- 0:58Speaker 1: What's been happening? Oh, this, I, um, good day. First
- 1:02Speaker 1: of all, let me say that to you. And this
- 1:04Speaker 1: is the day that we have been given. And, um, yeah,
- 1:11Speaker 1: and I'm happy to be here and alive with you
- 1:13Speaker 1: today on planet Earth at this time in existence. And
- 1:17Speaker 1: here we are. Um, what is going on? I'll tell, Oh, this,
- 1:23Speaker 1: I fricking, um, I'm in Los Angeles, right. And I
- 1:27Speaker 1: forgot that I have a, uh, Jeep Cherokee out here. And, um,
- 1:33Speaker 1: it's probably maybe six, seven years old or something. And
- 1:39Speaker 1: I forgot that, um, I wasn't driving my car at home, right.
- 1:45Speaker 1: In Nashville. So the other day I thought my car
- 1:48Speaker 1: got stolen. So I call the, um, police or whatever, or,
- 1:53Speaker 1: you know, yes, the authorities, they come, the guy, we're standing,
- 1:59Speaker 1: I'm like telling him, describing, uh, my car, which is
- 2:03Speaker 1: a cyber truck. And I know that's alarming and it
- 2:06Speaker 1: makes a lot of people sad and that's okay. Um,
- 2:08Speaker 1: but I'm describing, and it is, it's a, it's very, it's,
- 2:13Speaker 1: it's like driving like a, um, molar filling, For the
- 2:18Speaker 1: Statue of Liberty, you just feel like you're driving this
- 2:20Speaker 1: huge molar filling for some gigantic thing. But anyway, besides
- 2:26Speaker 1: all that, I call the police. I'm telling the guy,
- 2:31Speaker 1: took a while, waited probably 40 minutes. I'm telling the officer,
- 2:34Speaker 1: explaining the vehicle and stuff. And I reach in my pants.
- 2:40Speaker 1: I have car keys, right? I have car keys. And
- 2:42Speaker 1: the guy, and I said, well, these are the keys
- 2:46Speaker 1: to it. And I gave them to him. And he
- 2:48Speaker 1: presses the button and the fucking... Dude, the car was
- 2:55Speaker 1: like fucking five cars away. I thought that I had...
- 3:02Speaker 1: I was driving my Cybertruck. I just forgot. I thought
- 3:04Speaker 1: I was driving my truck and I just... I forgot
- 3:07Speaker 1: because I just hadn't been in Los Angeles in so
- 3:09Speaker 1: long and I just forgot that I was driving this Cherokee,
- 3:15Speaker 1: the Jeep. So... the Jeep, like I'm a multi-car owner, but, um, anyway,
- 3:21Speaker 1: absolutely embarrassing and just ridiculous. And just, you know, I
- 3:27Speaker 1: was like, I was to describe the vehicle to him,
- 3:31Speaker 1: you know, and describe the vehicle. And first of all,
- 3:35Speaker 1: when you're describing a cyber truck, you're like, yeah, it
- 3:37Speaker 1: looks like a, uh, if you fucking can't, you know,
- 3:42Speaker 1: it looks like a UFO that couldn't make it, you know,
- 3:45Speaker 1: that's kind of what, you know, it's just very, it's like,
- 3:48Speaker 1: you know, it looks like a, like you're driving a
- 3:51Speaker 1: sand wedge or something. So just that, that alone is,
- 3:56Speaker 1: is bizarre. And then I was like, yeah, I don't
- 3:59Speaker 1: know what happened. I ran inside here for a little
- 4:00Speaker 1: bit and I came out and it was gone. So
- 4:02Speaker 1: I'm telling that, and then I have the keys. And
- 4:04Speaker 1: then I, I think I, that's where my glitch was.
- 4:06Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, and I guess I, I still
- 4:08Speaker 1: have the keys, and I give them to him. He
- 4:10Speaker 1: fucking presses the thing, the keys to my Jeep, and bam,
- 4:16Speaker 1: it's fucking right there. So anyway, whatever. That's where I'm at.
- 4:24Speaker 1: What else? Let's get into it, man. I just got
- 4:26Speaker 1: back from the inauguration in the USA, and I was,
- 4:31Speaker 1: let's play some, let's play, let's lead into it with
- 4:33Speaker 1: a little instrumentals.
- 4:41Speaker 2: U-U-S-A Inauguration Inauguration.
- 5:12Speaker 1: Very beautiful. That's Canon in D major right there. If
- 5:16Speaker 1: you're into that sort of thing. Yeah, I was just,
- 5:22Speaker 1: I took a red eye flight. And so I got
- 5:24Speaker 1: in probably 6.30 in the morning, had to get dressed
- 5:28Speaker 1: in the car and took this suit that I have on,
- 5:33Speaker 1: got dressed in the car, went to, got dropped off
- 5:36Speaker 1: at a hotel, right? And you couldn't, you couldn't go
- 5:40Speaker 1: within like five blocks of the hotel. You had to, there,
- 5:43Speaker 1: you couldn't drive up to it. So got dropped off.
- 5:47Speaker 1: So when it's walking, um, and it's cold, you know,
- 5:50Speaker 1: when you're like, you know, you're hurrying because we had
- 5:52Speaker 1: to get there by a certain time by 8am to
- 5:55Speaker 1: make sure, um, that I could be like legit or whatever.
- 6:01Speaker 1: So I guess, so I'm changing in this thing and
- 6:03Speaker 1: I didn't know the man, the man, the driver of the, um,
- 6:08Speaker 1: car that picked me up. He was a, he was
- 6:11Speaker 1: from a, like a United Nations area or whatever. You
- 6:15Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? He, this guy was a, he,
- 6:19Speaker 1: we probably got him in a trade or something. I
- 6:21Speaker 1: don't know how he got him, but he didn't speak
- 6:25Speaker 1: a lot of English and that's okay. And I didn't
- 6:27Speaker 1: speak a lot of his language. So we just were,
- 6:29Speaker 1: you know, we were different. We were verbally kind of
- 6:34Speaker 1: different people. And so anyway, I'm like, and I've never,
- 6:38Speaker 1: you know, I'd have to change in this car. And
- 6:40Speaker 1: so it's just like, um, yeah, it's weird. First of all,
- 6:45Speaker 1: I had to change down to complete nudity, you know,
- 6:47Speaker 1: down to just, um, you know, just under the Lord's
- 6:51Speaker 1: matte finish. You know what I'm talking about? Maybe that
- 6:53Speaker 1: first layer. And so it was just a lot, you know?
- 6:57Speaker 1: So anyway, that happened. And, um, And so anyway, we
- 7:02Speaker 1: get to, we get like, you can only get within
- 7:04Speaker 1: five blocks of this hotel to where I had to
- 7:07Speaker 1: go check in by 8 a.m. And it was called
- 7:12Speaker 1: Hotel Wilfred, Hotel Wilfred, wrote it down. And it was fancy.
- 7:18Speaker 1: I mean, you go in and there's like a, there's
- 7:22Speaker 1: like a, like somebody has a trumpet or whatever. They're
- 7:25Speaker 1: not even playing it, but they're holding it or whatever,
- 7:28Speaker 1: like a guy standing by the door. And there's some
- 7:31Speaker 1: guy whose job he stands outside. His only job is
- 7:33Speaker 1: to just be cold. He just looks cold. He's like,
- 7:38Speaker 1: you know, it's like a nice place. It's like a
- 7:41Speaker 1: place you would see on Home Alone where he goes,
- 7:43Speaker 1: where Kevin goes. But, yeah, there's a guy out front.
- 7:47Speaker 1: His job is just to get cold for the rich
- 7:49Speaker 1: people inside so they don't have to do that, right?
- 7:51Speaker 1: So he's just outside just being fucking freezing. That guy
- 7:54Speaker 1: was out there, dude. So I go inside, and there's
- 7:58Speaker 1: nice carpet and everything. And this wasn't where I was staying.
- 8:02Speaker 1: This place was probably, I don't even know how much
- 8:04Speaker 1: it was, but they wouldn't, like, it was a lot.
- 8:08Speaker 1: But anyway, everything had carpet, the walls had carpet, the
- 8:11Speaker 1: ceiling had carpet, everything had kind of flooring or whatever, everything. And,
- 8:17Speaker 1: but very fancy, like pictures of like rich, somebody rich
- 8:26Speaker 1: eating something, you know? Like, oh, sirloin or whatever. So anyway,
- 8:33Speaker 1: all that shit. So go in there and ask to
- 8:35Speaker 1: use the restroom. They had a guy like the place
- 8:37Speaker 1: was nice. They had a guy who was just looking
- 8:40Speaker 1: at you, who looked like, do we let this dude
- 8:43Speaker 1: use our toilets type of dude? You know, like kind
- 8:46Speaker 1: of like a shit bouncer or whatever they call it,
- 8:49Speaker 1: you know, just a dude. And he looked at me
- 8:52Speaker 1: and I could tell he was like visually on the fence.
- 8:55Speaker 3: Right.
- 8:55Speaker 1: But then I kind of gave him like a, you know,
- 8:58Speaker 1: I can handle it type of thing, you know, and
- 9:02Speaker 1: then I went in the bathroom. I'm in there changing
- 9:04Speaker 1: or whatever. I'm in there getting my toothbrush, get toothbrush
- 9:10Speaker 1: and put some lotion on my arms and legs.

- 11:24Speaker 1: I don't even know. Let me see. I'd never, I'd
- 11:29Speaker 1: met Evander's one time. Okay. So I'd met Evander. I'll
- 11:33Speaker 1: tell you this story. I met Evander's. So Evander's is, he,
- 11:40Speaker 1: one time I'm at an airport, I think it's Chicago.
- 11:43Speaker 1: And they had a McDaniels right there. And they had
- 11:46Speaker 1: it all. You know what I'm talking about. They got
- 11:48Speaker 1: it all, baby. They got the McDouble, the Whopper, the Nuggets,
- 11:54Speaker 1: the McNuggets. Everything, you know. They got it all. The McFlurry,
- 11:59Speaker 1: you know. The ice cream machines down. Turn it on, Jack!
- 12:05Speaker 1: That bitch ain't broken. Anyway, so one time I'm at
- 12:10Speaker 1: the Chicago airport. I see.
- 12:14Speaker 1: Evander's Holyfield sitting right there. He was at a table
- 12:18Speaker 1: by himself. He had himself, he got himself a medium fry.
- 12:21Speaker 2: Okay.
- 12:22Speaker 1: And I'll, you know, I'm the kind of guy that who,
- 12:27Speaker 1: I guess I'm the kind of guy who, if I'm
- 12:29Speaker 1: walking by and I see Evander's Holyfield eating a medium fry,
- 12:32Speaker 1: I'm going to stop and watch him. You know, and
- 12:36Speaker 1: you don't know you're that type of guy until you're
- 12:40Speaker 1: that type of guy. So I'm walking by. I see
- 12:42Speaker 1: the fry. I see the Holyfield. Bam, brother. You know
- 12:45Speaker 1: what I'm saying? It's the fucking thriller for Vanilla McFlurry.
- 12:49Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? Like, I just had to
- 12:50Speaker 1: watch this. So Evander's is sitting there. He's putting fries
- 12:54Speaker 1: into his mouth. And he'd been over the years. He's
- 12:56Speaker 1: accumulated a lot of punches to his face. Right. And
- 12:59Speaker 1: that's no that's historical facts. So some of the fries,
- 13:03Speaker 1: he wasn't even opening his mouth, right? He was just
- 13:05Speaker 1: pushing them through, just pushing them through the, you know,
- 13:10Speaker 1: that pantomouth canal, baby, that, you know, through his face,
- 13:14Speaker 1: through his mouth, just putting them in. And there was
- 13:17Speaker 1: a girl who had been working at the Cinnabon down
- 13:20Speaker 1: about maybe 70 yards, okay? They had a Cinnabon about
- 13:25Speaker 1: 70 yards down the terminal. And I saw her run up.
- 13:30Speaker 1: I saw her run up. And she stopped right in
- 13:33Speaker 1: front of Evander's, and he's there. He's halfway through the
- 13:37Speaker 1: fourth round of a fucking medium fry. And this girl
- 13:42Speaker 1: runs right up, dude, and you could tell she'd left
- 13:46Speaker 1: the counter unattended. I'm not trying to rat anybody out,
- 13:48Speaker 1: but this was a young sister, and she'd left the
- 13:50Speaker 1: counter unattended, Chicago Airport, probably nine years ago, right? Probably
- 13:57Speaker 1: 7 p.m. She runs down, she points right at Evander
- 14:01Speaker 1: and she says, I used to watch you wrestle. I
- 14:09Speaker 1: used to watch you wrestle. So it just goes to
- 14:14Speaker 1: show you can work your whole life doing something and
- 14:17Speaker 1: somebody just, they don't know. People don't know. They think
- 14:22Speaker 1: you rassle. You could be one of the greatest heavyweights
- 14:25Speaker 1: of all time, and somebody thinks you are Coco Beware, right?
- 14:31Speaker 1: Somebody thinks you should have a bird on your shoulder.
- 14:36Speaker 1: It is what it is. No shade to any of
- 14:38Speaker 1: those men. So anyway, that's the group, dude. So now
- 14:42Speaker 1: I'm getting on. So you had to go outside. I
- 14:46Speaker 1: asked the people at the front desk of the Willard Hotel. Nice, bro.
- 14:50Speaker 1: Them bitches, damn. Like, it was old, too. Like, they
- 14:54Speaker 1: had ghosts, I bet. And even the ghosts would have
- 14:56Speaker 1: a fucking wallet on them. That's how rich people, they,
- 15:00Speaker 1: you see a ghost in there and he'd be, you know,
- 15:04Speaker 1: he'd be like, ooh, I'm rich, motherfucker. He wasn't even
- 15:11Speaker 1: scaring people. He's like, that's from fucking poor ghosts, homie.
- 15:15Speaker 1: He was at the strip club, dude, you know? Okay,
- 15:21Speaker 1: so we get to the back of the bus. We
- 15:23Speaker 1: sit down. Oh, so as we're going to get outside
- 15:27Speaker 1: to get onto the bus, that's like leaving the hotel.
- 15:31Speaker 1: We go out of the area. Now they have like
- 15:34Speaker 1: Secret Service and everything is very show your ID. Like
- 15:38Speaker 1: every 30 feet, you're showing your ID to somebody, letting
- 15:41Speaker 1: somebody look at you, look at you. You know, some
- 15:44Speaker 1: people touching your glands, the sides of your neck or whatever.
- 15:49Speaker 1: Somebody's f * * * ing, you know, somebody's asking
- 15:51Speaker 1: you who your mother is, you know, that kind of shit. So, yeah,
- 15:55Speaker 1: there's just somebody like every 30 feet you're clocking in
- 15:58Speaker 1: with somebody. Every 30 feet you're showing your credentials, showing
- 16:01Speaker 1: that wristband, arm. neck brace, everything. They had all kinds
- 16:06Speaker 1: of wrist brace, neck brace, back brace, everything they had,
- 16:09Speaker 1: arm band, neck band, fucking, they had so many things
- 16:12Speaker 1: you had to show to get, keep going, to keep
- 16:15Speaker 1: moving on. So get on the bus. It's a full bus. Uh,
- 16:19Speaker 1: there was a young lady and her husband right in
- 16:21Speaker 1: front of me who were from Louisiana. That was really cool. Um,

- 20:05Speaker 1: It's euros or minus buddy. We're going to figure it out.
- 20:09Speaker 1: But anyway, so that's how he rolled up a lot
- 20:11Speaker 1: of electricity. But even just, dude, he knew my name,
- 20:15Speaker 1: said something nice. So I was like, you know, I
- 20:19Speaker 1: was very just, you know, I was like, holy shit, dude.
- 20:24Speaker 1: So then we get on the bus, right? So I'm
- 20:28Speaker 1: sitting next to Danica Patrick, okay? We're sitting in front
- 20:32Speaker 1: of Evander Holyfield, dude. You know, and people used to
- 20:38Speaker 1: watch him wrestle. And he is a legend. We're on
- 20:42Speaker 1: this bus. And then John Shahidi, Kyle from NELC, and
- 20:46Speaker 1: Kyle Faragard. Faragard? Faragard. I'm not sure. Is it Faragard? Faragard. Kyle.
- 20:57Speaker 1: They call him Kyle. Obviously, I can tell why. Because people...
- 21:00Speaker 1: Cause it's after that, it's fucking, you're bothering people. But
- 21:03Speaker 1: Kyle from Nelk, right. Who looked, who looked like he
- 21:06Speaker 1: was going to court to not get in trouble for
- 21:08Speaker 1: a serious crime, like a business crime. Like he looked dashing.
- 21:13Speaker 1: He really did. The man looked dashing. Um, and, oh,
- 21:19Speaker 1: and then behind them, Jay, uh, oh, and then, um,
- 21:24Speaker 1: Alex Bruce, which John Shahidi, um, And then in the back,
- 21:29Speaker 1: it was Jake Paul's Logan Paul. Behind them, Pam, Logan's mom,
- 21:38Speaker 1: and Corner McGregor, the fucking Colorado kid of Ireland. And
- 21:46Speaker 1: it was just, and it was awkward. You could see
- 21:49Speaker 1: also on everybody's face, because I guess there'd been issues
- 21:52Speaker 1: between the Pauls and the McGregors. They'd been having beef
- 21:57Speaker 1: online or whatever. And so, uh they've been beefing and
- 21:59Speaker 1: so there was issues there and i didn't know it
- 22:01Speaker 1: but so it was just awkward you know so i
- 22:03Speaker 1: think there was some energy there uh but it was
- 22:06Speaker 1: also people was uh they said fair play to each
- 22:10Speaker 1: other both of those sides said fair play to each
- 22:13Speaker 1: other boys and we're gonna have a good day and
- 22:15Speaker 1: we're here for something bigger than bigger than bigger than
- 22:18Speaker 1: us you know for uh to witness just a country
- 22:21Speaker 1: that has freedom And so the bus took off, took
- 22:25Speaker 1: a while. We probably sat there 40 minutes, a lot
- 22:28Speaker 1: of laughter and fun stuff. You know, just crazy, dude.
- 22:32Speaker 1: I mean, I can't even believe I'm sitting next to,
- 22:34Speaker 1: hold on. I'm sitting by Evander Holyfield, dude, right? And
- 22:42Speaker 1: you could tell, he can feel like these other boxers
- 22:44Speaker 1: in the back, but we know who the fucking dog is,
- 22:48Speaker 1: you know? And I looked at him like, I'm on
- 22:52Speaker 1: your team, brother. You know what I'm saying? If shit
- 22:54Speaker 1: gets fucking risky out here, you know, if things get crazy,
- 22:57Speaker 1: you know, then, then you, you know what I'm saying?
- 23:01Speaker 1: If he, and he's, you know, he's getting up in years,
- 23:02Speaker 1: but if you got to even use me as a
- 23:04Speaker 1: white Walker just to help you get out of here, mate,
- 23:07Speaker 1: let us, whatever we got to do, man. So, but yeah,
- 23:11Speaker 1: but I, I just, I truly can't believe that I'm
- 23:14Speaker 1: on this, you know, it's just, it's a, you know,
- 23:16Speaker 1: Do you find yourself in certain moments where you're like,
- 23:18Speaker 1: this is pretty crazy that you're in a moment, right?
- 23:22Speaker 1: And it's just regular people for sure. But if you're like,
- 23:26Speaker 1: this is like, who did we trick or whatever to
- 23:32Speaker 1: get in here? You know, like, how did we, I
- 23:35Speaker 1: don't know.
- 23:38Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 23:38Speaker 1: And we didn't trick anybody, but there's a part, there's
- 23:40Speaker 1: just like, yeah, you're like, what are we? You know,
- 23:45Speaker 1: one of these things is not like the other. It
- 23:47Speaker 1: just seemed like, I don't know. And I'm not trying
- 23:50Speaker 1: to say that like in a self-pity or like pity
- 23:51Speaker 1: me way. I just, or like, oh, I don't deserve
- 23:54Speaker 1: to be there. I'm just like, it just was fucking
- 23:57Speaker 1: kind of a surprising moment. We're all going to a
- 23:59Speaker 1: presidential inauguration. I don't know these people.
- 24:02Speaker 3: Do you know?
- 24:02Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I know John Shahidi really well.
- 24:05Speaker 1: He's actually a close friend of mine who runs Happy Dad.
- 24:10Speaker 1: And I know, who else was it? I, well, I
- 24:17Speaker 1: paid for one of Evander's fights before, for sure, when
- 24:19Speaker 1: they had early pay-per-view, I know. And I paid for
- 24:24Speaker 1: one of Paul's fights. And I met Jake and Logan,
- 24:29Speaker 1: but I don't know them, you know? So anyway, there
- 24:33Speaker 1: we all are. We're on a bus. We get over
- 24:35Speaker 1: by the Capitol. And they say, as soon as the
- 24:39Speaker 1: thing ends, we have six minutes to get out of
- 24:41Speaker 1: the venue and back onto the bus again. before they're
- 24:45Speaker 1: going to shut down certain roads. And that was one
- 24:48Speaker 1: of the biggest things. All along the outside, when I've
- 24:52Speaker 1: been walking towards the hotel and everything, it's probably 10
- 24:55Speaker 1: to 30 degrees or 40 degrees or 34, 6, 7 degrees, right?
- 25:01Speaker 1: It's not a ton of degrees, but it's not like
- 25:04Speaker 1: no degrees, but it's like some degrees. You know what
- 25:08Speaker 1: I'm saying? But there's military everywhere. Every fucking, you even like,
- 25:15Speaker 1: like there'd be military, there's like SWAT team, you know, police, sheriffs, undercut,
- 25:24Speaker 1: like a Marine. Every, there was people in high, there
- 25:30Speaker 1: was like, like I went to use a mailbox. I
- 25:33Speaker 1: opened it up. It's a fucking military guy in disguise,
- 25:38Speaker 1: dressed up like a male thing. Like, oh fuck, you know? Um,
- 25:44Speaker 1: he still took two of the letters for me. So
- 25:46Speaker 1: thank you. Um, but yeah, everything you just couldn't, you
- 25:50Speaker 1: gotta be careful. There was military everywhere. So you couldn't
- 25:53Speaker 1: piss outside kind of vibes, you know? Um, anyway. So
- 25:57Speaker 1: we're driving, but all the roads, there's like barricades everywhere.
- 26:00Speaker 1: There's like trucks that they've just brought in to park
- 26:02Speaker 1: at all these intersections, all around this capital area. Like
- 26:08Speaker 1: any corner you would pass on the way in, because
- 26:10Speaker 1: we'd circled the entire thing trying to find a way
- 26:12Speaker 1: to get closer to this hotel. So I hadn't had
- 26:15Speaker 1: to walk just because it was so brisk out. So
- 26:18Speaker 1: the thing, but there was some of them had cement barricades.
- 26:22Speaker 1: Some of them just had like a big trucks. Some
- 26:24Speaker 1: of them had SUVs. war war little war trucks or
- 26:30Speaker 1: whatever it's like a little tank but with um and
- 26:33Speaker 1: they made them for regular people but they were fucking
- 26:36Speaker 1: sad it was like uh h hummers they had those
- 26:39Speaker 1: real hummers they had um There was things stopping everywhere
- 26:46Speaker 1: and there was military personnel all over or police personnel
- 26:51Speaker 1: all over. So anyway, the bus ride takes a while.
- 26:53Speaker 1: You got to go through these certain streets. They have
- 26:55Speaker 1: these big barricades set up and then you have to
- 26:57Speaker 1: kind of like turn the corner and then straighten your
- 26:59Speaker 1: bus out to make it through these huge like kind
- 27:03Speaker 1: of cage steel walls that they put up so the
- 27:07Speaker 1: bus can just fit right down the middle of the walls.
- 27:09Speaker 1: Like the full intersection is the full street is closed
- 27:12Speaker 1: and it's just been narrowed to um, this one, uh,
- 27:16Speaker 1: like the middle lane kind of it. And so that
- 27:19Speaker 1: took a while, like doing different turns. Um, anyway, we
- 27:23Speaker 1: pull up outside of the Capitol, probably pretty far off.
- 27:27Speaker 1: I'm not sure, maybe 400 yards. We walk, we start
- 27:30Speaker 1: walking a beautiful day. Beautiful. I mean like freezing cold,
- 27:34Speaker 1: but just picturesque. The sun's hitting you. You can see
- 27:38Speaker 1: the Capitol, the American flag and, um, it was exciting.
- 27:42Speaker 1: All the officers, it seemed they're all wearing like this,
- 27:45Speaker 1: the hot, the hot, the cold, um, like head gear.
- 27:49Speaker 1: You can just see their eyes or whatever and just
- 27:52Speaker 1: their gun or whatever. And that's, and, um, yeah, they
- 27:57Speaker 1: look like all like kind of dark snowman, like kind
- 27:59Speaker 1: of like black snowman, like a little bit. Cause there
- 28:01Speaker 1: was just, a lot of them was wearing SWAT gear tactical.
- 28:04Speaker 1: They had everything. They had a fucking gun, handcuff, uh,
- 28:08Speaker 1: Billy club. Um, uh, Ray-Bans or whatever, you know, just
- 28:15Speaker 1: pepper spray, salt spray. Just fucking, you know, you didn't
- 28:19Speaker 1: even know what was going. Just, you know, one of
- 28:22Speaker 1: them would fucking just throw a grenade full of lemon pepper,
- 28:27Speaker 1: you know, if shit got really bad. So anyway, you
- 28:31Speaker 1: have all these officers and everything. You go inside. Let
- 28:33Speaker 1: me think. So at the bottom, oh, there's all these bikes.
- 28:37Speaker 1: They parked all these bicycles and stuff kind of to
- 28:39Speaker 1: make it like– You had to go past them, and
- 28:42Speaker 1: it was a little bit of like a gauntlet kind of.
- 28:45Speaker 1: It was just odd, the different things that they put
- 28:47Speaker 1: in place to kind of make it odd to get
- 28:49Speaker 1: into places. So you get inside, and then we walked
- 28:55Speaker 1: along a hallway, and then you start to see military,
- 28:58Speaker 1: like Marines, Army, colonels, generals, sergeants, staff sergeant. Sergeant Pepper,
- 29:13Speaker 1: I think. They had everybody in that bitch, right? They had...
- 29:16Speaker 1: Everybody was... There was... And they were standing at attention,
- 29:18Speaker 1: you know, and some were at not attention. You know,
- 29:21Speaker 1: the lazy ones or whatever. I don't know who they were.
- 29:23Speaker 1: But they... You know, and some people were getting photos.
- 29:26Speaker 1: I mean, if you're rolling with Conor McGregor's, they... You know,
- 29:29Speaker 1: people's fucking topped in lot. You know, that's the most violent,
- 29:33Speaker 1: tallest leprechaun they ever made right there. He's a savage man.
- 29:37Speaker 1: And so, yeah, and you got him and the Pauls.
- 29:39Speaker 1: And so it was kind of nice because I, you know,
- 29:42Speaker 1: I was just under the radar. They're all taller and bigger.
- 29:45Speaker 1: And so they have more excitement. I just kind of was,
- 29:50Speaker 1: you know, I was just, you know, I was kind
- 29:55Speaker 1: of in awe of the situations. My buddy, the wildfires
- 30:02Speaker 1: got his home, but I'll tell you this, he had
- 30:03Speaker 1: a fish tank and the fish in it survived, which
- 30:10Speaker 1: is pretty unbelievable. But that's just the power of nature
- 30:17Speaker 1: and water. It's been estimated that the damages so far
- 30:22Speaker 1: from the California fires total more than $ 250 billion dollars.
- 30:27Speaker 1: The loss of life is immeasurable, and the state and
- 30:30Speaker 1: city are still in shock. There are claims that insurance
- 30:33Speaker 1: companies canceled thousands of homeowners' fire policies in the months
- 30:37Speaker 1: leading up to the fires. Were those cancellations legal? Could
- 30:42Speaker 1: this catastrophe have been avoided? If the wildfires were caused
- 30:46Speaker 1: by negligence, someone must be held responsible. Morgan & Morgan,

- 32:47Speaker 1: once they started to open the doors, it was some
- 32:50Speaker 1: areas were kind of first come first serve seating. That's
- 32:53Speaker 1: what it felt like. So it was kind of rushed.
- 32:55Speaker 1: It was like on the last Friday or whatever, when
- 32:58Speaker 1: you got, you know, when they got a bunch of,
- 33:01Speaker 1: you know, they got a bunch of kind of basketball
- 33:03Speaker 1: wives fighting for those TVs or whatever. Like it's for like, thanks.
- 33:08Speaker 1: Whenever Christmas shopping starts, you know what I'm talking about?
- 33:11Speaker 1: So they had that, it was that kind of energy.
- 33:13Speaker 1: Everybody's running to get a seat type of energy. And
- 33:16Speaker 1: we weren't running, but we're kind of keeping a quick pace,
- 33:19Speaker 1: you know? But then we got up in there and
- 33:22Speaker 1: we sat down And they had also with us or
- 33:28Speaker 1: by us or whatever was Sam Altman, and he did AI, right?
- 33:33Speaker 1: And we'd love to get to chat with him and
- 33:35Speaker 1: learn about how the world's going to fall apart. You
- 33:39Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? We got to at least learn
- 33:41Speaker 1: about it a little bit. And then Sam Altman, Alexander Wang, right?
- 33:48Speaker 1: And I don't know a lot of Wangs. I don't
- 33:49Speaker 1: know any. Okay, there he is. Alexander Wang or Vong.
- 33:56Speaker 1: I'm not sure how they do it in, he's New Mexican.
- 34:01Speaker 1: So he's, he's kind of the, um, you know, he's
- 34:05Speaker 1: kind of the Asian John Jones, if you will, sort of. He, um,
- 34:09Speaker 1: but he went to MIT. He's a, uh, Interesting guy. Anyway,
- 34:14Speaker 1: he's there. Everybody else was governors, elected officials, rich people, like,
- 34:22Speaker 1: you know, people that had cattle or gold, you know,
- 34:25Speaker 1: or whatever. And some people don't even call it gold.
- 34:29Speaker 1: You know, at first, a lot of times they called
- 34:30Speaker 1: it f * * * ing rocks, which is a
- 34:33Speaker 1: crazy thing, but I could easily see people calling it that,
- 34:36Speaker 1: and that's sad. Anyway... So we all sit down, right?
- 34:44Speaker 1: We all sit down and it's a weight, bro. It
- 34:46Speaker 1: is like, you know, and there's a lot of military,
- 34:49Speaker 1: you got to meet a lot of military folks. So
- 34:52Speaker 1: just to see all them in their dress garb, you know,
- 34:55Speaker 1: I mean, that was, that was probably one of the
- 34:57Speaker 1: coolest things. You're in the Capitol and there's all, everybody's
- 35:00Speaker 1: in their garb and it's just very regal, very regal looking.
- 35:06Speaker 1: And yeah, and people were amped and there was fun stuff.
- 35:11Speaker 1: And then Every now and then you shake somebody's hand
- 35:13Speaker 1: and they had a wet hand or whatever. And you're like, oh, fuck,
- 35:15Speaker 1: you know, somebody get this fellow a bag of flour.
- 35:19Speaker 1: Somebody or just get him one of those pool chalks
- 35:24Speaker 1: and let him just chalk his hand up before he
- 35:26Speaker 1: shakes again, before he meets somebody, you know. But yeah.
- 35:32Speaker 1: And then, so that, that kind of happened. We sat
- 35:34Speaker 1: there for a while, probably 30 minutes. And then, uh,
- 35:38Speaker 1: and so we all slipped off and, uh, just slunk
- 35:41Speaker 1: out and got into a special area beneath some stairwells
- 35:45Speaker 1: where a lot of the military was back there and
- 35:47Speaker 1: they had, they was drinking a chicken broth, hot chocolate
- 35:51Speaker 1: and coffee. And, um, the government had given them a
- 35:53Speaker 1: little bag with a banana in it. You know, you're like,
- 35:56Speaker 1: dear God, these people putting their lives on the line.
- 35:59Speaker 3: Right.
- 36:01Speaker 1: They're here to protect the president. Somebody, I mean, it's
- 36:07Speaker 1: some of these bananas had been, I don't want to
- 36:10Speaker 1: say they had been abused or whatever by their owner
- 36:13Speaker 1: or whatever, but they had been trafficked. I don't want
- 36:15Speaker 1: to say, or I don't know how they, but some
- 36:17Speaker 1: of the bananas had, um, you know, they're not, you know, they're,
- 36:23Speaker 1: they're not going to be put back in circulation. I
- 36:26Speaker 1: was surprised some of them were still in circulation. And, uh, anyway, um,
- 36:30Speaker 1: but the military personnel didn't care. And, uh, and that
- 36:33Speaker 1: was kind of a blast to just, that was probably
- 36:35Speaker 1: the highlight of the whole inauguration was seeing all the
- 36:38Speaker 1: military folks from all different branches from police to, um, like, uh, army, Navy, SWAT, uh, sweat.
- 36:50Speaker 1: There was just some gay guy wearing a sweat shirt,
- 36:53Speaker 1: sweat on it. Um, who else they had even stolen valor,
- 36:58Speaker 1: even the people out there and stolen valor. You were like,
- 37:01Speaker 1: you know, you were, it was an honor, all of that.
- 37:03Speaker 1: Just that was something great. Sorry. This story's getting long.
- 37:09Speaker 1: So anyway, we got over there and we're just, we
- 37:12Speaker 1: hadn't eaten any breakfast, right? I hadn't. And so you just,
- 37:15Speaker 1: I'm just slurping chicken broth and slurping hot cocoa, you know?
- 37:18Speaker 1: And anyway, so that was like a nice excursion from
- 37:20Speaker 1: sitting there. We go back to our seats and And
- 37:22Speaker 1: my chair was bad. I had a bad chair. The
- 37:25Speaker 1: chair had been, I don't know, it was probably made
- 37:28Speaker 1: in Cherna or whatever. It's been one of those, you know,
- 37:32Speaker 1: probably a chair. Yeah, it was a chair that shouldn't
- 37:38Speaker 1: be allowed to chair. They should check these chairs, right?
- 37:40Speaker 1: They should breathalyze and whatever they should do. But whatever
- 37:44Speaker 1: this chair, you know, probably knew somebody or whatever and
- 37:47Speaker 1: got in the building. Anyway, it was kind of slagging
- 37:51Speaker 1: a little. My chair was kind of like, so when
- 37:53Speaker 1: I sit down, I had that fucking lean on me.
- 37:56Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? That shoulder lean, that shoulder lean.
- 38:01Speaker 1: So a lot of, and suddenly as soon as I
- 38:03Speaker 1: sat like that, a lot of black people kind of
- 38:06Speaker 1: nodded at me because once you have that lean on you, buddy,
- 38:08Speaker 1: it's a little bit of a kind of urban respect
- 38:11Speaker 1: going on, you know? So I was like, okay, I'm in,
- 38:14Speaker 1: I'm here. So we sit down, the congregation starts, the
- 38:19Speaker 1: whole evening starts, the inauguration starts. And it's very nice, man.
- 38:22Speaker 1: I mean, it's just, you know, you're witnessing a piece
- 38:25Speaker 1: of history and you get to be there. And it
- 38:28Speaker 1: definitely felt like a lot of very regal people and
- 38:32Speaker 1: everybody was dressed very well and just fancy. It was
- 38:37Speaker 1: a diverse group, it felt like. I don't know if
- 38:42Speaker 1: that's true. That's crazy to say that part. Uh, but
- 38:46Speaker 1: it was, it was nice. It was really nice. And
- 38:51Speaker 1: just like, yeah, I just felt lucky to be there
- 38:55Speaker 1: just to see it. You know, I mean, I, I
- 38:57Speaker 1: was saying this this weekend on Twitter, but you know,
- 38:59Speaker 1: some countries they can't vote. They don't have voting. You
- 39:02Speaker 1: can't go vote. You just live and you feel like
- 39:06Speaker 1: you don't have a say in how, um, in the
- 39:10Speaker 1: template that you operate in or the, the word, the
- 39:13Speaker 1: universe that you're set up and you don't have a,
- 39:16Speaker 1: You don't have a hand to raise ever. But yes,
- 39:22Speaker 1: it was wild to see that. It was wild to
- 39:26Speaker 1: witness it. And then just the little things, just like
- 39:28Speaker 1: everybody just watching. like all the little things at the inauguration,
- 39:32Speaker 1: just the little moments of little glances from the different people.
- 39:35Speaker 1: And it's like this whole changing of the guard. And
- 39:38Speaker 1: it's like this tag team, it's like tagging in, you know,
- 39:41Speaker 1: instead of tagging in your partner, it's like tagging in
- 39:44Speaker 1: your opponent, which is just such a wild thing to
- 39:46Speaker 1: witness in a, in a, sport. If you look at politics,
- 39:49Speaker 1: almost like a sport. Um, and so we sat there,
- 39:52Speaker 1: everything was going pretty smooth. And then at some point
- 39:54Speaker 1: my chair broke, right? The chair broke. Um, I felt
- 40:00Speaker 1: it fell. I just, it fell right. I fell out.
- 40:03Speaker 1: I don't know what to say it. The chair like might've,
- 40:06Speaker 1: I don't know what happened.
- 40:08Speaker 3: Right.
- 40:08Speaker 1: But the chair fell and I fell and it was like,
- 40:12Speaker 1: Oh dude, it was the worst.
- 40:13Speaker 2: Right.
- 40:14Speaker 1: It was embarrassing. Because at first I thought, oh, people
- 40:18Speaker 1: thought I did this, right? Like I don't do– I
- 40:20Speaker 1: don't like physical stuff. I don't like that. Like I'm
- 40:25Speaker 1: not good at that type of stuff, falling out of
- 40:27Speaker 1: a chair, that type of shit, right? That's for fucking
- 40:30Speaker 1: clowns or shitty mimes, right? Like, yeah, that's for shitty mimes,
- 40:35Speaker 1: the shitty mime type shit. I don't do that. So
- 40:38Speaker 1: the chair broke and then I was like, oh man.
- 40:41Speaker 1: And Sam Altman looked at me, the guy who made AI, bro.
- 40:46Speaker 1: He looks at me like, I was like, oh God,
- 40:49Speaker 1: that dude's never going to come on the podcast. Um,
- 40:54Speaker 1: I was like, dude, design me a chair right now.
- 40:57Speaker 1: I was like, design me some way to get out
- 40:59Speaker 1: of this embarrassment. So that was kind of strange. And
- 41:03Speaker 1: then I got up and and anyway, the thing carried on.
- 41:08Speaker 1: We snuck off one more time to get some more
- 41:10Speaker 1: stuff because it got long. You know, some of the
- 41:12Speaker 1: benediction got a little, you know, they were up there
- 41:16Speaker 1: rattling and shit. And then Trump came through. He gave
- 41:19Speaker 1: a very long speech in there. I think addressed a
- 41:23Speaker 1: lot of different things in there. It was kind of
- 41:28Speaker 1: like the B-sides, like things he maybe didn't want to
- 41:30Speaker 1: say in the actual main part, but he said in there.
- 41:35Speaker 1: And then on the way back to the hotel, our
- 41:39Speaker 1: bus kept turning off. It was experiencing breakage or whatever,
- 41:44Speaker 1: or it was broken. So we got out and just
- 41:48Speaker 1: walked like the last few blocks. And that was kind
- 41:50Speaker 1: of hectic. Um, just because some of those people are,
- 41:56Speaker 1: are pretty recognizable and, uh, you know, just a lot
- 42:00Speaker 1: of people were coming up pictures and videoing and ask,
- 42:03Speaker 1: you know, people from a different place. It was just
- 42:06Speaker 1: a lot. It was like a lot of energy. Uh,
- 42:08Speaker 1: and it was kind of a little scary, you know,
- 42:10Speaker 1: like I don't have security. I'm not saying I need security,
- 42:13Speaker 1: but you're just out there. You don't know what people are,
- 42:15Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying? You don't know. You just
- 42:16Speaker 1: don't know what's going on. So that was a little crazy.
- 42:20Speaker 1: Got back to the hotel and, yeah, went home, went
- 42:26Speaker 1: to my hotel, which is maybe a mile away or something,
- 42:30Speaker 1: took a nap for a few hours, and then went
- 42:32Speaker 1: to the ball later on. And there was some issues
- 42:38Speaker 1: about the chair. You know, I ended up like, well, here,
- 42:41Speaker 1: let me talk about the ball. So the ball... I
- 42:44Speaker 1: guess they had a bunch of different balls and I
- 42:46Speaker 1: had got it. I got a ticket to one ball. Right.
- 42:49Speaker 1: And it was very nice. It was called the star
- 42:50Speaker 1: light ball and it was beautiful in there. And I
- 42:53Speaker 1: got dropped off here to get dropped off of blocks away.
- 42:56Speaker 1: And then they had a very long, like snake walk
- 42:58Speaker 1: that you had to go on to get to the door.
- 43:00Speaker 1: And it was probably maybe probably a 20 minute walk.
- 43:04Speaker 3: Right.
- 43:04Speaker 1: And so it was cold out. It was probably 25
- 43:07Speaker 1: degrees or something. So you're walking out there and I
- 43:09Speaker 1: didn't bring a coat.
- 43:10Speaker 3: Right.
- 43:10Speaker 1: Cause I didn't know, you know, I didn't, I didn't think,
- 43:15Speaker 1: I guess. And so I didn't think about a coat
- 43:17Speaker 1: and I didn't have a coat. And so we finally
- 43:20Speaker 1: get up to the front and they let you in.
- 43:24Speaker 1: And it was beautiful. You know, it's nice. It's elegant.
- 43:27Speaker 1: They got curtains. They got carpet. The curtains were, some
- 43:31Speaker 1: curtains was 80 feet long, 90, 45, 75 feet long, baby.
- 43:38Speaker 1: They had curtains that had carpet on them. Like these bitches,
- 43:41Speaker 1: they had, you know, they had everything in there. The
- 43:44Speaker 1: craziest thing I saw, they had a ceiling fan. It
- 43:46Speaker 1: must have been 150 feet up in the air, dude.
- 43:49Speaker 1: I was like, what? How would you do it? And
- 43:53Speaker 1: so I kind of was like looking for the switch
- 43:54Speaker 1: for that low key for a while. Let me see.
- 43:58Speaker 1: Inside of the ball, I got to see some people
- 44:00Speaker 1: that I knew. Joe Rogan was in there. Mayor Ernie Johnson.
- 44:06Speaker 1: Who's the guy? Speaker of the House, maybe?
- 44:10Speaker 4: Mike Johnson.
- 44:11Speaker 1: Mike Johnson, maybe. Got to talk to him. He's from Shreveport, Louisiana.
- 44:15Speaker 1: He had a great sense of humor. We got to
- 44:16Speaker 1: joke around a little bit. He had a few of
- 44:18Speaker 1: his children with him. Got to talk with them. Wayne
- 44:21Speaker 1: Gretzky was in there, the great one. I saw him. Dude,
- 44:24Speaker 1: Wayne Gretzky had lost his tooth in there. My tooth
- 44:28Speaker 1: got chipped, right? My tooth got chipped or something on
- 44:32Speaker 1: a hard appetizer, right? So Wayne's in there. I told
- 44:37Speaker 1: him that. He goes... Like that, showed me his mouth.
- 44:42Speaker 1: He's missing a whole tooth, dude. You know, runaway train
- 44:46Speaker 1: never going back. He had that bitch just gone, dude.
- 44:50Speaker 1: I mean, he's a hockey player, so yeah. But then
- 44:53Speaker 1: they're like looking on the floor for the tooth. So
- 44:56Speaker 1: for probably 10 minutes, I'm helping him and his wife
- 44:58Speaker 1: and somebody else, like a, I don't know if it
- 45:01Speaker 1: was a dentist or whatever, but a dental assistant, basically.
- 45:03Speaker 1: I think it was just a dude that liked guys
- 45:05Speaker 1: or whatever. But he was trying to help look for it.
- 45:08Speaker 1: And then, um, so we're looking for Wayne Gretzky's tooth. Okay.
- 45:14Speaker 1: And I think he's like, yeah, I think, I think he,
- 45:16Speaker 1: I won't find, I thought he said he had a couple,
- 45:17Speaker 1: he usually kept a couple extra on him, you know,
- 45:19Speaker 1: cause this is a hockey guy. These guys, you know,
- 45:22Speaker 1: you'll go to bed, they'll have their wedding ring and
- 45:24Speaker 1: a tooth on the nightstand. You know, that's just the
- 45:26Speaker 1: kind of guys they are, you know? Um, so yeah
- 45:30Speaker 1: he just had that empty net up top and it
- 45:32Speaker 1: was um but it was hilarious dude we laughed and
- 45:35Speaker 1: uh and we took a nice photo together me him
- 45:38Speaker 1: mike johnson um and then i started getting through some
- 45:42Speaker 1: social anxiety in there that was a little bit hectic
- 45:46Speaker 1: and what else was it i mean it's just like
- 45:48Speaker 1: a couple thousand people you know when you can't be
- 45:51Speaker 1: like hey have you seen wayne gretzky's tooth you know
- 45:54Speaker 1: like So I would do that a couple of times.
- 45:56Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, have you seen Wayne Gretzky's tooth?
- 45:58Speaker 1: And I think a lot of people thought it was
- 45:59Speaker 1: a euphemism for something or whatever. It was kind of
- 46:03Speaker 1: like something like that. But yeah, anyway, I don't know
- 46:09Speaker 1: if they found it or not. I got to touch
- 46:10Speaker 1: base with them. But what a legend, dude. What a legend, bro.
- 46:15Speaker 1: That was awesome. So that kind of made my night,
- 46:17Speaker 1: I think.
- 46:17Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 46:20Speaker 1: What else? I saw Tony Hinchcliffe and Jeff Ross, and
- 46:23Speaker 1: we joked around for about a half hour over by
- 46:25Speaker 1: the desserts. The things that I did not enjoy, to
- 46:27Speaker 1: be honest with you, no judgment, but these are just
- 46:30Speaker 1: things that what it was like. There was only probably
- 46:32Speaker 1: 25 chairs in the whole place for probably, I don't know,
- 46:37Speaker 1: maybe it was 2,000 people in there or something, 1,600 people. Right?
- 46:41Speaker 1: Is that the right amount of people? Maybe 1,000 people.
- 46:45Speaker 1: So they only probably, they might have had 40 chairs, right?
- 46:48Speaker 1: So there was, it was like, if you saw a chair,
- 46:52Speaker 1: it was like, it was, it got squid gamey in there, dude.
- 46:55Speaker 1: It was very, if you even heard an ass cheek,
- 46:57Speaker 1: leave a fucking seat. You could hear that, you could
- 47:01Speaker 1: hear it at 40 paces. You could hear an ass cheek,
- 47:03Speaker 1: leave a, leave a seat. See people rush in, fly in.
- 47:11Speaker 1: Just for that damn 18 square inches of real estate, boy.
- 47:14Speaker 1: for that ass real estate, maybe that chair. Who else?
- 47:20Speaker 1: Sean O'Brien. I saw the Teamsters Union president who came
- 47:23Speaker 1: on to the podcast once. Who else did I get
- 47:26Speaker 1: to see or not see? Oh, Ben Shapiro. I saw
- 47:28Speaker 1: I didn't get to talk to him. Jake and Logan,
- 47:31Speaker 1: I saw. I'm leaving some people out, but it was
- 47:35Speaker 1: just a lot. And I was kind of burnt out.
- 47:37Speaker 1: There was just like a lot of meeting people and
- 47:39Speaker 1: it was just a lot of energy. So then at
- 47:42Speaker 1: one point I ended up leaving And at the same time,
- 47:45Speaker 1: Lex Friedman was leaving. He does podcasting. I'd never seen
- 47:48Speaker 1: him before. And we talked. We walked for about 20
- 47:53Speaker 1: minutes and then caught an Uber for about 15 minutes
- 47:55Speaker 1: and just laughed, had a good chat. Yeah. And that
- 48:02Speaker 1: was it. That was the whole deal. I didn't get
- 48:04Speaker 1: to see, I didn't get to meet anybody of the
- 48:08Speaker 1: cabinet or anything like that. And I didn't get to
- 48:12Speaker 1: see Barron Trump. I didn't get to see Barron, bro. B-Dawg, bro.
- 48:16Speaker 1: You hear me? I didn't get to see Barron Trump.
- 48:20Speaker 1: That would have been something nice to meet that man.
- 48:24Speaker 1: That's a young man you want to meet. You know
- 48:27Speaker 1: what I'm saying? He just, he's that, you know, he
- 48:34Speaker 1: just is. He's that freaking seer. He's that seer, baby.
- 48:39Speaker 1: He's the Lord's lookout, baby. You know what I'm saying?
- 48:41Speaker 1: He is. He's that crow's nest of society right there.
- 48:45Speaker 1: And so, yeah, that was probably a bummer. I didn't
- 48:49Speaker 1: get to see Bobby Kennedy Jr., who's a friend of mine.
- 48:53Speaker 1: That would have been really nice. I thought Melania looked
- 48:57Speaker 1: really nice and gangster at the same time. Beautiful gangster vibe.
- 49:03Speaker 1: I got to see J.D. Vance's wife, just see her.
- 49:07Speaker 1: That's really beautiful. I think she's the first Indian second
- 49:12Speaker 1: lady in time ever that we've ever had, Indian American.
- 49:16Speaker 1: And if you've never met an Indian person, go meet
- 49:18Speaker 1: one this year. I say that wholeheartedly. I met a
- 49:22Speaker 1: couple of Indian people last year and I'm still enjoying
- 49:26Speaker 1: the benefits of that. And it's great. That's been great.
- 49:30Speaker 1: So if you haven't met someone like that, that's a
- 49:32Speaker 1: great person to meet. What else? There was some... Oh,
- 49:37Speaker 1: was there some... Oh, Tim Kennedy, I got to see.
- 49:41Speaker 1: I just met him a week before. And I wish,
- 49:43Speaker 1: I couldn't find his number. I was going to try
- 49:46Speaker 1: to meet up with him. It was so hard to
- 49:48Speaker 1: go from one thing to the next. I was like,
- 49:49Speaker 1: once you got somewhere, you were kind of there. There
- 49:52Speaker 1: was just a lot. It was very tough to kind
- 49:54Speaker 1: of move about in the city. What else? You all
- 50:01Speaker 1: know I like to keep things cool, even in the winter.
- 50:05Speaker 1: And nothing is cooler than a Blue Cube cold plunge.
- 50:09Speaker 1: I'm fortunate enough to have one at home, and let
- 50:11Speaker 1: me tell you, it's like baptizing your soul, baby. Get
- 50:15Speaker 1: in that little crispy bucket, baby. It gets rid of
- 50:18Speaker 1: them demons we all have and makes you feel great
- 50:21Speaker 1: for seven or eight hours afterwards. It's good. My buddy
- 50:25Speaker 1: Thomas Schiffer, the genius behind Blue Cube, and I go
- 50:28Speaker 1: way back, and he just launched a presale for their
- 50:31Speaker 1: new stand-up cold plunges. Wow. These things are the Cadillacs
- 50:35Speaker 1: of cold plunge therapy. American-made, full immersion, weatherproof frames, and

- 51:24Speaker 1: I want to support my friend and his amazing company.
- 51:28Speaker 1: Is pornography causing a problem in your life? Do you
- 51:31Speaker 1: find yourself watching porno for longer periods of time and
- 51:36Speaker 1: having trouble stopping? Is porn affecting your relationship or dating life? Well,
- 51:42Speaker 1: you're certainly not alone. Watching pornography has become so commonplace today,
- 51:48Speaker 1: and oftentimes men use porn to numb the pain of loneliness, boredom, anxiety,
- 51:54Speaker 1: and depression. Shame and stigma prevent men from talking about
- 51:58Speaker 1: these issues and getting help for them. I want to
- 52:02Speaker 1: introduce you to my friend Steve. Steve is the founder
- 52:05Speaker 1: of Valor Recovery. a program to help men overcome porn
- 52:08Speaker 1: abuse and sexual compulsivity. Steve is a long-term sexual recovery
- 52:14Speaker 1: member and has personally overcame the emotional and spiritual despair
- 52:18Speaker 1: of abusing pornography and has dedicated his life to empowering
- 52:22Speaker 1: men to do the same. Steve is an amazing person
- 52:26Speaker 1: and he is a close friend of mine. I mean that.
- 52:30Speaker 1: Valor Recovery helps men to develop the tools necessary to
- 52:33Speaker 1: have a healthier sex life. Their coaches are in long-term
- 52:36Speaker 1: recovery and will be your partner, mentor, and spiritual guide

- 52:46Speaker 1: please visit them at www.valorrecoverycoaching.com or email them at admin
- 52:57Speaker 1: at valorrecoverycoaching.com. Thank you. Yeah. And I think my biggest
- 53:04Speaker 1: takeaway was just that things, it's just changing, you know,
- 53:07Speaker 1: it's like, um, just that things are kind of different,
- 53:11Speaker 1: you know, like I couldn't believe that they, that we
- 53:14Speaker 1: got to be at something like that, but I think
- 53:15Speaker 1: that's just how the world is getting. Everything's kind of
- 53:18Speaker 1: evening out. You know, I don't really believe that there's like,
- 53:21Speaker 1: it doesn't really feel like it almost feels like there's
- 53:24Speaker 1: not even really famous people. Everybody feels a little famous
- 53:27Speaker 1: because everybody is able to kind of promote themselves if
- 53:30Speaker 1: they want. Um, You know, what used to be like
- 53:34Speaker 1: media that felt like it was kept from people or controlled,
- 53:37Speaker 1: it just feels like it's just there now and you
- 53:41Speaker 1: can make your own decisions based on how you're consuming
- 53:46Speaker 1: or who you're consuming stuff through, I guess. I don't know.
- 53:51Speaker 1: I guess I don't have like a lot of macro
- 53:52Speaker 1: level pictures of that kind of stuff. But just to
- 53:54Speaker 1: get to meet Sam Altman, dude, the AI guy, like what?
- 54:01Speaker 1: And then there was just more, just like, yeah, it
- 54:04Speaker 1: was fascinating. I wish I had had, I was kind
- 54:08Speaker 1: of burnt out. It was very magnificent and had like a,
- 54:17Speaker 1: you know, a Cinderella type energy and stuff. I'm just
- 54:21Speaker 1: glad that I got to go to it. I couldn't
- 54:23Speaker 1: believe that. There was a thing where, You know, I
- 54:27Speaker 1: thought Jake and Logan, I thought Logan and Jake were
- 54:30Speaker 1: messing with me. They had videotaped, they were vlogging from
- 54:34Speaker 1: the get, right? And I never spent much time around them,
- 54:39Speaker 1: you know, and I know that they're really successful and,
- 54:43Speaker 1: and they're, I mean, they're war, they're tough guys. Those
- 54:47Speaker 1: are tough guys, right? No doubt. So anyway, they put
- 54:51Speaker 1: a clip of, I fell out the chair, dude. And
- 54:53Speaker 1: I didn't do, I didn't know, I knew that the
- 54:58Speaker 1: chair had been bad. The chair was faulty. It was
- 55:01Speaker 1: a faulty chair. I don't know if that was CIA
- 55:03Speaker 1: or whatever. I have no idea. No idea how, you know,
- 55:07Speaker 1: if they, there was a plan there, but anyway, they,
- 55:11Speaker 1: the chair was faulty. But then afterwards, somebody said that
- 55:14Speaker 1: they were forking with the chair, you know? And so
- 55:19Speaker 1: part of my brain was like, oh, were they, did they,
- 55:23Speaker 1: do something with it to egg it on, you know, like,
- 55:26Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying? If you see somebody who's
- 55:28Speaker 1: like leaning on a crutch or whatever, and then you
- 55:30Speaker 1: bar their crutch, you know, you leave town, you know,
- 55:34Speaker 1: cause you got priors or whatever. And then they fucking,
- 55:38Speaker 1: they take that L baby, that gravity L baby, they fall.
- 55:42Speaker 1: So I just didn't know. So I got into kind
- 55:43Speaker 1: of this skeptical place. Um, and I should have just
- 55:49Speaker 1: checked in with Logan about it, I guess, but they
- 55:50Speaker 1: were recording everything. So I didn't know if they were
- 55:52Speaker 1: going to record it or whatever. And I just, I
- 55:54Speaker 1: hadn't been around him that much, you know, and I didn't,
- 55:56Speaker 1: I think I get nervous around like vlogging type of
- 55:58Speaker 1: things because it feels like, um, you're there. Somebody could
- 56:04Speaker 1: be setting you up or something. And I'm just not
- 56:06Speaker 1: that familiar with that universe. Uh, and then later in
- 56:11Speaker 1: the day, um, Logan Paul's made a video where he said,
- 56:15Speaker 1: he made a challenge about, oh, he said, if I
- 56:18Speaker 1: was going to put you through something, I'd put you
- 56:19Speaker 1: through a table, you know, not a chair, because he
- 56:21Speaker 1: is a wrestler. He's a WWE wrestler. I believe he's
- 56:24Speaker 1: been a champion too, hasn't he? Let me see. Yeah,
- 56:33Speaker 1: he was the WWE champion from November 2023 to August 3rd, 2024. So, yeah, so.
- 56:43Speaker 1: I thought he, you know, so I thought that he wanted,
- 56:46Speaker 1: that he was, you know, then I thought he was
- 56:49Speaker 1: creating like an online hype about it, you know. I
- 56:51Speaker 1: thought he was calling out the Rat King, you know.
- 56:54Speaker 1: And if you want the smoke, baby, I'll fill your lungs,
- 56:57Speaker 1: you hear me?
- 56:58Speaker 4: Because I'm going to give you the truth, baby. And
- 57:01Speaker 4: I'm going to give you the trauma. Name the time
- 57:04Speaker 4: and the place and the place and the time. Because
- 57:07Speaker 4: I got a clock and a globe and an axe
- 57:09Speaker 4: to grind. from Alaska to Nebraska, from Maine to Fort Wayne.
- 57:18Speaker 1: So that's where I was at. And then we ended
- 57:21Speaker 1: up talking in the morning and I just, I should
- 57:24Speaker 1: have probably communicated. That was my, my, my part in
- 57:27Speaker 1: it was I didn't communicate better and they weren't, they,
- 57:31Speaker 1: they didn't, they didn't do anything. They were recording, the
- 57:36Speaker 1: chair fell and it was ridiculous. And then they weren't
- 57:41Speaker 1: trying to, uh, they weren't trying to wrestle. I used
- 57:46Speaker 1: to watch you wrestle. They weren't trying to wrestle. And so, yeah,
- 57:51Speaker 1: so no hard feelings there. Um, yeah, some just self-responsibility.
- 57:56Speaker 1: I think it was just a little bit of, uh,
- 58:00Speaker 1: miscommunication and just not knowing each other, maybe not knowing
- 58:02Speaker 1: each other's energy some. And I'll say this too, honestly,
- 58:07Speaker 1: I had a great time hanging out with them because
- 58:09Speaker 1: we also had had a great time that weekend. They
- 58:12Speaker 1: were probably two of the guys. Yeah, we just, just
- 58:19Speaker 1: joking around. I got to see how they interact with
- 58:21Speaker 1: their mother. And I thought that that was very sweet,
- 58:24Speaker 1: to be honest with you. uh, no home, no ditty
- 58:28Speaker 1: or whatever, you know, just, just like the way, um,
- 58:31Speaker 1: and it was just all real genuine. You know, you
- 58:33Speaker 1: could tell that they have, uh, yeah, you could just
- 58:38Speaker 1: tell the affinity that they have for their mother and,
- 58:40Speaker 1: and the same for them because a lot of families
- 58:43Speaker 1: that grow up, um, where the children are famous and stuff,
- 58:46Speaker 1: they don't have the same, uh, fortune. They don't have
- 58:50Speaker 1: the same good fortune, you know? And, um, So that
- 58:53Speaker 1: was really cool, actually. I admired that about them. Yeah,
- 58:59Speaker 1: this honky zen monkey rolled up on me at the
- 59:02Speaker 1: hotel at one point and was kind of just like,
- 59:05Speaker 1: he was just kind of trying to say stuff to
- 59:07Speaker 1: me and just, he was drunk, right? And he was just.
- 59:09Speaker 1: kind of kept spitting a lot and it was just
- 59:12Speaker 1: a lot for me. And he was just, his, his
- 59:14Speaker 1: energy was super clear. He was like right up in
- 59:15Speaker 1: my face kind of. And I told him I didn't
- 59:17Speaker 1: want to really talk. I was just, it had been
- 59:19Speaker 1: a long day or whatever. And then he kept, he
- 59:22Speaker 1: kept coming up and Logan and Jake both kind of
- 59:28Speaker 1: just form, just put a damn Trump wall right there
- 59:31Speaker 1: in front of me. And I didn't need to be rescued,
- 59:36Speaker 1: but I'm kind of glad they stepped in because it
- 59:38Speaker 1: could have got a little weird. I was on edge
- 59:42Speaker 1: a little. I just hadn't hit a meeting and all,
- 59:46Speaker 1: just shit like that. I just got to take care
- 59:50Speaker 1: of my own shit a little bit better. But so yeah,
- 59:53Speaker 1: what I'm saying is, And nobody asked me to tell this,
- 59:57Speaker 1: you know, we just, Logan and I had a call
- 59:59Speaker 1: the other day. That shit was just confusion. And, yeah,
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: that was just confusion. And then, yeah, I'm actually glad
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: I got to, I'm glad I got to get to
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: know them better, to be honest with you. It was
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: kind of a joy of the weekend. And what else
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: was nice? I mean, it was all just crazy just
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: to even, even just to like stand around a Vander
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: Holyfield and you're just like, welcome to be around him.
- 1:00:30Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: There's not like he doesn't have, there's no, neither one
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: of y'all needs to walk off because you're both in
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: the same group. It was like, you're at a field trip.
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: That was it. That's what it was like. It was
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: like when you were kids at a field trip and
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: it was like, okay, this is the B group and
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: this is your chaperone or this is the L group
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: and this is your chaperone. And so that was us.
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: We had eight or nine of us. We had our chaperone.
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: um and we were just you know we were just
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: learning about uh civics and getting to see some of
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: it firsthand and we really did like laugh it was
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: a fucking blast dude and yeah i think maybe part
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: of me i wish they'd asked if they'd put the
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: clip of falling of the chair out or whatever but
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: in the end it's okay it's all good you know
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: i don't have any any ill thoughts towards them you
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: know um i i uh Yeah, I thought that they were,
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: I thought they were cool guys. Maybe I need to
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: quit saying that, dude. Obviously, they're both married and I
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: like women. But, um, but yeah, I kind of wish
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: we would have fucking took that. I kind of wish
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: we would have took it to the ring. You know,
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: I think it was a part of me that that
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: was hoping, you know, because, you know, the rat king, baby,
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: I'll put him in the frickin mozzarella wheelchair, baby. You
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: feel me? My finishing move is the tax evasion, baby. So,
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: but that's every kid's dream to get in there and
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: get body slammed and lose a vertebra, you know, in
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: a sold out arena in Charlotte. I mean, who, you know,
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: we can all dream. But yeah, I'm just glad I
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: got to go to the inauguration. I would have gone.
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: You can't miss it. You couldn't miss it if you
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: got to go. And I just feel lucky that I
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: got to go. And so thank you to Alex Bruchowitz
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: for taking me, for John Shahidi. my buddy who's, uh,
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: been super supportive and helps me a lot and helped me, um,
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: get to do, uh, the political podcast last year and
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: just to learn about some things that I care about,
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: you know, and, um, and just different politicians and how
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: it works. It's like, I've learned a lot in the
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: past year, to be honest with you. I think anyway,
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: you know, I think I have. And, um, So, yeah,
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: wish I'd have gotten to meet Barron. Wish I'd have
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: gotten to see Bobby Kennedy. Some people gave me a
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: hard time about going to the inauguration or supporting a
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: party or whatever. I don't think about it. You know,
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: I support, I do what I want to do for me.
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: And you can do what you want to do for you,
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: you know. But nobody owns my support. Nobody owns my support.
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: For anything, I don't think, you know, except maybe my family.
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: And even then, I'll keep it away from them sometimes.
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: So I don't know about what else. Let's take a
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: call that came in. Here we go.
- 1:03:26Speaker 3: Hello, Mr. Theo Vaughn.
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: This is Judy. Hey, Judy. Sorry, my buddy used to
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: say that all the time. Carry on, Judy.
- 1:03:37Speaker 3: Onward.
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: Thank you for calling.
- 1:03:39Speaker 3: From Shreveport, Louisiana.
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: Oh, yes. Mike Johnson country. And, you know, he's Speaker
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: of the House. And I liked his attitude. I liked
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: his energy. You know, and I'm curious to see what
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: this whole new campaign, what they do in there. I'm
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: curious to see, you know, because it's a motley, it's
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: a motley group that they got going in there. And
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: I want to get to meet some of them. I
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: want to get to talk to some of them and
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: learn some stuff, you know, and also ask them, ask
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: them some promises. You're going to do this. You can
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: do this. And then we can see if we can
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: hold them to it. If we get to keep podcasting
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: for years, we'll be able to hold them to it. Hey,
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: you said you were going to get to do this.
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: Why didn't it happen or why did it happen? You know,
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: so that kind of stuff really intrigues me. You know,
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: are we going to get lobbyists and foreign countries and
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: APACs and all these different people out from interfering with
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: our candidates and interfering with our lobbies or how does
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: it work? And also, am I just delusional and I
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: just don't know the whole system? And, and if that's
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: the case and educate me on it, because there's also
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: just a cost of doing business in some things, you know,
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: like sometimes there's just, there's a cost of doing business,
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: you know, like you could go set up a fruit
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: stand or something or a little, a little watermelon stand
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: or something, a little banana shop or something on the
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: corner of a street. You could do that, but you
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: have to pay a permit, right? You have to, It's
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: just the cost of doing business. So sometimes I wonder
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: if there's, you know, what the truth is out there.
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: I want to learn more about that. Let's hear more. Sorry.
- 1:05:15Speaker 3: I've called you a few times. Anyhow, I just want
- 1:05:19Speaker 3: to say congratulations. I'm so happy for you that you
- 1:05:23Speaker 3: had the opportunity to go to D.C. on Inauguration Day.
- 1:05:27Speaker 3: I had actually said something to my husband over the
- 1:05:32Speaker 3: weekend that I sure hope the Elvon goes to Washington
- 1:05:35Speaker 3: to experience inauguration day.
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: Well, thanks ma'am or young lady or yeah. Thank you, miss.
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: I appreciate that.
- 1:05:43Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: Theovon went to Washington, I guess. Fievel goes West or whatever.
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: Fievel goes to section eight. That's going to be, maybe
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: I'll be able to be in that.
- 1:05:53Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: But Fievel was a mouse dude and he went West
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: and we're the rats baby. And we went East. So,
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: but thank you for thinking of me.
- 1:06:01Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: I was thinking about that too. I was like, how
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: can I not go? You know, So, yeah, thank you.
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: Let's hear more, Miss.
- 1:06:08Speaker 3: Because you, my friend, are so worthy and deserving to
- 1:06:15Speaker 3: have that opportunity. Countless, countless of us are so grateful.
- 1:06:21Speaker 3: Thank you for going. You truly deserve that. I was
- 1:06:24Speaker 3: so excited for you. And I just want to thank
- 1:06:28Speaker 3: you again for just having truly the best podcast that
- 1:06:32Speaker 3: I get so hyped to listen to. And you were
- 1:06:35Speaker 3: so deeply loved.
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: Well, thank you. Thank you. That's sweet of you to
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: say that. Um, that's nice of you to say, you know,
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: I did, I thought about my teachers from growing up.
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: I thought about my mom. I, I, I didn't steal,
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: but I took a couple extra napkins, um, because I
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: know my, my best friend's mom is going to want one.
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: My mom's going to want one probably. Um, Yeah, there's
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: a teacher or two if I get to see them
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: again that I would like to give them to. Just
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: little things like that. Yeah, and to see things you
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: like and don't like. You get to witness like, okay,
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: there's some stuff here that I feel like this. There's
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: some stuff here that I feel like that. Yeah, I
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: felt like, I don't know. I just couldn't believe it.
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: You know, to be real honest with you, I just
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: couldn't believe it. You know, I just couldn't believe that
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: I'm sitting in there and I'm at the damn... you know,
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: this is like the, they're doing the, the inauguration, you know? And, um,
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: and then the chair broke and I'm like, Oh, and
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: you're on the floor and you're like, Oh, this isn't good.
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: And then you just, I thought I'd, I was like,
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: please let me fall through to another world or whatever.
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: Like I looked over at Sam Altman and I was like, designer,
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: you know, I was like, send me into the matrix
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: right now, man. You know, don't make me have to
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: just get up and just be human. So that was
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: a lot.
- 1:08:15Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: Was it a lot? But anyway, it is just is
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: what it is, man. And the best part of it
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: was some rich lady scoffed at me. She's like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: As if she had to watch one of her own
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: dogs shit. You know, those people that are really rich.
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: They have someone else walk their dogs. So they never
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: really know that their dog's shit or whatever. She was like, whoa. God.
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: She like grabbed her husband's arm or something. I'm like, yeah,
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: you got it right. You sitting in the wrong section.
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: You in section eight, boo boo. These chairs busted as hell, brother.
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: So maybe we'll start making our chairs in fucking America.
- 1:09:00Speaker 4: Again.
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe we'll start taking some pride in
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: the things that we built, that we build, you know?
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: I don't know. I wonder what the future is going
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: to be like. You know, I wonder. And if we're
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: strong enough, man, it's weird. It's like the things that
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: I feel like are bad for me, sometimes it's hard
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: to stay away from. It's hard to keep using them.
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: You know, it's just, it's interesting. But I'm just happy
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: I get to be alive and play the game every day.
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: Sometimes I play it pretty good. Sometimes I don't. Sometimes
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: my attitude sucks. Like, yeah, dude, I was at the
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: ball or whatever. And the desserts, dude, I was just,
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: I wanted to get a drink or something. And then
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: I was like, I'm not drinking, you know. I'm not
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: doing it. I just been, I was just like, I
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: was kind of going through it. And so I fucking
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: said I'm going to get me some desserts, right? Because
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: sometimes if you want to drink, to stop that craving,
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: you get you some desserts, boy, you know. So I
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: tongue down a couple Petit Fours. Baby, let me bring
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: up a Petro one of them. God, they're good. They're beautiful.
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: They're good if they're good, but when they're not, they're
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: just a waste of your fucking calories. Petit Four. And
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: I'm the kind of guy, I'll put something in my mouth,
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: and if I decide once it's in there that it
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: ain't worth it, you're going to get that shit back, honey.
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: I'll put that shit in a napkin, baby. And hide
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: a little doggie bag somewhere behind a plant or something.
- 1:10:23Speaker 1: I don't give a damn. I'll fucking feed that bitch
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: to a sofa cushion after I take it out of
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: my mouth. I don't give a damn. Because I don't
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: eat bullshit sugars, dog. A petit four, also known as mignardesis, mignardesis,
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: is a small bite-sized confectionary or savory appetizer. The name
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: is French, petit four, meaning small oven.
- 1:10:47Speaker 3: Hmm.
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: That's small loving, baby. You know what I'm saying, huh? Damn, boy.
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: And Wayne Gretzky lost that freaking. He was spitting chiclets, dude.
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: Shout out to them. He had a. I'm upstairs, baby.
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: The Lord installed a window on his smile, baby. He
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: had that thing going. And shout out, Wayne, man. We
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: talked about his family. And I'm just clowning. He knows.
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: He had a great sense of humor. He's like, yeah,
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: usually I got a couple extra I keep on me.
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: But just moments like that, you're talking to the greatest
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: hockey player in the world and he's asking you how
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: you're doing. And then you're just helping somebody look for
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: a tooth in a fucking nice room. It's just like,
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: it's just the shit you kind of always dreamed about,
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: I guess, you know? Let me see if there's one
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: more question. Any questions you guys had, Nick or Zach?
- 1:11:43Speaker 2: I don't think so.
- 1:11:44Speaker 3: Are you looking for a voicemail? Can you hear me?
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: You notice anything on your mind about the election? Was
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: there anything?
- 1:11:51Speaker 4: You made a point. You post on Instagram about how
- 1:11:54Speaker 4: you think we need more than two parties.
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: That was interesting. Yeah, I think that's something, you know,
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: I think that's a big thing for me is that, hey,
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: how do you get more parties? Because I feel like
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: if they're. You know, if you if they're just. We
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: need more teams. Be more exciting. You know, and I
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: know there are more. People are like, there's the Green Party.
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: I know that. Let me see. How many political... Just
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: so we know, some of you guys are like, this idiot.
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: You don't know. The electoral system in the U.S. is
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: called a two-party system. That means two parties dominate the
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: political field. The two largest parties... Okay, minor parties. There's the, obviously,
- 1:12:48Speaker 1: so then you have Democratic and Republican. Those are your
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: two major. Your minor parties are the Libertarian Party. It
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: was founded December 11, 1972. As of March 2021, it
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: is the largest third party in the United States, claiming
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: nearly 700,000 registered voters across 28 states. The Green Party,
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying? Blow it in the air, baby,
- 1:13:13Speaker 1: that sticky icky. The Green Party has been active as
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: a third party since the 1980s. You know what I'm
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: talking about. Cheech and Chong, homie. That's what's up, baby.
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: Dope as Yola. The party first gained widespread public attention
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: during Ralph Nader's second presidential run in 2000. Okay. Okay.
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: And then the Constitution Party is a national conservative political
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: party in the United States. It was founded in the U.S.
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: tax as the U.S. Taxpayers Party in 1992 by Howard Phillips.
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: There's also the Alliance Party is a centrist American political
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: party was formed in 2018 and registered in 2019. And
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: the Vermont Progressive Party. So that are those are three, four,
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: five other parties. That's pretty cool. I would love to
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: just talk to Bernie Sanders again. That would be something
- 1:14:07Speaker 1: nice this year to learn a little bit more about
- 1:14:10Speaker 1: some stuff. Yeah, I think I've gotten more curious this year.
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: I feel more curious. And then just, yeah, some things
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: I want to do this year, trying to be better
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: to my friends. I think I can do it. Hang on.
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: And just take more time. It's not in my own
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: world and think about other people's worlds. That's one thing
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: that keeps me. Sometimes I just get stuck in my
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: own world. And then it's, it's not that I'm not
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: thinking about others. It's just, I'm thinking about me too
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: much or some things I have to do.
- 1:14:43Speaker 3: Right.
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: So there's some goals of mine. Anyway, sorry to ramble.

- 1:14:58Speaker 1: It did feel like things are, Changing, good or bad. Yeah,
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: that's the thing. Sometimes change, it's good, you don't know.
- 1:15:07Speaker 1: You know, it's like Bobby Kennedy. People said he was
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: a witch doctor or whatever. People said he was, what
- 1:15:15Speaker 1: were some of the things you heard? Oh, he worked
