  Speaker 1: Roggy Podcast by Night, All Day. Good to see it same.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: We were just talking, so I had a pause Jamie
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: before the podcast. So you were telling me that Lebron
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: James is not gonna go back to the Lakers. How
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: is he now forty one? Forty one? What is the
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: oldest that elite athlete has been?
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Tom Brady's forty four? I think NFL QB. That'd be
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: pretty high up there.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: How was Kareem?
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: That's a good question, hos Kareem when he retired.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: Hopkins I think would be the next.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Bernard Hopkins is number one. Yeah, but we were talking
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: about how you beat Kelly Pavlich forty two.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: But Bend had a couple of years to incubate a
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: little bit.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, etail about that, Yeah, not take damage and
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: steal up the mind. He he had the most intense discipline.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: That guy never got out of shape, which is also
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: a giant contributor to Longevitor. Never never was building back.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: You know, he wasn't like a forty two year old
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: who was like, you know, he took six months off.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I haven't been in the gym now, but no, no, no,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: every day it was running nutrition, everything was always on point,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: never varied. He was like forty two, I think, so
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: he might be the oldest of the past guys. But
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: this was before all the science, right.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, science changes things.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Science, So we were just talking about the science. So, Jamie,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: what are they allowed to take and not allowed to take?
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: It's like that. The NBA used to, like, I think
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: for like weed stuff, they used to say that it's
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: like they'd get tested. I think like October first, which
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: is like right when preseason starts for weed. Yeah, and
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: so like if as long as you were clean on
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: October first, they're good because they want to test their
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: rest here that's ridiculous. But now i'd like, I know,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: in the NFL, if you have a crazy game, you're
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: gonna get tested the next day. They're just gonna check
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: you for what was going on with you?
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, why would you play good?
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Ridiculous.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: I don't think the NBA does that specifically, but I
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: don't know honestly.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: So what are the rules in the NBA in terms
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: of marijuana? Now? I thought that was part of the
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: thing that they negotiated in the contract to make sure
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: because a lot of players like to be high when
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: they play.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: I think they might. They might just have just stopped
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: testing for it as all.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I want to mention names. But I'm friends with some
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: guys and they tell me they can't play unless they're high.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: That's the same thing with pool players. I know a
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: lot of pool players. They like to get lit before
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: they get on the table.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, poo, pool shit, you should be playing pool?
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you feel things better? Here we go. NBA can
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: randomly drug test each player up to four times during
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the season and two times in the offseason, with the
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: additional test allowed anytime there is reasonable car but marijuana
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: is no longer part of the standard testing panel. Yes, sir, Yeah,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: so they can smoke weed, which makes sense. Let them,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: it's not what are you doing, It's not hurting anybody,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: and they play better with it. I think leave them alone,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: That's what I think. Unless they're doing unless they're doing meth,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: unless they're doing you know what I mean.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: They also had another big betting scandal is kind of
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: broken recently four hours there oh no, our player has
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: been called out for throwing at least four games and
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: then where that's gonna go from here is kind of
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: being speculated online.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you where that goes. If people find out
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: that goes to bullets, that's the problem. The problem with
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: someone throwing a game is somebody bet on that fucking game.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: A lot of people bet on.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: The cases I've seen though, are like the overse like
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: they had player props and like he needed four point
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: five rebounds and he has four, and he's just trying extremely, extremely,
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: extremely hard to get that extra rebound, which is.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Like, wait about that bad? That means he's playing well.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: The other one, which was, uh, he was fixing a
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: spread at like in the last second, like he sprinted
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: down the court to get an extra basket with like
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: three seconds on the clock when they were down by
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: ten or seven technically to beat the eight and a
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: half point spread.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but so what it's just scoring? How can you ever?
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: It's just as when you watching basketball enough, you go like,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: that doesn't happen that often.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Why would you do that?
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Especially you used to be throwing the ball and yeah,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: just throwing it down there, not you running down I know, but.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: If you can do it and score, well, how do
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: you do it? I don't even understand why anybody would
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: question that.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: You down by ten, it's five seconds to go the game.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: You want that ball in the net?
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: You man, no, what why because that's not going to change.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Oh we lost by eight, But if.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: You're competitive to the end, you never give up. And
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: even though you know you're losing.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: And no starters on the floor at this time, you
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: down by team is five seconds ago, no, no stought
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: is one.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: But it's not like he's missing on purpose. So it's
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: one thing if the guy's like missing on purpose, but
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: if he's scoring on purpose, all right, it's a similar thing.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: World Cup just happened like two three nights ago, where
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: they just got under the knockout round, you know, so
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: that the big tournament was every team plays three games
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: to figure out where you figure where you end up
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: to play the next part of the tournament. Ten teams
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: get eliminated. Uh huh uh. Third place teams for the
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: first time ever can make it through. And so there
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: was a I think it was Algeria and I forget
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: the other team, sorry, but if they both tied, they
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: both move through. If one team wins and one team loses,
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: one team goes through. And then they're like with four
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: minutes to go in the game, they're kind of just
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: passing the ball around. The scores tied, and one team
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: goes ahead and scores, and it kind of starts to
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: fight on the field where you see the other team
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: yelling at the other team like fuck you, Like I
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: don't know exactly what they're saying, but like what like
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: when and it was like two minutes to go, the
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: other team sort of just stops playing defense and kind
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: of seems to like let them score.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Oh God, It's like, how do don't they have mics
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: on those guys? It's such a they have to have
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: mics on somebody. They have strong mics now, and they
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: have people that can lip read, they can pick up Hey, motherfucker,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: are you supposed to leave this at tie? If that happens,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: like you can't play anymore, right, Like what happens to
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: those guys they have to get suspended.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: For That'd be the entire That'd be both teams, the coaches,
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: it'd be everybody.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: I don't really know how it's going to pan out,
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: but it was.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Very what a conundrum. How could you do that? Like
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I hate that, this is what this is what I
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: don't like about sports betting, not that because that's about advancing,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: but about sports betting is the even the consideration that
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: a person is playing a certain way because they're worried
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: about a spread, or because they're been paid off to
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: not score, or they've been paid off to foul. You know,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: like there's the problem with these things is you could
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: bet on anything.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: You can bet on anything, anything, anything, So if you're
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: a crooked and what has been like the most crooked
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: aspect of the fucking human race over the past like
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: one hundred years, other than the legal system, the most
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: crooked aspect there's been sports betting.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: It's always crooked sports, some politics, pol they're all the same. Yeah,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: it's the same. It's money, it's anywhere anytime, it's money involved,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: and decisions can be shifted, influence can be used to
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: make something happen.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: But it seems like that with with most things that
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: people you know have some type of you know, hierarchy,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: desire for they they they gonna put something in, you know,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: like even with like awards in games, this is a
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: who can promote the best and who can if you
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: can take all the people that vote to dinner and
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: you know, smuse them at dinner. It's going to be
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: a thing where who's going to beat you when you
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: have all the voters, or you have a situation where
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: you have people that work for your company that can vote,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: saying who, how are you not going to vote for
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: the project that the company put out? Right, Yeah, you
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: know we got sixty voters, you know, so we at
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: least got sixty votes.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I think you said it best when you said the hierarchy.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: That's really what it is. It's in anything that has
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: any kind of a hierarchy. Politics is the ultimate example.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Politics is the ultimate ultimate example.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: But there's there's that hierarchy shit in everything in the world. Everything.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: It trips people up.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: But with politics it is a little more detrimental than
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: with sports. You know, sports sports is you know, you
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: gambling people trying to win things. But with politics, it's
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: like if you're not somebody that's not qualified can be
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: in a position where you know, they make a decisions
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: on the masses of people's lives.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Not just that they can appoint judges, which is they
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: can appoint crazy judges. Like there's obviously judges, like they
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: have disputes, Well, why do they have disputes because they're
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: ideologically captured on both sides. There's people that are like,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: you know, like certain right wing judges. You throw some
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: case out there, that's a right wing case, what abortion rights,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: whatever it is, immigration, you know how they're gonna vote.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Same thing with left wing people, like hardcore left wing people.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: You guarantee trans women in sports, trans women or women
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: let play in sports. That was a recent Supreme Court order.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Three judges said that trans women should be able to
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: play in women's sports. The rest of them said fuck no.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Six canceled it out luckily.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: And you know those people are not take into account
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: the sport like it's a difference if you was originally
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: something and now you're playing a something else, your strength
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: is different everything. And you know you don't feel that
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: until your daughter get knocked out the ring when she's
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: supposed to be boxing somebody that that's the same agenda,
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: and then now she's holds out. Our phase broke from
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: It's insane, it's insane, it's and it's not cruel to
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: not let that happen in sports. That's what Title nine
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: is about in the first place. Give women the opportunity
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: to play in an equal time as men's. It's a
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: good thing. Having men that think they're women play with
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: women is fucking crazy. Like what it doesn't mean, you know,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: you need to castles people out of society, doesn't mean anything.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: You live and let live. I agree, but get the
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: fuck out of the women's room. Give a dick, you
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: get the fuck off the team' you're running track at
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: a literal a women's Olympic level and you're fifteen. Why
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: because as you have a dick, this is crazy. You're
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: not really a girl. This is nuts.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: That's the that's the world we live in. And what's
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: I'm not even gonna say that's the world we live in.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: That's the world that's being presented to us at this point.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: That that's right, you know, and it's you know, it's
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: a lot of things. It's like this man, you this
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: is why in comedy I choose not to go the
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: current of the current affail or the political route, because
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: I don't have time to separate the room. I'm too
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: busy trying to do things to bring the room together.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: And that's more of a righteous aim for me.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Well you I said this before, I also say it live publicly.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: What you've done is very extraordinary because you've made a
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: giant following online completely organically. It's very inspiring because all
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: you do is just do your thing the best that
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: you can and put it out there and it just
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: keeps growing. It's amazing, it's very it's very cool, it's
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: very inspirational, and it's you should be proud of it
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: because what you've done, like I said, it's totally organic.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Like you don't have a bunch of production companies pushing
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: you and trying to make you more popular than you are. No,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: it's all just putting it out there and getting this
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: gigantic following just from your work. Just the work.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Appreciate it. And then you know, even with that, you
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: still have some type of responsibility to not see things
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: the same as other people. Like what I just got
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: all this flack about me talking about the how this
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: business of people inflating things has caused depression in comics.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: You know that we're supposed to be a happy craft,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: but now it's this big push about if you're not
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: on social media, you're not on this, You're not on
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: a lot of these comics are you know, going through
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: this mental health thing where they always sad about their numbers,
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: you know, or this, that and the third like, yo, man,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: it is a it's a thing, and some people inflate things,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: and everybody wants to be on the same level. So
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: sometimes you you can't be or you can, but people
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: look at it as a certain way where when you're
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: proud of the steps that you've taken. And if I
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: played in the G League, that's not the NBA. So
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't say that I was playing I played in
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: the league because I know what the league means. I know,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: you know, I know this says this the G League.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: But when I present myself, yo, you know, I play
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: in the league, people automatically think the NBA. You know,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: it's not it's not. The G League is not and
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: not knocking the G League, but that's not the first
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: thing that comes to my mind, you know, you know,
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: it's just a playing for the Washington Generals is not
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: the NBA. Even though you played against the Globe Trotters,
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: they were great players. We know how this game goes.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: But people, that's how people see things now.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Well, the number things is real. The numbers thing is
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: a real problem with people because it gives you a
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: quantifiable measure of whether or not you're doing well. And
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: if you already have anxiety, which a lot of comedians have,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: you're already like socially awkward, which a lot of comedians are.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: You don't feel accepted, how a lot of comedians feel.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: And then you look at those numbers, You're like, twenty
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: four hundred. I only have twenty four hundred followers. I've
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: been doing comedy for seven years. Why do I only
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: have twenty four hundred follow And then you go to
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: someone's page that you never even heard of have one
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: point two million. You're like, what the fuck.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: And so this is about being grateful in the position
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: that you're in. I remember when they would people was
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: pushing me how you need to get on the internet,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: you need to be on social media to be okay.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: But I would see those people that had all those followers,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: and that same year, the year before that, I did
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: a half hour special Comedy Central. Then the year twenty eighteen,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: I did a full hour of special for Comedy Central.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: I had five hundred followers on Instagram. I had three
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: hundred followers, three hundred subscribers on YouTube on a page
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: that I didn't own. I had to fight to get
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: this page. I had less people on Facebook, but I
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: was efficient in what I was doing, so the numbers
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: didn't They didn't pick me because I had these numbers.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: They picked me because I came and I did what
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: I did, and then they, oh, he's great. So then
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: we started going, you know, a route to build it up,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: but we were already getting things prior.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: To the numbers, right were years this again.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: This is seventeen and eighteen.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, So the difference is that in seventeen and eighteen
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: people were just starting to be aware of the power
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: of social media, and then they were really concentrating on
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: different comics that had a large social media following. You know,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I think that was like right when it first started happening.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Dane Cook had blew up before that.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: That was a yeah, that was a MySpace.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: That was a MySpace to have the Internet another Internet trail.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: That's true, that was different. But the differences, like he
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: had gotten so huge just from that that he was
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: already doing like arenas and when they so he was
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: already huge and then they just went with him. But
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: he was like super popular. Now it's like super popular
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: on social media. It's one of the most important things.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: So now now moving up to this because I have
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: a strong walk with this. So I have a million
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: follows here, a million followers there, all these specialist I
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: still didn't get invited to the BT Awards. I still
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: didn't get in. I still don't get invited to a
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: bunch of things. I still get looked over for things,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: even though I have numbers and success. But I don't
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: worry about it. I'm just in my I'm not watching
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: to judge my self against what somebody else is doing.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: It's guys who have less everything, but they're in this
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: in this round where they they had every they had everything.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: I see guys is at everything with no with no
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: specials and no proven thing. They just around and I'm like, okay,
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: but it's I'm not I think the point that I'm
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: not judging myself up against what somebody is doing socially.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: But that's also easier when you're successful, and you're successful,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: you're very successful. So the difference is like when you
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: sell out these shows and you put out these specials,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: like I've seen your specials have millions of views, So
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: it's like, obviously you have a following if you didn't
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: and you were doing the same thing, then it'll be
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: a problem. But then also that would It's like comedy
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, not always, but a lot
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: of ways. Is a meritocracy. If you're good, people will come.

  Speaker 2: But I also have no desire to inflate things and
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: compare myself to somebody else, make myself seem like I'm
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: more than what it is. Like Guys, hey man, I
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: got I'm at this room. I got fifty tickets sold, Okay,
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: how much the room? See the room seat three hundred? Okay, cool?
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: You have fifty people more than you have then if
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: you didn't play the room. You know what I'm saying,
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: because who knows you in Utah? Your building. It's a
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: building thing. Like I got all of this, all of
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: this going on. But if I go to Utah, I'm
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: in a comedy club, it doesn't matter what happened the
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: night before. I was just an arena. But in you tall,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: it's like it takes me back to on trading places.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: It was saying, he said, hey, man, this is he gave,
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: he gives all this elaborate what this watch is. And
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: that man said, this is what this calls in saying,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Look like, I don't care about you ponding the watch
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying, So I don't have that, and I'm
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: not if I it's like you. You you own a club, Okay,
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: it's guys that can come to your club and sell
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: your club out. And then it's guys that come to
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: the club and you pay for the room. Okay, Then
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: there's guys like when you're in the theater. Some you
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: can scale a theater down. Some theaters hold forty six
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: hundred people, but you can scale it down to two thousand.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: But then the I'm not going to say, if the
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: room holds forty six hundred, I put two thousand tickets
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: on sale. I didn't sell out the theater. I sold
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: what I put on sale. You know what I'm saying,
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Because I'm not to the point where I can get
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: the forty six hundred. Yet if I could sell the
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: room out, then I would need to relish the real
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: accomplishment versus the the lesser accomplishment.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: And that's and because I don't have this thing where
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: I'm in competition with what happened before me, you.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Know, so with people.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: So I'm in San Antonio, we at we're at the theater.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: And because people can make you feel bad about anything.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: If you if you a person that feels bad, just
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: think Minnesota. It's it's all these people that's on the
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: team that play for the Boston Celtics that are millionaires.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: They already millionaires, they play in the league. Boston traded
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: seven people to Minnesota for one person, Kevin Garnett. They
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: got rid of seven human for one person. So it's like,
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: if I was a person that felt bad about my career,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: this would would make me feel bad. Like they they
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: like the first person that they the Okah, I'm gona
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: trade this person for that. They're like, no, well i'm
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: gonna give you two more people. They're like no, and
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: then I'm gonna give you four more people like okay,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: and and and a lottery pick. Okay, I'm gonna feel horrible.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: They traded me for seven people. Y'all don't even want
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: me realistically, So Boston went they got Kevin Garnett. I mean,
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: what's yeah, Kevin Garnett and seven other millionaires. They got
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: all this money, got all this they went to Minnesota.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. So if somebody wanted to
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: make you feel bad about something, you know, they they
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: could if that's how you are. So I'm at I'm
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: in San Antonio. The line is around the block. The
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: place is sold out. It's the same set out, no
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: matter who come to like that. Lady said to my
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: face tomorrow, you should have saw it when mad Rife came.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: In my mind, I like, and I ad.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: Let's say, was it a different theater? She said, no,
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: same theater. So when Matt Rife came, he sold it out.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: I sold out two nights, I mean two days in
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: the same night. But her thing was, you should have
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: saw when mad Rife came. I was like, Okay, she
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: probably wanted you to feel bad.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: I was like, but I'm not good for you, but
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: good for you. But the thing is a lot of
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: people would That's what it is. A lot of people
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: are in competition with other people. I think you should
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: be inspired by other people, you know, if you want
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: to compete in that way, be inspired. But the moment
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: you turn it into a negative. It's like, are you
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: you're a fool? You're being a fool.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Compete and charity.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Also, inspiration is power. It's fuel. If you see someone
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: doing well, so you see someone set and you like it,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: that's fuel that makes you want to go work, makes
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: you want to get some shit done, makes you It
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: gives you energy, or it could cripple you if you're
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: a dummy. If you're a dummy and you get angry
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: and you get bitter, and then you just put all
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: this negativity on the person who's doing better than you,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: which a lot of people do.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: That's that's so weird. That's a weird dynamics in this
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: business when you know that it's going to be people
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: no matter what you're doing, it's going to be somebody
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: doing better than you. When I was in comedy clubs,
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: I remember being there and they were paper in the room. Okay,
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: I wasn't saying I was selling out, they was papering.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: I know. Out of all the its three hundred people there,
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: two hundred and forty of these people came because it
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: was it was freeing. They sent out they email blast.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: But then what I looked at was they wanted to come.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it wanted to come to, probably comedy fans, which
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: is why they're on the email list in the first place.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: And then those people, you give them a great show,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: they'll come back.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Then the next time I came, they didn't pay for
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: the room. They sold it. They sold the tickets.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: That's that's how it used to be. Man, that was
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: the old days before social media. You would build a market,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: so you would just show up at Philadelphia once a year,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: show up, do your homework, like, make sure you got
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: a tight set, you've been practicing, you're ready to rock,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: fuck these people up, and then leave and then they're like,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: can't wait till you guys are back again. And then
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: next time you come back, you know, all right, I
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: built an audience. Now I can't disappoint these people. I
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: gotta get fired up. And that's what it used to be.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: It used to be a totally organic thing across the
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: whole country.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: Is it a thing? Is it a difference in your opinion,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: between me bringing my audience to a venue from whatever
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: other thing that I do, versus people coming that don't
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: know anything about me, and me winning that person over versus.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: The it's different. Yeah, it's a different thing. You know
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: people are coming to see you specifically you've already won
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: them over. That's a different thing. Or they want to
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: take a chance on you. That's a different thing because
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: I've heard about you. But when you know, that's a
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: completely different thing because that's your You have an audience.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Now you have fans. When you are just performing at
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: a club and it's a papered room, you have an opportunity.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: You have an opportunity to turn these people into fans.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: You have an opportunity to give these people a great
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: night and have a good time. And also you're doing
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: your fucking thing, which is the most important thing of all.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Everybody is results oriented. I try to be process oriented.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: When I with everything I do, I'm process oriented. I
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: think about there's a goal that you got to reach,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: but how do you get to that goal. The way
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: you get there is not thinking about the goal. The
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: way you get there is thinking about what you're doing.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: What's the process. The process is writing bits, performing them,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: tweaking them, getting them tight, knowing, reviewing tapes, going over
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: your material, going over your writing, talking with friends. And
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: then every day it gets a little bigger every day,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: it gets a little better. Every day that knife gets
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: a little sharper. That's the process. That's the process that
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: leads you to become whoever whoever you are.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: And then you add other little pieces in that process.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: I remember I was talking to Bobby Lee and me
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: and Bobby Lee talking. I said, Bobby, you don't realize
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: where you met me at. And He's like, well, it's
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: just a good it's going to be a good story.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Is a bad stories?
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: I said, you met me at at the Houston Improv.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: And they called me and asked me, did I want
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: to host a room that I already sell out? You
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. They asked me that I want
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: to host. I said cool. So I came and I
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: hosted and I was not trying to, but I was
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: destroying his feature. I'm just hosting.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: We should not be hosting, and especially at the Houston Improv.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: But my thing was this was years this is years ago.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: But I say, Bobby, you didn't understand when the when
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: I was hosting at the Houston Improv, I was doing
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: something that most people didn't understand why I was even
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: doing it. Well, like and they would see like, why
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: would you be hosting? I said, because I'm not going
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: to be in front of Bobby Lee's audience. But it's
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: people that live in Houston, that his audience that I
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: have no idea, that have no idea who I am,
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: I said, Bobby. But before you, I say, I was
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: coming to the Houston Improv hosting for multiple people, and
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: I was just winning over fans that would never have
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: seen me. If they wasn't coming to see you, they
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: wouldn't be coming to my show. I said. So before
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: that it was you were last Bobby, it was you,
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: and the week prior to that, it was Monstere Brownie,
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: and the week prior to that was what's my girl Angela?
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: Johnson answered Johnson. And before that it was some random
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: white guy. I said, I just came and I want
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: to do. I'm a comic, so me hosting was no
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: big deal. I wasn't working, so I said, well, let
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: me just come hosted. That's what they want me to do.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: So I gained fans from four different audiences in a month.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: So when I came back, they was like, yo, I
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: saw you with mars Jebranni and so I came back.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: I came back to see you when you when you
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: put your show up, I'm like cool, So my process.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: That was a part of my process. It didn't matter
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: who I hosted for. And then I was like, okay, cool,
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: you know, let me let me go. Like when I
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: hosted for Bill Burr. Bill Burr was like, this is crazy.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: We had we in Austin at the Paramount and I said,
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: I said, the worst thing about this was that at
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: the time, I was wearing all black. And I went
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: to the show and when I walked on stage, the
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: first thing I said is, Hey, I do not work here.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: Don't like eight people ask me where's the bathroom. I
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: don't know, I don't work. But it was like I
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: look like an usher.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Yo.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: I'm like, yo, this sucks. But it was a cool game.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: That's a smart approach. I mean, that's a great way
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: to build, especially if you're already headlining. Yeah. I think
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: I think that that thing about concentrating on the process,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: people should try to apply that to everything. You know,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: my friend John Dudley, who taught me archery, he's a
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: big believer in that being process oriented, like so you
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: get better at archery, and he used to compete all
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: over the world travel compete in archery tournaments. I think
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: that's the I think that applies to everything. I think
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: that applies to music. I think that applies to everything.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: The more I think it's one of the things that
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: trips people up about social media a lot of these
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: young guys, in particular young people killer is that they
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: are thinking about other people, and they are comparing themselves
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: to other people, and they are looking at those numbers,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: and you're you're looking you're spending all of your energy.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: If you haven't allotted one hundred units of energy in
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: a day, you're spending a disproportionate amount on things that
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: don't empower you and actually kind of fuck your head up,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: not good for you at all. Instead of saying, Wow,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: I am chasing the fucking dream, right, I am out
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: here being a professional comedian, and I have a real
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: chance to develop a real following if I put my
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: time in, I put my effort, I really care and
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: I really work hard. I could sell out a theater
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: one day. That's possible. Like that's a goal. It should
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: be a goal, just like getting your PhD in chemistry
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: or whatever the fuck it is. Your goal is. But
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: the process is what's important. The process is like appreciating
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: what you're doing, why you're doing it and just bearing
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: down and doing your best. That's it.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: And in other people you look at them as inspiration,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: other people that are kicking ass. You know, don't go,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: don't become a hater. That shit is so bad for you.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: I know so many dudes who have like hater tendencies
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: and they never excel. Never. It's the the counter thinking
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: of an excellent person is a hater. Someone is always
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: trying to diminish people and downplay people and look at
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: someone in the least charitable way and the worst possible way,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: just somehow another trying to make themselves feel better. But
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: it doesn't work. It does the opposite of work. It
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: robs you. It robs you of your self esteem, it
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: robs you of your self respect. You spend so much
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: time thinking about this other dude, like why.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: It's a lot of it's a lot of energy. And
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: my dad, it's one this is one story that I
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: did not put in the special that I should have.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: And my dad had all these these thoughts and he
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: was I lively say he was a crazy man. But
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: when you think about the things that he would say
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: made sense, my dad, and why would you be telling
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: me this at the age each that, but he just
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: gave them. I think I was like eleven, and my
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: dad out of nowhere and say, you know something, people
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: spend spend the same time and money on being fake
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: when they can put put that same time and money
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: into being real. Yeah, And I'm like, I didn't know,
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: I understand what that meant. But as I got older,
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: if you spend any money or time faking something, you
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: could probably spend that money and time being real about something.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: You know, why go buy a fake necklace to attack
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: like you rich when you can go buy a real necklace.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: If I'm saying at some point what I'm saying, and
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: you know, be actually be rich, you know, if that's
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: what if you get compared it to necklaces. But I
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: just didn't understand it at the time. But then as
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: I got older, I understood, like, why put this Why
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: put this time in and to pretending when you can
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: put that same energy and then become real at what
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: you do. That makes no sense.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: My uncle Vinny, when I was six or seven years old,
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: I was staying at it at his house with my cousins,
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: and uh, we were we were supposed to brush our
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: teeth and I didn't like following rules period, and so
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't brush my teeth. Instead, I would take toothpaste
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: and mushing around on my teeth and so that when
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: they smelled my breath, they would smell toothpaste. And my
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: uncle explained to me, he goes, he goes, Uh, I
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: understand why you're doing it, he goes, But the amount
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: of time that you're spending pretending to brush your teeth,
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: you could have just brushed your teeth. And I thought
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: about that when I was six. I was like, damn.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: I was just a little kid. But I was like, Hi,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: he's right, Why am I faking brushing it? My uncle
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Vinie was like super patient, super calm at all my
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: family members. He was the strangest out of all these wild,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: crazy Italian people like he was. He was an artist,
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: and he was like very soft spoken and never got
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: angry about anything. I'd always speak really rationally. I was like, God,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: he's so smart, it's so peaceful. He just but the
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: way he laid it out when he didn't say, hey,
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: I know you're not brushing your teeth. You a little
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: fuck's what's that? It was the time you're spending pretending
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: to brush your teeth. You could have just brushed your teeth,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: but it was like sometimes adults will say something to
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: you like that when you're six, and it just gets
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: in your head. You're like, whoa, Okay, that just saved
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: me a whole lot of time I brush them. Just
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: brush your fucking teeth. Stop pretending. Stop faking. It doesn't
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: help anything. It does the opposite.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: Does the opposite. And you know, people, the truth sometimes
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: is hurtful to people.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: The truth doesn't feel good, you know, to a lot
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: of people unfortunately. But you know, you have to look
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: at it, you have to have perspective.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: But that's the ultimate hate right there. That's the ultimate hate,
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: is for me to give you a falsehood instead of
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: take you the truth. Right that's the ultimate It's the
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: ultimate hate.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Especially if like you're making up a background for yourself,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: you're making up a story about your life that's not true.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: You're pretending you're somewhere in life that you're not.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: You know, yo, man, just do the thing, Just do
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: the thing.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: But it's hard for people. It's hard for people. And
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: then there's a lot of people that think you just
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: fake it until you make it and then you hear
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: stories this guy I had five hundred dollars in my
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: bank account, but I told them I got this, I
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: got that loan. And next thing you know, my business
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: is making all this money, and you go, wow, he
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: faked it until he maked it and it worked, and
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: you think.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: So few and forward. Then they never tell you that
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: got go was the jail later.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: For fraud a hundred percent.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: The fans busted my ales three years later and took
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: everything like, okay.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Exactly like when they arrested Carlsmancia recently. I feel like
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: all those counts of tax fraud, I was like, okay,
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: I don't want that to happen to him, but there
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: it is, right, I mean, that's what.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: I'm not laughing at, Calm. I'm just laughing the fact
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: that like, yeah, yeah, when they busted.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: I mean I didn't, I wasn't. Didn't bring me any
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: joy to see that. I don't like anybody getting arrested
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: for taxes. I think. I think taxes until they have
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: an accurate account of where the fucking money goes and
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: until you completely eliminate all fraud and waste, What the
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: fuck are you doing locking people up for not paying taxes,
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: like you guys should get locked up for not doing
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: a good job with our money.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: So what did you think about all the new purchases
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: in redoing the White House and all this tax dollars?
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Did they do it with tax dollars? How much money
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: do they spend tax dollars to do the Ballroom's find out?
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: What's that?
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: They need a ballroom though? That's how that guy snuck
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: in with a gun because they tried to do that
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: White House correspondence dinner in a hotel. That dude who
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: got arrested a few months back.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: What's this? This? This resolution? The pool something full of
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: algae right now that we spent on the Yeah.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know about that. That's something about making the
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: pool look nice. But whatever that is, reflecting pool.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, to reflect.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: Reports indicate the new White House East Wing ballroom is
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: projected to cost about six hundred million, with roughly half
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: just over three hundred million, coming from taxpayer funded government accounts,
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: despite earlier promises that it would be taxpayer free. Three
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: hundred million sounds like a lot until you find out
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: how much money they spend on other things. When you
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: find out how much, just how much fraud is in NGOs,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: how much fraud is in nonprofits, how much fraud is
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: in insider trading and propping up companies so that they
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: can get better deals. Well, the whole thing is fraud.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: The thing is if you spending I understand how much
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: money goes and other things, but if you spending any
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: money that that that's my money that I don't know
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: that I need it or that's not really the aim.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: The goal should be able to vote on it.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: You should be able to vote on where all your
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: tax money goes. How much money is, how much tax
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: money is being spilled to own getting smart people in places,
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: getting smart, making smart children.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: That's the big one.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: That's the that's the thing.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: The big one is if you look at our country
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: as a community, and that's what we're supposed to be doing.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: We're supposed to be the United States of America, all
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: that bull should decide. That was the one good thing
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: that happened about nine to eleven. When nine to eleven happened,
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: after that, we were all united. It was crazy. It
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: was crazy. We realized, like we are actually on a team.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: So if we're on a team, why do we have
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: these deeply impoverished neighborhoods for decades and decades that are
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: riddled with crime and drug abuse? Why is it impossible
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: to fix That's crazy, that's not true. It's just no
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: one's tried to fix it. No one's done any effort
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: to fix it. And if you did fix it, you
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: want to make America great, here's the best way. Less losers.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: And how do you get less losers? More opportunities for people,
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: more opportunities, more support, more education, more everything that you
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: need if it was your neighborhood. And if we did that,
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: we'd have to switch the way our system runs. But
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: that could be done. Man, they don't have to have losers,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: not that many.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: That's the thing about make America great? Right, If you're
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: trying to make anything great, don't you need intelligent people
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: to do that?
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: Of course? Number one thing, so when we.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: Have all these divisive people that that's on a lower vibration,
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: how is that making the country the country great? If
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: we're putting people in position that don't have the experience
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: or the education in those things, and then we're just
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: saying a bunch of divisive things, you know, you know
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: it's it was if I'm watching the extravaganza that happened
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: at the White House? What was the thing? Michelle Obama
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: is a man? Like, how did that help? How did
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: that help?
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: That guy says that every time.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: He but what is the what is the thing? First
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: of all, it's it's really divisive because you know that
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: a large portion of the country's gonna take this, that's
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: gonna have a problem with this. You know, clearly she's
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: not a man. You know what I'm saying, But it
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: makes no sense. Like two, I've never seen this many
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: people say so many damaging things about a past president
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: and it's like he's still on the forefront and it's
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: not like we have a president that's doing the greatest
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: job for this this country. You know, which is which
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: is weird or weird thing to me? And people going
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: to ask, is that was the belief? That's the that's
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: the real belief of people, that's the real thing.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: Well, listen, there's some crazy people that believe the world
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: is flat. There's a lot of dumb beliefs. There's probably
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: people that do believe. Michelle Obama's a man. What that
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: guy does, he's like a pro wrestler, Like he's got
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: a character called the incredible hulk. It's very corny in
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: a lot of ways. Sometimes it's you know, cringey. But
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: the point is he gets a lot of attention, a
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: lot of attention because of all this. That's what he's doing.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: So what he's trying to do is maximize the amount
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: of attention that he can get for a very short
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: window of career. This is not how he really feels,
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: how he really thinks when you talk to him in
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: real life. Very reasonable. This is an act that he does,
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: like a pro wrestling act. But what he can do
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: is fight. He's really good, and that's what's so confusing
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: about it all. So you got this guy who's created
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: like this fake persona where he puts on an American
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: flag bandan that comes out the Haul Cogan music, does
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: all his interviews with sunglasses on, has a bunch of
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: crazy silly rhymes and says ridiculous shit, just trying to
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: get attention, the most amount of attention. So it is
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: very divisive, don't get me wrong, but that's by design.
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: So he's Haul Hogan and Randy Savage.
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: The same actual fighter, a really fucking good one man.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: He just knocked out Derek Lewis at the White House.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: Derek Lewis has the most knockouts in all history of.
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: The don't don't, don't do that, don't do that, don't
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: do what this this, don't don't don't say that. It's
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: so excited because Derek Lewis go to the same gym
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: on Main Street boxing Jimmy Houston, I'm very close.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: To that, dude. I love Derek.
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: I don't like the fact that Derek Lewis lost that fight.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: I think is Derek Derek of ten years ago would
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: have been a real fucking problem for dude, because Derek
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: of ten years ago, you couldn't hold him down. He
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: would just get up. There's a whole compilation of people
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: trying to hold Derek Lewis down. He just gets a
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: hand on you and just whoop his grip. They did
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: that UFC grip thing where they test the grip. Everybody's
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: like one forty. The strong ones are like one sixty.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: One night Derek just squeezed it casual to eighteen and
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: they were like, what the fuck?
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: So you see how problematic this was for me. You
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: already beat my friend Dan. You turn around and say
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: he beat a forty year old Derek A forty old
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: Derek Lewis dan't turn around and say Michelle Obama's man.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: I was like, Okay, you know what you're saying. I'm pissed.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: You're right, Listen, you're right, But I'm telling you, if
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: you met that dude in real life, you would get it.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: He's just a dude. He's just a guy who is
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: a competitive wrestler, played in the NFL, and he's like,
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: I got to do something to figure out how to
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: get people to pay attention to me, because it can't
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: just be fighting. It's not enough. If you look at
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: Connor McGregor, you at Sugarshan O'Malley, you look at these
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: guys that have these flamboyant personalities, these big personalities, they
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: get Casius Clay's the original example. They get an immense
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: amount of attention and that translates into much more money
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: and much more opportunities. There's no fucking way that guy
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: would have gotten that fight at the White House if
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: he couldn't fight, because the fight that he had before that,
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: he fought Curtis Blaze, who was a top ten UFC
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: heavyweight huge wrestler, and they went to war. Dude, I
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: mean he put it on him for three fucking rounds,
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: Like Curtis just has an insane heart and survived it.
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: But that guy can fucking fight. But just that alone's
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: not enough. But you got to get attention. I don't
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: agree with it. I don't. I wouldn't do it. It's
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: not my thing. I don't like it, right, but I
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: get it and it's smart.
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: Well, Muhammad Ali though he was very respectful in his
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: in his in his act, you know, to get attention,
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: Just how he wasn't. I mean he wasn't with other people.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: But he would show up at fucking Sonny Liston's house
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: and scream about him on his fucking front lawn at
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: four in the morning. He did wild, crazy shit.
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: He he did it.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: He did a lot of why. He was just all
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: about getting your heart rate up, getting your emotions in there.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: He was so fucking smart. He knew before everybody that
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: you could just get somebody into a frenzy and they
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to sleep. Their whole life revolved around
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: fighting you. And I can't let this guy beat me
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: in the fear of losing. He's gonna keep you weak,
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: it's gonna keep you You're not gonna be able to
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: eat as much food. You're gonna feel nervous.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: But you see what happened when somebody called him.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah, he was not what fighter was
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: that he kept punishing.
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: But that that didn't work out for him. He beat the.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: Heat him and he carried him. He carried him. He's
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: beating his ass, dude. He was a special, special guy.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: It's you know, I'm not comparing him in terms of
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: his cultural significance to Josh Hokit because you know he was. Uh,
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: my parents, my mother and my stepfather were hippies. They
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: never watched fighting. But when he had a rematch with
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: Leon Spinks, that's how much of a cultural figure he was.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: They wanted him to beat Leon Spinks. My god, he's
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: gonna win. He's got to win. Hippies sitting in front
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: of the fucking TV in like nineteen seventy whatever.
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: It was, how crazy they have Italian hippies? Because I
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: heard it was like my family, like I thought they
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: was a Italian.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: It was, well, they were hippies, but you know, my
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: grandmother went to jail for running numbers for the mob.
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: So it's like there was a lot of okay, there
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: was a lot of a lot of Yeah, Grandma went
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: away for a little bit. She wouldn't rat him out,
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: so she did some time.
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: I was at a I was at a show one
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: time and I said, well, all the Africans and in
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: in here and this Italian dude he's from Sicily. He
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: raised his hand and I said, and the people like,
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: why is he raising him? Like he knows, he knows.
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: It's really good reason why Sicilians have darker hair, curly hair,
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: darker skin.
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: He was like yeah, and that's all I said was
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: he knows, and and people who got it it was
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: like right. And at that point it's like when people
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: don't know that that you have some sort of level
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: of intelligence information was like whoa, Okay, it's a it's
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: a big but that's that's funny though Italian. But my
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: mother also.
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, there's a lot of hip piece back then, man.
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: And I think the original idea behind it was great.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: And I was just watching this thing today about the
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: c I A and LSD and what they did. It
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: was really funny.
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: It was a yeah, animal, isn't it dope? See if
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: you can find it, put it up because it's kind
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: of cool.
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: I'm conveniently an mk ultrae hearing going on right now in.
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: The Oh, how convenient Colson bro that they I got
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: it right here, Jamie, I'll sent it to you. They
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: one percent are still doing that. No if answer, butts
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: if you think they did that in the sixties and
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: then one hundred percent did if they're doing mind control
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: experiments on people, and they're influencing people's opinions, and half
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: of the reason why people were at odds with each
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: other all day long on it online is probably government intervention.
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: At one point, there's some government's intervention. This is just
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: not ours, Russia and China and.
• 49:37
  Speaker 6: This is wow that Yeah, he created the hippie movement,
• 49:40
  Speaker 6: and your mom's favorite band probably helped them. In the
• 49:43
  Speaker 6: nineteen fifties, the CIA bought up the world supply of LSD.
• 49:47
  Speaker 6: They brought it to the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly, who
• 49:49
  Speaker 6: reverse engineered it, giving them an unlimited supply and a
• 49:53
  Speaker 6: complete monopoly. Then the testing started. One early volunteer for
• 49:57
  Speaker 6: these tests was Ken Kesey. Kesey wrote a book inspired
• 50:00
  Speaker 6: by this experience, which became a bestseller. Then Kesey went
• 50:03
  Speaker 6: on to host events which he called acid tests, and
• 50:06
  Speaker 6: he wasn't charging anyone. He just wanted people to show
• 50:09
  Speaker 6: up and do acid. For these events, he hired an
• 50:12
  Speaker 6: unknown house band called The Grateful Dead. These events became
• 50:15
  Speaker 6: wildly popular, and with them rose the popularity of the band.
• 50:19
  Speaker 6: So the Grateful Dead begins touring and Kesey follows them
• 50:21
  Speaker 6: around in a bus from show to show, and everywhere
• 50:24
  Speaker 6: he went he brought a vat full of kool A
• 50:26
  Speaker 6: laced with LSD. This guy had a seemingly endless supply,
• 50:29
  Speaker 6: exporting the hippie culture all around the US. Meanwhile, the
• 50:32
  Speaker 6: CIA is flooding college campuses with LSD under the guise
• 50:36
  Speaker 6: of research, and the Grateful Dead was just one of
• 50:38
  Speaker 6: many bands in this movement. At the same time, in
• 50:41
  Speaker 6: Laurel Canyon came a wave of musicians with something in common.
• 50:44
  Speaker 6: They were all children of high ranking military officials. The
• 50:47
  Speaker 6: biggest names in music. Jim Morrison of The Doors was
• 50:50
  Speaker 6: the son of an admiral. Frank Zappa's father was a
• 50:52
  Speaker 6: chemical warfare specialist. Even Crosby, Stills and Nash, Yeah, all
• 50:57
  Speaker 6: three of them, and all of these bands as well.
• 50:59
  Speaker 6: The theory is the CIA orchestrated the hippie movement to
• 51:02
  Speaker 6: steer a very real anti war movement into something a
• 51:05
  Speaker 6: little easier to combat, descent without teeth.
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: The hippie slogan was literally.
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: Turn on, tune in, and rap out.
• 51:15
  Speaker 6: In other words, do acid and remove yourself from society,
• 51:18
  Speaker 6: and a lot of them did drop out of society
• 51:20
  Speaker 6: to go live in communes in the woods. This intersection
• 51:23
  Speaker 6: between hippie culture and the CIA could all be a great,
• 51:26
  Speaker 6: big coincidence. Maybe military brats naturally want to rebel, and
• 51:31
  Speaker 6: maybe the CIA was giving away acid because they're chill
• 51:33
  Speaker 6: like that. Maybe the CIA created the hippie movement and
• 51:37
  Speaker 6: your mom's favorite band probably helped them.
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's crazy.
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: That's wild. They also had a big influence on gangster rap,
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: big influence on promoting gangster for sure. One hundred. Yeah,
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: they wanted to fill prisons.
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: You want to push that over anything else, you know,
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: because we can look at how rap music changed and
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: get it changed, you know, nineteen ninety two. Yeah, after
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: nineteen ninety two, they was like no more positive rap.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: Well, it was whenever Straight out of Compton came out.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: Because I was in Boston at the time, I would
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: remember to the day it happened.
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: But Straight Out of Compton wasn't a drug field induced out.
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: It was if you look at some of the sult
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: you look at a lot of the songs that was
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: on an album, it was rebellious songs against the system, you.
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: Know, fuck the police.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: And then nineteen ninety two man when they decided, Yo,
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: we don't want no more day La Soul, we don't
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: no more trial call quests. We don't want no you
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: get them leather medallions off your It's like, yo, we
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: need we need like Yo, they like self Destruction and
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: West Coast West Coast All Stars. They was like what
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: they coming together? Oh no, you know, we need this
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: to be divisive. We need them to separate. And that's
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: crazy that the biggest times that I've experienced this country
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: being together was the Olympics when the Dream Team came
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: nine eleven and COVID. That's the biggest time that we
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: the three biggest times I've ever seen us together.
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because we need something. We need something that's real.
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: We need some sort of an event that makes us
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: realize first of all the fragility of life. That's important,
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: and we have to realize that we're all supposed to
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: be a part of a team, and.
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: You can't play on a team if your teammates don't
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: think that you that you're valuable.
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: Not only that you can't play on a team, if
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: your teammates are poisoning you, if your teammates are allowing
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: you to eat rotten food so that you can't play,
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: and maybe giving you inferior gear on purpose, and maybe
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: keeping you in a place where you can't get sleep
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: so that you're not gonna Evolve's like, you're always gonna
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: be tired, You're gonna be fatigued, so you're never gonna
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: get better at whatever the fuck it is you're doing.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: You're never gonna advance in life. You're gonna be tired,
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: you're gonna be on drugs, You're gonna be poor. This
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: episode is brought to you by Armor. Every week there's
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: some new wellness hack that people swear by, and after
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: a while you start thinking, why do we think we
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: can just outsmart our bodies. That's why armor Colostrum caught
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: my attention. It's something the body already recognizes and has
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: hundreds of these specialized nutrients for gut stuff, immunity, metabolism,
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: et cetera. I first noticed it working around training, especially
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: workout recovery. Most stuff falls off, but I am still
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: taking this. If you want to try, Armor is offering
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: my listeners thirty percent off plus two free gifts. Go
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: to armor dot com slash Rogan.
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: This is how I see that's not a good team.
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: This is how I see with parenting. It's hard to
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: parent it if your number one goal is survival, right,
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, It's hard to parent. You
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: know you you got a parent from a comfortable space.
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: You can't parent from nervous Chickens really don't lay eggs.
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: So the thing is you if like the way I
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: parent now versus how my mom. My mom was strictly survival.
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: So my thing is survival first, you know what I'm saying.
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: Then the rest of it. You know, I don't remember
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: going to on vacation with my parents, you know, like
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: vacation what your mind working through jobs and going to school,
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: trying to betterle She just taking care of you. So
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: I'm not my kids go on vacation. You know, it's different.
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: You know, So I see things from both sides all
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: the time because I'm in, which makes me grateful. I'm
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: grateful that I can do the things I can do
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: with my family, know what I'm saying versus parenting from
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: a place of frustration, you know, But I understand this,
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: this this frustration thing. You know, I'm trying to take
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: care of you and you know, and then sometimes I
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: look at my kids, like, you know something, you have
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: it really easy because if I wouldn't have washed them dishes,
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: my mom would have destroyed me because her mind said this, Hey,
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to take care of y'all. Can y'all got
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: the help in this? You know? With me, it was
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: like we have a housekeeper. I'm saying, the housekeeper coming
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: in four days out the week, you know, And now
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: I'm like, so you just gonna throw that stuff on
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: the floor, and you're making it hard for the housekeeper.
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: You know. The reason why she's here four days a
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: week is so to make your life easier. But you
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: you're adding on to by being lazy, by being lazy,
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: like like, I don't this.
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: Balance in that right? You want to protect your children,
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: but you don't want them to develop soft. You want
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: them to be able to take care of their own problems,
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: and you want them to be able to understand the
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: consequences of their actions. So this is like fine line
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: of like encouragement and punishment and like explaining to them
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: how your life was different and you have to appreciate
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: this life. This is very unusual. You're super fortunate. But
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: I think ultimately what they learn from is how you behave.
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: That's a giant part of being a parent that people
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: I don't think are totally aware of until you start
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: doing it, that they understand. Whatever the fuck you say
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: is one thing that's great what you do. What you
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: do is what they really say. And if you're a
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: lazy fucker who's always making excuses, your kids are gonna
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: not have respect for you. They're gonna know, like real
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: early on, you're kind of full shit.
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: This is the craziest thing, though. You know how hard
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: it is to put some of my own punishment and then say, hey, pack,
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: we're going to Cobo. He's like, am my own punishment.
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: We're going to combo.
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: Get your iPad for sixteen hours.
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: When we get the cobo, you stay in your room
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: and overlooked the ocean and think about your consequences as
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: you order room certace.
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: Drinking coke and cola, eating French fries.
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: Lamb chops coming to the room. He's like, yo, you
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: won't punish me, dude, And then so I can't, So
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: I can't have oysters.
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: Like here the birds chirping.
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: You're looking at the waves and like it's rough and
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: it's beings a. It's a certain part of success that
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: you almost can't punish because it's like, I'm not staying
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: at home because you don't punishment. See my mom was
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: she it's just different, you know different. My mom was
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: going her room and turn on Nasland in a dynasty
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: and I'm in my room with no TV because it
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: was only one TV. It's a TV in every room.
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. I Oh, the punishment was
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: come in here and watch falcon Crest with me. What
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: I don't want to watch no falcon Crest. And then
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: you start watching felcon Cress and now you love it.

  Speaker 2: comedy show with me to see some friends, and he
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: was fourteen at the time, and we left because it
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: was no, it was nothing. The things that were being said.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: It kind of made me go back to when Cosby
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: did the story about his son going to see Eddie
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: Murphy and his daddy said these things. And I was
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: sitting there, like, after the first two minutes, I'm like, yo,
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: we gotta get out of here, young and I'm like, yo.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: Man, But I mean the guy who's doing comedy's doing
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: comedy for adults that are drinking and no.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: Wed We was at an event where it was all
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: these bodybuilders. The gym next Level had did a show
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: for all the the the people they work out there
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: and the trainers, and I'm thinking, okay, this is at
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: a ballroom, you know, it's probably gonna be pretty cool.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: And I stopped in, you know, we set in the
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: back and then it went left and I was like, hey, man,
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: let's get out of here. And he's seen me, and
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: so he's like, nah, this ain't this ain't the same
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, I'm not I'm not going for a
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: certain type of laugh I'm not doing shock value, you know.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: So he's watched almost all the specials, you know, so
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: it's not the it's not the same for for him,
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: you know. And he looked he knows a lot of comics,
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: so it's it's not this wasn't conducive. I was like,
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: how song we out out of here? It's like, but
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: it's some comments. You can go and you can watch
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: their whole show, Like Marcus D. Wiley, he can get
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: an understanding of least marriage, you know, how marriage go
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: to give you some fuel. But I think the landscape
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: of comedy is different for different people. Not knocking the
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: people who do shock value or a lot of sexual
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: content that that's there. That's their stick, and they probably
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: young and at some point they'll grow. Hopefully they'll grow,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: and it'll be more things in life to talk about.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: People like, well, how do you have as many specials?
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: Because I have a life, you know, I had a
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: life before that I talked about and then I have
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: a life, a current life that you know, I'm still
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: experiencing things. So I'm going to talk about things that
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: that's that's a little different because I'm I'm living and
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: I'm not stuck in Sex is not the number one thing.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: I remember when I figured that I was. Sex wasn't
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: that big. When I went to you know, they had
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: to think Netflix and chill and I actually wanted to
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: watch the movie Get You on my Leg. I'm trying
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: to watch this movie. So it's the thing about the
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: development in this game and how you grow and what
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: you think about.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: Well, I think comedy is just one of the problems
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: with the label is that there's no genres. It's not
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: like blues comedy, rock and roll comedy, hip hop comedy,
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: ed M comedy. It's just comedy. You don't know what
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: it is. It's just different people's perspective on things. And
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: there's different kinds of comedy that people like. You know,
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: some people are Giant Richard Pryor fans, some people are
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: Sam Kinnison fans, some people are Jerry Seinfeld fans, and
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: some people love Bonnie Raid and some people love you
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: know whatever, James Brown fill in the blank. There's a
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: lot of different styles of music, and there's a lot
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: of different styles of comedy. And all that I care
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: is that you enjoy what you're doing, and you're doing
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: it because you enjoy it. And if you're doing that,
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: I don't give a fuck. I don't give a fuck
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: what you're doing. I don't care if you have props.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: I don't care if you write signs and hold them
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: up for the crowd. I don't give a shit what
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: you're doing. I don't care if you do impressions. I
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: don't give a fuck what you're doing.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: That that was a huge So when talk about the
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: scope of comedy, you know, I'm I can start with
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: Carol Binette and I watched that, But the guy who
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: I watched on HBO a lot, I knew I wasn't
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: gonna do that type of stand up. That was just
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: a whole different thing. But Gallagher was crazy to me, crazy,
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: That was crazy. Somebody more plastic in garbage bags around
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: the neck front, what six rows, just going.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: Splattered with watermelons and pineapples and coconuts and whatever the fuck?
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: He's cabbage ridiculous, ridiculous. But he also had some good jokes,
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: some solid jokes in between. Then dude did a ton
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: of specials. You know, the craziest story, the Gallagher story
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: is Gallagher retired and his brother took over. His brother
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: was Gallagher two, so he had a brother that kind
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: of looked.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: Like Gallagher Gallagher too.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: And then somewhere down the line, Gallagher decided he wants
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: to start doing comedy again, and he's like, hey, Gallagher two.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: The gig is up and he's like, no, no, no, no, no,
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: I'm making money. I'm Gallagher two. I think there was
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: some sort of illegal dispute to find out if that's correct,
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: there was a legal dispute between them. Gallagher's younger brother, Ron,
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: shared a strong likeness to Leo, asked him for permission
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: to perform shows using Gagher's trademark sledge oomatic routine. Leo
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: granted his permission on the contingent and the condition that
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: Ron and his manager clarified in promotional materials that this
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: was Ron Gallagher, not Leo Gallagher who was performing. Ron
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: typically performed in venues smaller than those of which Leo
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: Gallagher performed. After several years, Ron began promoting his act
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: as Gallagher two or Gallagher too or two. In some
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: it says Ron's act was promoted in a way that
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: left unclear the fact that he was not the original Gallagher.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: Leo initially responded by requesting, only did his brother not
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: use the sledg dramatic routine? You can't use the fucking
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: you can't use the sledgehammer. Ron nonetheless continued to tour
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: as Gallagher two using the routine. In August two thousand,
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: Leo sued his brother for trademark violations and false advertising.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: The court ultimately sided with Leo and granted an injunction
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: prohibiting Ron from performing any act that impersonated his brother
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: in small clubs and venues. This injunction also prohibited Ron
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: from intentionally bearing likeness to Leo. What imagine You can't
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: look like your brother. You can't cut your mustang. Yeah,
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: you gotta change you mustache, You gotta get rid of
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: the beard. That's crazy. So did did Gallagher continue with
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: his career after he kicked his brother out? Did he
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: come back? Was that part of it?
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: I think yeah?
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: I think I don't know. Nobody means it doesn't say
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: it there, didn't say it here, It doesn't say.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 3: Specifically in this paragraph.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: Now does did? When did Gallagher start performing? Again? Put
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: that in a search see what it says, because I
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: think he did start performing again.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he says he was rushed to the hospital after
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 3: performing in twenty eleven.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, in what year did he sue his brother?
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 3: Two thousand?
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: Oh so he did start doing comedy again, So that's it. Yeah,
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: so he's like, hey, motherfucker.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah he hit a special in two thousand and seven
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 3: and t Yeah.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: You can't be doing that with Gallagher too, running around
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: siphoning off of your crowd. You know, people like, honey,
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: you want to spend fifty bucks and see leo, oh
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: do you want to spend twenty bucks? See basically the
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: same shit. See Ron smashing fucking cabbage.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah you had yeah, carrot top and imagine.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: Saying yeah, you can perform, but you can't use the sledgehammer.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: I would use a mallet. What about a matt Can
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: I use a mallet?
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: It's a baseball bat. You could just have someone pitch
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: me things and I smash him into the crowd.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't own that. That's a different thing. I'm
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: handing out oranges and tomatoes and the OIDs.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I honestly, I don't give a fuck what you
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: do as long as you like what you're doing. It's
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: like I love certain kinds of music that's completely opposite
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: to the other ship that I love. I mean, I
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: like all kinds of stuff. I don't think you should
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: pigeonhole yourself with anything, but I would not take my kids,
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: especially when they're really young, to see someone who's like
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: very sexual or really rowdy or really raunchy, like you know.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: The caveat to this is he was in the green
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: room and they were looking right at him, like they like,
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, what is change? Tell me what your
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: I didn't know they act.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: But so he didn't say, hey, bro, you got young kids?
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Hey, because I would say, hey, man, tonight, you know, yeah,
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: set an event.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: I would definitely do that if, especially if you were
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: another comic and you brought your kids out of bro.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because like yo, you know, you got to get
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: him out of here.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: They don't need to know about all these techniques.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So that that's weird, you know.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: But that is weird. But you know what I mean,
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: it's like time and a place, like who was he
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: doing it for? I mean, they probably knew what he
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: did before they hired him. They probably wanted that someone's
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: a fan, which is fine, but just don't invite kids.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: And like I said, I didn't. All I did was hey,
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: how on, let's go, and that I didn't. Hey, y'all
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: should have been I'm like, hey, man, do what you do.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: But I'm getting my kid out of here, man. And
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: then you get the phone call, hey man, why you leave?
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: You don't really want to know why I'm leaving because
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: you are terrorizing my child. So yeah, it no. But
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: I definitely wouldn't take my girls to like noning.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: I'm like noning, not at all. My wife got mad
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: at me when I think one of my daughters was
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: six and the one was eighth. I had to watch
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: the movie Alien. Did you ever see that movie Alien?
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: The original movie? Yeah, fucking terrifying. This is too young,
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: this is too young. I fucked up, you know.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: I think Hassan watched Annabelle when he was young, and
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: it was creepy. It was he was traumatized. He watched
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: somebody else's house, you know, with some other kids, and
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: they were like, I guess they they understood, but Hassan
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: was it was a whole problem. Like you're talking about
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: sleeping with all the lights on the house. I want
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: all the lights on and I'm sleeping in your bed like,
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: do you.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: Ever go to that place in Vegas? It's haunted me
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: Zach Baggin's Haunted Museum. He has the Annabelle doll there.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: Wow, yeah, there it is.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: Which one is one of the right?
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 6: Oh?
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: Hell no, that's the real one. It is the one
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: on the left, the movie one. Oh really interesting.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: Wow. So that Annabelle is both on creepy as hell
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: to me, but well.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: There's something it's something extra creepy about the one with
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: eyes like a person, the left one.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: That's insane.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: You believe in ghosts?
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: Really? Have you had experience?
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: No? Oh no, no, no, no, no I have. Let me
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: go back, let me let me say that I do
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: believe in ghosts. So my old house, will my mom
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: says that, now, it's a girl that lives there. You know,
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know what happened in this house, but it's
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: definitely a girl that lives in the house. But she
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: would only come from like the hallway, bathroom to the kitchen.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: And I remember doing the Pandemica ghost. Yeah, that's that's
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: a girl. Okay, she's definitely a girl. And I remember
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: being during the pandemic. I was in the den and
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: I was working on I was working on something and
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: literally I just turned to set, so you up, huh?
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: And because I can feel her, I was like yo,
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: because but and I had to go back through my family.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: A lot of people in my family have experiences with
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: past relatives that passed on. My uncle said he saw
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: his dad was my grandfather in his shoes, and my
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: mom said she saw my grandfather before. And that lived
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: in that died in the house that they had in Mississippi.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I believe in ghosts. I believe in unsettled spirits.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: He definitely had a girl that lived in a house.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: My grandmother, the one I was telling you about before,
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: she was very interesting and she really strongly believed in ghosts.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: And there was a guy that stayed with them for
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: a while. They had like an upstairs area that they
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: weren't using once the kids left, and so they rented
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: out like it was like an attic space that they
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: had converted or so, I forget exactly what it was. Anyway,
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: they rented out a room to this guy where wherever
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: the circumstances were, and he died, and my grandmother swore
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: that that dude stayed in the house.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I believe it.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: I think it's possible that if something happens to you,
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: that if you're dying, it's a very traumatic experience. And
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: I have a feeling that we don't totally understand memory,
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: and we assume that memory is something that only human
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: beings have, or that only animals have, or that only
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: creatures living creatures have. I don't think that's real. I
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: have a feeling there may be a type of memory
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: from particularly traumatic experiences that stays in a space. And
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: I think this is one of the reasons why they
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: have to disclose within a certain amount of time. Someone's
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: been murdered in the house in a lot of places
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: before you buy it, because people don't want to live
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: in a house that's got that energy in it. Because
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: I think I think things keep energy. I think they do.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: They I think there's something more to memory than just
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: as simple as oh, remember when we were five. I
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: think there's something else there. I think I think that's
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: our memory, but I think there's a type of memory
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: in things. That's what I think.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: I believe in the unseen world, so I believe in gens,
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: you know, I believe in angels. You know what I'm saying.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: So it's an unseen world that's not, you know, our thing,
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: but it was things that was things here before us, you.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: Know, So I think there's things here with us.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely with it.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: And people who don't think that haven't smoked d MT,
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: but I definitely get get hold of some DMD and
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, I don't know shit. There's things around
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: me all the time. There's things that are influencing you
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: all the time. And this is like when we talk
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: about like good energy and bad energy. One of the
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: things you experienced in psychedelic states is a clear recognition
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: of like good things that you've done and bad things
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: you've done. Good, the good way of thinking, the good
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: way you think about things a positive way, and bad
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: Like I remember having negative thoughts in an experience once
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: and it was all these like dark fractals, and then
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: I realized it was trying to show me that these
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: dark fractals, these crazy geometrics, like scary patterns that I
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: was saying, was because of my own thoughts. And then
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: I released them and it turned into beautiful geometric patterns
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: over and over, and it kept saying like look at
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: this and look at this, and I was like, oh,
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: it's actually, the way you think changes the world around you.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: It has an effect. It might not have the ultimate effect,
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: it might not be one hundred percent of what happens
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: to you and in your life, but it has a
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: meaningful effect. We just can't measure it. And there's things
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: that are out there, whatever they are, they have some
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: kind of consciousness that are around us all the time.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: We just don't have the senses to take them in.
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: Just like when you wave your hand over an earthworm
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: and there's no fucking idea you're doing that. We don't
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: have the senses to understand that there's things around us.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: And people have been writing about these things for so
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: long to discount them all. They're all liars, they're all delusional,
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: they're all crazy.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: I think that people discount on dudes thinking that they
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: were on drugs.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: Well they probably were, but it doesn't mean they're wrong.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: It doesn't mean it doesn't mean they're wrong.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: You know, like.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: A drunk, A drunk really don't tell a lot of lies.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: That's a drunk don't tell a lot of lies. It can't.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: I'm drunk, I can't remember all that. I'm just saying
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 2: what it is. What I'm saying but when people like LSD,
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 2: you know, you loosen it, you know, or mushrooms or
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: these things, people are like, well, you only saw that
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: because you was on this. But maybe that's the portal
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: on how you see certain things.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: I think there's certain things that we block ourselves from
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: being able to see our own protective instincts. We protect
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: our thoughts. I mean, this is why people, I think
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: get paranoid when they smoke weed. One of the things
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: that weed does is it dissolves all these artificial barriers
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: that you've put between you and and the thoughts of
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: real danger. They're all there. You realize your vulnerability, you
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: realize who you are.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: So just think of how years ago how we was viewed,
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 2: how marijuana was viewed. It was taught that marijuana is
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: a gateway drug to crack, Like I didn't believe that, Like,
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 2: how does that even correlate? But it's for those who
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: are trying to find an ultimate high. Maybe you just
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: smoke weed and that's all you ever did you know,
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: and you wasn't trying to find another high. I think
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: some people try to find another high. Like now, man,
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 2: a lot of these young people are on so many
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 2: different things at the same time, like what are you
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: searching for? You know? They popping pills, doing coke, drinking lean,
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: doing everything all at the same time, Like what is
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 2: and drinking?
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 3: What?
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 2: What are you trying to escape? Or what are you
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: searching for? You know? And I just know people who
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 2: just smoke weed and still smoke joints, like they don't
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 2: smoke the I know people who grow their own bud.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: They not even trusting what's going on now now they
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: finding fittanyl and all this marijuana, you know, and.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: Depesticides, horrible pesticides, because what people don't know is that
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: a giant percentage of all the drugs or marijuana rather
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: that people are buying in places where it's illegal. They're
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: growing them in national forests in California, and the cartel's
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: doing it, and the cartel uses a bunch of pesticides
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: and herbicides that are illegal, like real toxic shit, and
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: they find them doing it all the time. They find
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: these grow ops in the forest all the time because
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: it's a misdemeanor. So because marijuana is legal in the
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: state of California, growing it is just a misdemeanor. So
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: you could have a full scale growop in you know,
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: public land out in the forest, and these guys find
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: them there all the time. A friend of mine found
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: one in a ranch that he works at. He followed
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: these PVC pipes and he realized that some guy was
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: diverting water into this little area that was on a
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: Tahone ranch, which is a big ranch outside of Bakersfield.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: But this dude that was on my podcast for his
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: name is John Norris. He wrote a book about it.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: He was a game warden and turned into a tactical unit.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: They had to get like dogs like Belgian moulois and
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: shit with bullet prin vests. And they're going in there
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: having shootouts with the cartel because the cartel had set
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: up these marijuana grow ops in the woods and it
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: was his job to police that area. So like, okay,
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: I guess that's what we're doing now. And then they
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: it's a crazy story, man.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 2: Its sound of like moonshine. That's why you shine exactly,
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 2: And this thing moonshine. Moonshining developed into NASCAR exactly.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: Exactly. They had to outrun the cops. Yeah, that's what
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: NASCAR came about from. It's fun, it's I mean loosted. Also,
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: it's al Capone. You know, it's all the mob. They
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: were all running alcohol and there's a lot of people
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: that were connected to them. You know, some people believe
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: that JFK's dad was involved in alcohol, but that's disputed.
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: But the point is, like a lot of people were
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: making money selling alcohol and they were all criminals, all
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: of them. And so what are you doing. Are you
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: stopping people from getting marijuana? Nope, what you're doing is
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: you are empowering a criminal empire, giving them an immense
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: amount of money, and they're probably gonna have to kill
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: a few people because people getting the way. They're probably
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: gonna have to rob a few people because people are competition.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: There's a little bit of a problem over here. We've
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: got another guy growing.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: When we live in we live in a society where
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 2: the bad guy is definitely romanticized. So how do you
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 2: stop people from wanting to be the bad guy when
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 2: it's so romanticized and and everything.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: You know, it's romanticized to the point where John Wick
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: is a good guy. Yeah, John Wick is a contract
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: killer for the Russian mob. He kills who knows how
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: many fucking people, and he's the good guy.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 2: But but you got a problem with the iceman right.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: A terrible person, you know, poison John Wick at least
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: put sucksy in that suit.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 2: But you cannot wait for John Wick sixth to come
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 2: out and.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: Wait, I love those well there john Wick movie, though,
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: like he had a reason. They killed his dog and
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: they stole his car. They fucked up, they fucked up,
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: they stole the wrong guy's car, and they killed the
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: wrong guy's puppy. And so you're rooting for him, You're
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: rooting for him to kill all these bad Russian guys,
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: but you don't realize, like that guy's been a contract
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: killer for the Russian mob for who knows how how
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: many dads is he's assassinated, how many fucking people that
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: have families that will never come home to them because
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: of John Wick?
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 2: And yep, and sometimes a lot of times, you know,
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 2: people don't care. Do you know it's weird.
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: Well, we're weird. We're a weird animal. We're a weird
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: animal and a constant flux of thoughts and you know,
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out what's the right way to think
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: and the wrong way to think. And people joined religions
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: for it, they'll join cults for it, they'll join political
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: movements for it. They just want to find a way
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: to think that makes them feel better than the way
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: they think.
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 2: Right now, you know, with with the need to feel
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 2: better outside of yourself you know, or you're family you know,
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 2: or being you know great to society, I think that's
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 2: detrimental to this society. Well, I just need I personally
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 2: need to feel better, but I don't want the community
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 2: around me to feel better. And in my mind, if
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 2: everybody around you in the community feels better, I think
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 2: it makes for a more harmonious, you know, environment than
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 2: me just being the only one.
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: That's because you're a wise person. The problem is there's
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: a lot of people that aren't wise and there's no
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: one wise around them. And that's that's the real issue,
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: is that there's an extreme lack of like a good
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: direction book of how to lead a solid life. You're
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: not taught at school. School. You're taught to sit down
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: and learn some shit that you don't give a fuck
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: about learning, memorize this, do good on the test. You
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: got to get a job. What's a job? Well, you
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: gotta sit there and do some shit you don't want
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: to do to get some money. And with the rest
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: of your time. You can do whatever you want as
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: long as you keep showing up every morning at the
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: same spot. Okay, and then that sucks, And so what
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: do you want to do? I want to escape this suck?
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: So what do I need? Cold syrup? Okay, give me
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: some of that? What do I need weed? Give me
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: some of that? Adderall oh, aderall makes me like the job. Okay,
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: I'll take this shit every day. Now, I don't give
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: a fuck. Now I'm trying to get ahead. Next thing,
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm moving up the corporate ladder. I'm not
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: a fucking animal, bro, because I'm on adderall. You're basically
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: on meth. You're on a well designed slow drip amphetamine,
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: and you're out there fucking sleeping four hours a day,
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: getting hit done, you know, driving a Jaguar. And this
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: is the problem of society, he said, Like people don't
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: have a real There's a lot of people out there
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 1: that don't really have a purpose. They don't have a
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: real feeling of purpose in that life. You are very
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: fortunate because you found a thing that you're really good at,
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: you love to do, and you make a great living
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: doing it. A lot of people don't have a thing
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: and they don't never they never never were taught to
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: pursue a thing, or they never saw anybody else do it,
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: and they realize they could do it too, and then
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: next thing you know, they're married and they have kids,
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: and they're in their thirties and then they're in their
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: forties and they feel like shit.
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 2: I ask you a question. You have a team, correct,
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 2: team of people, team of people that sure, Okay, what
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 2: do you think your team is happy doing whatever they
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 2: do for the team.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: If I didn't think that, they wouldn't be working.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 2: Okay. So you don't want to be the only one
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 2: happy on the team.
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: That's terrible. So, and you don't want to also have
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: someone on the team that is one of those people
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: that just never happy. That's a problem too. Yeah, that's

• 1:31:02
  Speaker 2: was it was my call at the end, but it
• 1:31:05

  Speaker 2: called me, was like, no, we're I've listened to it.
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 2: I watched it so many times. I think that we
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 2: should go with this name. And he he gave me
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 2: the name and I sat on it for a day
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 2: and then I called him back and I'm like, yeah,
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 2: you about right, people, and I think that people should
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 2: put like right now, I'm on the custom Fit tour.
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 2: Well I'm off into August because I'm gonna take six
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 2: weeks of vacation. But custom Fit is not going to
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 2: be a special. It's just the tour that I'm doing
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 2: now because the specials that I'm writing are different than
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 2: what I just wanted to take this time to just
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 2: do some material. I didn't want to be working on
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 2: a special. But the theme is about people think custom
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 2: Fit is about close It's not about clothes. It's about
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 2: tailor making. The people around you know what I'm saying
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: that can you can be a benefit to it, and
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 2: can be a benefit to you know what I'm saying,
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 2: not just having these people around, because you know, sometimes
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 2: people have a bunch of people around that secretly despise them,
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 2: you know, and secretly despise their success. And that's that's
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 2: detrimental to anything.
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: Haters. Yeah, yeah, sometimes haters will get real close to you,
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: stay stay next to you. It's a problem. I mean,
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 1: when you're in a position like you're in too, when
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 1: you're producing other people's specials, You're gonna get a bunch
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: of people to come to you that you don't want
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 1: to do their shit. It's just like owning the club.
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: The same issue. The way I bypass that I put
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 1: all the power into Adam. Adam eget decides who's there
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 1: and who's not there, and how the club gets scheduled,
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 1: and you know who passes and who doesn't. And he's
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: really good at it. You know, he's really good at it.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 1: I trust him implicitly, so I don't have to think
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 1: about it. And I like it so that when people
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: say I want to work at club, I'm like, well,
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 1: you get to talk to Adam. I just perform. I
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: might be the owner, but I just performed there. I
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: don't I don't think about it in terms of like
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: how the scheduling is. I often have to check the
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: website to see who's there. I don't know who's there,
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: you know, it's uh, it might be mine. But I
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: got a guy who does it, and he does it
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: really well. So why would I get involved in that.
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 1: It's easier to not.
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 2: When I had when I had a club in Houston,
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 2: I couldn't be funny in the club at all. Why
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 2: not because I was actively working the club. So I'm
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 2: on stage and I'm worried about oh, I said so
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 2: many other things you know going on, Like YO, did
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 2: you just drop a glass on the ground, Like I'm
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 2: I didn't have enough help, so you.
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: Got to get the right help. I got very fortunate
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: in that a lot of the people that I took
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 1: to Austin, they were from the comedy store and they
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 1: were at work. So the comedy store closed because the
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: fucking stupid government of LA they wouldn't even allow them
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 1: to do outside shows. Wouldn't You couldn't do an outside
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: show in the parking lot of the comedy store. They
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 1: wouldn't allow it. It's so stupid. They were closed for
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 1: like a good solid year and a half. They couldn't
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: support paying all these people, so they had to get
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: rid of them. And I moved here, and it's the
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 1: same time. It just by chance it happened at the
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: same time, and so they were all out of work,
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: and I said, hey, let's get the band back together again.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: Let's let's do you guy. You guys want to move
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 1: to Austin. So I paid for everybody to come out here,
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 1: and I paid for them. I gave them a full
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 1: salary with everything for like a year and a half
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 1: or so, maybe even more, maybe two years before anybody
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 1: had to go to work because the club wasn't open.
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: So I was like, I want to give you a job,
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: like so you could settle in, get used to Austin.
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: You're gonna get paid, like you get paid like you're working,
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 1: but you don't have to work. But I love you,
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: I know you, and you know come here.
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 2: Very admirable. With the store. I just performed at the
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 2: store main room for te. They had a thing before
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 2: BT Wolfson I popped in. And the comedy store has
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 2: a certain politics to it that you know. I like
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 2: the other one a little more, even though all they.
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: Service pop prop No.
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 2: The other comedy store, oh La Joyah, which is that
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 2: place is the ship. They just don't have food. You
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 2: don't popcorn drinks.
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: I don't believe in food and comedy clubs either.
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah so, but.
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: It's just a different environment. Lahoya is like very nice,
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: beautiful place. That club is awesome.
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 2: I love performing there. And with the store in La
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 2: it's like you get that and it's very it seems
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 2: very you know, segregated.
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 1: This is now to me, that's when I how long
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: ago was this?
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 2: I just performed last week last Wednesday.
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 1: That's that's sad here because it wasn't like that before.
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 2: It seemed like the main room in the room around
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 2: the corner, and all these rooms are different spaces, and
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 2: that's to me, and I may just it may just
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 2: be that feel because I'm not there a lot, you know,
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 2: but when I come, when before I came that time,
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 2: but the management walked up was very pleasant.
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 1: What do you mean by different spaces? But obviously the
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 1: different rooms, what.
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 2: Do I mean?
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 1: What you mean?
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 2: It seemed like the main room is different from the
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 2: room around the corner.
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: Well, it is different, But what do you mean by
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: it feels different?
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 2: It feels a little different.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean just by its design. It's a big showroom.
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: It's it's brighter, the ceilings are taller, and then you
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: get into the original room, which is just tight and perfect.
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: The original room is like that's where you find out
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: what's real. You know, I've seen a lot of people
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: have rough sets. They were real, real confident going into
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: that room. That room is a truth serum.
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 2: I like a tight room.
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: Well then then then there's the belly room. The belly
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: room is the ultimate truth serum. Trying out new jokes
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 1: in the belly room is the place because you know,
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: only seat seventy people can't you can't bullshit those people.
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 2: That's the that's the the krim Dela crime is a
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 2: tight small bell rooms. That's what I came such a
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 2: good room. I came from small audiences.
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: They're the best. It's the best for finding out if
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: jokes are real. There's nothing like a small crowd. Look
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: in our club. We have the Little Boy, the little
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: we have Our rooms are named after the bombs they
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 1: dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and uh Little Boy is
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: only one hundred and ten seats. It's a super low ceiling.
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 2: This is when you know it's It's those times in
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 2: comedy when you knew that that's what you actually loved
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 2: to do. And I remember I was in San Antonio
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 2: at this this place called Santa's. He he literally owned
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 2: the whole strip, the club, the washing teia, the corner store, everything,
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 2: a guy named Santa. I didn't know that he owned it.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 2: But it was like a rainstorm or something that got
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 2: the show got rained out and it is literally three
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 2: people in this room. It's two ladies in his Santa
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 2: and I don't I don't know that this is him
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 2: at the time, and we had to go on to
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 2: get paid. The promoter was like I'm not paying nobody
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 2: who don't go on, We're still doing the show. I'm like, okay,
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 2: so this is one hundred dollars. He's getting paid one
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 2: hundred dollars and he was like, who going up. I'm like,
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 2: I'm definitely going up, and I'm going up first, like
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 2: I don't, I don't care. I did like an hour
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 2: and thirty minutes for three people, and I was like,
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 2: because I kept looking at like anybody else going over
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 2: there was like, nah, were good, and I'm like I
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 2: and Santa. I remember he finally revealed that he was
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 2: the owner of the club and he was like, well,
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 2: let me take you to Bay. He took me to
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 2: the back and he gave me like seven hundred dollars.
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying for performing? He say, yeah, man,
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 2: you wasn't scared that me and my friends had a
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 2: good time and it was like three people. It was
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 2: literally the dude ame advance put the show on. It
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 2: was like three advances. Tell anybody was like, this is
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 2: when I knew Ali was different. When he went out
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 2: three people. He went first and he's like an hour
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 2: and thirty and he was like and it didn't look
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 2: like he was coming down. I'm like, yo, bro, I'm
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm here. This is what I do. I don't
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 2: and I need that hundred dollars. So that's definitely some
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 2: extra motivator that.
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 1: No one else wanted to go up.
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 2: They was like no. And another time I was at Wiley.
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 2: It was a Wili college and Marcus was performing and
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 2: the mic went out and it's like, all these people
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 2: in this in this out of the same place they
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 2: shot Denzel shot the movie The Great Debate. So we
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 2: we in this autoram and the sound goes out and
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 2: they started ribbing Marcus and I and I was in
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 2: the back and I was like, what's going on? And
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 2: it's like this sound went out and I walked out.
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 2: I was like, what's happening? And I said, hold on, Marcus,
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 2: let me let me, let me ask him some Wait
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 2: a minute. I know, damn well, y'all not in there
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 2: trying to get somebody a problem because y'all got us in.
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 2: We didn't bring this sound system, got us in fair
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 2: east Side High for broken clock and and so I
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 2: say listen, market sat down in the back and I
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 2: was like, Yo, this is what we're gonna do. I'm
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 2: gonna talk. Y'all gonna laugh, then I'm gonna talk some more.
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 2: But y'all can't be laughing all along because we don't
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 2: have no sounds. I'm not supposed to use my real
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 2: voice in this. So I'm at like forty five and
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 2: then I look back at Mark. I say, hey, man,
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 2: you won't come make up. Mark was like no, like
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 2: you got it. I got like an hour and twenty.
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 2: He was like, yo, at least nuts. I'm like, no,
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 2: this is what I do, and I'm gonna figure it out.
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 1: We did a show with the improv once in Hollywood
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 1: and the power went out and they were gonna cancel
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 1: the show. And we were sitting there talking and I said,
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 1: why don't can we light the stage somehow? And they said, yeah,
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: we can get an emergency light attached to like a
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 1: generator and we could put a you know, put the
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 1: run the wires through the crowd and put an emergency
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 1: light on the stage. I go, that's that. We'll do that,
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 1: and then we'll just do stand up with no mic.
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 1: And we did the whole show with no mic. It
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 1: was the opening, middle, and then me I did a
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 1: full hour. It was amazing. Everybody had a great fucking time.
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 1: It felt special, It felt very unusual. You get to
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 1: see what it's like like when you don't have a
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 1: microphone and you're projecting to the back of the room.
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 1: Changed my pacing on things. But it was great. It
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 1: felt cool. It felt like you were doing something and
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 1: the audience was into it. I go, look, we're gonna
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 1: have fun, right like, fuck it, who cares? This is
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 1: gonna be This is never gonna happen again, probably ever.
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 1: I've never I've been doing comedy thirty something years, I've
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 1: never had that happen where I did a show with
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 1: no microphone except that one.
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 2: So this is the thing. These are the experiences that
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 2: as a comic going through the trenches that some comics
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 2: that never have, right because they didn't come up that way,
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 2: and you have a different set of chops and when
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 2: you come up a certain type of way, I've come
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 2: up up and just joking, had to be the craziest
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 2: place because some nights you're coming in it's like nine people,
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 2: but these nine people are into comedy, and Alice will
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 2: be like, you gotta do the show, like it's not
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 2: a we don't have a limit. We gotta do these
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 2: people that's here, because what the thing is that whole
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 2: idea that the show must go on regardless, regardless too well.
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 1: I learned that from Paul Mooney too, And one of
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 1: the things that I said, I did a show at
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 1: the Common Store. It's like the first time that Mooney
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: ever complimented me, and that I was always scared of him,
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 1: since like Moody didn't like he was terrifying. He was
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 1: a legend. He was a legend, wrote for Richard Pryor,
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 1: and it was like the way he carried himself and
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 1: he didn't like you like. And I was twenty seven,
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 1: you know, I was young and stupid, and I went
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 1: up because I would always go up last or late.
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 1: I had late spots. And there was like fifteen people
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 1: in the room in my act and I heard in
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 1: the back room, oh oh, he was laughing, having fun,
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: and then he grabbed me. Afterwards, he goes, you're a
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 1: real motherfucking comic. He goes, that's what a real comic does.
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 2: He goes.
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 1: All these other motherfuckers they went up there and they did, oh,
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 1: where are you from, bitch? I know where I'm from.
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 1: Tell me some fucking jokes. Do your fucking act and
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 1: that's what you did. And I was like, wow, Paul
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 1: Mooney likes me.
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 2: Who me and Paul had a different type of relationship?
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 1: Did you and Paul not get along.
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 2: One? I have to always say I love I love
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 2: Paul until I met him. It's like Paul was on
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 2: some bullshit when he When I met Paul Man, I
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 2: was at the Improv and I was featuring for him,
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 2: and the improvt got me the feature for him, and
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 2: I was like, cool, I'm excited I get to meet
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 2: one of my idols in this game, one of the
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 2: people who changed the course of my pacing because it
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 2: my my lineage. Just sitting down, I passed through Paul.
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 2: So it's when I first started. I was a crazy man.
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 2: I was all over the place, thought that you had
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 2: to have this all this energy. And then this guy
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 2: named Dad's White walked into the club one night I
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 2: was there and Dead stood in the same exact place
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 2: that he never took the mic out the stand, put
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 2: his drink down on the stool, and Dad just stood

• 1:47:10
  Speaker 2: was talking about Raymon, and I was like, yo, Paul,
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 2: I don't count the room. I'm the feature. Why would

  Speaker 2: same weekend, he had this lady with him and she
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 2: was sitting at the top and I was sitting up there,
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 2: and she got up and she left her purse. So
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 2: I didn't want to leave and leave the ladies person there,
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 2: so I grabbed the traveling I got the purse like this.

• 1:48:08
  Speaker 2: Paul turned on what are you doing with her purse?
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 2: I said, she left it? And then the only thing
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 2: in my head is DL you cannot beat up Paul
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 2: on it. So I just walked down. I'm like, I'm
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 2: gonna fuck Paul up.
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 1: What year was this?
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 2: This is like three years before he died, and this
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 2: was the this is this is the old end.
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 1: Prov this is what i'd heard. Just for clarity, he
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 1: was struggling in the last years of his life, so
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 1: you probably didn't get the best version of Paul Mooney.
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 2: So then we were here in Austin. We're performing at
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 2: the theater that's right next to the Paramount. It's just
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 2: another theater that's connected to the Paramount, the Black Heritage,
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 2: the Black Art something and booked both of us, not
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 2: knowing that we had odds. So I mean my green
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 2: room and the lady comes in, Hey, she's very nice.
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 2: Hey a LEI Paul when he's next door? If I'm saying,
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 2: and you like to meet him? Saying? And I was like, no,

• 1:49:13
  Speaker 2: next door. You know, I don't know if y'all want
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 2: to meet each other. And Paul was like, no, I'm cool.
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 2: And I went up. I'm in my green room and
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 2: the host is on stage, and Paul was getting ready
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 2: to go up, and this was his apology. He walked
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 2: by the room and came back like on purple Rain,
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 2: came back and leading in the room to Hi Yalli
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 2: And then I mean, Paul fucking nuts man, and yeah, but.
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 1: He that's you gotta take that. You know, there's certain
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 1: people are just eccentric. That's Paul. I mean, I wouldn't
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 1: have counted the fucking room either. I would have been like,
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 1: that's not my job.
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 2: But Ron White, I was in Orlando. Manager Orlando called

  Speaker 2: So I called Marcus. I'm like, yo, Marcus, you're gonna
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 2: go up and then you're gonna bring up Ron White.
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 1: When was this?
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 2: This was like maybe four years ago.
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 1: That's crazy.
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 2: And Ron shows up and this huge tour bus. Like
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 2: I'm walking to the cub and I'm like, who busses this?
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh, ship is Ron's? But got the
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 2: key la Bran on it, and and he's in his bus.
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 2: He's not even in the green room. Then he then
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 2: I get knock on the door and it's his manager.
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 2: He's like, hey, Ron would like to know can he
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 2: come into green room? I was like, White, come into
• 1:51:16

• 1:51:19
  Speaker 2: I just want to I love what you do. I
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 2: just want to do some time. And Ron went up
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 2: there and was destroying this room. And I couldn't wait
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 2: to get up because I wanted to just talk about
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 2: fucking Ron White. Just beat it for me, and I
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 2: destroyed his room and wrong he sat out and watched
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 2: he was like, you're fucking amazing, Like and my mind
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 2: is I'm still in awe that Ron White wanted to
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 2: fucking I wanted to work with. I was like that
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 2: ship was crazy.
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 1: That's so cool. Well, you know, when he's working on
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 1: new stuff, that's what he likes to do. He likes
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 1: to go around and does a lot of sets. He's
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 1: constantly active. He's up the tonight, we're working tonight. He's
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 1: one of the main reasons I moved here. Ron moved
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 1: here before the pandemic. So I called him up in
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 1: like twenty eighteen. I'd loved having him at the store,
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 1: so he started coming to the store around twy, like
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 1: fourteen ish something like that, and oh my god. We
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 1: had so much fun for years and years, and he
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 1: had a beautiful place up in Beverly Hills. And then
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 1: he just got sick because he's always traveling. He just
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 1: got sick of the long flights and the traffic. And
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 1: I called him up, I go, why'd you move to Texas?
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 1: He goes, Austin's amazing. The food's fucking great, everyone's nice.
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 1: It's in the middle of the country. If I want
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 1: to fly to Florida, it's quick if I want to
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 1: fly to I'm like, God, damn it, can I live
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 1: in Texas? And then the shit hit the fan with
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 1: COVID and I was like, I get the fuck out
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 1: of California. This place sucks. They're telling me what to do.
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 1: This is not what I signed up for. You tell
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 1: me I can work, You tell me I have to
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 1: wear a mask. Fuck you. I'm getting out of here.
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 1: And when I came to Austin, it was like one
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 1: of the main reasons why I was willing to move here.
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 1: I'm like, if we never do comedy again, at least
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 1: I can hang out with Ron.
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 2: That's amazing.
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 1: And then everybody else came. And then once I mean
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 1: everybody says that I got everybody to move here, sorta.
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 1: I got a lot of people to move here, but
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 1: Ron got me to move here. That's the most important thing.
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 1: Like Ron got me to move here. And then I
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 1: realized how nice people are here and how disconnected they
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 1: are from show business, and I was like, Oh, this
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 1: is so refreshing. Everyone's just normal. My neighbor's a normal guy.
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 1: Everyone's normal. They're regular people, just people living their lives,
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 1: having a good time.
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 1: It's like and for me, you know, because I love hunting.
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 1: Everyone hunts out here. Yeah, it's it's it's like a
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 1: normal pastime. I tell people, I bow hunt in California.
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 2: Like Texas is Texas. We have been a gym for
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 2: a long time, and we just let we let other
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 2: people feel like they are up echelon.
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 1: We're like, okay, Texas ruled forever. I mean, you gotta
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 1: think Kennison and Hicks, two of the greatest of all time,
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 1: came out of Houston. Yeah, and when I was coming
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 1: here all the time, I knew it right. So one
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 1: of the things that was good about doing comedy is
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 1: a lot of people that moved during the pandemic just
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 1: wanted to get out of California. But they had no
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 1: idea what the rest of the world was going to be.
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 1: Like they've never been to Nashville, They've never never been
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 1: to Austin. I'd been here a couple dozen times. I
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 1: knew I loved it, So I was like, look, this
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 1: will be all right, Like I'll be fine, Like it
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 1: looks like I'm never doing comedy again. I was like,
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 1: it looks like comedy's done. It looks like they're gonna
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 1: fucking make us just stay indoors, especially in like blue cities,
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 1: Like this is crazy. You have to have a VAX
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 1: card to eat at a restaurant in New York City.
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 1: Like this is fucking bananas. None of this ship makes
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 1: any sense.
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 2: I remember you guys came, Mothership was coming. The next thing,
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 2: I know, Creaking the Cave was here.
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 1: Creaking the Cave was here. First.
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm saying, how I heard about it. I'm like, oh, yeah,
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 2: like creaking a cave. I'm like, damn, okay, creaking the cave,
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 2: it's coming from New York. And then Mothership is here.
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 2: And then but they had rooms, you know. The main
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 2: thing was what was the room that that was so
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 2: hard to get in there? First it was an Austin
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 2: comedy club. Damn, I forget the name of it.
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 1: Velvet the room.
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 2: No, no, it was the actual comedy club, cap City,
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 2: Cap City, Yes, cap City.
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 1: That place was always packed. Yeah you know I almost
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 1: bought that place.
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah I heard that.
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I almost bought that whole mall. But the guy
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 1: was trying to sell it to me wanted way more
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 1: than it was worth. And then he got roped up
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 1: in some FBI investigation. I was told while it was
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 1: going on and he was being investigated, and I was like, oh, okay,
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 1: and then you wound up getting arrested. But that building
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 1: was for sale, the whole thing was for sale. And
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 1: I went in there. I thought about how many shows
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 1: I'd been there, how many shows I'd seen there, how
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 1: many shows I had performed there over the I'm like,
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 1: I could own this place. Oh my god.
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 2: Cap City was the first place that I did on
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 2: the road with DL.
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 1: That was a great club, you know, fucking great club.
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 1: Perfect club was amazing, such a fun place to work.
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 2: I think that people don't didn't realize how the rich
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 2: history of Houston, Dallas, Austin Lap Stop, San Antonio.
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 1: Bro Lapstop in Houston, river Oaks one of the greatest
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 1: clubs of all time. Somebody told me that that building
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 1: still exists like that, that it's still set up like that.
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 1: There's nothing in it. Is that true?
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 2: Nothing in it though, But it's still the same room.
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 1: Man. We might have to do a mothership Houston.
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's yeah.
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 1: We see. If there's another city that could support like
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 1: a large group of talented up and comers, Houston's one
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 1: of them.
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 2: So, you know, we have secret group there we have.
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 1: They had the other cap City that was upstairs. Remember
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 1: they opened up the second one. They closed that one.
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 2: And the lab I'm sorry, lapstop. That was the last spot.
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, they have that already already exist.
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 2: So the last spot had went upstairs on WALLA had.
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 1: Thought that was the laugh stop. I thought it was
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 1: the same group that. No, it was the same group
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 1: that owned the laugh stop in river Oaks. The last
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 1: Spot was another place. I knew that because when I
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 1: was working at the laugh stop, Ralphie May was working
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 1: at the Last Spot and we got together and we're
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 1: hanging out and eat dinner. But that was that was
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 1: That was the old spot. Then there was the other
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 1: laugh stop that they put upstairs. It was a new
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 1: but it didn't last. It was only for a couple
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 1: of years.
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't go to. I didn't go to.
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 1: It was a good spot and then it went under. Yeah.
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 1: Ari Shafir did it with a Hitler mustache. Once he
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 1: trimmed his mustache to look like Hitler.
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 2: All right, Ari is Aris is by far the craziest
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 2: person that I know. Like I thought my uncle Mag

  Speaker 2: I just made it about that and he just tore
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 2: the check up. They write you another one. I'm like,
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 2: are you insane? Like he's the greatest person. But I've
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 2: had some great conversations on the phone with him and
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 2: he's just and I.
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 1: Was very fucking smart, dude.
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 2: I was very smart when he called me to do
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 2: the his last the Endless, you know, I was like,
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 2: that's cool to say, because that that's where that's a
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 2: pivoting point, a major point in my career when I
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 2: did this is not happening.
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that was a great show man. It was
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 1: a great idea. I remember when he started doing it.
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 1: You started doing it at the lab at the improv
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 1: So you remember the lab. Yeah, another little room, cool,
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 1: cool little room. They should have never got rid of
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 1: that room. They changed that place and they fucked it up.
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 1: In my opinion, that's the room. The main room is
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 1: still awesome, but the lab used to be in the
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 1: back and it was like there wasn't a big bar there.
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 2: I think it's still there. It's different now, yeah, the
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 2: last time I did on Cole Yeah, but it's different.
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 1: It's not it's not the same setup it used to be.
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 1: You went through a door and it was like another
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 1: small room and in that small room it was separated
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 1: from the front door. They moved the front door, and
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 1: now everybody went in through the parking lot, right, and
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 1: so they went into the lab through the parking lot.
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 1: So the front door was back there that now, and
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 1: when you would open it, it was all this noise
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 1: from the street, and they had a curtain to block
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 1: off the noise, and you'd hear people. They were like
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 1: right next to your stage where they're buying tickets. It
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 1: was annoying. And then there was the bar, which is
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 1: right there. It's still a cool, little small room once
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 1: everybody settles in, but the original setup was way better.
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 1: And Ari started doing it there and I was like,
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 1: what are you doing And he's like, I'm gonna do
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 1: a storyteller show. I was like, well, fuck, was that?
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 1: That's what I thought? I was like, why are you
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 1: doing that? And then he said, well, it really helps
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 1: you without like having to have like punchlines and setups
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 1: and have everything really tight. You could find the beats
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 1: in the store. And it was like, oh, well, actually
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 1: that's brilliant. That's pretty fucking smart. It's a good alternative
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 1: sort of way to develop bits. You know, you develop
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 1: bits by working it out, but into a more loose
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 1: format of telling a story.
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 2: And I didn't even know that that was the premise
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 2: behind it, because when I got it, it was like,
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 2: you go on here, you tell a true story. And
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 2: I was like, okay, cool, that's my that's my thing, right,
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 2: you know. And I had just won Comedy Central's Comic
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 2: to Watch in like twenty thirteen, So you get a package,
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 2: you get an album, you get a half hour, and
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 2: you get a chance to go on one of the
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 2: shows that's already on Comedy Central. So they was pitching
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 2: me at the Adam Divine Show and I was like,
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 2: mm I don't like it. And it was another show.
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 2: I was like, nah, I'm cool. So every show that
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 2: they would say that they wanted me to go, I
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 2: was like, nah, this really ain't my thing. So then
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 2: Chase the Russo it young comic called me and said, hey, listen,
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 2: you might wanna go on this is not happening. I
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 2: was like, what's that? He says, It is a show
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 2: start on the internet, you know you. I went on it.
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 2: I I watched both, I think both seasons of it
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 2: on the internet and I was like, yo, this is
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 2: the this is the one. So I called Anne Harris
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 2: that w that come. I say, this is the show
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 2: that I wanna do, and I already know me. You know,
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 2: already was like, I don't know im. But Eric Abrams
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 2: is one of the co creators of the show. He
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 2: was like, I know him, so he he's pretty good.
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 2: You should bring him on, and I Ari would already
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 2: tell anybody. He's like, I didn't know what he was
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 2: gonna do, but all I know it was a truth.
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 2: All you had to do was tell our true story.
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 2: And I was like perfect. Eric thought that I was
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 2: gonna do the story that I did on the second
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 2: time that I was on, but I and I was
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 2: like when I got there, I was listening to people's
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 2: stories and I was like, nah, I'm gonna do a
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 2: lighter story because the second story is Mitchell. It's like
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 2: when I was gonna kill the CEO, and I was like, nah,
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 2: I should do a lighter one. And then I did
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 2: the prison ride, which is affectionately known this Mexican got
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 2: on boots and ours like the best fucking story I
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 2: ever heard. I'm like, me telling the story about a
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 2: riot a prison ride. You know, I'm telling her what happened.
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 2: And I only did like sixteen minutes of what happened
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 2: that was a whole that was a whole ordeal, Like,
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 2: it wasn't a sixteen minute riot. It was like nine hours.
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 2: Like the whole thing is like nin I only told
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 2: the beginning part of it, which was, you know, pretty cool, you.
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 1: Know what happened. I already lost the show.
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 2: Right yeah, yeah, and so that so when the show
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 2: came back, it is with Roy Woods. They called me
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 2: to do it, and the loyal spirit in me I
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 2: called Ari first. I was like, hey, they want me
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 2: to do this show. I'm really not fucking with it.
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 2: And he's like, no, no, do it. I was like
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 2: what He's like, I heard about all the stuff. He's like, man,
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 2: do it, Eric. Eric is still shooting it. You know
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying, So you should do it. He goes,
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 2: we wanted you to be the host, but they didn't.
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 2: They didn't want you to do it. You know, they
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 2: got Roy, which is cool.
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 1: I don't think they wanted anybody affiliated with Ari to
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 1: do it. So we're punishing Ari.
• 2:04:45
  Speaker 2: So when they tell.
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 1: People why so for people that don't know, they already
• 2:04:50
  Speaker 1: got a deal. He got an offer to do a
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 1: Netflix special and he wanted to do it, and they
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 1: wanted him to do the special on Comedy Central and
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 1: he said, well, I don't have to. He was son
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 1: in my contract. They said, well, if you don't do it,
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 1: we're going to cancel your show. And he was like, wow,
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 1: I can't believe you do that.
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 2: And that ain't what you tell Ari.
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 1: Nope, no, So we were trying to figure it out.
• 2:05:13
  Speaker 1: I offered the host it for free. I said, I
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 1: will come in and host it. I'd already done it,
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 1: so I'll come in. I'll host it for no money.
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 1: I go. Because he wanted to make sure that everybody
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 1: was paid. He was going to take out a loan
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 1: and Ari was going to pay all the grips, all
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 1: the camera people, because they you know these people, they
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 1: chared out their year. They're like, oh, I'm doing this,
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 1: is not happening for the next six weeks, and then
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 1: I'm doing this for five weeks and that's their year
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 1: and that's how they budget their life. And Ari decided
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 1: that he was going to take out a loan to
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 1: pay everybody. So and I'm like, wow, I go listen man,
• 2:05:45
  Speaker 1: it go tell Comedy Central that I'll host it for free.
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 1: They weren't interested. They weren't interested in anybody affiliated with him.
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 1: He tried to, he offered up a bunch of other comics. Yep,
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 1: they weren't interested.
• 2:05:54
  Speaker 2: So I was in that group of the bunch because
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 2: I know it was you, it was Joe, me Bird,
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 2: and they just got me to do it. Once Ari
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 2: told me it was cool, He's like, man, do it. Yeah.
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 1: I would never try to stop anybody from working.
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 2: So what I what I went on and did in
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 2: my protest of you know, you didn't want Ari. So
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 2: what I did was told the story about Ari. I
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 2: just told him like, okay, cool, It's like my story
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 2: is mushroom story, which is an Ari second and I
• 2:06:35
  Speaker 2: thought I was, you know, second season. I did this show.
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 2: Ari gave me, uh mushrooms, and I went through the
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 2: whole thing of what happened when R gave me the mushrooms.
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 2: I ate the mushrooms. I didn't know that they were
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 2: mushrooms mushrooms. I thought they was something else. And it
• 2:06:51
  Speaker 2: was like I the eighth of mushrooms and it was
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 2: a long.
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 1: Day, rude thing to not tell you to not eat
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 1: all of them.
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 2: And I remember Janis. Janis was my assistant, and I
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 2: remember I had to fly the next day, and I'm
• 2:07:10
  Speaker 2: still I'm still gone. I'm out of my shit. So
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 2: I get to the airport and I called Janice. I said, Jannis,
• 2:07:19
  Speaker 2: people are going through this machine and then I'm not
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 2: seeing him anymore, and it's like he's nuts. He's going
• 2:07:30
  Speaker 2: like and Janney said they probably going to various places,
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 2: and I was like, but I don't want to go
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 2: to various I want to go to Houston. So then
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 2: when I get up to THEA and I said, hey,

• 2:07:46
  Speaker 2: and then I'm not seeing them anymore. Where are they going?

• 2:08:21
  Speaker 2: because I was there for a couple of days, Joey

• 2:08:35
  Speaker 2: you say, if you want to lose it, don't you

  Speaker 2: This episode of I'm on Joy Diaz this back when
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 2: I was smoking, I took an edible with the blind
• 2:08:45
  Speaker 2: Jew and me and him. It's like you literally see us.
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 2: I was fine at first, and then you Joy is
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 2: the only person that's in this studio that's that's still together,
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 2: and you just slowly see us just melting. We both did.
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 2: And then I know I was speaking very good English
• 2:09:04
  Speaker 2: at one point. Then I was in It was like yeah,
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 2: Joey was like, no, I understand. I don't understand.
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 1: The church of What's happening now had some of the
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 1: greatest overdose on weed moments ever in the history of

• 2:10:19
  Speaker 1: biological condition. Yeah, I'm not afraid he doesn't, just doesn't
• 2:10:25
  Speaker 1: given not scared at all.
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 2: I've done two different types of mushrooms. I didn't know
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 2: that there were. It's like the ones where I was
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 2: really on one that's the one that gave me, and
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 2: then there's some other ones that made me very talkative,
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 2: like drool on his shirt. Another dimension.
• 2:10:55
  Speaker 1: Right now, he can't keep the headphones on, just doing
• 2:11:02
  Speaker 1: Joey's the best. They're back they're doing it again. They're
• 2:11:05
  Speaker 1: back together again. Yeah, man, they're doing it? Are they
• 2:11:08
  Speaker 1: doing it? Out of New Jersey? Is that what they're doing. Yeah,
• 2:11:12
  Speaker 1: he's the best.
• 2:11:14
  Speaker 2: I remember I call Moses Malone for Joey because he's
• 2:11:17
  Speaker 2: a big Moses Malone fan. Before Moses died, I called
• 2:11:20
  Speaker 2: it like, you know, Moses alone, no fucking way, you
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 2: know you got no fucking Mos. And then Moses was
• 2:11:28
  Speaker 2: Moses was nuts too, Like most of Malone was.
• 2:11:32
  Speaker 1: Have you heard about these new mushrooms that make you
• 2:11:34
  Speaker 1: see the little tiny people?
• 2:11:36
  Speaker 2: Oh? No, no I haven't. The talkative ones were like
• 2:11:40
  Speaker 2: I called a lot of people on my phone and
• 2:11:43
  Speaker 2: everybody's same report was you know, you call me like
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 2: three in the morning about you want to talk to
• 2:11:48
  Speaker 2: me about my life?
• 2:11:51
  Speaker 1: And which ones are those? What did you take? It's
• 2:11:54
  Speaker 1: not psilocybin, it's something different.
• 2:11:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's something different. It made me very talkative. Dlay.
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 2: I told Delay about him, comed name Delay. I told
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 2: him about Hi because I called him and I talked
• 2:12:06
  Speaker 2: to him for like hours just about so. Then he
• 2:12:11
  Speaker 2: ended up taking the same mushrooms and he called me
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 2: and I knew what it was. I was like, go ahead,
• 2:12:17
  Speaker 2: just talk. He was talking his ass off. I had
• 2:12:21
  Speaker 2: put the phone out and went to sleep. I woke
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 2: up he was still talking. I was like, Yo, this
• 2:12:26
  Speaker 2: cit is crazy. What is it? Man?
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 1: I gotta Jemmy put that into perplexity.
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 2: I got a call.
• 2:12:32
  Speaker 1: Put that into our AI sponsor and find out what
• 2:12:34
  Speaker 1: mushrooms make you talking of.
• 2:12:36
  Speaker 2: I know who gave him to me, so I called
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 2: her and asked, Hey, it was inshrooms that you gave me.
• 2:12:41
  Speaker 2: Because she went and bottomed and like I was fucking
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 2: talking his mess.
• 2:12:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know what that is. I've never heard of
• 2:12:47
  Speaker 1: that before. Most of the time when people take shrooms,
• 2:12:49
  Speaker 1: they can't talk, and it's.
• 2:12:50
  Speaker 2: Like I was, I was on one crazy because one
• 2:12:55
  Speaker 2: because the ones that already gave me.
• 2:12:58
  Speaker 3: Mushrooms in general, huh, people's response.
• 2:13:01
  Speaker 1: To it, yeah, but it seems that there's different responses
• 2:13:03
  Speaker 1: to different ones.
• 2:13:04
  Speaker 3: I know what I'm saying on the screen says what
• 2:13:06
  Speaker 3: I just said.
• 2:13:06
  Speaker 1: Huh. I don't think there's enough research for perplexity to
• 2:13:09
  Speaker 1: have an educated answer, right, How much research are they
• 2:13:12
  Speaker 1: doing out there? Talkative social on magic mushrooms, But there's
• 2:13:16
  Speaker 1: no specific mushroom reliably proven to make you talkative. All right,
• 2:13:20
  Speaker 1: Ask if there's a mushroom that makes you see little people?
• 2:13:25
  Speaker 1: I know, I know, but I want to see what
• 2:13:27
  Speaker 1: perplexity has to say about it? What does perplexity say
• 2:13:31
  Speaker 1: ask it about? Is there a mushroom that makes you
• 2:13:33
  Speaker 1: see little people? Let's see if it really is up
• 2:13:38
  Speaker 1: on its psychedelic science.
• 2:13:41
  Speaker 3: Repeat the articles.
• 2:13:42
  Speaker 1: I just I want to see what it says, though.
• 2:13:45
  Speaker 1: It's just a question to see how it handles this. Yes,
• 2:13:51
  Speaker 1: a specific edible mushroom called land moa uh assiatica has
• 2:13:59
  Speaker 1: been reported to cause very vivid hallucinations. You say, hallucinations.
• 2:14:03
  Speaker 1: Maybe they're really little people right there, of little people
• 2:14:06
  Speaker 1: when it's undercooked, a phenomenon known as Liliputian hallucinations. Some
• 2:14:11
  Speaker 1: good thing is, how do you know it's a hallucination?
• 2:14:14
  Speaker 1: Maybe you're just now can see these things that people
• 2:14:17
  Speaker 1: have been writing about for eons. How ignorant are people?
• 2:14:21
  Speaker 1: And how arrogant are we that we know everything that's
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 1: going on all around us all the time.
• 2:14:26
  Speaker 2: We don't.
• 2:14:26
  Speaker 1: People have always thought gremlins were real and gnomes were real,
• 2:14:31
  Speaker 1: and fairies.
• 2:14:32
  Speaker 3: Studying that since the sixties.
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 1: Of course they have been I'm studying it right now.
• 2:14:37
  Speaker 1: Let's study let's go study mushrooms.
• 2:14:40
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 2:14:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they've been studying it. But like the real problem
• 2:14:44
  Speaker 1: is there's got to be a bunch of I know
• 2:14:47
  Speaker 1: for sure there's other strains that are much more potent,
• 2:14:50
  Speaker 1: because I know a guy who is a mushroom guy.
• 2:14:52
  Speaker 1: He's like deep in the world of mushrooms, and he
• 2:14:55
  Speaker 1: was explaining to me though, there's one that's like ten
• 2:14:57
  Speaker 1: x stronger, and there's there's new ones that they found.
• 2:15:00
  Speaker 1: I think they found a new one, I want to say,
• 2:15:02
  Speaker 1: in China they found a new hallucinogenic mushroom. But this one,
• 2:15:06
  Speaker 1: this little Pusian one, is weird because it's not psilocybin.
• 2:15:09
  Speaker 3: So it's cooked and says something to do with it.
• 2:15:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, see them. No, it's that. I think this
• 2:15:16
  Speaker 1: might be the Chinese one because I think it's a
• 2:15:18
  Speaker 1: is it? Yeah, okay, so this is a conflated China
• 2:15:22
  Speaker 1: so they eat it. If you cook it and you
• 2:15:24
  Speaker 1: do a real good job cooking it, you don't trip.
• 2:15:27
  Speaker 1: But apparently some people have not cooked it and eaten
• 2:15:30
  Speaker 1: it and go, oh, wait a minute, what are we
• 2:15:32
  Speaker 1: cooking out of this? When you're you might be cooking
• 2:15:35
  Speaker 1: out whatever the mushroom is giving you to let you
• 2:15:37
  Speaker 1: see the spirit world or see the fairy world or
• 2:15:40
  Speaker 1: the gnome world or whatever it is with restaurants.
• 2:15:43
  Speaker 3: You can get it into restaurants.
• 2:15:44
  Speaker 1: Let's go.
• 2:15:45
  Speaker 2: I'd be like, hey, hey he undercooked my.
• 2:15:49
  Speaker 1: Just put it on some salad dressing, said that out,
• 2:15:52
  Speaker 1: Let's go.
• 2:15:53
  Speaker 2: I don't have Unfortunately, I don't have a problem with mushrooms.
• 2:15:57
  Speaker 2: I think that, and that's like, unfortunately, what do you mean?
• 2:16:00
  Speaker 2: Because you know, some people were like, you shouldn't be
• 2:16:02
  Speaker 2: on that. But I don't have a problem with mushrooms,
• 2:16:06
  Speaker 2: and especially if I'm in a in a safe environment,
• 2:16:10
  Speaker 2: but being at the lows on mushrooms that's not That's
• 2:16:16
  Speaker 2: not the best place to be.
• 2:16:18
  Speaker 1: Like also, trying to fight it. If you fight it,
• 2:16:20
  Speaker 1: you're fucked you if you if you start going and
• 2:16:23
  Speaker 1: you start no, I don't like this. Oh can it
• 2:16:27
  Speaker 1: get dark on you?
• 2:16:28
  Speaker 2: Like I've tried to wrestle with it. I've had them
• 2:16:30
  Speaker 2: in chocolate, like a little chocolate squares, and it's been
• 2:16:34
  Speaker 2: there's been a time. I don't there's been a time.
• 2:16:37
  Speaker 1: But sometimes you can get.
• 2:16:38
  Speaker 2: Right to see little people. I definitely want to be
• 2:16:42
  Speaker 2: somewhere or I don't. I just need to be somewhere safe.
• 2:16:48
  Speaker 1: Brian Simpson has a lyrics story about someone gave him
• 2:16:51
  Speaker 1: a mushroom chocolate bar, and he put it in his
• 2:16:53
  Speaker 1: freezer and forgot, forgot that it was a mushroom bar,
• 2:16:56
  Speaker 1: and then just ate the whole thing and just went
• 2:16:59
  Speaker 1: to Pluto. He's like Doctor Manhattan sitting on Mars fucking
• 2:17:07
  Speaker 1: Lotus position.
• 2:17:09
  Speaker 3: This one's kind of strange. It says, it doesn't matter
• 2:17:11
  Speaker 3: who you are or what you do, You're gonna have
• 2:17:14
  Speaker 3: the same experience as everybody else has done it.
• 2:17:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, at that point in time, when do we start
• 2:17:20
  Speaker 1: to say, maybe there's something in this substance, this compound,
• 2:17:24
  Speaker 1: this molecule that lets you interact with something that's real,
• 2:17:27
  Speaker 1: that's around you. If it's repeatable over and over and
• 2:17:29
  Speaker 1: over again, if all these people see the same thing
• 2:17:31
  Speaker 1: over and over and over again, and people have been
• 2:17:34
  Speaker 1: writing about it since the beginning of time. They've been
• 2:17:36
  Speaker 1: writing about elves and fairies and gnomes and magic people
• 2:17:40
  Speaker 1: in the woods. What do you think they were doing?
• 2:17:42
  Speaker 1: They were probably eating these fucking mushrooms.
• 2:17:44
  Speaker 2: So it's his show that I watch that I still
• 2:17:48
  Speaker 2: don't know what this show is about, but I've watched.
• 2:17:52
  Speaker 2: I'm on season number four, and I have no idea
• 2:17:56
  Speaker 2: with which shows it it's called from Ah.
• 2:17:58
  Speaker 1: I've been watching it. Love that show. I'm in the
• 2:18:01
  Speaker 1: middle of the season four right now.
• 2:18:03
  Speaker 2: And so you know he's taking mushroom.
• 2:18:05
  Speaker 1: The one guy did, yeah, well you spoiler.
• 2:18:06
  Speaker 2: Alert no, but you know, but.
• 2:18:08
  Speaker 1: You already spoiler I know. But the people that are
• 2:18:11
  Speaker 1: listening don't know. He don't.
• 2:18:12
  Speaker 2: It's still.
• 2:18:13
  Speaker 1: Don't suck this up. It's good.
• 2:18:15
  Speaker 3: And one of these new shows that's been talked about
• 2:18:20
  Speaker 3: to getting moved.
• 2:18:20
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, that's still on Paramount. Yeah it's MGM.
• 2:18:26
  Speaker 1: I think it's MGM. Yo, great show, very original. I
• 2:18:31
  Speaker 1: still People is officially on Netflix. There it is damn
• 2:18:37
  Speaker 1: Oh wait a minute, hold on, maybe it's on Netflix
• 2:18:39
  Speaker 1: as well.
• 2:18:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's all I was. That's what it came on
• 2:18:43
  Speaker 3: epics and.
• 2:18:44
  Speaker 2: Then but you watched all these good show but you
• 2:18:49
  Speaker 2: have no idea what there's no rules, it's and and
• 2:18:54
  Speaker 2: so I called my director and saying, hey, I want
• 2:18:58
  Speaker 2: to make a show that it is about whatever we're doing.
• 2:19:04
  Speaker 2: And he's like, well, give me an example. I say,
• 2:19:07
  Speaker 2: watch from Like I've watched all I cannot tell you
• 2:19:12
  Speaker 2: what this show is about.
• 2:19:15
  Speaker 1: It's like, I don't do it for people that don't
• 2:19:18
  Speaker 1: know they want to watch it. It's the people are
• 2:19:20
  Speaker 1: trapped in this town. They're all the same circumstance. There's
• 2:19:24
  Speaker 1: a down tree in the road. They can't go further,
• 2:19:27
  Speaker 1: so they they turn around and they find themselves in
• 2:19:29
  Speaker 1: a loop that keeps leading them through the over and
• 2:19:32
  Speaker 1: over and over and over again, and no one in
• 2:19:34
  Speaker 1: the town can escape. And at nighttime monsters come out
• 2:19:37
  Speaker 1: and they look like people. They look like a mailman,
• 2:19:40
  Speaker 1: they look.
• 2:19:40
  Speaker 2: Very scary ass Milkman's like that milkman is insane, that.
• 2:19:46
  Speaker 1: That old lady that knocks in the window. Terrifying, terrifying show.
• 2:19:51
  Speaker 1: It gives me anxiety. And I know it's all fake.
• 2:19:54
  Speaker 2: It's it's like it's a crazy show. Yeah, and season
• 2:20:01
  Speaker 2: four is even more bizarre, like everything that I be thinking.
• 2:20:07
  Speaker 2: I was like, yo, I think this is what it is,
• 2:20:09
  Speaker 2: and then it don't. It doesn't be that. But then
• 2:20:11
  Speaker 2: it had come and like see and but I'm like
• 2:20:15
  Speaker 2: see what? Like what what am I like? I don't
• 2:20:17
  Speaker 2: know the freak this show is going.
• 2:20:19
  Speaker 1: They don't know, no one knows where it's going. But
• 2:20:21
  Speaker 1: it's like Lost. The same people that made Lost made
• 2:20:24
  Speaker 1: that show. Word that's why it has that same sort
• 2:20:27
  Speaker 1: of feel crazy. Doesn't make nothing nothing, you can't predict
• 2:20:31
  Speaker 1: what's going to happen, makes sense and lurid entertaining.
• 2:20:35
  Speaker 2: Lloyd tickles this ship out. Lloyd is mad about it
• 2:20:38
  Speaker 2: every god like but it's so it's a crazy it's crazy,
• 2:20:44
  Speaker 2: but it's very interesting. Like I don't miss it.
• 2:20:47
  Speaker 1: I love it. Yeah, I've been binging it. So I started,
• 2:20:51
  Speaker 1: I guess me and my wife started about a month
• 2:20:55
  Speaker 1: ago or so, and we burned through the first three
• 2:20:58
  Speaker 1: seasons and now to the fourth. Yeah, it's good, and
• 2:21:03
  Speaker 1: I think the next season's coming out in twenty twenty seven,
• 2:21:05
  Speaker 1: but I don't only I think the next season is
• 2:21:07
  Speaker 1: the last season unless they decide to keep it going. Finale,
• 2:21:11
  Speaker 1: it's the finale.
• 2:21:12
  Speaker 3: So they just announced that.
• 2:21:13
  Speaker 1: It's going to be the last season and maybe maybe
• 2:21:16
  Speaker 1: when that money comes wrong. But the thing about this
• 2:21:18
  Speaker 1: kind of show is you could do whatever you want, like, yeah,
• 2:21:21
  Speaker 1: you go back in time, you could do wild shit,
• 2:21:23
  Speaker 1: like I don't want to give anything away, but there's
• 2:21:25
  Speaker 1: no rules, there's you can make anything happen.
• 2:21:29
  Speaker 2: You can make anything.
• 2:21:30
  Speaker 1: It's a very strange show, but it's very entertaining.
• 2:21:33
  Speaker 2: Oh man, it's a very entertainment show.
• 2:21:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but if you want to just sit at home
• 2:21:38
  Speaker 1: and watch shit and not do anything, ma'am, you never
• 2:21:41
  Speaker 1: picked a better time to be alive. You could waste
• 2:21:45
  Speaker 1: your whole life just staring at the screen.
• 2:21:48
  Speaker 2: And like when I ask people, because my palette for
• 2:21:52
  Speaker 2: what I take in is different than a lot of
• 2:21:55
  Speaker 2: people you, and I turn people onto a show, like
• 2:21:58
  Speaker 2: when I turned my boy on the Pinky Blinders.
• 2:22:01
  Speaker 1: I was like, Yokey Blinders is a great Like.
• 2:22:03
  Speaker 2: Yo, you gotta watch Pinky. He called me and was like, Yo,
• 2:22:06
  Speaker 2: this is crazy. And I remember my boy Dlay got
• 2:22:09
  Speaker 2: so invested in what was the first show, the Motorcycle
• 2:22:13
  Speaker 2: Show that I turned them onto.
• 2:22:17
  Speaker 1: I know what you're talking about. I never watched it.
• 2:22:20
  Speaker 1: What is that show? That Motorcycle Show that everybody liked?
• 2:22:23
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 2:22:23
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about chan Sons man.
• 2:22:26
  Speaker 2: I turned them on The Sons of Anarchy, And it's
• 2:22:28
  Speaker 2: a person on there that you kind of get invested in.
• 2:22:32
  Speaker 2: And I remember he called me and said something about him,
• 2:22:35
  Speaker 2: and I was like, yo, who, Like who what what
• 2:22:38
  Speaker 2: you say? And I'm putting on my shoes and then
• 2:22:41
  Speaker 2: I noticed, are you talking about the person on the
• 2:22:45
  Speaker 2: on Sunday. He said, yeah, that's fucked up what they did.
• 2:22:50
  Speaker 2: I was like, yo, you you are crazy man. He's like, no,
• 2:22:53
  Speaker 2: I'm so invested, and like I was like, yo, man,
• 2:22:57
  Speaker 2: you are a wild person. But you know, so sons
• 2:23:00
  Speaker 2: of anarchy, pinky blinders. Like I was big on Yellowstone
• 2:23:05
  Speaker 2: and now the two spinoffs of Yellowstone, Marshalls and the
• 2:23:10
  Speaker 2: Dutton Ranch. I can't not watch it, like is It's
• 2:23:15
  Speaker 2: It's some good shows out there, and I just can't
• 2:23:19
  Speaker 2: watch the typical stuff. I gotta watch something that has
• 2:23:22
  Speaker 2: a little more to it than what normal people will watch,
• 2:23:29
  Speaker 2: because I like to see normal people in shows, like
• 2:23:33
  Speaker 2: something I can relate to the Dutton Ranch, you know,
• 2:23:36
  Speaker 2: being Texas, this is I don't how ranching is. This
• 2:23:41
  Speaker 2: is how I always experienced how ranching goes with cows
• 2:23:46
  Speaker 2: and and how you keep your land and all these
• 2:23:49
  Speaker 2: different fights that people have over land. I'm like, shit,
• 2:23:53
  Speaker 2: is pretty interesting.
• 2:23:56
  Speaker 1: That tailor Sheridan's a friend of mine. This guy made that.
• 2:24:00
  Speaker 1: He was on here the other day talking about it.
• 2:24:03
  Speaker 1: But the other show that I love is Land Man,
• 2:24:05
  Speaker 1: same kind deal. It's all about the oil industry. You
• 2:24:09
  Speaker 1: just realized, like, oh Jesus, is this how all this works.
• 2:24:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's other things happening in life, and it's way
• 2:24:15
  Speaker 2: more notorious people than a drug dealing show. This is
• 2:24:21
  Speaker 2: man crude. Oil is a business, so.
• 2:24:24
  Speaker 1: It's such a big business. Of course you're going to
• 2:24:26
  Speaker 1: get devioush.
• 2:24:27
  Speaker 2: Going and you're gonna get shit happenings to Yeah.
• 2:24:31
  Speaker 1: The real world of oil must be nuts. It must
• 2:24:34
  Speaker 1: be nuts. I mean, that's why we're in war right now.
• 2:24:36
  Speaker 2: And you have to be ruthless, you know, with oil,
• 2:24:41
  Speaker 2: Like that's a big thing. And I don't understand fake meat,
• 2:24:44
  Speaker 2: Like why would people be giving somebody fake meat?
• 2:24:48
  Speaker 1: Because they make money selling fake meat. That's why. I mean,
• 2:24:52
  Speaker 1: that's that's what a lot of people were trying to push.
• 2:24:55
  Speaker 1: While they're saying the cows are bad, cow's the methane,
• 2:24:58
  Speaker 1: the environment. Man, it's bullshit. But all they're doing is
• 2:25:02
  Speaker 1: trying to someone is pushing this idea that we need
• 2:25:05
  Speaker 1: to stop eating meat because they're profiting off of us
• 2:25:07
  Speaker 1: not eating meat. That's what it is. That's all it is.
• 2:25:11
  Speaker 1: It's not bad for you. It's good for you. You
• 2:25:12
  Speaker 1: need it. Protein, it's super healthy, one of the best
• 2:25:15
  Speaker 1: foods in the world for you. There's just a bunch
• 2:25:17
  Speaker 1: of horseshit out there saying that we need to eat
• 2:25:19
  Speaker 1: less meat for the environment. Now, we need to figure
• 2:25:23
  Speaker 1: out how to not pollute, that's for sure. But regenerative
• 2:25:27
  Speaker 1: farms aren't polluting. You're full shit. It's not true. You know.
• 2:25:30
  Speaker 1: If you want to say we need to stop doing
• 2:25:32
  Speaker 1: factory farming, okay, maybe yeah, that's probably a good thing
• 2:25:36
  Speaker 1: to do. But you need to figure out how to
• 2:25:37
  Speaker 1: feed all these fucking people. You've developed a system that's
• 2:25:41
  Speaker 1: entirely reliant on massive amounts of animals moving through. The
• 2:25:44
  Speaker 1: amount of chickens that people eat in America every day
• 2:25:48
  Speaker 1: is crazy. It's what is the amount of chickens that
• 2:25:52
  Speaker 1: get consumed in America every day? Let's guess.
• 2:25:57
  Speaker 2: Twenty million at least least.
• 2:26:01
  Speaker 1: I want to say, fifty million, fifty million chickens a day.
• 2:26:04
  Speaker 1: How many million chickens a day get killed?
• 2:26:06
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 2:26:08
  Speaker 1: Okay, how many do we eat? How many millions of
• 2:26:11
  Speaker 1: chickens do we eat every day in America?
• 2:26:13
  Speaker 2: Because I know I can account for three in my.
• 2:26:15
  Speaker 1: House, twenty two million chickens every day. Son, that's nuts.
• 2:26:23
  Speaker 1: That is a crazy amount. That's way bigger than the
• 2:26:26
  Speaker 1: entire residents of Los Angeles. If every person was a chicken,
• 2:26:31
  Speaker 1: every we eat that amount in this country every day,
• 2:26:34
  Speaker 1: and I'm crazy.
• 2:26:35
  Speaker 2: In my home alone. If we roasting chicken and we're
• 2:26:40
  Speaker 2: going to get a roast chicken, we're gonna get three
• 2:26:42
  Speaker 2: of them because it's going to I didn't even know
• 2:26:44
  Speaker 2: that I could eat a whole chicken by myself until
• 2:26:47
  Speaker 2: I did it. It's like, yo, man, this is this
• 2:26:53
  Speaker 2: muslim um grocery store. They sell them in there. It's
• 2:26:58
  Speaker 2: already roasted, and you get two garlic sauces with each chicken.
• 2:27:02
  Speaker 2: And once you dip a piece of that chicken and
• 2:27:04
  Speaker 2: they gargic, it's not gonna survive. Like It's like, I've
• 2:27:08
  Speaker 2: bought three of them because I know if two are
• 2:27:10
  Speaker 2: going to make it home, I have to eat this
• 2:27:12
  Speaker 2: one by myself. And they put on a piece of
• 2:27:14
  Speaker 2: peit of bread. It's already roasted, and it's insane that
• 2:27:19
  Speaker 2: I would eat a whole chicken by myself.
• 2:27:21
  Speaker 1: Estimates suggests twenty four to twenty six million chickens are
• 2:27:24
  Speaker 1: killed every day in the United States for meat. So
• 2:27:28
  Speaker 1: if you don't want factory farming, you got to figure
• 2:27:32
  Speaker 1: out a solution where you can get twenty six million
• 2:27:34
  Speaker 1: chickens a day, or you convince people that need to
• 2:27:37
  Speaker 1: stop eating meat.
• 2:27:39
  Speaker 2: But if we look at like say if I'm looking
• 2:27:42
  Speaker 2: at a show on Game of Throngs or House Dragons,
• 2:27:47
  Speaker 2: when I would see them sit down to eat, it
• 2:27:50
  Speaker 2: was a lot of meat on that table. Yeah, very
• 2:27:54
  Speaker 2: variations of meat. It's a whole thing. I've never seen
• 2:27:57
  Speaker 2: the Kings sit down. It wasn't a whole entire pig
• 2:28:01
  Speaker 2: on the table. And then if you most people haven't
• 2:28:06
  Speaker 2: bought a lamb, and you think that a lamb is enough,
• 2:28:11
  Speaker 2: it depends on what you on. Who's there if you
• 2:28:15
  Speaker 2: if we if it's he it and it's after the
• 2:28:18
  Speaker 2: fast and you put a lamb on a few and
• 2:28:22
  Speaker 2: all these Muslim families come to your house, that's that's
• 2:28:24
  Speaker 2: not enough. You need another lamb. You need you need
• 2:28:27
  Speaker 2: two lambs, like whole lambs. Like it. Man, It's meat
• 2:28:32
  Speaker 2: is delicious.
• 2:28:34
  Speaker 1: It's great for you too. Don't let anybody tell you
• 2:28:35
  Speaker 1: any difference.
• 2:28:36
  Speaker 2: And they can, but I'm not really listening, like when
• 2:28:39
  Speaker 2: somebody tell when somebody tell me about a vegan situation,
• 2:28:43
  Speaker 2: I'll listen to you, but none of it is going
• 2:28:48
  Speaker 2: And it's like, you know, I say, something comes in
• 2:28:50
  Speaker 2: one end, go out the other. It's not even going
• 2:28:52
  Speaker 2: in the ear. It's like it's like I've already made
• 2:28:55
  Speaker 2: my decision. Like okay, I'll hear you, but I'm not
• 2:28:58
  Speaker 2: really listening to you. I'm eating the lamb.
• 2:29:01
  Speaker 3: Go.
• 2:29:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, life eats life. It's just the factory farming
• 2:29:06
  Speaker 1: thing is the uncomfortable part. That's the gross part. And
• 2:29:09
  Speaker 1: if you just were on a ranch, it's natural.
• 2:29:13
  Speaker 2: You want to get overtaken. Just let the animals just
• 2:29:16
  Speaker 2: do their thing and see how many see see don't
• 2:29:20
  Speaker 2: you see a I am legend taught you that, Like yo,
• 2:29:26
  Speaker 2: how many antlers ran through a play was a stampede?
• 2:29:30
  Speaker 2: Like it's a so even like with the thing that
• 2:29:33
  Speaker 2: happens in the ocean sardines, right, so it's mass, All
• 2:29:38
  Speaker 2: these mass sardines come one spot. Then the whales come first,
• 2:29:43
  Speaker 2: then the sharks come, and then then we still get sardines.
• 2:29:49
  Speaker 2: After all these this ecosystem is eating, we still get sardines.
• 2:29:53
  Speaker 2: It's you're not running out of natural for if you
• 2:29:57
  Speaker 2: let everything do it do his thing. You know, do
• 2:29:59
  Speaker 2: you know how many jellyfish it is? Somebody should start
• 2:30:02
  Speaker 2: eating them and then because that is a crazy jellyfish
• 2:30:06
  Speaker 2: can mob out like mob out and they can kill you,
• 2:30:10
  Speaker 2: and they can kill you. Yeah, somebody eat them, something
• 2:30:13
  Speaker 2: eats them.
• 2:30:14
  Speaker 1: You can eat them at Chinese restaurants. I've had jellyfish before.
• 2:30:17
  Speaker 2: Was it good?
• 2:30:17
  Speaker 1: I don't remember it being good. I don't remember where
• 2:30:20
  Speaker 1: I ate it, but I remember someone cooked a specific
• 2:30:23
  Speaker 1: type of jellyfish and I was like, okay, so I
• 2:30:25
  Speaker 1: didn't even know.
• 2:30:26
  Speaker 2: You could cook that in Texas.
• 2:30:27
  Speaker 1: And look, jellyfish are edible.
• 2:30:31
  Speaker 2: In Texas and Louisiana. The amount of crawfish that we
• 2:30:35
  Speaker 2: eat in two months, it's literally insane.
• 2:30:39
  Speaker 1: Imagine they didn't imagine what crawfish would be.
• 2:30:42
  Speaker 2: Imagine I know I can account for at least fifty
• 2:30:47
  Speaker 2: pounds by myselfe.
• 2:30:50
  Speaker 1: How many crawfish there would be. I people weren't eating them.
• 2:30:53
  Speaker 1: Like when I was a kid. I grew up in Florida.
• 2:30:55
  Speaker 2: For a while.
• 2:30:56
  Speaker 1: We lived in Florida in Gainesville, and there was allegace Florida,
• 2:30:59
  Speaker 1: but they were protect did back then. The alligators were
• 2:31:02
  Speaker 1: protected like theglades. Well it wasn't the Everglades quite here. Okay,
• 2:31:07
  Speaker 1: hold on edible jellyfish best known edible species and using
• 2:31:11
  Speaker 1: Asian cuisine. Oh boy, try to say that word. Rope
• 2:31:15
  Speaker 1: Belema escalentum, often referred to as the Japanese edible jellyfish.
• 2:31:21
  Speaker 1: That's a lot easier, or flame jellyfish. Yeah, so there's
• 2:31:25
  Speaker 1: a few different species of jellyfish. Anyway, my point was
• 2:31:29
  Speaker 1: when I was a kid, alligators were protected and they
• 2:31:32
  Speaker 1: were at this lake and you could see them and
• 2:31:34
  Speaker 1: peop would throw marshballs in the water and the alligators
• 2:31:36
  Speaker 1: would eat them. And then now there's too many, Like
• 2:31:42
  Speaker 1: there's so many alligators there now, like they can't get
• 2:31:45
  Speaker 1: rid of them. They're in every body of water. Everywhere
• 2:31:47
  Speaker 1: you go, there's alligators. Yeah, the entire everglades filled with alligators,
• 2:31:53
  Speaker 1: golf courses filled with alligators.
• 2:31:54
  Speaker 2: I remember when they when they kid got eaten that
• 2:31:59
  Speaker 2: oh Disney World, and I was like, Yo, that's insanity,
• 2:32:03
  Speaker 2: because I don't trust a puddle of water in Florida,
• 2:32:08
  Speaker 2: a puddle, it could be a puddle. I'm like, it's
• 2:32:10
  Speaker 2: an alligator there. It's like what they removed four hundred some
• 2:32:14
  Speaker 2: odd alligators from Disney World.
• 2:32:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, they remove them all the time. They have to
• 2:32:19
  Speaker 1: check every day to go back there and make sure
• 2:32:21
  Speaker 1: that there's no alligators.
• 2:32:22
  Speaker 2: It's like a huge number.
• 2:32:24
  Speaker 1: It's a huge number.
• 2:32:25
  Speaker 2: That's like maybe twenty four this year, forty or something
• 2:32:28
  Speaker 2: this year, but it's four hundred and something in a
• 2:32:31
  Speaker 2: wild like that's insane.
• 2:32:32
  Speaker 1: You know, disney World has a bass fishing lake. You
• 2:32:35
  Speaker 1: can go bass fishing at disney World. There's like a
• 2:32:38
  Speaker 1: little trip that you take you go there. Four hundred
• 2:32:41
  Speaker 1: and fourteen alligators removed from disney World since Toddler's death
• 2:32:44
  Speaker 1: ten years ago. That's a lot of monsters. It's a
• 2:32:49
  Speaker 1: lot of monsters. Man, they're legit monsters.
• 2:32:53
  Speaker 2: I remember when I was in Guam. I was in
• 2:32:55
  Speaker 2: Guam doing the show, and I think the military moved
• 2:32:58
  Speaker 2: there and it was a bird that they were trying
• 2:33:01
  Speaker 2: to protect, and so they killed all these snakes. And
• 2:33:05
  Speaker 2: this is how when you change the ecosystem to something,
• 2:33:07
  Speaker 2: something happens. So the snakes not only were they eating
• 2:33:12
  Speaker 2: that bird, but they were eating and controlling the toad population.
• 2:33:18
  Speaker 2: So when they got rid of the snake, we were
• 2:33:22
  Speaker 2: coming back from the show and it's like it's literally
• 2:33:27
  Speaker 2: hundreds of thousands of frogs that come out at night.
• 2:33:33
  Speaker 2: They everywhere. It's like you just see them flat in
• 2:33:36
  Speaker 2: the street because you can't not you can't miss them there.
• 2:33:39
  Speaker 2: It was hundreds of thousands of frogs on Guam and
• 2:33:44
  Speaker 2: I was like, yo, man, they up everything.
• 2:33:46
  Speaker 1: They gotta do something, man, people Metal, bring the snake back.
• 2:33:49
  Speaker 2: Got to bring the snake.
• 2:33:50
  Speaker 1: Stop. Stop, stop your bullshit people, just metal. I mean,
• 2:33:57
  Speaker 1: there's so many countries that are infested with animals. The
• 2:34:00
  Speaker 1: people brought in to kill other animals. You know, like
• 2:34:03
  Speaker 1: Australia is a giant feral cat problem. They brought in
• 2:34:06
  Speaker 1: feral cats, I think to kill it. I forget what species.
• 2:34:09
  Speaker 1: I think it was a toad. They were trying to
• 2:34:11
  Speaker 1: kill off.
• 2:34:11
  Speaker 2: My neighborhood as a goddamn cat problem. My neighborhood is
• 2:34:16
  Speaker 2: like one cat has some babies and my family had
• 2:34:22
  Speaker 2: something to do with it. We fed, we fed the cat,
• 2:34:24
  Speaker 2: and then of.
• 2:34:25
  Speaker 1: Course you want to be nice. Meanwhile, they're killing billions
• 2:34:30
  Speaker 1: of birds every year in this country.
• 2:34:32
  Speaker 2: Cats.
• 2:34:33
  Speaker 1: So I love cats. I love cats too, but they
• 2:34:35
  Speaker 1: kill billions house cats kill billions of birds and mammals
• 2:34:39
  Speaker 1: in this country every year.
• 2:34:40
  Speaker 2: If you don't have a bug problem, if you have
• 2:34:42
  Speaker 2: a cat in your house, because you know, we had
• 2:34:44
  Speaker 2: these water bugs. They call them cockroaches. But I've watched
• 2:34:48
  Speaker 2: it before I left the cat that just outside he
• 2:34:51
  Speaker 2: was just slapping one around. It's like five of them
• 2:34:53
  Speaker 2: dead out there. He's just slapping one around, like just
• 2:34:56
  Speaker 2: toying with him. But I don't mind, because then they
• 2:34:59
  Speaker 2: never or make it into my house.
• 2:35:02
  Speaker 3: It's like CATSA I don't know about the four pest
• 2:35:05
  Speaker 3: campaign that happened in China.
• 2:35:07
  Speaker 1: What is that? What they do?
• 2:35:09
  Speaker 3: It explains it to you in this these little for.
• 2:35:10
  Speaker 1: Under MAO aimed at exterminating rats, flies, mosquitos, and sparrows
• 2:35:14
  Speaker 1: as a part of the Great Leap Forward. It was
• 2:35:17
  Speaker 1: framed as a public hygiene and agricultural protection drive meant
• 2:35:20
  Speaker 1: to reduce disease and protect grain from being eaten or contaminated.
• 2:35:23
  Speaker 1: Mass mobilization methods included trapping and poisoning rats, swatting flies, mosquitos,
• 2:35:28
  Speaker 1: and organized efforts to scare and kill sparrows.
• 2:35:33
  Speaker 3: It's like that, it's before you get to the end here.
• 2:35:35
  Speaker 3: They had one little problem, so they introduced something else
• 2:35:37
  Speaker 3: to fix that problem. That created a new problem, so
• 2:35:39
  Speaker 3: they introduced something else to fix that problem. Yeah, ended
• 2:35:43
  Speaker 3: here with tens of millions of people dying from a
• 2:35:45
  Speaker 3: famine because they didn't have the natural ecosystem.
• 2:35:49
  Speaker 1: So this is crazy. So sparrows were targeted because they
• 2:35:53
  Speaker 1: ate grain seeds, but they also consume large numbers of
• 2:35:56
  Speaker 1: crop eating insects. Their near extinction caused an ecoloze imbalance,
• 2:36:00
  Speaker 1: leading to insect population booms, lower crop yields, and contributing
• 2:36:04
  Speaker 1: to Chinese famine, the Great Chinese Famine, which tens of
• 2:36:07
  Speaker 1: millions died.
• 2:36:08
  Speaker 2: Wow, I have to give something to get something.
• 2:36:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, man, you don't think you're smarter than nature, you
• 2:36:14
  Speaker 1: dumb fuck.
• 2:36:16
  Speaker 2: You gotta give something to get because there's.
• 2:36:18
  Speaker 1: A balance out there and we don't totally understand that balance.
• 2:36:21
  Speaker 2: What's this fish that we have now.
• 2:36:24
  Speaker 1: Asian carp, the one that's infested all the different lakes,
• 2:36:27
  Speaker 1: and then the snakehead that's another one.
• 2:36:29
  Speaker 2: Then that the jont that torpedoes up.
• 2:36:32
  Speaker 1: So that's the Asian carp. Yeah, they fly through the
• 2:36:34
  Speaker 1: air when you're in a boat. They just for whatever reason,
• 2:36:36
  Speaker 1: when you're in a boat, they just try to throw
• 2:36:38
  Speaker 1: themselves onto the boat. Give me the fuck out of
• 2:36:43
  Speaker 1: this lake. There's so many of them, and they don't
• 2:36:46
  Speaker 1: have a natural predator, and they bring them into places
• 2:36:49
  Speaker 1: sometimes to clean up the algae. And then also now
• 2:36:53
  Speaker 1: you have a carp problem. Now the carp beat all
• 2:36:55
  Speaker 1: the algae. They eat everything where it's like your whole
• 2:36:57
  Speaker 1: lake looks like a swimming pool. There's no algae left.
• 2:37:00
  Speaker 1: Look at these fucking things. That is crazy. That's the
• 2:37:04
  Speaker 1: Illinois River. I mean, this is just hundreds of fish
• 2:37:07
  Speaker 1: just flying through the air everywhere they go. How nuts
• 2:37:11
  Speaker 1: is that? You ever see people they shoot them with
• 2:37:14
  Speaker 1: bows and arrows, so they wait from the hop up
• 2:37:16
  Speaker 1: in the end they try to catch them in the
• 2:37:17
  Speaker 1: air with a bow and arrow.
• 2:37:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:37:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a bunch of people do that. That's a
• 2:37:22
  Speaker 1: very popular sport.
• 2:37:26
  Speaker 2: Is this fish edible?
• 2:37:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I've never heard of anybody eat. I
• 2:37:30
  Speaker 1: know people eat regular carp. I don't know if asian
• 2:37:33
  Speaker 1: is Asian carp edible? Yep, there you go. It's lean
• 2:37:39
  Speaker 1: and nutritious favor.
• 2:37:42
  Speaker 2: So I would just have a net roll them behind me.
• 2:37:45
  Speaker 1: And filet of fish. There you go. Don't you guys
• 2:37:47
  Speaker 1: need product? There you go, get out there with bows
• 2:37:50
  Speaker 1: and arrows and get it done.
• 2:37:52
  Speaker 2: How many crawlfish does Texas and Louisiana consume in crawfish season.
• 2:37:57
  Speaker 1: That's a good question. I guess you would have to
• 2:37:59
  Speaker 1: do it pounds, right? Would you do it in pounds
• 2:38:01
  Speaker 1: or millions of actual crawfish? Because they they don't measure
• 2:38:05
  Speaker 1: them in individuals? They wait may buy weight, right, because they're.
• 2:38:09
  Speaker 2: Kind of they go buy weight.
• 2:38:11
  Speaker 1: How many pounds of crawfish do you think Texas? Just
• 2:38:14
  Speaker 1: say Texas and Louisiana in a year? Fifty million?
• 2:38:19
  Speaker 3: Who I have to ask again, but it did give
• 2:38:22
  Speaker 3: me ninety percent of the farm crawfish comes from Louisiana.
• 2:38:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, how many pounds? Give me the answer? How
• 2:38:31
  Speaker 1: many pounds?
• 2:38:32

  Speaker 1: a lot. It's fucking way more than that. What is it?
• 2:38:48
  Speaker 1: What is it?
• 2:38:49
  Speaker 3: Seventy percent of the consumed amount is eaten in Louisiana
• 2:38:53
  Speaker 3: and the total is upwards of one hundred and fifty
• 2:38:56
  Speaker 3: million pounds Yeah, one hundred twenty to one hundred and
• 2:39:00
