  Speaker 1: a couple of things. You know, there was a bad
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: flu going around too well.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: I went to uh, you know, I went to Vegas
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: and early and I had it kind of I just
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: thought I had a cold when I went, and uh,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: my doctor here gave me a shot of steroids, and
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: I felt way fucking better. I mean I felt better everywhere.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: I was more flexible. I was like, fuck, I don't
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: want to do steroids.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Every guy.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but whatever it was, man, I could
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: touch the floor without being to my knees, without stretching
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: it all like that.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: She said, steroids. You gave it to me. I don't
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: ask a lot of questions, you know, so you just
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: felt loose. I felt loose and good. I played really
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: good golf. And then I got there and it started
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: catching up with me. I had my girlfriend, I'm staying
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: in the mansion down at you know, at MGM Grand,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: which is pretty sweet. And I had that show just
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: on Saturday. When we got there on Wednesday, and I'm like,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: fuck it, I'm not gonna make it. I felt it
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: all deteriorate. So I called this it was so bad.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: You didn't think you were going to make it on Saturday.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I didn't. I didn't. I thought I would need another
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: shot of steroids. That's so I called a doctor or
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: had the hotel called it doctor, and I thought I
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: was getting. The doctor that was, you know, whatever it
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: takes to get through the show, right, and uh, you know,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: but that's not the doctor I got. The doctor I
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: got was we needed let's test you for COVID. I'm like, no, no,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: I don't have COVID. He said, I won't charge you
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: if it's negative, which didn't make any sense to me,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: and I said, well, okay. And then it came up
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: positive for COVID and he said, see there the T
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: and the X and the and the thing. And I said, yeah,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I see it. Let's do it again because I don't
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: think I have COVID. So we did it again, came
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: up positive again. Not only would he not give me
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: the COVID shot, he told me to quit taking the
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: antibiotics I was already on and uh. And he did
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: nothing except for called the CDC to tell them I
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: had COVID and they both said, you cannot do the show.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I'm like, wait a minute, you're the wrong doctor. I
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: don't want to fucking retire today. Shit, I want to
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: hear's the your drummers a junkie. He's out of heroin.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Get him some fucking something to get him through. This guy.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: So they were telling you you can't do the show
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: because you had a specific kind of a cold, a
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: COVID cold. So if you had the flu, would he
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: have stopped you from doing the.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Show, I'd say absolutely not. That's so I don't think
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: it would even come up.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: That's so weird because right now, like the deaths from
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: COVID now are so low, like the idea that this
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: is still a pandemic and they still have to treat
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: it differently than they do a cold, they do.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: And well, you know, I I was faced with do
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: I cancel a show? Well, that's not the same as
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Saint Louis when they just moved the date and the
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: people from Saint Louis come back out. This is Las Vegas.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: A lot of those people come specifically to see me
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: because I don't do all those shows that I used
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: to do. So it's kind of if you want to
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: come see it, and that's a good place. And so
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: it's a problem. You know, it's a refund. You got
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: to refund them all because those people are going to
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: be there.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Most importantly, your fans are bumped out.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, my fuck, I've disappointed them. Everybody's here. Fuck, let's
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: do the show. So I just sitting there. I didn't
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: know what to do. So I'm like, well, I'm just
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: gonna call him, gim Grant and tell them what the
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: fuck's going on. Let it be their call, you know.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: And they were like, so, h how do you feel.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I feel like I can make it through
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: the show. And they're like, oh, I say, let's just
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: go ahead and do it. You're you know, it's a
• 4:36

  Speaker 2: It's twenty twenty five.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: If you told me you you did tell me you

  Speaker 1: He was so much time.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I'm an asshole, the biggest asshole every It would be
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: so horrible sick. I know nobody, nobody got sick. And
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: it wasn't until the next day that I got sick.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: That's when the vomiting started. Wasn't in Vegas. It was
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: day two. It was Tuesday after Kill Tony. That's when

• 5:46
  Speaker 1: And uh, which is really good. Coming to club tonight?
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Uh, you know they asked me to. I don't know
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: who's got the set tonight. I don't know who's got
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: to show you.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Let's go.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's go. I'll go.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Let's go run White plus Bottom of the Barrel tonight too.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: The kill Tony was on, isn't that amazing. I'm so happy.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I'm so happy for Tony and Redband and for everybody
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: on the show. I'm just so happy that that show
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: is now on Netflix.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: It's sweet. You know. I always believed in it, and
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: you know that. And I always saw something in Tony
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: I know, oh never sure what exactly it was, but
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: I saw something. You know that this kid works hard.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: You know, he's got a dream that he's fucking making
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: it work, and he's making it work with hard work.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: He works hard. He works really hard at that show.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Man really does.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I mean I call him in the middle of the
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: day sometimes and he's just laying out, like how he's
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: going to do the show, what he's got. He's like,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: he's planning it. He's wandering around his apartment writing notes down,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: just planning it out in his head. He's legit. This
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: is the thing about success. It's a product of hard work.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: And in that example, I fucking know it's a product
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: of hard work. Those guys did that show every goddamn
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Monday for ten plus.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Years, starting with six people in the crowd.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I was one of them. I was there when they
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: were doing the belly Room show. But I always encouraged it.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: I encourage people to do shows when no one's watching,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: because I think that, you know, the only way something
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: builds is you got to get it started. You can't
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: think you're gonna launch a podcast and it's gonna have
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: a million downloads. It's not that way, and you don't
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: want it that way anyway. You want to get good
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: at it, You want to learn how to do it.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: You want to iron out the kinks.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: I agree, I agree, And they did it.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: They fucking did it. They did it, and now it's
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: one of the best shows in the world. It's the
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: funniest fucking show on television for sure.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: You know, as far as just a fucking entertaining thing
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: to goddamn do, I mean, just to come down. You know,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: my last girlfriend was so addicted to the show. She
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: would come almost every Monday. And it's hard for me
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: to go down there on Kiltny night because they got
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: the you know, the green rooms hocked out to nineteen
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: thousand people and there's no place for me to go,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: right and uh so, you know, but but she was
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: addicted to it. I mean, just is something fun to do.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: You know, it's a fun thing to do because you're
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: gonna get some great comics. You're gonna and it doesn't
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: matter if if the comic eats it on stage, because
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: it's still funny. You know, that's not the point. The
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: point is that everybody has access, you know, in some way.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: And uh and and there's no shortcut to get there.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Because I tried to shortcut it because I thought I could,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: because I was ron white and my banker said, yeah,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: I've been doing stand up and I'd love to get
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: no problem. I'll tell them I'll fix this for you
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: and uh and he was like, yeah, da, no, you can't.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: It's a bucket pull. That's the only way he can
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: do it is to get his name in there.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: And it's a legit bucket pull, and it really is.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: And sometimes one of our guys gets in, like a
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: song's been on a couple of times now, you know,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: and sometimes not. You put you put your name in
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: the bucket. We'll see there's hundreds of names in that bucket.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: It it's a great idea. It's a great idea and
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: it is.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: And it's inclusive to anybody. I mean, it's amazing to
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: me who he saw the had the vision to put anybody, anybody,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: no matter what kind of physical shape if they you
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: can't even say a word and handicapped on top of that,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: and you know, just.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Give it a go, give it a go, give it
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: a go. Try to be funny, your best, just do
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: your best. There's a lot of people doing their best.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: I'm thrilled. I'm thrilled for the success of it.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: It's incredible. Yeah, it really is it's fun too. It's
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: like it makes everything more fun when when there's a
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: fun thing like that out there in the world, more
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: of us have fun. We have more fun at the clubs,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: We have more more fun talking about comedy.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And you know, it made me really proud to
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: to I mean, just to walk out on stage and
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: it's you know, it's you and Shane and and Segura
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: and Tony and these are my friends, you know, these
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: are are my buddies. This is my tribe right here,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: and uh, and we're doing something really special and it's
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: a fucking hoot.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: You know, it is a fucking hoot.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: It's a fucking hoot.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's uh, that club is the best place
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: for it.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: I hadn't. I had a nightmare the other night, Oh yeah,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: and it was about the club and that I was
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: the headliner that night. And I got down there and
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: there were like nine eleven year old girls and that's
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: all the tickets we could sell. And I was like,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: did you tell them I was coming to me? Yeah?
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: We put it in the thing and nobody showed up
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: rod except for these chicks.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: If I was your psychiatrist, I'd sit down to go Ron,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: what do you think this means to you? But inside
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: of your subconscious makes you think that only eleven year
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: old girls would come to see you do comedies.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: That's because for thirty eight years, I've been waiting for
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: the end, you know, And it finally happened that that night,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: in the middle of that dream. See, I knew it
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: would happen.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I knew that, And it drives me crazy. I don't
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: understand how you can think like that.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: I just always have because I you know, it never
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: works as good as it works for me, you know,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's worked okay for you, But I mean,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: you know, these kind of careers don't last forever unless
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: they do, and there's not very many of them that do,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: you know, last fucking four decades.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: It's a different world now, run. I think they do
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: last now, I guess. I think the thing that was
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: going on before was everybody thought you did comedy to
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: get to something. He did comedy to get to the movies.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: He did comedy to get to TV. And if you didn't,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: then you were a failure and you thought of yourself
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: as a failure, and other people thought of you as
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: a failure too, and that would diminish your confidence, that
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: would diminish your draw. And only a few people survived
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: that and escaped, and a lot of great comics, like
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Richard Jenny, for instance, he got caught up in that
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: and felt like he was a failure and a loser
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: and wind up fucking killing himself. Meanwhile, he was one
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: of the greatest comics. He just missed the boat. He
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: missed the internet boat. He would have been But I
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: missed it too. You didn't, though, But you didn't. He
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: didn't miss it. You didn't. You caught us. You caught
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: the whole wave. Brother, You came to the and it's
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: great for all of us. We all know each other.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: It's great for all of us. There's no more you
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: know waves like in terms of like your career is
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: going to die off, your your career is depending entirely
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: on your work. And your work's never been better.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: No, I don't think it has.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: It's never been better. You're on fire right now. You
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: are killing it. The other night we were in the
• 12:38

  Speaker 2: more conducive to getting chops. I mean that really is
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: a gym to me, and uh uh and everybody there
• 13:09

• 14:05
  Speaker 1: have to do, a lot of women get in there,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of non binary people. All you have to
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: do is just be good. Yeah, there's showcases all the time.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Adam's picking people all the time. People will see you
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: if you're funny. Your shit's on the internet. It's like
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: the path has never been clearer now for a young comic.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: I mean when I was young, start now and it's like,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: how do you do this? How do you get on stage?
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: How do you get a manager, how do you get paid?
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: How do you do it right? You know? Now it's
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: like it's kind of laid out.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: It is, and there are people also hanging around like
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: me that have been through all this stuff before, you know,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: the growth spot to know how to get better, you know,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: because I was like you, there was no direction, there
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: was nobody giving advice, there was you know, you just
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: looked at it. And went, okay, I'll try this.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let's see. And well you've made it late in
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: life too. You know, that's probably why you have this
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: thing in your head because like when did Blue Collar was? Like,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: how old were you when that that.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Tour kicked out? Forty five?
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: I think, yeah, see, that's that's that's why that's the thing.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: You know, who else had that same sort of feel?
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Phil Hartman? Phil Hartman didn't get on Saturday Night Live.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: I think he was thirty six. That was his first.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Break thirty six.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Now did he do stand up balls or he was
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: going to?
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: He would do some stand up to warm up the
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: crowd sometimes okay, and he would fuck around and he
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: and I talked about it and I said, anytime you
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: want to do it, I'll go. I'll take you to
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: the store. I go, you can get on stage list,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: I go. You don't need a lot of time, you
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: just like put together five minutes. I help you. I
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: know you could do it. And he had some really
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: funny impressions. He had a really funny Bill Clinton impression.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: He was a funny fucking dude and a hard worker.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: You want to talk about a hard worker that dude
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: needs to make me. Everybody felt like they weren't a
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: professional when they were on that guy, because you'd have
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: like tab and shit, a notebook where all his scenes were,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: everything was organized.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I already feel unperfectional.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: While he was doing that, he was also trying to
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: take his pilot's license. In between scenes, you'd be reading
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: airplane books.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Christ what a fucking tragedy, man.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: What oh bro, you don't know the half of it.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: I tried to get him to divorce her a long
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: time ago. I told him, like right when he was struggling.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: I said, man, just give her half, just get out.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: You'll make more money. And he was like, well, it's
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: not half. It's a scam. The lawyers get a third.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: It's a third. You get a third of your fucking money. Okay, okay, okay,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: just care the money. Just care the money. Money is
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: fun coupons.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Right.

• 20:21
  Speaker 1: first time I was going to go on stage again
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: because I was everyone was wrecked. I didn't even know
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: like how long it would take before I felt like
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: I could do comedy again. So I'm at the gas
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: station getting gas and uh just randomly run into a
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: buddy of mine who's a cop, and uh, I go, hey,

  Speaker 1: She barricaded herself in the bathroom and she had the
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: kids in there with her with a gun. And a
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: lot of times, when moms killed themselves, they'll kill their
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: kids too. And the cops saw that, and so they
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: kicked open the door, and when they kicked open the door,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: the kids ran from the mom. The kids ran out
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: of the bathroom, and then the mom blew her brains out.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Fuck I forgot about I forgot about that part of it.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, I forgot that she killed herself.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: I'm seeing my friend at the gas station right before
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: I go on stage. I'm going on stage about forty
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: five minutes Jesus, yeah, half hour drive at the comic store,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: fifteen minutes before I'm going to go on stage, and
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: this this is my face. I'm just like, there's nothing
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: funny in the world. There's nothing funny in the world.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: And then after I recovered, you know, I took click
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: another week off and then I came back and I
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: was like, he would just he just wanted me to
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: keep going. I had a dream about him once. It
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: was like the most realistic dream I've ever had about
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: anybody in my life ever in my life. He was
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: sitting in a lawn chair and I ran into him
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: and I was like, what do you how are you doing?
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: What are you doing? And he's like, oh, I'm fine.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: He goes, We made up. He goes, it was a lot.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: He goes, obviously we had a lot to work out.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: And he laughed about it, and uh, I said, well
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: that's great, man. And then he pushed the chair back
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: and he was gone, and then I woke up like
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: he was gone. It was the one of the most
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: I've had two very realistic dreams in my life that
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: seemed so realistic they didn't even make sense. That was
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: one of them where it was like I felt like
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: he was there. I didn't. I didn't. I feel like
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: you wanted me to let it go. Was was so weird.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: I felt like, you know, he wanted It's like that's
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: how he was whenever they would fight, because it like
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not I don't like fights in really what sounds
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: crazy because I commentate on fights, but I don't like
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: I don't like conflict. I wish it didn't exist. The
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: reason why I got good at fighting like martial arts,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: is because they was scared of conflict. I don't like it.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: I understand it, but I don't think it's necessary, and
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: I don't think fighting in a relationship. I think that's
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: the worst. And the people that get in these relationship
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: they scream and yell at each other and call each
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: other horrible names. But with a lot of people, it
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: becomes this cycle of getting mad at each other and
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: then making up, and then making up, sex is like
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: very addictive to a lot of people. It's like it's
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: a different kind of thing. And you get on this
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: weird roller coaster ride. If I hate you, I love you,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: I hate you, I love you hate And he was
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: he was on that roller coaster ride, and he was
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: letting me know, like it just went too far and
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: went crazy.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: You know. I lived in Mexico for a while with
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: a with a woman who eventually took her own life.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: And uh, I mean I was already out of the
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: picture for a couple of years and when that happened,
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: But when I was in Mexico with her, I knew
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: that I was. I was trapped. Number one. I was.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: I moved down there to start a fucking pottery company
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: because I was frustrated with stand up comedy. They had
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: just cut my the Funny Bone chain had just cut
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: my pay by a third because they realized that I
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: just worked for them. Oh and I couldn't patch this
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: schedule together without them, so they and I told the
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: guy that ran the Funny Bone, Gerald Kuback, to go
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: eat a steaming bowl of fuck. And uh, I don't.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Even know what that would look like.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but it cost me a lot of
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: work to say it, but it was still fun to
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: say and wow. But I moved with her down to Mexico,
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: and and I knew that she was crazy and I
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: and the way it came up was that she had
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: called a friend of mine and told her that sometimes
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: she stands over in my bed with a knife and
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: just stares at me. And and my son was there
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: also part of the time, and I'm like, well, that's over.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: I got to get out of this. And but but
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: the the big thing was I was depressed because of
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: my situation because I didn't see a way out of it.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: You know, I didn't see a way out. I just
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: couldn't see. I just couldn't see a path. And uh.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: And it got to where when I was around people,
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: I couldn't talk and uh, and you know I did.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: I had no tribe, you know, at all. I was
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: cut off from all my friends. And it's just something
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: I did to myself with that. Moved down to Mexico,
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: which I was there for three years, and it was
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: just the worst time of my life. And I really
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: didn't think I'd ever come out of it. I mean,
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: I'd never thought I could even get back to a
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: place where I could sit out and have a conversation
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: with somebody. That's how depressed I was. And when I
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: it was funny because I moved into Mexico. I had
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: the biggest truck that rider makes, pulling the biggest trailer
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: they make, My van pulling the biggest trailer they make,
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: all headed down south to everything moved to Mexico by
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: Mexico because my girlfriend at the time did this mosaic
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: tile application to existing pottery and she would sell it
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: a art shows or craft shows, you know whatever, and
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: it would sell really fast. But it took her six
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: months to make any of it. So I thought, why
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: wouldn't you just go down to Mexico and train a
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: bunch of women how to make it and let her
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: orchestrate it. And I did it. Part of that sucking
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: sound that ross Perot was talking about going to Mexico.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: Three years later, I had the exact same equipment headed
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: on uh north out of Mexico, with the same exact
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: truck trailer. Everything. That was a bad ideas and uh wow,
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: but but once once I oh, she was so hot.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: Oh she was so hot. And I'd never been with
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: a hot woman before. I'd never been with I mean,
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: it was my girl, you know, yeah, and she was
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: just so she was so beautiful. I'm like, I'm gonna
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: I'll be with her even though I hate her, just
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: so I can look at her, you know, I just
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: stare at her and that'll be enough. That's all I'll need.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Turns out I needed a little more than that.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: So but uh, you can only tolerate so much.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: And then and I ended up marrying this other girl
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: that was horrible. I mean, I mean, I know she's
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: probably listening to the right now, so I don't mean horrible,
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: but horrible. And uh, but she always sharts the internet
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: for things about me, so she could say, hey, this
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: person said, thanks for signing my girlfriend's tickets. What are
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: you out there signing girlfriend's tickets? Yeah, I was signing
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: anybody's ticket, you know, just always looking every time she
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: turned on her computer and made me sick to my
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: stomach because I didn't know what she was going to
• 28:22

• 31:33
  Speaker 1: As I get older, I'm less and less inclined. There's
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: the people I don't wish to talk to, Like I
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: don't need that in my life. I don't need whatever
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: you bring in my life. But I don't wish you bad.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I have really really healthy boundaries when it comes
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: to people that don't make me feel good. Yeah, I
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: just don't. I just won't hang around.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't want to be around him and confront
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: him like, who cares? Good luck to you.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: I'll give you a hug, I got some other shit
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: going on. Yeah, I have friends, But you know what,
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: I tell you, what makes you a good friend when
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: you get successful? And I'll just talk about successful like
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: I am. It's hard to find anybody that'll disagree with you.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: You know that, because there's something to gain. And and
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: that's true with you too. I mean that, you know
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: you you hold a lot of power, and you have
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: something a lot of people fucking want. And I know
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: that because I have a I have a box of
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: and I should have brought them in and given them
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: to you. Anyway, I'll bring him to the club tonight.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: But it's just a guy I'm met that owns a
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: sunglass company and he makes sunglasses for hunting. And so
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: he said.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: Who are sunglasses when they hunt?
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know nobody.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: Uh, you can't wear them when well, I guess maybe
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: some people probably do. I bet rifle hunters do.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they He said that one of them are specifically
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: for bow hunting. It makes you see the target better
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: or something.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: So he's got an invention.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't know. I don't hunt, so I
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: don't really know anything about hunting and glasses. He just
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: said he was going to send a box. Would you
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: give him to Joe? And I said, yeah, I'll give
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: him to him. And I didn't, So.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: I would think the glasses would get in the way,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: because you know, when you shoot with the bow, there's
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: a thing called a peep site. So you have your
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: string and in your string is uh what one of
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: the things that's sewn into your string is this little
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: plastic circle? Sure do you know what it is?
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, so you know what lines up with the scope
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: of the housing of the bow.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know that.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: So with a peep site is when you draw back
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: and you don't look through the string, you look through
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: the circle that's on the string. It's sewed into the string,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: and that circle you line it up exactly with your
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: site housing. And so where your pin is. It's all
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: about like staying calm and keeping that pin there, and
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: you want to keep it all like connected together. So
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: my eyes like right there, like right next to this,
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: this this peep site. If I had glasses, am I
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: getting the way? You know what I mean? Like because
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: the string is touching my nose and the thing is
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: right there and I'm just drawing back and I'm looking
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: at it like that right.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: Through I'll give him to you. See what you think.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know anybody who shooting, but I knew I
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: know some hunters that have glasses, so there must be
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: a way to adjust.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. That's why you told me, though.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Okay, we'll try it out, all right. I'm open to
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: anything you never know, and anything that makes you good
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: at that. That's a fucking difficult thing to do. You know.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Like if I meet a guy and he's like, I'm
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: a bow hunter, I'm like.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay, Oh, what I'm saying is this go ahead.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: What I'm saying is this that that you're one of
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: the only friends that I have that'll say now, that's
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: fucked up. Right, You don't agree with me to make
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: me feel better because you have something, I have something
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: you need. Right, you know you'll go ahead and go n.

  Speaker 1: be there. Don't do it. Don't do it. You just
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: you got to resist the urge.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: So I went back to my ayahuasca place down in
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: Costa Rica boom boom boom. So I went four years ago, right,
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: and uh, and that's when I quit drinking, which you
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: know I did, right, You know I quit drinking.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: I quit too a month ago.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: I knew that you weren't drinking.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I didn't stop drinking.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that it was a Yeah.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: I think I'm done. Yeah, for no reason other than
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: it's not good for you.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: No, I didn't have to.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: I enjoyed it, right, No, you were having a good time.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: I was watching.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: But the days after drinking were just too rough. And
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: I'm like, what kind of a moron who takes so
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: good care of his body is poisoned himself a couple
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: of days a week for fun?
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Why am I doing that? And then I'm like, well,
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: will I have the same amount of fun if I
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: don't poison myself? Turns out yes, exactly, right.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: Well, there's more than one way to skin a cat.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, you haven't quit everything, right, exactly, Yeah, And
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: I'm just skinning a cat a different way.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Tell me about your cat. Well, I'm going to play
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: some ecros. Did they play those while you went through
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: the There we go, Jamie's got them already, So what's that.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: This is the songs that a lot of the shaman
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: liked to play while you're tripping balls, okay, and if
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: they play this song while you're under the influence, the
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: hallucination will dance to the songs.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: Oh wow.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: It's there's certain songs you're like, I don't get it,
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: like the Grateful Dead. I've never been on acid at
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: a Dead concert, but they say, if you are, you
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: get it. So like I'm missing that part right, you know.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: So to me, it's like, it's just this jam music,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: which is fine, but I'd rather listen to Skinnered, you know.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: What I mean. I saw a Skinnered Monday or a
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: Sunday night and it was.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: The original, the real Skinner before they're playing Crash.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: No, I'm just saying these guys are put show together. Sure,
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: Ricky Medlock playing Alan Collins is play, they have two
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: other guitar players, but it is a band. I mean,
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: they are nailing this shit. I had tears coming out
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: of my eyes during fucking Freebird for a lot of reasons.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: Number one, I saw them in seventy three. Me and
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: Steve Cook, who was my best friend till the day
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: died and uh. And Ronnie van z Aunt was lighting
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: joints and he was handing him out into the crowd. Well,
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: me and Steve had worked our way up to the front.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: He handed one of them to me, and everybody else
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: was taking a hit. I just stuck at my pocket
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: and uh, and it went in the bathroom and smoked
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: it because they were kitty. It was illegal then. And
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: I was listening to Skit. Well, Sunday night, I'm at
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: the Skinner show. There's cops where I was, and there
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: was some outhouses right next to it where you go
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: through this fence, and I told my girlfriend I'll be
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: right back, and I was over there. I was in
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: the outhouse smoking a joint, listening to Skinner, and I'm like, well,
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: I haven't changed much in fifty fucking years, you know,
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: the exact same thing.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: So some songs people just nailed it and it stays
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: great forever. Yeah, you can never get tired of free Bird.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: But there's solo.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they just fucking hammered it home. I mean
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: it was so good. Oh that it was just I
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: couldn't believe it. You know, them on stage at the
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: Greek one time, maybe twenty years ago, or fifteen years ago,
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know. And it was fun because I got
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: to I got to say that, you know, when I
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: was sixteen years old, we were at the Scared Show
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: and we had taken enough mushrooms to kill an average teenager,
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: but we weren't average teenagers. And ladies and gentlemen ladders scattered.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: It was great, fun, cool, and uh so it kind
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: of brought back all those memories, you know, when in
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: Washington played again. It was kind of It's weird because
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: especially when I come back from rhythmia, which is my
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: place out there that I always come back emotional.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: Right and.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: Kind of full of love and forgiveness and those kinds
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: of things. That's quick what I learned from from those hallucinogens.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, isn't it crazy that that's illegal? Yeah, to feel good,
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: we got to go to another country to be a
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: better person. You've got to go to another You got
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: to leave the land of the free, right, leave the
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: land of freedom to go to another country that's much
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: more lawless and taking the divine and come back a
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: better person.
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: It's and it's crazy, and I always say, and I
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: don't think it's for everybody, you know, I'm not somebody
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: out there just going, yeah, you got to you got
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: to do this, because I think you have to be
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: open to some things. You know, you have to be
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: open to Hey, maybe I'm wrong about everything. You know,
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: maybe there is.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: If you're not open to it, you'll get hit hard well.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: And that's why it's not for everybody, because you know,
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: I've seen people wig down there and uh, and which
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: is why I you know, I know you can get
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: ayahuasca locally and have they have you know, people that
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: are I don't know where they got their shaman title from,

  Speaker 2: that there. You know, it's a license medical facility with doctors.
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: It's the only one in the world that's a licensed
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: medical facility. And uh it's and they're prepared when people wig,
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: you know, they know what to.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: Do you down.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they do too. They will fucking bind you
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: up and wait till it to clear because they know
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: that you're at a point in this that you're going
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: through some heavy ship. One of them was an NFL
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: player last time I was there, and this guy was
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: fucking huge place from Buffalo and uh and he just
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: and I was like, God, if if you had to
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: pick somebody to wig you would say, please, don't let
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: it be that fucking dude. He wigged. Oh no, he
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: wigged big time and started just screaming, get the fuck
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: away from me now, which will you know that kind
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: of You know, you got seventy people in this room
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: that are tripping and so oh no, and it was
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: and but they got big guys too, and so they
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: just got him out of the room, got him calm down,
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: and he didn't leave. You know, he was going through
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: some shit. The first time I went there, this girl
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: from Japan started kicking and screaming, and they took her
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: outside and they had to fucking subduer. But at the
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: end of the day, the person with the biggest smile
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: on their face was her because she worked through some
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: shit that I can't even talk about. That I happened
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: to know what it was, but it ain't worth knowing it.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: But she found pure fucking joy and peace in her life,
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: and you could see it in her face, you know.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: And I was wondering why when she was wigging out,
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: why is nobody flipping out but me? Because the people
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: that worked there weren't flipping out at all. Because they've
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: seen it, and there's nothing they haven't seen. There's been
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: eighteen thousand people through that facility, and so they've seen
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: it all. But they just know how to they know
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: how to handle it. Well. I wonder if you're just
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: in some mansion in Beverly Hills or whatever, if there's
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: somebody there that knows how to handle it.
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: Probably not, Probably not, Probably not, especially if you don't
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: know what you're gonna get hit with.
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you need to be in a really safe
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: place where people know how to guide you through it. Yeah,
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: you know you don't. It's not something I think you
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: want to grab a handful of and go sit in
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: a fucking closet, you know, and try to figure it
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: out for yourself.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: So that's the real weirdness of any kind of psychedelic journey,
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: is that you're probably gonna be going through some shit
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: and someone could either manipulate you during that time or
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: help you during that right, And there are people that
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: will manipulate.
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: You, absolutely, And that's why, you know, that's why I
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: go to this place that's not that easy to go to,
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: just because it's so safe, you know, It's just it's
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: set up perfectly for what they're trying to do. And
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: it was this guy's dream to do that, to make
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: it accessible to regular people. So back then when he
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: opened up, you had to go to a corrugated tin
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: shack in Peru or wherever to get this stuff. And
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: he said, I want to make a place that's safe
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: to go and people feel comfortable. And you know, so,
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: isn't it kind.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: Of crazy that that's illegal. I mean, it's kind of
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: the weirdest thing of all time that we haven't just
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: as a society went, Okay, why are all these people
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: going to these places? Okay, when they come back, do
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: they have positive experiences? Does it help them? Yeah? A
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: lot of them. Okay, why don't we do that here?
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: It should be that simple, should be that simple, It
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: should be so simple.
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah. There was a guy there that was on a
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: scholarship they had for basically wounded warriors that are going
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: through heavy PTSD. There's an organization that's sending guys to
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: rhythmia and so, and I got to talk to him
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: a lot while he was there, and he was a psychologist.
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: Uh and but and he was he was fucked up,
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: and uh, but I kind of got to watch his
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: transformation a little bit. Watch this guy's coming around. And
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: I've seen that, and I've seen the transformation in myself
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: where I could just not be so angry and not
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: be and not hold all this hate. You know that
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: that I that that that takes so much energy to
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: fucking control and to have them really show me a
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: way to let all that stuff go, you know, to
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: uh and to be a happier person. Uh, you know that. Uh,
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: And it's hard to I really don't understand ayahuasca, so
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: it's really hard to explain it to somebody else, you know.
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: But uh, but I.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: Don't think anybody really understands it.
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right, And I know there's some stuff that's stronger
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: than that, but I don't that. I don't know what
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: it's called. What is that?
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: What it is I began is the one that people
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: use for addiction. There's a place called Beyond that's in
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: Mexico that does that. Rick Perry was telling us about that.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: A lot of former Governor Rick Perry's part of that.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: He really wants to bring I Begain to Texas and.
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: Have treatment we Gambre.
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: I think they can get iye again, I think especially
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: with a Republican like Rick Perry, who's really concerned about
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: the mental health of veterans, because I think that's where
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: it really shines. I Begain in particular helps a lot
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: of people alsolt. It gives you like a review of
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: your life. Apparently I've never experienced it, but the people
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: that have have very positive things to say about it,
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: and it's incredibly good at helping people get over addictions.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: It has a very high success rate for one treatment,
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: I think it's in the eighty percent, and then for
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: if you do two treatments, it's in the mid nineties.
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: That's amazing.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, people that never go back to the never, never
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: go back to whatever, that's gambling, whatever you have, whatever's
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: wrong with you.
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: All you got to do is figure out what's wrong
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: with you.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you have to figure out why you're doing that. Like,
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: what is this pathway that I keep going down that's
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: sabotaging my whole life? And why why can I not
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: resist it? Why do I keep reaching for the bottle?
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: What is it? Why do I keep snorting coke? What
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: is it? What is it?
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: Well, that was the question I had with myself because
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: I drank like a fool for years. It was funny
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: because they were whenever I was single again and I
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: was in the green room and I said, maybe I'll
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: start drinking again, and everybody at one time went, no,
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: I I.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: Was just kidding. I was just getting well, you quit
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: like that though, you did, like you were gone?
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: I did, and uh. But but I went to to
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: to Rhythm with intention. I wanted to know why I
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: was doing this to myself and why I could not
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: see a way to quit, and it was so tied
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: up in my persona, my stage presence, who I really
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: was at the time, and I'm like, why is this
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: all tied to me? And why can't I shake it?
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: And and so with that, I also went through hypnosis
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: because I had to get sober before I went to
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: because that's not what their deal is. They're not a
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: treatment facility. It could be a byproduct of it, but
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: they're like, we we're not gonna we don't have detox here,
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: you know, So you have to quit some other way
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: and once you've been sober for a month, you can
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: come down here, which is exactly what I did. I
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: came up with a way to do that through hypnosis,
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: which I thought was pretty effective. And but I got
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: sober once before in one of those rehabs in Malibu
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: for ninety grand and which was at the time I
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: was spiraling, you know, I was I was living in
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: a five star hotel and hills, I was doing a
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: bunch of blow. I was screwing expensive hookers, which was
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: exactly my life plan. You know. I'm like, okay, here
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: it is, this is And it ended up feeling pretty hollow,
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: you know. And I ended up going there and uh
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: and I stayed sober for about maybe six months or
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: something like that. But it was white knuckle the whole
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: fucking time of you know, no fun. But when I
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: when I did it the way I did it, when
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: I checked into that facility, I got the sweat night
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: sweats so bad. When I quit that I would They
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: had two beds in the new people's things, and I
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: would soak the sheets in one of them and move
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: to the other bed and soak the sheets in that.
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: When I was detoxing big time, never happened this time.
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: I never had a night sweat, never regretted it, never
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: thought about it again, never tempted to drink again. And
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: and you know, and I I own number one tequila
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: still and it's there at the green room every night,
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: and I'm not even it doesn't even bother me a bit.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: That's interesting. And so that's what the big fear a
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: lot of people have is how I still be around bars.
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: Right and you know, and and yeah, is it a
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: little awkward at first? Yes? And do I hang out
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: in bars all the time other than our club, No,
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: I don't. I mean, I'll go listen to music. If
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: there's something better just to go to a bar and
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: hang out, I just don't do it. And uh, for
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: whatever reason.
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: Well, it's not that much fun being around drunks when
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: you're sold. No, it's really not the vibe of the
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: drunks to appreciate drunk talk. When you're sober and someone's
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: drunk and they're telling you some fucking story about their
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: boss being a douchebag, it's like.
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: Whoa, Right, So, and I also have a tendency, a
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: natural tendency to just kind of isolate anyway, you know.
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: And so I really that's one of the things I
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: love about the club is it gets me out of
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: the house. It gives me to go down there where
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: my friends are and do what I do for a living,
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: and what I do for a living and what I
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: do for fun both.
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of people have that problem, that
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: isolation problem, you know.
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because I think that I think that that
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: people like you and I I think a lot is
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: a lot gets dumped on us, you know, because I'm
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: the of all the friends that I know that I've
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: known for a long while, I'm the only one that
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: has that's been very successful, not out of my comic friends,
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: but out of my regular friends. And and it seems
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: like I get just I have to take in a
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: lot of stuff, and I never knew how to get
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: rid of it. So I would just get to the
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: point where I was full and I couldn't take any more.
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: And that's when I would isolate myself, right Tony, people
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: want something to too many people want something. That's why
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: I'm gravitate towards you, is because I know you don't
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: want jack ship for me except for me to be
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: your buddy, and uh, let us be brothers in comedy
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: and whatever, so in life and life and so you know.
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: So that's really good for me even today. You know.
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: That's what gets me out of the house sometimes, you know.
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: And I love being home. I love being home with
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: my family. Hanging out. But my comedy family I love
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: being around too, and that's what I feel like. I
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: feel like when, especially when comics are in town that
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: I don't get to see that often. Oh, we all
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: hang out together. It's beautiful.
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: Who were those two actors that were at the club
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: the other day? It was so much fun to have
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: them in there. It was which night. Fuck, I don't know.
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: We get a lot of visitors when Wood he was there, No,
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: uh yeah, Brady Cooper and well, it was fun to
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: have him in the green room because you know, we
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: we we all we're all around each other all the time.
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: So it's winning to have a new people in there
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: with with stories we've never heard. I was one. Yeah,
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: it was it was coolly shit, you know, just to
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: have him hanging out. You know, good guys, you know.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: What he was there. You weren't here when what he
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: was there? No, Oh my god, he was so much fun.
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: He's so fun.
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: Did he do your show? No?
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he did my show, but then this that was
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: nights before that, and he just wanted to come to
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: the club. He's been to the club a couple of
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: times now.
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: Harrelson, Yeah, Oh, I didn't know.
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: That Yeah, he's just been hanging out.
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: Fuck, I always wanted to meet that.
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: Oh he's so nice. We just all hung out in
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: the green room and he was just like one of
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: the boys. It was so easy.
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: How fucking cool? Is that?
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: So cool? So he's so easy to talk to, so
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: like and talks to everybody the same way. He's like
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: so easy. He's just a genuine dude. He don't even
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: have a phone. You can't even get a hold of him. Really, Yeah,
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: you don't have a phone, doesn't have a doesn't do email.
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: Fuck you. He's like a got an assistant that handles everything. Yeah,
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: this is probably a freeing thing. You know, it's just
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: just stop, just stop, leave me alone, right you know.
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: Well I don't answer emails anyway.
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: It's also like, let me know what I actually, let
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: me think about what I think about things, instead of
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: being inundated by all these other people's thoughts constantly all
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: day long, which is valuable. It's good to get other
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: people's perspectives on things. I think it enriches you, but
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: at a certain point in time become captive to it.
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: And I think there's just too many people that are
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: captive to other people's thoughts.
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: I think so too. That's why I'm so closed minded.
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: And I really am. I'm truly closed minded. And I
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: think you're open minded and try to be. And and
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: I struggle with that because just letting people pour information
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: into my head, you know, I just I just tend
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: to avoid it. I am engaged, you know, and that
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: I do follow things closely, and not the stock market,
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: but everything else.
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: Follow this dock marker right now. It's so baffling, it's
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: so crazy, Like what is going on? Like the whole
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: world's matter at us. Trump's playing golf and in between swings,
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: He's on the phone with presidents of countries.
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: You gonna need more money? Yeah, that's right. Somebody told
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: me the other day. Is he playing jackers? Is he
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: playing chances? He's playing golf.
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: He's playing golf, Like what does that mean? Everybody wants
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: to think there's some like grand plan to it. Well,
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: they think the grand plan is. Look, you know we
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: remember back when the was it the ninety two elections
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: when ross Parro is in so when ross Paro laid
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: out what happened You remember during that debate, when ross
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: Paro laid out what happened with the tariffs, so that
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: like they when we try to sell stuff over there,
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: we get a high tariff, it's like a thirty five
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: percent tariff, but they don't get tariffs when it comes
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: over here. It's not the same. It's not like you know,
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: you guys, there's a tax on everybody. If you want
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: to sell your goods to encourage people to buy American products.
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: If you want to sell your products in America, we
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: get a tax. That tax goes to the fucking grid
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: or whatever the hell they're fixing with it. Ross bro
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: was laying it out like this is how all the
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: jobs went to Mexico. Because have you ever seen that, Jamie.
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: It's it's see if you can find it. It's a
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: great speech because Ross.
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: He talked about the giant sucking sound.
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: Yes, you actually mentioned that earlier.
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: I was talking about it.
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's it. That's funny. Did you just see that
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: recently or something?
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: No, I just remember it.
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: Oh boy, the giant size.
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: He would have been a great president.
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: He voted for him.
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: He had big ears.
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: You know, he didn't come across as independent. He was
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: an independent, and nobody was voting for independent. By the way,
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: they changed the whole way debates work after this, because
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: it used to be if you got five percent of
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: the vote in the primary that you could be a
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: part of the presidential debates, and uh, that's not the case.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: Or it was five percent in a I forget what
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: the number was that you had to reach, but it
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: wasn't a high threshold, and then you could be a
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: part of the debate. And they changed the shit out
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: of that after this because ross pro tanked it. They
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: thought HW was going to go for a second term,
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: and meanwhile Ross pro fucked it up because a lot
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: of people that would have voted for Bush voted for
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: Ross and the people that were already going to vote
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: for Clinton voted for Clinton, and Clinton won. Bill play
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: this gym thirteen.
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: Dollars fourteen dollars an hour for factory workers, and you
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: can move your factory south for border. Pay a dollar
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: an hour for labor.
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: Hire young twenty five.
• 59:29
  Speaker 3: That's assume you've been in business for a long time.
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: You've got to mature, work for it. Pay a dollar
• 59:33
  Speaker 3: an hour for your labor.
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: Have no health care.
• 59:36
  Speaker 3: That's the most expensive single element making a car. Have
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: no environmental controls, no pollution controls, and no retirement and
• 59:45
  Speaker 3: you don't care about anything but making money. There will
• 59:48
  Speaker 3: be a jomp sucking sounding there.
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: It is right there.
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: If the people send me to.
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: Wash the and the first thing I'll do is study
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: that two thousand page agreement and make sure it's a
• 59:58
  Speaker 3: two way street. One last point here I've called. I
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: decided I was dumb and didn't understand it, so I
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 3: called it.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: Who's who?
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 3: The folks have been around it? And I said, well,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: won't everybody go south? They said, we'll be disrupted. I
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: said for how long? I finally got them up for
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 3: twelve to fifteen years, And I said, well, how does
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: it stop being disrupted? And that is when their jobs
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: come up from a dollar an hour to six dollars
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: an hour, and I just go down to six dollars
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: an hour. Then it's leveled again. But in the meantime,
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: you've wrecked the country with these kinds of deals.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ, he was what a fucking smart man.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: He was right, And that's exactly what happened. American manufacturing collapsed. Yeah,
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: and they did it all for money, and they did
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: it all because they were greedy.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: They were already rich, right, And if.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: We could have just gotten those motherfuckers in my ayahuasca.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ, they just smoothed the fuck out. Man.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: It would have said, okay, okay, okay, well let's be nice,
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: let's make America great again.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: I don't understand the trade war with Canada because have
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: you ever met a Canadian that had thirty five dollars
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: in his pocket? No, they're all broke. They have twenty
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: two dollars, that's it. And they'll buy you a beer.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: You know, I love I've always Yeah, they're pro any
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: money up there, comeing to have any money because because
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: it's socialism, you know, they just they I think it's
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: a great place, don't you love Canada?
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: I love it. Well, they have socialized medicine, but it's
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: not it's a capitalist society.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: It is, but socialized medicine. It's expensive. So they how much?
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: What percentage of did Canadians paying taxes? So I don't know,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: let's find that out. What is uh? What's the Canadian
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: tax rate? I know it's higher than Americans.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: I know. Mine's a bitch.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: And when you go over there, you have to pay
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: taxes too, Like if you do a gig, yeah you
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: have to pay tax Yeah, you pay Canadian taxes on.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: It, and you get paid in Canadian dollars. I'm not
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: going up there much for shows.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know, so here it is Canadian. Canada's
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: top federal income tax rate is thirty three percent. Well,
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: the US is thirty seven percent.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: However, when combining federal provincial state taxes, Canadians often face
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: higher marginal rates across various income levels. That's interesting, but
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: there's only thirty three percent. Ours is thirty seven. I
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: thought ours was lower than theirs.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: I thought ours was forty.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: Well it is when you get to a certain tax bracket, correct,
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: Isn't it ours changes when you get high? Right?
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: It does?
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: Thirty three percent on the portion over two hundred and
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: forty six thousand dollars. What's a what's ours in terms
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: of like the highest tax bracket? What's the highest US
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: to Is it thirty seven? That's what it is. What's
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: really crazy to me is when people say the rich
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: should pay more taxes. Okay, fine, but where do you
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: think that's going? Where's it going? Where is the money going?
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: Is the money's going to the federal government? Do you
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: think they're good at it? Do you think they're good
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: at managing your money, if you paid attention to all
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: the shit. Elon's fucking uncovered. Thirty seven percent is when
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: you make over six hundred and nine thousand dollars here,
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: that's you, montherfucker.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: Oh that's it's me last month.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: This is the thing. It's like, I'm happy to pay
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: tax if I thought that they were doing a great job.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: But it's just you are being strong armed into giving
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: money to people that do a really shitty job of
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: protecting your money and investigate in the country. It's a
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: lot of it is going to bureaucracy and bullshit and
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: a bunch of things that you don't have any saying.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: If you could like opt out of it, if you could,
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: like imagine if you like pick what you you know,
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: if you had like a whole tax sheet, would you
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: like your money to go to would you like your
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: money to go to? Uh overthrowing governments? No? Like what
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: if the federal government's budget was entirely based on the
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: will of the people, Like you get to choose, like
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: how much your money you want to put into drone
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: strikes and Yemen? I says, I don't want zero of
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: my money going to that. You know, how many. How
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: much money do you want to go to this or that?
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: Or clean water? Okay, clean waters, I was good. You know,
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: how much infrastructure if fuck yah fixed the streets.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm kind of I agree with you. And I've
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: just heard you say this that you know, everybody should
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: have access to health care and education and the whole country,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: the whole country, everybody. That that would rise us all.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: Up, less losers. Yeah, that's how you make a Marriaga great,
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: Less losers, Less people that are saddled down with a
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: lifetime of debt because they broke their leg. That's crazy.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all my you know, all my son's friends are
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: all saddled with ninety thousand dollars worth of fucking student
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: loan debt. And uh and my son was lucky enough
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: to that I had enough money to pay for his
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: you know, and uh and so he doesn't have that burden.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: But god damn it, nobody should have that burden for
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: an education.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: And it's just a for profit institution that rope you
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: into thinking that that was necessary, that you have to
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: be And by the way, you can get as good
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: an education right now online as is available anywhere on.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: Earth if you have the discipline anticipline. Right.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what's so wild. That's what's so fascinating about
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: this time is that it is basically obsolete, and yet
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: people are still paying seventy thousand dollars a year for it.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: And more like, what what does Harvard cost? How much
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: is Harvard? What's Harvard's yearly tuition? Jamie, what do you guess?
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: I was elite? Fifty?
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, at least fifty.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: Imagine if you're a middle class guy and you've got
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: two kids and they do real good and they don't
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: have scholarships, and you got to pay for them.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: I can't imagine. I mean, I don't see how people
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: do it. I mean, I really don't.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: Really do it.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: Oh boy.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: The total cost of attendance, including fees, housing, and food,
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: reaching around eighty two thousand dollars. Undergraduate tuish is fifty
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: six and fifty dollars for a year. That's a lot
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: of money.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: Man, that's one year. And if you drop out after
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: one year, then you have nothing in your down eighty grand.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: But if you make it through those four years, is
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: now you're two hundred grand in the hole that you owe.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: And then you have to get a job and then
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: you get a job that pays fifty and you're like, what, yeah,
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: oh my god, this off right, and they never pay
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: this off.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: And then you have to throw a couple of kids
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: on top of that, and.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: You know something wild. There's people out there, there's Social
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: Security is getting docked because they owe student loans. So
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: that take money out of your social Security to pay
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: for your student loans, because the student loans is the
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: one thing you can never.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: Scant bankrupt, which is so crazy, it's cruel.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense. You're saddling an eighteen year
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: old with the burden of a lifetime hot Harvard, we're
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: off a free tuition for families earning two hundred thousand
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: dollars or less a year. Oh that's great.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: To who? To who? You can't even get into.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: Harvard's right, but it's still good. We'll be free for
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: students and families earning two hundred thousand dollars or less
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: a year. Announced Monday, Harvard's long sought to open our
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: doors to the most talented students, no matter their financial circumstances.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: That's great, Yeah, that's great. I just don't know if
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: it's necessary. I think it's probably necessary for kids to
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: go to school just to like a passage, a right
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: of passage, you know, Like I think ceremonies and rights
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: of passages are missing at our society, and especially I
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: could speak for young men. They don't know when they're
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: a man, Like am I a man? Yet? Like there's
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: some men that you know in their thirties, their dad's
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: still yelling at them, you know what I mean. It's
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: like when do I am I man? When am I
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: an equal? When am I? You know, we don't have
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: a ceremony. You know, in other tribal societies and all
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: throughout history, people have had rituals, rights of passage, rituals
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: where people feel like, Okay, we fucking made it, you know,
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: like you have a black belt ceremony. You got your
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: black belt, all right, right, I made it. You know
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: I'm in. But you know that's so I think there's
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: a benefit in that society. But then you got to
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: like unlearn all this shit. Your fucking crazy professors are
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: telling you.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: Did you go to college?
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: Yes, I went to you Mass Boston.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, that's good school, right, easy to get into.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: I was. I only went because I didn't want people
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: thinking I was a loser. That's the only reason why
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: I went. I just wasted my time there. I went
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: for three years, just wasting my time taking class so
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: I could tell people I was going to college.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't waste any time. I got kicked out
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: of high school in the tenth grade. So you know,
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: my mind is an open book there A lot of
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: the pages aren't filled in. And you know what, and
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: I always kind of I regret. I regret that a
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: little bit, you know, that I didn't go to college,
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: that I didn't What.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: Do you regret about it?
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: Well, just you know, I well, I number one, I
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: think i'd be smarter. I don't know what it is.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: And I've made it just fine with what I've had,
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: you know, and you know, I've got attention deficit disorder
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: and all these things. It really kept me from doing
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: traditional school work very well. Not even sure that's real
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: attention deficit disorder.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think it's rerual.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: You don't know, let me change your mind.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of people that aren't interested
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: in a lot of things. But when they're interested in
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: when I when they say attention deficit disorder, why are
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: those guys so good? At video games, Like why are
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: they so good at things that aren't school? I think
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: it's just you. I think the human. I think we
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: could categorize it into a bunch of different like disorders
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: and problems. But I think a lot of that is
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: a way to get you hooked on some sort of
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: pharmaceutical drug. It's going to fix whatever problem you have
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: that doesn't allow you to sit in class and listen
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: to some boring shit for fucking six hours. Right, you
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: got no problem writing jokes, Ron White, you got no
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: problem performing. So it's not like there's not a thing
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: that you can't excel at that you can. You can
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: pay attention when.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: You're I don't know, I don't know about that. I
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: think of comedy was the answer to every problem I had. No,
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: you're just because that's what I was good at.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: You're a comic, you're you are a comic, like that's
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: what you're supposed to do.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: But let me give you an example.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: That's my point is that there's a lot of different
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: like functions in society. There's a lot of different roles
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: in society.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: I think they probably tag add to people that don't
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: have it, But I know that I still have it.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: So if let's say that I was going to put
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: together a ceiling fan and hang it in my roof,
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: which I'm not, uh, I could no more do that
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: than the man in the moon without an Adderall. If
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: I take an adderall, I'll read the directions. I'll put
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: the whole thing together and hang it on. No problem
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: without it. They're at it. I've tried, you just get ted.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: You're bored. You need excitement. You're a certain type of
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: dude who needs a certain type of stimulation, which is
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: why you like the high wire act of performing live.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's a disorder. I think it's a
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: superpower that I do. I think the ability, the inability
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: to pay attention to ship that's not interesting is not
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: a disorder. Is you know what's interesting and what's not?
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: You know? To this? Like, maybe I have it too,
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: because this day, when I'm talking to someone, they're saying
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: something really boring. I want to and I just can't.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: It's like it's I just want to get out. That
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean I have a disorder. I don't think I
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: have a disorder, because if I'm talking to you, I
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: got no problem at all.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: Well, let's let's let's get two ceiling fans out here.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm I'm sure I'm not that good at putting
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: together a ceiling fan either. I wouldn't enjoy it, but
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: I could do it. You just follow the directions like
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: you can follow directions. It's not hard. It's just you
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: wouldn't enjoy it. But if it was something that you
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: enjoyed doing, like learning how to swing a golf club better,
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: and you can pay attention.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: I do pay attention to that.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. I think there's roles in this
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: world's and different personalities fit perfectly into mathematics. Different personalities
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: put fit perfectly in philosophy, different engineering, different personalities. It's
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: like you just got to find out what what vibes
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: with the way you think. And we all think differently,
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: we all have different backgrounds, we all have different biology.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: You know, you just got to find what is the
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: thing that like syncs up with the way your mind works.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: And the problem with traditional education is there. It was
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: designed by the Rockefeller family, like the school system in
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: this country was designed to create better factory workers, right
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: and soldiers, and to get them real early. That's why
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: they want to start yet five, because they figured out
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: when you start people at twelve or thirteen, they already
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: got their ideas what the world is and how the
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: world works. And I'm not fucking shooting somebody for you,
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: you know. So what they do is they get you
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: when you're five, and when you're five, they can kind
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: of indoctrinate you, separate you from your parents most of
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: the day while your parents are at work, and so
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: that's like most of your day you have other people
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: other than your parents telling you how the world is,
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: how the world works, what's happening in you know, in
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: your life, and what you should be doing. And that's
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: kind of crazy because a lot of those people suck.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: I remember thinking that when I was a kid, like
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: thinking how strange it is that people that I don't
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: respect and I don't enjoy are the ones that are
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: in control of communicating to me most of the day.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: I remember very clearly thinking that when I was a
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: little kid, like ten eleven years old.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I know that. When I was a kid,
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: I used to have this this history teacher who was
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: also a pe coach. Now he had something as intriguing
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: as history to teach me. But I could not listen
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: to him talk, so he couldn't even make American history interesting.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: But a good teacher could have. A good teacher could
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: have roped me in to what was going on and
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: the story of it and how it affects my life
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: and the lives of my parents and my grandparents, how
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: it all went down, you know, And that's an interesting story.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: But if you're a dull, fucking assistant coach basketball and
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: now you've got a fucking one period of history and
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: you have a monotone voice and I'm just out of it,
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: I imagine what it would have been like to have
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: access to wonderful educators.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: Right, But if you were listening to like you ever
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: listen to Dan Carlin's podcast. No, He's got this podcast
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: called Hardcore History. It's incredible, incredible, it's amazing. It's such
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: a good podcast. And this guy will like lay out
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: the events of World War One in a way that
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: you will hang on every word and you'll park your car,
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: like if you've got to go somewhere, you'll keep your
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: car running because you just want to listen to where
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: this is going.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: So for God, like that.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: Was teaching you history, that would have been great. I mean,
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: I think I would have been engaged.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: He probably would have been a historian, yeah, making nothing. Yeah,
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: I mean but this he Dan Carlin's doing well. But
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: that's someone who loves what they do. And that's the difference.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: School is this weird in doctrination, fucking ritual that we
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: all have to go through and then we all have
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: to feel real bad about ourselves because we don't want
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: to be there and we're not doing good at it.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: I felt like a fucking complete loser in school. I
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: never felt like I was that I was supposed to
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: be there. I never felt like I was smart, you know.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: But I remember, like, like, finally when I realized that
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: I was never like what I was going to school
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: for three years. When I went to college for three years,
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: when I finally was like, what am I doing? Like
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: I stopped doing this is just wasting time? Because that's
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: all I was doing. It was just completely wasting time.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: It was like a huge weight lifted off my shoulders.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: I could just go, eh, not for me.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: Well, the one thing is I didn't waste that time,
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: you know, right there, I did the uh. But you know,
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: I think i'd have a better understanding of how the
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: world works. If I'd understood world history, you know that.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: I mean those kinds of things. You know. I just
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: wish I was you know, I wish I had an education.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: But what would I do with it? I have no idea.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: I'd still do stand up, so yeah, well hopefully, and
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't be any fucking fun.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: Christ imagine if you did, imagine you did go down
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: a different road. That would have sucked.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: I was before I started doing stand up. I was
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: a wind of salesman and uh, and I was broke
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: and I had nothing, and I was unimpressive and uh,
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: my in laws bought us a garage door opener, so
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: I had a garage door opener. Now you're gonna think
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: this is really fucking weird. I used to wear that
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: garage door opener on my belt so people would think
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: I had a beeper.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: I just people don't know about the beeper.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, people listening right now, Like, I have no idea
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: what that is.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: Ron and I have been through all the various stages
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: of technological inter wizardry. Yeah, but the intertwining of our
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: in our lives the way you know the first thing
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: was the beeper, like you would get a beeper like
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: My friend Johnny had one. You could page people. You
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: could page him and he would call the number.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're stopping a phone booth. Now that what a
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 2: phone booth is.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: And you have to like put quarters in the phone
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: and look at the beeper and do do do Hey,
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: what's up?
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: Hey?
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: What's going on where you are? And you'd have a
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: conversation with something. That's how you get ahold of them.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: You have to page them. Joey Diaz had a page
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: of Joey Diaz had a pager deep into the like
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: maybe the two thousands, wow, not kidding, Yeah, definitely in
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: the nineties he had a pager because I remember sometimes
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: he would go a wall and I'd be paging him,
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: like where are you? Like one time we were doing
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: a gig in Jersey. We're doing Rascals in East Orange,
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: and he fucking never showed up. And I finally got
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: a hold of on the phone. He's like, I'm not
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: gonna lie to your dog. I never left Vegas. God
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: damn it, Joey. I'll never forget that conversation.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 2: Vega. Not gonna lie to your dog. I never left Vegas.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: He was just having a good time. But that's how
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: you got ahold of him, you'd have to page him.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: That was it.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: And then when you got then one day he got
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: a phone. And when he got a phone, you better
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: not fucking text him. If you text him, he'll yell
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: at you, like Brian Redband used to text him.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: He stop fucking texting me.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: And then Joey eventually got an iPhone and Brian got
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: a text from him one day. I'm like, oh, he's texting.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: He's like, he fucking texted me. Now we'll text you.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: But he doesn't like to text.

• 1:20:35
  Speaker 2: the fuck out of the fucking room. At the store. Man,
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 2: he just beat that out of the crowds.
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: Some of the sets that I've seen him have in
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: the O R were I think. I think it's the

• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: I've seen everyone, great, great, great comedian. So I loved
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: Death and I'll watch him avery time they perform. But
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: I think Joey hit RPMs that nobody hit. He hit
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: these moments.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: Oh I saw him. Wind him up, man, just wind
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 2: them up.

• 1:21:36
  Speaker 2: Oh.

  Speaker 1: He He used to have this bit about Terry Crews,
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: like in Terry Crew's accused some guy of grabbing his dick,
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: you know, and he had this bit about Terry Crews
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: and an underwear commercial. Oh my God, it was so funny.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: You would you would be in the back of the
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: room just barely breath, you couldn't breathe. Everyone Like I
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: was looking around, the people are falling out of their
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: chairs like they couldn't handle it. And he was on fire,
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: just purple fucking red in the face, screaming and yelling like,
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 2: That is some of the first sets I saw you, dude,
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 2: at the store, and when you were doing that bit
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 2: where you were standing on top of the stool. Yeah,
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 2: fucking and I just remember just how just Dick slapped
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: those fucking crowds. I'm like, God, damn it, he's good
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 2: at this.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: Fuck it's a fun job, bro, it.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 2: Is the funnest Joe.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: We're so lucky. We're so lucky in so many ways.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: Just it doesn't make sense.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when I think about a life without stand up,
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 2: it makes me nervous to even think about it.
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: We almost did it, right, yeah, I mean when we
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: all went through that with COVID, I mean you were
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: basically saying you were done.
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 2: I thought it was done.
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't like it anymore.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 2: It was. I was halfway through every set, I was
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 2: couldn't wait for it to be over. Wow. And and
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 2: now I go on stage and I have this whole
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 2: new gratitude for these crowds you know that are still
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 2: there waiting bigger than ever. My shows sell out faster
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 2: than they ever have. And part of it just because
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 2: there's less of them, I guess, but also it's because
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: of my friends. You know, the word gets out. You
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 2: know you guys didn't let me die.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we knew. I mean, I tell everybody, but
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: it's true, like, you're one of the reasons why we
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: decided to buy a club because you grabbed Because you
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: grabbed me when you got off stage that first time.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: You hadn't been on stage only eight months and you
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: grabbed me by the shoulders. Whatever the fuck we have
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: to do, We're gonna keep doing this, Yeah, and we did.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: I never forget that moment. I was like, Okay, we're
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: gonna do it. You're gonna get that fucking club open.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: I'm like, we're gonna do it. I was already thinking
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: about doing it very seriously because I realized, like early
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: on coming here, I was like, we need a place.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: We can't just be working out of these rock and
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: roll clubs, they're not set up right.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 2: No, you know, no, there's a difference. I don't even
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: like to do I like to do set other places.
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 2: That's really what's wrong with the with the mother Ship.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 2: It'll spoil your fucking ass. Uh, you know, with great
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: crowds and perfect acoustics and an amazing sound system and
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 2: and uh you know, just and then when you move
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 2: over to another room, which I rarely do, do another
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 2: set in town. I did one of the other a
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 2: couple of months ago, and I was like, this sucks.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 2: If you guys want to find me, I'll be down
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 2: to Mothership. And uh but uh yeah we did it, Ron, Yeah.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: We actually did it. You know, it's interesting when you
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: look back at those conversations we used to have, like
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: we're in the Vulcan, hanging out in the green room
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: talking about what the club's going to be. Like, yeah,
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: it seemed like a pipe dream. I know a lot
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: of people probably did think it was fake. There's a
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: lot of people in LA like Tony used to talk
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: to them all time.
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, when's Joe opening that club. Club's never going to open.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 4: It's all bullshit. You guys move down there for no
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 4: fucking reason. Because the thing about you taking a making
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 4: a choice, that's a scar.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah. If the thing about you make it a choice
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: to go and you know, start something up, and the
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: people that are left behind, they kind of want you
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: to fail, especially the haters, they want you to So
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: Tony was like encountering that all the time. There's people
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: that just for whatever reason, they don't want other people
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: to They don'tly have people to escape the bomb that
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: they're in. You know, it's like people from the neighborhood
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: that don't want you to leave. And when you do leave, Oh, look,
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: who's bad?
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: People? For whatever reason, people really like when people fail.
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: You know, it's a gross feeling. It's a gross thing,
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: but it's super super common. Look for a joint.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Jesus Christ.
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: Wrong, don't you know we're in Texas. You know, that's
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: the first thing they got to fix is make this
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: shit legal in the whole country. It's so crazy that
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: when it's stopping them, Oh, I don't know, I don't
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: understand it. I mean, it's a political beach ball. It's
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: one of those things it just gets tossed around that
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: I think is good for the establishment that runs the country.
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: It's good to keep it up in the air, like
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: I'll promise when I get an office, Gaze will be
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: able to marry yay. Right, And then they're talking about
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: there's people that want to take that off the table.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: It's like there's a bunch of those things like Roe v. Wade,
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: that was a big one. There's a bunch of these
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: cultural beach balls that are very important issues to some people,
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: and they get exploited by politicians as a way to
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: promise you this and promise you that. But sure, but
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: it never nothing never gets fixed, nothing ever changes, right,
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: you know, Well.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 2: It's changing a little. You know. I didn't think marijuana
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 2: would ever be legal in Oklahoma. I thought they'd be
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: behind us, you know, But where do you go there?
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 2: Now it's billboards on every fucking street corner, Come get
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 2: your weed. You know.
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: New Mexico just authorized psilocybin therapy really yep, for people
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: with depression. I think depression and anxiety is that what
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: it's for, is that where they're using it, those terms
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: which apply to sure basically everybody.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 2: Right, everybody, everybody.
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: Everybody's had some depression in some anxiety. There you go
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: and I can get some mushrooms and figure your life out.
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 2: Well, maybe I'll give it a try.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just the problem is federally it's still not legal,
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: and which is It's so dumb. It's so dumb, you know,
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: And I don't think it's going to change. Unfortunately. I
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: don't think. I think Trump is too busy with all
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: these other issues. I don't think he's interested in that.
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: So co sponsor said, here goes. The bill would establish
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: an Advisory for Treatment Equity Fund and Research Fund, as
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: well as removed psilocybin from the Controlled Substances Act to
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: provide to protect qualified and registered patients, clinicians, and producers,
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: according to a news release jointly a news release released
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: jointly by the Office of the Senate and the House Democrats.
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 1: So this is what the Democrats have over the Republicans.
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 1: Freedom to explore your consciousness. Republicans, for whatever reason, they
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: shy away from that. It doesn't fit with their conservative
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: mindset of what you should. It used to be, it
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: didn't fit the freedom of speech, didn't fit with their mindset.
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 1: And now the Republicans are all about freedom of speech
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: because they realize the consequences of it. During the last
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: election cycle. You know, when things get censored, and when
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: you have a town square that's curated by not just
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: the big tech companies but also by the federal government itself,
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: things can get weird when you're trying to access the truth.
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: You want to know what is actually going on. When
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: certain stories have actually been suppressed for the news because
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: the federal government deems the misinformation even if they turn
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: out to be true, that's not good and so for
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: because of that, the right is supporting freedom of speech,
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: which I think is fucking great. That's great, that's what
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 1: we all should be supporting. But we all show should
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: be supporting the freedom to expand your consciousness. And people
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: have been doing it in certain ways for thousands and
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: thousands years. And you don't know better if you haven't
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: done it, If you haven't done it yourself, and you're
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: passing judgment on people that have, you're not qualified. If
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: you if you want to go, you know, do a
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 1: psilocybin session, like a heavy what Terence mckinna would call
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 1: a heroic dose. You want to do that and then
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: talk shit? Okay, but until then, because the thing is
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: like it would include you from doing the things that
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: you're doing. Know this, okay, If you are a fucking
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 1: rampant capitalist and all you give a fuck about is
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: your hedge fund, and all you give a fuck about
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: is the stock market and numbers and buying this exclusive
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 1: that and that exclusive this and getting tickets to this
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 1: exclusive thing, and all you're about is like status and numbers,
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: it will fuck that up. It will fuck that whole
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: thing sideways. You won't be able to take any of
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 1: that seriously anymore. But that's good. It's good for you.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: You're not supposed to be taking that seriously if you've
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 1: got half a billion dollars and you're still scrambling to
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: try to make more money. Like pause, you're sixty seven
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: years old. You're gonna die if you're lucky in thirty years.
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: If you're so lucky to hit ninety seven, Okay, thirty
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: years happened so quick. Man. We've been here for five ron,
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: I know we've been here for You were here for six,
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: You were here, you were paid zero. I always say
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: you were patient zero in the Austin invasion because I
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: remember calling you. It was in twenty eighteen when you
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: moved here. Seventeen. I remember calling you, going, what are
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: you doing down there? Like we missed you at the story.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 1: I fucking love it down here middle of the country.
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: If I want to fly, fly anywhere real quick. People
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: are nice, food's great, and I was like, fuck, can
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: I live in Texas? I started thinking about it then,
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: But then when the pandemic hit and I knew you
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: were here. And then I had some friends in LA
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: that were also real sketched out by all of it.
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: They all wound up moving somewhere else. A couple of
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: them move well, two families that was really good friends
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: with they moved to Dallas, and then another good family
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: friend moved to Vegas, and then another one just decided
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: to stay. And we all came out here together, you know,
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: groups of friends, and when we were looking around Austin,
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: I was like, fuck, Ron White lives here. I could
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: live here. That was like one of the first things
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: I thought. I thought, if Ron lives here, at least
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 1: I have Ron. Yeah, I got a friend, yeah, And
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: I was like, okay, I can't do stand up right
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: now anyway. But then as soon as I moved, Tony's
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: like fuck it, I'm moving. I was like, you're moving too,
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: And then so the girl's like I'm in. I was like,
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: holy shit. And then Brian Simpson came out real early,
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: and I didn't really know Brian well at all until
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: Tom introduced me to him. Tom was like, dude, you
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: gotta meet this Guy's so funny. He's so funny. So
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: he was here early too, and then a son and
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: Derek both moved out here early, and I'm like, oh shit,
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: we got something going on. And then Tim Dillon bought
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: a house out of here. I was like, oh my goodness,
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: what is happening. This is crazy. And then Duncan was like, man,
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 1: fucking North Carolina, I don't know, like, come to Texas, motherfucker.
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, Duncan's out here like
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: holy shit, holy shit, this is crazy. I'm like, all right,
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: we're up and running. And by the time we decided
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: to make that club fuck, we had like ten great
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: guys living here. Yeah, twelve and more were coming and
• 1:32:56

• 1:33:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah I live here for a week. I don't know
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 2: where I was, but uh yeah, you spend a week here,
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 2: you'll go, ah, this is doable.
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: Well, we all were so excited because it felt like
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 1: we were doing something different. Yeah, you know, I felt
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 1: like we were doing something different. I've always had this
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 1: fuck it part of me. I was like, fuck it,
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 1: let's go. I'm you.
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 2: That you do. You're impetuous as fuck. I like it
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 2: thro the time you told me you were gonna I'm
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 2: gonna move there, you had a house like two days later,
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 2: I'm like, god, damn, this guy moves when he moves.
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my kids helped a lot because they really wanted
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: to move.
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 2: That sweet ass place on the lake. Yeah that's good,
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 2: that's good living over there.
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: It's also like when we came here, no one had
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: masks on and everybody was acting normal. Yeah, and so
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: my kids like, what's going on, Like, how come everyone's
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: normal here? We should live here, you know. And then
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 1: it just it just happened. And then all of a sudden,
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 1: the store is closed. So I get all the employees
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: and then I was like, look, I'll pay you now.
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 1: You don't have to work, just hang out. Yeah, let's
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: we're gonna do something special.
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 2: That was more money than you were thinking it was.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: But money is fun.
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 2: Couponts, yeah, fun tickets, That's right, that's what it's supposed
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 2: to be.
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 1: You're not not having fun and you have money, you're
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: doing something wrong because you should be trying to have fun.
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 1: And sometimes some things you have to pay for in
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: order to have fun. A lot of fun is free,
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 1: but there's a lot of fun where you go like, oh,
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 1: we got to buy a building, we have to hire
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: an architect, we have to pay a construction crew, we
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 1: have to you know, we have to do a lot
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 1: of things. But that's the way to do it. That's
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: what you're supposed to do, and that I was the
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 1: person who was able to do it because the universe
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 1: had to say I did that. This thing wanted to
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 1: get made, and we hit every green light and then
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, well, clearly this is the thing
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 1: I'm supposed to do this. You know, I know it
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 1: sounds crazy, but let's go, you know. But the whole
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 1: thing was crazy, Like is in the middle of the
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: biggest deal I'd ever done ever in my whole life
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: Spotify this crazy thing. I was like, the show was
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 1: already like the.
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 2: Number one.
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: Deal with bananas bananas. But I was also like, okay,
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 1: well what should you know? You have to figure out
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 1: what you're going to do, like you have to be
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: you can't be at the whim of all these other
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: people's ideas and expectations, like what do you want to do.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 1: It's like, I want to get the fuck out of La,
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: so let's do it. So I moved in the middle
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: of everything. So this is giant deal I have. And
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, they're like, where are you going?
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 2: I'm going to Texas?
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: Like don't go to text? This is crazy, Like are
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 1: you sure you won't be able to get guess I'm like, look,
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 1: I'm flying guests in three times a week anyway, Right,
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 1: I was already flying people in from New Mexico and
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 1: New York.
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 2: And New York's closer than you know. It's a great spot, really.
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 1: Right, It's not like a six hour flight. That's six
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: hour flight across the whole country is a pain in
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: the ass that you know, the people were worn out
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 1: by the time they got there, so you know they
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 1: had to like have a night to rest and relax
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 1: and rehydrate, and and then the next day maybe you know,
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: still they're probably not one hundred percent. You know, this
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 1: is like three hours three hour flight, ain't shit, It's
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: a three hour flight everywhere.
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so easy. It's a great spot.
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But it's also like I feel like sometimes the
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 1: universe calls you in a way and tells you just
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: like it gives you a feeling. And I think I
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 1: ideas are like a life form. I really do. I
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 1: think it's like an unexplored life form. I think that's
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 1: why the concept of the muse is so enticing to people,
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 1: because there's something real to it, Like when you just
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 1: you're just gonna sit there and write, and you say,
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: it doesn't always come, like sometimes you get nothing, but
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: sometimes because you sat there, you'll have some of the
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 1: best lines you've ever written. Because I think they're like
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: life forms that you have to call into your life.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: And I think sometimes these life forms, these ideas, they
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: just exist in the ether, and by circumstance they like
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 1: kind of gel together and become more more valid and
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: more alive, and then they enter into your mind. And
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: if you're ready to receive these ideas, you have to
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: act on them, especially if they're positive. I'm not saying,
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: you know, go fuck up up the Capitol building because
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: you've had an idea. I mean positive ideas, not vengeful.
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 1: Like if you have a good a good soul, if
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 1: your golden life is a positive thing, these ideas will
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: come to you and you're supposed to if you can,
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 1: you're supposed to act on them. And I felt like, wow,
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: what are you unique opportunity. I have to be able
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: to do this. I shouldn't be scared because it's daunting
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: and it's expensive, and it's like what are you doing?
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 1: Like you just just do it, just do what you do.
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 2: You know, here's one thing that I believe. I believe
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 2: that things disguise themselves and we call them coincidences, but
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 2: there really are no coincidences. And if you'll look for
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 2: things that look like coincidences, you could follow that line
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 2: and go somewhere with it. Yeah, and uh, and I
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 2: feel like that that's what happened whenever, you know, with
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 2: the mass exodus and people started coming to comedy to
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 2: make this the best comedy scene in the world. Yeah, uh,
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 2: you know, those things fell into place because that's what
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 2: was supposed to happen, and uh, and I think it
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 2: all happened because of me in that I needed it
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 2: the worst. I needed this more than anybody else did.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 2: And I feel like I was able to cash in
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 2: all my fucking karma or whatever and draw it all
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 2: into me a little bit because I needed it and
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 2: that and so you know.
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: Well it makes sense, like it's certainly a huge factor, right,
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 1: because if you didn't inspire me to even think about Austin,
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't have And I wouldn't have moved here if
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 1: you weren't here. I don't think maybe I would have.
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: But it helped a lot that you were here. I
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 1: was like, this makes it so much easier than I
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 1: know Ron's here, because it was weird times then, man,
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 1: everything was even going to a restaurant, you felt like
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 1: you were a rebel, like it felt weird. It felt
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: weird to not be scared like you like you wanted
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 1: to hide the fact that you weren't scared, that you
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 1: wanted to just go out. It was a strange, strange,
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: strange time that I think even now we look back
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: on and we can't Like I watched a UFC fight
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: the other day, an older fight and all the cornermen
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 1: had masks on them, Like this is the craziest thing.
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 2: That stamp right there, you know, it's bizarre.
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: It was a fight that took place in an arena
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 1: in Florida with no crowd, no crowd, It was justin
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 1: Gaechee versus Tony Ferg. It was one of the first
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: fights we did. Back It was like, and you were there,
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 1: uh huh yeah. And I was watching the fight the
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 1: other day and I was looking at the cornerman and
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 1: they all had masks on. I was like, what a
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 1: weird fucking time, What a weird I remember, like people
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 1: would get upset if I didn't wear a mask. Backstage,
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 1: I'm like, what are we doing? What is this for?
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 1: Like this is crazy. These guys are beating the fuck
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 1: out of each other and sweating on each other, you know,
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 1: and all of us tested negative. That's how we got
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 1: through here. Like has someone been magically gonna get COVID
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 1: while we're all wandering around together? Don't we all test negative?
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 1: So you had to get in this room. They had
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: to be able to test you. Everybody get tested those
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: that you did exactly. So we're all in this room.
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 1: Take that fucking stupid mask off. But even the shows
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 1: we did with Chappelle outside that people were supposed to
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 1: wear masks outside outside, everyone's tested. Is this a mystery,
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 1: magical disease that we're encountering, that it's like demons hiding
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: in the woods.
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 2: Well but it But it was too at one time,
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 2: wasn't it. You know? I lost Vic Henley to that
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 2: disease in New York City early on.
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 1: But Vic was not a healthy guy. What the disease
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 1: is exposed metabolic health problems, didn't.
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 2: I'll admit that. I mean, he was a raging alcoholic
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 2: and he knew it, and I knew he was really
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 2: considering making some changes in his life. You know, he
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 2: was talking to me about and then boom, you know, gone.
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: So so in that sense, yes, it was, but it
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 1: wasn't in the sense where all these healthy people who
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 1: have been tested are. That's especially and the fighters, like
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 1: what we would have to do is if one of
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: the cornermen got COVID, even if the fighter didn't have COVID,
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 1: the fighter was pulled from the card. So one of
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 1: the cornerman tests positive for COVID because the fighter had
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 1: been around him, even if he's negative. We treated it
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 1: different than we treat did anything ever, And especially for
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 1: the fighters, it had like it was not gonna have
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 1: an effect on them unless they did. There's one guy
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 1: did have an effect on he got COVID really really bad.
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 1: But it's because they kept training. These guys kept training
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 1: while they had COVID. They never a lot of these guys,
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 1: they don't give a fuck. They have the flu. Who
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 1: cares they're showing up at the gym. It's part of
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 1: being an animal. It's like you'll show up sick and
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 1: you'll train through a city, but you shouldn't do that.
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 1: You're just breaking your immune system down further, and especially
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 1: if you're in camp. So being a camp for a
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 1: fighter is very different than regular working out. Being a
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 1: camp for a fighter is you are basically redlining your body,
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 1: trying to get it to recover, like trying to get
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 1: it to keep pace so you can get to a
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 1: super human level. That's only achievable after like a twelve
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 1: week camp, and you could only hold on to it
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks. They got it. They know
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: when you're peking sometimes and the back of fight are off,
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 1: they go, we're done today, we'll done, We're done today.
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 1: You're peaking too early. You're peaking too early. You don't
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 1: want to overdo it, so you want to back off
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 1: your training when you're feeling absolutely perfect and get yourself
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 1: just slow down where we're a little too soon. Like
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 1: a really good trainer knows when you're peaking, but you
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 1: can't maintain it forever. It's really only for That's why
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 1: it's so crazy that a lot of these guys, they'll
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 1: accept a fight on like ten days. Notice, Like that's nuts,
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 1: that's nuts. Like you need you need to be peaking.
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 1: You need to be like you're gonna fight in a
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 1: fucking cage. And I know you're doing this as a
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: financial decision. But that's why John Jones is the smartest.
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 1: John Jones never did that. They changed opponents. Fuck you
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 1: fights off, John Jones, even guys like Chail Son and
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 1: who eventually stomped in the first round, like absolutely destroy it.
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 1: It was not even remotely competitive. It was an annihilation.
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 1: It would have been an annihilation three hundred and sixty
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 1: five days year for decades. It wouldn't have mattered how
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 1: good John Jones is and his greatest chill son in
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 1: is John Jones was the bigger man Chail had fought
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 1: at one hundred and eighty five pounds. John was a
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 1: big two o five and he was the most talented
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 1: guy that ever fought in the sport. And he's gonna
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 1: win every time. But when they changed the opponent, they
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 1: try to make a chill son and he's like, nope, nope,
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 1: we do things the right way. I go through a
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 1: full camp. That's it. Fights off everybody like ah, because
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 1: they want you to play ball, get it, we need
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 1: a new guy. But look to this day, everybody says
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 1: he's the goat, Well why is he the goat? Because
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 1: he did everything the right way he knew, especially when
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 1: he wasn't partying, he did everything the wrong way too.
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 1: I mean he did a lot of partying and still
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 1: beat the fuck out of everybody because he was that good,
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 1: because he was that talented. One of the craziest things
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 1: he ever said Daniel Cormier when they were having a rematch.
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 1: They were talking shit in the press conference and Daniel
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 1: tor Mee said something to John John goes, I beat
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 1: you when I was on coke. It is the craziest
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 1: statement because he says, and you're like, oh shit, And
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 1: it's true, it's true, that's how good John was. But
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 1: if you try to change opponents, John's like, huh. Try
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 1: to call John Jones in for a late notice fight
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 1: on five days notice, They'll tell you go fuck yourself,
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 1: like nope, I'll rather hang out at home my dog,
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 1: like he's not doing it, like you gotta. So these guys,
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 1: when they're peaking, they're vulnerable. They get sick a lot,
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 1: especially when they're cutting weight, because you're redlining your body
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 1: and you can overdo it, and guys overdo it all
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 1: the time. They overtrain, they just break themselves down when
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 1: they just they haven't they've kept too much pace and
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 1: not enough recovery, and they're declining and declining and decline.
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 1: They show up at the gym, they have no energy.
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 1: They're like fuck. And if you get a guy to
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 1: the fight that's overtrained, it's horrible. It's horrible to watch.
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 1: I've seen it many times. The guys just can't recover.
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 1: They're too tired. They overdid it, they were too tough
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 1: for their own good. So one of those guys got COVID.
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 1: This guy Hamsa Chamaya and this motherfucker a psychopath. He's
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 1: a savage, like one of the most savage guys that's
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 1: ever fought in the sport. And he just kept training,
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 1: just kept training, and he did this. Motherfucker trains like
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 1: eight hours a day. He trains like a wolverine. He's
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 1: an animal. And he was training with COVID and he
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 1: kept getting real sick, wound up, getting hospitalized, coughing up, blood,
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 1: gets out, goes right back to it, same thing, hospitalized again.
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 1: He got hospitalized like twice because he wouldn't stop training
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 1: because he's that psychotic. But other than him, regular athletes,
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 1: they get it. They just take a few days off, right.
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 1: Daniel Cormier had COVID, trained through it and won the title,
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 1: won the heavyweight title training through COVID in his camp.
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 1: He was sick during camp and kept training and everybody
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 1: was like, let's just keep.
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 2: It and get off the couch the whole time I
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 2: had COVID.
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 1: So just imagine those level of athletes and we're worried
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 1: about it so much that everybody has to wear a mask, like,
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 1: shut the f up, this is nuts. So all that
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 1: had to happen too where we were the reckless ones,
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 1: We were the ones that like, I don't I'm not
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 1: buying this. I'm going to live my life. I'm going
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 1: to Texas. And there was a lot of people that
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 1: were really mad at They're like, what are you doing?
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 1: You're not scared? What are you doing? You're doing shows in.
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 2: Doors, You're killing people.
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 1: Blood is on your hands. The mess of people that
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 1: were just all caught up in this syop, they were
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 1: just the you know, and it was great, not good really,
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 1: but it was great in that it exposed these fragile thinkers,
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 1: so many fragile mines. They couldn't couldn't see the forest
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 1: for the trees. They just they couldn't see it. And
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 1: when we all came out here and we said, we
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 1: see it, like this is bullshit. Yeah, yeah, it'll make
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 1: you sick. Yeah, you'll have to be at home for
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 1: a week. Yeah, get get vitamin dribs. You'll be all right, Like, yeah,
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 1: this is what we're dealing with for real. And a
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 1: lot of people agreed. And then it turns out we
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 1: were right. It turns out we were right. At the
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 1: end of the day. We were correct. We were correct
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 1: to want to live our lives. We all went back
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 1: to livinghood too soon, says, who says who the fucking
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 1: government that's been lying to you about this disease?
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 2: Back on it and and and realize it. Then it happened,
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 2: You know that it really fucking happened, that we were
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 2: locked up, locked down.
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 1: It's not good because it's it's like when you find
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 1: out your friend's a bitch and then you have to
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 1: count on them again in the future. You're like, dude,
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 1: don't fall apart on me here right, show up, Like,
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 1: don't get scared. You need I need help. You find
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 1: out your friend falls apart under pressure, You're like, oh great,
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 1: why are you crying? Mike? What are we doing? Don't cry?
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 1: This is crazy, Liken. Count on Mike because Mike falls
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 1: apart when chick gets hot. And this is how it feels.
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 1: Feels like a good percentage of the country. You know,
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 1: a joke from my last special, but I really feel
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 1: this way. We lost a lot of people during COVID,
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 1: and most of them are still alive. That I've wrote
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 1: that line thinking about specific friends, it's like, what did
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 1: you think was going on? What did you think was
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 1: going on? Yeah, it's a disease, but since when have
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 1: you changed your entire fucking life for years for a disease.
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 1: This is nuts, since one of you listened to the
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 1: entire government tell you can't have outdoor dining because of
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 1: a disease, like a disease you've already had, You've already
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 1: gotten through it, and this they're still telling you this.
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 1: And we're a year and a half into this fucking thing.
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 1: And so we were right, and so so many people
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 1: because we were right, so many people also came. And
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 1: that's the beautiful thing. It's like people speak with their actions,
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 1: and the people that are wheeling to make a leap
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 1: like that, those are the ones you want there. Those
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 1: are the ones like, we got the best of the best,
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 1: we got the most fuck you of the fuck you people.
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 1: Those comedians are fuck you people. They are something happens
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 1: in society like hey man, fuck you.
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 2: Right, you know? Or eat a Steamen bola fuck.
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 1: Eat a Stephen bowl the fuck no matter what it is,
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 1: you know. And uh, the world needs that. I need that,
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 1: I need that, I need you here, I need Tony,
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 1: I need I need people like that the same way
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 1: that you did. So we all sort of collectively manifested
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 1: it together. But without you, we wouldn't be here.
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so you guys come on down to Austin, Texas
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 2: and check out the mother Ship and see how much
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 2: fun we're having. If you don't believe it, if you like,
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 2: we're making this ship up because of you.
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 1: I also almost bought the cult house.
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah right, that would have been you know what made
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 2: it happen. People say, yeah he did. That would have
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 2: been horrible. It wouldn't have been horrible.
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 1: It would have been amazing because it was a cool place.
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 2: And I, you know, I it was.
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 1: It would have been amazing.
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 2: It would have been amazing.
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 1: It would have been amazing. It's an amazing spot, and
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 1: it's hilarious that a cult used to own. I feel
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 1: terrible for all the people that were roped into building
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 1: it and all the people that got butt.
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 2: You were doing that piece that was so funny and
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 2: you quit doing it. You didn't do that in your
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 2: special No, I didn't know that was so funny.
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a true story.
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 2: I remember I gave you that line that it's okay
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 2: to hypnotize people and butt fuck them because it's the
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 2: falls under the category of I talked him into it.
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's basically the same thing that's.
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 2: Not illegal at all. I talked to the guy and
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 2: to let me fuck him in the ass. It's kind
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 2: of technically not illegal with a watch going back and forth.
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 2: That's not illegal, that's not direct.
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 1: The guy was a hypnotist and a gay porn star,
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 1: like what a combo? Right, and then when they found
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 1: the gay porn like the do you watch the documentary? Right?
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 1: The documentary is incredible, but Ron for the people at all,
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 1: Ron had performed at this So you performed at that, Budge,
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 1: how fucking love that theater? You should buy that place?
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 1: And then it was for sales like, oh, we're in right,
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 1: and then Adam Egot is what he goes? Have you
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 1: seen that documentary? It's on that cult. I'm like, oh no,
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 1: oh no, Ron White, what have you done? What have
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 1: you done? I watched The Doctor Men.
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 2: And I don't think I even realized at that time
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 2: that that's what that building was. I don't think I
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 2: knew that it was a cult. Yeah building. Whenever I
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 2: first took it.
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 1: Maybe seen the videos of the guy dancing around.
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 2: That was years ago, I mean years and years ago.
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 2: So I knew about that anyway, but I didn't realize
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 2: that that was the building, or.
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 1: Maybe maybe those are the same people wearing masks in
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 1: their cars. You know what I'm saying. It's like that's
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 1: why you can start a cult. If you just get
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 1: everybody who wears a mask in their car, you could
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 1: rope those motherfuckers and doing almost anything. And that's how
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 1: cults get started.
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, No, people are looking looking for leadership. Well
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 2: they're also looking for you're really dumb, Like.
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 1: Think about the positive aspects of the mothership, right, like
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 1: we're all having a good time with this what everybody
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 1: really wants. But what if the only way you can
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 1: get that is to believe Baba kanesh over. There's like
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 1: who changed his name and now he wears wooden beads
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 1: and he sits in the lotus position, and everybody's got
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 1: to suck his dick, Like I just wanted to do
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 1: yoga and hang out with everybody. Why I gotta suck
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 1: this guy's dick? This is they kept.
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 2: Sucking his dick, and you know what, they're sucking his
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 2: dick somewhere else now in Hawaii. Still get his dick sucked.
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 1: Some guys are just really good at at like suck.
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 1: It's like the thing where you need to be on
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 1: acid to understand the grateful dead. It's like you need
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 1: to be at the special frame of mind with a
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 1: special nine voult brain where you can get talked into
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 1: a cult like that.
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 2: But it happens every day, every day, every.
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 1: Day, every day, all throughout the country. You know, I
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 1: was talking to Marc Andreessen about this venture capitalist guys,
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 1: brilliant guy, and he was telling me that there's a
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 1: ton of active cults right now in California. Oh yeah,
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 1: that are functioning. Like you only hear about the ones
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 1: that wind up getting in shootouts with the Feds. There's
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 1: a bunch of them that actually function somehow or another.
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 1: They keep it together. You know, people leave, they tell
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 1: the horror stories, and some people join.
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 1: But like Wild Wild Country is a great example that
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 1: Netflix documentary. Yeah, the crazy thing is in the beginning,
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 1: it looks so fun.
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it looked completely fucking doable, so doable, and our
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 2: leaders got really nice fucking cars. Look, yeah, can he
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 2: be wrong?
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 1: He can't be wrong. He's had twenty rolls Royces. There's
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 1: so many of them. It's it's like, whatever the way
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 1: that we evolved in tribal society to listen to the chief.
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 1: We all have this like strange desire to either be
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 1: the chief or listen to the chief. Sure, you know,
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 1: either be the alpha or listen to the alpha. And
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 1: someone can pretend to be the chief and they can
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 1: partend to be the chief with magical insight. And you
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 1: know what, the most fucked up thing about that documentary
• 1:54:59
  Speaker 1: is thing that still fucks with my head is that
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 1: that guy would do these things, this thing to these
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 1: people called the Knowing, where he would and they would
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 1: orgas them, they would just have like they literally meet God.
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 1: To this day, they all say that it was real
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 1: that that thing actually did happen, like the power of suggestion,
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 1: the fact that he kept it from them for so long,
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 1: and then the one day or this is your coming
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 1: of age ceremony, this is the one day you're going
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 1: to get the Knowing, and he would put his hands
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 1: on them and they would really experience something, and they
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 1: said it was like they were they were experiencing God
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 1: like they it was the most bliss they had ever
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 1: felt in their life, and that they never felt it again.
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 1: So there the circumstances and the ritual activated this innate
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 1: part of our consciousness that's always there. This ability to
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 1: talk to God, the ability to communicate with God, which
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 1: is probably whatever religion is trying to do. It's all
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 1: like this whisper of the truth that's out there in
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 1: the ether, and everybody knows that it's out there. There's
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 1: something there. I just have to figure out how to
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 1: And this guy's crazy gay porn star hypnotist butt fucking
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 1: all these dudes. Still, even this guy was able to
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 1: touch these people and they were able to access that
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 1: part of their brain and they were in. They were in.
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 1: They were like, oh we're in, man, I'm following this
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 1: guy everywhere. This guy really is like connected to God.
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, I I think that that that prayer
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 2: I storry with that just with prayer is a physical thing,
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 2: not a spiritual thing. And that's why it works for anybody.
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 2: You know. I believe it's a way to channel energy
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 2: and it changes the way you feel. But it doesn't
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 2: matter what you're praying too. That it's a physical transfers
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 2: of injury, right, not a spiritual thing. And because anybody
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 2: can do it. And also hypnosis is so powerful when
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 2: it's done correctly. And I know that because I've experienced
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 2: hypnosis done well, and so boy, if you had both
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 2: of those things, you know, you could have power over
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 2: anybody that's stupid enough.
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the problem. That was what they did during
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 1: the Manson family mk ultra during those days. This part
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 1: of the Chaos book by Tom O'Neill, it's about the
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 1: Manson family, excuse me, the Manson family murders. And one
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 1: of the things that they went into is the fact
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 1: that this guy who worked for the CIA at the
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 1: time was part of mk ULTU. His name is Jolly West,
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 1: and Jolly West is this figure all throughout the counterculture
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 1: resistance movement that the federal government had sort of concocted,
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 1: and part of what he was doing was teaching people
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 1: how to manipulate people with LSD and he was teaching
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 1: Charlie Mannon and in jail, like this guy visited Manson
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 1: in jail. Then Manson would get out of jail, and
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 1: Manson would get in trouble, get arrested, and then get
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 1: released and the sheriffs all say, it's over my pay grade.
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 1: They were all told to let him go. And so
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 1: he was implicated in murders and violent crimes and they
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 1: all always let him go. They always had to let
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 1: him go, and he was getting acid, and he had
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 1: sophisticated methods of manipulating minds. It wasn't as simple as like,
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 1: this is a charismatic dude and they all want to
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 1: cut a baby out of fucking Sharon Tate's stomach. No,
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 1: it was way crazier than that. It was sophisticated mind
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 1: control from MK Ultra, and they wanted to see if
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 1: they could get people to become homicidal maniacs. And they
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 1: were right, they could. They knew how to do it,
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 1: they used it, and they got Manson to do it,
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 1: and it threw water on this whole anti war hippie movement,
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 1: all that peace love shit whosh. Now hippies are murderers.
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 1: Now hippies are Charles Manson. Now you know you're kid
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 1: wants to just like fucking paint flowers and show up
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 1: in grateful dead shows. Now your kid's a murderer. Your
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 1: kids are fucking all the hippies are suspects. Now it worked.
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 1: It was a fascinating thing they did, Like the way
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 1: they threw water on this movement that was happening like
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy there's just threw it down and put
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 1: schedule one on everything. If the Nixon administration hadn't done
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 1: that in nineteen seventy, who knows what the world looks
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 1: like today, Like who knows? Who knows if you can
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 1: get iebgain in ayahuasca in America? If psilocybin had stayed legal,
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 1: it was made illegal in nineteen seventy, all that stuff
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 1: seventy Yep, all that stuff became scheduled one in nineteen seventy.
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 1: Marijuana was always illegal. It was illegal from like the
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 1: nineteen thirties, and that was because it was a textile,
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 1: and that was because it was a commodity. It had
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 1: almost no thing to do with the drug itself. They
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 1: were trying to outlaw hemp. They were worried because they
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 1: had come out with a new way to process hemp fiber.
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 1: It's called a decordicator. They invented this thing. Is big
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 1: thing Popular Science magazine. Hemp the new billion dollar crop.
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 1: It was like they were saying, we're all gonna use
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 1: hemp now because now there's an effective way to process
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 1: the fibers, and they're superior to everything else. Makes superior paper,
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 1: superior cloth, superior everything, every much much much much better plant,
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 1: and William randolf First was like fuck that. So William
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 1: randoff Hurst starts publishing stories in his newspapers about how
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 1: Blacks and Mexicans are taking this new drug called marijuana.
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 1: They invented the name. It was a wild Mexican tobacco.
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 1: That's what marijuana used to be. It was slang for
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 1: a wild Mexican tobacco. So they put that name on cannabis,
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 1: something that people had had forever. People have been smoking
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 1: it forever. It was literally the origin of the term canvas.
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 2: Comes from cannabis.
• 2:01:05
  Speaker 1: Yes, it's all hemp. Well, if you go like the
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 1: Mona Lisa, those are all painted on hemp. The first
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 1: draft of the Declaration of Independence was written on hemp.
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 1: Hemp was a far superior paper. It's really difficult to tear.
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 1: It's a crazy fiber.
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 2: Hey, can we put this on pause a second?
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 1: H you get a piss?
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 2: Can we put it on pasporus second?
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Okay, So ladies and gentlemen, Ron White had a
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 1: moment there where the cold came back, the sickness came back,
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 1: and yeah.
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a moment. That was a moment. I
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 2: don't know what that was well, I.
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 1: Was over here blimbing about the illegalization of weed and
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 1: how crazy it is, and we were talking about ayahuasca
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 1: and all these things, and all of a sudden, you
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 1: just got a little pale.
• 2:01:51

  Speaker 1: I do need to go down to Costa Rica.
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 2: That stay in your neighbor's place. It's the sweetest thing
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 2: that I've ever seen. Yeah, my big pet peeve is
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 2: when people say it's the best thing you've ever seen,
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 2: Like the best thing you've ever seen. But I've seen
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 2: some ship, you.
• 2:03:12
  Speaker 1: Know, some ship exactly, like what are you saying? I've
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 1: seen so many things.
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 2: But but that place down there that you know that
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 2: it's another drift wood or like you know, kind of
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 2: like drifting.
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it is fucking gorgeous. I heard that drift
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 1: wood place is amazing place out here.
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 2: It's the best, man, It's so pretty right now because
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 2: all the you know, they blow in a bunch of
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 2: wildflowers all over it, and it's just fucking gorgeous. It's
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 2: a great golf course.
• 2:03:39
  Speaker 1: I almost wish I played golf.
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 2: It's a waste of time and money you don't have.
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 2: You don't, I know, you don't have time.
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I would love it, I'm sure. But so
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 1: we should probably wrap us up because you're not feeling
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 1: that good?
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 2: Right, I feel a little better, right, Yeah, I'm a little.
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 1: Bit yeah, all right, Well it's a it's just uh,
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 1: when swing gets sick like that, you don't know what
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 1: to do, Like.
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 2: Fuck, yeah, I don't know what to do, but I
• 2:04:10
  Speaker 2: swear I feel better. I feel I don't feel hot anymore.
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 2: And it's so weird, so weird, like what is that
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 2: soon as you get something out of my stomach real quick,
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 2: I think crazy the quickest way to do it.
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 1: It's just crazy that something's been like you know, you
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 1: have a little invader in your body. Yeah, you're fighting off.
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 1: That's what we're doing all the time, fighting off these invaders.
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm still coming to the club tonight. I'm gonna
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna get a drip and come do a set.
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 1: Of course, it would be fun tonight. It's Cam Patterson
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 1: show tonight.
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 2: Oh good good mm hmm.
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 1: What's an exciting time?
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 2: Really is?
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 1: And the world is so chaotic right now, which is
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 1: great for comedy. Whenever the world's fucked up, the comedy
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 1: is its best. Gaza palest On, Ah, it's fucking Ukraine
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 1: and the tariffs lie. It's great to come out and
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 1: do some comedy.
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm you know what I say, and I stay away.
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 2: I stay away from all of it good and of
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 2: that subject matter, any politics or anything like that. And
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 2: the reason is, uh, you know, I know my I
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 2: know my crowd. I know what they want and and
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 2: they want to laugh really hard and they want to
• 2:05:25
  Speaker 2: and and I think that I've always taken the position
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 2: is I'm just not going to bring that into it.
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna let us do something else. And I love
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 2: it when other people do that are really good at it,
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 2: and you know that it's fun to watch and it's
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 2: entertaining as fuck. But I just decided a long time
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 2: ago that I'm just gonna I'm just gonna go out
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 2: there and make them laugh as hard as I can
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 2: make them laugh and let them have some time off
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 2: from tragedy or whatever, and and and and I'm not
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 2: that good at it anyway. So you know it's I've
• 2:05:54
  Speaker 2: never been a political commentator, right, so why be one now?
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 2: And and uh, well, the.
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 1: Problem with politics is you're gonna alienate the crowd.
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 2: Dead split, yeah, dead split.
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 1: And if you're one of those people that takes a
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 1: stand on stage like okay, great, right, now you take
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 1: it a stand okay, but just just let's let's have fun.
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 1: It's silly unless what you have to say is so
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 1: good that you can make someone loud.
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, if you're good enough, If you're good enough, you know.
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 2: I saw people try to, you know, take on nine
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 2: to eleven, right after nine to eleven, but I only
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 2: saw like one person that was really, if you're good
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 2: enough to write about that, then write about it. But
• 2:06:35
  Speaker 2: if you're not good enough to write about it, leave
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 2: it the fuck alone.
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 1: Leave it the fuck alone. That's some black belt material.
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to scale level whatever.
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, Mitzi sure wouldn't let Brian Holtzman on
• 2:06:45
  Speaker 1: stage for two weeks after nine eleven.
• 2:06:47
  Speaker 2: No, I didn't know that.
• 2:06:51
  Speaker 1: She's like, no way, keep him off the stage. The
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 1: Holtzmann couldn't wait, couldn't wait to say something fucking completely outraged.
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 1: Whatever that demon inside of him that comes out when
• 2:07:04
  Speaker 1: he's on stage.
• 2:07:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't understand him, you know, I really don't
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 2: think I love him. I love him to death, but
• 2:07:10
  Speaker 2: he's such an original character.
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 1: And the most he's from a different time. It's like
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 1: he was brought here from another dimension. He's like a
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 1: different thing. Even the way he dresses. It's like he's
• 2:07:19
  Speaker 1: from the fifties, right, and he's like my age, Like
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 1: he's not. He was like that when I met him.
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 1: He was from a different era. When I met him
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 1: in ninety four, I was like, yeah, I'm like, where
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 1: is this fucking guy from from a different time?
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 2: People fucking love him though, Man, they kind of crowd now, yeah,
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 2: he does.
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 1: That's the difference between the way he was treated at
• 2:07:42
  Speaker 1: the store. Unfortunately he fell into this and through nobody's fault.
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 1: But it was like everybody waited till the end when
• 2:07:50
  Speaker 1: Holtsman go up, But like why have him on the end?
• 2:07:53
  Speaker 1: You know, it's like have him on when the crowd's hot, right, Like,
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 1: don't put him on at one in the morning, put
• 2:07:58
  Speaker 1: him on at ten. You know, let's see when the
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 1: crowd is like popping, Like let him let him cook
• 2:08:04
  Speaker 1: when the crowd's popping, you know. And now he sells out.
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 1: People come to see him in the headlines. It's like
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 1: people get excited. You know, he's a maniac and he's
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 1: got a crowd. Now he's got like a legitimate draw.
• 2:08:16
  Speaker 2: They get it, Yeah, they get it.
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's nice, it's fun and you know, that's also
• 2:08:22
  Speaker 1: the difference between when a comedy club is run by
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 1: a comic, you know, because Holtzman has always been a comic.
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 1: Four comics. You know, we all would go to see
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 1: Holtzman at the end of the night when he was
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 1: doing these insane sets for fifteen people in the main room. Right,
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 1: But now like we're running the shows, like, give him
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 1: a fucking weekend. Let's let's go, give him a Thursday night.
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 1: Let's go. Let's have some fun, especially as yeah, especially
• 2:08:48
  Speaker 1: ten pm shows. That's the best time to see him.
• 2:08:51
  Speaker 1: When it's late, You've had a couple of cocktails, right,
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 1: you feel a little crazy about the world. Let that guy, Let.
• 2:08:59
  Speaker 2: That guy you understand as you joke.
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you get jokes. You get someone saying something that
• 2:09:05
  Speaker 1: he doesn't really mean. It's completely ridiculous to say, yeah,
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 1: that's part of the fun.
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and then he acts like he means it
• 2:09:12
  Speaker 2: and you buy into it. Now he's a joke still.
• 2:09:15
  Speaker 1: But every now and then he'll show you behind the curtain. Yeah,
• 2:09:19
  Speaker 1: every now and then to give you a little peek,
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 1: and you're like, okay, yeah, this is an act. He's
• 2:09:23
  Speaker 1: having fun.
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 2: He is, he's having a good time and he loves
• 2:09:26
  Speaker 2: Austin too. I see him walking around downtown and most
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 2: every time I drive through the city's.
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a big get getting him here. It
• 2:09:34
  Speaker 1: was a big get because we wanted to bring a
• 2:09:36
  Speaker 1: lot of the There was some magic that was trapped
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 1: in the talent of the Comedy Store. It was magic
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 1: and some of it wasn't being utilized correctly. And Holtzman's
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 1: the best example of that.
• 2:09:47
  Speaker 2: But what a fun hang it was, you know what
• 2:09:49
  Speaker 2: a fun hang? Yeah it was. It was great.
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 1: I had some of my favorite times in my life
• 2:09:53
  Speaker 1: in that backbar. Yeah, just laughing, just laughing. We would
• 2:09:57
  Speaker 1: be back there just laughing. That was a great thing
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 1: the Comedy Store did when they put together that bar
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 1: that it had. Mitzi's actual bar from her house was
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 1: the bar there.
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that.
• 2:10:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that bar didn't used to be there, like so
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 1: the early days that was like a storage room and
• 2:10:13
  Speaker 1: so at one point in time in the store was
• 2:10:15
  Speaker 1: like really killing it. They decided like we should turn
• 2:10:18
  Speaker 1: this into a bar. And I don't know what year
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 1: was that. I want to feel like. I feel like
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 1: that was like two fourteen ish, like, which is right
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 1: when I came back and the stor was killing it
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 1: and we all were like, oh, yeah, we'll have our
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 1: own bar. This is incredible. And you had to go
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 1: through the kitchen to get through it like a scene
• 2:10:37
  Speaker 1: from Goodfellas, right, and you get back there, and you
• 2:10:40
  Speaker 1: could only be back there if you were cool like you.
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 1: You couldn't buy a ticket.
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 2: It was police.
• 2:10:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, you had to have a friend, you had
• 2:10:49
  Speaker 1: to know somebody to get back there. But we would
• 2:10:52
  Speaker 1: be hanging with some of the coolest people in the world.
• 2:10:54
  Speaker 2: That was my favorite place of drink.
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, it was so fun. They'd be a musician back there.
• 2:11:02
  Speaker 1: Everybody was just chilling the drinks for free. It was crazy.
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 1: It was like it was so fun. The store was
• 2:11:09
  Speaker 1: a magical place, man, a magical place. And there's something
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 1: about the fact that you know it had this insane
• 2:11:17
  Speaker 1: history to it that you felt like, Wow, I can't
• 2:11:20
  Speaker 1: believe I'm even here.
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 2: Right standing on the stage, same last stage as Prior
• 2:11:25
  Speaker 2: and Kennison.
• 2:11:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you just you're in the belly of the
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 1: beast on sunset in Hollywood, like right in the middle
• 2:11:34
  Speaker 1: of everything, right in the middle of everything where everybody.
• 2:11:38
  Speaker 1: I remember when I was a kid in nineteen eighty eight,
• 2:11:41
  Speaker 1: when I first started doing stand up, they would talk
• 2:11:43
  Speaker 1: about the Comedy Store like it was Mecca, right, you
• 2:11:45
  Speaker 1: had to make your pilgrimage to the store. And some
• 2:11:48
  Speaker 1: guys would say they went there, but they bombed. Oh.
• 2:11:51
  Speaker 1: I went back there trying to do some meetings I did.
• 2:11:53
  Speaker 1: I set at the store. I bombed at fuck that place.
• 2:11:55
  Speaker 2: Like, yeah, my first trip out to you know, I
• 2:12:01
  Speaker 2: was trying to get on at the improv. I couldn't
• 2:12:03
  Speaker 2: get on, and I was like, ah, man, I went
• 2:12:05
  Speaker 2: to the Comedy Store and I told him my story.
• 2:12:08
  Speaker 2: It was Monday night and they put me up first,
• 2:12:11
  Speaker 2: which wasn't a really good spot, and I ate it.
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 2: And but they did put me on stage. Yeah, well
• 2:12:18
  Speaker 2: there it is right there. There about ten people in
• 2:12:21
  Speaker 2: there or whatever. Nobody but and it was a horrible experience.
• 2:12:25
  Speaker 2: But but I but I always looked back at it finally,
• 2:12:28
  Speaker 2: you know, because they did it. Yeah, they said, yeah,
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 2: go get on stage.
• 2:12:32
  Speaker 1: And the first time I ever came out to the store,
• 2:12:34
  Speaker 1: I was out and I was out in LA to
• 2:12:37
  Speaker 1: do some pilot thing for MTV, and I was staying
• 2:12:41
  Speaker 1: at a hotel and I knew who the store was
• 2:12:43
  Speaker 1: I was like, I got to get there. I just
• 2:12:45
  Speaker 1: got to see what it's like. And they let me
• 2:12:48
  Speaker 1: in because I was I said, hey, I'm a comedian
• 2:12:50
  Speaker 1: from New York. Can I just come in and watch
• 2:12:52
  Speaker 1: the show? And they're like yeah, sure. They just let
• 2:12:54
  Speaker 1: me right out. And then I sat in the back
• 2:12:56
  Speaker 1: of the room. There's like nineteen people in there, and
• 2:12:58
  Speaker 1: they were all like the comics that were on say
• 2:13:00
  Speaker 1: were terrible. They were all like boat acts. They're like
• 2:13:03
  Speaker 1: people that And then I realized years later that what
• 2:13:07
  Speaker 1: had happened was a lot of these scenes. They go
• 2:13:11
  Speaker 1: in these peaks and valleys, and I had caught it
• 2:13:14
  Speaker 1: when it was out of valley and before it was
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 1: at a peak like the Kennison years. It was a
• 2:13:19
  Speaker 1: giant peak when people had come to it was the
• 2:13:22
  Speaker 1: wild place. Kennison were there. They all come at midnight
• 2:13:25
  Speaker 1: and watch him and celebrities. He'd be all there, and
• 2:13:28
  Speaker 1: he had died in like ninety two, I think, and
• 2:13:32
  Speaker 1: I got there in ninety four. So there's like there
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 1: was this like absence, right there was a real lull.
• 2:13:39
  Speaker 1: There wasn't There's a lot of like leftovers people that
• 2:13:43
  Speaker 1: didn't that were in the eighties that didn't make it right.
• 2:13:45
  Speaker 1: But they were still around. They're still doing stand up
• 2:13:47
  Speaker 1: and hoping that something was gonna happen. But they had
• 2:13:49
  Speaker 1: tired acts. They were just tired. It hadn't happened for them.
• 2:13:53
  Speaker 1: They were out there doing pilot season. They didn't want
• 2:13:56
  Speaker 1: to be at the store because they're at the store.
• 2:13:57
  Speaker 1: There's no no agent, there's no executive. No one comes
• 2:14:01
  Speaker 1: to see at the store. At that time, they would
• 2:14:03
  Speaker 1: go to the improv go to the laugh factory. That's
• 2:14:06
  Speaker 1: where the industry was. So if you really wanted to
• 2:14:08
  Speaker 1: have an actual career, you wouldn't be doing sets at
• 2:14:10
  Speaker 1: the store.
• 2:14:12
  Speaker 2: Insty had to do sets in front of Bud Freeman
• 2:14:14
  Speaker 2: going language, watch your language.
• 2:14:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of that back then, right the
• 2:14:23
  Speaker 1: TV days. Everybody thought you had to be clean.
• 2:14:25
  Speaker 2: You know. When I came back to the store, it
• 2:14:28
  Speaker 2: was in its heyday. You know, you were, you know,
• 2:14:31
  Speaker 2: running the podcast, and you know, the fucking place was
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 2: back to the rafters and the comics were solid as fuck.
• 2:14:38
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 2:14:39
  Speaker 1: Uh, we had a magical run.
• 2:14:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it was a magical run, and we're having
• 2:14:45
  Speaker 2: one now.
• 2:14:45
  Speaker 1: So it's the same thing. I mean, it's basically but
• 2:14:49
  Speaker 1: it's our version of it, the new version of it,
• 2:14:51
  Speaker 1: but it's the same thing. It's just like it's a
• 2:14:54
  Speaker 1: beautiful thing. When I mean that term artist is very pretentious.
• 2:14:59
  Speaker 1: So just say, realize that we're all doing this thing
• 2:15:02
  Speaker 1: together and there's not a lot of us, and it's
• 2:15:04
  Speaker 1: fun to hang out together and enjoy each other's company
• 2:15:06
  Speaker 1: and appreciate each other and appreciate the ride. We're all
• 2:15:10
  Speaker 1: in this wild ride together.
• 2:15:11
  Speaker 2: That's right. And it is quite a ride. It's a
• 2:15:13
  Speaker 2: beautiful ride, quite a ride.
• 2:15:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're very lucky, Ron White and I say it
• 2:15:18
  Speaker 1: all the time, but it's true. You're you're patient zero.
• 2:15:22
  Speaker 2: All right, man, I'll take the title.
• 2:15:24
  Speaker 1: I'll take the title you really patient zero because you
• 2:15:26
  Speaker 1: just threw up. Imagine if you have some fucking new
• 2:15:28
  Speaker 1: COVID picked up some new COVID in Vegas that kills us.
• 2:15:31
  Speaker 1: All Yeah, I love you to death, brother, Thanks
• 2:15:35
  Speaker 2: For having now, Goodbye you
