0:26

about with him is like i'm so good at like not caring what people think sort of

0:33

and then i find

0:35

no i really care a lot like i'm like in a constant tug of war of that because i

0:39

used to have google

0:40

alerts on oh no for your name yeah oh yeah and then i had to get rid of that oh

0:45

yeah then i was

0:46

like i'm gonna check the youtube comments so that's that was a ring that i had

0:50

to close i'm slowly

0:51

closing the rings the ring i'm stuck in right now is checking what like my

0:56

comedy peers are up to you

0:57

know that kind of stuff the one they make videos cigar the videos they make of

1:02

like uh uh so and so

1:05

is is you know having a breakdown or mark maron said this or those kind of like

1:09

those rings you know

1:10

but i need to close that i want to get i want to have no none of it i want to i

1:14

don't want to check

1:15

any comments or any anything i'm uh much better at this stuff than i ever have

1:20

been in the past of

1:21

avoiding most things that are annoying but every now and then one will sneak in

1:25

and then why did i

1:26

let that sneak in yeah i texted you want to me yeah i texted yeah i was going

1:30

hey check this out he

1:31

goes don't send me shit like this the ronda rousey one didn't really bother me

1:34

okay good i mean

1:36

i know what that is yeah you know like she's uh she's a fucking pit bull man

1:42

that's uh the type of

1:43

human thanks brother you're welcome do you mind if i tell you my opinion of ronda

1:46

rousey and you tell

1:47

me if i'm right or not good because you know what you're talking about and i am

1:51

not a ufc i like i

1:52

like ufc but i don't you know you know these things so i've always said like ronda

1:57

rousey was a

1:58

badass right and was awesome at fighting when there was like 30 girls doing it

2:05

in it like

2:06

professionally at her level right that's why i said i might be wrong but then

2:10

there was probably

2:11

all these girls who could really fight all over the world like in japan and

2:15

other countries and

2:16

even maybe even in america they just weren't in ufc they're like i could

2:18

probably beat this chick

2:20

and now that there's so many women competing on this level like ronda rousey

2:24

probably isn't

2:24

in her prime as badass as like the field well it's very difficult to when

2:31

someone's a pioneer

2:34

she's a legitimate pioneer right it's very difficult to compare them to the

2:38

people that have had a chance

2:39

to study the pioneers and then advance the sport right so what she was is here

2:45

you go

2:45

she's a legend i mean i got nothing but love and respect for that lady what she

2:52

did was

2:52

so impressive she was the first legitimate female superstar she made the ufc

3:01

female division

3:03

possible if it wasn't for her dana was very open about never having female ufc

3:08

fighters it took someone

3:09

that was that dynamic that was that special to open his eyes and go you know

3:14

what i think this lady's a

3:15

star and to be the type like when she said like i wasn't an expert any everyone's

3:21

entitled to their

3:22

opinion you know but you got to understand why she thinks like that because she's

3:25

a fucking she has a

3:26

champion mentality you never fought you ain't shit you know it's like it's real

3:30

simple the football guys

3:31

always do that you didn't play you're like yeah but i studied the sport doesn't

3:34

matter you ain't shit

3:35

i get it it's totally fine um you can't judge her like compare her to like zhang

3:42

weili because like

3:44

zhang weili who was the 115 pound champion she had a chance to watch all these

3:49

other people learn what

3:51

they're doing right what they're doing wrong what's effective what's not

3:54

effective what ronda had is

3:56

world-class judo world-class bronze medalist in the olympics one of the best

4:01

arm bars period in the

4:03

sport in the history of sport her fucking arm bar the technique was flawless

4:08

there's a fight with her

4:10

cat zingano cat zingano launches at her just fucking cat zingano was an animal

4:15

charges at her full

4:16

ronda catches her in an arm bar in like 13 seconds i don't remember the exact

4:21

time it was nuts but it

4:23

was perfect perfect technique you know you couldn't fuck with that but then she

4:27

fought holly holm and

4:29

when she fought holly holm she was dealing with an elite boxer an elite kickboxer

4:35

and a very physically

4:36

strong woman who had an awesome game plan and who had a chance to study ronda

4:40

and maybe more importantly

4:41

came from a great camp and that camp jackson winklejohn camp one of the best

4:46

camps in the world

4:47

john jones came out of that camp holly uh donald cerrone originally came out of

4:52

that camp a lot of

4:53

great fighters came out of there so they were really good at game planning so

4:57

they knew how ronda likes to

4:59

clinch they knew how ronda likes to set up her takedowns and they knew you know

5:03

what to avoid and

5:05

then on top of that holly's just an elite striker so every time ronda tried to

5:08

close the distance

5:09

the striking that she was very effective with against guys like uh betch cohea

5:15

these these fighters that

5:17

were a lower tier it's not going to be as effective with someone like holly and

5:22

holly started catching

5:23

her on the feet and had her rocked and then landed that famous high kick and

5:27

put her out well i thought

5:29

they were like the same age and same era but like holly's after she was able to

5:34

learn from uh i wouldn't

5:36

say they're they are the same era but holly you know she had wins and losses

5:42

she lost to valentina

5:43

shevchenko she lost to some other fighters and but it was stylistically it was

5:49

a great matchup for her

5:51

because she's an elite striker she's really good at counter striking striking

5:55

she's really good at

5:56

movement and when ronda has to close that distance every fight starts in the

6:00

feet and when you're with

6:01

a very physically strong woman who's got good takedown defense and it's good at

6:05

like catching you as

6:06

you're charging in that was that was the problem in that fight also the problem

6:10

in that fight i think

6:12

for ronda is when you start becoming really famous then the hyenas show up and

6:20

they start offering you

6:22

this and offering you that and distracting you with this and distracting you

6:26

with that and now you're

6:28

going to meetings and you're talking to agents and you're setting up movies and

6:31

you're doing this and

6:32

you're doing that and all those things take away from the most important thing

6:37

which is your fighting

6:39

even if they don't take away from the amount of training you do they take away

6:43

from your focus

6:44

they just they rob you of the bandwidth you know i always tell comics this when

6:49

it comes to like

6:50

dealing with um haters and things online that you shouldn't read you only have

6:55

like think of your mind

6:57

as having a number of units of attention think you have a like 100 units of

7:02

focus anything that eats

7:05

into those units anything that bothers you that annoys you that's useless that

7:09

doesn't help you

7:10

that's stealing from your 100 you know so now you only have 80 units or 70

7:15

units of focus because 30 of

7:17

it is concentrated on bullshit it will it'll rob you of what makes you great so

7:23

there was two factors

7:24

there was the skill of holly the fact that she had all this opportunity to

7:28

study ronda and with a great

7:29

team and devise a game plan and then there's also the stealing of focus you

7:35

know ronda i was one of

7:36

the biggest champions of her as a fighter as a as a like a legitimate pioneer

7:41

and a star there was first it

7:43

was gina carano and chris cyborg to a certain extent but cyborg had an asterisk

7:47

because everybody knew

7:49

she was roided up and then it was ronda but ronda eclipsed all of them she's

7:53

bigger than all

7:54

them i was a huge supporter and still am but when you watch a fight and you're

8:01

watching you get your

8:03

ass kicked and the other person is talking about how great the other person is

8:06

doing and how bad

8:07

you're doing that doesn't sit well with a lot of people especially like someone

8:12

who's got that kind

8:13

of champion mentality that fucking pit pull mentality like i thought you were

8:17

with me fuck you yeah and

8:19

then it was after the fight i was very public about saying i don't think she

8:25

should fight for a long time

8:27

they were talking about doing an immediate rematch and i was like that's crazy

8:30

like they were talking

8:31

about doing a rematch in four months or something like that i was like when you

8:34

get head kicked into

8:35

the shadow realm you're supposed to take a long time off when manny pacquiao

8:40

got knocked out by

8:41

juan manuel marquez it was a fucking picture perfect right hand who knocked

8:47

that knocked manny pacquiao

8:49

out his coach freddie roach said you can't fight for a year i don't want you

8:53

doing anything for a year

8:54

for one year because you got to heal up from something like that it's it's bad

8:58

when you get knocked

8:59

unconscious it's not just that you'll be a touch gun shy which is possible but

9:05

also that you're more

9:06

vulnerable to getting hit and then you could ruin your chin forever like if you

9:10

get knocked out

9:11

there's certain fighters that used to have iron chins like chuck o'dell is one

9:14

of the greatest

9:15

examples of that he had an iron chin you could hit that dude with a fucking sledgehammer

9:19

and he would

9:19

just keep swinging at you and then eventually it got to the point where he

9:23

would get clipped and he would

9:24

just go out and it wasn't him it was his his his brain was broken it was like

9:29

it was too many times too

9:31

many shots too many too many knockouts too many impacts you got to preserve

9:36

that you got to be

9:37

very careful with that you got to take a long time off and then there was the

9:41

amanda nunez fight

9:43

so the amanda nunez fight i was also very vocal that everybody was putting all

9:48

of the attention in the

9:49

promotion on ronda making this huge comeback and if you watch the promos for

9:54

that fight i thought

9:56

they were crazy disrespectful because the promos and obviously look ronda was a

10:02

fucking huge star a much bigger star than amanda nunez and that loss was a

10:06

shocking upset to a lot

10:08

of people that didn't understand martial arts and didn't think that holly had a

10:11

chance didn't think

10:11

anybody had a chance she's going to beat everybody forever but all the promo

10:16

was ronda coming back

10:18

all of it was like she's coming back to take what's hers it was ronda in a

10:21

mansion looking out it was like

10:23

the worst yeah promo set like ronda in a mansion looking out the window saying

10:28

i'm gonna go get my

10:29

title i don't know who made that i don't know what it was but i remember being

10:33

backstage the day of the

10:35

fight and there was all these agents mulling around all these hollywood twats

10:39

and this guy was like

10:41

i forget his exact words they were talking he didn't know who ronda was

10:47

fighting and he said who

10:49

i don't know what her name is but whoever it is it's her funeral that's what he

10:53

said i was like oh my

10:55

god like these are the people meanwhile amanda nunez was the scariest person at

11:00

135 and that's what i

11:02

had said before she fought holly holm i mean like dana and i talked about i

11:06

said i think amanda's the

11:07

scariest title challenger because she can flatline chicks with one punch she's

11:11

very different than

11:12

all the other ones she wound up flatlining chris cyborg it was a crazy fight

11:15

she beats the

11:16

fuck out of everybody she hits so hard like way harder than most women and i

11:21

was like that's a

11:22

dangerous fucking opponent and they're making it seem like this is all about

11:26

the ronda comeback

11:27

when amanda was the champion so holly had beaten ronda misha tate had beaten holly

11:33

and then amanda had

11:34

beaten misha tate so amanda was the fucking champion but all the promotion was

11:40

all about ronda and then

11:42

they're trying to do like pro wrestling like i don't know what they were doing

11:45

come back i think you

11:47

know they were just selling the fight they were selling it and the best way to

11:49

sell it is i guess

11:50

that way it was more famous but it's disrespectful to the champion especially a

11:55

fucking dangerous champion and if she if the champion wins which i thought she

12:00

was going to win

12:01

it sets up but it's not good to set her up like you should set her up like how

12:06

fucking dangerous she is now you got a bigger star obviously she wound up being

12:11

a bigger star

12:12

and amanda's the greatest of all time like widely considered to be the greatest

12:15

mixed martial arts

12:16

female fighter in history because she fucks everybody up she's just so

12:20

dangerous um so and

12:22

then that fight happens and then that lady takes ronda out in the first round

12:27

just beats the the piss out of

12:28

her just stops her standing just it was brutal you know i never had a bad thing

12:34

to say about ronda i

12:35

still don't i understand her mentality i mean she's a champion minded person

12:40

like she's like you're

12:42

fucking with me or against me it's me against the world you know she doesn't

12:45

have a chip on her

12:46

shoulder she's got a forest she's got a whole forest on her shoulder well you

12:49

know what i mean like but

12:50

that's why she was so good and we're lucky she's a woman if that lady was a man

12:54

she'd be genghis khan

12:56

okay she'd fucking take over the world she's an animal it's scary so that's why

13:00

she has that opinion

13:02

that's just how she thinks about things i was mad at her just as an everyday

13:06

man because my nieces

13:08

love any woman that's famous for any reason you know and my nieces also aren't

13:13

experts about ufc

13:14

they're little girls and they just think it's cool that a woman's a badass you

13:18

know they like that kind

13:19

of stuff and so then when she lost to like you know be on tick tock i mean

13:24

actually people made

13:25

tick tocks of it it's not like ronda rousey was on tick tock but like she was

13:28

like on ellen being

13:30

like i just wanted to quit and i saw my man and i just realized i want to have

13:33

babies and i was like

13:34

this is not really the message you know if if you lose to just go be a pro

13:39

wrestler or have babies

13:41

like that's not like i don't know i felt like it was a strange way for a

13:45

champion to talk yeah but that's

13:46

that's her legitimately as a human being that's what she wanted and there's

13:50

there comes a time

13:51

that's good no that would be a fine way to frame it well she was being honest

13:55

she wanted to have

13:56

babies she didn't want to do it anymore and that there comes a time where look

13:59

every fighter can

14:00

only red line for so long and the reality of fighting is you're redlining what

14:05

does that mean

14:06

you know what a red line when the engine you know when your tachometer reaches

14:10

like 8 000 rpm

14:11

it's like right you can only do that for so long or your engine blows but to be

14:17

in peak physical

14:18

condition to be able to fight in a championship fight you essentially have to

14:22

red line your body

14:23

through camp you have to get your body to a place where it's at a rate you can't

14:28

maintain fight shape

14:29

it's not possible you get to a certain part you peak and then the last week you

14:35

kind of drop off so

14:36

that you can recover and so that saturday night when saturday night rolls up

14:40

and the lights go on

14:41

in madison square garden you are as ready as a human being can get but you can't

14:46

maintain that

14:47

and you can't do that forever this is only and they think that there's a theory

14:52

amongst uh mixed martial

14:53

arts commentators and experts and what have you that is about nine years nine

14:58

years is all that's

14:59

possible to compete at a peak level and then you get a drop off some people

15:04

have more longevity than

15:05

others it varies some people it's a much shorter reign and you got to kind of

15:10

look at who they were

15:11

when they were at the top you can you can only look at them when they're at

15:15

that peak like guys like

15:16

anderson silva he gets gets kind of dismissed because later in his life the

15:22

performances weren't

15:24

the same they weren't elite performances but i say that's just human you got to

15:30

look at him when he

15:31

was the champion he was one of the most elite guys that's ever competed in the

15:34

sport period he's one

15:35

of the greatest of all time but you can only you got to look at when he was in

15:38

his prime sure you

15:39

you know and there's only a certain amount of time you can do that and then

15:43

when a fighter doesn't

15:44

want to do that and only that anymore you got to get out you got to get out

15:49

because there's some

15:51

fucking 20 year old mike tyson out there there's some animal there's some dude

15:55

that lives breathes

15:56

sleeps fighting and they all they want to do is land shots and take you out

16:01

they just they that's their

16:03

whole focus in life they don't give a fuck about relationships they don't give

16:06

a fuck about where

16:07

they live they don't give a fuck about anything just winning and that's how you

16:11

become a world

16:12

champion that's how you become elite you can only maintain it for so long it's

16:16

not a normal way for

16:17

a human being to exist it's very it's a very strange way to live yeah you know

16:22

and for her it's natural

16:23

like she's a woman she's like i want to have babies i have this great man and

16:26

yeah and she's married

16:27

to travis brown who's also a beast who is a elite ufc heavyweight top 10 heavyweight

16:33

you know she's

16:33

like i'm done i'm gonna make some warrior kids i get it i saw it i was like

16:38

what the hell is that

16:39

man she just didn't want to beat up no no no now my nieces root for holly home

16:45

good lady yeah holly

16:46

home's nice she is nice yeah yeah that's what we like we like the winners who

16:51

are nice yeah i get it

16:54

but there's something about ronda being ronda that made the sport what it is

16:59

but i root for luke

17:00

skywalker not darth vader she's not sure darth vader's cooler and he's probably

17:05

more strong he's

17:06

got the thing you know but you know luke's the good guy and i like the good guy

17:10

she's i root for

17:11

the good guy she's not a bad guy she's you know like look her mother was a

17:15

badass her mother was a

17:17

elite judo competitor actually i hate disagreeing with you joe but she's she

17:23

went to wrestling ronda and

17:26

then she said all these terrible things about the wrestlers she said terrible

17:30

things about you who

17:31

i love she didn't say anything terrible about me she said you're not an expert

17:35

that's all she said

17:36

that's also that's not terrible that's just an opinion seems mean to me no no

17:39

no that's all

17:39

look if i was a pussy it would be mean well i'm a pussy i'm defending you that's

17:43

what i'm doing

17:44

if i was like that's what we do dude that's my whole identity i uh you know she

17:49

she's kind of a

17:51

grumpy gnarly warrior and warriors can be a little prickly she's definitely

17:55

prickly yeah that's all but

17:57

that's why she was awesome you know that's what made her great it was what made

18:01

her great she broke

18:02

that door wide open and all the women that came afterwards follow and it's hard

18:08

for women to become

18:09

famous in in mma because it's hard for them to have the kind of spectacular

18:14

results that men have they

18:15

generally don't have as much power and unless they're like elite at judo or

18:19

something like that

18:20

like she was where they get arm bars and finish people quickly but that's what

18:23

everybody likes

18:24

everybody likes dominance and i want them to be hot that helps that's a good

18:28

one but it's hard to

18:29

mix those worlds yeah you get nisha warrior her holly there's only a few of

18:33

them that were like really

18:35

hot and elite in the old days they weren't looking at the battle lines and they're

18:37

going i wish these

18:38

warriors had more tits like that's what i'm like a very conflicted person i

18:43

wanted to be badass but

20:51

going to a lakers game and we can barely talk we're both talkers you know and

20:55

it's like

20:55

the whole time and i was just like what halfway through the drive as even

a little kid and my son loves this car so i just i picked it because of you you're

21:12

21:13

kid that's hilarious and he was right because when he pulled up i was like oh

21:16

this is awesome but then

21:17

i got in and i was like bro we're not built for this thing it's tiny yeah but

21:21

that's not like your

21:22

analogy like that's not a day-to-day no that's not a road trip car you want to

21:26

be in a cadillac you

21:28

know it'll be something that's quiet and real smooth and handles bumps well

21:33

exactly like a person right

21:35

yeah someone yeah like you want comfortable you want a one-night stand you want

21:38

a muscle car

21:39

you want a long-term relationship get a lexus and if you go to the lakers game

21:43

bring a goddamn suv or

21:45

something something unreal we're in traffic bring something quiet with good air

21:49

conditioning his

21:50

thought his heart was in the right place and he was completely right what car

21:53

was it you know i don't

21:54

know what it was like uh i'm i wouldn't even be able to guess you don't cool

21:57

though you're not into

21:58

cars i love cars but i like the cars i like i've always loved big stupid things

22:02

like i love like uh big

22:03

military vehicles have you seen his hummer yeah love all that stuff yeah he's

22:07

got a a real hummer

22:09

with like a crazy diesel turbocharged engine last time i was here and i did his

22:13

podcast he had this

22:14

huge bronco that he was like doing some thing reselling it like enough people

22:19

buy tickets for

22:20

it or something like that oh yeah that truck was a beautiful truck and i like

22:23

like that's what i like

22:24

is like big stupid tires anything in mad max i loved anything the military

22:29

drives i was like can i buy

22:30

that they're like no this is it's not built for that you can buy a lot of

22:33

things those yeah but

22:35

they're like they gotta go to those auctions and shit yeah you just gotta know

22:38

people you get a lot

22:39

of things these days i would love that yeah there's some crazy i've never owned

22:43

anything that fits in my

22:44

garage no no i have to park on the street all the time i had to get rid of my

22:47

last jeep because i put

22:48

like 46 inch tires on it and i lifted it up and like it has no doors and no top

22:54

and um so it's just

22:56

parked in sherman oaks on the street and i'm on the road so much and it's just

23:00

sitting there

23:01

just sitting there so i come back there'd be you know just like someone would

23:04

walk by with like a

23:05

soda and just throw it in there you know because you know they don't care they

23:09

get mad at you right

23:10

why do you what a douche yeah and where i am it's not popular to have cool big

23:14

shit like that right

23:15

german oaks is popular to have a prius with a coexist bumper sticker it's so

23:18

annoying i have a cyber truck

23:21

and uh i you can't really lift it but since it has an air suspension right you

23:27

can buy pins that make

23:29

the air suspension one inch larger than whatever it's adjusting to because if

23:33

you put a lift on it the the

23:35

it's gonna screw it all up so anyways long story short i have a lifted cyber

23:40

truck with big stupid

23:41

tires on it and i drive into the comedy store parking lot and i'm like this

23:45

really isn't helping my

23:47

reputation every time i roll in everyone's like what is that it used to be that

23:51

if you had a tesla you

23:53

were you were signaling that you were a left-wing person 100 you know you're

23:57

environmentally conscious

23:58

worried about carbon yeah that that was the one of the more crazy shifts and we

24:04

could come up with a

24:04

thousand of these but like evs used to be considered like this great thing you're

24:09

doing well they still

24:10

are unless it's a cyber truck unless it's a tesla i get flipped off every day

24:14

really in my

24:16

cyber truck yeah every day there's a video of this lady in new jersey she gets

24:20

out of a cyber truck

24:21

just gets out she was a passenger and this lady who's walking her dog goes how

24:25

does it feel to be

24:25

racist and she's like what are you she's like what are you talking about she

24:29

got a ride she wasn't

24:30

even driving oh someone dropped her off she's like what are you talking about

24:33

yeah you're racist you're

24:34

in a cyber truck you're racist and she's like what the fuck is wrong with you

24:38

you're you're crazy it

24:39

blows my mind well people are always looking for every possible opportunity to

24:45

be a shithead and if

24:46

they can be a shithead if they're justified in being a shithead because they

24:50

disagree with you

24:51

they would be the meanest motherfuckers just to be a shithead and that activity

24:57

happens

24:58

primarily on the left primarily like you don't see that from the right like if

25:05

someone pulls up

25:07

in a prius with a coexist bumper sticker you don't see a bunch of guys going

25:12

hey you

25:12

fucking pussy yeah exactly what are you supporting fucking iraq we get out of

25:16

our town isis with your

25:18

fucking yeah bullshit fucking bumper sticker on your shit back car it has it

25:23

feel to be an isis

25:24

supporter you don't get that ever but you get that from the left and i don't i

25:28

think it's the trump

25:30

thing i think trump was such a figure is such a figure of like an attack vector

25:36

that they look at him

25:37

like it's fun for them yeah it's fun they have an enemy it occupies their brain

25:42

at all times they

25:43

have an enemy yeah yeah like jimmy kimmel's wife was doing some podcast

25:47

recently jimmy and the wife

25:48

and the wife was saying that she has a hard time talking to her relatives

25:51

because they voted for

25:52

trump she says like if you vote for trump you're voting against my yeah you're

25:56

voting against my husband

25:57

and my family like what are you talking about well i think that that's the big

26:01

psyop they've made

26:03

everything racial yeah everything is racial and so the last thing you want to

26:07

be called is a racist

26:09

right so when you make it as simple as race like just racial like just that

26:13

blanketly simple then

26:16

anything another color does you'd be considered so you go oh i don't really

26:21

believe or i think muslims

26:24

are blank whatever that sentence is you go racist and you go well there's

26:28

surely some things we could

26:29

criticize about uh maybe north korea they go oh you're racist so it's like it's

26:33

because it's so

26:34

simple and it's so vague and people love to keep vague things yeah because then

26:38

they can make their

26:39

i saw a comedian i won't say her name because i can't pronounce it but it's

26:42

that's why i won't

26:43

say it not because i'm holding back names uh marylyn reishgib or ricegib or

26:47

whatever her name is

26:48

i know marylyn yeah she used to be really nice to me and then she used to be

26:52

yeah she

26:53

she got caught talking about me and i dm'd her immediately and then she's like

26:57

and uh you know

27:00

i think she's a nice person she's a very nice person yeah she's nice and um

27:04

people get caught

27:05

up in that i saw her do a bit the other night uh in the lab where she was like

27:09

that she was like

27:10

i'm texting with this guy and he said uh she said how are you and he said oh i'm

27:15

just really sad

27:17

today about charlie about charlie kirk and and then she goes and my hand was

27:22

like my phone was on

27:23

fire i was like oh like what and then the crowd laughed to her defense like the

27:29

the lab at the

27:30

improv thought this was a hilarious premise and then she said um she was like

27:35

uh what part of his

27:36

ideas did you find so uh gripping what was it his racist she just started

27:41

launching into like about

27:43

how like the fact that a guy she liked would be sad about charlie kirk's

27:48

assassination was the

27:50

biggest turnoff to her that she wrote like a whole bit about it and i was just

27:55

in my mind i was like

27:56

i can't believe that this is her take i can't believe it's a take that the

28:01

crowd is on board with

28:03

and i can't believe i'm in this town uh anymore like i was like a moment for me

28:12

where i was like

28:13

what am i am i insane no like that's what makes me those are the moments where

28:18

you go i think i'm

28:19

the crazy person there's a room full of people here who agree that charlie kirk

28:23

must have been this

28:24

terrible thing and hence deserves being publicly assassinated and if you feel

28:30

sad about it you're

28:32

gross to her and she wants to throw her phone away and she wants to go oh and

28:35

that's hilarious to

28:36

everyone wow because the simple vagueness of race you know it's like this this

28:43

this constant obsession

28:45

with you know you you have to agree with a socialist mayor in new york or you

28:51

must be a racist or islam

28:53

folk they've just made it so vague that it's very easy to always label her or

28:57

put things in things in a

28:58

kind of thing well there's there's certainly cult-like thinking involved in

29:03

both the right and

29:04

the left there's that's it's a real problem with people that identify with any

29:10

political ideology

29:12

whether they're identifies being a conservative or identifies being a liberal

29:16

it's a real problem

29:17

because then you lose all your objective thinking and you have to agree with

29:22

everything that this side

29:23

supports and generally that's never a good thing to just agree with like a swath

29:29

of predetermined ideas

29:32

yeah and one is that public assassinations are okay and and that they're not

29:38

sad they're sad no matter

29:40

who it is and i would say even if charlie kirk was a terrible person even if he

29:45

was which he was not

29:47

i knew him and he was not uh but even if he was let's say they're right about

29:51

all those things

29:52

you're happy that he got shot now the correct way to handle someone who has bad

29:58

ideas is to confront

30:00

them with better ideas it's not a 30-odd six round to the neck right publicly

30:05

where people are cheering

30:06

that's crazy and they kept it vague they keep it vague that's how it always

30:11

works it's like well i go well

30:13

why don't why are you why are you posting on um social media that you that you're

30:18

happy about it

30:19

or that you're not sad about it just tell me simply why why you think that and

30:24

they go well because his

30:25

ideas were dangerous super vague didn't say the ideas didn't say how they're

30:29

dangerous or why they're

30:30

dangerous it's always vague well there's also a problem with clips when you

30:36

take sound bites like

30:37

very short clips out of context of what someone's saying and then you highlight

30:41

that one particular

30:42

sentence and the way they said that sentence you could frame someone in a very

30:45

different way than

30:47

who they really are and i think there was some problems with some of the things

30:50

that charlie said

30:51

the way he said them and in the fact that you could take it as a clip and one

30:56

of them was

30:56

the idea of dei pilots like the idea of any lowering of standards of anyone in

31:05

a really important job like

31:06

a pilot because a person is blank fill in the blank because they're a lesbian

31:12

or because they're gay or

31:13

because they're white or because they're chinese or because they're black or

31:17

whatever it is if you're

31:18

lowering standards because you want more people of one thing well you've just

31:22

made the skies a little

31:23

more dangerous you've made a very dangerous thing which is flying a little more

31:27

dangerous so his statement

31:29

was because they're doing this and they're trying to get they're using dei to

31:33

hire people and when i

31:35

get on a plane and i see a black pilot i hope that they're qualified or he

31:39

wonders yeah he said i don't

31:41

want i hate that when i see a black pilot my mind thinks i wonder if they were

31:46

part of a dei hiring correct

31:49

right that's it's a problem in the way he said it right instead of saying that

31:54

that way because

31:55

what one of the things that i pointed out is that what dei especially in

32:02

regards to education the

32:04

people that discriminates the most against like people say it's a white supremacist

32:08

idea to uh to be

32:09

against dei the people that dei discriminates the most against in education is

32:15

asians because asians

32:18

fucking kill it in universities they kill it so much so that there was a giant

32:23

lawsuit at harvard

32:25

because they were making their admission standards more difficult for asian

32:28

people

32:29

than they were for white people for black people for everybody else they made

32:32

asians more difficult

32:33

because if they didn't half of their fucking population in their classes would

32:37

be asian because

32:38

they work harder it's a cultural thing you know i grew up in taekwondo and i

32:44

grew up around a lot of koreans

32:46

and man you haven't seen worth ethic until you've seen first generation koreans

32:53

who come over to america

32:55

and you know they have those tiger moms and tiger dads that's a real thing that's

32:59

good that is a

33:00

fuck i guess well i mean for these sort of subjects it's good for getting

33:04

things great for trauma

33:06

and not great for those things right but if we're talking about the workforce

33:09

or symphony if we're if

33:11

it's just a meritocracy if it's just a meritocracy it's like who is the best

33:15

student who is the best

33:16

this who's the best that yeah it's good for that you know but it's like it's

33:20

the same thing it was

33:21

like trying to be a champion like you can only red line for so long before you

33:25

go fucking crazy and the the

33:26

lack of balance between pleasure and and struggle and discipline and fun you

33:33

have to balance if you

33:34

want to have a good life and ultimately you're supposed to be enjoying your

33:38

life i don't think

33:39

you could truly enjoy your life without some measure of discipline i think

33:43

discipline is important it's

33:45

the reason why you can enjoy the relaxing moments because you earn them you

33:49

have to earn them and but

33:50

i do think you should have them too and when i was around a lot of korean guys

33:55

like my friend junk

33:57

sick i've talked about him before but he was a national champion when we were

34:01

kids he was not as

34:02

talented as other people he wasn't as fast he wasn't he didn't have any unusual

34:07

genetic gifts that some

34:08

people had but that motherfucker worked so hard he was in residency okay so he

34:16

was in medical school

34:18

while he was on the national team so he would go to school all day and for

34:22

workouts sometimes he would

34:24

take all his books put him in his backpack and run upstairs at the school just

34:29

run upstairs at the

34:30

university and that's how he'd get his some of his cardio in and then he would

34:34

come to the gym and he

34:35

would be you know he'd come to the gym for nighttime training we train at like

34:38

six o'clock at night

34:39

seven o'clock at night and he would be just drained but he would just dig in

34:44

and and get to it man

34:46

and it was just it's that mentality is why asians do so well in school right it's

34:52

like this pushing

34:53

from their parents the high pressure and again i don't think it's so good for

34:56

you psychologically

34:58

i don't do that with my kids my kids do very well in school but they do very

35:01

well in school because

35:02

of the example that i and my wife set of be a nice person work really hard have

35:08

discipline do the stuff

35:09

you're supposed to do don't off you know get get the things done that you're

35:12

supposed to do

35:13

the but would they be able to compete with some kid who just came over here

35:18

from china i don't know

35:19

which is why the countries like america so much is because they realize oh if i

35:23

work as hard as i

35:24

can maybe in wherever they live yes you know india or some of these other

35:28

places it's not a promise

35:29

that they'll succeed and but they love a capitalistic america where i'm like

35:32

yeah if i put in the work

35:34

and my kids put in the work and i force my kids to put in the work it'll work

35:37

this is an ad for better

35:38

help with the days getting colder shorter and darker it can be tough for many

35:43

and really you never know

35:44

what someone might be going through so here's a reminder to take the time to

35:48

reach out and connect

35:49

with the people you care about whether it's a sibling you see every week or a

35:53

friend you haven't

35:54

spoken to in months you might be glad you did and more often than not you

35:59

probably would be kicking

36:00

yourself for not doing it sooner i mean it's easier than you think reaching out

36:04

and talking to someone

36:05

the same is true for therapy plus therapy is a great place to start if you're

36:09

struggling to connect

36:10

with someone it's good to have a professional therapist you can talk to who can

36:14

guide you through

36:15

any issues in your life finding the right therapist has also never been easier

36:20

thanks to better help

36:21

they have an extensive network with access to over 30 000 therapists worldwide

36:27

and they do the initial

36:28

matching work for you so you can focus on your therapy goals it's one of many

36:33

reasons why people

36:34

continue to rate better help so highly so this month don't wait to reach out

36:39

whether you're checking in

36:41

on a friend or reaching out to a therapist yourself better help makes it easier

36:45

to take that first step

36:46

our listeners get 10 off their first month at better help dot com slash j r e

36:52

that's better h e l p dot

36:54

com slash j r e this is where you see the hypocrisy of the education system

36:59

though because they claim to be

37:01

all about diversity asians are part of diversity they're a small percentage of

37:07

the population in america

37:09

but they're fucking killing it so they tried to hold them back right because it's

37:12

bullshit that's a problem

37:13

because in their mind asians don't complain as much they're they're they get to

37:18

work more they're not

37:19

the ones that are out there organizing signs and making signs they're not doing

37:22

that they're

37:23

fucking working they don't have time to be going to these rallies and cheering

37:27

and chanting they

37:28

fucking get to work so because of that they're not as represented when it comes

37:32

to like grievances

37:33

so they they you know you can get away with being racist against them right and

37:37

you can get away with

37:37

discriminating against them in higher education universities like harvard which

37:43

is just crazy

37:44

because it shows you're lying you're not really caring about minorities you're

37:49

caring about very specific

37:51

minorities because they give you social clout to represent and to to fight for

37:56

them like if you're

37:57

fighting for black people if you're fighting for trans people those are the

38:00

people that are really noisy

38:01

right and really loud and if you're on their side good if you defend you're

38:04

virtuous yeah exactly that's

38:06

that's what it is it's performative i think about it every week almost it

38:10

sounds strange but like it can

38:11

these kind of things consume me i don't have a wife and kids you know like i

38:14

think about these things

38:15

all day but like i think about it with um like in our in our business you know

38:20

like there are so many

38:21

women who complain like oh no girls on the lineup or only two girls on the line

38:25

and i'm like there's

38:26

less of you that's all it is in fact the fact that there's less of you in our

38:32

industry is why you're

38:34

able to stand out and succeed so much quicker than your male counterparts so

38:38

yes it can feel like a

38:39

boys club because it is there's plenty of disadvantages to being a female

38:43

comedian like

38:43

putting up with these comedy club owners or working the road or like it is

38:49

their fans being creepy with

38:50

creepy fans they're different like 100 and i'm sympathetic to the things female

38:55

comics have to go

38:56

through but if they just don't understand the numbers like there's there's

39:00

girls in los angeles

39:01

who are regulars at the improv and the laugh factory and the comedy store who

39:05

have been doing it a few

39:06

years and then there's guys that i know that have been doing it 15 years who us

39:11

you know subjectively

39:13

are very very funny uh and uh subjectively funnier than them but at least inarguably

39:20

funny and they

39:21

they can't get any spots at these places because that we need more women comics

39:25

i mean we need more

39:27

diverse lineups they've literally said that we have too many white male comics

39:31

i've heard it my whole

39:32

career it's crazy yeah one time to say i was in boston and uh there was this

39:37

long line for this

39:38

festival and all this thing a little bit not uh it was to submit like to do

39:42

audition they were it was

39:44

during last comic standing times so they were doing these things where they

39:47

liked filming the line

39:47

and going look how many people are here to try out for our festival or whatever

39:50

and um someone came

39:52

out and goes listen if you're a straight white guy you better be real different

39:57

and all of us just cut

39:59

because boston we're all straight white guys and i just remember being like

40:02

well that kind of hurt my

40:03

feelings a little bit like what like what does that imply i don't know i only

40:06

know about my

40:07

circumstances stupid i can't have i can't one time my agent said this to me he

40:11

was talking

40:12

at bragging about one of his clients and he was like jeff listen man like you

40:15

know i got this one

40:16

client he's handsome he's uh his parents are deaf you know he's uh he's black

40:23

he's got all these great

40:24

things that make him very industry interesting for the industry i think you're

40:27

gonna have to like

40:28

reinvent yourself or something i was like i can't make things up like i don't

40:32

know what to tell you

40:33

that's just i'm a white guy just hollywood yeah and hollywood's influence with

40:37

the long tentacles

40:38

of the octopus but we don't do that in texas like in in the mothership it's a

40:44

meritocracy and because

40:45

it's a meritocracy it's very diverse yeah you got a lot of women on the lineup

40:49

you got a lot of

40:50

all kinds of people a lot of gay people and the one thing that people keep

40:53

saying about the the

40:54

comedy mothership is oh it's right-wing comedy club the vast majority of comics

41:00

at my club

41:01

are left-wing the vast majority yeah no i can i can they're artists personally

41:04

vouch for that yeah

41:05

yeah but they're reasonable lefties yeah they're kind people who can sit in a

41:10

room with a comic who

41:12

doesn't agree with their politics and still just be human that's that's a great

41:16

we should all aspire to

41:17

that yeah and that's what we aspire to at that club like we don't tolerate any

41:22

bullshit ideologically one side or the other it's not supposed to be about that

41:26

it's supposed to be

41:26

about the art form and you know there's like a lot of my fucking friends are

41:31

like far left i don't

41:33

care are you nice are you cool do you have interesting thoughts can we have

41:36

conversations i'm down with

41:38

that but there's this propensity this thing that people do where they just

41:43

decide you're you have a different

41:44

ideology than me so you're the enemy and i think that is one of the stupidest

41:48

things you could do

41:49

as a human being it's weak it's it's simple it's you're you're doing something

41:54

that's just too

41:55

convenient it and you're doing it because you know it'll be supported by a

41:59

bunch of other

42:00

fucking morons because we're in a tick-tock generation where most people don't

42:04

have nuanced

42:05

perspectives on things yeah like i am a christian right i've been a christian

42:09

since i was in my young

42:11

20s i talk about it in my act i talk about it in my life and guess what i have

42:16

never once crashed out

42:18

because of my seattle comedian friends going on stage and calling christians

42:24

idiots or racists

42:25

or fools or dummies i've never once gone i can't share a green room with

42:30

someone who would espouse

42:32

that type of hatred towards my faith right never once i've heard every joke

42:36

about straight white males

42:38

i've heard every and i'm nice and i can get laughs and i'm pleasant to be

42:42

around in these comedy clubs

42:44

but that's why you're doing well right and i'm now and i am but you're doing

42:48

well because you became

42:49

undeniable yeah and that's the real meritocracy aspect of comedy is that if you

42:54

kill if the audience

42:55

laughs and people keep coming to see you you have an audience right and the one

42:59

thing that drives a

43:00

lot of people crazy is they've i've done all the right things and no one comes

43:04

to see me yeah because

43:05

you forgot the one thing you might have been doing the wrong you forgot the one

43:09

thing be funny that's

43:10

it you fell into all the easy stuff all the easy stuff is align yourself with

43:14

the group all the group

43:16

think all the fucking chant all the right stuff say all the right things say

43:20

things that don't even

43:21

make sense right but so that you appear well that's what i'm saying is that

43:24

like that's the mark

43:25

the second i got passed at the comedy store multiple comics went to the to the

43:31

booker and

43:32

was like he shouldn't be here dude he does jokes about gay people and he does

43:36

jokes about yes yeah

43:37

yeah i do guess what and they kill and i get laughs and i'm but again i'm you

43:42

can still come up to me

43:44

and talk to me and like i'm i'm not i i like everybody i like trans people i

43:49

have a plenty of gay

43:50

friends i i i you know you might have jokes about straight people too though

43:54

and you are one of

43:55

them that's the thing it's also fun to be naughty isn't it yeah yeah i love

43:59

women but i trash them

44:00

pretty hard in my act you know and so the only reason i was bringing all that

44:04

up is that like

44:05

i feel like i've never once gone i can't talk to someone because of their stand-up

44:11

comedy i'm not

44:12

going to go to the improv and go mary lynn reiskib shouldn't be allowed here

44:15

because what she said

44:17

about charlie kirk and i was offended i bet if you had a conversation with her

44:20

about an actual

44:21

conversation it would be very reasonable yeah because people are people and we

44:25

should be able

44:26

to share these spaces with these people no matter what we think i'm not so far

44:29

right or so far

44:30

christian that i go i can't be in the same room that's what cult people think

44:35

also if you had a

44:36

conversation with her and confronted her with the reality of what that guy had

44:39

said right and some

44:40

of the conversations that he had with both trans people people of color all

44:45

kinds he was a very

44:46

kind person 100 the problem is you don't look kind when there's clips and the

44:51

clips show which

44:52

saying something aren't you afraid of that yeah oh yeah you listen i'm kind of

44:57

a little bit

44:58

inoculated against that because i have so many hours of me talking so does he

45:06

yeah but in a different way where people are listening to me having these three-hour

45:10

conversations

45:11

it's like it's kind of hard to label me to anybody who's paying attention and

45:15

it's just the it's also

45:17

the the benefit of having the biggest platform in the world right like it's

45:20

like there's enough people

45:22

that have seen so many shows that like i know who that guy is that's not who

45:26

that guy is

45:27

i think you're giving them a lot of uh grace because you have to i because like

45:33

people aren't you afraid

45:34

of ai no not afraid of ai what i'm afraid of is clips short context things even

45:40

recently i did howie

45:41

mandel's podcast and i got asked for the millionth time about the mark marron

45:46

thing and and i was like

45:47

what dude the the good part of that mark marron story is that we buried it i i

45:52

think who knows it'll

45:53

rear its head again i'm sure not with that guy there's no burying anything i

45:56

know but like i was

45:57

like how about that story tell that story howie that we shook hands at the

46:00

comedy store and we're

46:01

able to share a stage and not stage we share the the a room full of stages and

46:06

um it just howie's

46:09

howie mandel's team just posted the thing so you know all the comments are like

46:13

jeff die i can't

46:14

stop talking about mark marron again and like that's what i'm saying is that

46:17

charlie kirk's guilty of

46:19

or not guilty of it but a victim of it um this this short real thing that is

46:25

out of context it's not a

46:27

three-hour conversation no one's listening to trump in long form no one

46:30

listened to charlie

46:31

kirk in long form the people that were informed did but i'm saying them the the

46:35

everyday person

46:37

is kind of just kind of collecting these excerpts right and then forming a

46:42

group think about those

46:43

excerpts and the group think becomes their reality that's very true and i'm

46:47

afraid of that for you

46:49

yeah that there's that's true in some ways but it's also benefits you in some

46:55

ways too it's like

46:56

there's good and bad like there's little things that you'll say that are funny

46:59

that make it into clips

47:00

and that's good too it's like the thing like i was talking to tony about this

47:06

because we were talking

47:07

about people that complain about his show and talk about a show i go dude they

47:11

work for you they don't

47:12

realize it but they work for you they're the publicity arm the negative

47:15

publicity arm for the kill tony

47:17

show you don't worry about it and don't care yeah you can't you know write a

47:22

book on that it's teach

47:23

me how to not care you just got to get to a point where you don't have to care

47:27

anymore like it's not

47:29

going to affect you you know what i mean like but that's if you but you if you're

47:33

in that position

47:33

where i'm in that kind of sort of you're not totally ever in that position but

47:38

you're much

47:39

more in that position than the average person it's your duty to not care it's

47:43

your duty to set an

47:44

example and to say look you're supposed to be when you get to the top you're

47:47

not supposed to be

47:48

mean and like defend it and push everybody down you're supposed to lift

47:52

everybody up and be what you

47:54

would hope the guy at the top would be be supportive try to help other people's

47:59

careers

48:00

try to promote them tell everybody how cool they are tell everybody how funny

48:03

they are tell everybody

48:03

good things that you know instead of complaining all the time about about

48:07

everything find cool

48:09

shit and inform people about it tell people cool that you've seen cool

48:13

restaurants you've been

48:14

to cool music you've listened to cool people you met do that that's what i try

48:19

to do and that that's

48:21

my i that is my obligation i think as in having the top podcast you have to set

48:28

an example that's

48:29

beneficial for not just me but for everybody sure yeah this and don't care and

48:35

don't care as much

48:36

don't care as much about haters if you're gonna have haters the idea that you're

48:40

not gonna have

48:40

people that hate you is crazy fucking you could get like the one of the things

48:45

that i know from mma

48:47

the greatest fighters the best guys in their prime there's gonna be guys coming

48:52

up that say he ain't

48:53

shit i'll fuck him up i'll take him out in one round it's all there's always

48:56

that he's got no defense

48:58

he's got no chin he's got no heart he's only good when he's winning as soon as

49:01

it gets turned on him

49:02

he's gonna fold there's always someone talking and if you live your life

49:07

constantly responding to those

49:09

people it's it's a waste of that 100 that 100 units of attention and focus that

49:15

you have

49:16

you gotta protect that yeah you gotta guard that 100 units man don't let

49:22

anybody steal your units with

49:23

a comment on youtube and it's never in real life for me right it's never in

49:28

real life well that's the

49:29

problem i have to open this shit yeah before i spiral out even in my town of

49:35

los angeles you know

49:36

people go why you had this fucking dump and then i uh and then i i'm walking

49:41

around in sherman oaks

50:18

don't you think new york is that true is that true find out that number's true

50:22

50:23

and you're like is that real you know are they really gonna defund the police

50:31

51:10

hear oh i want to go to a

51:12

lake you know be able to like i'm kind of in this kind of la thing and this i'm

51:19

i could be guilty of of

51:22

being a victim of like what i'm absorbing in my algorithm but like gavin newsom

51:27

scares the

51:28

shit out of me and i i'm i'm i don't want to be a part of it yeah he wants to

51:33

run the whole country

51:35

too it's wild pretty wild and those fires were quite a wake-up call for even if

51:41

you know whatever you

51:42

believe about the fires the way it was dealt with was pretty scary it was not

51:45

competent that's for sure

51:47

even the aftermath yeah and was not competent the the conversations about

51:53

talking to

51:54

different developers about doing stuff with the land and that's what i'm

51:58

talking about it's like

51:59

what do you oh we'll make a smart town you're like that's kind of what the

52:01

conspiracy people were saying

52:03

before this stuff happened see when he's doing a little dance in front of burnt

52:06

houses like that is

52:08

are you uh sociopath because that's how sociopaths behave they're not like

52:12

totally broken up by the

52:14

fact that a giant chunk of your city burnt to the ground did 5 000 peace people

52:18

resign i don't think

52:19

they say they threatened to resign there's no credible evidence that 5 000

52:23

peace officers resigned

52:24

okay why don't you say did they threaten to resign i did when i typed it in

52:28

google and i got the same

52:30

answers oh okay um in perplexity it says did 5 000 people resign no what

52:35

actually happened official data

52:37

and statements from nypd representatives confirmed there has been no mass walkout

52:41

while police union

52:42

leaders and some critics have warned of potential wave of resignations or

52:46

feared attrition see that was

52:48

the thing social media posts alleging 5 000 officers i didn't see any that said

52:53

resign i said i saw something

52:54

that said are threatening to resign uh go back to where i was reading um at

52:59

once have been debunked

53:01

as rumors or satire nypd has about 30 33 745 uniformed officers as of late 2025

53:10

with staffing down only

53:11

slightly from the previous year so it's like maybe it's one of those things

53:17

where someone talked to some

53:19

people and they said i know a lot of guys right a lot of guys are threatening

53:22

to resign well i mean that's

53:23

a serious thing to talk about anyways whether it's true or not on the numbers

53:28

like it's not a fun

53:29

time to be a police officer for the last like like pre-black lives matter i

53:34

knew i've i know a lot of

53:35

cops just in my life i used to perform once a year for their like christmas

53:39

thing at the lapd great

53:41

audience members you want to talk about good audience members police military

53:45

nurses anyone who deals

53:46

with real life is very good audience members they can take a joke yeah oh great

53:50

taking jokes and they need

53:51

to see the humor in life you know like they're like they're looking for a clown

53:55

to laugh at because they

53:56

deal with real shit but uh that aside

53:59

in the last eight years when cops tell me they're cops at shows it's like hey

54:06

you know i'm uh i'm a

54:07

police like and i'm like what's with this embarrassment like why are you why do

54:11

you feel like you need to be

54:12

like an undercover police officer when you're like whisper it yeah why i like

54:17

cops i think that they're

54:19

great they have to go into someone's worst day of their life every day anytime

54:23

you've ever had to call

54:24

a cop it's not a great day it's not a great thing that's happening and they

54:27

have to enter someone's

54:28

worst day every 15 minutes or every hour and i have a tremendous amount of

54:33

respect for people that do

54:34

that and they they feel they feel ashamed to be a cop because they've been vaguely

54:41

blanketed as like

54:42

oppressors or racist or some sort of power hungry bad guys and that's probably

54:48

a little worse in nypd

54:50

right now as far as uh being in the city with what's going on so i imagine

54:55

there's a lot of

54:56

people who are threatening the same way whenever someone's president isn't the

54:59

president they want

55:00

they go i'm gonna move they make those kind of some people do move yeah some

55:03

people do a lot of rich

55:04

guys are really getting out of i respect rosie and ellen for that don't you

55:08

respect that every

55:09

celebrity says they're gonna leave well it's dumb that they left because now

55:12

they just can't vote and

55:13

now that you're living in ireland but at least they said what they were gonna

55:17

do you're living in

55:18

england and then your neighbors in england don't like you because they're like

55:21

yeah exactly well

55:22

that's true but at least they left move to a new place in england hundreds of

55:26

celebrities said they

55:27

would leave and didn't that's true yeah there's always a lot of that a lot of

55:30

people said they're

55:31

going to move to canada great good luck with that well now you're just america

55:34

light well you're

55:35

america communist now canada's nuts but now you're like still reliant on america

55:42

i know sad that i

55:43

wanted to look up that i just read i put this into perplexity one out of 20

55:49

deaths last year

55:50

i read this article that was saying was assisted suicide that can't be true

55:55

that can't be true

55:57

where'd you see it because aquino canada has an assisted suicide program a

56:02

national assisted

56:03

suicide program yeah could you imagine if there's some corruption in that holy

56:07

crap there's corruption in

56:09

everything jeff everything every that's a bad thing there's corruption in

56:14

religion there's right

56:16

there's corruption in science there's corruption in medicine which becomes a

56:20

great excuse to not

56:21

be a part of those things you know oh i won't even question if i was if i have

56:26

a creator because

56:27

there's fouled people in the church you're like that's so stupid well yeah um

56:32

it's accurate for

56:33

canada wow no one in 20 america canada just yeah it's canada yeah put let me

56:39

see that's still a lot

56:40

in it put those show so the perplexity look at this this is crazy medical

56:45

assistance in dying known as

56:47

made also as known as assisted suicide or euthanasia accounted for

56:52

approximately 4.7 percent of all

56:56

deaths in canada that's wild that is so crazy how do we get more specific like

57:00

what would be an example

57:02

of like we'll read into it this proportion is equivalent to about one in 20

57:06

deaths across the

57:07

country that is so fucking insane one out of 20 people who die in canada are

57:14

getting assisted

57:15

suicide how many of those fucking people you could have given mushrooms to they

57:18

could have had an

57:20

ibogaine journey maybe they could have fucking done something differently with

57:26

their life to get

57:27

them out of depression how many of them could could have gotten alternative

57:31

medical treatments that have

57:32

dealt with their condition so what are the conditions is it's did you put that

57:37

in there

57:38

average age of them is 70 77 so they're old yeah that is old but however you

57:45

know my mom's 80 she's

57:47

great you know like what what's going on yeah she doesn't want to like what but

57:52

what is it are you

57:53

not just because you're 77 are you not enjoying life or is it is it one out of

57:58

20 people are dying of a

58:00

terminal illness and i am being short-sighted because i'm not think i'm they're

58:05

like going to die soon

58:06

anyway they choose to die on their own is that the case track one is natural

58:10

death is reasonably

58:11

foreseeable and track two is not reasonably foreseeable for natural death right

58:16

um so track

58:17

two recipients this is where it gets weird because some of them were chronically

58:22

obese some of them

58:24

were chronically depressed they were doing it for people that don't really have

58:29

a disease

58:30

so what are the parameters let's let's put this ask a follow-up what do you

58:36

have to have wrong with you

58:38

to qualified for made in canada let's just ask that how do you qualify because

58:43

if it's just you're

58:44

depressed that's scary that's crazy right and then very irresponsible if you

58:49

have cancer and they're

58:51

trying to just like i'm done with my fight please help me right is what track

58:55

one is that we're talking

58:57

about track two be at least 18 years old and capable of making health care

59:01

decisions

59:01

be eligible for publicly funded health service okay that's normal voluntary

59:07

request informed

59:08

consent have a serious and incurable illness disease or disability causing

59:13

enduring and intolerable

59:15

suffering that cannot be alleviated under conditions acceptable to the person

59:19

but that's the key word

59:20

the key phrase there acceptable to the person is interesting be an advanced

59:24

state of irreversible

59:26

decline and capability okay um are people with depression just write severe are

59:33

people with severe

59:34

depression eligible for made write that

59:40

severe depression because a lot of people would say that is an incurable

59:44

disease

59:44

where would we be without the red squiggly line i don't know how to spell

59:53

anything i can't spell

59:53

anything ever i never have been jimmy you're rolling the dice with eligible you're

59:57

an animal

59:58

in canada people whose sole underlying medical condition is severe depression

1:00:04

or any other mental

1:00:05

illness are currently not eligible for medical assistance and dying this

1:00:09

temporary exclusion

1:00:11

includes psychiatric conditions like depression and personality disorders the

1:00:15

law excludes eligibility

1:00:17

for made on the basis of mental illness alone in march 17 2027 uh however

1:00:24

people with mental illnesses

1:00:26

may be eligible if they have a grievous grievous grievous or uh irremediable

1:00:32

boy that's a word

1:00:34

have you ever said that word irremediable irremediable i've never said that

1:00:38

word

1:00:38

physical but i've never even seen that irremediable physical health condition

1:00:43

that meets maids criteria

1:00:44

the government has delayed eligibility expansion for mental illness due to

1:00:48

concerns around safety and

1:00:50

appropriate safeguards uh when made for mental illness becomes lee becomes

1:00:54

legal they say it like it will

1:00:56

27 march oh okay that's what i'd read okay this was the issue that so they were

1:01:01

going to okay the law

1:01:03

the law excludes eligibility for made on the basis of mental illness alone

1:01:07

until march 17 2027 so there's

1:01:09

a year and a few months and then these people are eligible for this uh as a

1:01:14

person five severe

1:01:15

depression alone does not qualify so what it seems like is a lot of people that

1:01:19

are just not doing well

1:01:21

it's the end of their life and they're like i'd like to go out on my own that's

1:01:25

fair

1:01:26

i don't want to just walk into a library with a 44 and make people clean up or

1:01:31

they go i'm a financial

1:01:32

burden on my family right or those kind of things yeah when you're an old

1:01:35

person you feel a little

1:01:37

guilt that like ah my kids that's true and also sometimes people like one of

1:01:41

their loved ones dies

1:01:42

and they don't want to be alone they just can't they've been with this person

1:01:45

for 45 years my dad just

1:01:47

died and my mom is not doing great with the she's been with him since she was

1:01:50

17.

1:01:51

it's very hard my grandfather died one year after my grandmother died

1:01:55

and he was fine up until then and it was just like the the grief was just

1:02:01

intolerable yeah and

1:02:02

she's feeling a lot of guilt because he was kind of uh cognitively

1:02:06

i don't know i don't know how to say it politely he was just kind of not not

1:02:12

himself for the last

1:02:13

like year and so when he passed uh my mom did feel a little relief like you

1:02:20

know oh yeah i'm kind of

1:02:21

his caretaker right right and so then feel guilt about the about the relief you

1:02:25

know you know i don't

1:02:26

want to feel relieved that someone that i'm that i've known my whole life is

1:02:30

gone and then now trying

1:02:32

to mourn that you know it's very very complicated and it's real hard when

1:02:37

someone has dementia or

1:02:39

alzheimer's or anything along those lines the patience that these people have

1:02:43

to work with

1:02:44

dementia and those kind of even an eating disorder is is you know you can't

1:02:49

really communicate it to

1:02:50

the person when they have this body dysmorphia or these like it's something as

1:02:53

simple as that

1:02:53

yeah those people are saints that can work with absolutely anybody cognitively

1:02:59

or like any kind

1:03:00

of like dysphoria like that's that's i mean i i those are heroes to me because

1:03:04

i don't have the

1:03:04

patience for it i'm very like direct i'm very like want to have a good time

1:03:07

like i'm not good at being

1:03:09

like how don't you see this apparently some really promising treatments for

1:03:13

dementia and alzheimer's

1:03:15

um one of them one of those dementia or alzheimer's was the supplement of uh

1:03:22

supplementation with

1:03:23

selenium see if you can find what that is that's what i was in that glanced at

1:03:28

quickly and i was

1:03:28

like i better probably shouldn't say this on here but there's a beautiful great

1:03:33

woman named lydia who

1:03:34

i've been hanging out with and and her mom was uh had some sort of dementia or

1:03:39

some some something like

1:03:40

this and uh she gave their family had a real long debate about uh what the

1:03:46

doctor recommended was shock

1:03:48

therapy and it worked really it works for now i guess like at least like they're

1:03:54

all going wait

1:03:56

now she's saying didn't you just come over last week and we talked about that

1:03:59

like she's having

1:04:00

things like i that's why i'm saying i i don't know if i should say it on here

1:04:03

because there was a

1:04:05

positive outcome of the shock therapy yeah it's funny because someone just sent

1:04:11

me a link to a

1:04:13

documentary on shock therapy that it was a negative thing can you believe they're

1:04:16

still doing shock

1:04:16

therapy right and i said like i don't know much about that yeah you know the

1:04:20

only shock therapy

1:04:22

i've ever heard was like you hear about the horror stories i don't know right

1:04:25

one flew over the cuckoos

1:04:25

next you know those are lumbotomies though right i think that was a shock

1:04:29

therapy thing oh i thought

1:04:30

those were lumbotomies well might be it might be those we've all agreed

1:04:34

although dude they were doing

1:04:35

them long after they were out yeah because those guys wanted money the like i

1:04:40

think it was like the

1:04:41

year i was born or the year before i was born they stopped doing them i heard

1:04:45

all these stories about

1:04:46

there would be like people who would still um you know on the fringes of it

1:04:51

because they didn't want

1:04:52

to like shut down their practice so they'd be like hey you know we'll still

1:04:55

give it to you

1:04:56

he's this like basement abortion yeah and they would be like this authoritarian

1:05:00

government's not even

1:05:01

letting people have lumbotomies but we'll still do it i'm the doctor that'll

1:05:04

still do it it's

1:05:05

lobotomy is it am i saying it i think it was lumbotomy dude you know what joe

1:05:09

for for a big part

1:05:10

of my life uh i thought it was sarah bell's palsy hold on what did you just say

1:05:14

the movie was shock

1:05:15

therapy yeah it was no it was um and the sarah bell's palsy yes we're watching

1:05:21

this game or

1:05:22

something and the guy looked crazy and i go looks like he's got sarah bell's

1:05:25

palsy my friend no one

1:05:27

laughed no one left which is a good comedy note is that if you say a thing

1:05:31

wrong or it's a false

1:05:32

premise or something no one's on board with it but if you say it around comedians

1:05:35

well i said around

1:05:36

a bunch of people watching football i go looks like he's got a sarah bell's

1:05:39

palsy and everyone just

1:05:40

looked at me and then my friend katie's like did you say sarah bells and i was

1:05:43

like wasn't that what it

1:05:44

is she's like cerebral palsy and i was like i don't know i've never seen the

1:05:48

movie so i don't know how

1:05:49

it ended it says they discovered at the end he had been lobotomized right in

1:05:52

the book the big chief

1:05:53

guy was lobotomized that's the plot of the movie so the big boy yeah oh so he

1:05:57

was lobotomized but was

1:05:59

jack nicholson supposedly lobotomized as well they were just in a cuckoo house

1:06:03

yeah but at the end

1:06:04

shock therapy here right they did shock therapy but remember at the end he was

1:06:08

like totally docile

1:06:10

maybe they were letting you know he got lobotomized too probably they did that

1:06:15

forever when did they

1:06:16

stop doing lobotomies wasn't like 67 please lumbotomy lumbotomy when they

1:06:20

stopped doing lumbotomies

1:06:21

this is a thing i have what year was it i love to talk about plenty of things i

1:06:30

know and don't know

1:06:31

about you know it's fun yeah one the one doctor did almost all of them what he

1:06:35

did one third of them

1:06:36

that's a lot how many did he do how rich was he let's say let's see what was

1:06:41

his net worth he had a

1:06:42

nice he yeah i bet he had a huge yeah one-third of his 3500 lobotomies were

1:06:47

successful and 490

1:06:49

resulted in fatalities wait hold on he killed 490 people successful which ones

1:06:54

were successful

1:06:55

1:07:54

you're not gonna become like addicted to mushrooms you don't want to do

1:07:56

1:07:57

the second i did mushrooms i was sitting in the chair and i was like you guys

1:08:00

1:08:01

like what i go i just want to feel like this all the time like like you lost

1:08:04

your mind like this is

1:08:09

be legal it's the best

1:08:11

drug it's better at making people better people than anything yes all i wanted

1:08:15

to do and still

1:08:17

since then is like let's just talk and connect and like let's find a way let's

1:08:21

be nice yeah let's be

1:08:23

good let's be nice to each other nobel prize for the oh wow not the same doctor

1:08:28

1:08:30

prize that make people go ahead and get it right so they started getting him in

1:08:34

35 and then 49

1:08:36

dr moniz won the nobel prize for it yeah and so dr freeman was the guy who did

1:08:41

one third of them

1:08:41

yeah he made it a 10 minute procedure nice in and out nice it's quick come in

1:08:46

you got an appointment

1:08:47

at noon coming at 11 now i'll be there drooling in the parking lot at 11 35 it's

1:08:53

like a chiropractor

1:08:54

just come in we'll get the yeah we'll snap fast you'll be at chipotle in no

1:08:57

time i keep reading

1:08:58

stories about people that get paralyzed forever because of chiropractors oh

1:09:02

really there's been

1:09:02

a ton of those stories do you ever go to them you're a body guy that's no i don't

1:09:06

go to them anymore

1:09:06

all right i went to them back in the day before i read up on how chiropractors

1:09:11

learn you know when

1:09:12

they say i'm a doctor they don't go to medical school for three seconds that's

1:09:16

why i hate all

1:09:17

those arguments of authority you're not a scientist you're not it's like well

1:09:20

neither they kind of

1:09:21

like something's like invented by a magnetic healer who was a kook who learned

1:09:27

about it in a seance he

1:09:29

was a complete kook and then he was killed by his son who was a con man his son

1:09:33

ran him over with a

1:09:34

car and then his son took over the business and that's the and then it got

1:09:39

grandfathered in and

1:09:40

he won an obel piece but he got grandfathered in so but here's the thing

1:09:45

manipulating the body in a

1:09:47

positive way like adjusting you has some benefits deep tissue massage has a lot

1:09:52

of benefits like

1:09:54

manipulating tissue i get a trigger point massage really painful but it's very

1:09:58

effective there's real

1:10:00

benefits to it so there's things that chiropractors do that do have like a real

1:10:05

beneficial effect on

1:10:06

your body being able to recover but the claims at least in the beginning are

1:10:12

nuts the initial claims

1:10:13

it's gonna cure leukemia thyroid cancer they're just gonna adjust your back it's

1:10:19

a c4 c5 disconnection

1:10:20

pop and then they grab you and yank your neck it's so scary and sometimes

1:10:23

people have fucking

1:10:24

hemorrhages from these things because they violently yank your neck and a blood

1:10:28

vessel pops you have a

1:10:29

fucking stroke yeah and that's not happened just once it's happened a bunch of

1:10:34

times i grew up playing

1:10:35

video games too where i and watching all these action movies you know and i

1:10:38

thought that just twisting

1:10:39

a guy's head like you know like you kill him you think that's all it took you

1:10:42

know like i snuck up

1:10:43

behind that guy in the video game and just that's all i did meanwhile chiropractors

1:10:47

he's doing all

1:10:48

all day yeah you ever seen him do it to babies no oh my god it's so crazy

1:10:52

people that are like

1:10:53

full-on nuts have their babies brought to a chiropractor and the chiropractor

1:10:57

is adjusting the baby's

1:10:59

skull and moving the baby's i'm like yo your parental ideas of like they're all

1:11:05

scrapped like you're

1:11:06

supposed to keep it safe the idea of handing it to a chiropractor believe it

1:11:10

they believe it and so

1:11:11

they think they're doing a good thing jamie am i allowed to ask jamie to bring

1:11:14

things up yeah

1:11:15

fuck you jamie can you bring up some uh dog chiropractors have you seen this

1:11:20

yeah and the

1:11:21

dogs look at the chiropractor like what'd you just do but also i do feel a

1:11:24

little bit better the

1:11:25

dog's so sweet about it like i think i'm good actually you gotta get the right

1:11:29

dog a lot of pit

1:11:30

bulls because they're all strong and shit and so like they'll just adjust it

1:11:33

yeah i've seen like

1:11:34

montages of it and it's pretty adorable why is he gonna do this dog's neck

1:11:39

please don't

1:11:40

oh no no no no no no and look at the dog looking up at i don't think you need

1:11:45

to do that to that

1:11:46

dog i don't think that's necessary watch this look the way he looks at him but

1:11:50

here's the thing like

1:11:50

what studies are they showing where this is all good that's a belgium malinois

1:11:55

bro you can't hear it

1:11:56

but it goes i don't want to hear it it's i don't i don't know if that does

1:12:02

anything i don't know if

1:12:03

that's good i think if you got your dog a massage it'd be really good for them

1:12:07

yeah i think all that

1:12:08

snapping and the popping like are you loosening it up and making it more mobile

1:12:12

well if that's the case

1:12:13

you can do that with spinal decompression and massage i have this thing i've

1:12:18

been doing it with my

1:12:18

friends dogs and they've been loving it i put this thing on my neck i'm like

1:12:21

don't do that you're

1:12:22

gonna get a bitch i put this thing on my head it goes underneath my chin it's

1:12:26

got a like a rope

1:12:27

oh yeah a hoop that hangs on my chin up bar and i just i've seen them advertise

1:12:32

it because you use

1:12:33

it oh there you go oh look at this he's giving his dog a back crack oh bro that's

1:12:40

the camel's clutch

1:12:41

that dog is sweet he's letting you do your nonsense dude this guy dogs just

1:12:45

love getting rubbed that's

1:12:47

all it is yeah that's all petting is is kind of a massage you know that's what

1:12:50

they love they love

1:12:51

massages they don't have to pretend they don't you love massages too everybody

1:12:54

does we don't have to

1:12:55

ask them about that they like it if we were like dogs everybody would just lie

1:12:57

down on the floor and

1:12:58

let people rub them yeah it'd be fine you come over my house dude marshall will

1:13:02

lie down immediately

1:13:02

and let you rub them that's my favorite thing about dogs he assumes you want to

1:13:05

rub his belly yeah

1:13:06

dogs don't go this guy's probably who do you vote for no dogs aren't ever like

1:13:11

worried my dog go up to

1:13:13

like a homeless they don't care what's up homeless guy yeah it's like he loves

1:13:17

them yeah they're they're the

1:13:18

the best but we don't deserve them but i don't think they should go to a chiropractor

1:13:22

but people

1:13:23

that think that you should bring your doctor it's because they believe in the

1:13:26

chiropractors there's

1:13:27

a great article called uh chiropractors are bullshit um pull that article up

1:13:32

the lady who wrote it

1:13:34

was on the podcast and she i read the article and then i had her explain it to

1:13:37

me yeah it was back in

1:13:38

la and i was like oh this is a nutty thing i thought they were doctors yeah it's

1:13:43

not different

1:13:44

i went to one of those ones it's called the joint and you know you can just

1:13:47

like you can just walk in

1:13:48

and they'll do it and this is i think a lot of it for me was placebo like i

1:13:52

just thought like oh they

1:13:53

told me this is good for me so i'm doing it you know i wasn't having pain or

1:13:57

anything eve detremont is

1:13:58

the lady who was on the podcast that wrote this article but it's it's crazy i

1:14:03

like the title it's a

1:14:04

crazy very direct when you read the story of how it was invented you're like

1:14:08

this is nuts because it's one

1:14:09

of those things that's just grandfathered in and if you're allowed to be doctor

1:14:13

like we should be

1:14:14

doctors of comedy would you like to be dr jeff jeff md dude yeah i'm wait not md

1:14:18

what would it be

1:14:19

you're giving people laughter which is the best medicine sure so i think we

1:14:23

should get doctors

1:14:24

of comedy maybe we should do that like at the mothership just start handing out

1:14:28

doctorates of

1:14:28

comedy that's how you get past kind of you get a you headline you do your first

1:14:32

theater tour i'll

1:14:33

give you a doctor i worked under ron white and then i got my i mentored under ron

1:14:37

white

1:14:38

exactly ron white was patient zero here because ron moved out here before the

1:14:43

pandemic really yeah he's

1:14:45

the reason why i decided to move out here because uh you know ron and i have

1:14:49

been real close forever

1:14:50

and knowing him from the comedy store he was always like one of the coolest

1:14:53

guys to hang out with

1:14:54

he's the best and so we were hanging out in the back bar and he was telling me

1:14:58

he's moving to texas

1:14:59

like what what are you doing you're here don't go this is nuts he's like oh it's

1:15:04

the best he goes i

1:15:05

want to keep my house out here in beverly hills but this fucking place is the

1:15:09

food's the best the

1:15:11

people are nice if i want to fly i'm in the middle right it's three hours here

1:15:15

three hours and i was

1:15:16

like damn he's got a good point so when the shit started getting weird in la

1:15:19

and they were burning

1:15:20

cop cars on on the freeway that's when daddy was like those are the scary ones

1:15:24

i gotta get out of

1:15:25

here yeah you know because so i my kids are little you know 10 and 12 at the

1:15:29

time the little ones

1:15:31

and i was like this is dangerous and we all agreed like it just doesn't feel

1:15:34

right i don't feel like

1:15:35

they're gonna open this up i think this is bullshit let's get the fuck out of

1:15:39

here it's not like you're

1:15:39

an actor exactly right exactly i was like you acted but you weren't an actor i

1:15:44

wasn't interested in

1:15:45

doing it anymore i and we were flying a lot of the guests out anyway and i was

1:15:50

like i'll figure it

1:15:51

out i'll do zoom calls i don't want to do this right i don't want to live here

1:15:54

i want to live

1:15:55

my life i'd be happy making less money and and doing it somewhere else and

1:15:59

maybe it's not as good

1:16:01

have you thought about making other motherships as we did we have we've talked

1:16:05

about where we

1:16:06

talked about new york um we've talked about vegas what about florida we've

1:16:09

talked here's the thing

1:16:12

to do it i mean this is just like based on what we've done in austin right what

1:16:17

we did in austin

1:16:18

is a once in a lifetime opportunity where we hit every green light every green

1:16:22

light along the way

1:16:24

we we got in the right spot so like the only way this club happens first of all

1:16:30

is i'm friends with

1:16:31

adam egott and i've been friends with adam egott from back when he was he was

1:16:35

running the improv in um

1:16:38

tempe so that's when i knew him i knew him from back then and then he came to

1:16:43

california and he started

1:16:44

working at the comedy store when i had already been banned so i had been banned

1:16:48

and i had gone

1:16:48

on my seven-year exodus and he came to meet me at the improv they showed you by

1:16:52

the way what comedy

1:16:54

store they really showed you so he came to meet me at the improv he's like dude

1:16:59

come back it's you

1:17:00

know i'm i'm there now i'm the talent coordinator and i thought about it and

1:17:04

then i wound up coming

1:17:05

back because of ari because you know ari shafir is one of my closest friends

1:17:09

and he was filming his

1:17:11

special there and i had known ari since he was a doorman i knew him when he was

1:17:16

a doorman there and

1:17:17

now he's filming a special i'm like i don't give a fuck i have to be there i

1:17:21

have to be there for him

1:17:22

and uh i went there a day before just so i could relax because it was weird

1:17:27

because i hadn't been

1:17:28

there in seven years and you know it was super friendly hugged everybody it was

1:17:32

great and then and

1:17:34

then i saw ari and ari killed and the special was awesome and it was just such

1:17:40

a it was such a happy

1:17:41

moment to see him like accomplish this thing going from being a doorman to

1:17:46

having your own comedy

1:17:48

central special while he's also doing a show on comedy central that's what he's

1:17:52

doing this is not

1:17:53

happening yeah i was on that so it was like i had to come back so that that was

1:17:58

2014 and becoming

1:18:02

really good friends with adam and knowing him from the improv like knowing him

1:18:05

from back in the day

1:18:06

and then becoming friends with him when he was the account coordinator we had

1:18:09

talked about like what

1:18:10

are the problems with running a club like what is the problems with like people

1:18:13

telling you oh you have

1:18:14

to have more of this on your show or more that on your show or you're

1:18:18

problematic and people getting

1:18:19

mad about this mad about that i'm like it's got to be a meritocracy as much as

1:18:23

that bothers some

1:18:24

people the people that bothers they're never good right david tells never

1:18:28

complaining about diversity

1:18:30

you know what i'm saying it's like the people that are complaining generally

1:18:34

they're mediocre at best

1:18:36

and he was like you're right i go but you can't give into them because there's

1:18:39

a lot of them

1:18:40

and they yell and they you know they make it seem like it's a big deal but the

1:18:44

big deal is

1:18:44

laughs being doing good comedy being having an original idea being funny here's

1:18:50

the world through my eyes

1:18:51

this is how i've crafted it for you that's all it is everything else is a

1:18:55

fucking distraction

1:18:57

and we both agreed on that and so wouldn't the comedy store shut down and then

1:19:01

i moved out here

1:19:03

there was a like a long time where i was like i don't know what to do like do i

1:19:07

stop doing comedy

1:19:08

now and just do this podcast like no one's doing comedy it was months and

1:19:12

months of no comedy

1:19:13

and then dave and i started doing shows at stubs so dave was like i want to do

1:19:17

a show at stubs

1:19:19

let's do like a residency there i'm like fuck yeah let's do it so he and i did

1:19:22

like we had done a ton

1:19:23

of shows a bunch of arena shows before the pandemic together and so the stubs

1:19:28

thing came along and i

1:19:29

was like okay yeah let's just do this all right we're doing this now and i

1:19:32

guess we're doing comedy

1:19:33

again and then we started doing comedy at the vulcan and the vulcan is indoor

1:19:39

and it's loud and it's

1:19:40

rowdy and it was naughty like it was crazy you're doing a november 2020 indoor

1:19:46

show punk rock and so when that

1:19:48

was happening then everybody started moving here then everything then

1:19:52

everything got weird and i was

1:19:53

like whoa we got like tom segura moved here duncan trussell moved here tony hinchcliffe

1:19:58

moved here

1:19:58

brian simpson moved here i was like whoa we got a crew here derek poston moved

1:20:03

here asana mod moved

1:20:04

here i'm like we got a real crew here and then it just kept escalating tim dylan

1:20:09

came it was like over

1:20:11

and over again joe de rosa came shane killis came it was like and so while all

1:20:15

this was happening where all

1:20:17

these guys were at least talking about moving there they're like it feels

1:20:20

better here like the scene

1:20:21

feels more alive because the la was still shut down and so then ron white

1:20:27

basically like grabbed me by

1:20:29

the shoulders one night after he hadn't done stand-up in like six months and he

1:20:33

grabs me goes whatever the

1:20:34

fuck we have to do we're gonna keep doing this you gotta open up a club i'm

1:20:37

like we're gonna open up a club

1:20:39

let's go and then that's how it all started but we had to hit every light like

1:20:44

adam had to be out

1:20:45

of a job all the people that we got from the comedy store that were great we

1:20:48

brought over a bunch of

1:20:49

people right they all had to be out of a job right so the comedy store had to

1:20:52

be closed otherwise why

1:20:53

would you leave the comedy store it's the greatest place on earth yeah so then

1:20:56

it was like everything

1:20:57

else had to be closed down so the the comics knew that they could do stand-up

1:21:01

in texas and so like

1:21:02

well let's just go to texas and it just people decided i like doing stand-up

1:21:06

more than i like living

1:21:08

in la yeah and then once they came out here they really i think i like it out

1:21:11

here better it is it's

1:21:13

amazing we've got also my favorite thing about the scene here is the mothership

1:21:19

helps everything around

1:21:21

as well so i can't get over every time that i've been here how inviting how

1:21:28

cool all the young comics

1:21:30

are all these guys who would chew off their arm to get a spot at your club are

1:21:37

here for it and

1:21:38

they're here at these other places they're doing all these other things because

1:21:41

they believe in what

1:21:43

the mothership's doing and there's all this other stuff so it has the most buzz

1:21:47

as far not buzz that's

1:21:48

a stupid word it has the it has a feeling it has like this vibe it has this

1:21:52

aura whereas like that used

1:21:54

to be in new york and that used to be in la and i don't feel it in those places

1:21:58

anymore i'm actually

1:21:59

lucky that i can go to the cellar and i can go do the stand and i can do those

1:22:02

things i can go to the

1:22:03

comedy store i go to the improv i'm at a place where they'll have me but there's

1:22:06

not like a bunch

1:22:07

of young guys doing small shows and excited at the idea of even going over to

1:22:11

the store after their

1:22:12

spots your club has that well there's a couple things it has an advantage of

1:22:16

right one is kill tony

1:22:18

that's the biggest advantage the big advantage of there's a show that's monday

1:22:22

night that is

1:22:23

the biggest live comedy show on planet earth and you might be able to get on it

1:22:27

and if you've got

1:22:28

a tight minute and you could kill they're going to ask you back and if you've

1:22:31

got another tight minute

1:22:33

oh my god you might have a career exactly you might have a career and that's

1:22:37

happened time and time

1:22:39

again like cam patterson is on snl right now yes sir and that came straight out

1:22:43

of kill tony 100 and you

1:22:45

you know and cam is super fucking talented but so is hans kim so is a lot of

1:22:49

william montgomery

1:22:50

there's a lot of people coming out of there that are that do great and they

1:22:54

they have a real career

1:22:55

now ari maddie has a real career now it's amazing casey rocket it's an amazing

1:23:01

resource 100 so that's

1:23:03

the big one is that there's a real pathway and then there's also two nights of

1:23:07

open mic night two

1:23:08

nights so we make sure we have plenty of open mic night time yeah you get to do

1:23:12

an open mic night the

1:23:13

best club in the world and then on top of that it's like the club is the only

1:23:17

club that i know of

1:23:18

that was designed not to make money all i wanted to do is break even i'm like i

1:23:24

just don't want to

1:23:25

lose any money you know because it's so much money to make a club and build it

1:23:29

in the first place you

1:23:30

have to buy a building you have to hire all these people to fix it and turn it's

1:23:33

a lot of money invested

1:23:35

i'm like i just want to lose a lot of money which is why a lot of owners have

1:23:37

terrible reputations

1:23:39

because they do all these corner cutting or they do like they're trying to fuck

1:23:42

you yeah and

1:23:42

so yeah but they're also desperate in a way like these guys they'll you know i

1:23:47

i like club owners

1:23:48

but there's a lot of crazy club owners and they're they feel that pressure of

1:23:52

like i got to keep this

1:23:53

alive i don't want to keep losing money i used to tell comics be nice to club

1:23:57

owners because you don't

1:23:58

want to be one yeah you do not want to be one that's a great way but you're

1:24:02

doing it honorably

1:24:03

i do the way i'm lucky that i have the other ways of making a living right most

1:24:08

club owners they're club

1:24:10

owner by definition that's what they do for a job this is not what i do for a

1:24:14

job this is just i do this

1:24:15

for literally to make a comedy environment right so it's the the club is set up

1:24:20

so the comedians get

1:24:21

most of the money because that's how it should be it's great people aren't

1:24:25

coming to see drinks

1:24:26

right they're coming to see a guy do his art a woman do her art on stage yep so

1:24:32

that person should get

1:24:33

most of the money and that's how it should be and it should be that way because

1:24:38

it's the right way to

1:24:39

do it and because it builds the art form you have more people making money so

1:24:43

they don't have to leave

1:24:44

as much they don't have to go out of town as much they can stay in town and

1:24:48

develop and work on new

1:24:49

stuff and there's all these satellite rooms there's the sunset strip that's

1:24:53

right down the street from

1:24:55

us you could walk there in three minutes that's red bands clubs killing creek

1:24:59

in the cage is an

1:25:00

awesome spot that's where gillis filmed his first youtube special he filmed it

1:25:04

it's amazing it's a

1:25:05

great club that's another club we did a lot during the pandemic and then you've

1:25:10

got all these other

1:25:11

clubs cap city's a great fucking club that's just 20 minutes away they're all

1:25:15

there's a bunch of

1:25:15

these satellite rooms all around this place that are killing it right now yeah

1:25:20

because comedy is a fun

1:25:22

thing to do and people love you know and we can do it in a way where it's not

1:25:27

connected to hollywood

1:25:29

it's not connected to movies it's not connected to tv it's an art form in and

1:25:34

of itself that had been

1:25:35

prostituted out for so long that people thought like the golden goose was be a

1:25:40

late night talk show

1:25:42

host that was the golden goose a job that i wouldn't there's no way i would if

1:25:47

they doubled

1:25:47

my money i'd be like i'm not doing that i can't do it it's not me right when it's

1:25:52

also not really

1:25:52

stand-up so so many times like people are like so do you want to like is it are

1:25:56

you doing this because

1:25:57

of like you want to be a movie stars i was like no i'm doing it because i love

1:26:00

stand-up comedy yeah

1:26:02

i just watched the starting five of um it's called starting five on netflix but

1:26:06

they follow nba players

1:26:07

and the annoying part is like their wives and girlfriends that i think that's

1:26:10

the annoying

1:26:11

part like i want to hear them talk about basketball like the thing they love

1:26:14

right that inspires me

1:26:16

because i look at the way i pursue comedy the way they pursue their basketball

1:26:20

you know like their

1:26:21

career so anyways but what i was inspired by was like kevin durant who i

1:26:24

thought i hated my whole

1:26:26

life was awesome he just wants to play basketball like that's all it is for him

1:26:30

he's like yeah i'm

1:26:32

i just want to go out there and hoop and he keeps going to that thing of like

1:26:35

man i don't

1:26:35

want to have these arguments in barbershops about the greatest ever or any of

1:26:39

those things i he makes

1:26:41

money but it's not about the money for him and it's not about the chicks those

1:26:44

are all symptoms

1:26:45

of what he pursues and i love that because i'm like yeah i just love the joke

1:26:50

part i love that i can

1:26:51

write a bit and then that night try it and people love it or they go what an

1:26:56

interesting idea or that's

1:26:58

funny or that's naughty or that's i've never thought of it like that when you

1:27:01

know when you're campaigning

1:27:03

on a political trail or whatever like when you go to like the trump rally or

1:27:07

when i don't know what

1:27:09

kamala harris called her thing but those aren't undecided voters those are

1:27:13

people who are there

1:27:14

because they're already in you're not even talking to anyone who's considering

1:27:19

voting for anyone else

1:27:20

when you go to a thing like that but with stand-up comedy when they're in that

1:27:23

audience they're just

1:27:24

looking at you and going hey bro bring me some jokes yeah and so i can now do

1:27:29

jokes about what

1:27:30

i think and what i believe and the crowd will listen to me and decide if i'm

1:27:36

not funny or funny

1:27:37

but you're getting into their ear you're getting into them going i've never

1:27:41

thought of it like that

1:27:42

that guy was making some pretty good uh jokes up there about a subject that i

1:27:45

thought i wouldn't

1:27:47

hear you know like it's just like i think comedy is such a gift that way but i

1:27:50

was like i was like

1:27:51

like i think i'm like kevin to rent i i like the girls and i like the money and

1:27:54

i like all i love

1:27:55

all that stuff but for me i i did a spot here uh i can't remember what it was

1:28:00

and they were like

1:28:01

dude we can't thank you enough for coming and i was like what are you talking

1:28:03

about like i get up on

1:28:04

any fucking stage and he tried to slide me money i'll give it to the other guys

1:28:07

like i came to do this

1:28:09

because i was happy you to have me on like i just couldn't that's a great

1:28:12

attitude yeah it's so much

1:28:14

better to just so much better to tell jokes yeah i don't need to be famous uh

1:28:18

that would be a good

1:28:19

symptom that'd be a great symptom of it but like it also comes with its own

1:28:22

problems you know all

1:28:25

those other stuff yeah yeah all those stuff but that's the best attitude is

1:28:29

just love what you do

1:28:30

love what you do and all the success comes because of it but the moment you

1:28:34

start thinking about the

1:28:35

success only and then making decisions based only on getting and attaining more

1:28:40

success instead of

1:28:41

thinking about the thing yeah you know and that's what they do they seduce you

1:28:44

they go want to be in

1:28:45

this movie i want to be those are the hyenas like you were saying the hyenas

1:28:49

they circle but i don't

1:28:50

want to be an actor and thank you for the opportunity and i love that you

1:28:53

believe you can make some

1:28:54

money off me by putting me in that but for me walking my ass into a place that

1:29:00

has a stage and

1:29:00

a microphone and being able to be naughty and say anything i'd like and and

1:29:05

make jokes is so exciting

1:29:06

to me if they put a billion dollars in my bank account tomorrow i'll still go

1:29:09

do my spot tonight

1:29:10

at the mothership and fat man and if tomorrow they said jeff you make zero

1:29:14

dollars doing this you

1:29:15

might want to find a day job i'll go okay but i'm still doing my spot right

1:29:18

like i'm still gonna do

1:29:19

it no matter what yeah yeah i just love it yeah i would do it forever it's the

1:29:24

most fun art form yeah

1:29:25

you know and the fact that we're fortunate enough to be able to do it and make

1:29:28

money doing it is

1:29:29

incredible you should be happy yeah if you're complaining you're missing out oh

1:29:35

dude i i won't say this

1:29:36

comic's name because uh you know i just don't want any trouble with this guy

1:29:40

but i remember i was at a

1:29:41

festival and um and i'm more criticizing his attitude on that night uh we're in

1:29:47

the green room and they

1:29:49

were like so excited to have him because he's a very funny guy and very

1:29:51

talented and they said um they

1:29:53

go so how much time do you want to do he was like how much time am i contracted

1:29:58

to do and they were

1:29:59

like oh well you know you you're booked for 45 minutes but i was just letting

1:30:03

you know you're

1:30:04

the end of the show and everyone's here to see you so just do whatever you want

1:30:06

he goes then i'm doing

1:30:08

the 45 minutes and i remember thinking the fuck is wrong with you like they're

1:30:14

they're happy you're

1:30:15

here everyone is excited yeah just if you tell me that bro i'm on stage for two

1:30:21

hours 45 minutes

1:30:23

it's good but i'm gonna stay up there you know because i like being up there

1:30:26

yeah it's fun

1:30:27

boo it's not you're not pouring concrete dude like you you get to go tell jokes

1:30:33

to these people

1:30:33

like what an exciting job you have that's exciting i think where that comes

1:30:38

from is like in the

1:30:39

beginning it's like really hard it's hard to do it's hard to get paid it's hard

1:30:45

and then you build up

1:30:46

a resentment to the point where even after you make it you take it for granted

1:30:51

and now you think like

1:30:53

what do i have to do 45 minutes and that's what i'm doing crazy yeah yeah you

1:30:56

like instead of like

1:30:57

wow i made it i actually i could actually get paid to go do comedy now i'll get

1:31:02

45 minutes not

1:31:03

important okay i'll go around have some fun that's gonna have some exactly like

1:31:07

that's so i i've worked

1:31:08

at hollywood video i've worked at any coffee shop that was like i've had over

1:31:12

like 40 different coffee

1:31:14

jobs because i just couldn't keep a job like i was always living somewhere

1:31:17

different or like pursuing

1:31:18

comedy so aggressively that like i just needed a job so i was good at getting

1:31:22

the job and then i would

1:31:23

fuck off or do something stupid and i'd get like let go or i'd move and just

1:31:27

ghost that job you know

1:31:28

i've had all these jobs but whether it was hollywood video or rock bottom

1:31:32

brewery or whether it was

1:31:34

any of these million coffee shops i worked at i was always the fun guy at the

1:31:39

job that made friends

1:31:40

with everyone and goofed off because it's more fun to have a good attitude at

1:31:43

work and like the job

1:31:45

than it is to hate the job right because because not because the job was great

1:31:49

but because it's going

1:31:51

to be a better experience here if i like it if i at least trick myself into

1:31:55

liking it there's not

1:31:56

it wasn't my dream to put movies in alphabetical order with dyslexia in a hollywood

1:32:01

video but

1:32:02

i want to enjoy my job like that was more fun to like be happy to be there so

1:32:08

now we get to do

1:32:09

comedy which is the dream and you're you have that attitude like i just can't

1:32:13

get my mind around that

1:32:15

well there's some people that think they have to be miserable to be good

1:32:17

there's a weird thing that i think uh some artists feel like they have to kind

1:32:23

of suffer

1:32:24

in order to be funny like they have to be upset they have to be angry i used to

1:32:29

think that when i was

1:32:30

when i was i was really young and dumb um i was thinking that maybe like i

1:32:37

should stop meditating

1:32:38

because if i meditate and achieve any kind of enlightenment i won't think i don't

1:32:43

think things

1:32:43

are so annoying anymore that i could on them on stage which is like a big part

1:32:48

of my act yeah you

1:32:49

didn't want to be happy because you would find yeah yeah that but that was me

1:32:53

at 21 or whatever

1:32:54

it was yeah well jerry seinfeld who's one of my favorites ever uh despite any

1:32:58

of his political

1:32:59

beliefs or any of those things like i really really respect every time jerry

1:33:02

seinfeld talks on podcasts

1:33:03

or interviews or whatever because he's like buddha of comedy like the way he

1:33:08

talks about work ethic

1:33:09

the way he talks about joke writing the way he's very disciplined he's very

1:33:12

good so i always hang on

1:33:13

everything jerry says like in those things i think he's the best look up

1:33:16

anytime he's been interviewed

1:33:17

but jerry although he's clean right he's a clean comic and although he's a

1:33:23

husband and a dad and no

1:33:25

matter what he's labeled as he seems to be very at peace in his life and very

1:33:29

successful and rich

1:33:30

he does have this edge to him there still is like an irritability yeah and i

1:33:34

think that's probably what

1:33:35

you were thinking at 21 of like i need that i need to be but you could well he's

1:33:41

also smart and he's

1:33:42

talking to morons all the time and that's how you get an edge like that yeah

1:33:45

probably doesn't have

1:33:46

like a tight crew of cool people that he could just chill with sure i agree you

1:33:50

get alienated you're

1:33:51

you're worth a billion dollars smarter than kids right but you also you you got

1:33:55

you made a billion

1:33:55

dollars from a sitcom you did in the 90s you never have to work again for a day

1:33:58

in your

1:33:59

fucking life you have a hundred porsches right you're just collecting porsches

1:34:02

you're bored as

1:34:02

fuck and then morons want to say you know what my favorite episode was like i

1:34:06

don't

1:34:07

fucking care all day yeah i don't want to hear this anymore i'm sure you get

1:34:10

that all the time

1:34:11

someone wants to tell you a story about a thing and you go i don't know well i

1:34:14

think i'm a

1:34:14

little more tolerant than him yeah yeah but he's i get it i get why he would be

1:34:20

a little prickly like

1:34:21

some of the questions are really stupid like for sure there was a big racism

1:34:24

controversy about his

1:34:25

show right comedians in cars drinking coffee which is why i'm surprised he wasn't

1:34:30

he's not more vocal

1:34:31

about that but he did a great thing like he's like i don't care speak the

1:34:34

language of funny if

1:34:35

you're funny i don't care what you are which is the right answer and a lot of

1:34:37

people like oh that

1:34:38

sounds racist that's a great answer this is great if that's racist this is you're

1:34:43

expecting something

1:34:44

that you're not going to get which you're expecting people to abandon meritocracy

1:34:48

in the most meritocracy

1:34:50

based art form you could like you have to have a specific response from people

1:34:54

right you have to

1:34:54

get a laugh yeah and you're creating it all yourself like there's no talking it's

1:34:59

just you yeah that's

1:35:00

it and so if it's comedians that you think are funny and they happen to be

1:35:05

whatever it's just who's

1:35:07

funny because everything else is bullshit this idea there's not enough women

1:35:11

there's not enough

1:35:11

black people there's not enough it's insane stop right stop yeah wait there was

1:35:16

an interview that goes

1:35:18

what do you say to the people who criticize that you don't have enough people

1:35:22

of color or blah blah blah

1:35:24

um and then he goes i don't know i'm looking at your audience a lot of whiteys

1:35:28

in here that's what

1:35:29

he said oh it's the best because it's like it's so true so true look at your

1:35:33

friend groups look at

1:35:34

your life yeah fuck off when you start running it through everyone's genitals

1:35:38

and skin color

1:35:39

you could you could call every culture racist right i went to my buddy's uh

1:35:43

family barbecue who's uh

1:35:44

polynesian you know he's pacific islander guy uh one real diverse family

1:35:49

reunion right because that's

1:35:51

the beauty of a culture is that you kind of have the whole point of having a

1:35:55

culture is to have some

1:35:56

advantages i can't just wander into your family's thing and go how come there's

1:36:01

no more there's not

1:36:02

any filipinos here right it's just that's not how it works i would say that i

1:36:06

think i i've said a

1:36:07

couple times on stage but like i wonder if like liberals go to like japan and

1:36:11

they're like this is

1:36:12

disgusting you know it's all japanese people here it's not very diverse yeah i

1:36:16

wonder do they go to

1:36:18

russia oh my gosh where's the diversity here like that's not how things work no

1:36:23

there's a lot of

1:36:25

countries that aren't diverse at all and it's fine as long as they're black you

1:36:28

know what i mean it's

1:36:30

like all black it's totally fine but all like poland's a problem that's a real

1:36:34

problem yeah it's insane

1:36:35

to me yeah well it's people are just weird you know and look racism is bad so

1:36:40

because race it was

1:36:41

because actual racism is bad people look for racism all sorts of places and

1:36:46

then they start deciding

1:36:47

that things are racist or you know they could do with a lot of stuff like you

1:36:50

know we were talking

1:36:51

about this the other day this idea of silence is violence like shut the fuck up

1:36:54

that's crazy

1:36:55

nobody ever punched you then yeah i'll show you some yeah then you'll go hey

1:36:59

can we go back

1:36:59

to the uh silence come to the ufc with me i'll show you what like this is see

1:37:03

that's what violence

1:37:04

is yeah this is way this is a sport of it these are nice people like that's

1:37:08

actual violence

1:37:08

it's not fucking words it's definitely not silence sticks and stones may break

1:37:13

my bones but names

1:37:14

will never hurt me and then they start using sticks and stones you go let's go

1:37:17

back to names i'm happy

1:37:19

with names there was less blood when you were calling me names yeah you're you're

1:37:24

being silly

1:37:25

silence is not violence you fucking idiot that's so dumb it's silence is just

1:37:29

silence you can't

1:37:30

fucking it's pretty nice but it shows what you want is what you want force

1:37:33

people to comply

1:37:34

you want to force people to say what you want them to say right put that black

1:37:37

square on your

1:37:38

instagram power exactly yeah yeah yeah and it's a bunch of losers it's usually

1:37:42

a bunch of losers at

1:37:43

the wheel that bus yeah and they're going right off the cliff and they want to

1:37:46

bring you with them

1:37:47

like what are you doing not a fun place not fun yeah don't like it that's not

1:37:51

the world we live in

1:37:52

yeah or it's not the universe that comics like to live in at all that's the

1:37:56

other thing about all these

1:37:57

people pushing all these different things to call everybody and uh an ist or

1:38:02

whatever the fuck you are

1:38:03

and how you have a phobia whatever it is all these people seem to be miserable

1:38:08

yeah yeah they don't

1:38:10

seem very happy in the same world they're proud of their anger which is odd

1:38:14

yeah it's like find

1:38:15

some things to love okay there's a lot to love in this world comic went on and

1:38:18

killed tony last night

1:38:19

he was so great and i am remiss that i don't remember his name and he was able

1:38:24

to rattle off which

1:38:25

i'm sure he's done before it's probably in his act but he was able to rattle

1:38:28

off all his interests

1:38:30

he's like oh i'm in you know universal studios let's go monster truck rally let's

1:38:34

do it and i was

1:38:35

like i immediately wanted to be friends with this guy because i'm like that's

1:38:38

how i want to live

1:38:38

i live or i mean i do live like that and i was like dude i can identify with

1:38:42

this so much the little

1:38:44

kid in me is like yeah whatever it is let's go i go to the gay pride parade i've

1:38:47

got a lot of gay

1:38:48

friends let's fucking do it like like whatever it is right that's so much

1:38:51

better of an attitude

1:38:53

just like let's let's do it all let's let's let's jump in these things like

1:38:56

that's so much more fun

1:38:58

then going we're not going there because of this and we're not doing that

1:39:00

because of this and this

1:39:01

is probably it's like it's too exhausting well a lot of people like being

1:39:05

exhausted because it keeps

1:39:07

them active they've got something to think about it's their sports yeah it is

1:39:11

you know politics for

1:39:12

a lot of people is their sport and it's not just their sports it's like their

1:39:15

fanatical red sox fans

1:39:17

it's their religion yeah yeah it's red sox to the death and that's what it is

1:39:21

like

1:39:21

fuck the yankees that's all it is man but it's the same thing so the sports one

1:39:25

is where i think

1:39:26

is a little different because the yankees fan doesn't want to murder those red

1:39:30

sox fan we both

1:39:31

still like baseball they break people's legs yeah yeah sometimes you know but i'm

1:39:35

saying they still

1:39:37

like baseball yes they can still agree oh we're at the ballpark you know we're

1:39:40

having a hot dog and

1:39:41

it's like fuck you and you're like fuck you and that's fun you know it's fun

1:39:45

but like to the people

1:39:46

that claim they hate religion the most are acting their politics out like

1:39:49

religious zealots right

1:39:51

they're going well this is i wouldn't even tell jimmy kimmel's wife i can't

1:39:54

even talk to them

1:39:55

anymore i i don't think she said she's having a hard time talking i might be i've

1:40:01

watched it a bunch

1:40:02

but so what happened was she said that she was always struggling with it since

1:40:06

trump's been in office

1:40:08

but now she doesn't even want to be with these people because it's personal to

1:40:13

her that like that now

1:40:15

she's made the decision to not uh and it's like that's that's where it's a

1:40:21

problem struggling

1:40:22

with it's fine if family reunies want to have a talk with your aunt who voted

1:40:25

for trump or something

1:40:26

i think that's healthy you know let's talk about it because if you're doing any

1:40:28

of these things and

1:40:29

you can't defend it you're probably pretty stupid but when you start going i

1:40:33

won't even be associated

1:40:34

with that person because of whatever it is that that's a that's a problem well

1:40:38

it doesn't seem smart

1:40:40

yeah doesn't seem healthy you know if you don't have any room for disagreement

1:40:44

but it's also like

1:40:45

the thing between kimmel and trump is so dumb it's very dumb it's so dumb i can't

1:40:50

believe like and then

1:40:52

then he went after um what's he went after jimmy fallon and seth myers as well

1:40:57

right uh yeah losers

1:40:59

yes yes yes that's crazy i know that's so dumb i i don't understand i guess no

1:41:06

one is around to tell

1:41:08

him that he must be in a bubble he's 100 in a bubble but that's also the way he's

1:41:12

behaved his

1:41:13

whole life like that's how he would attack you if he was on the apprentice you

1:41:16

know i'm supposed to do

1:41:17

the celebrity apprentice i was supposed to do it too but way after it was good

1:41:21

i did i was supposed

1:41:22

to do it with arnold schwarzenegger wow i was supposed to do it with him with

1:41:24

trump yes okay uh

1:41:26

it was when fear factor was returning to nbc they asked me to do celebrity

1:41:30

apprentice and i thought

1:41:31

about it but my kids were really young at the time i didn't want to live in new

1:41:34

york and i was like how

1:41:35

long does it take it takes forever and then also it's like that guy's going to

1:41:38

be mean to me and i'm

1:41:38

gonna be like fuck it's not fun like that's not gonna be fun like i'm not good

1:41:42

with that you know

1:41:42

i'll get real i wonder what your political opinion would be of trump if you had

1:41:46

done celebrity

1:41:47

apprentice interesting i think he always had an understanding of like how the

1:41:56

whole political

1:41:57

process worked like there's an interesting interview of him way back in the day

1:42:01

i think he was talking to

1:42:04

barbara walters maybe it was a really old interview where he was talking about

1:42:09

maybe one day running for

1:42:11

president and this is back when he was a democrat yeah you know he was a

1:42:14

democrat from queens he's a

1:42:16

long portion of his life um and you know i think elon said it best he's a

1:42:22

product of his time

1:42:23

you know and that's the thing this is an almost 80 year old man who's a real

1:42:29

estate guy who likes

1:42:30

to see his name in big gold letters loves america because that's what he always

1:42:34

liked like i like my

1:42:35

name big gold letters like everything's big and gold that's what he genuinely

1:42:40

likes people knew that

1:42:40

about him they would give him a little more grace when he says crazy things

1:42:44

because like if you read

1:42:45

his book like there was a part where he was like he's like uh okay do you think

1:42:48

he really wrote the

1:42:49

book uh no but i think i don't think anyone does dennis rodman didn't write his

1:42:53

book you know

1:42:54

i just had a guy follow him some people write their own book for sure but not

1:42:57

the majority yeah

1:42:58

or actually that's not true the majority of people write their own books the

1:43:01

majority of

1:43:01

celebrities have someone follow them and talk to them in coffee shops they have

1:43:06

ghost writers yeah

1:43:07

um but he was he was like talking about this building's the biggest in new york

1:43:10

it's the best

1:43:11

and they're like it's not even the biggest building in this and he goes you

1:43:14

know what i mean like it's

1:43:15

kind of like yeah and if you know that then you kind of like give him a little

1:43:18

more grace when he's

1:43:19

just saying it's just kind of how he is he's this i'm the best you know it

1:43:23

doesn't mean he's really

1:43:24

the best it means he's got an attitude of the best you saw the bbc thing right

1:43:28

uh what thing

1:43:29

you didn't see the thing where bbc got in trouble for editing uh his speech we

1:43:33

talked about it

1:43:33

yesterday i'll i'll just tell you real briefly so they took a segment of him

1:43:38

saying something and

1:43:40

then spliced in a segment of him saying something else from 53 minutes later

1:43:45

right the um storming

1:43:46

the capital yes right from the january 6th crazy yeah which is not journalism

1:43:51

like that is not

1:43:52

journalism but like full-on lying and propaganda and it's kind of dangerous and

1:43:58

those are the things

1:43:59

people watch that's what i say in that shortened bullshit yes but these people

1:44:04

lost their jobs

1:44:05

because of it it's a big deal yeah and not only that but like they're getting hounded

1:44:09

by reporters

1:44:10

they're asking them and the the answers that they have for why they did what

1:44:13

they did it's like

1:44:13

crazy they felt it seems like these people this is just my opinion it seems

1:44:19

like these people felt

1:44:21

justified for completely lying because it would lead to an ultimate good so

1:44:27

they lost all journalistic

1:44:29

integrity and it is the bbc which is like the height of journalistic integrity

1:44:34

if that doesn't show the

1:44:36

rot of mainstream corporate controlled media then nothing does right because

1:44:40

that that's pure rot if

1:44:43

at the top of the heap you got like in in my mind if like if somebody said

1:44:48

something to me and they

1:44:49

quoted a source and it was the bbc i was like okay that's like washington post

1:44:53

that's like new york times

1:44:55

it's a very official source so i'm thinking this must be real and they turned

1:45:00

it into activism and they

1:45:02

turned it into lying and they did it in front of everybody where you could

1:45:07

clearly just listen to

1:45:09

the whole thing and no he didn't say that but that's not how he said it at all

1:45:12

yeah it's like well and i

1:45:13

think uh i i'm sorry that i keep harping on this but like that's what aoc or

1:45:18

kind of the left i see most

1:45:20

guilty of doing is in their brain they go i know that this is a little like

1:45:26

whatever but it's for

1:45:27

our greater good right so they're they're they're doing that with their own

1:45:31

thing listen i don't i'm

1:45:33

smart enough to know that charlie kirk was trying to make a point about blank

1:45:37

but if i twist this a

1:45:39

little it's for the greater good right of what i'm trying to do here and so

1:45:43

they justify it to themselves

1:45:45

they say oh well now i know that i might have been a little political

1:45:49

politiciany here right but it's

1:45:51

for a greater good and it's vague and it's like listen he look he hates black

1:45:56

people that's why um

1:45:58

obama disappointed me so much during the kamala harris campaign because he did

1:46:01

that thing where he said

1:46:03

you know that he said that white nationalists are very fine people yeah he said

1:46:08

we have very fine

1:46:09

people on both sides and do you hear the actual quote and the difference

1:46:13

between what they're

1:46:14

saying he said and what he said what he said was the exact opposite he said and

1:46:17

i'm not talking about

1:46:18

neo-nazis and white nationalists he said he's like i don't forget the exact

1:46:23

wordage he used

1:46:24

they should be condemned whatever he said but along those lines he specifically

1:46:30

said not those people

1:46:32

i'm talking about people that just didn't want these statues torn down yes that

1:46:35

there's very fine

1:46:36

people on both sides and some people just like go yeah it was robert e lee's a

1:46:40

really bad guy but it's

1:46:41

like this is a part of history it is yeah yeah this is like this is just

1:46:45

reality yeah but that using

1:46:49

that during kamala harris's campaign i was like that's great you know what he

1:46:53

said yeah you must know

1:46:55

they cut it up but why would you sacrifice what's so valuable is like your stature

1:47:02

and your integrity

1:47:03

why would you sacrifice that for someone who just probably wasn't going to win

1:47:07

anyway right i mean

1:47:09

i don't know if it's money or if it's some sort of oath or if it's intentional

1:47:13

whatever but like that

1:47:14

stuff's so dangerous i really like that shortening of like what someone said

1:47:18

taking out of context

1:47:19

i think there's also the consequences of um people going to trial for that russia

1:47:24

gate stuff

1:47:26

because i think that that russia gate collusion hoax that they perpetrated on

1:47:31

mainstream media for years

1:47:33

and a lot of people are really comfortable uncomfortable with even saying it

1:47:36

was a hoax

1:47:37

no it was a hoax ladies and gentlemen it was a hoax and a lot of people

1:47:41

coordinated that hoax

1:47:43

and there was a lot of people involved and i think they're super sketched out

1:47:47

about trump being president

1:47:48

again and possibly digging into that stuff and he's doing that now yeah and you're

1:47:53

finding real evidence

1:47:55

that the people that you would think the intelligence agencies you think what

1:47:58

are they here for they're

1:47:59

here to make america safe and protect us from problems but it seems like they

1:48:04

also metal yeah and

1:48:06

not just metal but like completely try to sabotage someone and paint them out

1:48:11

in a way that's

1:48:12

completely inaccurate knowingly willingly with taxpayer dollars funding it all

1:48:19

for the greater good for

1:48:20

their greater good bro i might say very fine people too if i was doing that i

1:48:24

said whatever he's a

1:48:25

fucking nazi uh let's not yeah he's hitler yeah let's say whatever the fuck

1:48:30

keep him out of office i think

1:48:32

that's what happened with the um in a way that's kind of what happened with

1:48:35

like the epstein list

1:48:37

thing i think like the reason you're never going to see that is because there's

1:48:40

just too many powerful

1:48:41

people that are in that that are on both sides it would kind of be a not a

1:48:45

collapse but like a social

1:48:47

kind of like collapse of like not just that but both sides i mean i don't think

1:48:51

there's like that

1:48:52

you're not going to find all liberals went to this island you're not going to

1:48:55

find all conservatives

1:48:56

went to this island you're going to see a list of some of very powerful creeps

1:49:01

on everything so it's

1:49:03

like both this like stalemate of the right and the left going maybe we just won't

1:49:06

do this but it's not

1:49:07

just that it's this ball of yarn of what did they do with the information what

1:49:13

did they if they did

1:49:15

compromise you and they did fly you out to an island you did have sex with

1:49:18

underage girls

1:49:20

what did you do then when you were confronted by the fact that they know this

1:49:24

right what did you do

1:49:25

like what decisions were made what foreign policy decisions were made what

1:49:30

financial decisions were

1:49:31

made yeah what money got donated how much money transferred back and forth to

1:49:35

different accounts

1:49:36

because of things that happened there yeah how many huge international

1:49:41

decisions were made by people in

1:49:44

powerful positions because someone has a video of them doing something very

1:49:49

compromising on an island

1:49:51

that's why i'm glad that i mean i might be the very rich or anything but like

1:49:56

if something you know if

1:49:58

they try to figure out something on me this is this would be their research

1:50:00

they'd be like all right

1:50:01

we found jeff died he likes a sprite you know uh uh uh uh he also watches pro

1:50:09

they'd have nothing

1:50:10

they'd just be searching you're not a guy who's trying to run the world yeah

1:50:14

the thing is everybody

1:50:15

who wants to run the world everybody wants to be the president everybody they're

1:50:18

all they've all done

1:50:20

weird shit they're fucking crazy and then they get into a position where they

1:50:23

have like ultimate power

1:50:24

and they're putting fucking masks on and fucking each other and i mean that's

1:50:28

skull and bone it's crazy

1:50:30

stuff to me yeah there's always been these weird secret societies of people

1:50:34

that get really wealthy and

1:50:35

they do kooky things and they wife swap and yeah yeah it's very strange people

1:50:41

lose their

1:50:42

fucking minds with any kind of power and you got the kind of power where you're

1:50:45

literally like

1:50:46

running the government you're literally running the whole government i still

1:50:50

wouldn't want to do bad

1:50:50

stuff like it's crazy like it's like i guess my brain's too simple you don't

1:50:53

want to run the

1:50:54

government i know but if i just i think to myself i'm like it's crazy that

1:50:58

there's this much

1:50:59

shit on all these powerful people like it's crazy it's not crazy though because

1:51:03

you think like what

1:51:04

is their pursuit it's just like very bizarre pursuit because either they really

1:51:08

are for the people and

1:51:09

they really want to make the world a better place then you're not going to get

1:51:11

anything on them because

1:51:12

then they're bernie sanders right you got nothing yeah they just you got

1:51:15

nothing you know he might not

1:51:16

be effective but you know you don't have anything on him right he's not going

1:51:20

to compromise he doesn't

1:51:21

have to you got nothing on him or you you got someone who wants to be a leader

1:51:25

for some strange

1:51:26

reason and they they're really not that extraordinary but they're in a really

1:51:30

shallow pool of talent right

1:51:31

because that's the real truth about running for president or running for

1:51:34

governor or running for

1:51:35

mayor is it's a fucking shallow pool of talent because most people that have

1:51:41

any kind of talent

1:51:42

talking don't want that job right why would i want that job why would i want

1:51:45

people to shoot at me

1:51:47

why would i want half the country to hate me no matter what i do right why

1:51:51

would i want to get

1:51:52

in and find out that this intertwined web of fucking money and power and

1:51:57

influence there's no way to fix

1:51:59

it yeah and i'm just going to sit here for four years being a bad guy in a

1:52:02

stupid white house like

1:52:03

yeah because you took a photo with something on it yeah so the people that want

1:52:06

that are all out of

1:52:07

their fucking minds and they're all kooks they're all gavin newsom's they're

1:52:10

all kamala harris's and

1:52:12

donald trump's and they're all kooky people you know and some of these kooky

1:52:16

people will do a better job

1:52:17

than other kooky people but only kooky people want the job and until that

1:52:21

changes and until

1:52:22

not just kooky people want the job non non-kooky people want the job being

1:52:27

president but non-kooky

1:52:29

people involved in congress and the senate and everything regular rational

1:52:34

people that can have

1:52:35

real conversations and not try to diminish whoever you're talking to and every

1:52:42

in the most reductionist

1:52:43

way possible make them out to be a moron because they're on the other side the

1:52:47

actual solving of

1:52:49

problems without you doing it at the behest of these massive corporations that

1:52:53

have been donating to

1:52:55

you right so you have to bullshit your way and gaslight people and you can't be

1:52:58

honest about your real

1:52:59

opinions that's the real fucking problem with that whole system it is

1:53:03

absolutely contaminated by both

1:53:06

money and the promise of money in the future if you play ball that's where it

1:53:11

gets real weird yeah

1:53:12

they leave government jobs and start working for pharmaceutical drug companies

1:53:16

that they were

1:53:17

regulating just 16 months ago like it's it's like x it's like x uh or like

1:53:23

twitter you know it's like

1:53:25

like nobody's on there to go oh i'm gonna like try and find some people's ideas

1:53:29

it's all like debate

1:53:30

culture like you could put the most simple thing and you have 700 people who

1:53:35

just want to go like

1:53:36

the the the goal is to debate and argue and get into like win and dunk on your

1:53:42

opponent and make

1:53:43

someone say there's not like nobody like you said in the beginning is like

1:53:46

nobody's trying to just go

1:53:47

i think i really want to make it fair it's like no one's saying that no what's

1:53:53

even more fun is blue

1:53:54

sky you ever go to blue sky if you make an account even in your name you say jeff

1:53:59

die i bet you'll be

1:54:00

banned i would bet you'll be banned within 20 minutes yes yeah you're

1:54:03

problematic you're a toxic

1:54:05

what is what is your heterosexual you're a cis gendered male that's um which is

1:54:10

what yeah we

1:54:12

already had i don't know we don't need to add that i don't i'm not doing it i

1:54:15

thought i got to choose

1:54:16

my pronouns why do they get to put cis on me sis on me but if you go there um i

1:54:21

saw this one conversation

1:54:23

where someone said they were talking about something saying i'm trying to be

1:54:26

zen about it and then the next

1:54:28

person say said try not to be racist against asian people from zen yeah that's

1:54:34

insane i mean that's

1:54:36

crazy it's whack-a-mole yeah they're just sitting there ready to whack they're

1:54:40

just ready for someone

1:54:41

to pop up with any micro aggressions any diversions from the narrative it's so

1:54:47

exhausting

1:54:48

i've never heard of this it's like a liberal kind of like facebook or something

1:54:53

most people bailed on it

1:54:54

so a lot of people like stephen king said i'm going over to blue sky they all

1:54:57

decided to go over to blue

1:54:58

sky because trump let them say whatever they want on twitter and they just didn't

1:55:02

like the reality of the

1:55:04

world right and so they're like this is bullshit i'm leaving and they all come

1:55:08

back they all come back to

1:55:09

twitter because x is more fun exactly it's it's nuts but it's way more fun than

1:55:14

everybody just calling you

1:55:15

racist for everything i do think that's the current problem with the world i

1:55:19

know that's very vague but

1:55:20

like people just want to win the talk nobody wants to have the talk right so it's

1:55:26

it's more about

1:55:26

like well here's what you haven't thought about this but like it's it's like it's

1:55:30

like why are you talking

1:55:31

at anyone like that right like hear them out and then they also have the uh

1:55:37

give them the luxury of being

1:55:38

wrong it's okay to be wrong i'm wrong all the time but like like the only way i

1:55:42

can be right is if i say

1:55:44

the wrong thing and i learn or you know that's that's we should be having

1:55:47

conversations not arguments but

1:55:49

the the thing is now you attach that to politics and you literally have to win

1:55:53

the arguments because

1:55:55

that's what the whole game is the whole game is like get up in front of all

1:55:58

those people and state

1:56:00

your claim and diminish the claim of your opponent and that's that it's stupid

1:56:04

yeah but they have to

1:56:05

do it because they have to get elected because if they don't get elected then

1:56:08

they don't have power

1:56:09

and if they don't have and once they get into power then they have to use that

1:56:12

power for their

1:56:13

constituents and for the people that help them get into power yeah so there's a

1:56:16

bunch of needs of

1:56:18

these and there's a bill you want to put this in the bill because it's going to

1:56:21

help the oil sector

1:56:22

right the bill is going to help chips and whoo yeah and so of course you're

1:56:27

going to put a mask on and go

1:56:29

fuck a guy you're crazy you're doing a crazy job you're doing ecstasy you're

1:56:34

hanging out with all

1:56:35

these people that are running the world of course you're sucking dick with a vhs

1:56:40

camera somewhere

1:56:41

that's why i'm walking around town with a leather mask being walked by my

1:56:44

boyfriend they can't take

1:56:46

it anymore they're living an insane life where they're producing no value so

1:56:49

there's nothing they're

1:56:51

doing where unless they're real like that's what i think about bernie sanders

1:56:55

love him or hate him

1:56:56

that's a real guy and he has real beliefs and he's been steadfast about these

1:57:01

real beliefs

1:57:02

from the beginning of his career from there's a photo of him that we played we

1:57:06

showed on the podcast of

1:57:07

him getting arrested at a civil rights protest yeah in the 1960s i think it was

1:57:12

he's always been that

1:57:14

guy that's who that's who he is which is great yeah and we need if you're not

1:57:18

that then what are you

1:57:21

doing you're trying to just get ahead you're trying to win you're trying to gaslight

1:57:25

the best you're

1:57:26

trying to make your way through this weird game where you could be a senator or

1:57:29

you could be a governor

1:57:31

and then maybe you could be the president you have eyes on the throne first

1:57:35

thing i'm gonna do is take

1:57:36

that tacky fucking gold leaf off the wall trump put gold leaf everywhere he

1:57:41

likes gold yeah what's

1:57:43

wrong with gold it looks bad about his home decor it's the white house you made

1:57:47

there was people

1:57:48

complaining he made the white house look tacky it looks beautiful yeah well

1:57:51

also who cares you don't

1:57:52

live there i don't give a shit well they just don't want him doing that they

1:57:55

don't want him like

1:57:56

didn't he do it with his own money and stuff i mean they've always done that

1:58:00

and taft put a he invented the hot tub on accident because he was like that tub

1:58:04

won't fit me i'm too

1:58:05

fat oh really yeah and then they forever like people will go oh it didn't taft

1:58:09

even that big fat

1:58:10

guy got stuck in a tub and it's not true he was just a big guy made a funny

1:58:14

joke and for now like

1:58:15

now all these young people like oh yeah taft the big fat guy they got stuck in

1:58:18

a tub it's not true

1:58:19

he accidentally made a he just made a a modification to the white house and it

1:58:26

basically invented a hot tub

1:58:27

people are also upset that he's making a ballroom you see he's making this

1:58:30

giant ballroom

1:58:31

it's all right it doesn't bother and he found out you're allowed to yeah and

1:58:35

then uh care he goes

1:58:37

he he goes uh what's the deal with permits they're like you don't have to get

1:58:41

any permits you're the

1:58:41

president you can just build it he's like he's like amazing as a real estate

1:58:45

guy he's like that's

1:58:46

fucking great for a guy like that it's like you just gave him the coolest

1:58:49

fucking present ever he

1:58:50

can make a beautiful beautiful ballroom and people are so mad and they were

1:58:55

saying that it was a

1:58:55

waste of taxpayer money but it turns out it's not it's not it's all donations i

1:58:59

think you can look

1:59:00

this up but i think obama spent like 350 million dollars of taxpayer money

1:59:03

making modifications to

1:59:04

the white house i think that's true too and like did you no one cared and i don't

1:59:08

care about that

1:59:09

either i'm not using that as a what about i'm saying i also don't care that obama

1:59:13

did it i don't

1:59:41

big dude there's some

1:59:43

pretty beautiful houses for 1.5 that's a whole house a whole house yeah 350

1:59:48

million dollars is so much

1:59:50

money did you make another house underneath the house what happened yeah how

1:59:53

did that happen a

1:59:54

tunnel to a giant arena that's under the ground maybe the guy gets 500 grand an

1:59:59

hour to do the

1:59:59

construction or something because i don't understand doing it at the white

2:00:02

house yeah he needs to get

2:00:03

paid more it's like weddings you know they're like uh they're like uh i'd like

go sure forty dollars he goes for my wedding five thousand dollars they just

2:00:12

change the price you

2:00:14

what i needed a bunch of flowers you gave me a great rate but then the second

2:00:18

is for wedding

2:00:19

those flowers are now like this crazy maybe that's what it is white house

2:00:22

prices yeah because they

2:00:23

know it's taxpayer money but 350 million dollars seems like real excessive i'd

2:00:27

like to know what they

2:00:28

did didn't one of the was it nixon or somebody made like a bowling alley in

2:00:31

there nice yeah

2:00:33

that's a cool thing to be able to put in there is that what they do like you're

2:00:37

allowed to just

2:00:37

you're going to be there for four years put a bowling alley i think you get to

2:00:40

i don't know if that's

2:00:41

true but somebody put a bowling alley in over a pool or something i read but

2:00:45

also i didn't care i just

2:00:47

go sure if i was president i'd probably make some adjustments you see he took biden's

2:00:51

photo down and

2:00:51

put a picture of the auto pen up oh i did see that yeah yeah i didn't know if

2:00:55

it was real i have a real

2:00:56

struggle with like what i see is real or not it might not be real let's find

2:01:00

out if it is real i

2:01:01

think it is real though i think that's what i heard obama's era project covered

2:01:05

renovations trump's

2:01:06

knocked down 376 uh okay 376 million dollar cost to improve the east and west

2:01:14

wings infrastructure

2:01:15

uh peck described the project as largely underground utility work doesn't do a

2:01:22

whole lot of good to

2:01:23

have a building that's sort of an image of the free world standing up there and

2:01:26

not functioning well

2:01:27

peck told cnn when questioned about the cost bloomberg news reported in 2010

2:01:31

the obama renovation was the

2:01:33

biggest white house upgrade since president harry truman was in office 48 to 52

2:01:38

truman oversaw the

2:01:39

white house historic gutting renovation and expansion in response to

2:01:42

significant structural issues that

2:01:44

at one point resulted in the leg of his daughter piano breaking through the

2:01:48

floor trump's project with

2:01:51

the first major exterior change of the white house in 83 years historic

2:01:55

preservationists say

2:01:57

you know i read that and i just said oh my god because the leg of his daughter

2:02:01

and then it's the leg of

2:02:02

his daughter's piano i know i read it too i was like oh no just the piano broke

2:02:06

yeah that was very deceptive

2:02:07

the way they've typed that just the piano leg yeah yeah i thought it was his

2:02:10

daughter's leg

2:02:10

piano went through the floor one of the piano legs went through the not the

2:02:15

daughter like the daughter's

2:02:16

leg's fine why you bring her up you're freaking me out she's not in this story

2:02:20

i thought a kid broke her leg

2:02:21

i was panicking it's just a fucking stupid piano but that uh that building's

2:02:26

not that big so i guess

2:02:28

that makes more sense though they had to do like crazy underground

2:02:31

infrastructure

2:02:32

shit that probably i would wonder what's under the white house heating cooling

2:02:36

and fire alarm

2:02:36

systems that hadn't been updated since 1902 or 1934 still i'd like to see a

2:02:41

receipt

2:02:42

also i'm feeling ripped off i used to always say i don't think that any

2:02:46

president ever

2:02:47

is at the white house because they go to the white house but they don't live

2:02:51

there like yeah they do

2:02:53

you think that they live there they do they have a residency well i think there's

2:02:56

like a tunnel to

2:02:57

a different place that there's another building yeah they live in that building

2:03:01

because why would you

2:03:02

want to put the most powerful person in america in the most famous address in

2:03:05

america people ideas

2:03:07

well it's the secret service you know we keep them secret don't give them ideas

2:03:12

it is weird because

2:03:13

you know where he sleeps all the time right that's crazy you you have more

2:03:18

security in anonymity than

2:03:20

knowing where someone powerful is like that's crazy even no matter how much

2:03:24

security you have

2:03:25

the secret is the best part of it that's why secret service is good you want a

2:03:29

secret address

2:03:30

you want a secret home you want to move them around yeah don't have them in the

2:03:33

same spot every

2:03:34

night i think the white house is called the famous the most famous address in

2:03:38

america like

2:03:38

they say it's the most famous address it is the most so why would you put

2:03:42

someone so powerful

2:03:44

in the most famous like i just think that like i even when i was like in high

2:03:48

school i was like

2:03:48

i bet that they i'd like to think that we're not keeping the president in a

2:03:52

place that everyone knows

2:03:54

about yeah but they do uh hopefully no one's listening to this and you gave

2:04:01

them an idea i hope not

2:04:02

either violence is bad that's the that's the point do you remember back in the

2:04:07

obama administration

2:04:08

when that crazy person broke into the white house yeah got pretty far didn't

2:04:11

you have a bit about it

2:04:12

yeah yeah there was a lady guarding the door without a gun yeah what are we

2:04:17

doing that is

2:04:19

crazy that's so crazy might have given someone some ideas like i could get

2:04:22

pretty far bro they got that

2:04:23

guy got all the way in if it wasn't for a off-duty secret service guy who saw

2:04:27

that guy running through

2:04:28

the fucking white house and he tackled him he just happened to be there he wasn't

2:04:32

even on duty what

2:04:33

do they think just like well no one's no one's gonna break yeah like well who

2:04:37

would do that

2:04:37

that's crazy we're fine yeah it's so crazy the people that have never been

2:04:43

around crazy people

2:04:45

they don't know why lobotomies were done in the first place that's true back

2:04:48

then people were like

2:04:49

enough of mike right we gotta slow mike down or that you see like uh like you

2:04:55

work at like a homeless

2:04:56

place and you go oh i kind of get it right yeah you go yeah you could kind of

2:05:00

go oh these people i don't

2:05:01

know i don't know you know they've done so much stuff and drugs and they've

2:05:07

traumas and all that

2:05:08

and you just kind of go i could see how in the olden times they would go these

2:05:13

people are broken let's

2:05:15

you know especially if they're not medicated like there's out and out like

2:05:18

hardcore mental illness

2:05:20

involved in most of the homelessness you know a large percentage of it at least

2:05:24

yeah which is a

2:05:24

controversial statement but it's a hundred percent true well the mental illness

2:05:28

leads to the drug

2:05:29

addiction drug addiction self the self-medicating you know it's a lot of trauma

2:05:33

a lot of things a

2:05:34

lot of factors but the answer to that isn't just let them camp right let them

2:05:39

be in front of your

2:05:40

house whacking off shouting bomb threats like that's not ignoring it isn't the

2:05:45

solution yeah not

2:05:47

talking about it is not the solution yeah yeah i don't think lobotomy is the

2:05:50

way to go but i don't

2:05:51

i don't know i just meant like in the 30s they would see that and go you know

2:05:55

let's put this guy in a

2:05:56

room on the 30s i've had people in the there was a bunch of people that were in

2:06:00

shanty towns in new

2:06:01

york city back during the depression oh yeah the depression was so bad that new

2:06:05

york city had like

2:06:06

you know like these little handmade houses like that people had built you ever

2:06:11

seen any of that stuff

2:06:13

see if you can find shanty towns from new york city from the great depression

2:06:16

yeah man it must have been

2:06:19

so dangerous i mean it's basically homeless encampments in the middle of

2:06:23

central park and

2:06:24

there's no jobs man yeah no jobs and there's no fucking the depression

2:06:28

not wild not crazy man imagine living out there how dangerous that would be

2:06:34

that's downtown denver

2:06:35

right there and that's all because of the motherfucking bankers that's all

2:06:39

because of the bankers they

2:06:41

crashed the stock market that's crazy i was just hearing something really crazy

2:06:47

where someone was

2:06:49

making a connection between rockefeller and um alcohol being uh during prohibition

2:07:00

that one of the competing fuel sources back then was ethanol i don't even know

2:07:05

if this is true but

2:07:07

that rock you know rockefeller had control of oil and they were using oil to

2:07:12

make pharmaceutical drugs

2:07:14

so like most of the drugs that people buy the reason why they started doing it

2:07:19

that way is because

2:07:20

rockefeller because he had control of the oil and this was saying that he

2:07:24

wanted to stop them

2:07:25

people from using ethanol so he wanted he thought the best way to do that was

2:07:30

to make it so that no

2:07:31

one could have the ability to produce alcohol and the best way to do that is to

2:07:37

make a prohibition

2:07:39

about alcohol but really sounds crazy it says it's a myth computer let's see

2:07:44

why they say it's a myth

2:07:45

john d rockefeller is often blamed for using prohibition to eliminate ethanol

2:07:49

as a competing fuel source

2:07:51

to gasoline from his standard oil business but this is a myth rockefeller

2:07:55

supported the temperance

2:07:56

movement primarily for religious and social reasons okay that's the excuse that's

2:08:02

publicly stated

2:08:03

that he supported alcohol prohibition for religious and social reasons

2:08:08

believing alcohol consumption was

2:08:10

harmful and aiming for a more productive workforce so this is the problem that

2:08:14

this is not quotes this is like

2:08:16

someone's saying why this guy supported banning alcohol and not yes he did work

2:08:22

to ban alcohol and

2:08:23

yes he did benefit from it because ethanol was taken out that's that is true so

2:08:29

ethanol as a fuel was not

2:08:30

banned it's saying uh explicitly allowing even promoted the use of high proof

2:08:35

alcohol for scientific research

2:08:37

fuel or other lawful industries during prohibition ethanol as a fuel was not

2:08:42

banned in fact some

2:08:44

industrialists including rockefeller dabbled in ethanol fuel production henry

2:08:49

ford also pursued ethanol fuel

2:08:51

development during this time okay so i take back what i said so it's not that

2:08:55

it was banned so that

2:08:57

doesn't make any sense then um it would make sense

2:09:00

if somehow or another but could you if you were using ethanol though the thing

2:09:08

is

2:09:09

like if you stop people from making their own alcohol if you make it illegal to

2:09:13

make your own alcohol you

2:09:14

definitely can't make your own fuel and then you can't use ethanol because you

2:09:18

can actually make

2:09:19

ethanol with corn that's how they make it so i could see how you would say if

2:09:24

you wanted to sell more

2:09:26

gasoline you would make it so people can't make their own fermentation and you

2:09:31

can't make your own

2:09:32

alcohol and one of the best ways to stop people from making their own alcohol

2:09:36

would be the prohibition

2:09:37

of alcohol you know i'm saying yeah like it doesn't seem that clean to me that

2:09:42

looks like a little

2:09:43

squirrely like he supported a prohibition of alcohol because of morals but yet

2:09:47

he was like really

2:09:48

involved in a lot of shady shit that seemed like he was very control those

2:09:52

religious beliefs were

2:09:53

sidelined yeah man the it also he had a part in the structuring of the

2:09:58

education system to make

2:10:00

people good little factory workers yeah get them up early get them get them to

2:10:04

school quickly before

2:10:06

the parents can like give them any sense of how the world really works right

2:10:10

and then brainwash them

2:10:11

bring them in get them in there and make good workers out of them he was a big

2:10:13

part of that as

2:10:14

well like that guy had a lot of power yeah that's he'd have been an interesting

2:10:19

guy in politics so it's not

2:10:21

true that he that ethanol that they prohibited it but it is true that they kind

2:10:27

of eliminated people

2:10:28

making their own alcohol and if you're not if people aren't like making engines

2:10:32

from ethanol because

2:10:33

most people are using gasoline at the time it seems like they don't have the

2:10:38

materials yeah it'd be a

2:10:40

good way to stop people from making their own gas and then you'll sell more gas

2:10:44

i tried to buy something

2:10:45

recently uh because i had like a chest cough and they're like you should get

2:10:49

this shit and then i

2:10:50

went to the riot aid or whatever it was and they're like oh that's behind the

2:10:53

counter so go up and ask

2:10:54

her for she needs my id she beeps my id and i go why she goes oh because enough

2:10:58

of this you can make

2:10:59

meth and i go really she goes yeah so we have to like make sure that the person

2:11:03

like that it's kind of

2:11:04

documented who bought it and how much like pseudofed right yeah i think that

2:11:07

yeah something like that and

2:11:08

then i was like uh oh shit then i need a 700 of these yeah uh but like i didn't

2:11:13

even know that's

2:11:15

how guys were making meth you gotta regulate all that kind of stuff you imagine

2:11:18

how bad that meth

2:11:19

was you get some assholes that go to the grocery store and just clean up the

2:11:24

the pharmaceutical aisle

2:11:26

that's the sad part about addiction man you'll see like these homeless guys

2:11:29

drinking mouthwash you're

2:11:30

like how bad has it got that you're just like chugging listerine like in an

2:11:35

alley to get drunk like

2:11:37

that's i mean that's a that's what if it's a really good buzz i mean i

2:11:41

guarantee it's a good buzz

2:11:43

like and your breath's great imagine a listerine buzz

2:11:46

imagine a listerine buzz i mean sometimes i have to keep i don't drink anymore

2:11:53

but sometimes i would have

2:11:53

tequila and that felt like mouthwash you know you have like a shitty cheap tequila

2:11:58

and you go

2:11:59

do you know a large percentage tequila apparently is fake it's not made with agave

2:12:04

really yeah there

2:12:05

was a big scandal see if you can find anything on but it still got people drunk

2:12:09

oh yeah yeah yeah but

2:12:10

i think the scandal was that people were saying that it was like real tequila

2:12:14

like legit tequila made

2:12:16

from agave yeah but it wasn't yeah it's just like fucking some shitty alcohol

2:12:20

yeah some nonsense

2:12:21

they go that counts it's tequila i know but i mean i guess scammers probably

2:12:25

thought like if they were

2:12:27

scammers so who knows who's doing it along the way maybe it's the manufacturer

2:12:31

maybe it's the original

2:12:32

person who knows but they didn't think someone was gonna check yeah it's kind

2:12:36

of strange i i think

2:12:37

about all those kind of things like i remember they were doing this big

2:12:39

campaign they're like mcdonald's

2:12:41

uses real beef now i'm like what were they using like what do you mean like if

2:12:45

the tequila company

2:12:46

would now market like no this is now real tequila you'd be like what were we

2:12:50

drinking this is a

2:12:51

proposed class action lawsuit filed in the u.s district court for the eastern

2:12:54

district of new

2:12:55

york goes on to allege that both brands fail to meet the regulatory

2:12:59

requirements to label themselves

2:13:01

as 100 agave in mexico and the united states even though they carry that

2:13:06

distinction on their labels

2:13:07

so what are these brands click on that link where it says those brands oh casamigos

2:13:13

and don julio top

2:13:15

shelf significant amounts of non-agave alcohol despite being labeled as 100 agave

2:13:22

customers named

2:13:23

the suit claim that they purchased the products under the assumption that tequilas

2:13:27

were made exclusively

2:13:28

from blue weber agave and paid prices reflective of that premium designation

2:13:34

somebody was cutting the

2:13:36

product son yeah that's how it goes and no one's paying history repeating

2:13:40

itself over and over and

2:13:42

over and those are big ones those are like i didn't expect it to be something i've

2:13:45

heard of but here's

2:13:46

the question who did it right you got to follow that web to go okay where did

2:13:51

that money come from

2:13:53

is it that guy is it like a manufacturer is it someone who's in the plant is it

2:13:59

someone are they

2:14:00

skimping are they ripping them off like what who did it yeah who did it it's

2:14:04

you know i mean if you're

2:14:06

an asshole and you're running the distillery and you're like fuck those don julio

2:14:09

people we have to

2:14:10

like i and you're like i know how to make it better i can make more money and

2:14:14

then he skims we're

2:14:15

gonna need a hundred grand for it only tossed 40 greedy greedy yeah yeah who

2:14:21

knows who knows it's

2:14:22

probably a tangled web of scumbags that were using the company to make money

2:14:27

when i first worked at

2:14:28

giggles comedy club the owner like we didn't really have a green room we're

2:14:32

just kind of in the back

2:14:33

where all like the soda tubes are going from the boxes of syrup and all the

2:14:37

bottles of alcohol back

2:14:38

there and uh he had one bottle of every kind of like top shelf liquor but he

2:14:43

would just pour

2:14:44

shitty liquor in there like with funnels like totally against the law just like

2:14:49

funneling like the cheapest

2:14:51

tequila he could get in like the finest tequila bottle and then when people

2:14:54

would people would

2:14:55

constantly bring it back like this tastes wrong he goes you saw me pour it from

2:14:59

the bottle and they're

2:14:59

like yeah i guess i don't know like what but i watched him do that so many

2:15:04

times that's hilarious

2:15:06

yeah because he could charge like this you know crazy amount and he'd just get

2:15:09

the shittiest

2:15:10

cheapest tequila from like costco or wherever the heck that's so gross i know

2:15:14

that's so how many

2:15:15

people do that all over the world there's a lot of that going on there was

2:15:18

there was a great documentary

2:15:20

about that it's called uh sour grapes and it's all about these wine guys that

2:15:24

got duped they were

2:15:25

buying this wine it was like thomas jefferson's wine it was like some dude was

2:15:30

making it some dude in

2:15:31

century city was like making the the labels over the bottles like dirt on them

2:15:36

and yeah he was

2:15:37

totally doing that that's funny and he was mixing a bunch of cheap wine to try

2:15:41

to come up with this

2:15:42

flavor weird like it's always this was it a big wine guy like oh yeah oh really

2:15:47

oh dude he he this

2:15:49

is how he fucked up he ripped off the coke brothers too big like yeah and they

2:15:54

had they bought some

2:15:55

old ass like thomas jefferson wine and it wasn't real and then they also had

2:16:01

some magnums from a

2:16:02

company that never made magnums during that year they're during that era and

2:16:06

this actual wine guy

2:16:07

saw their cellar and sort of what is this right and he says that's this and

2:16:11

that he goes no no they

2:16:13

don't do that this is not from that this is fake and he's like what and so then

2:16:18

they have a lot of

2:16:19

resources obviously so they're like release the house and then they you know

2:16:24

they caught him they

2:16:25

get enough evidence that they can raid this guy's house and so when they raid

2:16:28

this guy's house they

2:16:29

find like a whole manufacturing thing he's got dirt and water he's rubbing it

2:16:32

on the labels he's

2:16:33

like making the labels old and shit hilarious he's reusing old labels from wine

2:16:38

that he had bought

2:16:39

somewhere else and re-corking it and sealing it oh it's total scumbag and he

2:16:45

sold millions of

2:16:46

dollars worth of like fugazi wine to all these dorks that are like these dorks

2:16:52

yeah and they're all

2:16:53

ah i spent this much on this yeah it has a an essence of tannin there's a a woody

2:17:00

a woody

2:17:01

aftertaste almost chocolate ah i tasted chocolate i wish who caught him was a

2:17:05

sommelier like someone who

2:17:06

was actually like no this tastes like shit and like i'd be like oh it's real

2:17:09

like there there is one

2:17:10

someone yay in that documentary that these other guys were like sniffing it

2:17:14

going this is this is the real

2:17:15

stuff right the other guy gets it he goes no this is crap what is this i love

2:17:19

that and the but which

2:17:20

is like a huge insult to the other fellows like oh i don't and they don't want

2:17:24

to say they got duped

2:17:26

no no no this is the best the best grapes during the best year i have it i have

2:17:32

the grape can't you

2:17:33

taste the hint of costco you don't taste the box on this one you don't taste

2:17:39

trader joe's that's hilarious

2:17:41

what a weird it's a weird thing man but it's a fascinating documentary because

2:17:46

it shows you what

2:17:47

that thing really is it's like this weird club that they all belong to where

2:17:50

they get real nerdy

2:17:51

about a a flavor that's not that good right it's not that but you want the

2:17:57

finest so you believe the

2:17:58

best wine is not as nearly as good as kool-aid that is far superior to the best

2:18:05

wine ever yeah but it's

2:18:07

not exclusive you know kool-aid it's like such a weird thing that some of it is

2:18:12

so expensive and

2:18:13

so revered that they have auctions for it the autograph world is full of a

2:18:17

bunch of bull crap

2:18:18

like that like if you collect athletes autographs and stuff i'm friends with

2:18:22

the the guys at icon

2:18:23

autograph and san diego or whatever and they're great guys but like i'll send

2:18:27

them a photo of a

2:18:28

thing and be like this is selling at this like you know it you know hotel lobbies

2:18:32

they have those you

2:18:33

know when you walk in it'll be like a photo of taylor swift framed and it's

2:18:37

just like cut her

2:18:38

autograph on it it's selling for like five thousand dollars or whatever and i

2:18:41

sent him a thing because

2:18:42

i the item was so unique that i was like this is pretty special it was a

2:18:47

baseball autograph by joe

2:18:48

dimaggio and marilyn monroe to have both those names like on the baseballs like

2:18:54

this there's no way

2:18:55

this is at a silent auction right now for like a thousand bucks i sent it to my

2:18:59

autograph guy and he goes

2:19:00

dude there's like one of those in the world and it sold at auction for like

2:19:04

millions or whatever

2:19:05

so this guy just somebody like you like the guy you're describing putting dirt

2:19:09

on the yeah thought

2:19:10

he could pull one over and probably did i mean i didn't go whistleblow or

2:19:14

anything but like he

2:19:15

definitely did someone just wrote joe dimaggio on a baseball and marilyn monroe

2:19:19

and put it in a fancy

2:19:21

case and you know some schmuck has that right now in his living room telling

2:19:25

everybody about this

2:19:26

ball he bought committed suicide a week after this story went viral over the

2:19:29

summer oh my

2:19:30

god he admits a counterfeiting over 350 million dollars in gear after police

2:19:34

raid warehouses

2:19:35

and then he killed himself the dealer says the scheme grew to be an addiction

2:19:39

wow what did he uh all

2:19:42

sorts of fake autographs oh yeah oh my god stuff biggest names in sports all

2:19:46

sorts of bullshit so of

2:19:47

course there's a lot of that oh dude tons of it yeah people repacking things of

2:19:53

course you're always

2:19:54

gonna have that that's wild yeah it's just what well i guess people's risk

2:19:58

reward is fascinating to me

2:20:00

too like you know about the chauncey billups thing what's that he's a he was

2:20:04

the head coach he's a

2:20:05

hall of fame oh this is the nba thing yeah hall of famer the money scam and

2:20:10

then he's the coach of the

2:20:11

portland trailblazers so you have money coming in you're not desperate and then

2:20:16

you're gonna risk your

2:20:18

entire reputation you're gonna risk your entire uh you know bank account by

2:20:24

doing gambling and doing

2:20:26

all this like dumb shit i'm like why would like at that point you think no more

2:20:29

risks like like

2:20:30

you're pretty good why why do corruption why have like all this like gambling

2:20:35

nonsense it makes no

2:20:36

sense to me i get it if my friend does it who's broke and is like dude i had to

2:20:40

like pull some

2:20:41

bullshit you know his times are tough this guy's the head coach for the portland

2:20:45

trailblazers what are you

2:20:46

doing i think people get addicted to just pulling things off that's what that

2:20:49

one was saying is that

2:20:50

this guy said he was like yeah that's why yeah well people are nuts man like

2:20:54

the gambling addiction is

2:20:56

a weird one man and i think some of those guys maybe they get a bunch of losses

2:20:59

and then they want

2:21:00

to get it back by rigging a game you know what i mean but they want to make it

2:21:04

like so they definitely

2:21:06

are going to win and they feel funny that it's like fun to get over like you

2:21:10

rigged a game tricked

2:21:11

them yeah yeah there's two baseball players for the cleveland indians right now

2:21:14

or uh video where he accidentally struck people out and he's pissed yeah you go

2:21:19

strike these two

2:21:20

players they'll never throw balls yeah for five thousand dollars a pitch uh

2:21:25

which is you know

2:21:26

kind of chump change to guys who make 30 million a year you know like that's

2:21:30

not like that's good money

2:21:31

for me but that's not good money for these guys and they're like supposed to

2:21:35

throw a ball at a

2:21:35

certain time or walk a player like they were doing these different things and

2:21:39

they caught them you know

2:21:40

these guys oh so the prop bets thing is the weird one right yeah and that's

2:21:44

what makes it weird that

2:21:46

like draft kings and all these things are such a big part of sports now right

2:21:49

because there's you're

2:21:49

just gonna have organized criminals that get involved in that and exploit it

2:21:53

there's a ufc problem right

2:21:54

now oh really yeah yeah ufc fight um so this is a story a lot of uh the ufc has

2:22:00

an organization i

2:22:01

i don't know what organization they use maybe you could find out jamie um that

2:22:05

monitors unusual

2:22:07

betting activity right any fight so the moment there's any unusual betting

2:22:12

activity spikes they

2:22:13

contact the ufc the ufc contacts this fighter says hey you're the favorite to

2:22:17

win this fight there's a

2:22:19

very a lot of unusual betting activity on you to lose like are you okay is

2:22:22

everything fine are you

2:22:24

injured no no i'm fine i'm gonna kill this fucking guy okay has anybody

2:22:28

contacted you about this fight

2:22:30

no so he goes out loses in the first round gets submitted rear naked choke

2:22:35

doesn't look good

2:22:37

immediately the ufc says we called the fbi so good now apparently there's an

2:22:42

investigation of many

2:22:44

fights right and there's a web it seems like of people that have contacted

2:22:50

fighters and said i will

2:22:52

give you x amount of dollars if you lose this fight yeah and a bunch of people

2:22:56

have said no to it

2:22:57

and publicly talked about how they said no to it you know good really good

2:23:01

fighters and uh even went on

2:23:03

to lose the fight you know unfortunately and and didn't get the money but we're

2:23:10

open about it yeah

2:23:11

so it's one like patchy mix who is uh he was bellator champion came over to the

2:23:16

ufc and he said that

2:23:17

someone i think he said somebody offered him seventy thousand dollars or

2:23:21

something like that to lose a

2:23:23

fight something something crazy i might be wrong if it was him that said that

2:23:27

number it might have been

2:23:28

someone else but so they're offering dudes like a big pile of cash to lose to a

2:23:33

fighter that they might

2:23:34

have lose might lose to him anyway right you know like it's probably a tight

2:23:38

matchup anyway but if you

2:23:39

definitely lose so what do you do you don't fight as hard you you make mistakes

2:23:43

you do something stupid

2:23:45

you know you uh you let them take your back right get choked out and if you're

2:23:48

good at defense you

2:23:50

might be able to as long as you're getting submitted you know you're not

2:23:52

probably not going to get hurt that

2:23:53

bad and you'll be able to make an extra 70 grand when you might be getting 10

2:23:57

000 to fight

2:23:58

right so now all of a sudden you got 80 grand uh i don't agree with it

2:24:03

obviously i think it's

2:24:04

fucking terrible and it's are you allowed to bet on yourself to win is that a

2:24:09

thing well i know fighters

2:24:11

have in the past because that i would be fine ufc fighters right now are not

2:24:17

capable of betting uh on

2:24:19

the ufc i think uh it's not just the fighters but the commentators the coaches

2:24:25

referees everybody no

2:24:27

one's supposed to be betting on the ufc because there was another betting

2:24:31

scandal and so the other

2:24:32

betting scandal was this guy who is a active mma fighter and a really good

2:24:37

coach and he got accused of

2:24:40

using this discord server and they were running like a gambling discord server

2:24:45

and a bunch of money

2:24:46

came in on this dude to lose in the first round and he went out there and he

2:24:50

lost in the first round

2:24:51

and the word was that he was hurt and that it had been expressed to these

2:24:55

people bet against him because

2:24:57

he's going to lose in the first round and a lot of people made money so this

2:25:00

guy gets investigated the

2:25:02

ufc bans him i don't know what the status of his case is um but they also

2:25:07

banned the fighters that

2:25:10

were training out of that gym um i think so i don't know if this guy see if

2:25:15

this guy who just got in

2:25:17

trouble if he was connected to that gym the gym i was is james kraus's gym yeah

2:25:25

because i would be like

2:25:26

fine with if they want to bet to win you're like i love that right i love that

2:25:30

too the thing is easy to

2:25:32

trace when you you were talking about like prop bets and stuff like that losing

2:25:36

the first round you

2:25:37

could just definitely lose in the first round and everybody makes a hundred

2:25:40

thousand dollars

2:25:40

you know what i mean like some people are going to take that right especially

2:25:44

if a guy is like

2:25:46

pretty good but realistically he's not going to be a world champion you know

2:25:51

maybe you're 32 maybe you've

2:25:52

got a lot of maybe you're mike tyson fighting jake paul you might have alimony

2:25:56

you have to pay off you

2:25:57

might have child support you have to pay off yeah you're in debt and that's why

2:26:00

you're fighting in

2:26:01

the first place and someone comes along and they you're out of the hole now you're

2:26:04

going to get a

2:26:05

hundred thousand dollars to throw and they're just going to bet a ton of loot

2:26:09

on you right and they're

2:26:10

going to hope nobody notices but i guess now people are noticing it and you can

2:26:14

kind of see if

2:26:15

someone's not fighting back and that was the thing about this fight i got to

2:26:20

see it obviously when

2:26:21

i knew the controversy i didn't see it live so i didn't have fresh eyes you

2:26:26

know i didn't see it

2:26:28

live and go god why is that guy fighting off the choke so badly there's a bunch

2:26:31

of nba guys some

2:26:33

some instagram account it's really good he found excuse me no no just dry mouth

2:26:37

dry throat have a

2:26:38

sip of water i got nothing why you sip the water yes he was um we have

2:26:41

previously coached by james

2:26:43

say that again james he was previously coached by james okay so this guy who's

2:26:49

allegedly through this

2:26:51

fight was also coached by this guy who was involved in the betting scandal so

2:26:57

that's why computers are

2:26:58

good it's like those kind of little things where you can find that like oh this

2:27:02

is on like computers

2:27:02

help in that way for sure that's a tangled web if you're involved with people

2:27:06

that are making money

2:27:07

gambling and not on the square so the thing is if you're just gambling on the

2:27:12

square if you just

2:27:13

watch a fight like pereira versus uncle i have two and you say i like pereira

2:27:17

to get that title back i'm

2:27:19

gonna fucking i'm gonna put my money where my mouth is i'm putting too large

2:27:23

too large on poeton let's

2:27:24

go that should that's totally fine and fun yeah but when it gets to you have a

2:27:30

prelim fighter and he's

2:27:33

only making 10 grand and someone offers them you're gonna get choked in the

2:27:36

first round and it's like

2:27:38

okay i got it i got it i got it and the opponent probably doesn't even know

2:27:41

right this guy has to

2:27:42

figure out a way to give this guy's back right oh that's kind of funny he's

2:27:46

like leading him yeah

2:27:48

you have to give it to him you have to give it to him pete there's been fights

2:27:52

like that there's

2:27:53

been fixed fights for sure oh for sure has to be especially in boxing oh it's

2:27:58

weird because those

2:27:59

boxers are their lives are so tough i mean well they've always done that

2:28:03

throughout history guys have

2:28:05

taken dives you know especially if you weren't connected enough you know if you

2:28:09

were a guy that

2:28:10

wasn't with a big-time manager who had a big-time lawyer and probably mob ties

2:28:15

ties yeah they all

2:28:16

had mob right you had to have mob i'm gonna lose a fight if the whole mob's

2:28:19

gonna kill my wife or

2:28:21

something bro you don't think rocky marciano had mob ties for sure if you're

2:28:24

the heavyweight champion

2:28:25

of the world and you're italian all the mobsters want to be your friend and you're

2:28:28

a boxer you know they

2:28:29

love that flatlining everybody it's funny to find out how many of these old

2:28:33

guys didn't even like

2:28:34

the sports they just liked all the money part of it well marciano talked about

2:28:38

it like that like

2:28:38

it was it's just my job yeah but that guy was the freakiest training person i've

2:28:44

ever heard of in

2:28:45

boxing like the freakiest training regiment it was crazy like part of what made

2:28:51

marciano so good

2:28:52

was that he never got tired because he had this insane work ethic and he lost

2:28:58

one fight when he was

2:28:59

younger uh i think in the amateurs because he got tired and he decided after

2:29:03

that fight he was never

2:29:04

going to lose a fight ever because he got tired so he just put himself through

2:29:07

this

2:29:08

fucking insane routine where he would get up in the morning before any training

2:29:11

he would run 10 miles

2:29:13

he would do his training he would hit the heavy bag for hours and then he would

2:29:17

swim miles in the lake

2:29:18

after training he would spar 100 rounds a week he would just get to the point

2:29:22

where you know we're

2:29:23

talking about redlining yeah and he did the same thing he redlined to the point

2:29:26

where he couldn't

2:29:27

do it anymore and then he retired undefeated but does that red line that kind

2:29:31

of thing that he was

2:29:32

doing you can't do forever and i watched this video about the other day i'm

2:29:35

like this is bananas just to

2:29:38

watch that guy's work ethic and back when nobody had anything you have no creatine

2:29:43

there's no vitamins

2:29:45

you know i think about when you say the redlining thing and maybe it's just

2:29:48

because i'm influenced by his

2:29:51

like the videos he posts and the things he does but every time i know michael

2:29:54

chandler

2:29:55

and like every time like i see this guy like he's like oh you're in arizona

2:29:59

like swing by the gym

2:30:00

and he's like throwing the thing again like he's just always it's like in this

2:30:03

like he's i'm going to

2:30:05

shoot a tv show tomorrow but i gotta work out it like he's always so tremendous

2:30:10

discipline full

2:30:11

on yeah like i've never seen him going i'm taking a month off or we're going to

2:30:15

the pool that's why

2:30:16

he's still elite at 38. he's awesome i believe he's 38 now right how old is

2:30:21

michael chandler

2:30:22

i believe he's 38 um but that's why he's so elite he's never gotten out of

2:30:26

shape 39 39 because that

2:30:29

guy people don't even know about the wars that he got in with eddie alvarez

2:30:33

when they were at bellator

2:30:36

the greatest fights in mma history went unseen by a giant chunk of mma fans

2:30:45

because they didn't pay

2:30:45

attention to bellator right but this the eddie alvarez michael chandler fights

2:30:49

in bellator were

2:30:50

nuts really i mean not play a clip of it i mean nuts like from the opening bell

2:30:58

two mad

2:31:00

fucking roosters just attacking each other it is it's so wild those bellator

2:31:06

guys read

2:31:06

lining because they just wanted to get to ufc like they're still climbing the

2:31:09

ladder they're

2:31:10

still in the hunt well they were just these guys just redlined their entire

2:31:13

career eddie alvarez

2:31:14

went on to become a ufc um uh lightweight champion when he beat jafael dos anjos

2:31:19

huge upset eddie

2:31:20

alvarez is a fucking beast um but these two guys from the opening of the first

2:31:26

fucking seconds of the

2:31:28

fight look this is the beginning of the fight chandler's just right throwing

2:31:31

himself at him just

2:31:33

sprinting at him drops him bro drops him again look at this crazy alvarez

2:31:39

survived somehow and he fires

2:31:41

back bro these fights are nuts the fights i think they had that i know they

2:31:45

definitely had two i don't

2:31:47

think they had three but in the the two fights that they had together were

2:31:51

fucking insane i mean the

2:31:53

entire pace of the fight was fought like this he's awesome and they're really

2:31:58

evenly matched it was a

2:31:59

really good match looks a little bigger than him well chandler's a fucking tank

2:32:04

dude dude challenge the

2:32:05

best and he's got crazy wrestler power from the legs you know so when he leaps

2:32:09

at you like when he

2:32:10

knocked out dan hooker he lunges at you like he's shooting a double and throws

2:32:15

a left hook at the same time

2:32:17

when he he knocked out dan hooker in his ufc debut who's a really respectable mma

2:32:22

fighter a very good

2:32:23

fighter but he just got caught find that one jamie find um michael chandler ko's

2:32:29

dan hooker because

2:32:30

this was his ufc debut and again dan hooker is like an elite fighter which is

2:32:36

one of the reasons why it

2:32:37

was so impressive and the fight starts out and chandler does the same fucking

2:32:42

this is his first fight in

2:32:43

the ufc the same shit he did in bellator he just charges forward i love it i

2:32:47

mean this is how he

2:32:49

always fights it's do or die that's why this guy's lost a ton of times but he's

2:32:53

still a huge fan

2:32:54

favorite it's because you know you're gonna see this i mean he's just throwing

2:32:59

a watch yeah for sure

2:33:00

a big kick

2:33:02

he's just so dangerous man because everything is a hundred percent

2:33:08

that's throwing that low cap kick three or four times and hasn't really landed

2:33:11

it's all

2:33:12

yet dan's landed that one hurt oh that one hurt that was just one two

2:33:16

here comes and look at the oh big knock down for michael chandler big right

2:33:25

hand dan's hurt

2:33:26

oh my god it's over bro that's a wrap bro and then he does a backflip off the

2:33:34

top of the cage

2:33:36

bro that's a freak dude freak athlete i met him so i was doing a prank show for

2:33:41

mtv called money from

2:33:42

strangers which was kind of like impractical jokers but way darker like we were

2:33:46

like a lot edgier

2:33:48

it was before money or before impractical jokers and so they'd always send me

2:33:52

to like

2:33:52

mtv movie awards or any kind of those things and i was like i don't live in new

2:33:56

york they're gonna send

2:33:57

a car i get to go on a red carpet whatever i'll drink it'll i'll make it fun

2:34:02

and they happen to be

2:34:03

behind me the bellator guys happen to be the next guys in the red carpet line

2:34:07

and the way the red

2:34:08

carpet works is no one cares about us at all they're just waiting to get like miley

2:34:12

cyrus or

2:34:13

beyonce or whoever the hell it is so like we're basically the photos they're

2:34:16

taking are just

2:34:17

something we're gonna save off the internet because no one gives a shit they

2:34:20

were like all bellador guys

2:34:22

so people at this movie awards don't necessarily care these guys are behind me

2:34:27

and they're like

2:34:28

this guy's fun because i'm making all these jokes and like goofing around and i

2:34:30

was already kind of

2:34:31

like buzzed up and so then that michael chandler and these two other like bellator

2:34:35

guys uh brog the

2:34:36

predator you know he is no he was a bellator guy too cleveland guy okay big guy

2:34:41

he's awesome too but

2:34:42

anyways these three guys and they were like this is kind of dumb and i was like

2:34:45

yeah this shit's kind of

2:34:47

gay i don't want to be here you know and then they were like let's just go

2:34:50

drink and so we just drank

2:34:51

and met people and hung out and they're like want to get subway and we got in a

2:34:54

car and got and got

2:34:55

subway and just hung out with these dudes all night and i've been pals with

2:34:58

them ever since oh that's

2:34:59

awesome yeah but it's like i didn't really know what they did i just kind of

2:35:03

knew that they were like

2:35:04

fighter guys and so like i thought they were in ufc at that time and they weren't

2:35:07

they were in uh

2:35:08

whatever was paying really well and bellator had a pretty good following for a

2:35:14

while i mean it was

2:35:15

doing really well there was some real elite fighters out of bellator and a lot

2:35:19

of guys like they came

2:35:20

over to the ufc because they became famous famous in bellator like ben askren

2:35:24

he came over from from

2:35:26

bellator he actually did a stint at one fc before he came to ufc eventually but

2:35:31

there's a lot of guys

2:35:32

that never came over you know yeah unfortunately like douglas lima douglas lima

2:35:37

at one point in time

2:35:38

was one of the best welterweights alive and you know he was the bellator

2:35:42

champion he's like the

2:35:43

only guy that's ever knocked out michael venom page do they have like an mma

2:35:47

hall of fame

2:35:47

yes there's a ufc hall of fame and i think there's an mma one too maybe the mma

2:35:53

awards i don't know

2:35:55

because that sucks there's a ufc hall of fame though yeah but that's ufc guys i

2:35:58

know yeah it sucks

2:35:59

i know um some guys they they wait too long in these other organizations

2:36:04

unfortunately

2:36:05

and the reality of the sport is you know there's a bunch of different

2:36:10

organizations you can compete

2:36:11

for and i think if the pfl's paying you more money go to the pfl do whatever

2:36:16

whatever you want to do

2:36:17

but if you really want to be the world champion you have to be the ufc champion

2:36:22

that's just how it is

2:36:23

right now it's like major league that's how it's like in boxing if if you're

2:36:27

the undisputed champion

2:36:28

you have all belts then you're terence crawford but if you're like a wba

2:36:31

champion and there's

2:36:32

also a wbc champion and an ibf champion that's too confusing to the average

2:36:36

person right and for

2:36:38

most people the ufc is what for good or for bad they're just just a i'm just

2:36:43

saying that's just how

2:36:44

most people think of it that's how i probably annoyed them that night because i

2:36:48

was like oh you

2:36:48

guys are ufc guys and they're like uh we're bellator yeah you don't go looking

2:36:52

for cotton swabs you go

2:36:53

buy q-tips you look for q-tips that's what it is you're not just watching pro

2:36:57

football you're

2:36:58

watching the nfl absolutely and if you're so bored you're watching the xfl you

2:37:02

start canadian

2:37:04

football league i gotta go to the gun range or something i gotta clear my head

2:37:07

yeah what would

2:37:08

happen to me i gotta do something different but i feel like that's just for

2:37:13

better for worse it's just

2:37:14

how it is that's how it is in america we don't have a lot of attention span and

2:37:18

if it's going to be

2:37:19

elite fighting it's got to be there's like one organization that we follow

2:37:22

sorry yeah and i

2:37:24

follow them all i follow everything i try to pay as much attention to muay thai

2:37:28

as i do to boxing as i

2:37:29

do to wrestling and jujitsu tournaments i try to pay attention to everything

2:37:33

just because i want to know

2:37:34

like who's coming up who's good what's new what different things are people

2:37:38

trying that they've never

2:37:39

done before did you see holly holm did wrestling bro she's a fucking athlete

2:37:44

she's the best that lady's

2:37:45

an athlete well after her fights mike winklejohn used to like like she used to

2:37:50

stand on his hands

2:37:51

and do a backflip after all of her fights it's amazing see if you can find that

2:37:54

it's crazy she

2:37:55

would win and then she was just at a place to watch wrestling and then there

2:37:59

was something she could

2:38:00

sign up for and she's like fuck it i'll do it bro and they just and they were

2:38:04

like really because

2:38:05

she's famous so they were like we'll we'll let you be part of it she goes sure

2:38:09

and she did and she

2:38:09

was just like the second they said her name everyone cheered it was like not

2:38:12

like a huge grandiose

2:38:13

plan thing there's no contract there was no anything she just did it it's like

2:38:17

this year

2:38:18

she's texting me about it i go what like did they go crazy and she's like no

2:38:22

like it was i mean like

2:38:23

it was just fun it was a fun thing i thought why not yeah that's the thing well

2:38:25

show that again

2:38:26

watch she's the best watch how they do this yeah so cool that was the thing

2:38:32

they would do after all

2:38:33

her fights well she had a fucking back muscles son

2:38:36

that's crazy yeah what she said oh she said the guy like her manager whoever

2:38:42

she asked about it

2:38:42

briefly was like he was like well what if you get hurt and and her the this is

2:38:47

great she goes

2:38:48

yeah but what if i win and i was like what a great response and he's like fuck

2:38:52

it let her do it

2:38:53

and so she did it and i was like that is the coolest thing that's why what a

2:38:56

mentality multi-sport

2:38:58

martial arts champion she's the best she was a champion in kickboxing you know

2:39:02

she had a champion

2:39:04

in boxing women's boxing and mma every she did the full trifecta yeah she's

2:39:09

kind of crazy and she's

2:39:11

a really nice lady too that's what i like about her yeah she's a sweetheart i

2:39:14

don't know a lot of

2:39:15

fighters those i named all the fighters i know michael chandler and holly home

2:39:18

that holly home fight

2:39:19

with ronda rousey was nuts that was in australia and it was a huge crowd like a

2:39:24

massive arena man and

2:39:27

when she landed that head kick and you realize that ronda was out and then she's

2:39:31

hammer fisting

2:39:32

everyone yeah it just didn't even it was like when mike tyson got beat remember

2:39:35

when mike tyson you

2:39:36

were too young but when i was a kid buster douglas when buster douglas beat

2:39:40

mike tyson i saw it

2:39:41

i heard about it i didn't watch it i saw a tape of it and i still thought he

2:39:45

was going to get up

2:39:46

you knew the outcome i was like he gets up he doesn't lose there's no way there's

2:39:51

no way now i remember

2:39:53

that for sure because mike tyson was larger than life and he was so like one of

2:39:58

those celebrities

2:39:59

that like you knew everything he was doing stars shined really brightly back

2:40:03

then there was like

2:40:03

michael jackson you knew michael jordan you knew michael jackson you knew they

2:40:07

would go out yeah they

2:40:09

would go to places and people big deal yeah mike tyson i remember being in the

2:40:13

kingdom watching a

2:40:14

baseball game it was the same night i was a little boy and they put on the

2:40:17

screen that mike tyson was

2:40:20

disqualified for biting evander holyfield's ear and the whole stadium reacted

2:40:24

like i mean like

2:40:24

they didn't interrupt a baseball game but they put it up there because the news

2:40:28

was so large

2:40:29

like it was a very big deal bro you bit him twice that was crazy i watched the

2:40:35

first fight today

2:40:36

i watched the first evander holyfield why did you watch it today i just felt

2:40:40

like watching it i love that i do

2:40:42

that like when i'm in the gym i'll pick like an old fight yeah i'll put it on

2:40:45

and uh i put on that

2:40:47

fight i was like wow that was a crazy fight i can't work out unless david goggins

2:40:50

is calling me a

2:40:51

pussy in my headset that's all i listen to you don't know me son dude it's the

2:40:55

best like i every time

2:40:57

i'm where i was at equinox this morning i had david goggins in my thing just

2:41:00

going you're a piece of

2:41:01

of shit you can do better jeff you can be bigger

2:41:04

goggins is the best that's what i listen to or those kind of like youtube

2:41:09

things where they compile

2:41:11

you know it's like just all motivation stuff with music over you don't seem

2:41:14

like a guy who needs

2:41:15

motivation you just do it for fun i like it yeah and it keeps me in the mindset

2:41:19

i always channel all

2:41:20

of it back to like stand-up comedy you know because like i'm working towards

2:41:23

something i'm in the hunt

2:41:24

i'm climbing and so like they could be talking about a battle and war and i'm

2:41:29

still like yep

2:41:30

that's what i'm what's next i'm gonna yeah i'm climbing you know i'm still

2:41:34

hungry yeah that's a

2:41:35

fun time it's a fun thing to do yeah you know the fact that you get to do it

2:41:39

when also like otherwise

2:41:41

i just sleep till noon or sleep till one you know but like if i have that i'm

2:41:45

like no i gotta get up

2:41:46

and write or i gotta get up and you know here's the question you you're doing

2:41:50

this obviously you're

2:41:51

doing this for the love of the thing and you said that if you didn't need money

2:41:55

and you didn't even

2:41:55

get paid money you would still do it and i think the same way i would do it too

2:41:59

but what do you think

2:42:01

about the idea of universal basic income because this is something that is

2:42:05

being discussed with

2:42:06

automation and with ai and we were having a conversation about the other day

2:42:10

with elon and

2:42:11

he was saying that he thinks that ai can generate so much productivity that you

2:42:17

could have universal high

2:42:19

income and then i went wait okay am i are we married to this idea that

2:42:25

everything that you do in life you

2:42:29

have to be doing just for money because that's what it is now if you're if you're

2:42:32

a professional

2:42:33

you're doing it for money if you're a professional podcaster if you're a race

2:42:36

car driver you're doing

2:42:37

it for money right why are we married to that and if you didn't need money and

2:42:42

no one needed money

2:42:44

would you just find a thing you love to do and would we be able to rewire our

2:42:50

brains and still have

2:42:51

some feeling of value and of uh identity and without being attached to an

2:42:58

occupation

2:42:59

like isn't it possible that we've just tricked ourselves into thinking that the

2:43:05

only way to live

2:43:06

is to live in a way where everything you're doing you're doing is for money

2:43:10

and then if it's just everybody does their best at things and enough money is

2:43:17

generated so that

2:43:18

basically everybody has like what he was saying a universal high income what

2:43:23

does that mean like is

2:43:24

that a feasible thing like what what is ai going to do with production what is

2:43:28

ai going to do with

2:43:29

automation resource extraction how much money is going to be generated that you're

2:43:32

going to be able to

2:43:33

literally have the entire population of the country under universal high income

2:43:38

is that even possible

2:43:40

and if it is what happens to people's desire what happens to their dreams what

2:43:45

do they just find a

2:43:47

thing like you and i have and do that and not care about money and really be

2:43:52

into the thing can't that

2:43:53

be taught if it's taught to you if you figured it out and i figured it out if

2:43:57

people have figured it

2:43:58

out they figured out like find a thing you love and you're never going to work

2:44:01

again because you're

2:44:02

going to love doing it whether it's building cars or painting or carpentry if

2:44:06

you really

2:44:06

fucking love doing it you do it because you love it right wouldn't that be a

2:44:10

better way to live

2:44:11

i know i know you can't do it i know i know no no no i know no no it wouldn't

2:44:17

work there's

2:44:17

too much money in the stock market i get it i get it wouldn't work but as a

2:44:21

thought experiment

2:44:23

wouldn't that be a way that's possible for people to live if it's possible for

2:44:28

you to live that way if

2:44:29

it's possible for me to live that way if it's possible to find enough people

2:44:33

that are willing

2:44:34

to do and love to do all the things that we need to keep a society running

2:44:39

i think the point of life in my opinion is is meaning you know so you associate

2:44:46

whatever

2:44:47

that means to you right so like a lot of people find meaning in being a mom or

2:44:52

a dad

2:44:53

that gives them enough that gives they they have that meaning or they have uh

2:44:58

they have a hammer to

2:45:00

hold on to like that like they need that meaning right i need comedy like that's

2:45:04

why when my brain

2:45:05

broke during covet is because i didn't have comedy i didn't have a outlet how

2:45:09

long did you go without

2:45:10

doing any comedy i mean realistically i only went a few days because i was

2:45:14

doing like zooms and i was

2:45:15

doing like underground things for rich guys i like i was the first comic me and

2:45:19

brad williams were the first

2:45:20

comics to go work in a comedy club with the new coveted restrictions we were

2:45:24

the because they knew if

2:45:25

they called me or brad we'd say yes like like i like keith stubbs called me

2:45:29

from salt lake goes

2:45:31

we're thinking about doing a show with all the restrictions and just see if the

2:45:34

if the government

2:45:35

shuts us down would you be willing to come and i was like yes i didn't even

2:45:38

talk about price i just go

2:45:40

yes like i because i need it now why do i need it because that's where i

2:45:45

personally find my meaning

2:45:46

now if i maybe was at home and going man i'm getting a lot more time with my

2:45:51

kids and i'm

2:45:52

getting a lot more time with my wife and like things are pretty productive

2:45:55

around here that's

2:45:57

where i would have put my meaning you know i think like and it's just where we

2:46:00

put it it's where we

2:46:01

kind of put it and i think so a lot of people find a lot of value in their jobs

2:46:07

that make them the

2:46:08

money but that's that gives them something to do don't you think yes i i do

2:46:13

think that but what

2:46:14

what you're saying about so if you just start giving them money what you're

2:46:18

saying about finding

2:46:19

meaning and having a family or finding me yes for sure but also i think the

2:46:25

human mind needs

2:46:27

activities right and i don't think it's just raising children only i think you

2:46:33

should probably have

2:46:34

things that you love to do as well right just for your own sanity but if you

2:46:39

didn't have to worry

2:46:42

about money you'd still be involved in this pursuit of stand-up comedy because

2:46:44

you love it all the

2:46:46

stuff that people do just for money like the guy who does the fucking septic

2:46:49

tanks that guy's not

2:46:50

having a good time he's smelling other people's shit all day he's pumping out

2:46:54

other people's

2:46:54

shit all day that can't be fun right we need him right we need him until the

2:46:58

robots come and then you

2:46:59

don't need him anymore so this is the point like what does that guy do to find

2:47:03

some sort of meaning

2:47:04

he's probably not finding meaning in pulling out of people's ground he's

2:47:09

probably would like to do

2:47:11

something different yeah yeah i mean i don't know i mean i'm so naive that i'm

2:47:15

like no that guy should

2:47:16

be proud of himself like like i'm really i look at plumbers like heroes like i'm

2:47:20

like dude the guy

2:47:21

that like fixed the electrical in my house i'm like i love you dude like

2:47:24

whatever i can pay you bro i had

2:47:26

a septic problem at my house once when one of my houses in california when i

2:47:29

first moved there and

2:47:30

it was so nasty when uh i would flush the toilet the bathtub would fill up and

2:47:35

i was like what is this

2:47:37

those are linked yeah well what it was was the septic system there was a pump i

2:47:42

was living on

2:47:42

a hill and the pump would pump it up the hill the poop water and then the pump

2:47:48

broke

2:47:48

and so they had to get in there and get the pump out in the poop water and put

2:47:54

a new and start and

2:47:55

that guy's my hero like that guy we need that guy that's a bud light commercial

2:48:00

real american

2:48:01

that's why i like cops like what you're saying earlier but the military the

2:48:05

nurses like they're

2:48:06

gonna send a robot to fix your poop pump the robot people a robot's gonna do it

2:48:10

and it's gonna

2:48:11

do it perfectly with ai and you're not gonna need a person to get covered in

2:48:14

shit water okay

2:48:15

and that guy's gonna get a lot of money just to sit at home but then what does

2:48:19

he do right that's

2:48:20

the thing yeah because i think a lot of it's going to happen really quickly

2:48:24

this is something that

2:48:25

andrew yang was uh talking about years ago and it was sort of i agree agree

2:48:30

with him but it was a

2:48:31

little abstract then and now this was way back was that 2020 when andrew yang

2:48:36

was running for president

2:48:38

i've never heard of andrew yang you don't know what's that was it 2016 it might

2:48:44

have been 2016.

2:48:46

you never heard of andrew um brilliant guy and had a very good 2020 um he had a

2:48:54

brilliant yeah i didn't

2:48:54

think it was that long ago um a great point about automation and that one day

2:49:00

automation is going to

2:49:01

remove a lot of jobs and including um drivers right like you're seeing it with

2:49:07

these wevos yeah so

2:49:09

there's that is like that's the first that's the first sounds that's the first

2:49:14

shot fired across the

2:49:15

bow of a crazy war where the robots are going to take all our jobs because that

2:49:20

is now you have

2:49:22

these tesla trucks that are automated and they can you know like my car my tesla

2:49:27

i just press a

2:49:29

button it right it does all the driving it does everything i don't have to do

2:49:32

shit i can literally

2:49:33

just sit there with my hands on the wheel and barely pay attention if i wanted

2:49:36

to i don't do it

2:49:36

i never do it either i have it and i don't do it yeah it's it's nuts so that's

2:49:41

going to be the future

2:49:42

and there's going to be no driving jobs and okay and then what about everything

2:49:46

else well everything

2:49:47

else manufacturing is it's out the window robots are going to do it 24 hours a

2:49:51

day they're going to

2:49:51

be more efficient no unions no health care no need for nothing right they're

2:49:55

never going to

2:49:56

up everything's going to be categorized they have sets these these uh mining

2:50:01

operations in china

2:50:02

where everything's automated there's no people working at all the trucks are

2:50:06

driving they're getting

2:50:07

recharged they're fucking picking up the coal they're moving the coal they're

2:50:11

bringing it somewhere

2:50:12

else it's all automated it's bananas man so that's just a massive eration or erasing

2:50:19

of jobs they're

2:50:19

just going to go away well the dot-com did that yeah but i think this is way

2:50:23

bigger dude i think this is

2:50:25

way bigger i think this happens and first everybody's like oh this sucks and it's

2:50:29

like oh my god this is

2:50:31

it's not stopping it's not stopping it's taking over everything it's going to

2:50:34

be all jobs there's

2:50:37

going to be no more need for lawyers no more accountants no more right coders

2:50:43

like all that

2:50:43

stuff's going to be done with ai it's going to get so weird if you're going to

2:50:47

college right now

2:50:48

because you could be going to college for something that's absolutely obsolete

2:50:51

in three years sure yeah

2:50:53

well but so i get that problem but there's someone's introducing an idea that

2:50:59

they just give money to

2:51:01

people for free so they don't because of this well here's the thing if that

2:51:05

becomes something that

2:51:07

controls everything which is really ultimately what it's probably going to do

2:51:11

controls all of our power

2:51:13

grid all of our waste management resources everything it's going to control

2:51:18

everything

2:51:19

it's going to generate insane amounts of wealth but the question is like how

2:51:24

does it even get

2:51:25

distributed that's the part that i don't how does that work who's got the money

2:51:29

if you're just giving

2:51:30

people money and then then they what now everyone's a trust fund kid in a way

2:51:34

you know they don't do

2:51:35

anything they just sit around and eat and what do you what do you get people

2:51:39

involved with to occupy their

2:51:41

time you know do you encourage them to join religious groups do you get them to

2:51:46

be involved

2:51:47

in games do we try to give people meaning yeah we are we all just going to sit

2:51:51

around and wait for

2:51:52

the robots to just take over and we're going to be the last civilization of

2:51:56

real people hundred years

2:51:58

from now they're going to be like i think i want to do what the robots do

2:52:01

people like what you know in

2:52:03

the old times you know people would actually have to do and then that maybe

2:52:06

there'd be like a movement

2:52:07

of that you know dude the terminator was accurate yeah oddly accurate remember

2:52:14

you you remember the

2:52:16

first time you saw that movie like this will never happen i'll tell you a funny

2:52:19

story about that

2:52:20

terminator i uh i was on mushrooms with my buddy randy and he forgot that he he's

2:52:25

had a long distance

2:52:26

girlfriend he forgot that he was going to call her and so we just ate you know

2:52:31

four grams of mushrooms

2:52:33

like a big like we just crushed him right it was coveted you know and uh we had

2:52:37

nowhere to be is the

2:52:38

point so we just we're going full journey you know we're gonna do a bunch and

2:52:42

uh we eat them we're

2:52:43

sitting there and then he he goes all right i forgot i was gonna call rachel

2:52:47

and i'm like all right but

2:52:48

it starts to kick in a little bit he left terminator on and then his gay

2:52:52

roommate is like on a first date

2:52:54

in the kitchen so there's two like cute guys like flirting with each other and

2:52:58

one of them barely

2:52:59

knows me and the other one doesn't know anybody in the apartment and i'm just

2:53:02

sitting there watching

2:53:03

terminator and like you can't be killed you know terminators like the bullets

2:53:07

are just going

2:53:08

through them and then the metal just kind of starts forming again and i'm just

2:53:11

sitting there i don't

2:53:12

know if i was there for 20 minutes i don't know if i was there for seven hours

2:53:16

and i'm just freaking

2:53:17

the out going god damn you can't kill these terminators and these gay guys keep

2:53:21

looking at me

2:53:21

and i don't know what randy's doing i thought he just abandoned me forever i

2:53:25

had like i can't

2:53:26

even watch terminator the same anymore luckily he came down and goes all right

2:53:30

let's go to the roof

2:53:31

and i said thank god you're here i went up there and talked about it all but

2:53:34

like i was freaking the

2:53:35

fuck out how long was he on the phone for don't know i'm gonna guess 15 20

2:53:38

minutes but it seemed

2:53:40

forever oh it seems so long and i'm just sitting there overthinking everything

2:53:44

and then also the

2:53:45

terminator like just seemed like so pointless i'm like why you can't kill it

2:53:49

just just surrender

2:53:50

you know you can't shoot through this thing well didn't it come back eventually

2:53:53

and become

2:53:54

a good guy in the later movies i don't know which version of the terminator i

2:53:57

was watching like if

2:53:58

it was t2 or t3 or whatever but it was how many have there been i don't know

2:54:02

how many it wasn't

2:54:04

the first one or terminators uh well fast and the furious didn't also become a

2:54:10

tv show i don't think

2:54:11

yet i just saw the new predator and it fucking rules terminated became a tv

2:54:14

show yeah when uh

2:54:18

no really did you see the new predator the sarah connor chronicles no i haven't

2:54:24

seen the new

2:54:25

predator dude it rules this was an eight 2008 huh i didn't watch it that looks

2:54:31

ridiculous that was

2:54:32

the thing as they made a lot they went down the rabbit hole with terminator but

2:54:35

there's probably

2:54:36

like six movies now i think i was watching like t2 or t3 to turn to turn to

2:54:41

salvation

2:54:42

there's all these six of them you know the last ones they're just just trying

2:54:47

to wring that towel

2:54:49

out and get a couple more drops of blood you ever seen the leprechaun movies

2:54:52

yes dude after a while

2:54:54

they're just like uh leprechaun goes to space leprechaun in the hood like it

2:54:58

was just literally

2:55:00

put the leprechaun in some setting it's funny that that one caught you know

2:55:04

like some things

2:55:05

catch and they become like cult classics the leprechaun movies were called

2:55:08

classics very good

2:55:10

yeah and the troll movie ever see the troll movie i saw troll 2 which is like

2:55:14

the worst film that's

2:55:15

ever been made have you seen that which one's there's no troll one they just

2:55:17

made troll 2

2:55:18

it's so bad it's phenomenal like it's absolutely the best the best watch if you

2:55:25

watch troll 2 you'll

2:55:25

watch the first scene or whatever and you'll go oh he's the worst actor i've

2:55:29

ever seen in my life

2:55:30

and then the next person will come in the scene you go oh no she's the worst

2:55:33

actor and it just

2:55:34

keeps going everyone is worse than the next person oh god so bad i think they

2:55:39

remade troll 2 and it's

2:55:40

coming out on netflix you're kidding i just googled troll 2 and there's a

2:55:44

trailer for a movie coming

2:55:46

out they made a documentary about it called best worst movie oh no and oh you're

2:55:50

kidding no this is

2:55:52

different yeah no i know these are pretty awesome it's called troll 2 i don't

2:55:55

know what the

2:55:55

it came from yeah but they're all have a big dick what is that it's his tail or

2:55:59

something yeah it's

2:56:00

got a tail it is weird that he doesn't have a dick though well it's like why

2:56:04

does he conveniently

2:56:05

have like animal skins over his dick 1990 was another one came out yeah so i

2:56:09

would imagine you

2:56:10

wouldn't would be totally comfortable being naked just who cares yeah you're

2:56:14

not modest you know

2:56:15

why are you gonna cover your giant dick yeah your giant bulletproof show it off

2:56:18

while you kill

2:56:19

people yeah swinging while you're stomping on people last thing to do is see

2:56:22

that helmet dropping

2:56:23

down that's why you lost your house look at the size of my cock yeah this is

2:56:26

ridiculous why would

2:56:27

he be vain or why would he be modest you know what's supposed to be really good

2:56:32

looks really good

2:56:33

is that new uh um frankenstein on netflix oh yeah the guillermo del toro yeah

2:56:37

yeah i haven't seen

2:56:39

that but yeah you don't like the predator movies they're good oh i liked uh the

2:56:43

prey one the pretty

2:56:44

good that was a good one yeah fun you know the command a lot of indians dying

2:56:48

in that you know

2:56:49

yeah it was kind of crazy that one felt weird this one i don't want to spoil

2:56:53

anything but they

2:56:54

definitely stray from the rules of being a predator but it's so good really it's

2:57:00

really good it's really

2:57:01

good yeah i loved it oh it's the one where the is she a robot she's a robot

2:57:06

which also makes it more

2:57:07

realistic that she's so like able to do everything anytime i'd start to feel

2:57:12

sexist like oh my gosh they did

2:57:14

this like girl power thing you're like no she's just a robot they made look

2:57:18

like a woman so it's not

2:57:19

like you have to feel like it's not you know whatever so this is predators

2:57:24

getting fucked up

2:57:25

here uh this so it's based off this one runt predator who's on that's why he

2:57:30

looks kind of weird and

2:57:31

all right don't spoil alert it no that's the that's what it is yeah i didn't

2:57:34

spoil anything but he's

2:57:35

like a little runt oh and so that's why he's out to prove himself like because

2:57:40

he's smaller than all

2:57:41

of them he's missing a fang he looks a little weird but that's because he's

2:57:44

supposed to look

2:57:45

weird because a lot of people are like this this this predator looks stupid

2:57:49

damn 85 percent on

2:57:50

tomatoes good that's interesting 93 like this movie no i loved it dude i like

2:57:55

when they can do that with

2:57:56

a movie you know you think like oh what is this gonna be right flip it on it's

2:58:00

how i felt

2:58:01

and every time there would be a thing where i'd start to criticize it like i'd

2:58:05

be like this feels like

2:58:06

mortal kombat and then in my mind i'd go jeff you love mortal kombat and i was

2:58:09

like all right

2:58:10

and then like the next part be like this is kind of star wars i'm like but i

2:58:12

love star wars so like

2:58:13

i kept like coaching myself and then after a while i was like this movie's

2:58:16

really good yeah you gotta

2:58:17

just enjoy things yeah that's what i tell people when i play ai music for them

2:58:21

like just forget about

2:58:23

the fact the robots are taking over this is great music this is a pattern of

2:58:26

every famous person i know

2:58:28

what'd you say jamie is tough but which one's tough great great is a weird it's

2:58:33

amazing how about that

2:58:34

it's very good that what up gangsta is amazing you know it is i just i've i've

2:58:39

gone on those rabbit

2:58:40

holes too watching cover songs though like my favorite cover song and finding

2:58:43

different bands

2:58:44

doing good versions of it they're real they're real listen the real bands are

2:58:49

better for sure because

2:58:50

it's a real band so it's a real person but i love listening to ai music i know

2:58:55

there's one going

2:58:56

i've never even heard of this there's enough it's not officially number one it's

2:59:00

like a weird

2:59:00

designation but there's a song that's number one on the country digital sales

2:59:06

chart by a completely ai

2:59:07

band well djs djs kind of did that two million listeners a month djs were kind

2:59:11

of like the first

2:59:12

version of that like they're putting in their robot and then like making the

2:59:16

songs and sampling

2:59:17

and stuff so this is just i mean it's not that far deviating this is way deviating

2:59:21

this is you could

2:59:22

change the kind of song like you could have it like a little charlie crockett a

2:59:27

little elvis presley

2:59:28

you could mix it they were like they're essentially drawing from all the songs

2:59:33

that have ever been

2:59:33

made so all the best sounds that anybody's ever sung has to be good it's

2:59:38

amazing it's so good it has

2:59:40

to be the way you just described it it will it has all the music we'll wrap

2:59:44

this up jeff and we'll wrap

2:59:46
