothing about you being 17 They don't care about you being 18 Can about you being 19 because you didn't whatever you were doing in the street you didn't care So why we care about what you got going on in here and we're gonna put you in the worst position So maybe you can say that you don't want to be in this position Maybe the people who love you will come get you out of this position Like my mother did the first time My mother bonded me out of first the first time I should have learned then I Should learn Dean this lady has a job and I'm making it harder for her.
I'm putting my mother in the hole $2,000 I got a $20,000 bond.
How old me then?
I'm 16 I Am saying yeah, and I have no reason Because I want a goddamn L of UNLV jacket Well, you know that now, but what did you think when you were 16?
You know what when happened what happened was how I even get in this situation I'm in the car with some people that's really petty They Really petty and I know these people petty cuz they they robbing people and I'm not no robber I'm a hustler and I know better than be with somebody that's a robber Because it's two different.
It's two different categories.
I don't think I'm hustling for whatever.
I want you're taking something from somebody You're a thief And I'm in the car and he snatched his lady purse and I don't say nothing.
I'm in the car There's some camera in the parking lot.
Everybody is going to call we go in there.
I'm not gonna snitch on you But I didn't take no purse And I told my mom I ain't take that lady purse But did you did you get some Jordans from the credit card and somebody use I'm with them But I ain't take nothing from that lady I told him and that's stupid And Boom now I'm on probation Then hey I'm working at the grocery store and But I still got bread.
I still got bread and debt from my hustling So I'm trying to I'm in a position and I'm trying to figure out how to give my mother this $2,000 back Put some dumb shit that I didn't do and I'm not supposed to be with nobody even like this And See nowadays people got this this weird loyalty to people who they don't even fucking know That's the crazy you gotta you got loyalty to somebody who you don't know that I even got as much to lose as you I Only hang I only really hang with me and they got things to lose like me So you make better decisions?
Yeah, hey, man.
I'm not a man you you got in the you man what What are you responsible for?
So who are you responsible for?
That means a lot to me as a character of your person.
Oh, I'm just out for self.
Oh, no Okay, I ain't gonna be you ain't got nobody just be responsible for you just yourself no You know like nobody you'll take care your mama your father Like no great.
I'm nobody you got nobody to in your life.
There's hell no like Like man if my agent Joe Joe don't have no kids, but he still love his family like he got My role manager Drake he take care his parents got kids when he take care his parents He got somebody else.
He can't be in the streets wilding if they got he got two grown-ass Who he got look after I'm sad at his dog died it because I ain't he ain't been home Lately cuz his dog ain't at the house like I'm gonna get him a new dog or something He got to be responsible or something Cuz they responsible for me They responsible for different aspects of what go on in my life So you got to care and love something because you know that I care and love Something yeah, so you want the best for me because you want the best for yourself.
Yeah the wildest dudes I know they have no response It gets real weird when they get in their 40s Like it's weird real weird Do you know how weird is to have somebody this that's 45 years old 50 years old coming to your house for your kids birthday party?
And you come in a was that If you don't get your grown unresponsive That's a part of Yo, man, at least bring you up bring your mom or somebody man bring somebody else that love you man like We have people in our family that don't have any They don't have any other family, but they've been around a long time They've been around before I even had kids like if you want to have a successful Civilization you have to have families.
I'd have family you would never have a successful civilization of all single men with no responsibility that moved to a spot and I'm throwing this shit a pair so fast Although that shit would be over.
Yeah, that's not gonna work It's nice.
I mean they've always said that but that's that's like something that Emperors have they've written this down You know that you have to you have to have families people have to have family That's how you can control them as well.
I saw they stay controlled and how you can control them Well, I would prefer not to look at my family as some form of No, no, no, it's not that way.
It's it's also you you know, did it Pell said it best He said having children didn't just increase my love and increase my capacity for love.
Yeah, it's a beautiful quote I think it's perfectly described because that's exactly what happens changes who you are as a person When you're responsible for young people, it just fundamentally changes Yeah, you think on a different level when you responsible for young people and when I am at my best I'm the most charitable to everyone because I think of people as Babies like this is a baby that grew up to be this dude on him in front of now I think even if they're annoying me I try real hard to just imagine what the fuck they went through to get to be this person right now This is not fun.
It's not fun to be annoying.
It's not fun to be them You know, it's that what you're talking to a moron that's saying stupid shit and they're annoying It's not fun to be them where no one's impressed with you No one's interested in what you have to say you're fucking spitting in people's faces and you're drunk and stupid That's terrible.
You don't want to be that guy.
That's terrible, but I tried to always imagine Yeah happens all the time.
I've had some doozies.
They always want to tell you about their business There's one to tell you how good their business is doing with Jesus Christ.
I don't even know you man.
This is crazy talk Give me the fuck out of here And then when you're talking to someone and they want to get the fuck out of there and you know They did they want to get the fuck out of there then you feel insecure and you try to be More entertaining or nice get try to turn them around and they're like That's not fun for them that poor little baby that poor little baby grew up to become an annoying 45 year old dude 45 with these poor little baby poor little babies are goofy socially awkward, dude It was just annoying and they say weird stuff Yeah, they do the problem is you used to talk to comics.
That's part of the problem You used I'm so used to talking to comics.
It's so fun So my favorite people to talk to so when I talk to people the story suck You got great stories.
You're a master storyteller You tell a fucking story if you're at a party and you're telling a story people gonna listen.
It's gonna be interesting It's gonna be funny shit Some people suck at stories and there's nothing worse when you've heard a real good story To go back to listen to a sucky story That's that's true.
That's true.
That that is true.
Are you like so because and I know because I'm like what is the story teller when people Try to talk to me.
They try to tell me stories and I and I'll be kind of rushing it like and uh-huh It's like Like all this part is this could be interesting But this you are losing me and all of this part right reason for no reason man speed it up Like you got there in two words and then I say so so what?
No, after that happened what happened?
And man when I went back and then I don't like when people repeat The first part of the man I heard you the first time because this is how I listen to people story.
I Just listen like I'm not yeah Then go ahead and yeah, no, I'm just yeah, man.
Did you know I said yes because I am actively Listening.
I'm not listening to respond.
I'm just I'm locked in actually locked in and Or you not saying that I'm a remember all the points that I want to say When you're done because you you may cover Something that I'm thinking right so I don't want to interrupt you in the course of it I'm just listening and then oh I can mark that off because he just said why that happened.
That was okay podcasting Okay, and okay, so all that happened right okay cool so going back That's what I do cuz I don't know how to actively listen yeah, there's a mighty story I'd love doing Tony and I do that all the time with comedians Where we're like this whole thing you don't need that part that whole part is just wasted time You know that whole setup part everyone knows what that means just say this And that's what killed Tony is right?
Yeah, and I'm supposed to be doing that you doing tonight.
Yeah It's gonna be great.
I did it a Saturday night I did the big one that they did the 10th anniversary anniversary.

That's the first that's the first one we the second one we trying to get you know 10 million 16 million yeah, you're gonna have you're gonna have to change to bigger venues Yeah, it's gonna happen so fast.
You're gonna be in arenas You're gonna be an arenas a hundred percent when you do an arena do it in the round in the round Yeah, you know why believe it or not.
It's actually more intimate.
It seems weird, but when it's a stage It's a big tall-ass stage and you're looking down on people and they're all in front of you It's weird.
It's like you got to almost project to like bring them into you like come on Well, I know there's a lot of us, but we're all just hanging out You know but when it's in the round Everybody on this side is looking at everybody on this side and everybody in this side is looking at everybody in this side everybody sees everybody laughing and everybody's laughing at everybody and The sound is insane and you just walk around and you get used to it You just walk around and talk and while you're walking around you do your jokes and there's giant screens everywhere So people could always see your facial expressions It's intimate.
You know what's the thing that?
I in this business Just wanting to be a good comic just wanting to develop that skill Then getting to this point.
Well, we even talking about 2024 we going we going to theaters like we and we taking some big swings and some big places You know in Chicago and in New York and you doing Chicago theater.
We hoping that's a great fucking venue You know and then in the in the course of trying to shoot Domino effect 3 & 4 in September trying to find a venue for that The thought of doing arenas and getting to that getting to that point And people say man, are you you've been doing something 25 years.
Are you tired?
I get bored Like you don't get bored with the elevation of Doing things on a bigger a bigger scale like Doing all these shows that sold out and adding shows and when you walk out and people coming to see you but now Doing arenas or doing a theater when people coming to the theater to actually see somebody tell stories I'm not coming to see you do no tick tock clips or Cuz that's not I'm not coming to see you do crowd work.
I'm coming in With the whole mindset of he's about to do an hour and 30 minutes of Compelling Stories and this is what I came for to get that type of Locked in this on an audience.
I'm Once I cheated I think I'm I'm gonna be very very happy.
You're gonna you're gonna slide right into that.
It's no different.
It's no different than clubs It's no different.
The only thing that's different is the environment, but the experience of doing is the same thing.
It's just Killing it's the same thing.
It's just just the challenge what makes it interesting for me 30 plus years in whatever my I'm like 34 something 35 years in something crazy The challenge is jokes.
It's new jokes new bits getting better You always get better you figure out a way to tighten it figure out a way to do this one better Every new bit is a new living thing that you're feeding and growing and trying to make it the most palatable and the most exciting and the sneakiest and the funniest and the most outrageous get the biggest laughs with it like What's the finest way to say this and?
Every day you fuck with it a little more and every day you're adding to it and every day you're putting a new piece here A new piece there.
I love it.
I don't have to do it.
I do it just cuz I love it.
Yeah.
Yeah That's why I open up the club.
That's why I tour.
I'm supposed to be coming to the club I'm excited when you hear I don't know the date, but I assume you're gonna love it You're gonna love it's like the end of July thing It's a fucking great place man.
It's set up just for us It's set up just for us everything about it everything about it from the way you move around the club Where you don't have to go through the crowd to go from room to room to the way the green room set up I'm the balconies.
So you can watch the show this black curtain is Beautiful right beautiful, you know, we had to change it It was a blue curtain at first But then we put on the monitors like it really looked really nice the guy the the architect who did it Richard Weiss is amazing and he did a fan.
He did the whole building amazing amazing job But he wanted to make it pretty right so you had a beautiful hardwood like light hardwood floors and a blue screen A blue curtain rather and we were watching on the screen and you know, I'm fucking with everything right in the beginning Especially we need a light here and a light there.
We need timers underneath the monitor So everybody knows how much time you're doing and so, you know how much the time the guy's on stage How long he's been up and also we want a light for each room So when you're in the the little room, it's a green star in the green room So when he gets the light you see the light so there's a green star lights up in the green room And if it's in the big room, it's a blue star So it was all this tweaking shit we did and we're watching on the monitor Mike that floor's gotta go it's got to be black carpet black carpet and a Dark like sparkly black curtain just like in the little boy.
There's a smaller room.
So we put that in there now, it's Yeah, now I don't want to fuck with anything now.
I'm like, I look from the balcony.
Yes It's amazing Hey, I can't wait to come in this right on 6th Street Yeah, Austin is all lit up in the front.
It looks and everybody's so hyped up.
They're so hyped up It's it's odd so that because we were talking about doing it for two years Yeah, I had actually bought another building and I had I had to get out of the deal There was like some shit wrong with it and I got out of the deal and so it took a whole extra year To like get this other place and then once I got the place I had to you want some coffee You know, it's amazing is that when you you have friends that they say something like yeah bought another building I know it sounds stupid Yeah, so I had a whole other building and then I had to get out and I had to sell that building and they're like who buy buildings It's normal for me now, I know it sounds fucked up it is I'm just being honest so The building that I bought was owned by a cult Get out of town.
Yeah, I didn't know the extent of it until I was already in the deal Told her he signed the contract.
My friend Adam called me up.
He goes.
Hey, man, you watch the documentary on this cult Adam Adam, you get our talent coordinator.
I Go.
No, he goes.
Oh, it's bad.
You should watch it.
He was it's fucking crazy.
It's called.
Holy hell Yeah That's about this dude His name is Jaime Gomez and he was a gay porn star and a hypnotist and he started a club or start a cult rather in West Hollywood, he was teaching people yoga and he got a bunch of young disciples They believed that he was a guru and he was God energy and he convinced him He ran this game for like 10 fucking years.
Maybe he was hit with that.
He was a hundred percent That's how that's how he got in trouble That's they all started talking because one guy left the cult when he left the cult He sent a mass email saying hey, man, this guy's been hypnotized me fucking me for the past 10 years This and then they all started talking about it And they all started sharing the email and they all started sharing their stories with them they had all kind of kept it under wraps and this guy was doing this and He escaped LA because they were after him was right around the time when Waco went down and the cult awareness Network was like going after cults and so they escaped he changes his name again.
His name was Jaime Gomez He changed his name to Michelle and then he changed it again to Andreas that's when he moved to Austin and he built this place called the One World Theatre.
This is the place I bought So all these poor lost kids they built this place for him.
They were his disciples They didn't have contractors that the cult members built the place On the hip in the toes on well, I don't think that was under hypnosis But what he would do is he'd give them therapy every week.
He charged them money charge him 50 bucks for therapy and then he fuck him This guy you should watch the document the documentary is wild because the hail Yeah, cuz like we were talking about cults in the beginning Here's the thing in the beginning it was working the beginning it looked like fun because I think in the beginning he was young and hot He's a beautiful man, especially when he was young and he had this crazy body six-pack That's when he's getting older, but when he was young he was when he was a gay porn star He was a beautiful man, and I think he probably got plenty of dick already He didn't have to fuck his disciples and he just had these people that were like washing his feet and he was teaching him yoga and Telling them that they're all God energy and everyone's God and I'm God and he even got so far with the hypnosis that he convinced These people that he could give them the enlightenment.
He could give the good touch them I think it was he called it the knowing and it would be like this big thing You had to earn the knowing but when he gave it to these people just the power of suggestion these people like Like they were having these like ecstatic Psychedelic experiences like they encountered God and it lasted for days These are people talking about this after they left the cult after they knew he was a con man After they knew that he'd just been hypnotizing people and fucking them and he was just full of shit and getting plastic surgery And all kinds of wild shit Even though they had gone through all that they still went back and talked about When he would do that to them early in their life and that they really did like experience God They was on show.
I don't think they were I think is the power of suggestion because I've seen it at have you ever seen a comedy hypnotist Yes, they can do some wild shit to people.
That's a comedy hypnotist in front of an audience Yeah, if you're a real hypnotist like this guy was and didn't nobody know it Yeah doing and you you're you're trained in hypnotherapy you you you know how to Get people to think if you've learned how to get people to think that there's this thing that you have and you can give it I mean you hold it over their head for a long fucking time until you actually do give it to them And when you do give it to them, they believe it wholeheartedly.
So they actually experience it Because your brain can produce all kinds of wild chemicals your brain can produce legitimate psychedelic chemicals like full-on tripping chemicals Yeah, so if this guy can convince you that that's happening your brain probably does dump all those chemicals out because you think it's actually happening That's crazy crazy.
So he's kind of telling the truth, which is the most fucked up thing He's kind of giving you this experience and it is a real experience But the whole thing goes off the rails Eventually, yes, they actually fly him to Hawaii to get rid of them.
Damn.
They can't get rid of this guy Hey, why he can't be arrested for the nonsense that he doing see the thing is if you're gonna arrest him Like those people are there because they're willing to be there.
They want to be there They believe in him 20 people went with him to Hawaii But if when the cult broke up a bunch of them flew to Hawaii with them We started a whole new cult over there And he's old by then now he's old and he looks like shit when he was young and he was like this beautiful guy It was convincing everybody you are love.
We all love And they're like, yeah, we don't have to go to regular work.
We grow our own food.
Yeah, this one I'm believing I don't believe in coats things like that and I'm not like I believe they happen I just don't believe the person who's saying it just like I don't believe in Anybody who's trying to tell me how to get rich quick.
Yeah, cuz like why would you tell me?
Like you're not that damn gracious.
We like oh, I'm a billionaire.
I want to make you a billionaire too.
Come on, man Rich quick scheme that they don't want you to know about That's always what it is.
They don't want you to know man in any type of any type of group thing like something comes around all at once and everybody's doing it if Anytime I see some a regular ass person doing something like you know, man, you can you can invest in this me get them Out of here man, Joe regular ass out of here I'm not and you have to for me to believe in you and something you definitely have to look a certain type of way I'm just I'm just not Imprett Even if you even if you look homeless, it's still a way to look rich at the same time Bert Christ and showed me that I Did Bert's podcast and he came to my I was in Tampa He came in my room with like no shirt on flip-flops Nail he didn't even have on shoes and in his toenails was painted and he come with all this equipment And he walks in my room the first thing he said can I use your restroom?
I said, yeah, it's right there and then he comes out of restroom Wiping his hands and I leave no disrespect where you raised by a single mother I said Yeah, why?
Cuz your room is amazing I've been in my room for four hours.
I've been squatting for two months And he does he does we do the podcast and then he's walking out and I'm thinking because he don't have on shoes No shirt.
He's clearly in his nice Toyota Camry right here And I'm walking towards his camera and I look back and he's like, is that your rental car?
I'm like, no, I was walking about thought this is your car.
He's in this huge like pearl beans It's a beautiful car this is a beautiful beans and he's putting the Podcast equipment in the back and he just like smash the door like okay See you later drives off with no shoes on like that is a rich ass homeless Yeah, Bert is Bert Birds leaning more into being Bert now that is money Like you think he was like more conservative when he didn't have money.
He looked like he was more wealthy When he had no money, you know, he looked respectable looked normal Now if you're not looking at his watch you look at him like who the fuck is this dude What the fuck Yeah, the machine yeah Bert I called bird up once he was on a motorcycle in Vietnam I Called him up.
I was in the comedy store in the the back green room area and I was about to go on stage soon.
It just felt like calling him out of nowhere and he answers the phone I go, where are you?
He goes?
I'm on a motorcycle in Vietnam.
This is amazing And I go, what are you doing you there for your travel channel show?
He goes?
Yeah, I go dude You gotta quit that show.
I go you're too funny.
You're too good.
You're a funny comedian You should be making money doing stand-up comedy not doing that show, man I know it's a velvet prison.
You gotta quit that fucking show.
I would love to do a travel show.
Oh It's too many too many months.
He was gone for that three four months at a time when his kids were young Yeah, it's like not good.
It's it's also it's like It was limiting him.
It was a great opportunity initially, but then it was limiting him Mike Burke you could with just podcast and stand-up comedy You're gonna be fucking huge like you don't need to be saddled into this organization Because they're also gonna they're gonna be upset if you talk about certain things Travel channel is a very conservative channel at one point in time I don't know how they are now like but I know Anthony Bourdain had a problem with them as well of a similar similar situation It's like Bert you you fucking bent against yourself if I find a great producer.
I'm probably gonna do a podcast You should do a podcast.
It's just you don't need a great producer man I need a producer because me coming in and setting up camera I could so don't do it on camera at first Nobody can do all this just do it audio at first do it audio at first real simple Get an audio recorder get one of those little fucking what are those roads?
What are those things called?
What are those things called Jamie?
Yeah, there's a bunch of Up now they have like pre-made podcast setups that you can buy That's how popular podcasts are you don't need any bullshit you have a mic like this these are shores These are the my favorite ones.
We've been using these forever You put it on a fucking stand it plugs into that thing you press record and you do a podcast You got an audio file you upload it to iTunes.
It's free and then boom.
It's up there You let everybody know it's up there people start downloading it at least What is the percentage of the amount of people that just listen to us?
What would you say it is I?
Think it's over half still yeah, it's a majority still just listen most people just listen So that's this and this is you know a giant podcast when you first start out people like to listen to podcasts when they're driving They like to listen to podcasts at the gym when they're going on vacation on a plane six hours easy Just chill out you got a couple of podcasts before you know what six hours is gone.
Just do that And then it's easy.
It's easy.
You're already great at it.
You're great right here You're great at it.
Just do it.
Yeah, Sam.
That's my yeah, my next thing do a hundred percent Do me a little podcast before you know it it'll be huge my friend Cameron Haines He was just here the other day same thing.
I talked him into doing it forever I'm like you're great.
You could be great at this and then you don't have a boss now.
He's killing it Yeah, same thing with Bert and all those guys Tom Segura.
I talked him into doing it I talked Ari into doing it.
I talked all those guys into doing podcast You have a great success working Yeah, I know I know when someone can do it Yeah, yeah, so that's that's my thing and putting these specials out best Other Mitch of it.
That's another the way you're doing it is Podcast style in a way because you're doing it yourself now and doing it yourself and putting it up on YouTube is the way to Do it rather than going through some big corporation?
Some Netflix or HBO or whatever it is Like you're almost betting against yourself at this point because the numbers that you get when you put it up where everybody can get it Anytime they want and then someone can say oh my god Have you seen this and then they could share it and they send it to you.
Oh my god This dude's hilarious and they sent it to you and then people just start sharing it.
They share it on social media They share it in text messages Boom boom boom.
Yeah, you don't need anybody anymore and podcasts just add to it It just adds to it and it's easy.
It's fun.
It's fun to do have a friend come over have a drink I have a smoke a joint start talking shit laughing your ass off That's basically that's basically what it is that's what it is having a having a great time Yeah, it's it's um, it's amazing.
It's amazing the amount of Power in sitting up talking It's it's amazing.
Well, I think one of the things that's happening to people When they're stuck in an office all day or stuck working all day is they're not getting to have long conversations about things They really think about and if you are in a situation Where you can listen to people have those conversations?
It's the next best thing and sometimes you can listen to those people have conversations with people that you're never gonna get to meet You know, oh, that's then yeah, that's it.
That's the thing You know, I think that It's a if you have great guests or you have great Opinions or great thoughts that you can podcast some people's some people ask you to do they podcast you like man Who the hell?
Yeah, what the hell are y'all even over there talking about everybody, but it's you yeah That's let's say about a lot of it, but that's most things Most things that I like are not for everybody, you know, that's comedy Yeah, I remember I the the only time I've ever not wanted somebody to be good Ever was that the comedy the comedy stopped the left the left stop in Houston in Houston That was the only time I ever wanted somebody not to be good.
Why is that I was I Came there you had to get on the list When I started you had to come in get on the open mic nights.
Yeah, so I'm there and it's Monday and I Sign up and I was like 26 on the list like man 26 people and the guy in front of me Was like yeah, man.

Why is it so dramatic?
It was like this is pro wrestling.
This is like There's there was some weird moments and there was a there was a boxing match.
I remember this one.
There was some I believe it was in Remember the guy who had a bunch of weird surgery he had like muscle implants and He he boxed this guy and it was so clear that the guy took a dive It was like the worst acting of all time Who is the guy that the ball head big white guy that Tyson fought when he got out of prison?
Oh, he wasn't bald Peter McNeely Peter Peter McNeely was the white guy.
Oh, you mean Franz Bofa or Andrew Gallata Was it Andrew Gallata you talking about the Polish guy?
He had on some American shorts So he had on some shorts with some color on him I can't remember not that got it had on the green if it's Peter McNeely Peter McNeely is the guy fought right out of jail That's when Tyson a six-pack.

What a wild world we live in man.
What a wild world Wait until people could change gender with like gene therapy wait till they could do that People gonna be bouncing back and forth How many times you've been a woman well I was a woman for two years I didn't like it went back to being a man and Decided to be a really big man for a while, but my joints hurt so that I became a little man See what it's like to get picked on then I went to backbeat being a woman Yeah, I mean we're gonna be able to like bounce back and forth.
I think so I think not not us, but I think future generations I think they're gonna be able to manipulate biology and some very like Like flexible way.
I really do Yeah, they're already fucking around with it with gene splicing with humans and animals They're doing Wild shit, and this is what we know they're doing yeah, who knows what they're doing in other countries where we don't have Fucking eyes on the lab you know because This is why I believe in Bigfoot I Don't think is Bigfoot is some science project they got out that It's crazy and they know it they know it exists.
They know it's on the on the level.
They know it's just crazy I think Bigfoot used to exist.
I think it's an absolutely you definitely do one I don't think so you don't think it's a new one out there No, it's some grizzly bear sheep That's you know why you know why I really don't think it because the people that I know That are like real hunters that go deep deep deep into the backcountry for weeks at a time Real dudes dudes are in Alaska guys are in the mountains of Montana Guys are in the Pacific Northwest in the rain forests up there those dudes never say shit They never seen shit everybody just sees bears you see bears And I think if you're a person it's not around wildlife a lot you see a bear walking on two legs in the deep forest Especially if it's dark out you think you saw fucking Bigfoot For sure, but at one point in time.
It was a real thing.
Yeah, it's called you know that the whole story Yes, I knew the real ass Bigfoot.
Yeah, so gigantic.
I guess this is the thing with these scientific experiments Do you remember it was a while back?
I think we talked about it, or I talked about it somewhere where these um orangutans got out of a nuclear Lab in San Antonio a biometrical lab in San Antonio you can look this shit up now It's no telling What they did to them orangutans while they were in there, but they were smart enough to get the fuck out So it's nowhere did they go they were just they were just out loose did they catch them I think so what imagine one got away.
Just just hide now They don't even know it what they came in contact with So it was a was a it was a biomedical lab, but they do I didn't know they do experiments on chimpanzees That's that fucking way.
It's like I got I almost have like I have a lot of sympathy Towards any animal brilliant abones escape from Texas by a lab using their captors own barrels.
Yeah baboons Using just a 55 gallon barrel the three baboons liberated themselves that confines the biomedical research facility this weekend For about a half an hour before they were captured and returned to incarceration incarceration is a fucked up word They never did anything wrong That's fucked baboons are freaky.
They're different in orangutans baboons freak me out They use the because they got like almost like a wolf mouth.
You know it's like a monkey with a wolf mouth But on Saturday one baboon learned to put a barrel upright and use it to get to the top of the wall Then the three other baboons Monkey saw and monkey did and so they just hopped over and the four baboons scaled the wall But one returned on its own volition inch.
That's a bitch.
That's why he told on everybody Remaining three were apprehended by members of the animal care and animal capture team which wore protective suits and masks San Antonio news outlet KSAT reported that witnesses were concerned that the baboons were carrying infectious disease a news release from TBR I stated the baboons weren't infected.
What does that mean?
Infected with what what are you doing over there?
What the fuck are you doing over there?
You know, that's the the premise of the movie 28 days later And when I when the story happened I Said maybe I don't realize at the end of the world.
I was just that that's the start of every Zombie apocalypse movie.
I've never heard of well, you know, it's fucked up There is a real zombie virus that everyone is aware of that's it's called rabies Yes, rabies rabies is a zombie virus for animals I mean, they're not dead, but they might as well be they're trying to get to you and bite you They're trying to literally that their brain is hijacked.
They're so aggressive They're trying to bite you to infect you with the rabies So the rabies has convinced these animals The baboons hop offense the reefers are serious.
They're chasing after the battles.
Hey, bro.
Get back here How what if that baboon just turned around and just fuck them up that dude does not look like he's wearing a suit He looks regular.
Yeah, those are just guys on the street.
There's just kids these kids are out of their fucking mind Bro, these kids are getting close.
Oh my god.
These are just dorks Where is this it was in wherever it happened and outside of San Antonio.
Oh my god That's Texas people very close to here wild dorks chasing after a baboon.
Don't will Like fuck you clearly people who have never seen a possum She knows to see them in the fucking a baboon is is way vicious but a possum Oh my god Covid masks on they're not even the good Covid masks on the globe.
Those are the ones that those gloves I gotta do jack shit.
What are you gonna do with those gloves?
What the fuck are you gonna do unless that thing just is used to people handling it?
What good luck good luck.
You can't even pick up a feral cat You're gonna try picking up a feral cat How the fuck do you think you can handle a 50-pound baboon bitch?
There's a fan That's way more than 50 play they they bought 80 pounds the big males How much is a normal baboon way like I would say they're like 50 60 pounds cuz mark mark They look to me like a Belgian Malmoss my my cane call.
So is a big doll.
That's a big dog though That's what you got 120 pound dog 140 140 pounds If that was that big Regency Mastiff, he was 140 pounds In how he's lost like seven pounds That okay 88 pounds for a big one Wow Wow.
Oh my god.
What is this one?
Oh, it's a specific kind that gets that big There's a psychologist named Robert Sapolsky, he's a psychologist, right?
Is that what his profession is?
who studied baboons and a Fascinating thing happened with this troop of baboons They were dominated by the alpha males and the alpha males always got first access to the food Neuro endocrinology researcher and author professor biology The alpha males always had access to the food first Well, they were getting food from a dumpster that this resort was using and the alpha males had access to it first It was one one of the dumpsters was filled with bad food painted food and these baboons ate it and died So the ones that ate at first were the ones who had access to it and they died and the alphas were all dead So when the alphas were all dead in the absence of the alphas being dead the betas never assumed an alpha position They just got along with each other And it lasted for like I think quite a while it lasted for years I believe until probably they went back to their normal way of behaving but for a long fucking time Behaved in a way where there was like there's no brutish because like in those packs of baboons They're fucking horrible to each other.
Maybe they didn't think they they were waiting on him to come back.
He was like, hey Yeah, nobody do nothing because you know, they gonna come back and beat us right don't pretend you're the boss and then somebody came and said And then they started with the bullshit So when the top ranking males died off in the mid 1980s Aggression by the new top by boons dropped dramatically with most aggression occurring between baboons of similar rank and little bit directed towards lower Status males and none at all directed at females troop members also spent a large percentage of time grooming Sat close to closer together that in the past and hormone samples indicated the lowest status males experienced less stress Than underlings and other baboon troops more interestingly These effects persisted at least through the late 90s So wow is more than 10 years well after the original kinder males had died off Not only that when the adolescent males who grew up in other troops joined the garbage dump troop they too engaged in less aggressive behavior than in other baboon troops as Sapolsky put it we don't understand the mechanism of transmission But the jerky new guys are obviously learning we don't do things like that around here So at least by baboon standards the garbage dump troop developed and enforced what I would call a no asshole rule Isn't that amazing?
Oh, this is this is prison.
Oh Yeah, because you can come in see I see what happened now the other guys like no You see what happened to the mama end up in the dumps and shit We're not gonna go that route if there's so that that's basically what happened they they saw a man these other guys gone They did we don't and then you see they say that the other guys who were Lest-stress They was they was getting their ass whoop their first.
It gets slapped around.
They didn't stop the round So when the kinder males like and man look let's just have a peaceful situation We ain't gotta do all that man.
You can come talk to me Yeah, I'm not slapping.
I'm not slapping nobody When when you on a what we call a Cadillac tank, that's what a Cadillac tank is well What you come over there and everybody come and lay it down to you look man We don't we wouldn't know that bullshit over here man I'll let whatever you gonna do all that stealing and whatever you have you got moved over here It's Cadillac over here.
They let you know It's you don't want none of that Wow shit over you on lose your TV on lose your coffee pot You want to be locked down you don't be none of that shit you a man you need some come tell somebody You ain't gotta steal nothing, you know, yeah, this is calling.
It's a convict tank basically, you know, will people Understand how to do their time you won't do your time less stressful I don't think people would appreciate like the average person thinks about a jail.
They don't think of that I think they probably wouldn't They probably wouldn't imagine that that would be the case.
Would that make sense?
You know was weird about jail I don't understand why jail is so brutal when you not in when you're not found guilty yet right because when I wanted you I'm gonna talk about it in the special but When I went my whole thought was how to get out You don't even eat for the first four days You're saying you don't eat nothing like they be bringing food name I mean y'all man this shit cuz you thinking I'm getting out So I'm not I'm not I'm not acting with myself the prison food I'm not even eating this shit none this jail food Right and then after like four days you don't get out then you like well, hey, man, let me get my juice Y'all haven't had the rest of this yet Like day number seven you like now you eat your all your food Did you know you're not getting out just yet, but you still going to court.
I wouldn't be thinking about doing nothing Wow Because I'm still trying to fight my case And I don't think most people don't even think like that they get I don't know what they be thinking but it'd be some Wow Shit on a brain especially when they there for a long period of time Like I've been in here a year fighting this murder case Okay, but are you are you guilty like so why are you acting like you guilty you in here doing all the rest of this nonsense I think it's it's a stigma that comes along with prison That people try to act out when they go there So but I've been in other jails Where it's not like that.
It's like a man.
We aiming I'm in here trying to trying to get out and I Was there on traffic tickets, but it was still like even if you go that you go to Harris County on a traffic ticket It's like you're in full fledged Like why am I even around anybody who could you what you mean if a capital murder?
why am I even in here with you and I'm in here on traffic tickets.
Like we don't we not gonna run into each other Like you not even supposed to run into those people until you go to prison cuz jail and prison I was actually supposed to be different Now I understand you getting a you don't want to be in either place But I don't understand I don't understand The animalistic behavior that jumps off as soon as you get locked up In this and it's only with a certain ethnic group Do you think they think they have to do it that way because they've been told that that's what it's like when you get in That's the stigma that comes in but I even though I was somewhere that I knew that was bad I didn't go into with the I'm finna be bad, too.
No, man.
I'm already if somebody Try me then I'm up defend myself, but other than that, I'm not going to that trying to bother nobody But see that's the whole thing I've never started a fight though, too.
I had to remember that by myself I've never started to fight even though I can't fight and I can fight well.
I just never started one But if you start one with me, then you figure out like oh shit.
He can actually fight.
Yeah, I Just don't start them and I think most people that can fight don't start them Because it because it becomes a I'm not the same person Yeah in combat that I am as normal like this shit is different with me and I'm and I'm I'm locked in the scary thing is people who can fight who like to fight who do go looking for fights And those are real too.
Oh those are real too.
So you still sit does just don't fight It's the dumbest thing to do especially you want to let want to fight learn how to fight go to a gym You can get plenty of fighting in the gym.
You don't even have to have a fight.
What's most sparring matches are basically fights Yes, and and you did that I didn't tell you but people know I did I tell you when I when I sparred with Todd manual I Don't know man Todd manual beat the shit out of me like and I was fucking with him Like I came in there fucking with him like He had just fought Victor T's like that and I just walked in fucking with him I just got in the ring with like what's up Todd shit in being here talking shit I'll take it to my ass to like but people know I can fight But Todd was on one thought took it to my ass in it and it was that first Two body shots that I was just and I was fucking with him and Yeah, there's good and then there's professional good right and then this high-level professional good Yeah, high-level professional good.
It's fucking scary if it's boxing Yeah, like like Gotti just found that out about Florida like that shit is different Now you can say a lot about Florida, but Stan the bit once them gloves get on and you across from it Oh, that's just different.
He's still very very fast very fast and it should hurt Oh, yeah, that's it.
Oh, yeah, of course.
I even be playing that shit hurt Yeah, I mean he fought Logan Paul Logan Paul weighs 200 plus pounds and he turned the shit out Logan Paul Nick like I Like wow, and then yeah, and I think he held him up like hey man.
Don't father you'll mess the money up I think he's just too big.
I think Logan was just too big if they were the same size I think Floyd would have knocked him out Logan was so big.
Oh, he was so much bigger than it's been shots though It's so crazy to see a guy who is the best boxer of all time Having a fight with this super athletic gigantic YouTube kid I Mean look at the size difference.
It's insane Yeah, it's insane.
It was like when he when he Like when he wrestled with show with oh, yeah Yeah, pro wrestling yeah, that's at least that's the actual right there's an actual fight Yeah, even when he when he when he fought um Yeah, when he fought Canelo Canelo was a big-ass, too Yeah, can I was a big-ass too, but he was very smart with that Canelo fight.
He made an L drop down to like 152 I think that's what the weight limit was Canelo, you know I really had to drain himself to get down there and also like you watch Canelo before Floyd and after Floyd and You just go.
Oh he learned He his head movement is superb now Canelo gets in there this this fights of his we see his head movement.
You're like, oh my god I just saw his last fight Canelo and he any big yeah, that's he's a big fella Well, you know, he's doing 175 now when he knocked out Covelo.
Yeah, so he got real small for that fight You know Florida smart man, like see me Manny Pacquiao He waited and waited and waited and waited and waited until after Marquez knocked out Manny and he's like, okay I think that was mostly promoters.
These promoters.
Yes be brutal.
They just And then everybody blamed the fight.
Oh, you didn't want to fight it.
No, they couldn't get the shit together The most disappointing one to me is Tyson Fury and Usyk.
I was really looking forward to that fight That was an interesting one to me because Tyson Fury is the biggest in the division.
He's got insane skills He's fucking huge.
He said he's a big guy.
He's a big guy He's got insane skills.
He's fucking huge.
He's six foot nine.
He's arguably one of the greatest heavyweight boxers ever and Usyk is this phenom of technique and footwork and movement, but how is he gonna fuck with that six foot nine guy?
How's he gonna fuck with that jab?
How can you even get close to him?
He's so much bigger than I mean It's a fascinating fight and they fucked it even gave him 70 30 He gave the Tyson's anyone at 70 30 which you know makes kind of sense He's the big star Yeah, Usyk even said yes, and they still couldn't get the deal done still can you I don't know what the fuck happened I know this Crawford in their own space is gonna be Thank God they got that done now But because I was I was worried that they were gonna wait until Terrence was older You know because it's like if it happens two years from now, it's what is he 36 now?
Yeah.
Yeah Regis Regis Riggle-loot is coming up Terrence Crawford is the slickest switch hitter since Marvin Hagler it yeah, and this is gonna be a problem This is a hell of a fight 28 and over since 39 and oh that is why and I think that oh What you predicting this?
I Would never predict a fight like this because a fight like this to me is a let's see let's see Let's see it's a let's see cuz they're both at the top of the top in boxing today the pinnacle But it's both of them have a strength.
This is one of them.
Let's see just I didn't think Ryan I didn't think tank and Ryan was just gonna be this electric fight.
I just didn't I just thought Tank was just too much.
Yeah, I thought it was gonna be too much too It's just he has too many too many tools and his style is so weird his style so weird He's so conservative in the beginning.
He's not throwing hardly any punches, but did the fucking threat of danger always lose It's terrifying.
That's the that's the problem You could be doing all that he just you like But you still throwing very tentative like hey if I throw this jab it I need to get this shit right back I Need this do you understand how I need to get this jab back to my goddamn face?
I need the eye yeah, I'm saying I won't even and people won't even throw it all the way out there Because they need to get like I can't give because he's already up under you Yeah, and that's the problem that you see that he's up under you you like oh shit.
Yeah, if I throw any goddamn thing Yeah, he gonna turn He gonna blow my shit up Straight from the floor it with crazy speed It's it's like it's like Tyson yeah It's more like you don't really like this shit It's like a small Tyson yeah coming cuz Tyson was so leveled up under him Like soon as you throw anything out there like if I throw my jab out there I gotta have my knees bent and this you gotta I need my elbow to Guard my goddamn breadbasket my liver my kidney all this shit because it's just bad.
It's bad news It's just bad news terrifying the consequences of any mistake are so big the consequences pull up a Gervonta Davis Let's watch some highlights You open any of that shit up he is ha how many fights is he even have that have gone decision?
It's only a couple yeah, it's one when he broke his hand It was one fight where he wanted decision where he broke his hand that might be the only one that went to a decision damn shame the only guy who I think has a higher knockout ratio that's a champion is Arthur better beef that's the light heavyweight guy to two he's got one in 2014.
Uh-huh and then one Yeah up here Isaac Cruz 27 and oh and All of them except two are by knockout or excuse me 29 and oh and all of them except two are by knockout 27 knockouts That shit oh my god and it's skill right up under right up under your shit that fucking oh I'm right here.
I'm right here and soon as you throw something out there that I think is Okay, uh-huh You finna go oh look at that right hook man right on the temple.
It's just he hits people different Why is it down boom right over right?
Oh my god the speed and the accuracy It's the power and it's also the technique.
It's like everything is there.
It's not like he's just a slugger He's like he's a scientist.
He's like dissecting in there He's downloading data and then applying it and moving on you in a way you have never had anybody move on you before Well, you can't bring that body shot.
Oh my god.
He will not let you breathe.
What's that?
Oh, you throw yours and I'm gonna throw mine.
Oh, I'm already up under you And when you look at him, I mean he looks Super athletic and fit, but it doesn't look any different than a normal super athletic fit guy You know saying like you like it's not yeah It's not his it's not like some weirdness about his body that you see like if you see like yo El Romero He's so ridiculously huge when he knocks people out it kind of makes sense But Gervonta looks like a regular guy, but he hits like a fucking Mack truck that is the role you fight Look at this reach.
It's crazy.
I mean look at that left hand Play that again.
That was crazy Huh?
Boom.
I mean it's picture-perfect He's coming in and he catches them coming in with a perfect left hand this boom You don't even I mean crazy some dudes from a shot like that.
They're never the same guy.
He ain't the same Yeah That shoe that shoe is leaning boom I mean Incredible look at this shot.
Yeah, he's so dangerous man.
He's so dangerous It's like their body shot is what said all that up That because he is there's one does what's the guy that went to his corner.
He's like man.
I can't see The guy before Ryan the guy went to his corner After after the round is like I can't see I Don't know which guy it was I Don't think it's him but either way.
I mean this is how hard this kid hits.
It's insane They he's on that like some crazy situation where the judge sent him to jail because he was under house arrest Yeah But they put him in house arrest in a house and it was too small for security detail his family and his kids And so he got a suite at the four seasons and his house got robbed apparently and his house got robbed while he's in prison That's insane Insane he's so fucking talented.
There's so many fights for him now after the Devin Haney Lomachenko fight and Shakur Stevenson like that division is just stacked What you think about that Loma take off?
I didn't agree with it It's close though if you go back and watch it.
It's a close fight, but I think Loma Cenko edged him I think Loma Cenko should have got the decision.
He was pushing it He definitely had more significant moments, but he did land some very good body shots Very good he and showed his heart because he got pushed further than anybody's ever pushed him before He's literally what he did to Cambosa's two fights in a row.
I mean he boxed Cambosa's his face off I had to go back.
Yeah this guy Hector Luis Garcia that guy.
Yeah, he's like I can't see Because I didn't know where I was that's how hard he is.
It's crazy.
I had to go back in Haney Loma Chico fight to go to because I saw I start watching in five in the fifth So I had to go back and see was it what what type of damage that he do in the first four And I say well, I guess they just go on these body shots because Loma Chico from Round seven to the end.
I thought that he was winning this fight like yeah I was when I was when I watched it without the sound I thought that he did clearly nine eight nine and ten Were clear Loma Cenko rounds for me eight nine and ten and then Eleven and twelve It was a toss-up because of the vicious body shots, but he did land some good Listen, what are those body shots worth if you if you look at like a Gervonta Davis body shot knockout blow It's obviously worth a lot But people tend to think that hitting someone in the face is generally scores more than hitting someone in the body I don't know if that's fair It's it was a very very good fight He was a good friend the problem with a fight like that is when the decision comes and most people don't agree with it It kind of like taints the effort You know It's like everybody like looks at Haney like he did something wrong and he fought an amazing fight against a guy who's a ghost Loma Cenko is a ghost.
Yeah, I mean what he does in there is wild shit and he's a hard Hitting and he pushed and he pushed the fight to push the fight push the fight Yeah, he definitely pushed the fight and he definitely did some wild shit But he definitely got hit with some hard body shots.
It was a good fight a very very good fight But I think the fact that he was trying to absorb the body shots with coming off his feet Yeah, and it did and it just don't look good.
It's look like somebody knocking you off your feet, right?
Instead of you you're jumping with it Yeah, you jumping with it trying to take the impact on the shit still hitting you and if he would have stayed down I think it wouldn't look this bad.
But if you were to stay down what you had went down, right?
He's doing the right thing you got to you got to go with those shots Especially Devin Haney Devin Haney's a big lightweight.
He's big and he's big and he hits very hard He's so skillful his jab is top-notch when in the combos his fight I was come Bosis is good man what he did to Tia Fimo when he dropped him in the first round I was like whoa, he's fast Haney jab crazy It looked crazy, but he also like technically looks so good Everything he did was so good everything he did was he's so well schooled, you know Hello machiko I was I Just want to see them fight more but I think Crawford is going to that is a big one I think Crawford's gonna pull it out.
Well, it's gonna be interesting to see You know, I would never I Did to me that is oh fuck knows I'm excited to see it.
Earl Spence is a bad man.
He's a bad man.
He hits hard He's I think he's underrated by a lot of people for some reason but but is that's another level But this is the highest level both of them have experienced I think Like who I mean, who do you think out of people that bud is beaten?
He's beaten everybody's fought But who do you think is on the level of Earl?
I Arguably, this is the best fighter he's faced us.
This is the best fight.
I think there's a best fighters And there's no disrespect to any the other fight in this place But I think right now Earl is like it he's in that state that Sugar Ray Leonard in his prime stage You know, there's a stage where a fighter is so elite that you're like I can't wait to see what happens when he fights for about or Duran.
I can't wait, you know There's this level where you're like, how good is he?
I?
Just saw Sugar Ray and his benefit for diabetes Out in Sugar Ray looks fit.
He works out on Instagram Sugar Ray looks like he ready right now like his workouts puts workouts up on Instagram, and you know when you run into a fighter and You don't realize how small they are in certain fighters indeed Otherwise, you don't realize how big they are I ran into sugar shame mostly at the same benefit and he and he's smaller than me But he's rocked up like up on his sweater with so many knots It's like a pillowcase full of shoes Just all these rocks.
I'm a man sugar shame you good.
What's up, brother?
You good.
I'm like good lord Strong me like why right now and then but no Hopkins was there in a suit real tailored I say hey champ.
How you doing hands was just stone But talking soft you say hey, but you're good, but Sugar Ray man Sugar Ray is sugar.
Ray still working out and he's look at him Oh It is all that hurt.
It's like this.
It's like it um Midtown at Main Street boxing gym, right?
It's this man.
He is 79 and he comes every day cleans up in the gym and Try it Try it you think this you gonna get a win off of him.
Hey, man.
Let's just box around This is gonna be the worst day of your whole entire life.
I don't know who he used to fight But he comes throwing at that bell gawl, you know it is a problem like Hey, man, you know I just me you just talk like we friends This shit is bad really yes Wow and it's man It is a melee.
Did you see George Foreman hitting the heavy bag at 74?
Did you see that?
Yes, I saw it on its own only fine It is insane insane And then like Mike Tyson working out yeah, oh my god Oh, it's like man is does this trainer doesn't not look like he's killing him.
Yes Like his trainer is Rafael Cordero.
He's a legendary MMA trainer.
He runs Kings MMA in California Rafael Cordero is the man.
It's like them blows are coming.
Yeah, and he's wearing a body suit to eat those body shots Fuck that and then also you got that just knowing Mike Tyson has boxing gloves and he's in front of you And you somehow know that you're gonna fucking ring with him, and he's moving towards you like what does that feel like?
But check this out look at George.
That's the big one.
Yeah, give me some volume on this cuz we got it We got to hear this What happened to the volume oh We got to hear it.
Oh you got to hear it.
Oh, this doesn't mean anything.
Let's fix that You know let's fix it.
Whatever it is.
That's it if I'm quite sure you have Been on the biggest bag in the gym.
Yeah, and big ass bad.
That shit.
Don't move like you In the bag now moving Jamie, what's going on?
Can we try just?
Okay, but it did before oh Oh, oh, so there's something wrong with the connection.
There it is here.
It is okay back it up back it up so we can see Sounds active out Dude and that's one of the things that George Foreman used to practice go to George young George Foreman hitting the heavy bag George Foreman like he would hit the heavy bag different than a lot of people would one of the things that he would do is he Always just practice wallop in the heavy bag just stand in front of it full blast wing and punches I'm gonna do it Always just practice wallop in the heavy bag just stand in front of it full blast wing and punches Not like setting things up moving around no set up no no All right, we're back See if you can find Young George Foreman hitting the heavy bag.
Why do we have his his face on that bag?
George coming around the other two because he's never had George Foreman hit the heavy bag with this before It's hard to hold the heavy bag without doing that though.
Yeah, here it is.
Look at this So he this is what he did a lot of this The volumes dead again, there it goes.
I got it now Look at this But who hits the heavy bag like this he's just winging punches He got his hand out the way.
Yeah Yeah, I mean even the way he does it he's just throwing power shot after power shot And that's just a break Yeah, I mean and Not even really bending that much at the knees.
That's what's crazy the kind of power this dude had I Mean this is ferocious ferocious when he gets his legs into it my god This thing Ali was taking it took it all took it all Dodge him.
I want you to pull up George Foreman knocks out Joe Frazier It was it was I thought I thought phrase gonna die Nothing off his feet that was a crazy one because that was when Joe Frazier just beat Muhammad Ali Yeah And then you see what Foreman does to Frazier and everybody thought that Foreman was gonna crush Ali and they were scared Because it was like this is a real it's like this the first super heavyweight.
It's yeah So this is this is the second round.
So this is when he's already hurt.
I believe I don't remember how many rounds it was This So this was like he had heard him the round before yeah here it is Power Even the way he's boxing he boxes the way he hit the bag look It's just the power is so extraordinary that if he catches you at all He thumps you with that jab and then just swings at you And he hits you oh look at that uppercut oh my god Oh Look at that right hand.
Oh my god.
Oh My god look at that uppercut.
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
Oh my god So the round ends So he gets up and he goes back to his corner Now this is what's amazing that they didn't stop this fight they didn't that's amazing that his corner didn't say that's it That's it champ.
That's it.
You know because either warrior and you came in a different different time, too There's a different time too.
I think today they were stopped the fight.
Yeah, they probably would have stopped it I think today they would have stopped the fight.
You know in this type of power that's coming.
So this is afterwards What's going on what's he warning you about oh my god.
Oh My god his power Here it is boom And see the problem is You can't even block that with your gloves Too much power.
It's so much power And it's skillful too.
It's like he's wings those to the body, but he's also skillful with the jab.
Oh look at that left Oh my god Fraser couldn't even throw his for the fifth time.
He's down.
This is crazy this fight and he's still Boom boom boom, I mean what a warrior Joe Frazier was there and then let he go on to yeah Sure, but he's still in there.
Oh look at that.
Oh My god, it's not stopped Okay, they're stopping the fight Crazy It was crazy And Ali sitting on the couch like he go my shot I This who this who I want to fight Do you know that Hunter s Thompson flew to Africa to watch that fight and was so?
Scared that Ali was gonna get killed and so he did he didn't want to see Ali get the fuck beaten out of him So he stayed in his hotel He stayed in his hotel and he got drunk and he floated around in the pool on a pool floaty And then afterwards he found out that Ali once we'd flown him To Africa to do to write to report Rolling Stone flew crazy He just completely failed didn't go there at all.
It's like now I'm not put on a mix a Nixon mask He was floating around a pool Cuz like video of him doing it.
I don't want to see Hero get killed everybody thought he was gonna get killed Everybody saw that fight and they thought he was going to get killed.
They said there's no way.
How was he gonna beat him?
Here we go, but I mean the videos over yeah, but it's cool, but my god man That era that era of boxing the hat the haggler is still haggler in time of hitman hers Yeah, they it's like they hate it.
It's like whatever went on between them like a man I'm not coming to box you yeah, I'm coming to fight with gloves on this is the only thing It's like you thought that haggler was out of there and I go like no no no I'm going to kill him Do you know I don't get my being down?
You didn't get knocked out.
It's like he was in the like I'm sitting down in the behind in the fight I'm not right about none of them a man second round we gonna see about it It was it was that first round was crazy crazy crazy and Hearns broke his hand the first round Yeah, crazy and that Hearns cracked him a few times.
That's what I'm saying He was like but I go had a legendary chin Legendary chin and and that's why he hated how Ali beat him I mean how on sugar ray beat him with the pittypat shots like it's like He you can see him looking at him like what the fuck are you doing the pittypat shit is last second day?
Like yo, man, what the fuck is he doing like?
Why they keep massaging my arms like it was terrible That wasn't the best, but I do respect the fact that he left.
He's like that's it I'm gonna go to Italy and be a movie star.
I'm done.
I'm done.
I'm done Yeah, there's only a few guys that have ever just said that's it and never came back Did you see anybody better than Peniel Whitaker?
No, no never no not defensively.
He was a fucking genius He was a genius he got robbed against Chavez.
They damn sure if I if I did a movie Like I know movie I want to do about me coaching girls I'm elite but if I did a movie I want to play Peniel with P is like that's that's one of the most phenomenal boxes.
He was so creative Oh, he was so slick in there like his movement was so like see if you find out Purnell Whitaker highlight this He was a bummer man when he died His footwork was phenomenal.
Yeah, he was a part of that crew that was like Mel Juk Taylor Mark Breeland Remember those guys?
Yeah, dude, but he was just so slick Just so hard to hit.
Oh, this is him in Chavez.
Oh The highlights a part of it look at that I mean come on man I Know that was a real bummer man that decision most people disagreed with that decision.
He was so slick And hit so hard.
Oh so accurate, too.
Oh He look at that.
Oh my goodness He was amazing yeah, he was an amazing boxer that a whole era Yeah, there was a lot of great.
There's a lot of great fighters.
Look at this.
Look at this That's amazing look how slick that is I mean come on man Who fucking moves better than that guy?
That's insane nothing yeah, you get nothing and it's Oscar de la hoya I mean it's not a regular dude.
It's the fucking golden boy.
Yeah Look at this It's a It literally dropped down to his butt I mean he's so slick Like nobody else man look at this rolling with shots It's like as the shots are coming out.
I'm a little amazing and damn Slip miss damn boom Let me give you one on the way out.
Nothing is touching him.
It's insane look at him This is incredible, that's how good he was man He was so fucking good so so was Mel Juteau in the early day magic Taylor Elgin Taylor was winning against Julio Cesar Chavez until he landed one punch That one punch in the last round and then Richard Steele stops the fight with two seconds to go Richard Steele it's like crazy.
It's like um when you when the best ever do you watch kid dropped Roy?
When yeah, man, he was so Then he started rapping and Roy Jones Jr.
Start rapping it was over I was like damn Man he got to stay with boxing man.
He started playing basketball and doing everything else and Then he get rocked Good remember when Tarver talked to him right before the fight got an excuse to say that Roy any excuse tonight Roy like Tava was a you seen it like it's gonna be a problem Yeah, like it's gonna be a problem.
Tava was competitive and heavyweight.
He went all the way up to heavyweight Tava was a good fighter very good fighter very good fighter Very difficult to deal with and when he knocked out Roy everybody's like, holy shit And then Glenn Johnson did it and that was a scary one remember that one.
Yes.
His mitt was a pretty long time They were sweeping they were sweeping and everything those scare me those kind of scare me when someone stiffens up Yeah, and to have it happen after the Tarver kale That's what those were the kinds that scare me because sometimes a fighter is still recovering from the initial knockout and they've just convinced themselves They're okay They're not ready.
No, man They you know That's why Manny Pacquiao after Marquez knocked him out Freddie Roach said I want you to take a year off a whole year You want to still work together?
I want you to take a year off.
That was a bad knockout There was that was a bad Marquez the bad man's mad man and Look like he was on all the good stuff Looks like his piss would melt the styrofoam cup I Want I want everything and I'm not supposed to be taking yeah, I'm ready if they drug tested him it would ding like a carnival bell Like when them Bugs Bunny ones we get the big With the guy that Pacquiao used to work The juice of back yeah the guy the Pacquiao the strength and conditioning guy which is always the juice guys Yeah, always always the juice guys.
Those are the guys They're 70 and they got abs I was just eating this banana.
I don't know what I know He ate my food I had no idea was in it Canella said he got some tainted beef You know, how'd you get the fucking steroids in your body tacos, bro?
I Frank Mir who is a UFC heavyweight champion?
Look at that.
Yeah, he was Jack-city and that's at the weigh-ins and they had real weigh-ins back then so he looked a lot bigger the next day So those weigh-ins like the UFC we don't have real weight We have real weigh-ins but the when it's the public sees it It's the ceremonial weigh-in and it's oftentimes many hours after the first weigh-in So what happens is they weigh in at like 810 in the morning and then they get to rehydrate till 4 p.m When they get back on the scale for the ceremonial weigh-ins they've been drinking water and electrolytes all day and eating all day So they might be like 10 pounds heavier like no bullshit by then then they were good So Marquez on fight night though show show him Marquez versus Pacquiao.
Was it three?
It was the third one, right?
That was the last one fight night It was four that's right.
It was four and they wanted to have a fifth one and Marquez like no, I'm good I got it You got me but I got you motherfucker I got you were accounts me he was Yeah He was doing a lot of like crazy workouts for that fight to a lot of dumbbell shit Oh my god, look at the fucking power behind that shot my god Look at that.
Look at the power behind that shot Pac-man was getting packed and then when he he literally like that's it right there Jamie.
That's it He literally ran into that shot looking to land a shot and Marquez timed it perfectly To watch a great like him get flat line is always so strange Yeah, you know like you you're so used to seeing him doing that's like Ricky Hatton Right, yeah Ricky hadn't got it got ah Ricky hadn't got it.
He got it from back.
Yeah, I mean when he got it from Floyd He ran into the buckle.
Yeah, like I'm like man.
What the hell is going on cuz he Floyd got him first Yeah, Floyd got it first.
They many leveled him.
Yeah, Manny flatlined him.
Oh my god Look at the power behind this watch this.
Oh My god, oh My god, I mean the way his head snaps back and he falls look at this lady over here.
Look at look at us Like oh my god.
He's dead.
Yeah Look at him Viva man, you call His zero concern I Mean Pacquiao is out cold.
Is he down?
Is he there?
Okay Hey, it was shit.
I mean, that's like a gunshot wound.
Look at this boom I mean is the perfect punch that might be one of the great I mean it is one of the greatest punches one punch Knockouts in the history of boxing with the consequences on the line with all on the line with these two guys being world champions Did the one shot?
cracking You got cracked That was a that was a wild wild fucking four fights between those two guys get cracking on his shorts He's a hell of a pool player.
Yes.
Yeah, like world-class.
Yeah.
Yeah, like professional level pool player Legitimately.
Yeah, like Minnesota fans.
Minnesota fats wasn't really Minnesota fats Minnesota fats was New York fats and then when the movie the hustler came out with Jackie Gleason and Paul Newman in 1963 I think was a 63 when that movie came out they The movie was so popular that New York fats changed his name to Minnesota fats and said the movie was all about him But it wasn't he was just a good his name is wood off Rudolph Walden Darrone and he was a good pool player But he was not at the level of like Willie Moscone.
He was like the world champion at the time I was just a really good talker.
He's a smooth talking hustler character Man, it was some it's some guys that grew up in pool halls that I would that would beg to differ.
They was great Yeah, if who was great any of them guys This is some guys who never you got noticed that has been playing in pool halls all a life But yeah, cuz you know them.
I know them guys who talk I wish Minnesota fast will come down our way Well, they probably would wear Minnesota fats out but he would play in one pocket He really didn't gamble in anything other than one pocket.
I think that was like my I'm sure he played nine ball, too But I mean like when he would play big games against people he liked to play in one pocket He could play everything though.
He was a he was like a real professional class pool player He was a hustler, but Willie Moscone was like the world champion Willie Moscone his his high record of running balls in a row was like five hundred and twenty six balls in a row Lasted for decades.
That's the person that's in public.
That's the public.
That's not really true It's not really true because in the pool world no in the pool world everybody gets found out Especially today because they gamble because the great players the best players they all gamble you ever heard of Minnesota, right?
Believe me, this is my world like I literally came up in pool halls my dad a lot about pool hustling This is my dad on his own stick and all this and he and you always say man if I don't go shoot We don't eat which is which it wasn't true because he owned a company, but he was a pool Shark, I'm sure I'm sure there's a lot of pool sharks And it's some guys out there that I used to be in the pool I'm like hey if they went public like if that was yeah, they got into you think everybody makes it to like it's some It's some basketball legends that it played at Rutgers, right?
And everybody's mind you talk about dr.
J.
They like come on man Willie Earl Right well there was a color if they but only people there know about Willie Earl.
Yeah, you're saying well There's guys like that in pool But here's the thing everybody knows about them They might not be in the professional tournaments or not in the tournament, but everybody knows about folk legend everybody know they're all hustlers They're all gamblers So they all gamble did you get that good to get really good you have to play for stakes You don't get that good playing funsies.
Oh, no ain't no fun Yeah, you gotta play for real so read when you play for real bread people find out and because the pool wire is like the quickest Wire in the country if someone is playing for twenty five thousand dollars at hard times in Sacramento People in New York City hear about it.
Oh hell yeah instantly people text each other There's no secrets if you play with twenty five hundred.
I'm here about it.
So guys are good Guys are good.
Everybody knows about it.
Yeah, but there's there's local legends.
There's like this guy named Justin Bergman He might be as good as anybody alive, but he doesn't play in too many tournaments and everybody's scared to gamble with him He goes and gambles with world champions and robs him and he's like this dude He never leaves his town and people come to him and try to gamble with him.
It's folklore shit.
Yeah, you know But they're all known.
You know I'm saying remember.
Um, what is this it calm that?
Somebody's son got hustled.
I think it was either good times Oh, it's probably good and he came down the day came Oh, yeah, press friends.
See don't nobody know about feel nobody know my uncle feel Uncle Phil come down.
Okay, this is what y'all doing.
Huh?
Y'all ain't heard about me.
This is what I used to do and then So that's that's what I'm talking about.
Yeah, yeah this desk, but I'm telling you in real life unless it's playing every day He's getting robbed Unless he's playing every day.
It's a perishable skill Jeffrey go get Lucille This oh my god, he's terrible.
He's hustling.
He doesn't know anything now.
He's pretending Okay, so when does he when does he actually play let me see what he actually does when he's actually playing Okay Now he screws his cue together.
All right, so now they're hustling let me see Okay See that's the most embarrassing shit ever is when they try to get someone to pretend they can play pool and they can't really play pool That's why the color of money is so oh, yeah color money is Tom Cruise look like you can kind of play a little Yeah, I mean he didn't look really like a world champion But he looked like he could play a little like it looked reasonable to assume that he could play pool That's like with any skilled thing like pool and any other thing may have somebody acting like right like like boxing like Boxing like I'll say Creed like Creed.
I saw Creed Creed is the worst goddamn box Like I'm like man Will Smith did better than Muhammad Ali than fucking Creed Will Smith did good But Creed I blame Man if you don't get these dance steps I Like that is terrible This is like you can tell they were just doing a count all the pad work like a look one two three Turn your body one two three turn your body like God.
This is so terrible Can you I can't particularly watch Like if you watch me watch Oz or any Drug-dealing movie or any doctor thing.
It's the most excruciating thing happening to my face.
I'm like That's that Man this some that don't even go like that Like I It's terrible like I rather watch something else that I don't know anything about and just be intrigued like oh Maybe that could you know, maybe that could be happening with this right like Whereas I would watch it And I'll sit over there so frustrated next to you it's whispering To me later I'm gonna go to the lobby.
I'm gonna go to the lobby cuz I hate this Gotta drive people crazy to play piano.
They see someone faking it.
That's gotta try people crazy Nobody plays piano anymore think about that.
Yeah, I'll Ray Charles You had little Richard you had No, no, no, no, no Oh does he people definitely play piano?
Yeah, but not like back in the day Jerry Lee Lewis got more instruments now Billy Joel I'm not saying it's not a judgment.
I'm just saying it's interesting like there used to be so many Elton John There were so many piano acts There were like these big piano acts back in the day.
I think I should maybe play I should maybe play one One or two songs in his opening in this Vegas like I don't know but it is people that play like John Legend Definitely plays the piano like in every commercial and everything like he is definitely Like I knew what you meant, but there's also a lot of people they just it's There's other stuff to do, you know, right?
But what I'm seeing is that it used to be like a viable kind of music Yeah, like guitar is still prevalent like yeah, most people still play guitar and drums Yeah, like most people don't pull out But it is people who like something super sincere about singing a song while you're playing the piano like That's very personal Sitting down they're sitting down.
It's very emotional Makes you cry if he's just standing there.
That's what John Legend.
That's why John Legend do it So what is this song?
Ordinary people I think he always leans in We're sure you just as soon as you hear you like we are just yeah ordinary people John Mary was doing I was doing something live where he was just doing like a live storytelling show and he had like a piano You know what's weird about this there's no there's no back to that piano.
How about you face the audience you fucking If he turned his back you would think he's taken maybe I don't know if that's why everybody knows Okay, he's a very very nice guy I think Elton John does his own like like he kind of slightly turnt but he's on like a platform right you can kind of see him Elton John yeah, he's the man Elton John back in the day Set what's that song Saturday night?
Saturday nights alright for fighting What is the actual name of that song his shit sideways to I don't understand that it must be I think it must be to Show that he's playing it which makes sense I think Steve is Stevie Wanda sideways to also you get to see more of him that way You get to see his hands and his legs moving everything It's probably better because I don't think I'm like every time I see anyone play piano.
I've never seen him turn forward It said right because it just be all knees.
Yeah knees and crotch Getting on knees and crack kind of weird that he wears glasses like why is he wearing sunglasses?
He always does isn't that odd?
I mean he always used to wear the big crazy glasses Yeah, that was when he was going bald maybe his eyes bad now Like he's got his hair fixed because he's definitely not going bald anymore.
Well.
He got so lace front I don't know what that is but Steve was pretty good Stevie Wanda Yeah, I don't know Stevie play Rachel.
I've never played to the side.
I mean the front either I think they always played that way I think it's probably because you know there are those pianos that'll play themselves It's a people probably want to see you moving around they want to see you actually doing it See you could find Steve.
It's mine.
That's yeah, that's what people don't play no more the harmonica So here's he's sitting behind keyboards is he facing the crowd I can't tell yeah Okay, he's I think he turned he got keyboards, and then he turns to the piano What about try to find Ray Charles how to Ray Charles do it?
Because Ray Charles didn't even know where the when he only knew by sound where they even were That's you have Yeah, he sideways.
I guess they all do it that way makes sense Here nope I guess it may be better answer is that when you open the the piano up.
That's where the sound comes out Oh Because it goes like this yeah, oh That makes sense and then maybe it's just traditional that they all just do it.
Oh, that's that top thing So it's like sound bounces on the other way.
It's gonna be not a good concert.
Oh That's pretty bad.
Probably most of the reason why oh that makes sense.
That's pretty cool that they designed a top like that It's like a sideways heart.
Why yeah But these pianos don't do that so that kind of defeats Tell everybody the names your specials where they can get them domino effects domino effect to lost they can go right on to my website Ali Siddiq calm or The comedy on Instagram is that what it is?
