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

  Speaker 5: compare myself to somebody else else, make myself seem like
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: I'm more than what it is. Like Guys, hey man,
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: I got I'm at this room. I got fifty tickets sold, Okay,
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: how much the room? See the room seat three hundred? Okay, cool?
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: You have fifty people more than you have then if
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: you didn't play the room. You know what I'm saying,
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: because who knows you in Utah?
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Your building?
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: It's a building thing Like I got all of this,
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: all of this going on. But if I go to Utah,
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: I'm in a comedy club. It doesn't matter what happened
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: the night before. I was just an arena. But in
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: you tall it's like it takes me back to on
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: trading places. I'm saying, he said, hey, man, this is
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: he gave. He gives all this elaborate what this watch is,
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: and that man said, this is what this calls in saying,
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: Look like, I don't care about you pawning the watch.
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: I'm saying, so I don't have that, and I'm not
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: if I It's like you you you own a club, Okay,
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: it's guys that can come to your club and sell
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: your club out. And then it's guys that come to
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: the club and you pay for the room. Okay, then
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: there's guys like when you're in the theater.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Some you can scale a theater down.
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: Some theaters hold forty six hundred people, but you can
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: scale it down to two thousand. But then the I'm
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: not going to say, if the room holds forty six hundred,
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: I put two thousand tickets on sale. I didn't sell
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: out the theater. I sold what I put on sale.
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, Because I'm not to the
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: point where I can get the forty six hundred. Yet
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: if I could sell the room out, then I would
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: need to relish the real accomplishment versus the the lesser accomplishment. Yeah,
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: and that's and because I don't have this thing where
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: I'm in competition with what happened before me, you.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: Know, so with people.
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: So I'm in San Antonio, we at we're at the theater.
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: And because people can make you feel bad about anything.
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: If you if you a person that feels bad, just
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: think Minnesota. It's it's all these people that's on the
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: team that that play for the Boston Celtics that are millionaires.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: They already millionaires, they play in the league.
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: Boston traded seven people to Minnesota for one person, Kevin Garnett.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: They got rid of seven human being for one person.
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: So it's like, if I was a person that felt
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: bad about my career, this would would make me feel bad.
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: Like they they like the first person that they the
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: oklaha'ma trade this person for that?
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: They're like, no, Well, I'm gonna give you two more people.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: They're like no, and then I'm.
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: Gonna give you four more people like okay, and and
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: and a lottery pick. Okay, I'm gonna feel horrible.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: They traded me for seven people.
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: Y'all don't even want me realistically, So Boston went they
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: got Kevin Garnett. I mean, what's this. Yeah, Kevin Garnett
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: and seven other millionaires. They got all this money. This
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: got all this They went to Minnesota, you know what I'm saying.
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: So if somebody wanted to make you feel bad about something,
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: you know, they they could if that's how you are.
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: So I'm at I'm in San Antonio. The line is
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: around the block. The place is sold out. It's the
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: same sell out no matter who comes. Like that, lady
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: said to my face tomorrow, you should have saw when
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: mad Rife came.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: Ain't my mind like?
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: And I asked, I say, was it a different theater?
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: She said, no, same theater. So when Matt Rife came,
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: he sold it out. I sold out two nights, I
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: mean two days in the same night.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: But her thing was, you should have saw when mad
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Rife came.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: I was like, Okay, she probably wanted you to feel bad.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: It's like, but I'm not good for you. Good for you.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: But the thing is a lot of people would That's
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: what it is. A lot of people are in competition
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: with other people. I think you should be inspired by
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: other people, you know, if you want to compete in
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: that way, be inspired but the moment you turn it
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: into a negative, it's like, are you're you're a fool,
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: You're being a fool.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Competing charity.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: Also, inspiration is power. It's fuel. You see someone doing well,
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: so you see someone set and you like it. That's
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: fuel that makes you want to go work, makes you
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: want to get some shit done, makes you It gives
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: you energy, or it could cripple you if you're a dummy.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: If you're a dummy and you get angry and you
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: get bitter, and then you just put all this negativity
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: on the person who's doing better than you, which is
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: a lot of people do.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: That's so weird.
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: That's a weird dynamics in this business when you know
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: that it's going to be people, no matter what you're doing,
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: it's going to be somebody doing better than you. When
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: I was in comedy clubs, I remember being there and
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: they were paper in the room. Okay, I wasn't saying
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: I was selling out, they was papering. I know, out
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: of all of its three hundred people in here, two
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: hundred and forty of these people came because it was
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: it was freezing. They sent out they email blast.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: But then what I looked at was they wanted to come.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it wanted to come to probably comedy fans, which
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: is why they're on the email list in the first place.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: And then those people, you give them great show, they'll
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: come back.
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: Then the next time I came, they didn't pay for
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: the room. They sold it. They sold the tickets.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: That's how it used to be. Man, that was the
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: old days, before social media. You would build a market,
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: so you would just show up at Philadelphia once a year,
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: show up, do your homework, like, make sure you got
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: a tight set, you've been practicing, you're ready to rock.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: You fuck these people up, and then leave and then
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: they're like, can't wait till you guys are back again.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: And then next time you come back, you know, all right,
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: I built an audience. Now I can't disappoint these people.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: I gotta get fired up. And that's what it used
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: to be. It used to be a totally organic thing
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: across the whole country.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Is it a thing?
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: Is it a difference in your opinion, between me bringing
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: my audience to a venue from whatever other thing that
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: I do, versus people coming that don't know anything about me,
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: and me winning that person over versus the It's.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: Different Yeah, it's a different thing. You know people are
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: coming to see you specifically you've already won them over.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: That's a different thing. Or they want to take a
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: chance on you. That's a different thing because I've heard
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: about you. But when you know, that's a completely different
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: thing because that's your You have an audience. Now, you
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: have fans. When you are just performing at a club
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: and it's a papered room, you have an opportunity. You
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: have an opportunity to turn these people into fans. You
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: have an opportunity to give these people a great night
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: and have a good time. And also you're doing your
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: fucking thing, which is the most important thing of all.
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: Everybody is results oriented. I try to be process oriented
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: when I with everything I do, I'm process oriented. I
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: think about there's a goal that you got to reach,
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: but how do you get to that goal. The way
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: you get there is not thinking about the goal. The
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: way you get there is thinking about what you're doing.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: What's the process. The process is writing bits, performing them,
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: tweaking them, getting them tight, knowing, reviewing tapes, going over
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: your material. You're going over your writing, talking with friends,
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: and then every day it gets a little bigger. Every day,
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: it gets a little better. Every day, that knife gets
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: a little sharper. That's the process. That's the process that
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: leads you to become whoever whoever.
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: You are, and then you add other low pieces in
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: that process. I remember I was talking to Bobby Lee
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: and me and Bobby Lee talking. I said, Bobby, you
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: don't realize where you met me at. And He's like, well,
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: it's just a good it's going to be a good
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: story as a bad stories. I said, you met me
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: at at the Houston Improv. And they called me and
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: asked me, did I want to host a room that
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: I already sell out? You know what I'm saying. They
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: asked me that I want to host. I said cool.
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: So I came and I hosted and I was not
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: trying to, but I was destroying his feature. I'm just hosting.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: We should not be hosting, and especially at the Houston Improv.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: But my thing was this is years this is years ago.
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: But I say, Bobby, you didn't understand when the when
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: I was hosting at the Houston Improv, I was doing
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: something that most people didn't understand why I was even
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: doing it, well, like what and they would see like
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: why would you be hosting, I said, because I'm not
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: going to be in front of Bobby Lee's audience. But
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: it's people that live in Houston, that his audience that
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: I have no idea, that have no idea who I am,
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: I said, Bobby. But before you, I said, I was
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: coming to the Houston improv hosting for multiple people, and
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: I was just winning over fans that would never have
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: seen me. If they wasn't coming to see you, they
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: wouldn't be coming to my show.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: I said.
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: So before that it was you were last Bobby, it
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: was you, and the week prior to that it was
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: Monster Brownie, and the week prior to that was what's
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: my girl?
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: Angela?
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: Johnson answered Johnson. And before that it was some random
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: white guy. I said, I just came and I want
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: to do. I'm a comic, so me hosting was no
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: big deal. I wasn't working, so I said, well, let
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: me just come hosted. That's what they want me to do.
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: So I gained fans from four different audiences in a month.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: So when I came.
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: Back, they was like, yo, I saw you with mars
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: Jebranni and so I came back. I came back to
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: see you when you when you put your show up.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: I'm like cool.
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: So my process that was a part of my process.
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: It didn't matter who I hosted for. And then I
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: was like, okay, cool, you know, let me let me go.
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: Like when I.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Hosted for Bill Burr. Bill Burr was like, this is crazy.
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: We had we in Austin at the Paramount and I said,
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: I said, the worst thing about this was that at
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: the time, I was wearing all black and I went
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: to the show and when I walked on stage, the
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: first thing I said is, Hey, I do not work here.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Don't like eight people ask me where's the bathroom?
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't work.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: But it was like I look like an usher. Yo.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, this sucks. But it was a cool game.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: Laro. That's a smart approach. I mean, that's a great
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: way to build, especially if you're already headlining. Yeah. I
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: think I think that that thing about concentrating on the process,
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: people should try to apply that to everything. You know,
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: my friend John Dudley, who taught me archery, he's a
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: big believer in that being process oriented, like so you
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: get better at archery, and he used to compete all
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: over the world travel compete in archery tournaments. I think
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: that's the I think that applies to everything. I think
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: that applies to music. I think that applies to everything.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: The more I think it's one of the things that
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: trips people up about social media. A lot of these
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: young guys, in particular, young people in Particut killer is
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: that they are thinking about other people, and they are
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: comparing themselves to other people, and they are looking at
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: those numbers, and you're you're looking you're spending all of
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: your energy. If you haven't allotted one hundred units of
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: energy in a day, you're spending a disproportionate amount on
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: things that don't empower you and actually kind of fuck
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: your head up, not good for you at all. Instead
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: of saying, Wow, I am chasing the fucking dream, right,
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: I am out here being a professional comedian, and I
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: have a real chance to develop a real following. If
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: I put my time in, I put I really care
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: and I really work hard. I could sell out a
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: theater one day. That's possible. Like that's a goal. That
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: should be a goal, just like getting your PhD in
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: chemistry or whatever the fuck it is. Your goal is.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: But the process is what's important. The process is like
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: appreciating what you're doing, why you're doing it, and just
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: bearing down and doing your best. That's it.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: And in other people you look at them as inspiration,
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: other people that are kicking ass. You know, don't go
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: don't become a hater. That shit is so bad for you.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: I know so many dudes who have like hater tendencies,
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: and they never excel. Never. It's the the counter thinking
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: of an excellent person is a hater. Someone is always
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: trying to diminish people and downplay people and look at
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: someone in the least charitable way and the worst possible
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: way to somehow another trying to make themselves feel better.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: But it doesn't work. It does the opposite of work.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: It robs you. It robs you of your self esteem,
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: it robs you of your self respect. You spend so
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: much time thinking about this other dude, like why, it's.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: A lot of it's a lot of energy.
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: And my dad, it's one this is one story that
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: I did not put in the special that I should have.
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: And my dad had all these these thoughts and he
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: was I liveally say he was a crazy man. But
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: when you think about the things that he would say
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: made sense my dad, and why would you be telling
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: me this at the age each that?
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: But he just gave them.
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: I think I was like eleven and my dad out
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: of nowhere and say, you know something, people spend spend
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: the same time and money on being fake when they
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: can put put that same time and money into being real. Yeah,
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: And I'm like, I didn't know, I understand what that meant.
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: But as I got older, if you spend any money
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: or time faking something, you could probably spend that money
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: and time being real about something. You know, why go
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: buy a fake necklace to attack like you rich when
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: you can go buy a real necklace what I'm saying
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: at some point what I'm saying, and you know, be
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: actually be rich, you know if that's what if you
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: get compared it to necklaces. But I just didn't understand
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: it at the time. But then as I got older,
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: I understood, like, why put this, Why put this time
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: in and to pretending when you can put that same
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: energy and then become real at what you do.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: And that makes no sense.
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: My uncle Vinny, when I was six or seven years old,
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: I was staying at it at his house with my cousins,
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: and uh, we were we were supposed to brush our teeth,
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: and I didn't like following rules period, and so I
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: wouldn't brush my teeth. Instead, I would take toothpaste and
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: mushing around on my teeth and so that when they
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: smelled my breath, they would smell toothpaste. And my uncle
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: explained to me, he goes, he goes, Uh, I understand
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: why you're doing it, he goes, But the amount of
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: time that you're spending pretending to brush your teeth, you
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: could have just brushed your teeth. And I thought about
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: that when I was six. I was like, damn. I
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: was just a little kid. But I was like, Hi,
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: he's right, Why am I faking brushing? My uncle Vinie
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: was like super patient, super calm at all my my
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: family members. He was the strangest out of all these wild,
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: crazy Italian people like he was. He was an artist,
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: and he was like very soft spoken and never got
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: angry about anything. I'd always speak really rationally. I was like, God,
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: he's so smart, it's so peaceful. He just but the
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: way he laid it out, when he didn't say, Hey,
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: I know you're not brushing your teeth, you little fuck?
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: What's that? It was the time you're spending pretending to
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: brush your teeth. You could have just brushed your teeth.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: But it was like sometimes adults will say something to
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: you like that when you're six, and it just gets
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: in your head and you're like, whoa, Okay, that just
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: saved me a whole lot of time to brush them.
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: Just brush your fucking teeth. Stop pretending. Stop faking. It
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: doesn't help anything. It does the opposite.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Does the opposite.
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: And you know, people, the truth sometimes is hurtful to people.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: The truth doesn't feel good, you know, to a lot
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: of people, unfortunately. But you know, you have to look
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: at it, you have to have perspective.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: But that's the ultimate hate right there. That's the ultimate hate,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: is for me to give you a falsehood instead of
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: take you the truth.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: Right that's the ultimate It's the ultimate hate, especially if
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: like you're making up a background for yourself, you're making
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: up a story about your life that's not true. You're
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: pretending you're somewhere in life that you're not.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: You know, yo, man, just do the thing, Just do
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: the thing.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: But it's hard for people. It's hard for people. And
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: then there's a lot of people that think you just
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: fake it until you make it, and then you hear
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: stories I got I had five hundred dollars in my
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: bank account, but I told them I got this, I
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: got that loan, And next thing you know, my business
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: is making all this money, and you go, wow, he
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: faked it until he maked it and it worked, and you.
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: Think so few and forward. Then they never tell you
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: that that got go was the jail later.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: For fraud a hundred percent.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: The fans busted my ales three years later and took
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: everything like, okay.
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: Exactly like when they arrested carlsmans here recently, fee like
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: all those counts of tax fraud. I was like, okay,
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: I don't want that to happen to him, but there
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: it is, right. I mean, that's what.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: I'm not laughing at, Carlos. I'm just laughing the fact
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: that you like, yeah, yeah, when they busted.
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: I mean I didn't, I wasn't. Didn't bring me any
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: joy to see that. I don't like anybody getting arrested
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: for taxes. I think. I think taxes until they have
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: an accurate account of where the fucking money goes, and
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: until you completely eliminate all fraud and waste. What the
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: fuck are you doing locking people up for not paying taxes?
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: Like you guys should get locked up for not doing
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: a good job with our money.
• 38:03
  Speaker 5: So what did you think about all the new purchases
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: in redoing the White House and all this with tax dollars?
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: Did they do with tax dollars? How much money do
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: they spend in tax dollars to do the ballrooms? We'll
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: find out. What's that They need a ballroom though? That's
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: how that guy snuck in with a gun because they
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: tried to do that White House correspondence dinner in a hotel.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: That dude who got arrested a few months back.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: What's this? This?
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: This resolution? The pool? Something full of algae right now
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: that we spent on.
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: The Yeah, I don't know about that. That's something about
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: making the pool look nice. But whatever that is, reflecting pool, yeah,
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: to reflect. Reports indicate the new White House East Wing
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: ballroom is projected to cost about six hundred million, with
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: roughly half just over three hundred million, coming from taxpayer
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: funded government accounts, despite earlier promises that it would be
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: taxpayer free. Three hundred millions sounds like a lot until
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: you find out how much money they spent on other things.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: When you find out how much just how much fraud
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: it is in NGOs, how much fraud is in nonprofits,
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: how much fraud is in insider trading and propping up
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: companies so that they can get better deals. Well, the
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: whole thing is fraud.
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: The thing is if you spending I understand how much
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: money goes and other things, but if you spending any
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: money that that that's my money that I don't know
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: that I need it or that's not really the aim
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: the goal.
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: You should be able to vote on it, you sho
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: You should be able to vote on where all your
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: tax money goes.
• 39:38
  Speaker 5: How much money is, how much tax money is being
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: spilled to own getting smart people in places of getting
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: smart making smart children.
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: That's the big one.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: That's the that's the thing.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: The big one is if you look at our country
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: as a community and that's what we're supposed to be doing.
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: We're supposed to be the United States of America, all
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: that bull should decide. That was the one good thing
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: that happened about nine to eleven. When nine to eleven happened,
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: after that, we were all united. It was crazy. It
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: was crazy. We realized like we are actually on a team.
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: So if we're on a team, why do we have
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: these deeply impoverished neighborhoods for decades and decades that are
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: riddled with crime and drug abuse? Why is it impossible
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: to fix That's crazy, that's not true. It's just no
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: one's tried to fix it. No one's done any effort
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: to fix it. And if you did fix it, you
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: want to make America great, here's the best way. Less losers?
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: And how do you get less losers? More opportunities for people,
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: more opportunities, more support, more education, more everything that you
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: need if it was your neighborhood. And if we did that,
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: we'd have to switch the way our system runs. But
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: that could be done. Man, they don't have to have losers,
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: not that many.
• 40:49
  Speaker 5: That's the thing about make America great, right, If you're
• 40:54
  Speaker 5: trying to make anything great, don't you need intelligent people
• 40:56
  Speaker 5: to do that?
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: Of course?
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: Number one thing, so when we.
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: Have all these divisive people that that's on a lower vibration,
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: how is that making the country the country great? If
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: we're putting people in position that don't have the experience
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: or the education in those things, and then we're just
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: saying a bunch of divisive things.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: You know, you know, it's it was if I'm.
• 41:29
  Speaker 5: Watching the extravaganza that happened in the White House, What.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: Was the thing?
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: Michelle Obama is a man? Like, how did that help?
• 41:38
  Speaker 5: How did that help?
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: That guy says that every time he.
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: But what is the what is the the thing?
• 41:44
  Speaker 5: First of all, it's it's really divisive because you know
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: that a large portion of the country's gonna take this,
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: that's gonna have a problem with this. You know, clearly
• 41:54
  Speaker 5: she's not a man. You know what I'm saying, But
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: it makes no sense. Like two, I've never seen this
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: many people say so many damaging things.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: About a past president.
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: It's like he's still on the forefront and it's not
• 42:09
  Speaker 5: like we have a president that's doing the greatest job
• 42:12
  Speaker 5: for this this country. You know, which is which is
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: weird or weird thing to me? And people going to ask,
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: is that was the belief? That's the that's the real
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: belief of people, that's the real thing.
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: Well, listen, there's some crazy people that believe the world
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: is flat. There's a lot of dumb beliefs. There's probably
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: people that do believe Michelle Obama's a man. What that
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: guy does, He's like a pro wrestler. Like he's got
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: a character called the Incredible Hulk. It's very corny in
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: a lot of ways. Sometimes it's you know, cringey. But
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: the point is he gets a lot of attention, a
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: lot of attention because of all this. That's what he's doing.
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: So what he's trying to do is maximize the amount
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: of attention that he can get for a very short
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: window of career. This is not how he really feels,
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: how he really thinks when you talk to him in
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: real life. Very reasonable. This is an act that he does,
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: like a pro wrestling act. But what he can do
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: is fight. He's really good, and that's what's so confusing
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: about it all. So you got this guy who's created
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: like this fake persona where he puts on an American
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: flag bandan it comes out the Haul Cogan music does
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: all his interviews with sunglasses on, has a bunch of crazy,
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: silly rhymes and says ridiculous shit, just trying to get attention,
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: the most amount of attention. So it is very divisive,
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: don't get me wrong, but that's by design.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: So he's Haul Hogan and Randy Savage in the same.
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: Actual fighter a really fucking good one man. He just
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: knocked out Derek Lewis at the White House. Derek Lewis
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: has the most knockouts in the history of that.
• 43:38
  Speaker 5: Don't don't, don't, don't do that, don't do that, don't
• 43:41
  Speaker 5: do what this, don't don't, don't say that's so excited
• 43:45
  Speaker 5: because Derek Lewis goes to the same gym on Main
• 43:48
  Speaker 5: Street boxing Jimmy Houston.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: I'm very close to that, dude.
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: I love Derek.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: I don't like the fact that Derek Lewis lost that fight.
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: I think is Derek Derek of ten years ago would
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: have been a real fucking problem for dude, because Derek
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: of ten years ago, you couldn't hold him down. He
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: would just get up. There's a whole compilation of people
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: trying to hold Derek Lewis down. He just gets a
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: hand on you and just whoop his grip. They did
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: that UFC grip thing where they test the grip. Everybody's
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: like one forty. The strong ones are like one sixty one.
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: Night Derek just squeezed it casual to eighteen and they
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: were like, what the fuck?
• 44:24
  Speaker 5: So you see how problematic this was for me? You
• 44:26
  Speaker 5: already beat my friend. Then you turn around and.
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: Say he beat a forty year old Derek.
• 44:31
  Speaker 5: A forty old Derek Lewis didn't turn around and say
• 44:34
  Speaker 5: Michelle Obama's man.
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: I was like, Okay, you know what you're saying.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: I'm pissed.
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: You're right. Listen, you're right. But I'm telling you, if
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: you met that dude in real life, you would get it.
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: He's just a dude. He's just a guy who is
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: a competitive wrestler, played in the NFL, and he's like,
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: I got to do something to figure out how to
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: get people to pay attention to me, because it can't
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: just be fighting. It's not enough. If you look at
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: Connor McGregor, get Sugarshan O'Malley, you look at these guys
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: that have these flamboyant personalities, these big personalities, they get
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: Casius Clay's the original example. They get an immense amount
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: of attention and that translates into much more money and
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: much more opportunities. There's no fucking way that guy would
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: have gotten that fight at the White House if you
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: couldn't fight, because the fight that he had before that,
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: he fought Curtis Bladze, who was a top ten UFC heavyweight,
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: huge wrestler, and they went to war. Dude. I mean
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: he put it on him for three fucking rounds. Like
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: Curtis just has an insane heart and survived it. But
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: that guy can fucking fight. But just that alone's not enough.
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: But you gotta get attention. I don't agree with it.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't do it. It's not my thing. I don't

  Speaker 3: like it, right, but I get it and it's smart.
• 45:46
  Speaker 5: Well, Muhammad Ali though he was very respectful in his
• 45:50
  Speaker 5: in his in his act, you know, to get attention,
• 45:53
  Speaker 5: you know.
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: Just how he wasn't. I mean he wasn't with other people.
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: But he would show up at fucking Sonny Liston's house
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: and scream about him on his fucking front lawn at
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: four in the morning. He did wild, crazy shit. He
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: he did it. He did a lot of why. He
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: was just all about getting your heart rate up, getting
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: your emotions in there. He was so fucking smart. He
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: knew before everybody that you could just get somebody into
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: a frenzy and they wouldn't be able to sleep. Their
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: whole life revolved around fighting you And I can't let
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: this guy beat me in the fear of losing. He's
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: gonna keep you weak. It's gonna keep you You're not
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: gonna be able to eat as much food. You're gonna
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: feel nervous.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: But you see what happened when somebody called him claim.
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh yeah, he was that what fighter was
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: that he kept punishing.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna but that that didn't work out for him. Well,
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: and he beat the He.
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: Beat him, and he carried him. He carried him. He
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: was beating his ass. Dude. He was a special, special guy.
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: It's you know, I'm not comparing him in terms of
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: his cultural significance to Josh Hokit because you know he was.
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: My parents, my mother and my stepfather were hippies. They
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: never watched fighting. But when he had a rematch with
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: Leon Spinks, that's how much of a cultural figure he was.
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: They wanted him to beat Leon Spinks. Oh my god,
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: he's gotta win. He's got to win. Hippies sitting in
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: front of the fucking TV in like nineteen seventy whatever.
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: It was crazy, that is they have Italian hippies. Because
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: I heard it was like, my family, they don't like that.
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: I thought they was Italian Italian.
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: Well they were hippies. But you know, my grandmother went
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: to jail for running numbers for the mob. So it's
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: like there was a lot of okay, there was a
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: lot of Yeah, Grandma went away for a little bit.
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: She wouldn't rat him out, so she did some time.
• 47:49
  Speaker 5: I was at a I was at a show one
• 47:50
  Speaker 5: time and I said, well, all the Africans and in
• 47:56
  Speaker 5: in here, and this Italian dude he's from Sicily. He
• 48:01
  Speaker 5: raised his hand and I said, and the people like,
• 48:06
  Speaker 5: why is he raising him? Like he knows, he knows.
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: He was like, yeah, it's really good reason why Sicilians
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: have darker hair, curly hair, darker skin.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: He's like yeah, and that's all I said was he knows.
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: And and people who got it it was like right.
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: And at that point it's like when people don't know
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: that that you have some sort of level of intelligence information,
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: it was like, whoa, Okay, it's a it's a big
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: but that's that's funny though Italian.
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: But my mother also, well, yeah, there's a lot of
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: hippiets back then, man, And I think the original idea
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: behind it was great. And I was just watching this
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: thing today about the c I A and LSD and
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: what they did. It was really funny, man. It was
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: a yeah, isn't it dope? See if you can find it,
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: put it up because it's kind of cool.
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: I'm conveniently an mk ULTRAE hearing going on right now in.
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: The Oh how convenient Colson bro that they I got
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: it right here, Jamie. I'll sent it to you. They
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: one hundred percent are still doing that. No if answer,
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: butts if you think they did that in the sixties
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: and then one hundred percent did if they're doing mind
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: control experiments on people, and they're influencing people's opinions. And
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: half of the reason why people were at odds with
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: each other all day long on it online is probably
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: government intervention. At one point. There's some government's intervention. This
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: is just not ours, Russia and China and.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: This is wow.
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: That Yeah, they created the hippie movement, and your mom's
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: favorite band probably helped them. In the nineteen fifties, the
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: CIA bought up the world supply of LSD. They brought
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: it to the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly, who reverse engineered it,
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: giving them an unlimited supply and a complete monopoly. Then
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: the testing started. One early volunteer for these tests was
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: Ken Keasey. Kesey wrote a book inspired by this experience,
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: which became a bestseller. Then Kesey went on to host
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: events which he called acid tests, and he wasn't charging anyone.
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: He just wanted people to show up and do acid.
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: For these events, he hired an unknown house band called
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: The Grateful Dead. These events became wildly popular, and with
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: them rose the popularity of the band. So the Grateful
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: Dead begins touring and Kesey follows them around in a
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: bus from show to show, and everywhere he went he
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: brought a bat full of kool A laced with LSD.
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: This guy had a.
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: Seemingly endless supply, exporting the hippie culture all around the US. Meanwhile,
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: the CIA is flooding college campuses with LSD under the
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: guise of research, and the Grateful Dead was just one
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: of many bands in this movement. At the same time,
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: in Laurel Canyon came a wave of musicians with something
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: in common. They were all children of high ranking military officials.
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: The biggest names in music. Jim Morrison of The Doors
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: was the son of an admiral. Frank Zappa's father was
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: a chemical warfare Specialist, even Crosby, Stills and Nash, Yeah,
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: all three of them, and all of these bands as well.
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: The theory is the CIA orchestrated the hippie movement to
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: steer a very real anti war movement into something a
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: little easier to combat, descent without teeth. The hippie slogan
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: was literally turn.
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: On, tune in, and drop out.
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: In other words, do acid and remove yourself from society,
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: and a lot of them did drop out of society
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: to go live in communes in the woods. This intersection
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: between hippie culture and the CIA could all be a great,
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: big coincidence. Maybe military brats naturally want to rebel, and
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: maybe the CIA was giving away acid because they're.
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: Chill like that.
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: Maybe the CIA created the hippie movement and your mom's
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: favorite band probably helped them.
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, is that wild?
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: That's crazy?
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: That's wild. They also had a big influence on gangster rap,
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: big influence on promoting gangster for one hundred. Yeah, they
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: wanted to fill prisons.
• 51:55
  Speaker 5: You want you want to push that over anything else,
• 51:58
  Speaker 5: you know, because we can look at how rap music
• 52:00
  Speaker 5: changed and get it changed, you know, nineteen ninety two, Yeah,
• 52:05
  Speaker 5: after nineteen ninety two, they was like, no more positive rap.
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: Well, it was whenever Straight out of Compton came out,
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: because I was in Boston at the time, I would
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: remember to the day it happened.
• 52:16
  Speaker 5: But Straight out of Compton wasn't a drug feel induced out.
• 52:22
  Speaker 5: It was if you look at some of the salt,
• 52:24
  Speaker 5: you look at a lot of the songs that was
• 52:25
  Speaker 5: on an album, it was rebellious songs.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: Against the system, you know, fuck the police.
• 52:32
  Speaker 5: And then nineteen ninety two, man, when they decided, Yo,
• 52:37
  Speaker 5: we don't want no more day La Soul, we don't
• 52:40
  Speaker 5: no more trial call quest, we don't want no you
• 52:42
  Speaker 5: get them leather medallions off your It's like, yo, we
• 52:48
  Speaker 5: need we need like yo, they like self destruction and
• 52:54
  Speaker 5: West Coast West Coast All Stars. They was like what
• 52:57
  Speaker 5: they coming together? No, no, you know, we need this
• 53:02
  Speaker 5: to be divisive. We need them to separate. And that's
• 53:05
  Speaker 5: crazy that the biggest times that I've experienced this country
• 53:10
  Speaker 5: being together was the Olympics when the Dream Team came
• 53:17
  Speaker 5: nine eleven and COVID. That's the biggest time that we
• 53:22
  Speaker 5: the three biggest times I've ever seen us together.
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because we need something, We need something that's real.
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: We need some sort of an event that makes us realize,
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: first of all the fragility of life. That's important, and
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: we have to realize that we're all supposed to be
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: a part of a team.
• 53:40
  Speaker 5: And you can't play on a team if your teammates
• 53:45
  Speaker 5: don't think that you that you're valuable.
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: Not only that, you can't play on a team if
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: your teammates are poisoning you, if your teammates are allowing
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: you to eat rotten food so that you can't play,
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: and maybe giving you inferior gear on purpose, and maybe
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: keeping you in a place where you can't get sleep
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: so that you're not gonna evolve. You're not gonna like.
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: You're always gonna be tired, You're gonna be fatigued, so
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: you're never gonna get better at whatever the fuck it
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: is you're doing. You're never gonna advance in life. You're
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: gonna be tired, you're gonna be on drugs, You're gonna
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: be poor. This episode is brought to you by Armor.
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: Every week there's some new wellness hack that people swear by,
• 54:21
  Speaker 3: and after a while you start thinking, why do we
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: think we can just outsmart our bodies? That's why armor
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: colosstrum caught my attention. It's something the body already recognizes
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: and has hundreds of these specialized nutrients for gut stuff, immunity, metabolism,
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: et cetera. I first noticed it working around training, especially
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: workout recovery. Most stuff falls off, but I am still
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: taking this. If you want to try, Armor is offering
• 54:48
  Speaker 3: my listeners thirty percent off plus two free gifts. Go
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: to armor dot com slash rogan. This is how I
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: see that's not a good team.
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: This is how I see with parenting.
• 55:00
  Speaker 5: It's hard to parent it if your number one goal
• 55:03
  Speaker 5: is survival, right, you know what I'm saying, it's hard
• 55:06
  Speaker 5: to parent. You know you you got a parent from
• 55:09
  Speaker 5: a comfortable space. You can't parent from nervous Chickens really
• 55:14
  Speaker 5: don't lay eggs. So the thing is you if like
• 55:21
  Speaker 5: the way I parent now versus how my mom. My
• 55:24
  Speaker 5: mom was strictly survival. So my thing is survival first,
• 55:28
  Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. Then the rest of it.
• 55:31
  Speaker 5: You know, I don't remember going to on vacation with
• 55:37
  Speaker 5: my parents. You know, like vacation what you wund working
• 55:43
  Speaker 5: through jobs and going to school, trying to better les.
• 55:45
  Speaker 5: She just taking care of you, So I'm not my
• 55:49
  Speaker 5: kids go on vacation.
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: You know, it's different.
• 55:53
  Speaker 5: You know, so I see things from both sides all
• 55:59
  Speaker 5: the time because I'm in, which makes me grateful.
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: I'm grateful that I can do the things I.
• 56:04
  Speaker 5: Can do with my family, what I'm saying versus parenting
• 56:08
  Speaker 5: from a place of frustration, you know. But I understand this,
• 56:14
  Speaker 5: this this frustration thing. You know, I'm trying to take
• 56:17
  Speaker 5: care of you, and you know, and then sometimes I
• 56:20
  Speaker 5: look at my kids, like, you know something, you have
• 56:22
  Speaker 5: it really easy because if I wouldn't have washed them dishes,
• 56:25
  Speaker 5: my mom would have destroyed.
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: Me because her mind said this, Hey, I'm trying to
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: take care of y'all. Can y'all got the help in this?
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: You know? With me, it was like we have a housekeeper,
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: the housekeeper coming in four days out the week, you know,
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: and now I'm like.
• 56:44
  Speaker 5: So you just gonna throw that stuff on the floor,
• 56:47
  Speaker 5: and you're making it hard for the housekeeper.
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: You know. The reason why she's here four days a
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: week is so to make your life easier. But you you're.
• 56:54
  Speaker 5: Adding on to by being lazy, by being lazy, like like,
• 56:58
  Speaker 5: I don't this.
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: Balance in that right. You want to protect your children,
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: but you don't want them to develop soft. You want
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: them to be able to take care of their own problems,
• 57:11
  Speaker 3: and you want them to be able to understand the
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: consequences of their actions. So this is like fine line
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: of like encouragement and punishment and like explaining to them
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: how your life was different and you have to appreciate
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: this life. This is very unusual. You're super fortunate. But
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: I think ultimately what they learn from is how you
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: behave That's a giant part of being a parent that
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: people I don't think are totally aware of until you
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: start doing it, that they understand. Whatever the fuck you
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: say is one thing that's great what you do. What
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: you do is what they really say. And if you're
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: a lazy fucker who is always making excuses, your kids
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: are gonna not have respect for you. They're gonna know,
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: like real early on, you're kind of full shit.
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: This is the craziest thing, though.
• 57:57
  Speaker 5: You know how hard it is to put some of
• 57:59
  Speaker 5: my own punishment and then say, hey, pack, we're going
• 58:03
  Speaker 5: to Cabo.
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: He's like, and my own punishment.
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: We're going to Como get your iPad for sixteen hours.
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: When we get the cobo. You stay in your room
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: and overlook the ocean and think about your consequences, and
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: you order room service.
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: And drinking coke and cola, eating French fries.
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: Lamb chops come into the room. It's like, yo, you
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: won't punish me, dude, And then so I can't, so
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: I can't have oysters.
• 58:33
  Speaker 3: Like here the birds chirping, You're.
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: Looking at the waves and likes it's rough and it's
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: being it's a it's a certain part of success that
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: you almost can't.
• 58:50
  Speaker 5: Punish because it's like, I'm not staying at home because
• 58:56
  Speaker 5: you don't punishment. See my mom was she it's just different,

• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: you what shows would you sit down and watch with
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: your kids?
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 5: You know they have to watch the shows that I
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 5: grew up watching. You know, you got to go back
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 5: you got to watch Perry Mason and the Family Matters
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 5: and you know the Cosby Show.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: You know, different world.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 5: We had to go back and watch good Times, you know,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 5: can't watch the current things, you know, so you know,
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 5: even with comedy. I took I took Hassan to a
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 5: comedy show with me to see some friends, and he
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 5: was fourteen at the time, and we left because it
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 5: was no it was nothing. The things that were being said.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 5: It kind of made me go back to when Cosby
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 5: did the story about his son going to see Eddie
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 5: Murphy and his.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 3: Daddy said these things.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: And I was sitting there, like, after the first two minutes,
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, we gotta get out of how old
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: was fourteen?
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: Fourteen too young? And I'm like, yo, man, But I
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 3: mean the guy who's doing comedy's doing comedy for adults
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 3: that are drinking in an.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 5: No we at We was at an event where it
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 5: was all these bodybuilders. The gym Next Level had did
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 5: a show for all the the the people they work
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 5: out there and the trainers, and I'm thinking, Okay, this
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 5: is at a ballroom, you know, it's probably gonna be
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 5: pretty cool. And I stopped in, you know, we set
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 5: in the back and then it went left and I
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 5: was like, hey man, let's get out of here. And
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 5: he's seen me, and so he's like, nah, this ain't
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 5: This ain't the same.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I'm not.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 5: I'm not going for a certain type of laugh I'm
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 5: not doing shock value, you know. So he's watched almost
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 5: all the specials, you know, so it's not the it's
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 5: not the same for for him, you know. And he
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 5: looked he knows a lot of comics, so it's it's
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 5: not this wasn't conducive.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: I was like, how song we out out of here.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 5: It's like, but it's some comments. You can go and
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 5: you can watch their whole show. Like Marcus D. Wiley,
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 5: he can get an understanding of least marriage, you know,
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 5: how marriage goes to give you some fuel. But I
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 5: think the landscape of comedy is different for different people.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 5: Not knocking the people who do shock value or or
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 5: a lot of sexual content that that's there, that's their stick.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 5: And they probably young and at some point they'll grow.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 5: Hopefully they'll grow, and it'll be more things in life
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 5: to talk about. People like well, how do you have
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 5: as many specials? Because I have a life you know,
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 5: I had a life before that I talked about and
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 5: then I have a life, a current life that you know,
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 5: I'm still experiencing things.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to talk about things.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 5: That that's that's a little different because I'm I'm living
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 5: and I'm not stuck in Sex is not the number
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 5: one thing. I remember when I figured that I was,
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 5: Sex wasn't that big when I went to you know,
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 5: they had to think Netflix and chill and I actually
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 5: wanted to watch.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: The movie, like, get you off my leg. I'm trying
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: to watch this movie, you know what I'm saying.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 5: So it's a thing about the development in this game
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 5: and how you grow and what you think about.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 3: Well, I think comedy is just one of the problems
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 3: with the label is that there's no genres. It's not
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 3: like blues comedy, rock and roll comedy, hip hop comedy,
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 3: ed M comedy. It's just comedy. You don't know what
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 3: it is. It's just different people's perspective on things, and
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 3: there's different kinds of comedy that people like. You know,
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 3: some people are Giant Richard Pryor fans, some people are
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 3: Sam Kennison fans, some people are Jerry Seinfeld fans, and
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 3: some people love Bonnie Rait and some people love you
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 3: know whatever, James Brown fill in the blank. There's a
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 3: lot of different styles of music, and there's a lot
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: of different styles of comedy. And all that I care
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 3: is that you enjoy what you're doing, and you're doing
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: it because you enjoy it. And if you're doing that,
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 3: I don't give a fuck. I don't give a fuck
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 3: what you're doing. I don't care if you have props.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 3: I don't care if you write signs and hold them
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: up for the crowd. I don't give a shit what
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 3: you're doing. I don't care if you do impressions. I
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 3: don't give a fuck what you're doing.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: That that was a huge.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 5: So when talk about the scope of comedy, you know,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 5: I'm I can start with Carol Bannette and I watched that,
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 5: but the guy who I watched on HBO a lot,
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 5: I knew I wasn't gonna do that type of stand up.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: That was just a whole different thing. But Gallagher was
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: crazy to me.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 3: Crazy.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: That was crazy.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: More plastic in garbage bags.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: Around the neck front what six rows.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 3: Just splattered with watermelons and pineapples and coconuts and whatever.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 3: The fuck he's cabbage ridiculous, ridiculous, But he also had
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 3: some good jokes, yeh, some solid jokes in between. Then
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 3: dude did a ton of specials. You know. The craziest story,
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 3: the Gallagher story is Gallagher retired and his brother took over.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 3: His brother was Gallagher two, so he had a brother
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 3: that kind of looked.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: Like Gallagher Gallagher too.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 3: And then somewhere down the line, Gallagher decided he wants
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 3: to start doing comedy again, and he's like, hey, Gallagher two,
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 3: the gig is up and he's like, no, no, no, no, no,
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 3: I'm making money. I'm Gallagher two. I think there was
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 3: some sort of illegal dispute to find out if that's correct,
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 3: there was a legal dispute between them. Gallagher's younger brother, Ron,
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 3: who shared a strong likeness to Leo, asked him for
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 3: permission to perform shows using Gallagher's trademark sledgeomatic routine. Leo
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 3: granted his permission on the contingent and the condition that
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 3: Ron and his manager clarified in promotional materials that this
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 3: was Ron Gallagher, not Leo Gallagher who was performing. Ron
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 3: typically performed in venue smaller than those which Leo Gallagher performed.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 3: After several years, Ron began promoting his act as Gallagher
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 3: two or Gallagher too or two. In some of it
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 3: says Ron's act was promoted in a way that left
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 3: unclear the fact that he was not the original Gallagher.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 3: Leo initially responded by requesting, only did his brother not
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 3: use the sledge dramatic routine? You can't use the fucking
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 3: you can't use the sledgehammer. Ron nonetheless continued to tour
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 3: as Gallagher two using the routine. In August two thousand,
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 3: Leo sued his brother for trademark violations and false advertising.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 3: The court ultimately sided with Leo and granted an injunction
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 3: prohibiting Ron from performing any act that impersonated his brother
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 3: in small clubs and venues. This injunction also prohibited Ron
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 3: from intentionally bearing likeness to Leo. What imagine? You can't
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 3: look like your brother. You can't cut your mustang. Yeah,
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 3: you got change your mustache. You gotta get rid of the beard.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 3: That's crazy. So did did Gallagher continue with his career
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 3: after he kicked his brother out? Did he come back?
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 3: Was that part of it? I think, yeah? I think.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Nobody means it doesn't say it there,
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 3: didn't say it here. It doesn't say.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 4: Specifically in this paragraph.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 3: Now does did? When did Gallagher start performing again? Put
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 3: that in a search, see what it says, because I
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 3: think he did start performing again.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he says he was rushed to the hospital after
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 4: performance in twenty eleven.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, in what year did he sue his brother?
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 4: Two thousand oh?
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 3: So he did start doing comedy again, So that's it. Yeah,
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 3: so he's like, hey, motherfucker.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, hit a special in two thousand and seven and
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 4: twenty fourteen.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't be doing that with Gallagher too, running
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 3: around siphoning off of your crowd. You know, people like, honey,
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 3: you want to spend fifty bucks and see leo, oh,
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 3: what do you want to spend twenty bucks? See? Basically
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 3: the same shits. See Ron smashing fucking cabbage.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: You know you had, yeah carrot top.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 3: And imagine saying yeah, you can perform, but you can't
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 3: use the sledgehammer.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: I would use a mallet. What about a matt Can
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: I use a mallet?
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 3: It's a baseball bat. You could just have someone pitch
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 3: me things and I smash him into the crowd.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you can't own that. That's a different thing. I'm
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 5: handing out oranges and tomatoes and the OIDs.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I honestly, I don't give a fuck what you
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 3: do as long as you like what you're doing. It's
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 3: like I love certain kinds of music that's completely opposite
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 3: to other shit that I love. I mean, I like
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 3: all kinds of stuff. I don't think you should pigeonhole
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 3: yourself with anything, but I would not take my kids,
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 3: especially when they're really young, to see someone who's like
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 3: very sexual or really rowdy or really raunchy, like you know.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 5: The caveat to this is he was in the green
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 5: room and they were looking right at him like they like,
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 5: and I'm like, change, tell me what your I didn't
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 5: know they act.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 3: But he didn't say hey, you got young kids?
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, hey, Because I would say, hey man, tonight, you know, yeah,
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 5: set an event, bro.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 3: I would definitely do that if, especially if you were
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 3: another comic and you brought your kids out, bro. Yeah,
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 3: because yo, yo, you got to to get him out
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 3: of here. They don't need to know about all these techniques.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So that that's weird, you know, but.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 3: That is weird. But you know what I mean it's
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 3: like time and a place, like who was he doing
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 3: it for? I mean, they probably knew what he did
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 3: before they hired him. They probably wanted that someone's fan,
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 3: which is fine, but just don't invite kids.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 5: And like I said, I didn't. All I did was hey,
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 5: hand on, let's go, and that I didn't. Hey, y'all
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 5: should have been.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, man, do what you do, but I'm
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: getting my kid out of here.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 5: And then you get the phone call, hey man, why
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 5: you leave? You don't really want to.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: Know why I'm leaving because you are terrorizing my child.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: I say so, yeah, it no, But I definitely wouldn't
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: take my girls to like noning. I'm like, none, not
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: at all.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 3: My wife got mad at me. When I think one
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 3: of my daughters was six, one was eight. I had
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 3: to watch the movie Alien. Did you ever see that
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 3: movie Alien? The original movie? Yeah, fucking terrifying. And I
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 3: was like, this is too young, this is too young.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 3: I fucked up.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 5: I think Hassan watched Annabelle when he.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 3: Was young, and it anas creepy.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: It was he was traumatized.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 5: He watching somebody else's house, you know, with some other kids,
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 5: and they were like, I guess they they understood, but
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 5: Hassan was it was a whole problem. Like you're talking
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 5: about sleeping with all the lights on the house. I
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 5: want all the lights on and I'm sleeping in your bed.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 3: Like do you ever go to that place in Vegas?
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 3: It's haunted Zach Baggin's Haunted museum. He has the Annabelle
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 3: doll there. Wow, yeah, there it is. Which one is
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 3: one of the right? Oh? Hell no, that's the real one.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 3: It is the one on the left, the movie one. Oh.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 3: Really interesting.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 5: Wow, So that Annabelle is both on creepy as hell
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 5: to me, but well.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 3: There's something it's something extra creepy about the one with
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 3: eyes like a person the left one that's insane. You
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 3: believe in ghosts?
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 3: Really? Have you had experience?
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: No?
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 5: Oh no, no, no no I have. Let me go back,
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 5: Let me let me say that I do believe in ghosts.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 5: So my old house, when my mom says that, now,
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 5: it's a girl that lives there. You know, I don't
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 5: know what happened at this house, but it's definitely a
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 5: girl that lives in the house. But she would only
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 5: come from like the hallway bathroom to the kitchen, and
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 5: I remember doing the pandema. You say ghost, Yeah, that's
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 5: that's a girl. Okay, she's definitely a girl. And I
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 5: remember being during the pandemic. I was in the den
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 5: and I was working on I was working on something
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 5: and literally I just turned the set, so you up, huh?
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 5: And because I could feel her, I was like yo,
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 5: because but and I had to go back through my family.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 5: A lot of people in my family have experiences with
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 5: past relatives that passed on. My uncle said he saw
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 5: his dad was my grandfather in his shoes, and my
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 5: mom said she saw my grandfather before and that lived
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 5: in that died in the house that they had in Mississippi.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I believe in ghosts. I believe in unsettled spirits.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: He definitely had a girl that lived in a house.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 3: My grandmother, the one I was telling you about before,
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 3: she was very interesting and she really strongly believed in ghosts.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 3: And there was a guy that stayed with them for
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 3: a while. They had like an upstairs area that they
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 3: weren't using once the kids left, and so they rented
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 3: out like it was like an attic space that they
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 3: had converted or so I forget exactly what it was. Anyway,
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 3: they rented out a room to this guy where wherever
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 3: the circumstances were, and he died, and my grandmother swore
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 3: that that dude stayed in the house.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I believe it.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 3: I think it's possible that if something happens to you,
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 3: that if you're dying, it's a very traumatic experience. And
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 3: I have a feeling that we don't totally understand memory,
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 3: and we assume that memory is something that only human
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 3: beings have, or that only animals have, or that only
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 3: creatures living creatures have. I don't think that's real. I
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 3: have a feeling there may be a type of memory
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 3: from particularly traumatic experiences that stays in the space. And
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 3: I think this is one of the reasons why they
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 3: have to disclose within a certain amount of time. Someone's
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 3: been murdered in the house in a lot of places
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 3: before you buy it, because people don't want to live
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 3: in a house that's got that energy in it. Because
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 3: I think I think things keep energy. I think they
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 3: do they I think there's something more to memory than
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 3: just as simple as oh, remember when we were five.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 3: I think there's something else there. I think I think
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 3: that's our memory but I think there's a type of
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 3: memory in things. That's what I think.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 5: I believe in the unseen world. So I believe in gens,
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 5: you know, I believe in angels, you know what I'm saying.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 5: So it's an unseen world that's not you know, our thing,
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 5: but it was things that was things here before.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 3: Us, you know. So I think there's things here with us.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely with it.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 3: And people who don't think that haven't smoked d MT.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 3: But I definitely get get old of some DMD and
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 3: you're like, Okay, I don't know shit. There's things around
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 3: me all the time. There's things that are influencing you
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 3: all the time. And this is like when we talk
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 3: about like good energy and bad energy. One of the
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 3: things you experienced in psychedelic states is a clear recognition
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 3: of like good things you've done and bad things you've done. Good,
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 3: the good way of thinking, the good way you think
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 3: about things a positive way, and bad like I remember
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 3: having negative thoughts in an experience once and it was
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 3: all these like dark fractals, and then I realized it
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 3: was trying to show me that these dark fractals, these
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 3: crazy geometrics, like scary patterns that I was saying, was
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 3: because of my own thoughts, and then I released them
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 3: and it turned into beautiful geometric patterns over and over,
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 3: and it kept saying like, look at this and look
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 3: at this, and I was like, oh, it's actually the
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 3: way you think changes the world around you. It has
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 3: an effect. It might not have the ultimate effect. It
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 3: might not be one hundred percent of what happens to
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 3: you and in your life, but it has a meaningful effect.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 3: We just can't measure it. And there's things that are
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 3: out there, whatever they are, they have some kind of
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 3: consciousness that are around us all the time. We just
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 3: don't have the senses to take them in. Just like
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 3: when you wave your hand over an earthworm and there's
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 3: no fucking idea you're doing that. We don't have the
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 3: senses to understand that there's things around us. And people
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 3: have been writing about these things for so long to
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 3: discount them all they're all liars, they're all delusional, they're
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 3: all crazy.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 5: I think that people discount on dudes thinking that they
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 5: were on drugs.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 3: Well they probably were, but it doesn't mean they're wrong.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 5: It doesn't mean it doesn't mean they're wrong, you know,
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 5: like a drunk a drunk really don't tell a lot
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 5: of lies.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: That's a drunk don't tell a lot of lies. It can't.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: I'm drunk. I can't remember all that. I'm just saying
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: what it is it I was saying.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 5: But when you people like LSD, you know, you loosen it,
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 5: you know, or mushrooms or these things. People are like, well,
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 5: you only saw that because you was on this. But
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 5: maybe that's the portal on how you see certain things.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 3: I think there's certain things that we block ourselves from
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 3: being able to see our own protective instincts, We protect
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 3: our thoughts. I mean, this is why people, I think
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 3: get paranoid when they smoke weed. One of the things
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 3: that weed does is it dissolves all these artificial barriers
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 3: that you've put between you and and the thoughts of
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 3: real danger. They're all there. You realize your vulnerability, you
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 3: realize who you are.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 5: So just think of how years ago, how we was viewed,
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 5: how marijuana was viewed. It was taught that marijuana is
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 5: a gateway drug to crack, Like, right, I didn't believe that, Like,
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 5: how does that even correlate? But it's for those who
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 5: are trying to find an ultimate high. Maybe you just
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 5: smoke weed and that's all you ever did, you know,
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 5: and you wasn't trying to find another high. I think
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 5: some people try to find another high. Like now, man,
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 5: a lot of these young people are on so many
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 5: different things at the same time, like what are you
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 5: searching for?
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 5: They popping pills, doing coke, drinking lean, doing everything all
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 5: at the same time, Like what is and drinking?
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 3: What?
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 5: What are you trying to escape?
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: Or what are you searching for?
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 5: And I just know people who just smoke weed and
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 5: still smoke joints, like they don't smoke the I know
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 5: people who grow their own bud. They're not even trusting
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 5: what's going on now now they finding fittin al and
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 5: all this marijuana, you know, and.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 3: Depesticides, horrible pesticides, because what people don't know is that
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 3: a giant percentage of all the drugs or marijuana, rather
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 3: that people are buying in places where it's illegal. They're
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 3: growing them in national forests in California, and the cartel's
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 3: doing it. And the cartel uses a bunch of pesticides
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 3: and herbicides that are illegal, like real toxic shit, and
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 3: they find them doing it all the time. They find
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 3: these grow ops in the forest all the time because
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 3: it's a misdemeanor. So because marijuana is legal in the
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 3: state of California, growing it is just a misdemeanor. So
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 3: you could have a full scale grow op in you know,
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 3: public land out in the forest, and these guys find
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 3: them there all the time. A friend of mine found
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 3: one in a ranch that he works at. He followed
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 3: these PVC pipes and he realized that some guy was
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 3: diverting water into this little area that was on a
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 3: Tahone ranch, which is a big ranch outside of Bakersfield.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 3: But this dude that was on my podcast for his
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 3: name is John Norris. He wrote a book about it.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 3: He was a game warden and it turned into a
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 3: tactical unit. They had to get like dogs, like Belgian
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 3: Moulainois and shit with bulletproof vests and they're going in
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 3: there having shootouts with the cartel because the cartel has
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 3: set up these marijuana grow ops in the woods and
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 3: it was his job to police that area. So like, okay,
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 3: I guess that's what we're doing now. And then they
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 3: it's a crazy story.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 5: Man, kind of like moonshine. That's why you shine exactly,
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 5: and this thing moonshine. Moonshining developed into NASCAR exactly.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 3: Exactly. They had to outrun the cops. Yeah, that's what
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 3: NASCAR came about from it's fun, it's I mean looks,
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 3: and also it's al Capone. You know, it's all the mob.
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 3: They were all running alcohol and there's a lot of
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 3: people that were connected to them. You know, some people
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 3: believe that JFK's dad was involved in alcohol, but that's disputed.
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 3: But the point is, like a lot of people were
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 3: making money selling alcohol. They were all criminals, all of them.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 3: And so what are you doing. Are you stopping people
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 3: from getting marijuana? Nope, what you're doing is you're empowering
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 3: a criminal empire, giving them an immense amount of money.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 3: And they're probably gonna have to kill a few people
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 3: because people getting the way. They're probably gonna have to
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 3: rob a few people because people are competition. There's a
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 3: little bit of a problem over here. We've got another
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 3: guy growing.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 5: When we live in we live in a society where
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 5: the bad guy is definitely romanticized. So how do you
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 5: stop people from wanting to be the bad guy when
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 5: it's so romanticized and and everything.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 3: You know, it's romanticized to the point where John Wick
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 3: is a good guy. Yeah, John Wick is a contract
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 3: killer for the Russian mob. He kills who knows how
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 3: many people, and he's the good guy.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 5: But but you got a problem with the iceman, right,
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 5: a terrible person.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 3: You know, poison john Wick at least put sucky in
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 3: that suit.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: But you cannot wait John Wick sixth to come out.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 3: I love those well there John Wick movie though, like
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 3: he had a reason. They killed his dog and they
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 3: stole his car. They fucked up, they fucked up, they
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 3: stole the wrong guy's car, and they killed the wrong
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 3: guy's puppy. And so you're rooting for him. You're rooting
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 3: for him to kill all these bad Russian guys. But
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 3: you don't realize, like, the guy's been a contract killer
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 3: for the Russian mob for who knows how many dads
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 3: is he's assassinated how many fucking people that have families
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 3: that will never come home to them because of John Wick?
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 5: And yep, and sometimes a lot of times, you know,
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 5: people don't care.
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: We don't know it's weird.
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 3: Well, we're weird. We're a weird animal. We're a weird animal.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 3: And a constant flux of thoughts and you know, trying
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 3: to figure out what's the right way to think and
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 3: the wrong way to think. And people joined religions for it,
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 3: they'll join cults for it, they'll join political movements for it.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 3: They just want to find a way to think that
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 3: makes them feel better than the way they think.
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 5: Right now, you know, with with the need to feel
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 5: better outside of yourself you know, or you're family, lead
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 5: you know, or being you know, great to society, I
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 5: think that's detrimental to this society where I just need
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 5: I personally need to feel better, but I don't want
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 5: the community around me to feel better. And in my mind,
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 5: if everybody around you in the community feels better, I
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 5: think it makes for a more harmonious, you know, environment
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 5: than me just being the only one.
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 3: That's because you're a wise person. The problem is there's
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 3: a lot of people that aren't wise and there's no
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 3: one wise around them, and that's that's the real issue,
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 3: is that there's an extreme lack of like a good
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 3: direction book of how to lead a solid life. And
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 3: you're not taught at school school. You're taught to sit
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 3: down and learn some shit that you don't give a
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 3: fuck about learning. Memorize this, do good on the test.
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 3: You got to get a job. What's a job? Well,
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 3: you gotta sit there and do some shit you don't
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 3: want to do to get some money. And with the
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 3: rest of your time you can do whatever you want
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 3: as long as you keep showing up every morning at
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 3: the same spot. Okay, And then that sucks, and so
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 3: what do you want to do? I want to escape
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 3: this suck. So what do I need? Cold syrup? Okay,
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 3: give me some of that? What do I need weed?
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 3: Give me some of that? Adderall, Oh, adderall makes me
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 3: like the job. Okay, I'll take this shit every day. Now,
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 3: I don't give a fuck. Now, I'm trying to get ahead.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 3: Next thing, you know, I'm moving up the corporate ladder.
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 3: And I'm not a fucking animal, bro because I'm on adderall.
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 3: You're basically on MEC. You're on a well designed slow
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 3: drip amphetamine and you're out there fucking sleeping four hours
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 3: a day, getting hit done, you know, driving a Jaguar.
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 3: And this is the problem with society, he said, Like
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 3: people don't have a real There's a lot of people
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 3: out there that don't really have a purpose. They don't
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 3: have a real feeling of purpose in their life. You
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 3: are very fortunate because you've found a thing that you're
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 3: really good at, you love to do, and you make
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 3: a great living doing it. A lot of people don't
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 3: have a thing, and they don't never they never never
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 3: were taught to pursue a thing, or they never saw
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 3: anybody else do it and they realized they could do
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 3: it too, And then next thing you know, they're married
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 3: and they have kids, and they're in their thirties, and
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 3: then they're in their forties and they feel like shit.
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 5: I ask you a question. You have a team, correct,
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 5: team of people, team of people that sure? Okay with
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 5: Do you think your team is happy doing whatever they
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 5: do for the team.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 3: If I didn't think that, they wouldn't be working, okay.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: So you don't want to be the only one happy
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: on the team.
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 3: That's terrible. So, and you don't want to also have
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 3: someone on the team that is one of those people
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 3: that just never happy. That's a problem too. Yeah, that's
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 3: a problem too. So there's people out there you can't fix.
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 5: So with like I produce other people's specials now and
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 5: comics to hit me.

• 1:28:18
  Speaker 5: on this particular special. And it's not just my no,
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 5: it is for other people's no. Because I tell people
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 5: and I explain this, if we're doing a special with you, you
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 5: have to get the approval of all five of us
• 1:28:38

• 1:28:43
  Speaker 5: everybody who's involved in your special to want to do it.
• 1:28:47

• 1:28:50
  Speaker 5: of the company. No, I want them to want to
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 5: do it. And I say, I'm not putting you through
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 5: a process that I'm not putting myself through.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 5: And I've tested and I've tested this team with me
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 5: giving them a special that I knew there wasn't a special.
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: And I'm the head, I'm like, I sent it out

  Speaker 1: they was like.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 5: I know, Like I was like this is our I'm like,
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 5: I'm just listening to everybody's you know, opinion on it.
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 5: And they was like, y'all don't understand the direction. I
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 5: don't understand where you're going with this. I just you know,
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 5: we won't have to fix a lot of it. And
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 5: I'm like and I'm just sitting there listening. And we
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 5: took the vote and when we turned the vote in,
• 1:29:43

• 1:29:47
  Speaker 5: what was your take on I said, I knew it
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 5: was a note from the beginning. I just wanted to
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 5: make sure that y'all wasn't going to try to fluff
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 5: me with the because he's the head, we're going to
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 5: say yes. And I'm like, good, So time we do
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 5: a project, if that, I put it on the table,
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 5: just like I put anybody else's project on the table.
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 5: And you gotta get all five people. If you want
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 5: me to finance, you gotta get me. Then you gotta
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 5: get the marketing person that's going to market. Then you
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 5: gotta get the director, you gotta get the manager. You
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 5: gotta get everybody so they can feel good about pushing
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 5: your project. I don't want anybody pushing the project that
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 5: they don't.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 3: Like that's smart. Yeah, so you make it a democracy,
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 3: you're smart.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: So you got all five of us. Then now we're ready,
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 5: And now I'm gonna feel good about somebody coming to
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 5: me and say this is gonna cost this right because
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 5: I know they're doing it out of Hey, man, this
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 5: is what's gonna cost. We're gonna figure it out. And
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 5: I'm like cool. But even when I do a special man,
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 5: they it is a lot of you don't want to
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 5: talk about this part, Like no, it's like we should
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 5: talk about this part. And it spent some decisions that
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 5: have been made. That was it was my call at
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 5: the end, but it was somebody else's idea. Like with
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 5: Domino effect, it would have never been a Domino effect
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 5: two three or four if I would have stuck with
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 5: the name that I started with. The name was nineteen
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 5: eighty three, so how what it was gonna be eighty
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 5: three eighty six and I Rugged, which won what three
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 5: Rebby Awards. Rugged was was the original name was I'm
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 5: not Handy and Eric call me was like, no, we're
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 5: I've listened to it.
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: I watched it so many times.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 5: I think that we should go with this name, and
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 5: he he gave it the name, and I sat on
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 5: it for a day and then I called him back
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 5: and I'm like, yeah, you about right, people, and I
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 5: think that people should put like right now, I'm on
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 5: the custom Fit tour. Well, I'm off into August because
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna take six weeks of vacation. But custom Fit
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 5: is not going to be a special. It's just the
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 5: tour that I'm doing now because the specials that I'm
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 5: writing are different than what I just wanted to take
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 5: this time to just do some material.
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 3: I didn't want to be.
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: Working on a special.
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 5: But the theme is about people think custom Fit is
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 5: about close it's not about clothes. It's about tailor making
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 5: the people around you know what I'm saying that can
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 5: you can be a benefit to It can be a
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 5: benefit to you know what I'm saying, not just having
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 5: these people around, because you know, sometimes people have a
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 5: bunch of people around that secretly despise them, you know,
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 5: and secretly despise their success.
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 1: And that's that's detrimental to anything.
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 3: Haters. Yeah, yeah, sometimes haters will get real close to you,
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 3: stay stay next to you. It's a problem. I mean,
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 3: when you're in a position like you're in too. When
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 3: you're producing other people's specials, you're gonna get a bunch
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 3: of people to come to you that you don't want
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 3: to do their shit. It's just like owning the club.
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 3: The same issue. The way I bypass that I put
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 3: all the power into Adam. Adam eget decides who's there
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 3: and who's not there, and how the club gets scheduled,
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 3: and you know who passes and who doesn't. And he's
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 3: really good at it. You know, he's really good at it.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 3: I trust him implicitly, so I don't have to think
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 3: about it. And I like it so that when people
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 3: say I want to work your club, I'm like, well,
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 3: you got to talk to Adam. I just perform. I
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 3: might be the owner, but I just performed there. I
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 3: don't I don't think about it in terms of like
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 3: how the scheduling is. I often have to check the
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 3: website to see who's there. I don't know who's there.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 3: You know, it's uh, it might be mine. But I
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 3: got a guy who does it, and he does it
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 3: really well, So why would I get involved in that.
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 3: It's easier to not.
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 5: When I had when I had a club in Houston.
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 5: I couldn't be funny in the club at all. Why
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 5: not because I was actively working the club. So I'm
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 5: on stage and I'm worried about oh, I said so
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 5: many other things, right, you know, going on, like yo,
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 5: did you just drop a glass on the ground, Like
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 5: I'm I didn't have enough help, So.
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 3: You got to get the right help. I got very
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 3: fortunate in that a lot of the people that I
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 3: took to Austin, they were from the comedy store and
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 3: they were out of work. So the comedy store closed
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 3: because the fucking stupid government of LA they wouldn't even
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 3: allow them to do outside shows. Wouldn't You couldn't do
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 3: an outside show in the parking lot of the comedy store.
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 3: They wouldn't allow it. It's so stupid. They were closed
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 3: for like a good solid year and a half. They
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 3: couldn't support paying all these people, so they had to
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 3: get rid of them. And I moved here, and it's
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 3: the same time. It just by chance it happened at
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 3: the same time, and so they were all out of work,
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 3: and I said, hey, let's get the band back together again.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 3: Let's let's do you guy, you guys want to move
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 3: to Austin. So I paid for everybody to come out here,
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 3: and I paid for them. I gave them a full
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 3: salary with everything for like a year and a half
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 3: or so, maybe even more, maybe two years before anybody
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 3: had to go to work because the club wasn't open.
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 3: So I was like, I want to give you a job,
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 3: like so you could settle in, get used to Austin.
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 3: You're gonna get paid like you get paid like you're working,
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 3: but you don't have to work. But I love you,
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 3: I know you, and you know come here.
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 5: Very admirable. With the store. I just performed at the
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 5: store main room for te. They had a thing before
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 5: bt woars I popped in. And the comedy store has
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 5: a certain politics to it that you know.
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: I like the other one a little more, even though all.
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 5: They service pop prop No. The other comedy store oh
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 5: La Joya Hoyay Ship, which.
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 3: Is that place? Is the ship? What a club?
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 1: They just don't have food, You don't popcorn drinks.
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 3: I don't believe in food and common clubs either.
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so, but.
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 3: It's just a different environment. Lahoya is like very nice,
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 3: beautiful place. That club is awesome.
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 1: I love performing there and with the store. In La.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 3: It's like you.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 5: Get there and it's very it seems very you know, segregated.
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 3: This is now to me, that's when I how long
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 3: ago was this?
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 1: I just performed? But last week, last Wednesday.
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 3: That's that's sad here because it wasn't like that before.
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 5: It seemed like the main room in the room around
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 5: the corner, and all these rooms are different spaces. And
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 5: that's to me, and I may just it may just
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 5: be that feel because I'm not there a lot, you know,
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 5: but when I come when before I came that time,
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 5: but the management walked up was very pleasant.
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 3: What do you mean by different spaces? But obviously the
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 3: different rooms, But I mean what I mean.
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 5: It seemed like the main room is different from the
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 5: room around the corner.
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 3: Well, it is different, But what do you mean by
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 3: it feels different?
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: It feels a little different.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean just by its design. It's a big showroom.
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 3: It's it's brighter, the ceilings are taller, and then you
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 3: get into the original room, which is just tight and perfect.
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 3: The original room is like that's where you find out
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 3: what's real.
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 3: I've seen a lot of people have rough sets. They
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 3: were real, real confident going into that room. That room
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 3: is a truth serum.
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 1: I like a tight room.
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 3: Well then then then there's the belly room. The belly
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 3: room is the ultimate truth serum. The trying out new
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 3: jokes in the belly room is the place, because you know,
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 3: only seat seventy people, can't you can't bullshit those people there.
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 1: That's the that's the the krim dela crime is.
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 3: A tight small belly rooms. I came such a good room.
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: I came from small audiences.
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 3: They're the best. It's the best for finding out if
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 3: jokes are real. There's nothing like a small crowd. Look
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 3: in our club. We have the Little Boy, the little
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 3: we have our rooms are named after the bombs they
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 3: dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And uh Little Boy is
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 3: only one hundred and ten seats. It's a super low ceiling.
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 5: This is when you know it's it's those times in
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 5: comedy when you knew that that's what you actually loved
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 5: to do. And I remember I was in San Antonio
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 5: at this this place called Santa's.
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 3: He he literally.
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 5: Owned the whole strip, the club, the washing teia, the
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 5: corner store, everything, This guy named Santa. I didn't know
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 5: that he owned it, but it was like a rainstorm
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 5: or something that got the show got rained out and
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 5: it is literally.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 1: Three people in this room.
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 5: It's two ladies in it, Santa and I don't I
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 5: don't know that this is him at the time, and
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 5: we had to go on to get paid. Promoter was like,
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 5: I'm not paying nobody who don't go home, We're still
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 5: doing the show. I'm like, okay, so this is one
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 5: hundred dollars. He's getting paid one hundred dollars and he
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 5: was like, who going up. I'm like, I'm definitely going up,
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 5: and I'm going up first, like I don't care. I
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 5: did like an hour and thirty minutes for three people,
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 5: and I was like because I kept looking at like
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 5: anybody else going over there was like nah, we're good,
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 5: and I'm like I and Santa. I remember he finally
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 5: revealed that he was the owner of the club and
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 5: he was like, well, let me take you to bay.
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 5: He took me to the back and he gave me
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 5: like seven hundred dollars. You know what I'm saying for performing?
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 5: He say, yeah, man, you wasn't scared that me and
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 5: my friends had a good time and it was like
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 5: three people. It was literally the dude a advance put
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 5: the show on. It was like three advance, tell anybody.
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 5: It was like, this is when I knew Ali was
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 5: different when he went out three people. He went first
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 5: and he's like an hour and thirty and he was
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 5: like and it didn't look like he was coming down.
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 5: I'm like, yo, bro, I'm I'm I'm here. This is
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 5: what I do. I don't and I need that one
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 5: hundred dollars. So that's definitely some extra motivator that.
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 3: No one else wanted to go up.
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 1: They was like no. And another time I was at Wiley.
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 5: It was a Wilie college and Marcus was performing and
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 5: the mic went out and it's like, all these people
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 5: in this in this out of the same place they
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 5: shot Denzel shot the movie The Great Debate. So we
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 5: in we in this autorum and the sound goes out
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 5: and they started ribbing Marcus and I and I was
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 5: in the back and I was like, what's going on?
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 1: And he's like the sound went out.
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 5: And I walked out. I was like, what's happening? And
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 5: I said, hold on, Marcus, let me, let me, let
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 5: me ask him something. Wait a minute, I know, damn well,
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 5: y'all not in there trying to get somebody a problem,
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 5: because y'all got us and we didn't bring this sound system.
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 5: Got us in Fair east Side high broken clock, and
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 5: so I say listen. Market sat down in the back
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 5: and I was like, Yo, this is what we're gonna do.
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna talk, y'all gonna laugh, then I'm gonna talk
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 5: some more. But y'all can't be laughing all along because
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 5: we don't have no sounds. I'm not supposed to use
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 5: my real voice in this. So I'm at like forty
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 5: five and then I looked back at Mark. I say, hey, man,
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 5: you won't come make up. Mark was like no, like
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 5: you got.
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 1: It like an hour and twenty. He was like, at
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 1: least nuts. I'm like, no, this is what I do
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: and I'm gonna figure it out.
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 3: We did a show with the improv once in Hollywood
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 3: and the power went out and they were gonna cancel
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 3: the show, and we were sitting there talking and I said,
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 3: why don't can we light the stage somehow? And they said, yeah,
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 3: we can get an emergency light attached to like a
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 3: generator and we could put a you know, put the
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 3: run the wires through the crowd and put an emergency
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 3: light on the stage. I go, that's that. We'll do that,
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 3: and then we'll just do stand up with no mic.
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 3: And we did the whole show with no mic. It
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 3: was the opening, middle, and then me I did a
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 3: full hour. It was amazing. Everybody had a great fucking time.
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 3: It felt special. It felt very unusual. You get to
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 3: see what it's like like when you don't have a
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 3: microphone and you're projecting to the back of the room.
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 3: Changed my pacing on things. But it was great. It
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 3: felt cool. It felt like you were doing something and
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 3: the audience was into it that I go, look, we're
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 3: gonna have fun, right like, fuck it, who cares? This
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 3: is gonna be This is never gonna happen again, probably ever.
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 3: I've never I've been doing comedy thirty something years, I've
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 3: never had that happen where I did a show with
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 3: no microphone except that one.
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 1: So this is the thing. These are the experiences that.
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 5: As a comic going through the trenches that some comics
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 5: are never have, right because they didn't come up that way,
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 5: and you have a different set of chops, and when
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 5: you come up a certain type of way.
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: I've come up and just joking had to be.
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 5: The craziest place because some nights you're coming in it's
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 5: like nine people, but these nine people are into comedy.
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 5: And Alice was like, you gotta do the show like
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 5: it's not a we don't have a limit. We gotta
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 5: do these people that's here, because what the thing is
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 5: that whole idea that the show must go on regardless
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 5: regardless too well.
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 3: I learned that from Paul Mooney too, And one of
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 3: the things that I said, I did a show at
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 3: the Common Store. It's like the first time that Mooney
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 3: ever complimented me, and that I was always scared of
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 3: him since like Moodey didn't like he was terrifying. He
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 3: was a legend. He was a legend, wrote for Richard Pryor,
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 3: and it was like the way he carried himself and
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 3: he didn't like you like And I was twenty seven,
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 3: you know, I was young and stupid, and I went
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 3: up because I would always go up last or late.
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 3: I had late spots and there was like fifteen people
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 3: in the room, but I in my act and I
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 3: heard in the back room, oh oh, he was laughing,
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 3: having fun, and then he grabbed me afterwards, he goes,
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 3: you're a real motherfucking comic. He goes, that's what a
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 3: real comic does. He goes. All these other motherfuckers they
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 3: went up there and they did, oh, where are you from, bitch?
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 3: I know where I'm from. Tell me some fucking jokes.
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 3: Do your fucking act, and that's what you did. And
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 3: I was like, Wow, Paul Dooney likes me? Who?
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 5: Me and Paul had a different type of relationship?
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 3: Did you and Paul not get along.
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 1: One?
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 5: I have to always say I love I love Paul
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 5: until I met him. It's like Paul was on some
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 5: bullshit when he When I met Paul Man, I was
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 5: at the Improv and I was featuring for him, and
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 5: the improvt got me the feature for him, and I
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 5: was like, cool, I'm excited. I get to meet one
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 5: of my idols in this game, one of the people
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 5: who changed the course of my pacing because it my
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 5: my lineage. Just sitting down, I passed through Paul. So
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 5: it's when I first started. I was a crazy man.
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 5: I was all over the place, thought that you had
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 5: to have this all this energy, and then this guy
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 5: named Dad's White walked into the club one night. I
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 5: was there and Dead stood in the same exact place
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 5: that he never took the mic out the stand, put
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 5: his drink down on the stool, and Dead just stood
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 5: there and he was destroying this room. Never took the
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 5: mic out the stand and people and he always told
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 5: people say, Dad's, Dad's why you don't take the mic
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 5: out the stand, And He's like, because there's a stand,
• 1:45:48

  Speaker 3: keeps the fucking mic in the stand and he makes
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 3: me laugh harder than any fucking human being that's ever lived. That.
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go to I'm gonna finish part, then
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to Rawn.
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 3: So what did he do though?
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 5: So I'm in the green room and at the old
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 5: Empire where they had a downstairs you would come through
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 5: the It used to be a rainforest. Yeah, so it
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 5: was spelled Binds at first and then it changed. So
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 5: I'm sitting in the green room and like it's a
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 5: main part, then it's a smaller part.
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 1: He walked into the small part and.
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 5: Said, hey, go count the room, and I'm like, what, yeah,
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 5: go count the room.
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 1: I was like, I don't.
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 3: I don't work here like that.
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 5: I don't count the room. And he's like yeah, all right.
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 5: Then he walked out and then he came back like
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 5: maybe twenty five minutes later. Yeah till you your little
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 5: white friend that is packed out there and I want
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 5: my bonus? What like, what white friend?
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 1: What are you? What are you talking about? Raymon Cook
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 1: is the manager of the club at the time.
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 5: He was talking about Raymon and I was like, Yo, Paul,
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 5: I don't count the room.
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 1: I'm the feature.
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 5: Why would I be counting the fucking room like and
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 5: then he said something else negative me, and I'm like, yo, Paul,
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 5: if you say something else to me, I'm gonna kick
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 5: your ass.
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 3: PA Like what.
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 1: Is wrong with you? So I called DM. I'm like, yo,
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 1: I'm about to beat up Paul on it. He was like,
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 1: you can't beat up Paul Moony.
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 3: He's a legend.
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 1: I'm like, even if you beat him up, you're still
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 1: not gonna win. And it's like it's gonna be a
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 1: lost so I'm like, yo. So then another time, oh,
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 1: and then laid on that.
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 5: That same weekend, he had this lady with him and
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 5: she was sitting at the top and I was sitting
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 5: up there, and she got up and she left her purse.
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 5: So I didn't want to leave and leave the ladies
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 5: person there, so I grabbed the traveling I got the
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 5: purse like this, I came in. I'm like, hey man,
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 5: you love your person. Paul turned on what are you
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 5: doing with her purse? I said, she left it?
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 1: And then with the only thing in my head is
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 1: d L you cannot beat up Paul on it. So
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 1: I just walked out. I'm like, I'm gonna fuck Paul up.
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 3: What year was this?
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 5: This is like three years before he died, and this
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 5: was the this is this is the old end PROVM.
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 3: This is what i'd heard. Just for clarity. He was
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 3: struggling in the last years of his life, so you
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 3: probably didn't get the best version of Paul Mooney.
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 5: So then we were here in Austin. We're performing at
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 5: the theater that's right next to the Paramount. It's just
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 5: another theater that's connected.
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 1: To the Paramount.
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 5: The Black Heritage, the Black Art something and booked both
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 5: of us, not knowing.
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 1: That we had odds. So I'm in my green room
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 1: and the lady comes in. Hey, she's very nice. Hey,
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 1: I leave Paul when he's next door, I'm saying, and
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 1: you like to meet him?
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 5: Saying, and I was like, no, I'm cool. And then
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 5: she goes, Paul, I leave's next door. You know, I
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 5: don't know if y'all want to meet each other. And
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 5: Paul was like, no, I'm cool. And I went up.
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 5: I'm in my green room and the host is on stage,
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 5: and Paul was getting ready to go up, and this
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 5: was his apology. He walked by the room and came
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 5: back like on purple Rain, came back and leaded in
• 1:49:33

  Speaker 3: certain people are just eccentric. That's Paul. I mean. I

  Speaker 3: wouldn't have counted the fucking room either. I would have
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 3: been like, that's not my job.

• 1:51:30
  Speaker 5: to just talk about fucking Ron White just beating for me.

  Speaker 1: I destroyed his room and wrong he sat out and watched.
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 1: He was like, you're fucking amazing.

  Speaker 5: Like in my mind is I'm still in awe that
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 5: Ron White wanted to fucking I want to work with you,
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 5: Like I was like that ship was crazy.
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 3: That's so cool. Well, you know, when he's working on
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 3: new stuff, that's what he likes to do. He likes
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 3: to go around and does a lot of sets. He's
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 3: constantly active. He's up the tonight, we're working tonight. He's
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 3: one of the main reasons I moved here. Ron moved
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 3: here before the pandemic. So I called him up in
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 3: like twenty eighteen. I'd loved having him at the store,
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 3: so he started coming to the store around twenty fourteen
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 3: ish something like that, and oh my god. We had
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 3: so much fun for years and years, and he had
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 3: a beautiful place up in Beverly Hills, and then he
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 3: just got sick because he's always traveling. He just got
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 3: sick of the long flights and the traffic. And I
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 3: called him up. I go, why'd you move to Texas?
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 3: He goes, Austin's amazing. The food's fucking great, everyone's nice.
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 3: It's in the middle of the country. If I want
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 3: to fly to Florida, it's quick. If I want to
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 3: fly to I'm like, God, damn it, can I live
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 3: in Texas? And then the shit hit the fan with
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 3: COVID and I was like, I get the fuck out
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 3: of California. This place sucks. They're telling me what to do.
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 3: This is not what I signed up for. You tell
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 3: me I can work, You tell me I have to
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 3: wear a mask. Fuck you. I'm getting out of here.
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 3: And when I came to Austin, it was like one
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 3: of the main reasons why I was willing to move here.
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 3: I'm like, if we never do comedy again, at least
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 3: I can hang out with Ron.
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 1: That's amazing.
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And then everybody else came. And then once I
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 3: mean everybody says that I got everybody to move here, sorta.
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 3: I got a lot of people to move here, but
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 3: Ron got me to move here. That's the most important thing.
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 3: Like Ron got me to move here, and then I
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 3: realized how nice people are here and how disconnected they
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 3: are from show business, and I was like, oh, this
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 3: is so refreshing. Everyone's just normal. My neighbor's a normal guy.
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 3: Everyone's normal. They're regular people, just people living their lives,
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 3: having a good time.
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 3: It's like and for me, you know, because I love hunting,
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 3: because everyone hunts out here. Yeah, it's it's it's like
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 3: a normal pastime. I tell people, I bow hunt in California.
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 1: Like Texas is Texas.
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 5: We have been a gym for a long time and
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 5: we just let we let other people feel like they
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 5: are up echelon.
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 3: Were like, okay, Texas ruled forever. I mean, you gotta
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 3: think Kennison and Hicks to the Greatest of All Time
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 3: came out of Houston. Yeah, and when I was coming
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 3: here all the time, I knew it right. So one
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 3: of the things that was good about doing comedy is
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 3: a lot of people that moved during the pandemic just
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 3: wanted to get out of California. But they had no
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 3: idea what the rest of the world was going to be. Like,
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 3: They've never been to Nashville, They've never never been to Austin.
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 3: I'd been here a couple dozen times. I knew I
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 3: loved it, so I was like, look, this will be
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 3: all right, Like I'll be fine, Like it looks like
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 3: I'm never doing comedy again. I was like, it looks
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 3: like comedy's done. It looks like they're gonna fucking make
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 3: us just stay indoors, especially in like blue cities, Like
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 3: this is crazy. You have to have a VAX card
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 3: to eat at a restaurant in New York City. Like
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 3: this is fucking bananas. None of the ship makes any sense.
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 5: I remember you guys came, Mothership was coming. The next
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 5: thing I know, Creaking the Cave was here, Creaking the
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 5: Cave was here. First, Yeah, I'm saying how I heard
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 5: about it. I'm like, oh yeah, like creaking a cave.
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 5: I'm like, damn, okay, Creaking the Cave's coming from New York.
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 5: And then Mothership is here. And then but they had rooms,
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 5: you know. The main thing was what was the room
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 5: that that was so hard to get in there? First
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 5: it was an Austin comedy club. Damn, I forget the
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 5: name of it.
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 3: Velvet the room.
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 5: No, No, it was the actual comedy club, Cap City,
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 5: cap City, Yes, Cap City, that.
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 3: Place was always packed. Yeah, you know, I almost bought
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 3: that place.
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah I heard that.
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I almost bought that whole mall. But the guy
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 3: guy who was trying to sell it to me wanted
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 3: way more than it was worth. And then he got
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 3: roped up in some FBI investigation. I was told while
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 3: it was going on, and he was being investigated, and
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 3: I was like, oh, okay, and then you wound up
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 3: getting arrested. But that building was for sale, the whole
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 3: thing was for sale, and I went in there. I
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 3: thought about how many shows I'd been there, how many
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 3: shows I'd seen there, how many shows I performed there
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 3: over the I'm like, I could own this place. Oh
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 3: my god.
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 1: Cap City was the first place that I did on
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 1: the road with DL.
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 3: That was a great club, you know, fucking great club,
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 3: perfect club place. This was amazing, such a fun place
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 3: to work.
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 5: I think that people don't didn't realize how the rich
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 5: history of Houston, Dallas, Austin Lapstop, San Antonio.
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 3: Bro Lapstop in Houston, River Oaks, one of the greatest
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 3: clubs of all time. Somebody told me that that building
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 3: still exists like that, that it's still set up like that.
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 3: There's nothing in it, is that true? Nothing in it though,
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 3: But it's still the same room. Man. We might have
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 3: to do a mothership Houston.
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's yeah.
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 3: We see if there's another city that could support like
• 1:56:34

• 1:57:41
  Speaker 3: a Hitler mustache once he trimmed his mustache to look
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 3: like Alf Hitler.
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 5: All right, Ari is Aris is by far the craziest
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 5: person that I know. Like I thought my uncle Mag
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 5: was the craziest person and then I met Ari. I'm like,
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 5: this is the craziest person that I know.
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 3: He's awesome, and he just moved to England. My brother

• 1:58:10
  Speaker 5: Ari is nuts, but he's such a cool dude. But
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 5: he's fucking nuts, I said.
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 1: I went to go see him at the Creak and
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 1: the Cave when he was getting ready to film It Special,
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 1: and I was like, yo, Ari is so Aria is
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 1: so crazy.
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 5: If you just if people took time, just just go
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 5: through the different the many looks of Ari Shafi on
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 5: the internet. The one that killed me was the half
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 5: he was just bald on one side then on the others.
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 5: I was like, yo, he's doing.
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 1: Two faces, like he is insane.
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 3: Two face for Batman. He's out of his mind. But
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 3: but that's really who he is. You know he's not trying.
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not.
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 3: He's not. He's out of his mind, complete maniac.
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 5: When he told burn what I heard about him tearing
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 5: up birds check, it was like twenty five thousand dollars,
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 5: He's like, yo, I just made it about.
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 1: That and he just tore the check up like they
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 1: write you another one. I'm like, like, are you insane?
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 5: Like he's the greatest person, But he's I've had some
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 5: great conversations on the phone with him, and he's just and.
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 3: I was very fucking smart, dude.
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 5: I was very smart when he called me to do
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 5: the his last the Endless, you know, I was like,
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 5: that's cool to say, because that that's where that's a
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 5: pivoting point, a major point in my career. When I
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 5: did this is not happened.
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that was a great show man. It was
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 3: a great idea. I remember when he started doing it.
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 3: You started doing it at the lab at the improv
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 3: So you remember the lab. Yeah, another little room, cool,
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 3: cool little room. They never got rid of that room.
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 3: They changed that place and they fucked it up. In
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 3: my opinion, that's the room. The main room is still awesome,
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 3: but the lab used to be in the back and
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 3: it was like, there wasn't a big bar there.
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 5: I think it's still there. It's different now, yeah, the
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 5: last time I didon Cole Yeah, but.
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 3: It's different, it's not. It's not the same setup it
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 3: used to be. You went through a door and it
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 3: was like another small room, and in that small room
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 3: it was separated from the front door. They moved the
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 3: front door and now everybody went in through the parking lot, right,
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 3: and so they went into the lab through the parking lot.
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 3: So the front door was back there that now, and
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 3: when you would open it, it was all this noise
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 3: from the street and they had a curtain to block
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 3: off the noise, and you'd hear people. They were like
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 3: right next to your stage where they're buying tickets. It
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 3: was annoying. And then there was the bar, which is
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 3: right there. It's still a cool little small room once
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 3: everybody settles in, but the original setup was way better.
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 3: And Ari started doing it there and I was like,
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 3: what are you doing And he's like, I'm gonna do
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 3: a storyteller show. I was like, well, the fuck is that?
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 3: That's what I thought. I was like, why are you
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 3: doing that? And then he said, well, it really helps
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 3: you without like having to have like punchlines and setups
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 3: and have everything really tight. You could find the beats
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 3: in the store and it was like, oh, well, actually
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 3: that's brilliant. That's pretty fucking smart. It's a good alternative
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 3: sort of way to develop bits, you know, to develop
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 3: bits by working it out, but in a more loose
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 3: format of telling a story.
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 5: And I didn't even know that that was the premise
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 5: behind it, because when I got it, it was like,
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 5: you go on here, you tell a true story. And
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 5: I was like, okay, cool, that's my that's my thing, right,
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 5: you know. And I had just won Comedy Central's Comic
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 5: to Watch in like twenty thirteen, So you get a package,
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 5: you get an hobum, you get a half hour, and
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 5: you get a chance to go on one of the
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 5: shows that's already on Comedy Central. So they was pitching
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 5: me at the Adam Divine show and I was like,
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 5: mm I don't like it. And it was another show.
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 5: I was like, nah, I'm cool. So every show that
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 5: they would say that they wanted me to go, I
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 5: was like, na, this really ain't my thing. So then
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 5: Chase the Russo Young comic called me and said hey, listen,
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 5: you might want to go on.
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 1: This is not happening. I was like, what's that? He said,
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 1: It is a show start on the internet, you know you.
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 1: I went on and out.
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 5: I watched both, I think both seasons of it on
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 5: the internet and I was like, yo, this is the
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 5: this is the one. So I called Anne Harris that
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 5: kind of I say, this is the show that I
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 5: want to do, and I already know me. You already
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 5: was like, I don't know him, but Eric Abrams is
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 5: one of the co creators of the show. He was like,
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 5: I know him, so he's pretty good. You should bring
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 5: him on. And Alri would already tell anybody. He's like,
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 5: I didn't know what he was gonna do, but.
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 1: All I know it was a truth. All you had
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 1: to do was tell a true story. And I was
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 1: like perfect.
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 5: Eric thought that I was gonna do the story that
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 5: I did on the second time that I was on,
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 5: but I and I was like when I got there,
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 5: I was listening to people's stories and I was like, nah,
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna do a lighter story because the second story
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 5: is Mitchell. It's like when I was gonna kill the CEO.
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 5: And I was like, nah, I should do a lighter one.
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 5: And then I did the prison ride, which is affectionately
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 5: known this Mexican got on boots and our is like
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 5: the best fucking story I ever heard. I'm like me
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 5: telling the story about a riot, a prison ride, and
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 5: I'm telling her what happened. And I only did like
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 5: sixteen minutes of what happened. That was a whole that
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 5: was a whole ordeal. Like, it wasn't a sixteen minute riot.
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 1: It was like nine hours.
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 5: Like the whole thing is like not. I only told
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 5: the beginning part of it, which was, you know, pretty cool.
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 3: You know what happened. I already lost the show, right yeah? Yeah?
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 5: And so that so when the show came back is
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 5: with Roy Woods. They called me to do it, and
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 5: the loyal spirit in me I called Ari first. I
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 5: was like, hey, they want me to do this show.
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 5: I'm really not fucking with it. And he's like, no, no,
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 5: do it. I was like what He's like, I heard
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 5: about all the stuff. He's like, man, do it, Eric,
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 5: Eric is still shooting it. You know what I'm saying,
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 5: So you should do it. He goes, we wanted you
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 5: to be the host, but they didn't. They didn't want
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 5: you to do it. You know, they got Roy, which
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 5: is cool.
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 3: I don't think they wanted anybody affiliated with Ari to
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 3: do it. So we're punishing Ari. So when they tell
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 3: people why so for people that don't know, they already
• 2:04:50
  Speaker 3: got a deal. He got an offer to do a
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 3: Netflix special and he wanted to do it, and they
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 3: wanted him to do the special on Comedy Central and
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 3: he said, well, I don't have to. It was son
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 3: in my contract. They said, well, if you don't do it,
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 3: we're going to cancel your show. And he was like, wow,
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 3: I can't believe you do that, and that ain't what
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 3: you tell Ari. Nope, no, So we were trying to
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 3: figure it out. I offered the host it for free.
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 3: I said, I will come in and host it. I'd
• 2:05:17
  Speaker 3: already done it. It's I'll come in, I'll host it
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 3: for no money. I go because he wanted to make
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 3: sure that everybody was paid. He was going to take
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 3: out a loan and Ari was going to pay all
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 3: the grips, all the camera people because they you know
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 3: these people, they charged out their year. They're like, oh,
• 2:05:31
  Speaker 3: I'm doing this is not happening for the next six weeks.
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 3: And then I'm doing this for five weeks and that's
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 3: their year, and that's how they budget their life. And
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 3: Ari decided that he was going to take out a
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 3: loan to pay everybody. So and I'm like, wow, I
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 3: go listen, man it, go tell Comedy Central that I'll
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 3: host it for free. They weren't interested. They weren't interested
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 3: in anybody affiliated with him. He tried to. He offered
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 3: up a bunch of other comics. Yep, they weren't interested.
• 2:05:54
  Speaker 5: So I was in that group of the bunch because
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 5: I know it was you, it was Joe, me Bird,
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 5: and they just got me to do it. Once Ari
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 5: told me it was cool, He's like, man, do it.
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I would never try to stop anybody from working.
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 5: So what I what I went on and did in
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 5: my protest of you know, you didn't want Ari. So
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 5: what I did was told the story about Ari. I
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 5: just told him, like, okay, cool, It's like my story
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 5: is mushroom story, which is an Ari second and I
• 2:06:35
  Speaker 5: thought I was, you know, second season.

  Speaker 5: Ari gave me, uh mushrooms, and I went through the
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 5: whole thing of what happened when R gave me the mushrooms.
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 5: I ate the mushrooms. I didn't know that they were

• 2:11:14
  Speaker 5: I remember I call Moses Malone for Joey because he's

  Speaker 5: a big Moses Malone fan. Before Moses died, I called, like,
• 2:11:22
  Speaker 5: you know, Moses alone, no fucking way, you know, yeah,
• 2:11:25
  Speaker 5: no fucking Mos. And then Moses was Moses was nuts too,

  Speaker 5: Like most of Malone.
• 2:11:31
  Speaker 3: Was have you heard about these new mushrooms that make
• 2:11:34
  Speaker 3: you see the little tiny people?
• 2:11:36
  Speaker 1: Oh no, no I haven't.
• 2:11:38
  Speaker 5: The talkative ones were like I called a lot of
• 2:11:41
  Speaker 5: people on my phone, and everybody's same report was you know,
• 2:11:45
  Speaker 5: you call me like three in the morning, talk about
• 2:11:47
  Speaker 5: you want to talk to me about my life?
• 2:11:51
  Speaker 3: And which ones are those? What did you take? It's
• 2:11:54
  Speaker 3: not psilocybin, it's something different.
• 2:11:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's something different. It made me very talkative. Delay.
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 5: I told Delay about him comed name Delay. I told
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 5: him about Hi because I called him and I talked
• 2:12:06
  Speaker 5: to him for like hours just about so. Then he
• 2:12:11
  Speaker 5: ended up taking the same mushrooms. He called me and
• 2:12:15
  Speaker 5: I knew what it was. I was like, go ahead,
• 2:12:17
  Speaker 5: just talk. He was talking his ass off. I had
• 2:12:21
  Speaker 5: put the phone out and went to sleep. I woke
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 5: up he was still talking. I was like, Yo, this
• 2:12:26
  Speaker 5: cit is crazy.
• 2:12:28
  Speaker 3: What is it?
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 1: Man?
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 3: I gotta je me put that into perplexity.
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 1: I got a call.
• 2:12:32
  Speaker 3: Put that into our AI sponsor and find out what
• 2:12:34
  Speaker 3: mushrooms make you talking of.
• 2:12:36
  Speaker 5: I know who gave him to me, so I called
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 5: her and asked, hey, it was inshrooms that you gave me,
• 2:12:41
  Speaker 5: because she went and bottomed and like I was fucking
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 5: talking his mess.
• 2:12:45
  Speaker 3: I don't know what that is. I've never heard of
• 2:12:47
  Speaker 3: that before. Most of the time when people take shrooms,
• 2:12:49
  Speaker 3: they can't talk, and it's like I was, I was
• 2:12:53
  Speaker 3: on one.
• 2:12:54
  Speaker 1: Crazy because one because the ones that already gave.
• 2:12:56
  Speaker 3: Me mushrooms In general, huh, people's response to it, yeah,
• 2:13:01
  Speaker 3: but it seems that there's different responses to different ones.
• 2:13:04
  Speaker 4: I know what I'm saying on the screen says what
• 2:13:06
  Speaker 4: I just said.
• 2:13:06
  Speaker 1: Huh.
• 2:13:07
  Speaker 3: I don't think there's enough research for perplexity to have
• 2:13:09
  Speaker 3: an educated answer. All right, how much research are they
• 2:13:12
  Speaker 3: doing out there talkative social on magic mushrooms? But there's
• 2:13:16
  Speaker 3: no specific mushroom reliably proven to make you talkative? All right,
• 2:13:20
  Speaker 3: Ask if there's a mushroom that makes you see little people?
• 2:13:25
  Speaker 3: I know, I know, but I want to see what
• 2:13:27
  Speaker 3: pro perplexity has to say about it. What does perplexity say?
• 2:13:31
  Speaker 3: Ask it about is there a mushroom that makes you
• 2:13:33
  Speaker 3: see little people? Let's see if it really is up
• 2:13:38
  Speaker 3: on its psychedelic science.
• 2:13:41
  Speaker 4: Repeat the articles.
• 2:13:42
  Speaker 3: I want to see what it says, though. It's just
• 2:13:45
  Speaker 3: a question to see how it handles this. Yes, a
• 2:13:52
  Speaker 3: specific edible mushroom called land moa uh assiatica has been
• 2:13:59
  Speaker 3: reported to was very vivid hallucinations. You say, hallucinations. Maybe
• 2:14:03
  Speaker 3: they're really little people right there, of little people when
• 2:14:06
  Speaker 3: it's undercooked, a phenomenon known as Lilliputian hallucinations. Some good
• 2:14:11
  Speaker 3: thing is, how do you know it's a hallucination? Maybe
• 2:14:15
  Speaker 3: you're just now can see these things that people have
• 2:14:17
  Speaker 3: been writing about for eons. How ignorant are people and
• 2:14:21
  Speaker 3: how arrogant are we that we know everything that's going
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 3: on all around us all the time.
• 2:14:26
  Speaker 1: We don't.
• 2:14:26
  Speaker 3: People have always thought gremlins were real and gnomes were real.
• 2:14:31
  Speaker 4: And fairies studying that since the sixties.
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 3: Of course they have been. I'm studying it right now.
• 2:14:37
  Speaker 3: Let's study Let's go study mushrooms.
• 2:14:40
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 2:14:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they've been studying it. But like the real problem is,
• 2:14:45
  Speaker 3: there's got to be a bunch of I know for
• 2:14:47
  Speaker 3: sure there's other strains that are much more potent, because
• 2:14:50
  Speaker 3: I know a guy who is a mushroom guy. He's
• 2:14:53
  Speaker 3: like deep in the world of mushrooms, and he was
• 2:14:55
  Speaker 3: explaining to me that there's one that's like ten x stronger,
• 2:14:58
  Speaker 3: and there's new ones that they found. I think they
• 2:15:00
  Speaker 3: found a new one. I want to say, in China
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 3: they found a new hallucinogenic mushroom. But this one, this
• 2:15:06
  Speaker 3: little Pusian one, is weird because it's not psilocybin. It's cooked.
• 2:15:10
  Speaker 4: This has something to do with cracking it.
• 2:15:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, might see them row. No, it's that I
• 2:15:15
  Speaker 3: think this might be the Chinese one because I think
• 2:15:18
  Speaker 3: it's a is it. Yeah, Okay, so this is a
• 2:15:21
  Speaker 3: conflated China So they eat it. If you cook it,
• 2:15:24
  Speaker 3: and you do a real good job cooking it, you
• 2:15:26
  Speaker 3: don't trip but apparently some people have not cooked it
• 2:15:29
  Speaker 3: and eating it and go, oh, wait a minute, what
• 2:15:31
  Speaker 3: are we cooking out of this? When you're you might
• 2:15:34
  Speaker 3: be cooking out whatever the mushroom is giving you to
• 2:15:37
  Speaker 3: let you see the spirit world or see the fairy
• 2:15:39
  Speaker 3: world or the gnome world or whatever it is.
• 2:15:43
  Speaker 4: Restaurant you can get into restaurants.
• 2:15:44
  Speaker 3: Let's go.
• 2:15:45
  Speaker 1: I'd be like, hey, hey, he undercooked my.
• 2:15:49
  Speaker 3: Just put it on some salad dressing, said that out,
• 2:15:52
  Speaker 3: Let's go.
• 2:15:53
  Speaker 1: I don't have Unfortunately, I don't have a problem with mushrooms.
• 2:15:57
  Speaker 3: I think that, and I like, unfortunately, what do you mean?
• 2:16:00
  Speaker 1: Because you know, some people.
• 2:16:01
  Speaker 5: Were like, you shouldn't be on that, But I don't
• 2:16:04
  Speaker 5: have a problem with mushrooms, And especially if I'm in
• 2:16:07
  Speaker 5: a in a safe environment, but being at the lows
• 2:16:13
  Speaker 5: on mushrooms.
• 2:16:15
  Speaker 1: That's not That's not the best place to be.
• 2:16:18
  Speaker 3: Like also trying to fight it. If you fight it,
• 2:16:20
  Speaker 3: you're fucked. If you if you if you start going
• 2:16:23
  Speaker 3: and you start no, I don't like this. Oh can
• 2:16:27
  Speaker 3: it get dark on you?
• 2:16:28
  Speaker 4: Like?
• 2:16:28
  Speaker 3: I've tried to it.
• 2:16:30
  Speaker 5: I've had them in chocolate, like a little chocolate squares,
• 2:16:33
  Speaker 5: and it's been it's been a time.
• 2:16:36
  Speaker 3: I don't there's been a time, but sometimes you can get.
• 2:16:38
  Speaker 5: Right to see little people. I definitely want to be somewhere,
• 2:16:44
  Speaker 5: or I don't. I just need to be somewhere safe.
• 2:16:48
  Speaker 3: Brian Simpson has a lyrics story about someone gave him
• 2:16:50
  Speaker 3: a mushroom chocolate bar and he put it in his
• 2:16:53
  Speaker 3: freezer and forgot, forgot that it was a mushroom bar,
• 2:16:56
  Speaker 3: and then just ate the whole thing and just went
• 2:16:59
  Speaker 3: to Pluto. He's like Doctor Manhattan sitting on Mars fucking
• 2:17:07
  Speaker 3: Lotus position.
• 2:17:09
  Speaker 4: This one's kind of strange. It says it doesn't matter
• 2:17:11
  Speaker 4: who you are or what you do, you're gonna have
• 2:17:14
  Speaker 4: the same experience as everybody else has done it.
• 2:17:16
  Speaker 3: Okay, at that point in time, when do we start
• 2:17:20
  Speaker 3: to say, maybe there's something in this substance, this compound,
• 2:17:24
  Speaker 3: this molecule that lets you interact with something that's real,
• 2:17:27
  Speaker 3: that's around you. If it's repeatable over and over and
• 2:17:29
  Speaker 3: over again, If all these people see the same thing
• 2:17:31
  Speaker 3: over and over and over again, and people have been
• 2:17:34
  Speaker 3: writing about it since the beginning of time, They've been
• 2:17:36
  Speaker 3: writing about elves and fairies and gnomes and magic people
• 2:17:40
  Speaker 3: in the woods, what do you think they were doing.

  Speaker 3: It's like, I don't do it for people that don't
• 2:19:18
  Speaker 3: know they want to watch it. It's the people are
• 2:19:20
  Speaker 3: trapped in this town. They're all the same circumstance. There's
• 2:19:24
  Speaker 3: a down tree in the road. They can't go further,
• 2:19:27
  Speaker 3: so they they turn around and they find themselves in
• 2:19:29
  Speaker 3: a loop that keeps leading them through the same over
• 2:19:32
  Speaker 3: and over and over and over again, and no one
• 2:19:33
  Speaker 3: in the town can escape. And at nighttime monsters come
• 2:19:37
  Speaker 3: out and they look like people. They look like a mailman,
• 2:19:40
  Speaker 3: they look very.
• 2:19:41
  Speaker 1: Scary ass milkman. It's like that milkman is.
• 2:19:45
  Speaker 3: Insane, that that old lady that knocks in the window. Oh, terrifying,
• 2:19:50
  Speaker 3: terrifying show. It gives me anxiety, and I know it's
• 2:19:53
  Speaker 3: all fake.
• 2:19:54
  Speaker 5: It's it's like it's a crazy show. Yeah, and season
• 2:20:01
  Speaker 5: four is even more bizarre. Like everything that I be thinking.
• 2:20:07
  Speaker 5: I was like, yo, I think this is what it is,
• 2:20:09
  Speaker 5: and then it don't.
• 2:20:10
  Speaker 1: It doesn't be that. But then it had come and
• 2:20:12

  Speaker 1: I don't know the freak this show is going.
• 2:20:19
  Speaker 3: They don't know, no one knows where it's going. But
• 2:20:21
  Speaker 3: it's like Lost. The same people that made Lost made
• 2:20:24
  Speaker 3: that show. Word that's why it has that same sort
• 2:20:27
  Speaker 3: of feel like crazy doesn't make nothing. Nothing you can't
• 2:20:31
  Speaker 3: predict what's going to happen, makes sense and lurid entertaining.
• 2:20:35
  Speaker 1: Lloyd tickles this ship out. Lloyd is mad about it
• 2:20:38
  Speaker 1: every god.
• 2:20:40
  Speaker 5: Like but it's so it's a crazy, it's crazy, but
• 2:20:44
  Speaker 5: it's very interesting, Like I don't miss it.
• 2:20:46
  Speaker 3: I love it. Yeah, I've been binging it. So I started,
• 2:20:51
  Speaker 3: I guess me and my wife started about a month
• 2:20:55
  Speaker 3: ago or so, and we burned through the first three
• 2:20:58
  Speaker 3: seasons and now to the fourth. Yeah, it's good, and
• 2:21:03
  Speaker 3: I think the next season's coming out in twenty twenty seven.
• 2:21:05
  Speaker 3: But I don't only I think the next season is
• 2:21:07
  Speaker 3: the last season unless they decide to keep it going. Finale,
• 2:21:11
  Speaker 3: it's the finale.
• 2:21:12
  Speaker 4: So they just announced that it's going to be the
• 2:21:13
  Speaker 4: last season and maybe maybe.
• 2:21:16
  Speaker 3: When that money comes wrong. But the thing about this
• 2:21:18
  Speaker 3: kind of show is you could do whatever you want, like, yeah,
• 2:21:21
  Speaker 3: you go back in time. You could do wild shit,
• 2:21:23
  Speaker 3: Like I don't want to give anything away. But there's
• 2:21:25
  Speaker 3: no rules, there's you can make anything happen.
• 2:21:29
  Speaker 1: You can make anything.
• 2:21:30
  Speaker 3: It's a very strange show, but it's very entertaining.
• 2:21:33
  Speaker 1: Oh man, it's a very entertaining show. Yeah.
• 2:21:36
  Speaker 3: But if you want to just sit at home and
• 2:21:38
  Speaker 3: watch shit and not do anything, ma'am, you never picked
• 2:21:42
  Speaker 3: a better time to be alive. You can waste your
• 2:21:45
  Speaker 3: whole life just staring at the screen.
• 2:21:48
  Speaker 5: Like when I ask people, because my my palette for
• 2:21:52
  Speaker 5: what I take in is different than a lot of people.
• 2:21:56
  Speaker 5: You and I turn people onto a show, like when
• 2:21:58
  Speaker 5: I turned my boy on the Pinky Blinders. I was like,
• 2:22:01
  Speaker 5: yokey Blinders is a great was like, Yo, you gotta
• 2:22:04
  Speaker 5: watch Pinky. He called me and was like, Yo, this
• 2:22:06
  Speaker 5: is crazy. And I remember my boy Dlay got so
• 2:22:09
  Speaker 5: invested in what was the first show, the Motorcycle Show
• 2:22:14
  Speaker 5: that I turned them onto.
• 2:22:17
  Speaker 3: I know what you're talking about. I never watched it.
• 2:22:20
  Speaker 3: What is that show? That motorcycle Show that everybody liked?
• 2:22:23
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm talking about, ms Man.
• 2:22:26
  Speaker 5: I turned him on The Sons of anarchy, and it's
• 2:22:28
  Speaker 5: a person on there that you kind of get invested in.
• 2:22:32
  Speaker 1: And I remember he called me and said something about
• 2:22:35
  Speaker 1: him and I was like, yo, who, like who what
• 2:22:38
  Speaker 1: what you say?
• 2:22:39
  Speaker 5: And I'm putting on my shoes and then I noticed
• 2:22:43
  Speaker 5: are you talking about the person on the on Sunday?
• 2:22:46
  Speaker 1: He said, yeah, that's fucked up what they did. I
• 2:22:50
  Speaker 1: was like, yo, you you're crazy.
• 2:22:52
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 2:22:52
  Speaker 5: He's like, no, I'm so invested, and like I was like, yo, man,
• 2:22:57
  Speaker 5: you are a wild person. But you know, so sons
• 2:23:00
  Speaker 5: of anarchy, pinky blinders. Like I was big on Yellowstone
• 2:23:05
  Speaker 5: and now the two spinoffs of Yellowstone, Marshalls and the
• 2:23:10
  Speaker 5: Dutton Ranch. I can't not watch it like is it's
• 2:23:15
  Speaker 5: It's some good shows out there, and I just can't
• 2:23:19
  Speaker 5: watch the typical stuff.
• 2:23:21
  Speaker 1: I gotta watch something that has a little more to
• 2:23:24
  Speaker 1: it than what.
• 2:23:28
  Speaker 5: Normal people will watch, because I like to see normal
• 2:23:31
  Speaker 5: people in shows like something I can relate to the
• 2:23:34
  Speaker 5: Dutton Ranch, you know, being Texas, this is I don't
• 2:23:40
  Speaker 5: how ranching is. This is how I always experienced how
• 2:23:44
  Speaker 5: ranching goes with cows and and how you keep your
• 2:23:48
  Speaker 5: land and all these different fights that people have over Land.
• 2:23:52
  Speaker 1: I'm like, shit, shit is pretty interesting.
• 2:23:56
  Speaker 3: That tailor Sheridan's a friend of mine. This guy made that.
• 2:24:00
  Speaker 3: He was on here the other day talking about it.
• 2:24:03
  Speaker 3: But the other show that I love is Land Man,
• 2:24:05
  Speaker 3: same kind deal. It's all about the oil industry. You
• 2:24:09
  Speaker 3: just realize, like, oh Jesus, is this how all this works.
• 2:24:11
  Speaker 5: It's other things happening in life, and it's way more
• 2:24:15
  Speaker 5: notorious people than a drug dealing show.
• 2:24:19
  Speaker 1: This is man. Crude oil is a business, So.
• 2:24:24
  Speaker 3: It's such a big business. Of course you're going to
• 2:24:26
  Speaker 3: get devious.
• 2:24:27
  Speaker 1: Going and you're gonna get shit happening to Yeah.
• 2:24:31
  Speaker 3: The real world of oil must be nuts. It must
• 2:24:34
  Speaker 3: be nuts. I mean, that's why we're in war right now.
• 2:24:36
  Speaker 1: And you have to be ruthless, you know, with oil,
• 2:24:41
  Speaker 1: Like that's a big thing.
• 2:24:42
  Speaker 5: And I don't understand fake meat, Like why would people
• 2:24:46
  Speaker 5: be giving somebody fake meat?
• 2:24:48
  Speaker 3: Because they make money selling fake meat. That's why. I mean,
• 2:24:52
  Speaker 3: that's that's what a lot of people were trying to
• 2:24:54
  Speaker 3: push while they're saying that cows are bad cow's and
• 2:24:57
  Speaker 3: methans the environment. Man, it's bullshit. All they're doing is
• 2:25:02
  Speaker 3: trying to someone is pushing this idea that we need
• 2:25:05
  Speaker 3: to stop eating meat because they're profiting off of us
• 2:25:07
  Speaker 3: not eating meat.
• 2:25:08
  Speaker 1: That's what it is.
• 2:25:09
  Speaker 3: That's all it is. It's not bad for you. It's
• 2:25:12
  Speaker 3: good for you. You need it protein, it's super healthy,
• 2:25:15
  Speaker 3: one of the best foods in the world for you.
• 2:25:17
  Speaker 3: There's just a bunch of horse shit out there saying
• 2:25:18
  Speaker 3: that we need to eat less meat for the environment. Now,
• 2:25:22
  Speaker 3: we need to figure out how to not pollute, that's
• 2:25:25
  Speaker 3: for sure, But regenerative farms aren't polluting. You're full shit.
• 2:25:28
  Speaker 3: It's not true. You know. If you want to say
• 2:25:31
  Speaker 3: we need to stop doing factory farming, okay, maybe yeah,
• 2:25:35
  Speaker 3: that's probably a good thing to do, But you need
• 2:25:36
  Speaker 3: to figure out how to feed all these fucking people.
• 2:25:39
  Speaker 3: You've developed a system that's entirely reliant on massive amounts
• 2:25:43
  Speaker 3: of animals moving through. The amount of chickens that people
• 2:25:46
  Speaker 3: eat in America every day is crazy. It's what is
• 2:25:51
  Speaker 3: the amount of chickens that get consumed in America every day?
• 2:25:54
  Speaker 3: Let's guess.
• 2:25:57
  Speaker 1: Twenty million at least least.
• 2:26:01
  Speaker 3: I want to say, fifty million, fifty million chickens a day.
• 2:26:04
  Speaker 3: How many million chickens a day get killed? Oh? Okay,
• 2:26:08
  Speaker 3: how many do we eat? How many millions of chickens
• 2:26:11
  Speaker 3: do we eat every day in America?
• 2:26:13
  Speaker 1: Because I know I can account for three in my house.
• 2:26:18
  Speaker 3: Twenty two million chickens every day. Son, that's nuts. That
• 2:26:23
  Speaker 3: is a crazy amount. That's way bigger than the entire
• 2:26:27
  Speaker 3: residents of Los Angeles. If every person was a chicken,
• 2:26:31
  Speaker 3: every we eat that amount in this country every day.
• 2:26:34
  Speaker 3: That's crazy.
• 2:26:35
  Speaker 5: In my home alone, if we roasting chicken and were
• 2:26:40
  Speaker 5: going to get a roast chicken, we're gonna get three
• 2:26:42
  Speaker 5: of them because it's going to I didn't even know
• 2:26:44
  Speaker 5: that I could eat a whole chicken by myself until
• 2:26:47
  Speaker 5: I did it. It's like, yo, man, is this muslim
• 2:26:54
  Speaker 5: um grocery store they sell them in there. It's already roasted,
• 2:26:58
  Speaker 5: and you get two garlic sauces with each chicken. And
• 2:27:02
  Speaker 5: once you dip a piece of that chicken and they garga,
• 2:27:05
  Speaker 5: it's not gonna survive. Like it's like, I've bought three
• 2:27:09
  Speaker 5: of them because I know if two are going to
• 2:27:10
  Speaker 5: make it home, I have to eat this one by myself.
• 2:27:13
  Speaker 5: And they put on a piece of peit of bread.
• 2:27:15
  Speaker 5: It's already roasted, and it's insane that I would eat
• 2:27:20
  Speaker 5: a whole chicken by myself.
• 2:27:21
  Speaker 3: Estimate suggests twenty four to twenty six million chickens are
• 2:27:24
  Speaker 3: killed every day in the United States for meat. So
• 2:27:28
  Speaker 3: if you don't want factory farming, you got to figure
• 2:27:32
  Speaker 3: out a solution where you can get twenty six million
• 2:27:34
  Speaker 3: chickens a day, or you convince people that need to
• 2:27:37
  Speaker 3: stop eating meat.
• 2:27:39
  Speaker 5: But if we look at like say if I'm looking
• 2:27:42
  Speaker 5: at a show on Game of Throngs or House Dragons,
• 2:27:47
  Speaker 5: when I would see them sit down to eat, it
• 2:27:50
  Speaker 5: was a lot of meat on that table.
• 2:27:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, very variations of meat.
• 2:27:55
  Speaker 5: It's a whole thing. I've never seen the Kings sit down.
• 2:27:58
  Speaker 5: It wasn't a whole entire pig on the table.
• 2:28:03
  Speaker 1: And then if you.
• 2:28:05
  Speaker 5: Most people haven't bought a lamb, and you think that
• 2:28:09
  Speaker 5: a lamb is enough, it depends on what you on.
• 2:28:14
  Speaker 5: Who's there, if you if we if it's he it
• 2:28:17
  Speaker 5: and it's after the fast and you put a lamb
• 2:28:20
  Speaker 5: on a few and all these Muslim families come your ouse,
• 2:28:24
  Speaker 5: that's that's not enough.
• 2:28:25
  Speaker 1: You need another lamb. You need you need two lambs,
• 2:28:28
  Speaker 1: like whole lambs like it.
• 2:28:30
  Speaker 3: Man, It's meat is delicious, it's great. For you too.
• 2:28:34
  Speaker 3: Don't let anybody tell you any difference.
• 2:28:36
  Speaker 5: And and they can, but I'm not really listening, like
• 2:28:39
  Speaker 5: when somebody tell when somebody tell me about a vegan situation,
• 2:28:43
  Speaker 5: I'll listen to you, but none of it is going.
• 2:28:48
  Speaker 5: And it's like you know how I say, something comes
• 2:28:50
  Speaker 5: in one end and go out the other. It's not
• 2:28:52
  Speaker 5: even going in the ear.
• 2:28:53
  Speaker 1: It's like it's like I've already made my decision, Like okay,
• 2:28:56
  Speaker 1: I'll fear you, but I'm not really listening to you.
• 2:29:00
  Speaker 1: I'm eating the lamb go.
• 2:29:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, life eats life. It's just the factory farming
• 2:29:06
  Speaker 3: thing is the uncomfortable part. That's the gross part. And
• 2:29:09
  Speaker 3: if you just were on a ranch, it's natural.
• 2:29:13
  Speaker 1: You want to get overtaken.
• 2:29:15
  Speaker 5: Just let the animals just do their thing and see
• 2:29:19
  Speaker 5: how many see see don't you see a I am
• 2:29:22
  Speaker 5: legend taught you that, Like, yo, how many.
• 2:29:27
  Speaker 1: Antlers ran through a play with a stampede?
• 2:29:30
  Speaker 5: Like it's a so even like with the thing that
• 2:29:33
  Speaker 5: happens in the ocean sardines, right, so it's mass. All
• 2:29:38
  Speaker 5: these mass sardines come one spot. Then the whales come first,
• 2:29:43
  Speaker 5: then the sharks come, and then then we.
• 2:29:47
  Speaker 1: Still get sardines.
• 2:29:49
  Speaker 5: After all these this ecosystem is eating, we still get sardines.
• 2:29:53
  Speaker 5: It's you're not running out of natural for if you
• 2:29:57
  Speaker 5: let everything do it do his thing. You know, do
• 2:29:59
  Speaker 5: you know how many jellyfish it is? Somebody should start
• 2:30:02
  Speaker 5: eating them? And then because that is a crazy jellyfish.
• 2:30:06
  Speaker 1: Can mob out like mob out and they can kill you,
• 2:30:10
  Speaker 1: and they can kill you. Yeah, somebody eat them. Something
• 2:30:13
  Speaker 1: eats them.
• 2:30:14
  Speaker 3: You can eat them at Chinese restaurants. I've had jellyfish before.
• 2:30:17
  Speaker 1: Was it good?
• 2:30:17
  Speaker 3: I don't remember it being good. I don't remember where
• 2:30:20
  Speaker 3: I ate it, but I remember someone cooked a specific
• 2:30:23
  Speaker 3: type of jellyfish and I was like, okay, So I
• 2:30:25
  Speaker 3: didn't even know you could cook that in Texas and
• 2:30:28
  Speaker 3: jellyfish are edible.
• 2:30:31
  Speaker 5: In Texas and Louisiana. The amount of crawfish that we
• 2:30:35
  Speaker 5: eat in two months is literally insane.
• 2:30:39
  Speaker 3: Imagine they didn't imagine what crawfish would be.
• 2:30:42
  Speaker 5: Imagine I know I can account for at least fifty
• 2:30:47
  Speaker 5: pounds by myselfe.
• 2:30:50
  Speaker 3: How many crawfish there would be if people weren't eating them.
• 2:30:53
  Speaker 3: Like when I was a kid, I grew up in
• 2:30:55
  Speaker 3: Florida for a while, we lived in Florida in Gainesville,
• 2:30:57
  Speaker 3: and there was allegace the Florida but they were protect
• 2:31:00
  Speaker 3: did back then, the alligators were protected, like the Everglades.
• 2:31:04
  Speaker 3: Well it wasn't the Everglades quite here, Okay, hold on
• 2:31:07
  Speaker 3: edible jellyfish, best known edible species and using Asian cuisine.
• 2:31:12
  Speaker 3: Oh boy, try to say that word. Rope Belema escalentum,
• 2:31:18
  Speaker 3: often referred to as the Japanese edible jellyfish. That's a
• 2:31:21
  Speaker 3: lot easier, or flame jellyfish. Yeah, so there's a few
• 2:31:25
  Speaker 3: different species of jellyfish. Anyway, My point was when I
• 2:31:30
  Speaker 3: was a kid, alligators were protected and they were at
• 2:31:32
  Speaker 3: this lake and you could see them and people would
• 2:31:34
  Speaker 3: throw marshballs in the water and the alligators would eat them.
• 2:31:37
  Speaker 3: And then now there's too many, like there's so many
• 2:31:43
  Speaker 3: alligators there now, like they can't get rid of them.
• 2:31:45
  Speaker 3: They're they're in every body of water. Everywhere you go,
• 2:31:47
  Speaker 3: there's alligators. Yeah, the entire Everglades filled with alligators, golf
• 2:31:53
  Speaker 3: courses filled with alligators.
• 2:31:54
  Speaker 1: I remember when they when they kid got eaten that
• 2:31:59
  Speaker 1: oh Disney World.
• 2:32:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and I was like, yo, that's insanity, because I
• 2:32:04
  Speaker 5: don't trust a puddle of water in Florida. No, I
• 2:32:08
  Speaker 5: a puddle. It could be a puddle. I'm like, it's
• 2:32:10
  Speaker 5: an alligator there. It's like what they removed four hundred
• 2:32:13
  Speaker 5: some odd alligators from disney World.
• 2:32:16
  Speaker 3: Oh, they remove them all the time. They have to
• 2:32:19
  Speaker 3: check every day. I have to go back there and
• 2:32:21
  Speaker 3: make sure that there's no alligators.
• 2:32:22
  Speaker 1: It's like a huge number.
• 2:32:24
  Speaker 3: It's a huge number.
• 2:32:25
  Speaker 5: That's like maybe twenty four this year, forty or something
• 2:32:28
  Speaker 5: this year, but it's four hundred and something in a
• 2:32:31
  Speaker 5: wild Like that's insane.
• 2:32:32
  Speaker 3: You know, disney World has a bass fishing lake. You
• 2:32:35
  Speaker 3: can go bass fishing at disney World. There's like a
• 2:32:38
  Speaker 3: little trip that you take. You go there. Four hundred
• 2:32:41
  Speaker 3: and fourteen alligators removed from disney World since Toddler's death
• 2:32:44
  Speaker 3: ten years ago. That's a lot of monsters. It's a
• 2:32:49
  Speaker 3: lot of monsters. Man, they're legit monsters.
• 2:32:53
  Speaker 1: I remember when I was in Guam.
• 2:32:55
  Speaker 5: I was in Guam doing the show and I think
• 2:32:57
  Speaker 5: the military moved there and it was a bird that
• 2:33:00
  Speaker 5: they was trying to protect, and so they killed all
• 2:33:04
  Speaker 5: these snakes. And this is how when you change the
• 2:33:06
  Speaker 5: ecosystem to something, something happens.
• 2:33:09
  Speaker 1: So the snakes.
• 2:33:11
  Speaker 5: Not only were they eating that bird, but they were
• 2:33:14
  Speaker 5: eating and controlling the toad population. So when they got
• 2:33:19
  Speaker 5: rid of the snake, we were coming back from the
• 2:33:23
  Speaker 5: show and it's like it's literally hundreds of.
• 2:33:28
  Speaker 1: Thousands of frogs that come out at night. They everywhere.
• 2:33:34
  Speaker 5: It's like you just see them flat in the street
• 2:33:36
  Speaker 5: because you can't not you can't miss them there. It
• 2:33:39
  Speaker 5: was hundreds of thousands of frogs on WAM and I
• 2:33:44
  Speaker 5: was like, yo, man, they up everything.
• 2:33:46
  Speaker 3: They gotta do something, man, people Metal, bring the snake back,
• 2:33:49
  Speaker 3: got to bring the snakes stop. Stop, stop your bullshit
• 2:33:55
  Speaker 3: people just Metal. I mean, there's so many countries that
• 2:33:58
  Speaker 3: are infested with animals. The people brought in to kill
• 2:34:01
  Speaker 3: other animals, you know, like Australia is a giant feral
• 2:34:04
  Speaker 3: cat problem. They brought in feral cats, I think to
• 2:34:07
  Speaker 3: kill it. I forget what species. I think it was
• 2:34:10
  Speaker 3: a toad.
• 2:34:10
  Speaker 1: They were trying to kill off my neighborhood as a
• 2:34:12
  Speaker 1: goddamn cat problem.
• 2:34:15
  Speaker 5: My neighborhood is like one cat has some babies and
• 2:34:21
  Speaker 5: my family had something to do with it. We fed,
• 2:34:23
  Speaker 5: we fed the cat, and then of.
• 2:34:25
  Speaker 3: Course you want to be nice. Meanwhile, they're killing billions
• 2:34:30
  Speaker 3: of birds every year in this country. Cats. So I
• 2:34:33
  Speaker 3: love cats. I love cats too, but they kill billions
• 2:34:36
  Speaker 3: house Cats kill billions of birds and mammals in this
• 2:34:39
  Speaker 3: country every year.
• 2:34:40
  Speaker 5: If you don't have a bug problem, if you have
• 2:34:42
  Speaker 5: a cat in your house, because you know, we had
• 2:34:44
  Speaker 5: these water bugs. They call them cockroaches. But I've watched
• 2:34:48
  Speaker 5: it before I left. The cat that just outside he
• 2:34:51
  Speaker 5: was just slapping one around. It's like five of them
• 2:34:53
  Speaker 5: dead out there. He was just slapping one around, like
• 2:34:56
  Speaker 5: just toying with him.
• 2:34:58
  Speaker 1: But I don't mind because then they never or make
• 2:35:00
  Speaker 1: it into my house. It's like cats.
• 2:35:04
  Speaker 3: You know about the four pest campaign that happened in China.
• 2:35:07
  Speaker 1: What is that?
• 2:35:08
  Speaker 3: What they do?
• 2:35:09
  Speaker 4: It explains it to you in just these little form.
• 2:35:10
  Speaker 3: Under MAU aimed at exterminating rats, flies, mosquitos, and sparrows
• 2:35:14
  Speaker 3: as a part of the Great Leap Forward. It was
• 2:35:17
  Speaker 3: framed as a public hygiene and agricultural protection drive meant
• 2:35:20
  Speaker 3: to reduce disease and protect grain from being eaten or contaminated.
• 2:35:23
  Speaker 3: Mass mobilization methods included trapping and poisoning rats, swatting flies, mosquitos,
• 2:35:28
  Speaker 3: and organized efforts to scare and kill sparrows.
• 2:35:33
  Speaker 4: It was like that, it's before you get to the end. Here.
• 2:35:35
  Speaker 4: They had one little problem, so they introduced something else
• 2:35:37
  Speaker 4: to fix that problem. That created a new problem, so
• 2:35:39
  Speaker 4: they introduced something else to fix that problem. Yeah, ended
• 2:35:42
  Speaker 4: here with tens of millions of people dying from a
• 2:35:45
  Speaker 4: famine because they didn't have the natural ecosystem.
• 2:35:49
  Speaker 3: So this is crazy. So sparrows were targeted because they
• 2:35:53
  Speaker 3: ate grain seeds, but they also consumed large numbers of
• 2:35:56
  Speaker 3: crop eating insects. Their near extinction caused an ecoloze imbalance,
• 2:36:00
  Speaker 3: leading to insect population booms, lower crop yields, and contributing
• 2:36:04
  Speaker 3: to Chinese famine, the Great Chinese Famine, which tens of
• 2:36:07
  Speaker 3: millions died. Wow, you to get something, Yeah, man, you
• 2:36:12
  Speaker 3: don't think you're smarter than nature, you dumb fuck.
• 2:36:16
  Speaker 1: You gotta give something to get because there's.
• 2:36:18
  Speaker 3: A balance out there and we don't totally understand that balance.
• 2:36:21
  Speaker 1: What's this fish that we have now, Asian carp.
• 2:36:25
  Speaker 3: The one that's infested all the different lakes, and then
• 2:36:27
  Speaker 3: the snakehead that's another one.
• 2:36:29
  Speaker 1: Then that the jon't that torpedoes up, So.
• 2:36:32
  Speaker 3: That's the Asian carp. Yeah, they fly through the air.
• 2:36:34
  Speaker 3: When you're in a boat, they just for whatever reason,
• 2:36:36
  Speaker 3: when you're in a boat, they just try to throw
• 2:36:38
  Speaker 3: themselves onto the boat, like, give me the fuck out
• 2:36:43
  Speaker 3: of this lake. There's so many of them, and they
• 2:36:46
  Speaker 3: don't have a natural predator, and that they bring them
• 2:36:48
  Speaker 3: into places sometimes to clean up the algae. And then
• 2:36:51
  Speaker 3: also now you have a carp problem. Now the car
• 2:36:54
  Speaker 3: beat all the algae. They eat everything where it's like
• 2:36:57
  Speaker 3: your whole lake looks like a swimming pool. There's no
• 2:36:59
  Speaker 3: algae left. Look at these fucking things. That is crazy.
• 2:37:04
  Speaker 3: That's the Illinois River. I mean, this is just one
• 2:37:06
  Speaker 3: hundreds of fish just flying through the air everywhere they go.
• 2:37:11
  Speaker 3: How nuts is that? You ever see people they shoot
• 2:37:13
  Speaker 3: them with bows and arrows, so they wait from the
• 2:37:15
  Speaker 3: hop up in the end they try to catch them
• 2:37:17
  Speaker 3: in the air with a bow and arrow. Yeah, there's
• 2:37:20
  Speaker 3: a bunch of people do that. That's a very popular sport.
• 2:37:26
  Speaker 1: Is this fish edible?
• 2:37:27
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I've never heard of anybody eat. I
• 2:37:30
  Speaker 3: know people eat regular carp. I don't know if asian
• 2:37:33
  Speaker 3: is Asian carp edible. Yep, there you go.
• 2:37:38
  Speaker 1: It's lean and nutritious, clean flavor, so I would just
• 2:37:43
  Speaker 1: have a net roll them behind me in.
• 2:37:45
  Speaker 3: The filet of fish. There you go, don't you guys
• 2:37:47
  Speaker 3: need product? There you go, get out there with bows
• 2:37:50
  Speaker 3: and arrows and get it done.
• 2:37:51
  Speaker 5: How many crawlfish does Texas and Louisiana consume in crawfish season?
• 2:37:57
  Speaker 3: That's a good question. I guess you would have to
• 2:37:59
  Speaker 3: do it pounds, right? Would you do it in pounds
• 2:38:01
  Speaker 3: or millions of actual crawfish? Because they they don't measure
• 2:38:05
  Speaker 3: them in individuals. They wait may buy weight, right, because
• 2:38:09
  Speaker 3: they're kind of.
• 2:38:10
  Speaker 1: They go buy weight.
• 2:38:11
  Speaker 3: How many pounds of crawfish do you think Texas? Just
• 2:38:14
  Speaker 3: say Texas and Louisiana in a year fifty million?
• 2:38:20
  Speaker 4: I have to ask again, but it did give me
• 2:38:22
  Speaker 4: ninety percent of the farm crawfish comes from Louisiana.
• 2:38:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, wow, how many pounds? Give me the answer? How
• 2:38:31
  Speaker 3: many pounds is? I know I went way too high?
• 2:38:34
  Speaker 3: How many pounds does Texas and Louisiana consume in a year?
• 2:38:38
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna say two million pounds? No, I gotta be
• 2:38:43
  Speaker 3: really two million pounds a lot. It's fucking way more
• 2:38:47
  Speaker 3: than that. What is it?
• 2:38:48
