00:01:06.000So yeah, he was going out with this crazy, I won't call her a B-word because I'm sure he has legal troubles, but they would have crazy fights.
00:01:15.000And he'd have to call the police because she threatened to kill herself twice.
00:01:21.000And they'd get fights and the neighbors would call the cops, the hotels would call the cops, people would call the cops.
00:01:28.000And he went to jail because that's how it works in this country.
00:01:32.000It's funny, too, because as a man with a daughter, I'm like, good.
00:01:36.000If anyone gets called, throw them in jail because I want women to be protected in society.
00:01:41.000But it's possible that some ladies may take advantage of that culture.
00:01:48.000Anyway, I bailed him out the first time, $1,000.
00:01:51.000I didn't bail him out the second time, his grandparents did, I believe.
00:01:55.000And he got out of jail and I said, I told you to stay away from her.
00:05:27.000If you two are still around at 96, I think I may have to leave the car, the garage door closed while you pull into the driveway so you get a nice dose of carbon monoxide.
00:05:42.000Listen, don't die, just do not discarbon monoxide.
00:05:48.000That is seemingly what we're trying to do with carbon dioxide in getting rid of carbon dioxide and breaking it down into carbon monoxide.
00:06:03.000Because once you have carbon dioxide, you end up with two parts carbon monoxide, which is much more healthy.
00:10:36.000And then I said, no, God, I'm going to do one more train.
00:10:39.000And he goes, all right, well, I'm getting you caught and it's going to fuck up your day because you're an asshole.
00:10:44.000I know I'm contradicting myself because I'm implying that people are in jail because they fucked up and they just kept pushing it and pushing it and pushing it.
00:10:53.000But do you belong in jail for a year because you kept going back to a, I'm not going to say crazy bitch, but a very dramatic person who has mental issues?
00:11:37.000And I went there and back then they did it right.
00:11:40.000Even murder, you'd get like five years.
00:11:43.000And you would just sit in a room and read the Bible and you'd have a little area you could walk out and it was very civil and it was about penance and religion and it worked and they stopped doing that and now we just throw people in cages and they get mired in this tar of bureaucracy where they could be waiting a year at Rikers.
00:12:02.000Anyway, this is all covered in my free speech episode with Dr. Michael Eric Tyson and Michelle Monken.
00:12:08.000I sat with Michelle and had a beer after the show.
00:12:11.000That woman is so fascinating, it's disturbing.
00:12:35.000And Michelle was talking to me about pain management and how some of these parents with these children who are suffering from chronic pain, they subsume their pain and it becomes their identity, like the people with trans kids.
00:12:48.000And it becomes sort of a Munchausen syndrome where the parents enable these kids to whine.
00:12:54.000And look, if you have chronic pain, you have chronic pain.
00:12:57.000But a big part of surviving chronic pain is bucking up and just taking it, becoming Walt Kowalski and Gran Torino.
00:13:16.000So I want you to say things I've never thought of before.
00:13:19.000And that's what's great about experiencing different cultures.
00:13:23.000And when I say different cultures, I mean like cops, different Western cultures, talking to different people, meeting people who have been to prison.
00:13:31.000You know, you gain more empathy, you gain more humanity the more people you meet.
00:13:37.000And talking to Dr. Michael Eric Tyson, Dyson, I don't know, he said he'd been on a ride along, but I'm dubious.
00:13:44.000Because when you ride along with a cop, you go, oh, this is what it's like.
00:13:47.000Or even when we did a commercial once with Rooster, it was called How to Survive in Prison, and we were in an abandoned prison in the Bronx.
00:13:53.000I mean, they had kiboshed it and moved to a nicer one, but they still kept it open for commercial shoots and stuff.
00:13:59.000And just when you're in that cell and the doors go gong, that gun, knowing you can't leave, it's up to someone else when you leave, it strikes you deep in your spine.
00:14:18.000And even those four hours, when the door went gong, and I was in a cool part of the jail where I could hang out with the detectives, like in the show Barney Miller, I could have my hands leaning out and I was riffing with them.
00:25:45.000Star Wars with Nail and I. So what they've done is they've taken parts of With Nail and I and dubbed it into Star Wars, and it might be a fun way to get you interested in this movie, which I'm at the point now where I'm jealous of people who haven't seen it because I've seen it So many times that I'm just watching, like, I'm just like putting on the Rolling Stones and listening to satisfaction.
00:26:05.000It's just like a greatest hits kind of thing.
00:26:10.000But yeah, the plot is two out-of-work actors in 1970 London who cannot get work and they have a rich uncle, Uncle Monty, and Monty loans them his summer cabin, which it turns out is a piece of shit because rich people, they like to be rustic in Britain.
00:26:30.000Old money rich people in Britain, they have like a tiny stone cabin where you have to do everything yourself because they're not, you know, nouveau riche.
00:28:26.000Fucking Richard E. Grant came to New York City recently and did a Q ⁇ A about Whitnail and I for fans, and I didn't know about it until it was over.
00:28:36.000If I get a time machine, I'm not killing Hitler.
00:28:44.000But the quotes from it, and my wife and I, we don't agree on politics and we can drift apart sometimes, but every time our marriage is not going perfectly, we watch that movie together and it just realigns us.
00:28:56.000We get drunk and we watch the whole thing and just, you know, recite it as it's going.
00:29:03.000And it reminds both of us how much we love each other and how much we have in common.
00:29:06.000Another fun thing to do with your wife, by the way, is we lie on the carpet and we listen to records because we have the same taste in music.
00:29:14.000Hooskerdew and, you know, old sort of 90s, 80s hardcore, the replacements, Minneapolis kind of Midwest stuff, Diekrutsen even.
00:31:12.000Perhaps the last island of beauty in the world.
00:31:18.000I've just realized here that I'm telling you about a very important movie, and I'm just showing you clips of a homosexual and then giggling maniacally.
00:31:53.000So it's conceivable that you will not take these movie recommendations to heart, but you will on tomorrow's episode because it involves Animal House.
00:32:08.000Get fired, get in trouble, be brave, and never stop fighting.
00:32:12.000And by the way, when I say get fired, I don't mean for dating a lunatic.
00:32:16.000I mean for being yourself and being proud of who you are.
