Skipped traffic in LA. There's no way he's not doing that again.
00:00:21.000
I'm only home for less than 24 hours this trip, and I was panicking, and then I was like, what does it cost to get a helicopter?
00:00:28.000
My assistant Andrew, my cousin Andrew, was like, he's like, let's check.
00:00:32.000
And he's like, it's actually, it's not that expensive.
00:00:35.000
And I was like, I go, fuck it, let's shoot some videos, we'll get in the helicopter.
00:00:40.000
What does it cost to just fly straight to Burbank?
00:00:53.000
You skipped the 405. Where were you going, though?
00:01:00.000
And I was like, we're going to be in our traffic for two hours.
00:01:03.000
And I was like, I'm going to get home and I won't see the girls.
00:01:06.000
And so I was like, fuck it, let's get a helicopter.
00:01:08.000
And then they grab you from the door of the plane, they drive you across the tarmac over to the helicopter, and you're home in ten fucking minutes.
00:01:19.000
It's a big thing now, in New York too, there's actually like three or four.
00:01:22.000
No, you can even fly, you can go to JFK. From Newark to JFK. No, like I'm saying, you can go from Midtown, you can go from Downtown to these Blade stations and fly to JFK. I mean, seems cool.
00:01:34.000
If you can wrap your head around it as marketing as opposed to a lifestyle.
00:01:39.000
In New York, it's way, way less expensive because those are pools.
00:01:52.000
So I was in New York and it was to go to Jersey.
00:01:54.000
So I skipped all the rush hour traffic and just flew to Jersey.
00:02:00.000
But they said if you're going out of JFK, you can do it that way too.
00:02:11.000
Do you know, like people keep saying, you know, we need to stop eating meat to save the environment?
00:02:15.000
Do you know that greenhouse gases, only 9% of all greenhouse gases, 9% are because of agriculture?
00:02:33.000
What's all the greenhouse gas emissions from then?
00:02:41.000
You go to Vietnam and they're burning their trash in their front yard.
00:02:45.000
Everything we can do in this country, it is a piss on a fire compared to what is happening in the rest of the world.
00:02:51.000
Well, just the thing is that you can't save the world by not eating meat, just to let everybody know.
00:02:58.000
Coming from the guy who just shot a one-ton elk.
00:03:02.000
That has nothing to do with animal agriculture.
00:03:11.000
Well, we got lucky that we could get a Ranger to it, so we had to quarter it up, and then we put it in the back of one of those four-wheel drive things.
00:03:30.000
I'll give you some elk sausage before you leave here.
00:03:39.000
Do you ever have too much meat where you bring it home and you're like, fuck, there's no room in the fridge?
00:03:42.000
No, but I have three commercial freezers here and I have two at home.
00:03:49.000
You really do eat it, though, because you're always...
00:04:01.000
You know, like a nice steak, kimchi, some jalapenos, avocado.
00:04:06.000
I posted it, and fucking everyone's like, Rogan, Rogan, Rogan.
00:04:10.000
It's like you're known for what your plate looks like.
00:04:21.000
I went to the cardiologist, and he was like, this is done.
00:04:25.000
Yeah, he's like, hey man, you're getting a fatty liver.
00:04:55.000
Because he'd been testing my livers every nine months.
00:04:57.000
You've been having a heart attack for the last two months.
00:05:30.000
For some rich fucking suburban people to exercise.
00:05:37.000
So why don't you be quiet about the black people talk here.
00:05:47.000
No, he goes, he did a sonogram of my organs every time.
00:06:00.000
And he's like, it's the most common thing I see when I go and work as a doctor for clinics.
00:06:10.000
And that is the cause of the beginning of your decline for your health.
00:06:16.000
And I was like, alright, no booze, no sweets, no sugars, no pastas, no breads.
00:06:21.000
And I was like, I'm going to fucking lose weight.
00:06:33.000
Ari and I decided we're going to set this up like when the Navy SEALs get to ring the bell to quit.
00:06:39.000
We're going to set this place up with ice and vodka.
00:06:42.000
We're going to just leave it all laying out on the table.
00:06:49.000
Well, we were thinking that we kind of cheated by smoking cigars.
00:06:55.000
I think if anyone's cheating, it's Ari's alcoholic kombucha.
00:06:58.000
Well, we were hoping that you guys were going to tell us that we already cheated.
00:07:11.000
So, no sugar, no pasta, no booze, or very little booze?
00:07:26.000
I get, like, the first two Friday, Saturdays I didn't drink.
00:07:33.000
Oh, by the way, wait till I tell you what happened.
00:08:00.000
I had to empty out a capsule and fucking put it into a shot.
00:08:10.000
You're making me go on this fucking stupid shit.
00:08:12.000
Joe, what kind of sociopath are we friends with?
00:08:21.000
I don't do molly because I just got back from the doctor and he said, hey, it's time to get healthy.
00:08:26.000
You don't think it's fucking crazy that you would do that?
00:08:30.000
You're not doing it to your fucking college roommate.
00:08:47.000
He wanted to for about ten minutes until the molly kicked in and then he was fine.
00:08:59.000
I was on a fucking plane going like, when's this gonna fucking stop?
00:09:01.000
Because I didn't know that orange juice kicks it back up.
00:09:09.000
On the fucking plane, I'm drinking, trying to get hydrated, because I'm on fucking Molly.
00:09:16.000
Wait a minute, you're drinking Tito's while you're on Molly?
00:09:29.000
And I'm thinking, that kid died from Molly in Mexico.
00:09:34.000
He died from Molly, and I'm sitting there going, I'm 46, I got high blood pressure, high cholesterol, I'm on pain, I'm on meds.
00:09:41.000
He noticed how great his wife looked, and he was like, she's awesome.
00:09:55.000
Well, because I don't really want to do the sobriety things.
00:10:07.000
If this podcast was yesterday, then yeah, you would have all been dosed.
00:10:12.000
I said to him, you would not do this to Joe, and he goes, 100% I would.
00:10:15.000
Yeah, if this podcast was yesterday, I wouldn't have broken up sobriety.
00:10:18.000
Why would you do that when you just offer it to us?
00:10:37.000
The problem is if you have something to do that's out the window.
00:10:41.000
We were planning on getting drunk at the podcast.
00:10:43.000
I was planning on having a couple drinks with you and then getting you out of my house, having dinner with my children, relaxing, getting on a plane, and going on tour.
00:11:14.000
Look, I would like to be on your side too, but I would be enraged if you did that to me.
00:11:17.000
He said, I'm going to call Tom, he's going to be really mad at you.
00:11:20.000
I'm like, Tom's going to die laughing instantly.
00:11:52.000
The next day I remember being in a coffee shop trying to read a magazine.
00:12:00.000
I would try to read a paragraph and then it would start over again.
00:12:09.000
I had to go on tour to, what, 2,800 people that night on the next night on Molly.
00:12:19.000
And I was like, I was like, mother, like, I was shaky.
00:12:25.000
Once you do get off that stuff, the thing is, like, you're dumb.
00:12:28.000
Like, you're, you're, you're, you're, all your brain juice is all fucking squeezed out.
00:12:33.000
But you don't think, I mean, like, you definitely would see that spiking a girl's drink is not okay.
00:12:57.000
What is the right circumstances where you'd be able to drug someone?
00:13:00.000
If a bunch of people are out, and then everyone's going to do acid, and then somebody's always kind of like expressed interest in acid, and then you don't know if they're going to do it or not, so you're just like, I know you.
00:13:16.000
I'll tell you right now, I know you regretted it.
00:13:19.000
After you did it, the next day, I think you felt bad about it.
00:13:25.000
Because I noticed how you text, and Tom did too.
00:13:28.000
You were like, hey man, I had a great time the other day.
00:13:32.000
I told you what to take, 5-HTP. Let's go get some.
00:13:38.000
So wait, did all this lead to the IV? Is this what the IV is?
00:13:41.000
I led to the IV because I was shaking and I was like, man, I don't feel right.
00:13:45.000
And they're like, you were on Molly last night.
00:13:58.000
I think people think I'm hammered on stage anyway.
00:14:02.000
The whole weekend I kept trying to just right the boat by going like...
00:14:10.000
But it's my last weekend of Sober October and that's why right now I'm just like, ugh, fuck.
00:14:34.000
Joey Diaz, I called you, then I called you, then I called, I'm panicking.
00:14:44.000
Tom called me back, and then Joey Diaz, I said, Ari just slipped me molly, and all he said is, I'll be there in ten, dog.
00:14:51.000
Came to the house, sat with me, he's like, you're gonna be fine.
00:14:56.000
The sun was going over his shoulder, and it was just setting.
00:15:01.000
He was like a fucking, it was like he was like a god.
00:15:09.000
You're like a guy that raped her going, yeah, but you like dick, right?
00:15:15.000
So talk about how great it was with the sun setting behind Joey Diaz as he's telling these stories of starting comedy.
00:15:27.000
I can't co-sign this because I don't want kids hearing this going, oh, Ari did it.
00:15:39.000
I can't even release the fucking podcast because I don't want anyone going like...
00:15:47.000
You don't want anyone getting active representation of what Molly does to you.
00:15:54.000
You don't want kids to take me over a train either.
00:15:58.000
I think you've expressed that you were against it on the podcast.
00:16:13.000
You never dosed anybody before, but you chose that one moment to dose Bert.
00:16:19.000
I had to take that from LA. If you went to Tom's house to do a podcast and you had the Molly on you, you think you would have dosed him?
00:16:26.000
Tom alone hasn't really, I feel like he's not the reason I have to do this month of sobriety, where I do blame you a lot more.
00:16:46.000
I'm concerned about leasing the podcast because I'm wondering if someone's going to go, that's illegal.
00:16:57.000
This podcast, the entire time we were doing it, we were smoking weed from the beginning of the podcast, ten years ago.
00:17:05.000
Tom, you laughed like crazy when you heard about it.
00:17:07.000
Well, I'm on the phone in a green room, and he's like, I already spiked my drink.
00:17:39.000
I go into my daughter's room and she's got these lasers that make stars on her ceiling.
00:17:49.000
She gave me a hug, and I was like fucking beaming.
00:17:52.000
I smelled her hair, and I was like, God, I fucking love you.
00:17:57.000
Joey said something to me that goes, You would have already had your stroke.
00:18:10.000
So I give Island Georgia hugs and kisses goodbye.
00:18:16.000
By the way, my flight's not leaving until midnight.
00:18:41.000
I needed to be somewhere, and I couldn't just wait at the airport.
00:18:48.000
So I sat at the store for like an hour, drinking.
00:18:54.000
Yeah, I just went there to hang out in the back room.
00:18:56.000
He came in all angry, like, and then David Spade was there, and he loves celebrities.
00:19:01.000
He's like, alright, it's a fun story, let me tell you.
00:19:07.000
By the way, I took it on stage and it destroyed on stage.
00:19:16.000
Oh, so you told the next day when you were doing your shows.
00:19:40.000
Instead of taking your shirt off, people just spike your drink.
00:19:51.000
He's the one who spiked your drink and he's like, don't say that.
00:20:09.000
Listen, I'm sorry I had a great time with you, but I'm sorry you had to come to me doing it behind your back.
00:20:19.000
At some point, he was starting to get angry, and then he goes, Oh, your eyes are great.
00:20:27.000
Wouldn't the world be a better place if everybody was on just a smidge?
00:20:43.000
We were in the store and I'm talking to Tony Hinchcliffe.
00:20:46.000
And I go, he would never have done it to anyone else.
00:20:57.000
No, you and Joe at his house, you wouldn't spike his drink and then go, hey man.
00:21:01.000
If he forced me into a thing where I had to give up things I love for a month...
00:21:06.000
So Ari has been mad at you, and I'm probably the only one here besides him that listens to his podcast.
00:21:15.000
Ari gets fucking furious at you, Bert, for this.
00:21:37.000
That the whole reason why we did it in the first place was to try to sober you up.
00:21:43.000
So are we announcing that on the 1st of October we're done with this shit?
00:22:00.000
Maybe occasionally I like a beer while I'm on stage.
00:22:03.000
I'm not a drinker in the sense of I don't get drunk a lot.
00:22:07.000
If I get drunk once a month, it's a crazy month.
00:22:12.000
And it's usually somewhere where I'm like with you guys or something.
00:22:28.000
Most mornings I'm either doing yoga or I'm running or I'm lifting weights and doing cardio.
00:22:40.000
Yeah, the beating of, you know, as you get older, it's harder to recover from things, harder to recover from workouts, harder to get back into shape.
00:22:48.000
But if you stay in shape, so that's the whole thing is like staying in shape.
00:22:52.000
If you stay in shape and take care of your body, you can get a lot more life out of your body than most people think.
00:23:02.000
Whether my body falls apart at 60 or 70, whatever the fuck the year is going to be, it's going to happen.
00:23:09.000
So my thought is, right now, I'm not going to fuck it up.
00:23:15.000
But I can recover from a little bit, no problem.
00:23:17.000
And there's a lot of studies that show that a little bit of wine, in particular, a glass of wine or two, there's some benefits to it.
00:23:25.000
But also, us pushing this month has become more about the camaraderie and the challenge aspect, and not really about needing sobriety.
00:23:45.000
He actually had less of a problem than he does because he's spiking people's drink to get back at them because they won't let him drink.
00:23:50.000
Well, he's just angry at you because he likes to drink in October and he actually doesn't have a problem.
00:24:14.000
Except for mushrooms, we can microdose the whole month.
00:24:17.000
For me, I would just be like, hey, can we just do edibles all month, but just stay away from everything else?
00:24:37.000
And then walk around afterwards on, like, a mild buzz.
00:24:41.000
You don't like to get high before you go on stage, huh?
00:24:48.000
And then he would be like, I'd be like, that was the worst experience of my life.
00:24:57.000
The only thing that I've learned actually from other comics doing it all the time and saying, like I brought Jeff Tay with me and he gets high as fuck, is that he, after a while, that panic thing just dissipates and then he's in the pocket,
00:25:31.000
You're on stage going, okay, what am I even talking about?
00:25:42.000
I'll be in London that day, and the next day I go to Dublin.
00:25:45.000
Oh, Dublin, they're going to get you fucked up.
00:26:17.000
He wants to see if he can handle the cell phone.
00:26:25.000
Going to Yankees games, and part of me kept thinking, like, oh, I won't drink, but maybe I'll just do an edible or something.
00:26:33.000
Hold your breath until you almost black out, and then catch your breath again, and then keep doing that through the whole game.
00:26:51.000
You have ruined me accepting a drink from anyone forever.
00:27:03.000
Yeah, a lot of girls, man, when they go to bars, they get scared taking a drink from a man, and they should.
00:27:08.000
How many people do you know that have been drugged?
00:27:14.000
I know at least three or four girls that have said, something happened, I gotta get out of here, and they tell their friends, and then creepy guys like predators are moving close, like, hey, she's fine, she's fine.
00:27:33.000
And you tasted it, and you're like, that's fine.
00:27:36.000
I walked in, and Ari was, he looked like Dr. Jekyll.
00:27:58.000
And then I try to put myself in the mind frame of how upset I would be.
00:28:03.000
Well, what would you have done if Bert had a stroke?
00:28:11.000
So yeah, you've got to get in his phone, you've got to get whatever's been recorded.
00:28:23.000
His face is twitching and you're going to wipe the foam away.
00:28:39.000
I don't know why we're talking about that, though, because that never happened.
00:28:42.000
So let's stick in the now, which was you had a new appreciation of your family, your friends, your backyard.
00:28:48.000
But you do realize that last year was kind of like the idea of being sober, part of it was for you.
00:29:05.000
The origin of this was like, Bert, can you not drink food?
00:29:10.000
And by the way, I didn't think I'd be able to do it.
00:29:16.000
I was drinking so fucking much, and I was unaware of how much I was drinking.
00:29:21.000
And when you guys said that in here, it kind of woke me up, and I was like, fuck, I really am drinking Tito's by myself at night.
00:29:30.000
And it was a great way to cut my drinking, because you guys made it camaraderie-esque, and so I didn't feel like all eyes were on me, and I did it.
00:29:41.000
That hoop strap, when it shows you how much you sleep, it's really sobering because you can't lie.
00:29:47.000
You look at it, you go, oh, four hours and 30 minutes.
00:29:50.000
You know what I like is it sent me a notification that you should try to get this.
00:29:56.000
It was late and I'm watching TV and it's like, go to bed.
00:30:07.000
But yeah, and then last year was more about the competition.
00:30:21.000
It's just the competition was absorbing too much time.
00:30:32.000
Well, that's one way of doing it, but I don't think that was...
00:30:46.000
You can see Bert trying to be angry on the molly, but also going like, fuck, this is going to be a great podcast.
00:30:54.000
Yeah, I don't know what I'm going to do with the podcast.
00:31:12.000
Like, we know a guy who had a stroke because he took Viagra.
00:31:16.000
And it counteracted with this thing, and now he can't use his left arm.
00:31:21.000
One of my biggest fears when that doctor told me I needed to lose weight was, what if I just have a stroke and then I just can't work out and be active?
00:31:32.000
I can't go bike riding because the left side of my body doesn't work.
00:31:35.000
And I am, despite what anyone thinks, I am active and I like working out.
00:31:41.000
And that's what scared the shit out of me and that's why I started losing weight.
00:31:45.000
I gotta be honest with you, thank God I lost that weight.
00:31:49.000
And when he did that, because if he had done that when I was 258, that could have been...
00:31:54.000
And I had gone to hot spin for a whole month and been really healthy for a whole month.
00:31:59.000
I was like, I literally, in the podcast, I go, okay, my EKG was fine.
00:32:10.000
And I was going through the checklist to try to calm myself down.
00:32:14.000
But, thank God I lost that weight because I don't know what would have happened if I hadn't lost that weight and he mollied me.
00:32:36.000
But he was angry that you lost all this weight for the weight loss challenge, and then you got really healthy during Sober October, but then you got bigger than ever, and that shit.
00:33:20.000
Put it on your left wrist or right wrist over the top like a watch.
00:34:04.000
I was thinking about going sober forever after October, actually.
00:34:18.000
What if you get in really good shape in your ribs?
00:34:28.000
But if you take your shirt off on stage and you have a six-pack, people are going to get angry with you.
00:34:34.000
The reason why it's funny is because you're overweight and you're a party guy.
00:34:38.000
You take your shirt off and everybody's laughing.
00:34:41.000
I think I take my shirt off and I don't think people look at my body throughout the rest of my set.
00:34:45.000
I'm not making jokes like, look at these titties.
00:34:54.000
That's part of the thing, is you take your shirt off.
00:34:58.000
But if you got skinny, would you still take your shirt off?
00:35:17.000
If you had a six-pack, you can't take your shirt off.
00:35:21.000
But first of all, is that really a thing we're worried about?
00:35:24.000
I can't believe we're really talking about this.
00:35:36.000
Because I've never had a six-pack in my entire life, even when I was in high school, so that's not a concern of mine of getting a six-pack.
00:35:45.000
But I think if you stick to this sobriety and working out, you're going to be sitting up on your own in no time, you know?
00:35:56.000
So, all right, should we, wait, so what are we going to do?
00:36:13.000
I'll push that outside over the top and clamp it down.
00:36:33.000
Yeah, you can text people without getting a fucking hernia.
00:36:41.000
No, he's lost a memory of how great a time it was.
00:36:45.000
He's thinking about having a six-pack and whether or not he can take his shirt off.
00:36:48.000
If you got super jacked and ripped and look good on stage...
00:36:57.000
Yeah, if you're super ripped, no one wants to...
00:37:17.000
He'll just go up with chicken or something and just be eating as he's talking.
00:37:21.000
Chappelle got jacked and was wearing tank tops.
00:37:27.000
Tank tops are a different animal than shirtless, though.
00:37:32.000
The whole thing back in the day was, if you have muscles, you can't be a comedian.
00:37:36.000
That was what Joe Biscobo got muscles, and everyone's like, oh, he's no longer funny.
00:37:40.000
And now you look, and almost all the comedians work out.
00:37:45.000
Yeah, when I was starting out, I used to wear big, baggy shirts.
00:37:55.000
But you're trying to make it not a distraction, right?
00:38:01.000
Yeah, that's the thing is if it's in your own head.
00:38:04.000
Yeah, if it wasn't in my own head, it wouldn't matter.
00:38:07.000
It's like, that's half of the thing is whether or not you're comfortable on stage.
00:38:11.000
If you're uncomfortable, it doesn't matter what you look like.
00:38:13.000
But I think, like, ultimately, he's the most comfortable being, like, he's himself shirtless up there.
00:38:20.000
Yeah, I filmed him at the Comedy Store the last time we did a show together.
00:38:29.000
But you don't take it off in the OR. OR is different.
00:38:39.000
I feel like the main room, they've come and paid a ticket to see a show.
00:38:43.000
The OR is like, people coming in and out, no one knows who the fuck you are.
00:38:46.000
But the main room, it's like, there's some guys coming from Canada to see...
00:38:48.000
There's like a presentation vibe in the main room, too.
00:38:52.000
It is almost like a theatrical feel to be on a show.
00:38:59.000
When I have my shirt on, I'm very uncomfortable.
00:39:02.000
And so I can find out what material is working better, easier.
00:39:14.000
I'd just get on stage, rip it off, and everyone would cheer, and then I'd just put it back on.
00:39:17.000
And one time in Columbus, I ripped it off, and I forgot about it.
00:39:21.000
We started talking about something, and then I was like, oh shit, I gotta put my shirt on.
00:39:34.000
It was before you were doing it all the time, though.
00:39:37.000
And then I started doing it on the road, and it was just, I don't know, it just made me really comfortable.
00:39:47.000
And it doesn't happen when I take my shirt off, I don't sweat at all.
00:39:50.000
A lot of times when you're just standing still, you'll sweat a lot.
00:40:09.000
Maybe we'll do a benefit where we'll raise something when everyone will do shirtless stand-up.
00:40:20.000
Wait, so what are we settling on for this month?
00:40:32.000
Well, what we decided over the phone is, one addition is we have to read 500 pages.
00:40:44.000
But I thought we were just doing these classes.
00:41:04.000
By the way, how great would have hip-hop dance been now that you saw the video?
00:41:22.000
I'm so shocked that people thought the dancing was good.
00:41:37.000
Dago, do you consider yourself more of a comedian or a dancer?
00:41:41.000
I was like, do you not have a Google search engine on here?
00:41:50.000
They probably have a million hyenas out there rummaging the nation, trying to find people with any kind of talent so they can keep that monster alive.
00:41:57.000
Wait, the other thing is, didn't we agree that within these classes, they don't necessarily have to be...
00:42:10.000
Tom and I were talking about taking tactical gun lessons.
00:42:14.000
But I'm saying, that's not a workout, but it's still like a class.
00:42:20.000
This year, it's more about bettering ourselves.
00:42:23.000
One of the things that I think we agreed to, and your wife actually reached out to me about, apparently her and Leanne are going to get together and do a podcast with wives.
00:42:30.000
They're doing a podcast called So Over October.
00:42:36.000
Look, I gave your wife good ammunition for the first episode.
00:42:43.000
Well, she didn't like seeing that part of me either.
00:42:48.000
She was like, your body looks better, but fucking so boring.
00:42:52.000
Leanne was livid when she found out that I got...
00:43:12.000
And that's what was sucked is I had to take care of both of them.
00:43:16.000
Like I had to take care of Ari and take care of Leanne.
00:43:27.000
You see the bright side of things, even when people hate you.
00:43:33.000
And her temporary anger at me is not going to make me stop liking her so much.
00:43:39.000
So, within the ten classes, you can't do more than how many of one class?
00:43:47.000
So you could technically do three classes three times.
00:43:52.000
So you don't just do one thing over and over again.
00:43:54.000
So you don't just do spin class every day and be done with it.
00:43:58.000
I mean, but like if you're doing jujitsu, like say if you decide to do jujitsu and you learn it, there's nothing wrong with doing six of them.
00:44:06.000
Or because if you do decide to do it and you get into it, you're going to have to do more than one a week.
00:44:11.000
Too easy to do the same shit and not challenge yourself.
00:44:15.000
Interesting how you're just making the rules up.
00:44:17.000
Well, it seems too easy to not challenge yourself.
00:44:20.000
Feels like it's against our will, kind of like he's slipping a drug to us, doesn't it?
00:44:29.000
I think there should be one other element to it.
00:44:33.000
Because there's always been this physical element to the whole month, you should do something on your own that you don't talk about until it's over that you're doing to challenge yourself.
00:44:51.000
Like, for instance, you like to run the hills, right?
00:44:56.000
So let's just say you go, I run it once a week.
00:45:01.000
So for the month, you challenge yourself on your own to do it twice a week.
00:45:06.000
And on November 1st, you're like, I took these classes, I read these books, and I ran my hills twice a week.
00:45:16.000
That way there's some other physical element of wellness throughout the month.
00:45:28.000
Kind of like Lent, where you give up something that you decide.
00:45:32.000
So you essentially have four things to do if you can only do three.
00:45:38.000
So there has to be four individual things you're doing.
00:45:46.000
Because you could do yoga, you could do spin, you could do jujitsu, you could do kickboxing, you could do whatever.
00:45:59.000
I have a gun and I haven't even put bullets in it.
00:46:17.000
And I also like the idea that we're not going to go crazy.
00:46:26.000
When you're doing 80% of your max heart rate for a minute, you get one point.
00:46:37.000
I watched that scene 50 times in a row and I just wanted to kill everybody.
00:46:45.000
But I also felt like I was mentally and physically breaking down throughout the month.
00:46:53.000
It actually, you would feel the soreness, you would feel drained, but you would feel the cloud in your mind clear, right?
00:47:11.000
Dude, working out like three hours some day back-to-back?
00:47:14.000
I remember saying to my wife, if you could get this in a pill, what this is, this feeling of not giving a fuck, like really not giving a fuck, because generally I don't give a fuck about things, but man.
00:47:24.000
When I'm doing cardio for five hours a day, you don't give a fuck.
00:47:32.000
And the stresses of life just really start to be...
00:47:41.000
I thought I was going to get at least some weight loss because of it.
00:47:51.000
It's probably around 10. Somewhere around 10-ish.
00:47:57.000
I was drinking all the water, but I was eating everything, too.
00:48:01.000
But I think I might have even gained a pound or two.
00:48:07.000
I was watching what I ate as the month started, and then when I saw how competitive it was going, and how crazy it started to be six and seven days of working out, it was anything in sight.
00:48:33.000
Drank soda, like regular soda, which I never drink.
00:48:38.000
My November was bad because I was eating like that but still working out and then I just kept eating like that.
00:48:51.000
You had the nice little V? You had the dick root show on?
00:48:54.000
They told me they're like, every time somebody blows out, because remember, they had the point thing at my gym.
00:48:58.000
They're like, every time everyone, like, the next month, there's such a dip.
00:49:02.000
And they're like, and then you broke that record.
00:49:05.000
For the highest total and then the biggest dip ever.
00:49:14.000
How long did you guys keep using the MyZone thing?
00:49:25.000
I used it for a while, and then I would not use it, and then I would take it again.
00:49:28.000
And then recently, I lost it, and they were like, oh, you know, find it.
00:49:34.000
And then I did find it, and I was like, I'm not putting it on.
00:49:37.000
I found mine when I moved, and it was like, don't touch it.
00:49:41.000
It's like the thing they found, the exorcist, when they brought it back home.
00:49:48.000
It's also telling you how much you've recovered, which I think is very important.
00:49:52.000
It's telling you, like, if you do a hard workout and the next day you feel like shit, it's letting you know, hey, your body's not recovered.
00:50:21.000
But the thing about it is, like, it's undeniable.
00:50:29.000
Does it tell you what you get when you have sex?
00:50:32.000
Well, the way I fuck, bro, it thinks I'm working out.
00:50:42.000
Do you have a past activity day or a day strain?
00:50:53.000
Yeah, I got six hours and 39 minutes of sleep, which is pretty decent.
00:50:59.000
I never sleep like I struggle with sleep, you know?
00:51:07.000
I had a guy, Dr. Matthew Walker, who really changed my opinion of sleep.
00:51:14.000
What I love is it was fascinating from the jump.
00:51:24.000
I don't think he's LA. Where's Dr. Matthew Walker, a professor at?
00:51:31.000
In the first five minutes, the importance, the way he breaks down how important it is, it just hooks you.
00:51:48.000
And as far as people who regularly get four hours or less, how many of them get Alzheimer's?
00:52:02.000
The numbers of people that get Alzheimer's that also have very low sleep.
00:52:15.000
Well, that is one thing that that strap will let you know, because it'll hold you accountable.
00:52:19.000
When you look at the app and it says, hey, you slept for four hours last night, fuckface, you're going to go, oh, Jesus.
00:53:20.000
Guys, you have no idea how I have to deal with this.
00:53:23.000
My bus driver's black and some guy comes up and he goes, dude, I love your racism.
00:53:39.000
Because I post anything with a black person in it on Instagram.
00:53:49.000
And then new people find me through Netflix, and then they're like, I don't want to even be a part of this.
00:53:55.000
And you think this is because of your mom's house?
00:54:01.000
But regardless, the joke that I'm the most racist comedian in the world, it's a joke.
00:54:05.000
By the way, there's nothing you can do about it.
00:54:08.000
Once the internet decides something, it happens.
00:54:16.000
They make some memes that are really fucking disgusting.
00:54:27.000
That just find me from Netflix and don't know about our friendship.
00:54:33.000
I went on Burt and I were in Madison at the same time.
00:54:40.000
And I was like, I'll just go with a broom and sweep up and see who goes nuts.
00:54:49.000
When I was telling the Molly story on stage, I said to my buddy Ari Shafir, it's like 12 people going, oh, I love Ari!
00:55:01.000
You put out a special on Netflix, and you can't...
00:55:08.000
And I say Joe Rogan, and everyone will lose their mind because you are fucking global.
00:55:19.000
But I think that's because of our podcast, too.
00:55:22.000
But yeah, it's like the people won't know Ari, which is bizarre to me.
00:55:24.000
Because I assumed everyone found me through this.
00:55:41.000
Yeah, just a lot of the thinking of like, oh, just you're in a moment with people and you're thinking like, what can I do?
00:55:59.000
Especially because they end up being like, this person wrote something not nice.
00:56:08.000
There's videos, I'll be scrolling through my feed and I see a video of someone taking it in the ass.
00:56:21.000
How many times she congratulated herself for being brave?
00:56:28.000
I think it goes to show you, trans people out there, that if I can do this, you can do anything.
00:56:35.000
Like come out of the closet in Wyoming and not get...
00:56:52.000
Like, when they interview her, that's when you realize, like, oh, wait a minute.
00:57:07.000
And then everybody conveniently forgot that she just plowed into some lady and forced her into traffic and killed her.
00:57:18.000
I don't know how it got swept away with the whole being brave because she's trans.
00:57:24.000
You can tweet something a little racist like Roseanne Barr and they ruin your career, but you can kill someone.
00:57:40.000
That lady looks like the lady from the Planet of the Apes.
00:57:43.000
And she did not know that that lady was African-American.
00:57:54.000
Well, have you ever seen the images of her side by side?
00:57:58.000
Dude, it's like saying you don't look like a gay bear.
00:58:02.000
There's so many guys who are gay who are bears with like nipple straps and fucking, they look just like you.
00:58:19.000
I guess if you're a bear, you have to be a real brave bear to take it in the butt, right?
00:58:30.000
If you're a bear with your feet up in the air and your asshole spread out and just pulling it apart, that's a brave bear.
00:58:35.000
That's One of my favorite type of message to get is to make you feel like what a woman must feel like all the time is a message where a guy's like, saw your special, hilarious, love what you're doing, love yourself, can't wait to see you on tour, and you're pretty cute.
00:58:59.000
Dicks and guys who want to jerk off on her feet.
00:59:04.000
There's something about real creeps all around her feet.
00:59:22.000
She's a fitness influencer and she just got arrested.
00:59:26.000
She had 269 different or 369 different Instagram accounts that she was using to harass people and threaten them and say she's going to cut them up.
00:59:48.000
So she also staged a fake kidnapping of her 12-year-old daughter.
01:00:03.000
I don't know what kind of a following she has, but 369 fake accounts just to fuck with people.
01:00:15.000
It's not harassment, but there's been some celebrities that have been caught creating accounts to defend themselves in conversations.
01:00:28.000
I think, like, Durant did that and was like, he called out.
01:00:37.000
I had a friend who was a celebrity and was very vocal on Twitter, going at people, but they had a couple burner accounts where they'd light people up and Fucking get into it with other people in there.
01:00:49.000
When I heard of that, I went, that is such sociopathic behavior.
01:01:01.000
Because you're trying to pretend there's other people that are supporting you.
01:01:11.000
Just give us a name that their name rhymes with.
01:01:29.000
If this was nine years ago, we would have said it on the air.
01:01:35.000
If we had that bucket of ice, you could ring that bell and we could just get this over with.
01:01:44.000
That, by the way, that is the greatest technological advance I've ever seen.
01:01:51.000
Because one of the things I hate is taking my watch off.
01:01:53.000
And the fact that the battery goes on the watch and charges it in 90 minutes for 5 days is a fucking game changer.
01:02:02.000
The thing to me that means the best, or means the most, is the sleep.
01:02:32.000
But I'll sleep until, sometimes I'll sleep by ten, I'll be like, meh, and I'll just go back to sleep.
01:02:42.000
Yeah, I don't have to go anywhere to earn anything.
01:02:49.000
You're one of my favorite people that has taken success and really done it in a great way.
01:03:09.000
If you've got to drive somewhere, you get a zip car.
01:03:17.000
And I lived in New Rochelle because I couldn't afford...
01:03:20.000
No, but I couldn't afford to live in Manhattan because I couldn't afford a parking spot.
01:03:31.000
One time I picked up a tail at the Laugh Factory, and I was like, I'm going to the store if you want to ride.
01:03:37.000
And I was like, hold on, let me move some stuff.
01:03:48.000
When I was thinking of moving to New York, and Tom was like, fuck, I wish I could move to New York.
01:03:56.000
Yeah, and then from then on, I was like, I should do shit to make my married friends jealous.
01:04:47.000
He said he's like, I'm most definitely going to dose you.
01:04:49.000
I would have if we were doing this podcast yesterday, before October started, then for sure.
01:04:57.000
Do you think there would be a different backlash, though?
01:05:00.000
You could just ask me and I would do it with you.
01:05:02.000
You could have asked me and then I would have said, hey, Ari, now's a bad time, but I would like to do that with you.
01:05:10.000
We should do acid on November or whatever it is when we come back in.
01:05:13.000
We're not going to be able to do a return podcast.
01:05:16.000
Yeah, we did mushrooms together in one of the last podcasts.
01:05:30.000
The 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, right before I go to Chicago.
01:05:52.000
Yeah, and tell us what you're reading, and then if we're looking for a book, we can read that one, too.
01:06:00.000
There's a book about the beginning of 4chan and 2chan.
01:06:13.000
By the way, I still never found a contact at Children's Hospital to give that money to.
01:06:18.000
I've had like 10 grand sitting in an account for somebody.
01:06:19.000
Do you realize how unfun this podcast can be for me?
01:06:22.000
Do you realize that this is like, it's the fucking...
01:06:31.000
There's a whole library of books out there, too, if you guys want to...
01:06:44.000
Yeah, just stuff that I'm like, you know, I haven't read any of that.
01:06:53.000
Well, I definitely want to read The Madness of the Crowds, the new Douglas Murray book.
01:07:06.000
He was one of the first guys that I ever had on that was immediately demonetized.
01:07:15.000
With Sam Harris and someone put it on their playlist on their channel and they got cited for community standards.
01:07:25.000
Because you made a playlist with that one in there?
01:07:26.000
Yeah, and so I asked this lady at YouTube, and she goes, it's hate speech.
01:07:31.000
I go, the fact that you just said that, you're talking about two public intellectuals.
01:07:35.000
One of them's a neuroscientist, the other one's a gay man from Europe who is a public intellectual, and you just said it's hate speech.
01:07:42.000
It's because he's written about the negative aspects of immigration into Europe.
01:07:50.000
And he wrote a book called The Strange Death of Europe.
01:07:55.000
Islam and the slow death or strange death of Europe.
01:08:01.000
They cited this person for community standards.
01:08:04.000
And then the woman at YouTube that I was speaking to at a fucking party.
01:08:08.000
I was just at a party with a friend of mine who used to be a big executive at Google just happened to be there.
01:08:13.000
She brought me to this party and this lady just happened to be there that worked at YouTube.
01:08:23.000
The fact that you just say, I know that if it was...
01:08:30.000
And she was trying to do that when she was talking to me and I wasn't letting her go.
01:08:37.000
But it makes you realize how arrogant some of these people are that are in these positions of power that are in control of social media.
01:08:43.000
And now they're getting a lot of blowback, so they've softened up their tone.
01:08:46.000
But they're still, like, Steven Crowder just had some piece that he did about how much there's shadow banning with his YouTube account.
01:08:57.000
Like, Hitler, you know, Hitler was really smart, prove me wrong.
01:09:03.000
You know, he takes, like, there's only two genders, prove me wrong.
01:09:07.000
And he'll sit down with people at this table and have these conversations and film them.
01:09:11.000
And, you know, most of the people are not prepared or informed.
01:09:15.000
And he stays calm and that gets him even more freaked out.
01:09:19.000
So anyway, someone was looking for one of those.
01:09:22.000
So they Googled Stephen Crowder, proved me wrong.
01:09:25.000
They couldn't find anything in the first 70 fucking videos that were recommended by YouTube.
01:09:36.000
I got a message that I'm shadow banned on Instagram.
01:09:39.000
They're like, type in your name and you won't come up.
01:09:41.000
I think more than ever that Instagram just has a really shitty search engine.
01:10:03.000
How does this fucking person who's an Instagram influencer know this?
01:10:11.000
But they're not inside the inner workings of the company and talk to the people that write the algorithms.
01:10:19.000
The more that I look into this, the more I think they have a really shitty search engine.
01:10:24.000
But it's also possible that someone is preventing certain people from getting found.
01:10:29.000
Like Andrew Schultz was the first person to point it out.
01:10:32.000
And if you just type in Andrew Schultz and try to find his name, all you can find is all these other accounts.
01:10:43.000
If you're a comic and you say crazy shit and someone decides it's offensive and they say, hey, we're going to put Tom Segura on this shadow ban list.
01:10:55.000
There's all Project Veritas is this guy, James O'Keefe, that's done this undercover investigation and had people talk to Twitter people and Instagram people.
01:11:04.000
And the people that work there, when they're at a bar, when they're out, they were explaining to some girl how you shadow ban someone, how you stop conservative voices.
01:11:13.000
So I had my Patreon, it was like shadowban right away, and I was like, that's pretty quick.
01:11:17.000
And I emailed them in a calm manner, and I was like, hey, what's going on?
01:11:30.000
So I'll take that flag off, and now you show up.
01:11:33.000
So I'm wondering if some of it's just like a bureaucratic, like, that just labels you.
01:11:39.000
Right, because a lot of them just say, uh, flag.
01:11:43.000
And there's no way to say, hey, this was wrong, can you take that off me?
01:11:46.000
Hey, Ari, you know, spikes people's drinks, he's that kind of guy.
01:11:53.000
What's weird about it is it's so ideologically one-sided.
01:11:58.000
Everyone on the left is kind of free to post whatever the fuck they want, and people on the right...
01:12:03.000
It's interesting, for sure, because even if you're not conservative, you should want some type of balance to exist.
01:12:14.000
The justification is all that Trump's a terrible president and that the election was terribly, you know, infuriating.
01:12:20.000
And there was a Google executive that was talking about it recently.
01:12:23.000
There was this really weird interview where they were talking about how deeply upset everyone was at the results of the election.
01:12:30.000
And that they've decided to take steps to try to prevent their platform from being used for a similar result in the future.
01:12:43.000
Yeah, what do you think about all this impeachment shit and the Ukraine shit?
01:12:46.000
I mean, the funny thing is it's almost like a perfect highlight of everybody being who they are, you know?
01:12:54.000
Like him going like, it's a perfect phone call.
01:12:58.000
And then he's definitely, you know, talking to another president about, like he's denying what he did.
01:13:06.000
But then, you know, there's people who obviously stand saying it's not, you know, the conversation was about investigations.
01:13:13.000
But, you know, he's always been somebody, you gotta, I think, separate him from politics.
01:13:18.000
This is a guy who's new to politics, essentially, right?
01:13:21.000
He's always been a guy who bent, like, he's a rule breaker.
01:13:26.000
He doesn't, you know, he's always been someone who's like, that shit doesn't apply to me.
01:13:31.000
And I think that, you know, I don't know how far it's going to go, but I think the door is open now to, like, they're really going to investigate that call.
01:13:42.000
Then there was a report that maybe the Australian PM call had a similar thing where he asked him to get involved, and we haven't seen the readout of that.
01:13:54.000
It seems like they went from one, we want to impeach for something, like, right away to another one, and it just makes me think, like...
01:14:00.000
Yeah, it's hard to get like, I think in the normal sense, like if we had gone through a more stable last couple of years as far as news and stuff, this would be groundbreaking holy shit.
01:14:13.000
But in the scope of what the last few years have been like, it still feels like some other crazy inquiry.
01:14:19.000
I'm sure you're not telling me the whole story.
01:14:24.000
They're saying they're opening the investigation into it, but we don't know what really that's going to mean.
01:14:30.000
If they do impeach him, man, things could get really ugly.
01:14:36.000
If you just took their guy out, if you just took their guy and just said, we voted him in fair and square, and you guys just removed him, no way.
01:14:43.000
Did you see what he put on his Instagram today?
01:14:50.000
He showed a picture of the entire country that's mostly red states and a couple of blue, which was the result of the election.
01:15:04.000
Did you listen to it or did you look at the transcript?
01:15:10.000
I like to look at these things like, okay, I'll look into this soon.
01:15:14.000
Because a lot of it feels sensationalized, right?
01:15:17.000
Well, I remember Justin Martindale telling me that Stormy Daniels was going to take him down.
01:15:30.000
But he also, I think he loves this shit, you know?
01:15:34.000
He will complain about witch hunt shit, but I think he actually...
01:15:40.000
Yeah, but the game is try to put a real stink on him where when 2020 comes around, he can't win.
01:15:55.000
I don't think the Democrats have come up with someone that's...
01:15:59.000
They need someone like, no joke, but like The Rock.
01:16:07.000
Even if he would be a terrible president, and I think he probably would be...
01:16:13.000
Might actually be good if he dedicated himself to it.
01:16:22.000
I mean, I've talked to him briefly, but reading his stuff that he posts and listened to his little Instagram videos, he's a considerate, interesting, introspective guy.
01:16:31.000
Just works hard, busts his ass, but he's very nice.
01:16:36.000
I mean, I don't know if that's enough to be president, but I don't think anybody should be president.
01:16:41.000
But once we're down to a popularity contest, at least I think he would be a fair and equitable person.
01:16:46.000
It might just go straight to popularity contest so no more politicians can win.
01:16:53.000
Well, Kanye, if someone really decided, someone really famous, not just Trump, but someone else decided, like especially a famous comic, decided to run for president, he would be fucked.
01:17:05.000
Because he's so easy to make fun of, and all those fucking dolts don't know how to do it.
01:17:09.000
And so he shits on them, and all the people that never had...
01:17:14.000
The thing about him is, he's the first asshole president, openly an asshole.
01:17:19.000
And there's so many guys out there that are assholes that want to support another asshole.
01:17:26.000
I remember there's a scene where Ted Cruz was giving some speech and there was a guy with sunglasses on who was telling him, quit, you're never going to win, you're never going to win, Trump's going to be president.
01:17:35.000
And he's in his face and Ted Cruz is trying to talk to him in his bullshit politician way.
01:17:44.000
And he wants to be able to do that to Ted Cruz.
01:17:48.000
And I was like, oh, he didn't know how to handle this.
01:17:52.000
Whereas Trump is like, fuck you, right back to your face.
01:18:02.000
We're like, now we don't want anyone with any expertise.
01:18:05.000
Well, I mean, if someone like Obama ran, he would fucking win.
01:18:11.000
Like, someone who's that articulate and charismatic.
01:18:17.000
Those are rare people that are that good at talking and also have a good record and also, you know, know how to fucking rile a crowd up.
01:18:34.000
Every time he talks, you can see that it's taking him a while to put together.
01:18:38.000
Like when an older guy takes a minute to put something together, you can see it.
01:18:41.000
Dude, he's old as fuck, and he's not healthy, and he looks tired.
01:18:56.000
There was a cop murdered somebody, and everybody was going crazy.
01:19:04.000
Look, all your fucking time should be running your goddamn city, and instead, you're on TV every day doing these debates.
01:19:11.000
You're not paying attention to the fucking city.
01:19:19.000
Yeah, if you run, you should have someone else run your position.
01:19:21.000
But it's one of the rare jobs where it requires so much energy to pursue, and yet people pursue it while they have other jobs that they're being paid for with Taxpayer dollars.
01:19:33.000
You should get an interim leader while you're running for president.
01:19:36.000
And maybe you should have to fucking earn it back.
01:19:39.000
Maybe the new senator is better and maybe he doesn't want to be president.
01:19:42.000
That polling changes all the time, but isn't like the top three still?
01:19:50.000
Yep, those are the three that everybody wants to win.
01:19:52.000
I'm always fascinated by that person who, like at this point, six months in or something, and they're at.01, they're like, we're doing another fundraising campaign tonight.
01:20:03.000
I wish I had a little bit of that in my personality.
01:20:09.000
That's why you thought you were going to win Sober October last year.
01:20:18.000
If somebody goes, you're definitely not going to win, then you go, I'm going to fuck you.
01:20:28.000
I didn't think that when you started throwing up numbers, I was like, there's no way.
01:20:32.000
I'm catching Joe, but I'm still making videos going, Joe, I'll double whatever you do.
01:20:46.000
It was fun when you see your place change in the ratings.
01:20:54.000
I thought Ari was going to be a real problem because I know Ari.
01:21:11.000
The problem with a way to win or lose is it's going to become a competition again and everyone's going to go fucking crazy.
01:21:17.000
And we're going to spend too much time doing it.
01:21:26.000
But the year before that was the yoga thing was easy.
01:21:34.000
I thought yoga was the best one we've done because...
01:21:41.000
Yeah, when we all showed up in Encino and pulled into that place, we were all laughing.
01:21:54.000
It was me going, what the fuck happened to my friend?
01:21:59.000
I pulled away and I heard you go like, who are you?
01:22:23.000
Let's just get fucking drunk as fuck this October.
01:22:29.000
We could get super fucked up and then still have to do these challenges.
01:22:43.000
Well, I wouldn't do that, but I've done jujitsu high many, many, many times.
01:23:21.000
We broke the attendance record for the Tacoma Dome.
01:23:26.000
The next day, what's crazy about him is he really goes rockstar style.
01:23:31.000
We fly in a private jet, we land, and you get in a tour bus.
01:23:38.000
They're talking about the benefits of the tour bus versus a limo.
01:23:47.000
And then once we get there, then we go into Dave's room and he's got all the fucking IVs set up.
01:23:52.000
They got a doctor there, or nurses there, that are administering IVs to us.
01:23:57.000
They're giving you glutathione, which helps you process the alcohol.
01:24:07.000
I had an IV, people come right up to my tour bus, right before my show in KC. So I was like fucking shaking.
01:24:15.000
And then I was like, and then I started getting jumpy.
01:24:29.000
The thing is, if you're already sick, it's too late.
01:24:32.000
If you're sick, if you're like starting to feel like, oh man, I might be sick tomorrow.
01:24:39.000
But the B12 shot, even when I was sick, gave me a nice boost for the night.
01:24:46.000
You know, it's hard to get that without the shot.
01:24:48.000
You know, if you take the, there's a liposomal B12 that you can take, that you put under your tongue and shit.
01:25:00.000
The real way to go is to make sure you always have heavy nutrient levels in your body, always.
01:25:06.000
Always, you know, make sure you get a balanced diet.
01:25:09.000
Then you can party a little more and you got a little more leeway.
01:25:13.000
It's the people that eat like shit and then they don't, you know.
01:25:42.000
I think part of that, though, is because he knows, dude.
01:25:47.000
I think when I told him, I said, hey man, what if this counteracts with my medicine?
01:26:05.000
I went back to the doctor and he's like, your blood pressure is perfect.
01:26:09.000
And he was like, you know, the goal is to get you to a healthy weight and get you off your blood pressure.
01:26:15.000
I'd like to be 205. What did you do when you got down to the challenge?
01:26:21.000
215. 215 was the lightest I got after the weight challenge.
01:26:28.000
When we did the weight loss challenge, I kept losing weight and I got down to 215. Oh, after?
01:26:32.000
And so, if I could get down to 215 at the end of this one, I would love to do 205. I think I'm still not going to be in shape.
01:26:55.000
I think this month I'll be interested to see how much weight I lose because I'm already on a weight loss.
01:27:15.000
I haven't weighed myself since I got back off the tour.
01:27:32.000
Didn't you make some wacky deal where you kind of have to be on the road constantly?
01:27:36.000
I made a deal, but I don't have to do whatever I don't want to do.
01:27:46.000
And so when you go on tour, you essentially just take that bus from town to town?
01:27:55.000
Because I was talking to Sturgill and his band yesterday, they were in here, and he was saying that he would rather be on a bus for three days than go to an airport.
01:28:20.000
You can watch shit on the fucking TV. You can sit around.
01:28:25.000
I got Tim Dillon on the road with me this week.
01:28:27.000
That's smart to get a sober guy for this month.
01:28:34.000
Tim's a good sober guy because he seems like a drunk.
01:28:40.000
It's interesting that he does seem like a drunk, but he's not.
01:28:44.000
You would think that has to be done by a guy who's on a lot of drugs.
01:29:05.000
To me, he had the very best take of a lot of people that were attacking Louis.
01:29:11.000
They're really mediocre comedians who didn't like the fact that Louis was brilliant, and they're coming up with all these reasons why they hate him, on top of what he did.
01:29:20.000
Especially a certain camp of comedians really embraced that.
01:29:25.000
Louis always had his feet planted both amazingly and all mainstream and perfectly.
01:29:33.000
But when the alt camp really came after him, Ooh, hard, because those are the little virtue signaling twats.
01:29:38.000
And those were the ones who were like, oh, the king is done.
01:29:45.000
Yeah, those are the ones who also said, you can't do rape jokes unless you're Louis.
01:29:50.000
They were always saying that he's their exception for that.
01:29:53.000
LOL. LOL. What he's doing is really interesting.
01:29:59.000
Because he's just traveling around and he's just doing clubs.
01:30:02.000
I'm fascinated by what the draw is if he were to announce the big venue.
01:30:08.000
Because having traveled a lot this year, it makes me think that he would be at...
01:30:25.000
There's an excitement to it now where it's like, before it was like, he'll be back next year.
01:30:37.000
But maybe he's just decided to just do this and make a good living traveling around doing clubs and never do a special again.
01:30:48.000
I feel like I noticed different types of comics.
01:30:51.000
There's comics that like to live in L.A. and do spots in L.A. and not get out.
01:30:59.000
You know, the road's so different than LA and New York.
01:31:04.000
It's also, you know, it's all his fans that are coming to see him.
01:31:14.000
Because they were videotaping everything he said.
01:31:16.000
That's such a problem now, is people videotaping.
01:31:20.000
Everything I'm doing, they're just videotaping the entire thing.
01:31:22.000
Well, have you thought about using those yonder bags?
01:31:25.000
I have not because, I don't know, I think it's just a pain in the ass.
01:31:44.000
But the thing is, Yonder, they know how to do it.
01:31:47.000
The Tacoma show was the biggest show they'd ever handled before.
01:31:52.000
As soon as it ends, nobody's going on their phone, they're all talking to each other about what they just saw.
01:31:58.000
I did it leading up to my Netflix special, too.
01:32:11.000
Because right now I'm getting ready for my Netflix special, and what I realized is you've still got to take chances.
01:32:17.000
Even though you're in a theater, you're still going to have to roll the dice and take chances and write new material because you haven't really gotten it yet.
01:32:23.000
And I hate that people are recording me taking chances and trying to figure things out.
01:32:36.000
Even if you're just using it for yourself, just pay attention.
01:32:39.000
You know what's the best, but by best I mean the worst, was Miami.
01:32:43.000
Because when I used the Yonder Bags in Miami, where I was at the Jackie Gleason Theater, these motherfuckers, they would get up constantly to go outside to make phone calls and then come back.
01:32:53.000
So the crowd, instead of everybody sitting down focused, was just people constantly getting up and leaving and then coming back.
01:33:01.000
So to go outside, To go outside to use it and then to come back.
01:33:06.000
I've always said if you want to starve to death, open up a bookstore in Miami.
01:33:13.000
It was so clear watching the audience just get up and leave.
01:33:30.000
And it's also an all-night, you know, all night, all the time.
01:33:32.000
You can get good food in Miami at 3 in the morning.
01:33:36.000
No one thinks it's weird that you're looking for it, either.
01:33:40.000
They're like, yeah, there's like 12 restaurants right here.
01:33:41.000
When the bar's closed, you're like, I just got this drink.
01:33:53.000
But I like going there because it makes me really feel like I'm in another country.
01:33:57.000
Like I'm doing stand-up in Costa Rica or something.
01:34:02.000
There's so much dancing and the streets are filled with people.
01:34:20.000
But you have that beautiful BMW. I don't really drive.
01:34:39.000
Like financially, I don't really care about jewelry too much.
01:34:49.000
I stopped wearing my Rolex because I just thought it was too flashy and I thought I'd get robbed.
01:35:01.000
You're on stage in front of fucking 2,800 people, and then you go, hey, let's go out to a bar after this, and then you got $50,000 on your wrist.
01:35:19.000
You should go straight Tracy Morgan, just giant fucking gold ropes, big fat gold ropes, maybe a giant dollar bill sign.
01:35:27.000
I get anxiety when I hear about you guys spending money.
01:35:34.000
When you got this place, I got anxiety for you.
01:35:37.000
I know you got a lot of money, but I go, aren't you afraid you're going to run out?
01:35:48.000
And it's like when you got the Lambo, I got scared for you because I was like, why would you do that?
01:36:02.000
I don't think you should have money if you're not going to spend it.
01:36:06.000
But there's not a part of your comic brain that goes...
01:36:16.000
Because I go, I want to get the material sharp.
01:36:20.000
I want to make as much money while the sun shines.
01:36:26.000
Talk to me more often and stay off the molly, this guy.
01:36:41.000
It's so crazy what a character I've become now that I'm not even a real human anymore.
01:36:56.000
You know, as he got famous for being this wild man, you know, and people that knew Hunter would say that when the cameras were off, he was a different guy, but when he knew that the cameras were there, he would all of a sudden take on this character.
01:37:14.000
Fitzsimmons and I were reading off Hunter S. Thompson's Daily routine.
01:37:22.000
We're reading it off, and Beardy Man turned it into a video.
01:37:26.000
Turned it into a song, and then turned it into this crazy video.
01:37:32.000
Apparently, it didn't really live like that every day.
01:37:35.000
It was just like when someone was there watching in there.
01:37:39.000
He was just like, I'm just going to do coke and drink all day.
01:37:42.000
I'm going to wake up at four in the afternoon, and I'm going to eat fucking Cheetos and Doritos and enchiladas.
01:37:58.000
So he had this reporter there, and he's doing all these hard, hard drugs up until midnight, and at midnight, he started writing.
01:38:11.000
But when you're that guy, like, Kinnison said they would just lay out lines of coke for him, like...
01:38:25.000
I'll bring a drink on stage and I'll have my drink.
01:38:28.000
If I'm doing one show, I'll have it when I tell the machine story.
01:38:31.000
But if I just have a soda and I just take a big sip, they go fucking nuts.
01:38:40.000
So when people are like, hey, can I buy you a drink?
01:38:45.000
And no one had, like, when I told everyone I already slipped my Molly on stage, they just cheer.
01:38:57.000
I remember hearing about Amy and Sarah when they got in trouble for the jokes they made, going, that's a character I do.
01:39:04.000
And I can't wrap my head around a difference between who I am on stage and who I am off stage.
01:39:11.000
So, like, I can't understand being a character, even though, you know what I mean?
01:39:18.000
I'm basically an exaggerated version of me on stage.
01:39:28.000
But there are ways I've actually looked at life.
01:39:30.000
I've never said anything on stage where I'm like, this is not my perspective, but I'm going to take on this perspective in order to get these people to laugh at me.
01:39:43.000
Or take the high road and try to write the fucking joke the way you want it to sound.
01:39:50.000
That you gotta know that I don't really think that.
01:40:00.000
How much of you on the podcast is who you are off the podcast?
01:40:03.000
Oh my god, it's like 100% of me on the podcast.
01:40:07.000
I don't think I would know how to fake being someone else.
01:40:13.000
One of the reasons why this podcast works is because it seems like a hang.
01:40:24.000
If that wasn't the case, but it also makes it so much easier.
01:40:28.000
Can you imagine if you had a character that you were doing on a podcast and you have to keep that character up all the time?
01:40:33.000
For me, that's one of the reasons why it's so easy to do the UFC and so easy even to do stand-up.
01:40:44.000
Like when I do those UFC broadcasts and, you know, If I'm doing a pay-per-view, millions of people are watching this.
01:40:53.000
I don't even know what they're going to ask me.
01:41:04.000
So when John Anik turns to me, and he's like, you know, in this light heavyweight title fight, you know, blah, blah, blah, John Jones, and I'll just start going off.
01:41:13.000
But it's because of this, because I do this so often.
01:41:16.000
I feel like other sports broadcasters do so much more prep.
01:41:23.000
They all study their binders for like five days.
01:41:26.000
Well, I do study fights, but I study fights because I just happened to be a fan.
01:41:35.000
If I was doing basketball, I'd have to really pay attention to the teams, really pay attention to who's playing who and what the implications are.
01:41:45.000
So when something's happening, I'm like, I'm excited about this.
01:41:49.000
There's only one thing I know, and it's comedy.
01:41:51.000
That's the only thing I have any expertise at all, because I don't know anything about anything.
01:41:57.000
Well, I think that's one of the good things about being not so good at something.
01:42:00.000
It's like something that you get excited about.
01:42:04.000
I think archery and bow hunting, I think it helps my comedy.
01:42:10.000
Because it's something that I'm learning how to do.
01:42:16.000
It requires a lot of thinking and it's a very absolute thing where you can't fuck it up.
01:42:24.000
It's like there's a lot of work that has to go into it.
01:42:28.000
I don't know if I could get into anything without comedy being the purpose that I'm there.
01:42:33.000
Like if I got into archery, I'd be like, this is to write a bit about.
01:42:42.000
I never understood when people say they have hobbies.
01:42:59.000
Have that thing where I'm like, man, I wish I had more hobbies.
01:43:02.000
And then the way that I kind of talk myself down from the criticism is like, well, I just have a very busy life.
01:43:20.000
I've gone to a couple tracks to drive, and I really love it, but it's fucking...
01:43:27.000
They're not in proper L.A. You've got to go to them.
01:43:37.000
That could be one of our things we do for a class.
01:43:43.000
Are you allowed to use your own car or do you have to use their cars?
01:43:47.000
So basically at the Porsche driving experience, they have one in Atlanta, they have the one here.
01:43:57.000
So it's like turbos, GT3, you want to master the manual.
01:44:01.000
You pick a class and then that's your car for the experience, right?
01:44:08.000
They have a slip disc kind of thing where the ground moves.
01:44:14.000
If you want to feel like you can't drive, you get in the car.
01:44:37.000
And you get M2s, M3s, and M5s on different courses.
01:44:41.000
What we should do is to keep the competition alive.
01:44:49.000
Is do like two, three activities, like a driving, a shooting, or three different activities that none of us have previous experience in, and just straight competition.
01:45:02.000
But the driving part, you're going to be hampered by your weight.
01:45:08.000
You get an extra four or five hundred pounds in that front seat.
01:45:25.000
Yeah, unless you have alcohol you want to bring in.
01:45:27.000
We could break this up, and we could do it at another time, too.
01:45:41.000
We could do, on top of being sober, we can do another thing on another month where it's just a racing month.
01:45:58.000
The fascinating thing is like when they tell you.
01:46:11.000
The thing that gives, like maybe you two, where you get confident behind the wheel, I start getting nervous, going, it's going to flip, it's going to flip.
01:46:18.000
If you believe the instructor, because they're so good, and they tell you, Like, no, no, no.
01:46:26.000
Like, hit the throttle up to this point where you go, that's way too late to be hitting the brake.
01:46:34.000
Then you start to get the confidence to follow the instruction.
01:46:37.000
Well, Burks, you're going to panic when you realize how long 500 words is or 500 pages is.
01:46:42.000
Dude, when you said 500 pages, I panicked already.
01:46:50.000
That's probably 310. Oh, I couldn't read this fucking portion of just words that don't mean anything to me.
01:46:57.000
I'm saying that's 310. The Quantum Worlds of the Emergence of Space.
01:47:03.000
I would be like, I bet I couldn't understand the first sentence.
01:47:08.000
I listened to that book on audio and I had to go back over it multiple times.
01:47:28.000
Thinking about two quidbits, one belonging to Alice and the other belonging to Bob.
01:47:36.000
I mean, I look at your schedule and it gives me panic.
01:47:41.000
Speaking of panic, you guys talk amongst yourselves.
01:47:52.000
Yeah, we should have another month as a straight reading challenge.
01:47:59.000
What are the odds Joe goes back and listens to this?
01:48:20.000
And because I was like, because you're going to meet him and you're not going to know.
01:48:24.000
So I was like, I don't want, you know, I was just giving you a heads up.
01:48:27.000
And both Dave Williamson and Andrew, my cousin, the bus driver leaves and he goes, that's fucking a good prank.
01:48:33.000
And they're like telling someone that he's gay when he's not gay.
01:48:53.000
When you can't shit on the bus, you have to stop somewhere.
01:48:56.000
Also, what ends up happening is, you have two shows, you eat dinner at midnight, and you're like, alright, just go to bed, and then you have a fucking 4am.
01:49:05.000
Dude, first thing in the morning, you have hot wings at night.
01:49:08.000
You end up holding it for 40 minutes, you know, while you find a bathroom.
01:49:10.000
Leanne, we're driving through the Canadian Rockies, and Leanne pops up.
01:49:14.000
This is like her first day on the bus, and she's like, um, hey, where are the wipes at?
01:49:19.000
And I was like, no, you're not allowed to shit on the bus.
01:49:31.000
And I'm like, you're going to be shitting on the side of the road into the snow.
01:49:43.000
That's the other thing about the tour bus, is you see the country.
01:49:46.000
When you can shit, though, it changes your entire week.
01:49:49.000
Can you imagine how much fun it would have been if when you guys were touring with Joe, you guys had a tour bus?
01:49:55.000
You guys would have had the best times of your fucking lives.
01:50:12.000
It's the most state-of-the-art bus you can get.
01:50:22.000
No, it's the dumbest thing in the world to wrap your bus!
01:50:29.000
I saw his bus on the outside of my hotel in Madison, and I went in there, I'm like, oh, well, I mean, obviously it's his.
01:50:36.000
And I'm just like, I knocked on the window, nothing, and then I just like opened the door and just walked in.
01:50:42.000
And then, like, Dave, it's like, oh, I'm like, hi, my name's Ari, I'm a comedian, I know Bert.
01:50:53.000
It's so funny to see people, because Ari is a, the heightened version of Ari is in the In the atmosphere.
01:51:01.000
People hear stories about Ari, like him drugging people or whatever.
01:51:16.000
He's not that fucking savage that I hear about.
01:51:21.000
By the way, for the bus thing though, I also at one point had the biggest piece of shit bus.
01:51:37.000
Do you like how I just automatically went from my glass?
01:52:24.000
Dan Aykroyd gave us a massive speech on how good that vodka is.
01:52:30.000
Alright, if you take a little sip, I'm not going to be mad at you.
01:52:43.000
They actually have some sort of fucking diamonds that they use to filter it.
01:53:13.000
He's someone I can't imagine doing coke with that guy.
01:53:34.000
And we'll all put it to our lips, and we'll see if anyone opens their mouth.
01:53:55.000
If we're only by the Mayan calendar, I don't think it's October yet.
01:54:00.000
December 21st, 2012. Does that kombucha have alcohol in it?
01:54:05.000
Since the challenge isn't as intense, does the sobriety really matter?
01:54:20.000
Listen, the problem is Ari and I already got high earlier.
01:54:23.000
We were smoking cigars, and we both got a buzz.
01:54:39.000
How about with every drink you take, you have to do an additional class?
01:54:50.000
I'm going to get a fucking black belt in jiu-jitsu.
01:54:58.000
So we've got to have someone come in November 1st.
01:55:17.000
So I'm definitely going to have more than ten drinks.
01:55:25.000
Then, if you drink, every drink is an additional class.
01:55:30.000
So if you have three drinks in a night, you owe three more classes.
01:55:40.000
It can't be like, oh, I just have a fucking beer stein full of $2.
01:55:48.000
What about, like, does weed apply to the same thing?
01:55:54.000
I mean, do you realize, just for one night of drinking, I would have to do two classes a day for the whole month.
01:56:34.000
In Japan at the airport going, hey, can I get a sake bomb real quick?
01:56:56.000
The thing is, is people listening to this, they're severely disappointed, first of all, in me, for bringing in shot glasses and ice.
01:57:06.000
A lot of them I really look forward to doing this.
01:57:15.000
You might out-beat Bill Cosby as the number one comedian rapist.
01:57:23.000
Wait till you see the nicknames coming your way.
01:57:29.000
She said he might be the biggest serial rapist in history.
01:57:42.000
Think about what you want to do with your sobriety.
01:57:47.000
I'm going to die if he comes in with a fucking 12-pack of beer going, come on, guys.
01:57:51.000
There's a lot of booze in that fridge out there.
01:57:54.000
You could do a class per drink, 50 pages per drink, one or the other.
01:58:01.000
That means you could have two nights of drinking and drugs, and that's already like seven right there.
01:58:14.000
Ever since the Mali, my panic has been fucking tweaked.
01:58:16.000
I think my serotonin's not back, so I've been having panic attacks.
01:58:25.000
5-HTP. Can I tell you though, I get nervous taking anything.
01:58:37.000
When I get obsessive-compulsive, it turns it off.
01:58:43.000
Like, sometimes I'll get repetitive in my head, and I'll just start saying the same thing over and over and over again, and it fucking makes me crazy.
01:58:52.000
When we were doing that Sober October thing, there you go.
01:58:58.000
Ari, do you want to put them in my drink for me?
01:59:05.000
That's my only regret, is not bringing 5-HTP with me.
01:59:07.000
That'll ramp up your serotonin, though, for sure.
01:59:14.000
Yeah, I don't know what it's called, but sometimes when I get obsessive composed, I say the same thing over and over in my head.
01:59:22.000
It's great when you're working on a joke, because you just start chewing a joke over and over and over again, but it fucking backfires sometimes.
01:59:31.000
Last year when we were doing that crazy fitness shit, did that kill your chatter like Tommy and I were talking about?
01:59:44.000
It's hot as shit, and your brain just doesn't work.
01:59:48.000
And then when I get out, my serotonin levels are so high.
01:59:51.000
I feel great, and I'm calm, and I can get through the day.
01:59:59.000
Because you'd always said that if you don't work out, then you'd go crazy.
02:00:03.000
And I started noticing that that working out was making me sane.
02:00:07.000
And I was like, I wanted to talk to you about that.
02:00:22.000
I can't just go for a jog because it doesn't help right now.
02:00:28.000
When you're going for a jog, you kind of can go at your own pace.
02:00:31.000
If you're in front of that instructor, the instructor's going, come on, let's go, girls.
02:00:40.000
Yeah, I forced my bus driver to run a 5K the other day.
02:00:49.000
But those kind of things are so communal that you do them and you feel like a part of a community.
02:00:59.000
All the whole, we take the tour bus in, park it.
02:01:19.000
It's 5-HTP. L-tryptophan, which also converts to 5-HTP. Let's see.
02:01:28.000
There's some vitamins and adaptogens and stuff in there, too.
02:01:41.000
It's really good for people that are dealing with serotonin issues.
02:01:46.000
Man, I was hurting with panic this week in the tour bus.
02:01:52.000
The original name for New Mood was Roll On, Roll Off.
02:02:01.000
And Aubrey developed some shit to come down from Mali.
02:02:06.000
So that's literally what New Mood was originally invented for.
02:02:10.000
And then we decided, you know, well, there's a lot of benefit to increasing your serotonin naturally.
02:02:22.000
He actually couldn't take it with his meds because it was too much.
02:02:33.000
San Antonio and then Houston, but I think they're all sold out.
02:02:44.000
I think he has a nice big old, a couple places, but a big old ranch in Tulsa, yeah.
02:02:50.000
Did you ever have a part of your career where you were, where, not where, where we are kind of in like, or did you just go from like clubs to like fucking massive theaters?
02:03:06.000
And then you just, you never did like, you just went to like fucking massive venues, right?
02:03:27.000
I'm thinking about moving to New York in December.
02:03:32.000
Why do you want to move to New York and pull your kids out of school?
02:03:35.000
Move to New York for like two weeks and just fucking do...
02:03:43.000
You can do spots in L.A. and still see your family, bro.
02:03:57.000
The fantasy came before Ari drugged me because I was like, oh, it'd be so great to be with Ari for two weeks and just go do spots with him, Big J. Get drugged.
02:04:06.000
But you're not friends anymore, so you can't do that.
02:04:12.000
That I have been damage control trying to take care of him in this?
02:04:20.000
There was a part where I was like, I'm not going to talk about it at all.
02:04:24.000
When I asked you why you're upset, you're like, wait, we'll talk about it on the podcast.
02:04:31.000
During the weekend, I was like, I was worried about Ari.
02:04:35.000
And I was like, maybe I shouldn't bring this up because I don't think it's a good thing.
02:04:43.000
That's the real problem here, I think, is that I don't regret it.
02:04:47.000
I won't do it again, but I don't regret having done it that time.
02:04:55.000
And his wife is mad at me again, but that's definitely not going to be the last time, or it's not the first time.
02:05:05.000
I would love to see the video of Burt, like, kind of him realizing it.
02:05:18.000
I saw it today because I'm debating whether to release that podcast but I saw it and when I see it in my eyes I go back to that fucking moment where I'm like When you realize that.
02:05:29.000
I remember getting strapped into one of the fucking hot rods.
02:05:39.000
And then they strapped my hands so I couldn't touch anything.
02:05:54.000
The second he gave that to me, I said, I can't get out of this.
02:06:03.000
It overwhelmed me and I thought, what if I don't like this?
02:06:11.000
That's a fucking, that's a panic attack right there.
02:06:14.000
But, luckily, it was a very, it's, Molly's a really interesting drug.
02:06:20.000
Molly was like, don't worry, your cousin's here, rub his back.
02:06:22.000
Can you do Molly, because you did that to him, do you think we could allow him to do Molly in October?
02:06:38.000
As soon as he gave it to me and I felt it kick in, I went, I don't want to do this podcast.
02:06:48.000
I want to not have to explain the situation to my wife.
02:06:54.000
Maybe I would do Molly in the future if it was an awesome concert or something in Vegas or something cool.
02:07:03.000
Dude, I would do Molly and go to Britney Spears for the whole hell of a fucking show.
02:07:06.000
You remember all the lyrics to all the songs from before?
02:07:12.000
The best was, so I started dancing a little bit, because I knew what I was taking, so it was like embracing, kicking it in.
02:07:16.000
And he just goes out of the blue, are you on Molly right now?
02:07:20.000
And then we just get, he was like, I don't know what that was.
02:07:29.000
I went to see Mighty Mighty Ballstones in New York at Webster Hall.
02:07:39.000
First of all, his balls don't work, so he can't make babies.
02:07:51.000
In the right moment, you don't do it all the time.
02:07:58.000
Probably three times a year, four times a year.
02:08:14.000
It's just when it's around, that's all anybody's doing.
02:08:24.000
Yeah, my buddies had that bullet where you'd load it and then flip it and they'd have a little bump for you and you could hit it.
02:08:45.000
And they were like, oh, what are you going to do?
02:09:07.000
Imagine him, though, if you go, like, let's really do some Coke tonight.
02:09:38.000
I went down a YouTube rabbit hole the other day watching stories where people were talking about what Adderall did to them, what it was like when they were addicted to Adderall.
02:10:00.000
This was being prescribed to a lot of people, right?
02:10:18.000
I have a buddy of mine who's a writer who says almost all journalists are on it.
02:10:29.000
College admissions have started, a lot of them, adding in the application.
02:10:43.000
I talked to a doctor who said that I have to sign off on some of these things.
02:10:57.000
It's super common with people that are trying to get things done.
02:11:05.000
It'd be a really hard time to get off that stuff, though.
02:11:12.000
So are we really going to add that for every drink you just had a class?
02:11:40.000
That's how I'm planning on getting through the month.
02:11:48.000
You ever smoke a cigarette before you go on stage?
02:11:51.000
I took one of Hinchcliffe's cigarettes once before I went on stage, and I stole one of Chappelle's too.
02:12:01.000
But the cigarette does give you an interesting buzz.
02:12:17.000
Like, regularly smoking cigarettes late in life is DePaulo.
02:12:21.000
Like when he was 50. That's really where he started.
02:12:25.000
Do you know Maren was addicted to the lozenges?
02:12:29.000
And he was getting to the point where he couldn't see and getting physically ill.
02:12:34.000
He'd wake up and they'd go to sleep with him in his mouth.
02:12:49.000
He must have been really into his nicotine, man.
02:13:11.000
I tried the gum because I wanted to see if it gives you the same head brush.
02:13:18.000
I tried Snus in Stockholm, the packets you put on your side.
02:13:41.000
Do you like how white knuckling we're getting into this one?
02:13:59.000
I mean, Bert's on stage in front of 2,000 people.
02:14:05.000
I think if you do anything with a needle, it should be permitted, just because it's kind of high risk, and you deserve a little bit for taking the risk.
02:14:14.000
If we do anal chugs, where you drink the booze out of your pocket, and you just absorb tampons.
02:14:48.000
You can just stop and swap it in the plate glass windows.
02:14:53.000
You're just sitting there in class getting fucked up.
02:14:54.000
Can you imagine with your fucking swollen asshole what that would do?
02:15:03.000
Let's see if we can just get a tampon up your asshole first.
02:15:10.000
You went through two different years of going a whole month with no booze.
02:15:17.000
There's no way you could get a tampon in your asshole.
02:15:27.000
I have a tampon for each one of my family members.
02:15:30.000
Initial results say that this is an urban legend, but there are apparently medical cases that are happening.
02:15:35.000
This is my friend's wife, who is a fucking school teacher.
02:15:40.000
There's articles going back for 10 years saying kids have been doing this.
02:15:45.000
Dude, talk about having to break that from your kid going, hey, pull your pants down.
02:15:53.000
We did anal chugs in college and it was like for a fraternity where you do a handstand, pour a beer in a dude's asshole, and then catch it in a cup and then you drink it.
02:16:14.000
What kind of cleaning did you do of this person's asshole first?
02:16:18.000
All you had to hear was one person go, anal chug.
02:16:21.000
And you're like, looks like we're drinking out of each other assholes, boy.
02:16:28.000
Wait, you never though ingested through your asshole?
02:16:31.000
No, I chugged it out of someone else's asshole.
02:16:35.000
I'm talking about ingesting it, you can get way drunker.
02:16:43.000
How about if we can drink beer if we only do anal chugs?
02:16:54.000
If you have one ready to go, if it was the first to break Sober October, for sure, I would do an anal chug.
02:17:00.000
If you have a sip of that, I will do an anal chug.
02:17:05.000
What are the benefits of being sober this month?
02:17:14.000
I had already picked up hobbies I was going to do in Florida.
02:17:24.000
Yeah, my friend Steve Rinella just started doing it.
02:17:26.000
And he's like, why have I been wasting my time?
02:17:33.000
And she's like, she's not just, but like, she actually was like surviving off of it.
02:17:39.000
And she decided I don't want to do this anymore.
02:17:44.000
When somebody's like, I'm not doing this anymore.
02:18:00.000
She was on a Netflix documentary about the ocean, and I got obsessed with her spearfishing videos.
02:18:11.000
And she was telling me that she just decided to get into it.
02:18:33.000
And then she went to the spear fishing championships in Nantucket.
02:18:44.000
And she starts swimming down and she can't see anything.
02:18:46.000
And they're like, trust me, if you get down to the bottom 10 feet, it clears up because all the muscle's on the ground.
02:18:53.000
Popping up going like, I can't do it, I can't do it.
02:18:56.000
So the first day she didn't get anything and she's like, fuck it.
02:19:08.000
Spear fishing would have to be in a beautiful place.
02:19:15.000
They do it a lot in Northern California, but they have issues with sharks.
02:19:21.000
One guy on Ranella's podcast was talking about as he got to the top of the boat, there was a giant boil behind him, and his friends saw this huge fucking great white shark that had come up to try to bite him and then realized last minute that he wasn't a SEAL. Oh my god.
02:19:41.000
She's got a shot with her and a great white shark.
02:20:10.000
Great white sharks, I've been in the water with them a bunch.
02:20:16.000
Their intent is almost like when you watch a cage fighter move quick and you can't...
02:20:26.000
They take a right so quick, it's mind-boggling.
02:20:29.000
And you're like, oh, I definitely couldn't defend myself against that thing.
02:20:32.000
Remember when people used to kill sharks and everybody was excited?
02:20:53.000
It was before this big, all the bullshit about sharks.
02:20:58.000
Well, it was before everybody was killing them and it was like a big thing in the news.
02:21:02.000
I just thought it was like some shit you bought and was made out of shark's fins.
02:21:06.000
I didn't know they cut the fins off and then throw the fish back.
02:21:16.000
The money is in the fins, and they don't give a fuck about that animal's life.
02:21:23.000
That's dark, but you know what the darkest shit is?
02:21:26.000
That's the darkest shit, because that doesn't even do anything.
02:21:28.000
At least shark fin soup, you're actually eating something.
02:21:32.000
But this part of the thing of it is the fact that it's an exclusive delicacy.
02:21:36.000
But the rhino horn in some Asian cultures, it doesn't do anything to you.
02:21:42.000
It's supposed to give you a hard on, but we all know that there's other stuff that works better than that.
02:21:45.000
But the rhino horn, what it does do is it symbolizes your wealth and opulence that you can afford to drink rhino horn tea.
02:21:54.000
It's great, but it's super fucking popular still.
02:21:57.000
Still, rhinos are murdered every day for their fucking horns.
02:22:05.000
Well, the elephant's for ivory though, which is more like for pretty things.
02:22:09.000
But with rhino horns, they chop their fucking horns off in these reserves.
02:22:14.000
They'll trank them and chop their horns off so that they're not worth anything.
02:22:22.000
The fucking conservationists will chop their goddamn horns off so that people don't kill them.
02:22:33.000
I thought maybe they were doing that with tusks.
02:22:47.000
Yeah, so they're like, oh, I don't want to be gay.
02:23:00.000
You can smoke cigars because you guys smoke cigars.
02:23:08.000
Ari and I were saying, while we're doing it, I hope they tell us it's over.
02:23:22.000
I'm going to still try to do their classes, but if I'm out, I'm still going to wear my whoop belt.
02:24:20.000
We did have the cigars, but you guys can't have cigars.
02:24:22.000
By the way, this would make me so fucking happy.
02:24:29.000
I mean, I'll still try to do the challenges with you.
02:25:09.000
You guys take a shot and watch Tom and I go fucking toe-to-toe.
02:25:13.000
If we did back out right now and Ari and I just decided to just stop this foolish, childish game and just better ourselves for the month, I mean, Ari and I are not alcoholics.
02:25:28.000
I mean, but Ari and I don't even have a problem drinking.
02:25:30.000
I think you'd admit, at the very least, you have a bit of a problem.
02:25:47.000
You and I can just better ourselves this month.
02:25:49.000
And we could go to dinner with our ladies and just have a nice glass of wine like a gentleman.
02:26:00.000
When you're at a Yankee game, drink some beers with the guys.
02:26:03.000
Or wouldn't it feel so much better if you went the whole month without it?
02:26:06.000
And then at the end, then you could really appreciate it.
02:26:16.000
How about me and Ari will back out, and you two just go to town against each other?
02:26:43.000
What's your resting heart rate from when you're asleep?
02:26:47.000
Oh, Tom's is like 32. He's 35. What does that mean?
02:26:52.000
It means his heart has a really hard time getting up.
02:26:54.000
It means that if I lose 40 pounds, I might be the most dynamic endurance athlete alive.
02:27:09.000
My resting heart rate, I think, I can just tell it on my watch, too.
02:27:12.000
No, no, no, but when you sleep, it's like your true...
02:28:09.000
I think if you do more classes than Tom, you would win.
02:28:29.000
But every minute that we don't drink, it makes it more of a waste to not have just drank it already.
02:28:35.000
Where the fuck do you find your resting heartbreak?
02:28:38.000
I just saw it when I woke up, and now I don't see it, so I don't know where it is.
02:28:43.000
Ari Shapiro Ju coming to Chicago in November and San Jose as well, Nashville, Texas.
02:28:50.000
It's so interesting how much shit this thing tells you.
02:29:41.000
And then it says recovery HRV. Well, my resting heart rate's 27. What?
02:29:56.000
Mine says that your resting heart rate is 65. Oh, mine says 61. Mine's 66. Yours says 78 on mine.
02:30:10.000
Mine says 61 to 74. That's the range, but I guess it's giving me your...
02:30:25.000
You're winning by being more fucked up than us.
02:30:51.000
Is there seriously, like if we're all doing what we agreed to do, how can someone win?
02:31:02.000
If you want to pull out the fucking, open the psycho door...
02:31:08.000
I actually think last year you actually stopped liking me.
02:31:31.000
I don't think we should do whoever does the extra classes.
02:31:38.000
And look, we already all have crazy travel schedules and stuff.
02:31:48.000
But the problem is, if there's a way to win, I'm going to try to win.
02:32:02.000
Sober October winner doesn't have to defend his belt.
02:32:21.000
Otherwise, you're just out of the competition for a belt.
02:32:26.000
I wish we could have that caveat of a drink in class, because I would love a drink before I get on my plane tonight.
02:32:44.000
We have got a bunch of other assholes that we don't even know invested in our little thing.
02:32:51.000
Who wouldn't even be upset with us if we just started drinking a little bit but still trained?
02:32:56.000
We could measure what days we're drinking and doing ketamine and stuff.
02:33:00.000
If we could stay sober and just eat edibles for the month, that works.
02:33:11.000
Let's just stay alcohol free and then see whatever happens.
02:33:38.000
Whenever you get a tender, like, where is it from?
02:33:39.000
Like, what part of the bird is the tender part?
02:34:01.000
If you want to do edibles under 20 milligrams, I'm in.
02:34:11.000
I'd like this fucking thing to monitor good sleep.
02:34:18.000
I won't use them, but I don't mind giving you guys edibles if you need that to get through sobriety.
02:34:30.000
Did you tell your doctor, though, that you're going to dial back drinking to get through the month?
02:34:34.000
Because if you do it cold turkey, you can get really sick.
02:34:53.000
Hey, you know, this is our fourth year of this shit.
02:34:58.000
No, you lost the weight in 2016. First year was a weight loss challenge.
02:35:04.000
This is our fourth year of doing something crazy.
02:35:11.000
But you've got to be legit 205. I'll do a hydration test on you.
02:35:13.000
I'll bring in one FC. We're bringing the 1FC Championship people to do a fucking hydration shift.
02:35:18.000
I think even if he cuts, I mean, how to get to 205 would be a miracle.
02:35:30.000
However, if you get to 205, you could hold on to that belt for a year.
02:35:36.000
And if you don't get there, I get to 205. A legit 205. Yeah.
02:35:40.000
I'd say any 205. And if you don't get there, you have to go to therapy for a year to talk about your weight loss.
02:35:53.000
I've been out of therapy and then this fucking happens and I had to talk to my therapist.
02:36:36.000
They all have to be different, or it's just 10 classes?
02:36:38.000
If you fuck up and accidentally take a drink, you need an extra class every drink.
02:36:47.000
If you want to take jiu-jitsu every day, I think you still win.
02:36:55.000
But I think you should mix it up, but I don't think you should have to.
02:36:59.000
I'll enjoy that because whenever I go into a new class, I'll do an Insta story.
02:37:06.000
But I think what's important is that you do something to better yourself.
02:37:09.000
I mean, if you want to take 10 tactical classes, take that.
02:37:14.000
If you want to do 10 jiu-jitsu classes, take that.
02:37:16.000
500 pages of a book can't be a children's book.
02:37:25.000
You can read a hundred pages of five different books if you want to just fucking...
02:37:29.000
One of the things I like doing is I like reading a couple chapters of a book and then I get bored and I pick up another book.
02:37:59.000
We should also be able to do edibles and some sort of like...
02:38:06.000
Be it methamphetamine or MDMA. What if you have a prescription for Adderall and you don't want to...
02:38:20.000
You probably should take it if you're panicking.
02:38:44.000
I don't have to say, I'll get to 160. Jesus, that scared the fuck out of me just thinking about that.
02:38:53.000
But we're not all going to be here in November.
02:39:27.000
Maybe I'll come weigh in at the UFC. You want to go to the fights?
02:39:32.000
You can weigh in at the UFC. Oh, come to the fights.
02:39:35.000
Weigh in at 205 at the UFC. That's Nate Diaz, Jorge Masvidal.
02:39:43.000
I will bring that belt and if you can make 205, I will hand it to you on stage at the UFC weigh-ins.
02:39:54.000
I will set it up with the UFC so that you can weigh in.
02:40:03.000
Except for the fact that you can never weigh 205. So we can stream it live.
02:40:09.000
You won't do it, but this is an awesome challenge.
02:40:28.000
But you can lose the 30 pounds in a month healthy.
02:40:46.000
But if you make 205, I will bring that fucking belt to New York City and I'll put it on you on the fucking stage where the UFC fighters weigh in and we'll stream it live.
02:41:10.000
And just not eat up at night and go into the West.
02:41:14.000
You just can't fuck around like you did with Tom.
02:41:22.000
Do you have any genes that could help you with this?
02:41:27.000
He was drinking nothing but water the whole month.
02:41:34.000
Yeah, you could have got ahead of him early and set a pace that he couldn't keep up with.
02:41:39.000
He did his best, and he only beat you by a few pounds.
02:41:57.000
And this is great for me because there's no chance.
02:42:06.000
The thing is, if you weigh, if you do do it, and you weigh 205, for me, I don't need that belt.
02:42:20.000
Yeah, because you're only going to think about it if you say marinate.
