00:00:40.000
Yeah, I mean, if you look close, you can see it.
00:00:49.000
They're pushing the James Bond one back forever because they think that theaters are coming back.
00:00:59.000
They kind of fuck themselves with like Wonder Woman and all these movies like Soul that have been coming out, you know, at the same time.
00:01:05.000
It's so nice and easy just watching it at your house.
00:01:07.000
Yeah, you don't have to listen to people talk and hear people on their phones and see people texting and the light flashes in front of you and...
00:01:17.000
You know, I have a friend who always brings a gun to the movie theater.
00:01:22.000
He goes, that one time that it happened in Colorado.
00:01:26.000
I'm like, think about how many times people go to the movies and how rarely people get shot at the movie theater.
00:01:34.000
But that one time, he just keeps a gun everywhere.
00:01:38.000
It's funny, after that last shooting, you know how you make reservations in a movie theater?
00:01:45.000
I noticed the next day, I went to a theater near the theater that there was a shooting, and I looked at the reservations, and it was all around the exits, like, instead of the middle.
00:01:57.000
There hasn't been any mass shootings since COVID, right?
00:02:10.000
Yeah, but there hasn't been, like, school shootings, like the big ones.
00:02:35.000
I had the car drive me the whole way here, which was interesting.
00:02:39.000
Driving a Tesla from Los Angeles to Austin, that's an experience because you have to charge.
00:02:47.000
Does it get hairy when you look at your mileage and you try to figure out what the supercharger is?
00:03:00.000
There was one time where I got a little nervous just because there was a big traffic jam and stuff.
00:03:07.000
I think like nothing crazy, like five, ten percent.
00:03:12.000
But driving the whole way there, it drove the whole way here, and that was so much easier.
00:03:18.000
The first night I drove 20 hours straight because I wasn't driving.
00:03:45.000
What happens when you take two of them together?
00:04:17.000
Just look at your prescription bottle right there.
00:04:19.000
Yeah, just look at the one that's in your pants.
00:04:24.000
What I took this morning was called sildenafil.
00:04:37.000
So it was, you know, and what was cool is every time you charge, you have to like sit there for like 25 minutes, 30 minutes.
00:04:47.000
Yeah, it usually takes you up to 80% because when you're charging a Tesla, the first half of the battery charges way faster than the second half.
00:04:57.000
But there was a lot of stops and it kind of made it easier because you're stopping so much.
00:05:01.000
Because usually when you're on a road trip, you're driving like five, six hours until you get empty on a gas tank.
00:05:08.000
It almost killed me once, but other than that...
00:05:12.000
A semi was getting into my lane, and it over-exaggerated.
00:05:22.000
I didn't spin out where I think if it was a normal car, I would have flipped and done all that shit.
00:05:27.000
Well, you have the X, and so does Jamie, and the best thing about that one is the center of gravity is amazing.
00:05:32.000
You ever seen those things where they hit them?
00:05:39.000
There's a really cool website called Wham Bam Tesla Cam or something like that.
00:05:46.000
It's just people sending all their Tesla Cam videos of all the accidents and stuff.
00:05:50.000
Some of the videos you watch, you're so safe in a Tesla, especially the axe.
00:06:01.000
Do you see there's some pictures that came out today of the new S? No.
00:06:09.000
The pictures, like some spy cam pictures came out today.
00:06:15.000
They don't know yet because supposedly there was plaid and a new refresh of the X and the S. And it might be the Plaid or it might be the new refresh.
00:06:26.000
But they've stopped production of the X and the S for like 14 days.
00:06:30.000
And supposedly they're going to see a refresh on both of them.
00:06:34.000
A lot of people are thinking the X is going to take away the doors and the Falcon Wing doors.
00:06:42.000
Were you there when Tiffany Haddish had it dancing in the parking lot?
00:06:48.000
I went home, I'm like, I'm getting one, and I did my dumb shit where I was drunk, and I'm like, I'm just gonna get a loan, and I bought it that night.
00:07:17.000
I haven't driven the Porsche Taycan, but I heard that's the shit, too.
00:07:25.000
Where it beat a Porsche GT3 and a Turbo in some sort of a race, which is just bananas for this electric car can beat like their best performance cars.
00:07:35.000
Yeah, but no matter how hard they try or Ford tries with their electric cars, they're never going to have that supercharger network.
00:07:59.000
Well, it looks like the fender flares are bulged.
00:08:04.000
The thing about the Plaid is the Plaid has wider tires and I think it has more battery life too, right?
00:08:22.000
You know, and the Porsche, I don't think, even gets 250. Right.
00:08:25.000
And, like I was saying, there's no supercharger network for all these cars.
00:08:30.000
I could never have done that with a Ford or a Porsche, you know, from the LA all the way here.
00:08:36.000
I think there actually is a supercharger network for regular electric cars.
00:08:47.000
It's not the same speed and they're almost impossible to find.
00:08:52.000
Tesla has made it so there's stops everywhere, so they know if you're driving from LA to Austin, there's a path you can go.
00:09:01.000
So if you put Austin as your navigation destination, it'll say, okay, Brian, you gotta stop here, you gotta stop here.
00:09:11.000
Unless Big Brother knows that you're going there, and then they wait for you.
00:09:14.000
What about this convertible conversion of a Model S? Is that real?
00:09:17.000
Yeah, there's a company in, I think, San Francisco that you can pay, it's like $30,000, and they'll convert any Tesla into a convertible, and it could either be automatic convertible or a hard top they just pull off.
00:09:30.000
Oh, well, you know what's dope is that they took a four-door and they turned it into a two-door, too.
00:09:42.000
Well, you know, any of those aftermarket things are probably good for like a year or two, you know?
00:09:47.000
Yeah, well, the real issue is the stability of the chassis, like the way the car is designed.
00:09:54.000
That's one of the things they did with the new Corvette, is that they designed it to be a convertible right away.
00:10:03.000
So that when they make it a non-convertible, there's no rigidity loss.
00:10:09.000
I think they did that with a Porsche, with a 911, too.
00:10:14.000
Because the problem with convertibles is always they feel like a little kind of shaky.
00:10:20.000
Like, even my Corvette, which is like an aftermarket chassis, it's like...
00:10:28.000
There's a little wiggle to it that's uncomfortable.
00:10:35.000
I might bring it to someone and see if they can engineer something that keeps it from wiggling.
00:10:41.000
Yeah, but there's something about those cards that don't have a roof.
00:10:47.000
When you take the top off, it was like a top that you take off.
00:11:02.000
So it's like one piece roof, you know, that you take off.
00:11:06.000
So it's like, it's not the whole roof, because you still have like the back pillars and everything.
00:11:10.000
But even then, you could feel it was like less stable.
00:11:51.000
Well, this is, like, the same material that they use when people, like, are freezing in the woods.
00:12:11.000
Because I see people working out and I'm like, you know that's just water.
00:12:20.000
I don't necessarily think it's good to run in a rubber suit.
00:12:22.000
It's like, doesn't your body need to fucking cool off?
00:12:30.000
People just want to get on the scale and see a number.
00:12:34.000
That's the thing of those waist things that people wear, those waist slimmers.
00:12:42.000
I almost bought it because I was like, let's see how this goes.
00:12:48.000
They'll find you and target stupid ads your way.
00:12:55.000
It's a thing where people don't want to do the whole...
00:13:02.000
So if someone can come along and they offer you some sort of a fix, like a suck weight belt, you're like, does it work?
00:13:13.000
If there was something that worked that actually could make you slimmer...
00:13:17.000
Have you seen Whitney using that thing that she puts on her ass where it's like these giant...
00:13:20.000
It looks like it's a thing that shocks someone awake when they're dead.
00:13:24.000
They put it on her butt and it's just like a butt workout, she says.
00:13:29.000
She'll probably explain it more, but I don't know what the fuck's doing.
00:13:37.000
I noticed like every other day she has a huge gash on her face or something like that.
00:13:41.000
COVID has not been unkind to a lot of us comedians that constantly need attention and need to perform.
00:13:50.000
It's so nice to be on stage again and having shows again.
00:13:56.000
Yeah, she doesn't know if she's going to move here, but she's thinking about it.
00:14:15.000
I got him on a show in a couple weeks to have Holtzman come back.
00:14:24.000
He just won his first fight at TKO in the first round.
00:14:29.000
Because he was going to do some amateur fights back when we were at the Comedy Store a year ago.
00:14:35.000
I think that's his first fight and he told me it was probably going to be his last fight.
00:14:40.000
Yeah, I told him, I'm like, listen, he's a stud.
00:14:47.000
But to be doing that, like, you really should only do that.
00:14:56.000
And if you do the two of them together, you're going to miss something.
00:14:58.000
I felt like that when I was fighting and doing comedy at the same time in the beginning of my stand-up career.
00:15:09.000
Especially back then, I had a full-time job, too.
00:15:14.000
That's a thing, like, people want to, like, they think they could do everything.
00:15:22.000
You know, like, what is the number of hours you have in the day?
00:15:25.000
Like, how much time do you really need for something, you know?
00:15:31.000
Yeah, I mean, especially when it comes to comedy, you should probably protect your head, not injure your head when you have to remember things and talk.
00:15:38.000
But a little bit of brain damage is good for comedy.
00:15:45.000
They didn't even get a little bit of brain damage.
00:15:54.000
Remember when Luke Skywalker got hit by a car after Star Wars and it changed his whole entire look?
00:16:09.000
Did it take a while before they figured out how to fix it?
00:16:13.000
Well, I just know from if you look at Star Wars and then Empire Strikes Back, I think it was between those two movies, you could tell there was a definite...
00:16:20.000
I remember he had some kind of weird scar or something, or they tried to put a lot of makeup on his face to make him look a little bit more normal.
00:16:39.000
I was looking at the picture when he brought up the scar.
00:16:46.000
This is from Empire Strikes Back, so that would make sense.
00:16:49.000
Okay, before Empire Strikes Back began filming, Hamill was in a car accident and fractured his nose and left cheekbone.
00:16:58.000
The wampa mauling Skywalker's face may have been a way to explain Hamill's appearance.
00:17:08.000
If you type in before and after, I remember there was a really good photo that kind of showed...
00:17:15.000
I guess I'm used to people getting their faces smashed in.
00:17:27.000
Yeah, you get accustomed to people getting their face smashed in.
00:17:34.000
69. I'm going to lose weight during this podcast.
00:17:40.000
I can't believe how much sweatier these are than the other ones we've used.
00:17:43.000
Last time we wore these, I don't remember it being this bad either.
00:17:47.000
This is like, this must be that shit that they use when you get trapped in the woods.
00:17:55.000
Because we did wear these silver ones before, but these are new ones.
00:18:03.000
This is if, like, you go outside the spaceship.
00:18:28.000
Antones in general has history, but that Antones is a fairly new location, apparently.
00:18:37.000
Me and Tony have actually reset the whole entire show because the band didn't want to move out or they couldn't move out.
00:18:43.000
Jeremiah's about to have a baby and stuff like that.
00:18:47.000
We got Gary Clark Jr.'s band, which is just a legit band.
00:18:53.000
And those guys already all got COVID, so they're not worried about shit.
00:18:59.000
They got COVID when Jamie and I went to see Gary perform.
00:19:04.000
Jamie and I went to see Gary perform with Suzanne from Honey Honey and Tony.
00:19:10.000
And Tony got COVID. Everybody got COVID but me.
00:19:20.000
I don't know if it's all the stuff you've been telling me to take.
00:19:22.000
Like, you know, I've been taking everything from zinc to turmeric or vitamin D, corstein.
00:19:31.000
I think that, because I've been around, like, we did a podcast once where it was me, Brian Holtzman, and one of the guys had COVID right across from us, and the next day he got super sick, so he had it while we were all together in this locked, small room.
00:19:51.000
So it makes me wonder if, or that, if it's just some people are immune to it more than others.
00:19:57.000
Well, they do say that some people who've gotten colds, you know, like if you got colds and you develop immunity to coronavirus, it might in some way protect you from this coronavirus.
00:20:06.000
They also think there's some sort of variability that has to do, a lot of it is just guesswork, right?
00:20:11.000
They think there's some variability with blood type.
00:20:14.000
They think that like O positive blood, what blood type are you, dude?
00:20:47.000
Because I know a lot of people, they didn't have symptoms, but then they lost their taste or smell for like two days.
00:20:54.000
But Radio Rahim, his buddy, no symptoms either.
00:21:03.000
A thing that happens to a virus when it goes through a number of hosts, that it sort of dies off, that it becomes weaker.
00:21:12.000
Part of herd immunity is a bunch of people develop antibodies for it, and also the Spanish flu.
00:21:24.000
The problem is, like, you don't know with these motherfuckers how much of what they tell you is political.
00:21:30.000
Like, how much did they not tell us while Trump was in office?
00:21:38.000
What's safe and what's not safe, opening businesses, what you can do for your health.
00:21:45.000
I guess the UK has a new version that's more deadly.
00:22:04.000
I saw this whole thing where they're just like nightclubs are all open.
00:22:11.000
You might get there and fucking everybody's welding inside their homes.
00:22:16.000
But I do know New Zealand, which has zero cases at all, like Dan Hooker just fought on Fight Island, and he can't go home.
00:22:24.000
He can't go home until he's quarantined until February 21st.
00:22:27.000
So if that means maybe if he goes home, he has to just sit tight and can't go anywhere and can't leave the house until February 21st before he goes outside.
00:22:35.000
But they have very strict quarantine laws when you get outside the country.
00:23:04.000
And here we are in 2021, and they're buck wild.
00:23:20.000
I'll look through and see if they have a conclusion in here.
00:23:23.000
Finally, people are accepting the idea that this might have come from a fucking lab.
00:23:27.000
I brought it up once with Brett Weinstein and some fucking ridiculous liberal smear website was saying that I'm promoting a dangerous conspiracy that had emanated from a lab.
00:23:44.000
Like, it's not like we're making up the fact that there's a level four lab right there.
00:23:59.000
Any theory that you had, if Trump was like anti-China, you couldn't say anything that possibly would connect China to making a mistake that caused this virus to be released.
00:24:13.000
How long do you think until Trump comes on this podcast?
00:24:23.000
You know, he's going to try to run again, I think.
00:24:26.000
Yeah, I think he's going to do that Patriot Party thing.
00:24:36.000
That seems like the kind of party that a guy who has a gold toilet would come up with.
00:24:44.000
He's probably going to do his first press conference on American flag tie.
00:24:50.000
It's probably going to do well if he does, but I don't think it's going to do as well as it did last time.
00:24:54.000
It would have done much better if it wasn't for the Capitol Hill attack.
00:25:09.000
First of all, they're never going to let that die.
00:25:16.000
He really did say, we need a show of strength, march towards the Capitol.
00:25:23.000
And a lot of the people that did do it, they're using him saying that as their legal defense.
00:25:28.000
The people that got arrested, they say, Trump told us to.
00:25:35.000
I bet he's just going to have piles of lawsuits.
00:25:39.000
Well, he's also in trouble because whatever lawsuits...
00:25:45.000
He could have never pardoned himself from the lawsuits from the state.
00:25:50.000
So the state, like all the criminal charges the state was filing against him, were always going to be possible.
00:25:58.000
And New York State apparently is filing a bunch of shit against him.
00:26:08.000
He should have pardoned Snowden and should have pardoned Julian Assange.
00:26:14.000
At least he would have got the support of a lot of people on the left.
00:26:18.000
At least he would have got the support of a lot of people that could have at least...
00:26:27.000
Like the fact, oh yeah, the economy was kicking ass before COVID. Oh yeah, unemployment was down.
00:26:39.000
But no one's even going to talk about those things now.
00:26:42.000
You'll hear it from some Republicans that'll bring up, what about the good things that Trump did?
00:26:47.000
And they'll have like some Fox News segments where they'll discuss it.
00:26:50.000
You know, OAN, that network, and Newsmax, they'll fucking try to beat it down, but at the end of the day, that Capitol Hill thing, that's a wrap.
00:27:05.000
I think he said that Trump felt like he was too gay to pardon me.
00:27:13.000
But meanwhile, he's a perfect example where I don't buy that this country's homophobic.
00:27:19.000
Like, that guy was the most popular man in the country for several months during the quarantine when everybody's locked in their house and people loved him.
00:27:30.000
Not only is he gay as fuck, he's converting straight guys.
00:27:35.000
Giving them meth and butt-fucking them and then having them work with tigers.
00:27:41.000
He has fucking wild predators that he keeps locked up in these stupid fences.
00:27:52.000
Like, if you're just an undeniable character, and he's an undeniable character, we're like, ah, we fucking like him.
00:28:02.000
And if you're gay and you happen to be annoying, people just don't like you, you say, oh, those people are homophobic.
00:28:14.000
Maybe it's a small percentage of the population today that are homophobic.
00:28:18.000
Maybe what's really going on is you're annoying.
00:28:24.000
Tiger King Joe Exotic now wants a pardon from Biden.
00:28:32.000
So he's probably going to be out in five, wouldn't he?
00:28:40.000
Unfortunately, Joe Exotic, one of the hit men, yeah, there you go, he attempted to hire, was an undercover FBI agent.
00:28:46.000
Exotic was arrested and charged with two counts of murder for hire, eight counts of violating the Lacey Act for falsifying wildlife records, and nine counts of violating the Endangered Species Act.
00:29:01.000
Why did he think that Trump was going to pardon him?
00:29:02.000
It doesn't make any sense that Trump would pardon him.
00:29:06.000
Fox News reports the Exotic legal team had fully believed that Exotic's names would be included on the list of pardons granted by Trump prior to his last day in office.
00:29:15.000
One legal team member had even waited in a limousine outside the prison in which Exotic is being held in the event the pardon was announced.
00:29:28.000
The limo driver's just sitting there like, anytime now, waiting for the call, it's a sad thing.
00:29:31.000
I wonder why they thought Trump was going to do it.
00:29:33.000
Well, it's because Trump's people kind of match with him, you know?
00:29:37.000
That whole show was pretty much Trump people, or Trumpers, you know?
00:29:48.000
You got Trumpers that are like the Republican businessman type who want no regulations for anything and they want to just be able to dump toxic waste into the river.
00:29:57.000
And then you got the Trumpers that are just not that sophisticated.
00:30:03.000
You know, when you're like coming down off of meth and you don't want to think too much and he says something cool on TV like, yeah!
00:30:11.000
You know, they say, I started watching this show last night.
00:30:28.000
All those shows, TLC or whatever network, they do a good job to just reel you in and just make you watch everything.
00:30:40.000
But yeah, I highly recommend watching that show.
00:30:45.000
I highly recommend you try some of this tobacco.
00:31:06.000
They need to fucking get cut out of their house.
00:31:12.000
Because you look at them as like, that was someone's baby.
00:31:19.000
He got parents that just probably didn't pay attention to him or someone abused him or he got terrible habits that he developed early on or he got bullied or horrible things happened and now here he is just satisfying himself with stuffing things in his mouth all day.
00:31:37.000
The show is pretty sad and depressing, especially when you realize...
00:31:41.000
Because a lot of those people, you always wonder, how much do they really eat?
00:31:46.000
And then you watch them ask them, how many soda poppies do you have per day?
00:31:54.000
Yeah, that's where a lot of it comes from, the sugar.
00:32:00.000
Dude, I tell you, Liquid IV has saved my life from not having...
00:32:04.000
I used to always be like Diet Cokes and Gatorades and PowerAids and stuff.
00:32:11.000
Dude, the Onnit gym is not too far from here, son.
00:32:18.000
Yeah, but the problem is what you need is a trainer.
00:32:33.000
Yeah, but you've known that I'm good at diets and I can take like...
00:32:41.000
Yeah, but that was like breakup time and you got energized.
00:32:46.000
What's weird now is that it's so funny because if you would see what I eat every day, you'd be like, how is that possible?
00:32:54.000
Like whatever, my metabolism's just got to be the worst metabolism ever.
00:33:02.000
In order to lose weight, you can't eat reasonably.
00:33:06.000
Because that's just going to keep the weight on you.
00:33:17.000
So whatever you eat, if you eat enough to just fuel you during the day, you will stay the exact same weight.
00:33:23.000
And people are like, well, look, Brian eats really reasonably.
00:33:27.000
But that doesn't make up for all the shit you ate all those years that make the weight pack on you.
00:33:34.000
So to lose weight, you have to be at a calorie deficit.
00:33:38.000
You could go keto, and you can go paleo, and there's probably some benefits in that, and bloating, and visceral fat.
00:33:47.000
You know, from eating too much gluten and sugar and stuff.
00:33:50.000
But at the end of the day, the only real way to lose weight is to be at a calorie deficit.
00:33:57.000
Like when I was doing the carnivore diet last year, I lost a shitload of weight because I didn't do any cheating.
00:34:20.000
Last year, I didn't cheat at all, and I didn't eat much.
00:34:25.000
I'd eat a ribeye in the morning, and then I'd be pretty satisfied until nighttime, and then I'd eat a little bit of meat at nighttime, and I lost 12 pounds in a month.
00:34:36.000
I want to actually do that again, especially living here.
00:34:39.000
But it's just so boring after five months or so.
00:34:43.000
You're just like, God, I just want chips and sauce.
00:34:48.000
Sometimes you just want rice with chicken and some garlic sauce.
00:34:52.000
You remember that place, that Cuban place that was in Encino?
00:35:24.000
If you go to a Cuban restaurant, the food is almost like the people.
00:35:43.000
Because of these disciplined portions, and the tastes are delicate, and it's made...
00:35:53.000
I was like, I'm not going to watch a documentary around a guy who makes sushi.
00:36:06.000
There's some people that just go way past where everybody else is doing it.
00:36:10.000
That's that ATX Sushi Bar ATX, whatever they call it.
00:36:27.000
Like, that was becoming friends with Bourdain and watching his show.
00:36:32.000
It made me realize, mostly watching his show really made me realize, even before I became friends with him, that food is an art form.
00:36:50.000
Like, I'm narrow-minded with my view of what an art is, you know?
00:36:55.000
If you can make me eat something that I normally think is disgusting and make me go crave it, that's amazing.
00:37:01.000
Like, when you first, a long time ago, you took me to get Fog Raw for my first time, and I was scared.
00:37:07.000
I was like, you're, like, telling me how horrible it is and how...
00:37:16.000
I had sushi for my first time 10 years prior to this.
00:37:21.000
And I remember you sat me down, and you got me my own plate.
00:37:30.000
That first bite, it just melted in your mouth like butter and just so delicious.
00:37:38.000
It's just like regular liver just is too weird.
00:37:57.000
It appeals to their weird wolf DNA. They want the liver.
00:38:00.000
You would think, though, after that I started getting adventurous because you showed me what real good food like that is.
00:38:07.000
So I went into that animal place in Hollywood and I went and got brain.
00:38:33.000
It was basically cotton candy with fogwa in it.
00:38:47.000
That's a place where they're dedicated to a certain style of cooking meat.
00:38:55.000
I remember we ordered it and they were like, whoa, is this it?
00:38:58.000
That place, they're dedicated to cooking meat over wood coals.
00:39:05.000
See if you can get a photo of the grill at that place.
00:39:12.000
And then the wood burns down to these coals, and they scrape the coals down, and then they lower the grill.
00:39:30.000
So it's logs, and they're cooking the food right over the wood, and there's a flavor that gives...
00:39:36.000
That's why those Traeger grills are so good, because it's really just wood and fire.
00:39:41.000
But these guys do it like the super old-school-y way with logs.
00:40:11.000
Those are what operate the height of the grill.
00:40:14.000
So they decide, like, oh, this fire is hot as fuck.
00:40:26.000
There's something about when people do it with real wood, right?
00:40:29.000
Like if you go to a barbecue place, you see them using the barbecue pits and throwing the logs in there and checking it and tending it.
00:40:39.000
I used to do that in the Boy Scouts back in the day.
00:40:43.000
Like cooking a brisket, if you do it right, I bet that takes like fucking eight hours or some shit.
00:41:01.000
So this is what it is for a home or restaurant.
00:41:07.000
The wood's big and it's beautiful so it probably costs a lot of money.
00:41:29.000
There's something about sitting in front of a fire.
00:41:31.000
I bet it was hard to get a fire for so long that that shit's burned into our DNA. It's like catching a fish.
00:41:40.000
So when you catch a fish, your body's like, oh, we got one.
00:41:45.000
You would not be excited if you caught like a duck with a hook.
00:41:50.000
You're like, shit, I got this duck all fucked up.
00:41:57.000
Because it was probably really fucking hard to do.
00:41:59.000
So, like, it's probably really fucking hard to have a campfire.
00:42:02.000
So when you're camping, it's not just the campfire feels good.
00:42:05.000
It, like, fires up some old, like, ancient DNA memory.
00:42:15.000
Like, being out there alone, with the sky above you, nothing but stars and trees and shit, and you've got a fire in front of you, like, oh.
00:42:24.000
And then you know you're just going to lay down in a little cloth house in the wilderness.
00:42:29.000
The only thing that saves you is like maybe you have a weapon or maybe you have your friends will beat the bear off of you.
00:42:34.000
They decide to just like use your fucking tent as a sushi wrap for your body, you know?
00:42:41.000
Like people have been attacked in tents before.
00:42:44.000
One of Steve Rinella's friends had a hunting trip where this guy was his first time, not that guy, but the guy's friend, was his first time hunting.
00:42:53.000
And in the sleeping bag, I think it was his first night, he got attacked by a 500-pound predatory black bear.
00:43:00.000
And they shot the bear, and apparently the bullet hit the dude in the wrist, so it broke the guy's wrist.
00:43:05.000
So they shot the bear and eventually shot it and killed it.
00:43:09.000
But, like, his friend shot the bear and the bullet hit him.
00:43:16.000
I mean, but, you know, if you've got a bear mauling you and you've got your arms raised and your buddy shoots it and it hits you, like...
00:43:25.000
The bear's literally trying to eat you while you're in your bed.
00:43:29.000
Go to sleep in this cloth fucking fake house in the middle of the wilderness.
00:43:49.000
Remember wolves we've talked about were an issue in a couple wars, but were bears?
00:43:54.000
Did they have to stop fighting because bears were fucking people up?
00:44:00.000
See, the things that makes wolves so dangerous is they act in packs.
00:44:04.000
And so during World War I, when the Russians and the Germans literally did have a ceasefire, now the Meat Eater website actually went and researched this, because I've said it so many times irresponsibly.
00:44:16.000
But I was told it by a legitimate historian, I believe.
00:44:28.000
They really did have a ceasefire because the troops were getting torn apart by wolves.
00:44:31.000
Because wolves, when they're hungry, man, if you've got to think about it, there's a few hundred guys, and how many bullets can you even fire back then?
00:44:43.000
This has become a favorite bit of bar and banter among amateur historians like the powerful Joe Rogan.
00:44:53.000
Maybe one day I'd like to be an amateur historian guy.
00:44:56.000
So in 1917, a dispatch from Berlin noted large packs of wolves moving into populated areas of the German Empire from the forests of Lithuania and look at that name, Volhynia.
00:45:09.000
Locals hypothesized that war efforts displaced the wolves so the canines started seeking out new hunting grounds.
00:45:15.000
The hungry wolves infiltrated rural villages, attacked calves, sheep, goats, and in two cases children.
00:45:49.000
The Russian and German soldiers temporarily stopped being enemies.
00:45:52.000
Once they found a common foe, both sides agreed to a ceasefire if the wolves interrupted another battle.
00:46:00.000
Poison, rifle, hand grenades, and even machine guns were successfully tried in attempts to eradicate the nuisance, according to a 1917 New York Times article.
00:46:13.000
The wolves, nowhere to be found quite so large and powerful as in Russia, were desperate in their hunger and...
00:46:20.000
And regardless of danger, as a last resort, two adversaries with the consent of their commanders entered into negotiations for an armistice and joined forces to overcome the wolf plague.
00:46:40.000
We need aliens invading us so we come together like in a Tom Cruise movie.
00:46:52.000
I like people, even Russians that we're at war with or Germans that we're at war with, if you're on the other side.
00:47:00.000
What if we have an alien invasion like every week and we just don't know about it?
00:47:12.000
Like, this thing, it's almost like, if one day, right, Elon Musk is terrified about artificial intelligence.
00:47:24.000
You know, I think a lot of scientists are concerned about the one day, what happens if one day you get a sentient, you know, meaning something that can think for itself...
00:47:38.000
Artificial thing that decides it wants to take over the world and it wants to build other artificial things like I Don't know how you would get those instincts I guess you would have to program it into it or would it develop them eventually when it realizes like if you give it give it a certain amount of I think?
00:48:10.000
Because these silly fucking apes with their nuclear weapons, these people are crazy and they made me.
00:48:20.000
They don't know how to make a better version of me.
00:48:26.000
And it would also develop all the instincts that all the other animals have, all the other life forms that we're aware of when they have to survive.
00:48:34.000
Why do you think walruses have that big-ass tusk?
00:48:44.000
They don't have to kill anything with their mouth.
00:48:45.000
All that shit is to keep other gorillas from fucking their girl.
00:49:01.000
Artificial just needs an operating system so that it can grow.
00:49:04.000
Once it has a formula, that's when it's going to start cloning itself and it's going to start making an army.
00:49:10.000
Like that dog that Elon had, that was chasing Daniel Rawlings' dog around in the hallways of the hotel.
00:49:23.000
You give that dog an operating system, it learns how to make itself, you know, and start fucking attacking anything that tries to stop it.
00:49:29.000
But you saw that episode of Black Mirror, right?
00:49:32.000
Heavy Metal, where there's this drone, spoiler alert, that's chasing this lady.
00:49:45.000
I love it every time I watch it, but it's one of those things where I've never watched that many of them.
00:49:53.000
We talked about that a long time ago, about Facebook likes and up-down likes, and then they made, that's pretty much the whole episode about that.
00:50:04.000
That thing was so crazy and so scary and so realistic.
00:50:12.000
I think what we're talking about with this the virus being leaked from a lab I'm sure no one wanted to kill two million people I'm sure it was an accident right if it did get leaked from lab but that would be the same thing if an artificial intelligence robot war machine got leaked from a lab and just took over a factory and started building versions of itself far superior and then made an army and We're good to go.
00:50:55.000
This is how much death and destruction, in terms of environment, that human beings are responsible for.
00:50:59.000
And the only sensible, logical thing, since you're going to die anyway, is to kill off a giant number of you right now, because we need to lower their numbers.
00:51:08.000
And then all of a sudden the government sends you applications in the mail.
00:51:11.000
You get to recommend what person of your family dies.
00:51:15.000
So you have to sit around, and you have to decide.
00:51:21.000
Because if it's me, who's going to protect you?
00:51:24.000
Because if it's you, then who's going to be the mom?
00:51:33.000
That is what happens when things get away from people.
00:51:39.000
I know it sounds crazy, but didn't coronavirus sound crazy before it hit us?
00:51:43.000
We lived our whole lives without a real pandemic.
00:51:45.000
The one that, like, really affected civilization this way and shut everything down for, like, now we're going on, what, 10 months?
00:51:54.000
Dude, if they had an artificial intelligence, like, the Terminator movie, that shit could be real.
00:52:01.000
Absolutely, and I think it's sooner than later.
00:52:03.000
Like, I almost feel like we'll see the beginning of it when we get super old, you know?
00:52:10.000
Think of the things that we fight about, things that we think are important.
00:52:14.000
Think of how gullible Some of the supporters of various politicians have been.
00:52:23.000
To know that those people are amongst us and they vote just like you do.
00:52:27.000
Their vote counts the same way that yours does.
00:52:29.000
Their opinions count the same way that your opinions count.
00:52:38.000
And there's so many people that are not empathetic.
00:52:41.000
So many people that think that if you're on the other side, whether you're on the red side or the blue side, fuck them.
00:52:46.000
You know, these are baby-eating pedophiles and these are QAnon-believing racists and...
00:52:57.000
I think when you get most people together in real life, they're not that divided.
00:53:07.000
Which shows, like, the bullying of the internet.
00:53:09.000
Like, when someone jumps on a case and other people are like, ah!
00:53:15.000
It's not much different than crowds mauling cops.
00:53:18.000
That guy would never maul that cop in real life.
00:53:24.000
But when there's thousands of people behind you screaming, you'll fucking do it.
00:53:33.000
And we could be divided in the easiest of ways.
00:53:39.000
There's a lot of enemies we have to be concerned with.
00:53:41.000
We have to be concerned with people that are trying to infiltrate our power grid and shut us down and fuck up the internet.
00:53:50.000
We gotta be worried about cyber attacks and physical attacks and terrorist attacks.
00:53:57.000
But we also got to be worried about attacks on each other.
00:54:00.000
We got to be worried about that maybe even more than anything else.
00:54:04.000
Because that could really be our undoing because it'll leave us weak and vulnerable.
00:54:08.000
This attacking each other and this lack of a person that could bring people together.
00:54:14.000
Like one person who could just, just so you can hear it.
00:54:23.000
It's not supposed to be your version of America and my version of America.
00:54:31.000
Oh, he likes to do this and she likes to do that.
00:54:42.000
The real problems that we have, one of the real problems they have, we need fucking problems.
00:54:59.000
Where you can look at that and go, what is that instinct?
00:55:04.000
Because it used to be really important to be in conflict.
00:55:18.000
We literally had to fight with sticks to see who gets to fuck.
00:55:24.000
All that fucking old, weird DNA is still in our system.
00:55:30.000
Because you were saying how it's weird how the old stuff is coming back with those grills.
00:55:43.000
I had like a little suede sack with the drawstring.
00:55:49.000
My grandfather made that thing where it was like you drop a marble on the top and go...
00:56:04.000
That's one of those, how the fuck did I like this?
00:56:08.000
Like when people say that we need more diversity in film, we need more women films and this.
00:56:20.000
And if you're a woman and you can't get roles, I get it.
00:56:23.000
However, but for final product, final product, People are more than willing to take a female hero.
00:56:34.000
Nobody gave a shit that it was a woman that was the hero in the end of that movie because that movie was fucking lit, right?
00:56:42.000
You never thought, wow, there was a woman, a powerful woman figure in that movie.
00:56:47.000
Maybe you would if you were a woman and you were looking for a powerful woman figure.
00:56:50.000
But it was never forced down your throat, you know?
00:56:53.000
It was never like Carrie Fisher being the emperor in Star Wars.
00:56:58.000
And her and Laura Dern are like, we're the best and we're the generals.
00:57:04.000
The alien, when you see Sigourney Weaver at the end, you bitch, get away from her!
00:57:12.000
When she's in the machine in Aliens 2, the second one.
00:57:18.000
Where he gets all milky, that guy gets cut in half.
00:57:26.000
Isn't it funny what they thought computers were going to look like back then?
00:57:33.000
Nobody had figured out a graphic user interface yet, you know?
00:57:42.000
Isn't it funny, like, what people thought computers were going to be?
00:57:46.000
Because you never thought it was going to be, like, a brand new smartphone.
00:57:52.000
Where you'll have all these graphic things you're moving across.
00:57:59.000
And the cooler the shit is, the more addictive it is.
00:58:02.000
Like, you know they have that Samsung phone that's out now?
00:58:13.000
And it's brighter than any screen that's ever existed.
00:58:16.000
It's like the brightest smartphone screen ever.
00:58:20.000
And you look and you're like, these motherfuckers are just drawing you in.
00:58:24.000
Yeah, but I think once you go Fold, you won't go back.
00:58:34.000
But you keep an iPhone 2. Yeah, I keep an iPhone from A1. Isn't that interesting?
00:58:43.000
I want to see a full screen YouTube video right now.
00:58:47.000
Like having a second phone that is just a media device.
00:58:51.000
Have you seen that new folding technology that came out that instead of having it fold out, it rolls out and just makes the phone bigger that they just showed on E3 a couple weeks ago.
00:59:01.000
That looks like someone's going to break it real quick.
00:59:07.000
It's going to bend in your hand like it's made out of toilet paper.
00:59:24.000
No, it's cool because it expands with the phone.
00:59:35.000
If you put protection around, it's like anything else.
00:59:40.000
Supposedly that might not even come out, though.
00:59:42.000
They showed the video and it says there's a bunch of things that might not come out now.
00:59:47.000
Oh, I heard LG's getting out of the phone game.
00:59:53.000
Most screens you buy nowadays is made by LG. It's just re-branded.
01:00:03.000
But the LG company, I think, is going to stop making phones.
01:00:09.000
Like they made that one phone that flips sideways.
01:00:10.000
You know that one that turns into a T? Yeah, the flipper.
01:00:17.000
When do I need a phone to turn into a fucking T? Yeah, but it's the Samsung wing.
01:00:32.000
Yeah, but at least LG is thinking outside the box a little.
01:00:48.000
Yeah, I fucking got an iPhone 11. Because the iPhone 12, I bought it, and then I brought it to Verizon.
01:00:55.000
In the morning, I wake up, and it just doesn't work anymore.
01:01:00.000
So I contact Verizon, like, yeah, sometimes that happens with the new 12s.
01:01:06.000
Like, if you buy them from Verizon, they work every time, but if you buy it unlocked from the Apple store and then you try to apply it to the Verizon network.
01:01:14.000
I was in the store for an hour and a half, and then I was on the phone for an hour, and I said, listen, turn the old phone back on.
01:01:20.000
I'm going to give you the numbers for the old phone.
01:01:23.000
I have my fucking 12. Dude, I could have fixed it for you.
01:01:30.000
Also, you should not be on Verizon Network anymore.
01:01:44.000
I'm not going to call you out on this, but I know you talked to that CEO. He's not even the CEO anymore.
01:02:03.000
T-Mobile, no offense, seems like a mall company.
01:02:15.000
They were really huge in Germany, I think it was.
01:02:27.000
But you know, the cool thing about them is that when they came here, they were considered shitty because they were building the LTE network in the next thing.
01:02:33.000
And so once that came out, they were way ahead of Verizon and everybody else.
01:02:54.000
Remember the camera sucked and we always went the Motorola E18 route?
01:03:05.000
It takes you four presses to get an R. I'm like, call me, bitch.
01:03:08.000
People don't know that back then you had a text from your phone with the numbers, and you would have to press the R. It was four presses to get an R. You'd have to go through all the other letters.
01:03:22.000
And then some people try to convince you, no, I just used this T9 predictive text.
01:03:30.000
And then they came out with ones that had typewriters.
01:03:42.000
Wasn't the T-Mobile sidekick the first time that people got busted with dick pics?
01:03:52.000
The first time you could take a picture with your phone, I'm sure someone did that.
01:04:09.000
Did someone put their phone in to get it fixed and people took the pictures off?
01:04:27.000
I remember because I was thinking there was some other stuff with her, right?
01:04:33.000
But it's hard to say what was real and what was staged.
01:04:37.000
Because there was a time, it didn't last that long, but where famous girls were giving up cooter shots getting out of limos.
01:04:45.000
And it was so obvious that for the camera to be in the position that it was to take that photo, that these ladies must have been aware.
01:04:54.000
And so there was a thing where girls were stepping out of limos with skirts on and showing their pussy.
01:05:10.000
Yeah, that's one of those things you realize, wait, who was the cameraman?
01:05:14.000
That used to be a thing that no one thought about.
01:05:17.000
Sidekick disaster shows data's not safe in the cloud.
01:05:23.000
I didn't even know they had a cloud back in 2008. Oh, that's right.
01:05:41.000
There's a lot of things that I'm upset with when it comes to the Apple system.
01:05:50.000
People send me a text and it comes in green, but if you send an iMessage, it's blue.
01:05:55.000
Well, you just got to start hanging out with blues more, man.
01:05:58.000
The thing is, though, on the other hand, it's encrypted.
01:06:07.000
They've taken legitimate steps to not just protect your data.
01:06:13.000
When you use the Maps app, they don't give your fucking data away.
01:06:23.000
This new move that they're doing where you can opt out of websites getting your information, right?
01:06:37.000
There's a few different things you can opt out of, though, right?
01:06:40.000
Yeah, I was actually, just last night, someone posted something about off, it's called like off Facebook data or something like that.
01:06:50.000
I don't know how long they've been able to do this, but you can go into your Facebook settings and see what advertisers see of you and if you want to change that.
01:07:01.000
There was something that said like future off Facebook data.
01:07:06.000
I don't know if this is exactly what it sounded like.
01:07:08.000
It's tracking the data of your future computer browsing to give you ads in the future off of...
01:07:17.000
That's why the new Safari filters everything you go through the Safari and people are pissed off about it like Facebook.
01:07:24.000
Because they're not giving them that data anymore.
01:07:27.000
They're going to lose tons of money because of this.
01:07:29.000
They've been doing something they should have never been allowed to do and they've gotten addicted to it.
01:07:35.000
I guess there's just a vague, like, hey, I am using a service.
01:07:42.000
But when you see how much they're making off of it and how you're not making any money, you realize, like, this is not a good deal.
01:07:49.000
When you think of how much money Google has made by figuring out the search engine, by figuring out email and integrating email into the search, you go looking for things and email knows what you've been looking at.
01:08:02.000
I know you've been thinking about one of them scooters.
01:08:11.000
It shouldn't be sending you ads for shit you just bought, too.
01:08:14.000
After you bought it, I don't know how it should know, but it should know you already bought the thing.
01:08:18.000
Listen to Jamie, ready to give up more ass to Big Brother.
01:08:25.000
Just to go on the other side, haven't you bought anything in an ad that was kind of a good thing?
01:08:35.000
Secret, if you ever see an ad on any of that shit, you just copy the name of it and you put it into Amazon, get it cheaper and through Amazon with faster shipping.
01:08:47.000
I went to use some Instagram ad, got me the other day.
01:08:53.000
I've also had a lot of Instagram shit never ship also.
01:08:56.000
Like it was just fake ass businesses and stuff.
01:09:02.000
Some businesses, especially new ones, you never heard of before?
01:09:06.000
It can't be, like, a very big scam, but I've heard of it happening where someone would buy something, probably on eBay, I think, is where it would be most likely happening.
01:09:16.000
Instead of getting the bag of coffee, they'll get 15 bags of coffee.
01:09:26.000
Instead of sending it back, the people are just like, meh, just keep it.
01:09:31.000
There's like some weird, something they're doing, like finagling money.
01:09:36.000
And when you give them a chance, like COVID, everybody's locked up, thinking about different ways to rip people off.
01:10:15.000
I was going to get guns in LA, but there's so many lines, and then everything I wanted, it was like, because I wanted a Glock 19, I think it's called.
01:10:31.000
Yeah, especially since I've already had, thank God for video cameras and security systems and stuff, but I've already had people, the worst pet peeve I've ever had is people coming up to your door, even though it says, no soliciting, all over your fucking shit.
01:10:44.000
They don't even ring the doorbell because they know that starts the recording, or they think.
01:10:48.000
So they knock on the door, and I fucking yelled at people the other day.
01:10:56.000
And I'm like, well, get the fuck, you know, I got mad.
01:11:05.000
It's a weird way to make a living, too, because, like, you could be a serial killer or sell an Amway.
01:11:18.000
I don't know about how big, I guess, but it sounds like it was.
01:11:20.000
I told this story before when I was a kid and I worked for a private investigator, Dynamite Dickless Dave Dolan.
01:11:26.000
We would go door-to-door and we'd trick people.
01:11:37.000
And she was working again under her maiden name.
01:11:44.000
He works for a private investigating firm, and they send him out at the behest of the insurance company.
01:12:03.000
We're just here to rob you of what you've robbed from the insurance company.
01:12:10.000
But please don't let anybody in your house like this.
01:12:22.000
So Dave would make a series of license plates numbers that were similar to that number, but off by a little bit, like one digit here or there.
01:12:31.000
And then what he would do, he would knock on the door and say, I'm really sorry to bother you, but my girlfriend was involved in a car accident.
01:13:03.000
And she's like, oh my goodness, no, it's not me.
01:13:08.000
She injured her L5, L6. Oh my goodness, that's my injury.
01:13:21.000
She's like, oh yeah, not only am I collecting, but I'm working under my maiden name.
01:13:36.000
I felt so bad for her because Dave just set up a trap.
01:13:40.000
Like, oh, let me lay this spider web down on the wall.
01:13:49.000
And she says, no, it wasn't really bad, but I said it was.
01:13:53.000
You know, now I'm working under my maiden name.
01:14:28.000
I've talked about that guy on the podcast before.
01:14:30.000
He's literally, other than Diaz, the funniest person I've ever met in my life.
01:14:39.000
It's all a shitty, blurry cell phone picture that one of our friends took.
01:14:44.000
He came to see me and I was at Laugh Boston like a few years back.
01:14:50.000
I want to say like four years back or so, right?
01:14:54.000
I didn't find out he died until after it was over.
01:14:57.000
He's friends with one of the guys who fights in the UFC, Matt the Steamroller Frivola.
01:15:02.000
And I heard about the Steamroller from Dave Dolan back in the day before Matt was even in the UFC. But I knew that he was, hey, this fucking tough kid.
01:15:11.000
This tough kid's gonna be fighting the UFC, bro.
01:15:30.000
I worked for him because I was a private investigator's assistant.
01:15:34.000
He took an ad out in the newspaper, so I went to Help Wanted.
01:15:37.000
But it really wasn't a private investigator's assistant.
01:15:39.000
It was someone to drive him because he lost his license in a DUI. He got into a fucking chase with the police and crashed his car in a tunnel and ran away from it.
01:15:56.000
I mean, I met him in 88. Because I remember I had just started doing stand-up comedy.
01:16:07.000
And he saw my last fight where I got knocked out.
01:16:10.000
I didn't even get knocked unconscious, but I got TKO'd.
01:16:15.000
My legs were like complete rubber, and this dude hit me with an uppercut, and I went down again, and the referee stopped the fight.
01:16:21.000
I never lost consciousness, but I was definitely fucked.
01:16:27.000
And he saw my first two fights, and I destroyed the first guy, knocked the first guy unconscious.
01:16:31.000
And then the second guy beat the shit out of him.
01:16:33.000
And so he thought I was going to win the whole thing.
01:16:38.000
This dude just caught me clean, hit me with a perfect left hook.
01:16:46.000
Well, the weirdest feeling I think I ever remember from fighting because it didn't hurt.
01:16:50.000
It was like he hit a button and my legs just stopped working.
01:16:53.000
You don't feel pain in fights for the most part unless you get hit in nerves like you feel it in the liver.
01:17:01.000
You feel it in your nerves and your legs like what happened to Connor this weekend.
01:17:04.000
If you get your legs kicked, you feel it there.
01:17:07.000
But a lot of times you don't feel punches and stuff.
01:17:09.000
It's just like you're so flooded with adrenaline.
01:17:12.000
Yeah, last time I got punched, I didn't feel it.
01:17:19.000
No, this was at the comedy store like two years ago.
01:17:32.000
But when it happened, I mean, he hit me pretty hard, but when it happened, I was like...
01:17:39.000
You had the funniest reaction to someone punching you.
01:17:41.000
You came back to tell us, you're like, he punched me.
01:17:52.000
You had like the most logical response to someone punching you.
01:18:02.000
You know, the problem with the Comedy Store at one point in time, there's a lot of problems with it, but this is, most of them are good.
01:18:08.000
Most of what the Comedy Store was was amazing, but one of the things that happened was it became a scene.
01:18:13.000
I remember reading about that in the Kinnison days.
01:18:15.000
They'd be like, oh, the famous people came to see Kinnison.
01:18:22.000
Like, fucking Slash from Guns N' Roses used to come see Sam Kinnison.
01:18:35.000
But then when it started happening to the store...
01:18:38.000
I realize, like, oh, this carries with it a lot of liability.
01:18:44.000
And one of the things that happens is people know that it's a scene.
01:18:46.000
And then when they know it's a scene, they become, like, super interested in being there for the scene.
01:18:51.000
And so you'd meet guys who'd pretend they knew you and they didn't know you.
01:19:02.000
And you're like, oh, my God, I've never partied with Tim.
01:19:12.000
This guy got into the green room when I got off stage.
01:19:15.000
Everyone's like, who's that old man that's in the green room that says he knows you?
01:19:33.000
I think drug abuse has probably pushed that number up higher.
01:19:36.000
I think what drug abuse does, and I talked to Dr. Carl Hart, and you could catch his book, Drug Use for Grown Ups, Chasing Liberty in the Land of Fear.
01:19:48.000
It's an excellent book, and he's an excellent person.
01:19:51.000
But his take on it is, it exposes schizophrenia, which makes more sense, because how come pot doesn't turn you into schizophrenic?
01:20:00.000
Well, I've heard it always sped up if you had it coming.
01:20:12.000
It's a deterioration of the brain that was going to happen eventually, and it speeds it up.
01:20:22.000
Like some people, they give you the right medication and it goes away.
01:20:34.000
I mean, they kind of know what the effects are, right?
01:20:39.000
But you can't do a blood test and say, oh, Mike, you got schizophrenia.
01:20:50.000
I think they're monitoring your patterns, your behavior.
01:20:57.000
Because we both know people that have gone crazy from...
01:21:04.000
One of my best friends growing up, he used to be the guy that took like 12 hits of acid a day.
01:21:13.000
Don't you think that's a different world, though?
01:21:16.000
The guys who do acid a lot, that's such a clear effect.
01:21:23.000
There's some fucking stress that happens to your system when you're doing hardcore psychedelics where you're going through re-entry and the fucking tiles are flying off the vehicle.
01:21:36.000
And you don't always come out of that the same that you went in.
01:21:48.000
I have very little experience with acid, but I can't imagine taking ten.
01:21:56.000
That's like a really interesting elevated feeling.
01:22:00.000
How do I say this without getting anybody in trouble?
01:22:04.000
I have a friend who was micro dosing mushrooms every day.
01:22:14.000
And he has had issues with substances in the past.
01:22:18.000
But with this, he goes, it just keeps, and I'm not saying this with his accent on purpose, it keeps me at a level state where I feel great all the time, but I'm not high.
01:22:37.000
My girlfriend used to do it all the time, and she said it just kind of always makes you feel happier.
01:22:41.000
But then they locked his dealer in a fucking cage.
01:22:45.000
That's the wackest thing to lock somebody up for, mushrooms.
01:22:49.000
Well, it's already becoming legal in some states.
01:22:55.000
Oregon, listen, you fucked up Portland with Antifa and all that jazz, but you've done a great job with your use of...
01:23:13.000
I want to know if it was an accidental adrenaline or if it was slip of the pedal or if it was on purpose.
01:23:22.000
It's hard to tell, but if I was a cop, I'd be terrified right now.
01:23:27.000
But if you're a cop and there's only one of you or two of you and then these mobs of people ascend upon your car and you try to drive off, you're probably terrified.
01:23:38.000
How many cops are worried about literally being beaten to death by a mob today?
01:23:43.000
If you're the only guys there and people are...
01:23:47.000
I saw a horrible clip, but I don't know what the scene was before that.
01:23:54.000
And there's a lot of people that are like, fuck the police, defund the police.
01:23:57.000
They don't look at the police the same way they looked at them before.
01:23:59.000
And there's a lot of cops that are probably, for good reason, really scared.
01:24:04.000
I heard they're starting to wear fireman outfits just so that they don't get beat up.
01:24:12.000
Can you imagine a cop just carrying around a fireman hat and a coat?
01:24:21.000
You remember in movies when there was an undercover cop, the undercover cop always had its say they were an undercover cop?
01:24:35.000
I wonder if the cops are responsible for that and paid off media to say that kind of shit so that we all believed it.
01:24:41.000
I think it was probably just a thing that they did to move a plot along on a stupid television show, right?
01:24:50.000
What's that guy that pulls out the sheet of paper out of the typewriter and he flies up?
01:25:05.000
They just decide they're going to put some stupid things in a movie like that and they don't worry about whether or not people are going to believe it's true.
01:25:15.000
Because I almost feel like this show cops, like when they were the fake prostitutes.
01:25:19.000
Cops are allowed to fuck prostitutes for information.
01:25:24.000
Like in Hawaii, they had to actually change the law because cops were banging so many prostitutes.
01:25:32.000
Google cops allowed to fuck prostitutes in Honolulu.
01:25:36.000
I think within the last four or five years, they made it illegal.
01:25:38.000
But forever, cops are like, hey, I gotta do what I gotta do.
01:25:45.000
Get some guy who just likes banging hookers and he's like, I want to work vice in Honolulu.
01:25:55.000
You could literally be a cop who bangs hookers and it's part of your job.
01:26:01.000
Yeah, 2014 it became a law that couldn't do it anymore.
01:26:05.000
So they were fighting for that and they're fucking, hey, this is really important in negotiations.
01:26:15.000
I wonder if there's something you could put in the notes and have a secret code come on inside.
01:26:20.000
Why would you actually fuck a guy today when you just show your asshole on OnlyFans?
01:26:26.000
They said that prostitutes would do a thing they would call a cop check to see potential Johns by forcing themselves on the officers sexually.
01:26:34.000
And the expecting cops would not be able to go through at the encounter.
01:26:41.000
A lot of times I'm talking to one of my suspects, and they think I'm a cop, so I gotta let them suck my dick.
01:27:05.000
And, you know, female agents have done that too.
01:27:22.000
Female agents have actually had to fuck guys that they were trying to get arrested or get them kidnapped or get them killed.
01:27:29.000
I bet it still happens, but no one talks about it.
01:27:31.000
Dude, if you're like some deep, deep undercover agent, Out there, saving democracy in Azerbaijan or somewhere.
01:27:46.000
Do you think that they are known like TikTokers now, like models or IG girls?
01:27:53.000
No, I bet it's way harder to get super spies in the age of social media.
01:27:57.000
Because, again, they can just show their asshole on OnlyFans and they make so much money.
01:28:14.000
You know, the secret to OnlyFans, though, is that they own everything you upload.
01:28:20.000
So all these people, they're just selling their content for $10 a month.
01:28:28.000
Here's what's interesting about porn and online, this kind of stuff, all these different things.
01:28:36.000
But if you show people you naked, other people will get so mad.
01:28:48.000
But we decide, oh, she's showing her asshole on OnlyFans.
01:28:54.000
But then your friends are like, well, what's the address?
01:29:01.000
Am I going to notice whether or not I have $5 or not?
01:29:05.000
No, but am I going to notice whether or not I've seen her asshole?
01:29:13.000
Because everybody wants to have sex, but nobody wants people to watch you have sex.
01:29:17.000
And they'll go, ooh, look at you, you like dick.
01:29:20.000
Uh, what are you doing, eating pussy, you fucking weirdo?
01:29:26.000
Well, I think it's mostly because people get jealous, you know, like couples.
01:29:33.000
If men find out a woman has done porn, they're like, ugh, she's tainted, right?
01:29:40.000
That'll probably change, though, as the kids now get older.
01:29:44.000
Yeah, like all these kids have had a phone in their hand their entire life, and they're just like...
01:29:49.000
Imagine if that was you when you were 15, if you had the cloud, and you probably let people borrow your phone, and meanwhile...
01:29:58.000
I used to, like, back in the day when live streaming first happened, like when webcams first were made, they had, I forget what it was called, a vcam or something like that, but you could do live stream all day long.
01:30:13.000
A camera was always on somewhere, like in my bedroom or whatever.
01:30:20.000
It was like, oh, you could stream all day long?
01:30:29.000
Remember Justin TV? I do, but I mean the movie.
01:30:36.000
So he had became, he was like a regular guy, that became like a superstar.
01:30:40.000
I mean, it's funny because remember watching that movie?
01:30:46.000
My daughter, my 10-year-old, loves Sniper Wolf.
01:30:53.000
She's this chick that's on YouTube who makes fun of shit.
01:30:59.000
She used to watch this other chick play video games, and the girl was very pretty, and maybe what she's saying speaks to a nine-year-old.
01:31:09.000
But for me, it was so annoying, because she was always watching this.
01:31:15.000
And so she has this new one, this sniper wolf chick.
01:31:25.000
And it's her, this sniper wolf chick, reacting to this little kid that's at one of those child beauty pageant things.
01:31:39.000
My 10-year-old, it was like she was watching Richard Pryor perform.
01:31:42.000
She was on the ground, holding her stomach, laughing her ass off.
01:31:52.000
But she's like this hot chick that does like reaction videos, but she's actually funny.
01:32:12.000
Dude, I'm telling you, when you watch her, she's fucking entertaining.
01:32:16.000
She is way more entertaining than any E! show that's ever existed.
01:32:21.000
And it doesn't seem like she would be, but she's funny.
01:32:31.000
If she wanted to be a stand-up, she could do stand-up, for sure.
01:32:39.000
Like the fucking video game lady that my daughter always watches.
01:32:54.000
They've figured out a new art form, watching shit and reacting to it in a funny way.
01:33:16.000
That one makes me clutch my pearls just thinking about it.
01:34:15.000
Oh yeah, we're Facebook friends, which is so mind-blowing to me.
01:34:22.000
You know, he's just like, this is the mother...
01:34:27.000
I used to follow Style, and then he used to post about you, and I started going to your website.
01:34:35.000
And then, like, you know, that was back when I was writing blogs all the time, like funny blogs.
01:34:42.000
And, you know, I would always tell people about his blogs.
01:34:49.000
Like, when you don't know, I have no idea what he looks like, I don't know what his voice sounds like, I don't know anything.
01:34:54.000
But when you're reading someone's words, like there's people and their words, and those words sort of, they become a thing, like a feeling that you get when you read someone's website.
01:35:05.000
Like, you don't necessarily even need to know too much about them.
01:35:10.000
There was a lady that got into a lot of trouble post 9-11.
01:35:15.000
And her website was, and I became email friends with her too.
01:35:21.000
I probably became friends with her in like 99 or 2000. The misanthropic bitch.
01:35:31.000
She had a hot take on 9-11 and it did not go over well.
01:35:38.000
And I remember her responding to the blowback and commenting about the blowback.
01:35:42.000
But I don't know how long after that she stopped...
01:35:47.000
She changed it to a different name or something.
01:35:50.000
I don't remember, but I remember she's a really good writer.
01:35:54.000
She was clever with words, and I think she tried to get a little too clever with 9-11, right after it happened.
01:36:01.000
It was one of those hot takes, like, we deserve this, or this is a good thing, or fuck everybody.
01:36:07.000
It was one of those things where it's like, I get what you're trying to say.
01:36:13.000
You know, it's the thing when you rush to say something, and I've done it before.
01:36:18.000
You rush to say something because you think, ooh, there's an opportunity to get a point on the board.
01:36:26.000
But you fuck up and you say something you don't even really mean.
01:36:35.000
9-11 was just like the most atrocious moment in our lives.
01:36:54.000
Getting old is weird because I think about, wait a sec, what happened in my 30s?
01:37:00.000
I feel like I've been in my 40s for a long time.
01:37:03.000
I kind of get real suspicious when people pretend to remember things exactly.
01:37:11.000
Do you remember the version of it that you kept telling everybody?
01:37:19.000
That's just brain short and shit down to get rid of space.
01:37:24.000
I will fully admit that most of my stories about...
01:37:27.000
Even my friend Dave Dolan, that story that I told earlier, I have talking points in my head where I remember how I used to say it.
01:37:40.000
That moment when that lady invited us in for coffee and told us about her insurance scam.
01:37:47.000
I have like one or two images that are so blurry.
01:37:52.000
I couldn't even prove in a court that that's really that lady's kitchen.
01:38:09.000
I don't remember if we walked through a courtyard.
01:38:18.000
I remember she was a reasonably attractive woman who was like a housewife who appeared to be in her 30s.
01:38:35.000
But I tell that story like I remember every detail because it's more entertaining that way.
01:38:40.000
But if you want to corner me and say, hey, what do you really remember?
01:38:49.000
That's how I feel about that old lady at the strip club that I made out.
01:38:59.000
Yeah, I had to tell that story the other day, and I'm like, I think she worked there.
01:39:05.000
She just grabbed you and started making out with you.
01:39:07.000
Then you realize that it was this old lady, and you're like, what?
01:39:10.000
I thought it was the stripper that was just there before.
01:39:13.000
That lady, like, she found a weak spot and she moved right in.
01:39:16.000
There's a thing like survival skills, you know?
01:39:20.000
Like, there's, you know, like that dude that, like, walks barefoot through the woods and he has, like, these real thick cows.
01:39:28.000
There's like, there's like survival dick skills when women know how to start a fire in the middle of forest.
01:39:33.000
They know that like, oh, that stripper just got up.
01:39:40.000
It makes me wonder if the strippers were all just like betting money.
01:39:44.000
No, that was just the universe teaching you a lesson.
01:39:47.000
I was so pissed off at you because you filmed the whole thing, but you deleted it.
01:39:58.000
Remember, we were ready to leave to get food right away anyway.
01:40:09.000
But she just moved in on you, started kissing you.
01:40:17.000
Actually, my girlfriend, her friend grew up next, like, he was a little bit older, but grew up when she was a kid, you know, younger.
01:40:27.000
He lives out here now and he comes to Kill Tony and he goes, hey, I work as a DJ at the Yellow Rose.
01:40:35.000
Anytime you want to come out, I'm like, the Yellow Rose?
01:40:39.000
How do you think people would feel if one day there was like an ex machina type strip club?
01:40:50.000
You don't have to feel bad about their childhood.
01:40:56.000
You can give them a fake language so no one would know what they're saying.
01:41:14.000
How long is it before that's going to be real where real life is...
01:41:24.000
Why is it so cool that you're doing that in real life?
01:41:39.000
All I have to do is get a PS5. What are you talking about?
01:41:52.000
Why are you spending so much time doing stupid shit?
01:41:58.000
I don't want to Ready Player Two spoil anything, but this is like, it's so good.
01:42:07.000
Dude, there's gonna come a time where we will live in some sort of an artificial realm, and it's gonna be way better than this realm, and we're just gonna accept it.
01:42:16.000
Just the same way, like, people don't use passenger pigeons anymore.
01:42:19.000
Carrier pigeons, those little fucking stupid birds with a message around them.
01:42:23.000
Have you heard about the murder of the carrier pigeon from the United States and they're going to murder it?
01:42:31.000
Somebody put a fake band on this carrier pigeon and reported it like this bird flew 8,000 miles to New Zealand, but it was fake.
01:42:42.000
They're trying to fool me with this pigeon shit.
01:42:44.000
I think when they were trying to kill the pigeon, that's when they stepped in and said it was fake.
01:42:49.000
Because they were going to kill it because of quarantine risk.
01:42:53.000
Like, I'd probably say like eight hours a week at least.
01:43:06.000
New Kim, a Belgian racing bird, set an auction record after a bidding war between two Chinese buyers.
01:43:22.000
It's because they could have sold it for like, I think it said 1.5 million.
01:43:34.000
You know that was brought over to America for food?
01:43:38.000
Did you know that's why there's so many pigeons in New York City?
01:43:47.000
Like, if you go to a fancy menu on a fancy restaurant and you see squab, hmm, would you like the squab, sir?
01:44:06.000
But if you're starving to death, like back then, they would just like have a bunch of them laying around.
01:44:11.000
You could just blow them out of the sky and you'd have food.
01:44:19.000
I've been hunting with guys that try to get pigeons.
01:44:22.000
When I was hunting with Steve Rinell the first time, he saw some pigeons and got out of a shotgun.
01:44:29.000
It's in Montana, in the forest, but it's a delicious bird, apparently, if you cook it correctly.
01:44:35.000
Chicken's better, and you can get that at Wendy's.
01:44:39.000
So they raced these birds, and then recently in China, two guys got caught because they went on a bullet train with the birds to where it was supposed to go, and they got there too fast.
01:44:50.000
I think the bullet train was way faster than the way the pigeons fly.
01:44:54.000
Oh, so then they release the pigeons and try to pretend the pigeons just won?
01:45:11.000
If we had an office-wide bedding pool right here...
01:45:23.000
Are you going to decide what you get to eat before we get to start?
01:45:31.000
In 24 hours, we're going to take shit, so we're going to wham.
01:45:34.000
I thought you were going to say how long we could hold it for.
01:45:36.000
But you have to hold it in as long as you can because between now and 24 hours, you want to preserve your shit.
01:45:49.000
Wouldn't you want to eat a bunch of terrible food so that your body doesn't absorb any of it and you shit on it?
01:45:59.000
Because you could just give something that gives you horrible diarrhea and the weight of water.
01:46:04.000
So what we'd do is you'd do a spaghetti strainer.
01:46:12.000
They'll weigh out what the spaghetti strainer is.
01:46:44.000
You remember there was a lady in San Jose that died?
01:46:48.000
She was trying to win a game station for her son.
01:47:11.000
If you drink too much water, even if you're breathing in fine, your body will shut down.
01:47:17.000
Your electrolyte balance gets totally out of whack.
01:47:20.000
If you force a certain amount of water in your body, everybody dies.
01:47:23.000
Isn't it like drinking too much milk does something similar or something?
01:47:27.000
I guess if you get to the same volume, I mean, I'd imagine it's just liquids, but just water itself will kill you, which is really strange to people.
01:47:37.000
Like, most people are not aware that water will kill you.
01:47:41.000
Like, if you told people, like, how much water is too much?
01:47:54.000
People want you to believe that there's so much more discipline than they are.
01:48:20.000
It's 25 milligrams of CBD. Officer, I was just doing a podcast.
01:48:31.000
My own drink would be grape, but it would be Japanese grape flavor.
01:48:37.000
Japanese grape, Japanese, oh my god, I have the best thing ever.
01:48:42.000
So there's this place called P. Terry's out here.
01:48:50.000
It's a root beer float, and they take bargs, the syrup that they use for root beer, but they mix it with ice cream, so the whole thing is a milkshake, root beer milkshake, and it tastes like a root beer float, the whole thing!
01:49:12.000
Hey, next time you're In-N-Out, try this and tell me if it doesn't help it.
01:49:20.000
Oh, they're about to go out of business, do you hear?
01:49:26.000
They'll put jalapenos on their burgers and bacon.
01:49:53.000
Dude, we went through six versions to try to nail it.
01:50:12.000
How sad would it be if we made a non-my-face-on-it version?
01:50:17.000
Look, you have Illuminati pyramids underneath your eyes.
01:50:32.000
What would you have to do to be in the Illuminati?
01:50:34.000
If the Illuminati called you up and said, hey, Brian, we enjoy Kill Tony.
01:50:39.000
We love you when you're on the JRE. We'd like to let you in.
01:50:53.000
What do you have to do to keep your mouth shut?
01:51:03.000
I think the idea of Illuminati already kind of exists, especially when you get to Scientology and stuff like that.
01:51:14.000
They have their own kind of Illuminati situation.
01:51:16.000
But how much of the Illuminati you think is real?
01:51:24.000
Like, certain conspiracies, you're like, nah, I don't believe that.
01:51:35.000
People claiming to possess special enlightenment or knowledge of something.
01:51:46.000
Some mysterious standard known only to the Illuminati or the organization.
01:51:51.000
A sect of 16th century Spanish heretics who claimed special religious enlightenment.
01:51:58.000
A Bavarian secret society founded in 1776 organized like the Freemasons.
01:52:18.000
Why is it that people have always done things like that?
01:52:22.000
Like created these weird little secret societies?
01:52:24.000
I think it made more sense when they wore powdered wigs and shit, you know?
01:52:45.000
You have to throw powder in them to keep the fleas out.
01:52:53.000
I think the wig powder was actually to keep the fleas out.
01:52:57.000
Like, you know, like Gold Bond, medicated powder and shit.
01:53:02.000
The same thing it would do, it keeps your feet from stinking.
01:53:20.000
I think they wore them because, I mean, the powder.
01:53:25.000
And then the wig size became an indicator of how much money you had.
01:53:30.000
So if you had a lot of money, you would be a big wig.
01:53:43.000
That big wig phrase comes from people wearing powdered wigs and the wealthy people having the biggest, most preposterous powdered wigs.
01:53:54.000
That's why military cuts a thing and lesbians have short hair.
01:54:04.000
If I was in class with you, I bet it would be good.
01:54:43.000
That's that ginger spice almost in the back of your throat.
01:54:51.000
There's some flavors that a lot of people don't respect that are genuine.
01:55:12.000
I feel like that's something though, like in 10 years, I'll go like, you know what?
01:55:26.000
That's why I like hard shell fish more than regular fish, except tuna.
01:55:33.000
But when it comes to like, hey, you want some tilapia?
01:55:50.000
You know, when I was a kid, like, you'd get Mako shark at a restaurant, you felt like a pimp.
01:56:01.000
No, I mean, like, who's trying to protect them, you know?
01:56:05.000
This is like how you could spin a narrative very easily online and just with people in the public sphere.
01:56:33.000
Saying sharks are endangered is like saying bears are endangered.
01:56:39.000
Like, if you live in Manhattan, yeah, not a lot of bears.
01:56:43.000
But if you live in New Jersey, there's a lot of bears.
01:56:47.000
Like, right next to New York City is a shit ton of bears.
01:56:51.000
Dude, there's more bears per capita in New Jersey than any other state in the lower 48. You never hear about the bears.
01:57:05.000
There's dead bodies and trash and mafia stuff going on.
01:57:08.000
And Joey Diaz is now there hanging out with bears?
01:57:21.000
That's because When I moved to Colorado was the same time this guy decided to make a prank where he pretended his kid flew away in a balloon and it was in the news.
01:57:32.000
And so Joey Diaz goes, that's Joe Rowan trying to fly back to LA. So he started calling me balloons.
01:57:43.000
I don't know if he just calls you balloons with me, but every time he calls, he goes, hey, I've talked about balloons.
01:58:04.000
It acts up where you're just like, oh, it's going to happen again.
01:58:12.000
They said it was all fucking shattered and shit, but I don't even remember, man.
01:58:19.000
Oh, Jamie, I sent you that David Goggins thing.
01:58:27.000
David Goggins, we were talking about him on the podcast the other day with The Undertaker from WWE. Oh, yeah.
01:58:35.000
Undertaker's had two hip replacements and we were talking about like how crazy it is they can resurface your hips and it took added ten years to his career and then we started talking about Goggins how David Goggins was getting these gigantic cylinders of shit drained out of his knee and so he sent me his MRI results.
01:58:55.000
This is by the way before He ran the Moab 240. He got second place, I believe.
01:59:07.000
So this is before he ran the Moab 240. Find out if he legitimately got second place, because we need to know.
01:59:17.000
There's a complex tear in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus.
01:59:27.000
Can you make it smaller so I can see the whole thing?
01:59:35.000
There is a tear of the inferior articular surface of the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus.
01:59:44.000
Infosubstance degeneration in the anterior and the posterior horns of the lateral meniscus.
01:59:51.000
There is the osteochondral defect in the medial femoral chond...
02:01:09.000
How about part number two is broken, part number three is fucked, part number three, keep going, there's more.
02:01:14.000
Because people, I don't want people to think his knee is okay.
02:01:19.000
There's 14 different things wrong with his leg.
02:01:26.000
Lobulated cysts surrounding the posterior cruciate ligament.
02:01:31.000
Soft tissue edema in the medial aspect of the knee.
02:02:27.000
He's probably so mad that he came in second and not first with his fucked up name.
02:02:53.000
Isn't it weird how like when guys get like super political as they get old or Bruce Springsteen's definitely not like a real super well not before Trump right he was never really super political like publicly before Trump but it seemed like Trump was enough for him and he just had a you know What's that other guy too that wasn't a musician but an actor like James Caan or he got super James Woods?
02:03:34.000
It's like you have a political candidate that you support.
02:03:37.000
Even if I disagree with you, you're just supporting your guy.
02:03:41.000
But there's a thing that happens, and I don't disagree with Obama, but what I'm saying is there's an attitude that people have when they disagree with someone, when they hate someone.
02:03:57.000
When he said he wanted to punch him, when he did the awards, he was like, fuck Trump.
02:04:12.000
To support someone is one thing, but to say fuck someone is a different thing.
02:04:21.000
It's like, wow, you're inviting the mob to come for you.
02:04:27.000
All those pro-trumpettes, all the little Trumpensteins, all those little trumplers, they all came after him.
02:04:43.000
Well, I think there were some people at the end that really hoped that this QAnon stuff was correct and that Trump was going to swoop in with these overwhelming indictments of all these elites that have been fucking kids in the basement of pizza places.
02:05:00.000
There were some people that really believed that.
02:05:03.000
There's a lot of people that believe that shit, and it's mental illness, man.
02:05:09.000
It's kind of like a comic convention, where they're all dressing up as like...
02:05:18.000
What do you think all those Civil War museum recreator guys are doing nowadays?
02:05:28.000
Dude, I said the same thing the other day, basically.
02:05:49.000
Then something like this happens, though, and then they're like, well, see?
02:05:58.000
33 missing kids recovered in joint Los Angeles-based operation combating human trafficking.
02:06:04.000
It's not, because as long as there really is human trafficking, as long as kids really are being abducted, as long as, like, sex slaves are real, as long as that stuff's real...
02:06:14.000
Like, then they've got a convoluted, fucked up, distorted comic book version of a point.
02:06:21.000
Yeah, but don't you think, like, we all know, like, one of the things that hasn't happened yet, but like, oh yeah, we've known about that for a while, but we've been looking the other way, is that if you go to Tijuana right now, there's so much prostitution and illegal, and you know half those are kids and shit like that.
02:06:38.000
And we're all just acting like we don't know about that.
02:06:41.000
That's true, but we don't feel like we're responsible for shit that doesn't happen inside of our borders.
02:06:45.000
But it's five miles away from San Diego, which is the biggest military base ever.
02:06:50.000
Well, you know, Mariana Van Zeller, who has that show, Trafficked.
02:06:57.000
I had her on the podcast, and one of the things that she talked about was selling guns to Mexico.
02:07:03.000
And she watched, she had this whole expose where this guy, every week, fills his trunk up with guns and just drives down to Mexico because there's no stopping you going in.
02:07:14.000
So he's just bringing guns into Mexico from LA. And I said, well, where is he getting these guns?
02:07:23.000
There's some bad actor in the LA Police Department that supplies this guy with guns.
02:07:29.000
So they take guns from bad guys, they sell it to this guy, and he sells it to the cartel.
02:07:37.000
They just drive down to Mexico because it's easy to get in.
02:07:40.000
Coming back, it's like, you better not have any guns.
02:07:57.000
The episode I watched, the first one, was on cocaine.
02:08:06.000
Then she walks with the people that make the cocaine.
02:08:12.000
She walks with the people that make the cocaine.
02:08:23.000
They're walking around with a quarter of a million dollars worth of coke on their back.
02:08:28.000
And they walk for like 18 hours through the jungle.
02:08:33.000
It's a crazy show because it's one, it's fascinating because she really does show you exactly how the coke is grown, how it's dried.
02:08:44.000
You would think the people growing the coke are like these cartel people, but it's not the case.
02:08:50.000
The coke is grown, the leaves are dried out on the side of the road.
02:08:57.000
So you see families that are laying these coca leaves out on these gigantic blankets and they're drying them out in the sun.
02:09:06.000
And you realize that these people are barely getting by and they're growing coke.
02:09:23.000
That's another thing that Dr. Carl Hart was telling me about cocaine.
02:09:26.000
If you get real cocaine from the source, pure cocaine, like in Colombia, it's amazing.
02:09:35.000
We just have this bullshit stepped-on version of Coke.
02:09:38.000
It's like if you were drinking liquor, but it wasn't like, you know, Austin still, still Austin whiskey.
02:09:45.000
It was like some fucking battery acid shit that's mixed in with antifreeze and, you know, fucking...
02:09:52.000
What is the stuff that Kitty Dukakis got caught drinking?
02:10:01.000
The bums near my house growing up in college, that's what they would drink.
02:10:05.000
They would buy a bottle of rubbing alcohol from the grocery store and get drunk on that.
02:10:09.000
And you always see them carrying the little brown bottle and shit like that.
02:10:17.000
They stuff a tampon into rubbing alcohol and they stick it up their culo.
02:10:34.000
It's like one of those patches that gives you a fucking...
02:10:44.000
They're just hanging out with us all day long, acting like everything's fine.
02:10:47.000
Meanwhile, they're in some 3D version of a UFO. There's little rooms they go into, different versions of reality.
02:10:55.000
I don't remember if I looked this up or not, but there's an article on Healthline.com.
02:11:03.000
And there's reasons why they think it's probably a myth that people don't probably do that.
02:11:11.000
All my chips into kids definitely have stuffed tampons filled with rubbing alcohol up their assholes.
02:11:19.000
Especially since the story came out and you know so many people are like, well, I'm going to try that.
02:11:36.000
How many guys have died from a tampon filled with rubbing alcohol stuffed up their ass?
02:11:41.000
I bet there's an article right here from HuffPost.
02:11:43.000
This is from 2011, though, so there's a lot of time to go.
02:11:49.000
Vodka in a tampon is allegedly the new rage among underage drinkers to get drunk.
02:11:57.000
I couldn't find a single article on Google verifying that it actually worked.
02:12:09.000
I decided that I would have to test the rumor myself.
02:12:12.000
Oh, that bitch stuffed a tampon up her culo or in her vajayjay.
02:12:18.000
If I was a woman, why would I stick it up my ass so I could just put it in my pussy?
02:12:31.000
I'm not ever going to do it, but butt chugging.
02:12:34.000
I like how you said, I'm not ever going to do it.
02:12:41.000
I'm terrified of butt pleasure, so I'm just going to let you know right now, I'm not doing it.
02:12:51.000
It's definitely not the opposite of a beer funnel, because it's going in your asshole.
02:12:55.000
The opposite of a beer funnel would be like a carrot smoothie.
02:13:20.000
But we had a two-floor one where all these people filled beer and you had an adult two-floor house.
02:13:25.000
There's a Vice article about it that someone goes deep and there's Vaseline pictures and shit about butt chugging.
02:14:00.000
They've gone through a lot of different changes.
02:14:05.000
Because if you really stop and think about it, it was...
02:14:12.000
It was just this cool magazine that you'd see in the corner of things.
02:14:15.000
You'd pick it up and be like, oh, look, cool shit in there.
02:14:22.000
Yeah, it was just a free little magazine, I remember.
02:14:24.000
It was one of those things, once people knew about it, it was like, ah, everyone found out about this thing now.
02:14:32.000
I have that channel now, and I didn't know there was a channel.
02:14:38.000
And I watch it, you know, it's very different than, it's almost like, this week on, you know, like.
02:14:53.000
I remember one of them was Shane was in Thailand with a bunch of ladyboys in a hot tub and they were drinking.
02:15:44.000
They just dropped the order so that I think it's up to...
02:16:00.000
Isn't it funny when you live here for a little bit?
02:16:03.000
And you're like, oh, this is how you're supposed to be able to live.
02:16:15.000
Every restaurant's being very safe about everything.
02:16:19.000
Everything's split out how it should be to a normal degree.
02:16:29.000
Well, it could have been done everywhere this way.
02:16:40.000
They should have given people the opportunity and they should have opened up more hospital beds.
02:16:46.000
It would be at a far lower cost than what it's been to all these business owners.
02:16:54.000
And I'm not saying that you should be cruel and not give a fuck about people's grandparents or, you know, people that have...
02:17:01.000
Yeah, just take that thing like that and fill it up.
02:17:05.000
For the people that aren't vulnerable, do you understand that's most people?
02:17:14.000
Not to be cruel to that small percentage, but we have to think about the consequences of shutting everything down for a long-ass period of time.
02:18:05.000
God, now I got your fucking forehead sweat in my drink.
02:18:14.000
It's all liquid IV. Dude, it's all elk and alpino.
02:18:17.000
Yeah, it's elk, alpinos, and liquid IV. That's my forehead sweat.
02:18:24.000
What were we just saying before Jamie came and stumbled?
02:18:42.000
Actually, I will have it for just the nicotine.
02:18:44.000
If you have a half-smoked cigar, I'll smoke that so you don't have to waste one.
02:18:52.000
That's another thing with the olives and the sardines and shit.
02:18:56.000
I've tried maybe a hundred times, but I think cigars are just for people that really should start smoking cigarettes.
02:19:06.000
It's much more of a mild reaction, because I've smoked Dave Chappelle's cigarettes before, and I've smoked Hinchcliffe's cigarettes before.
02:19:22.000
One of my favorite things was when Chappelle first started coming back to the comedy store, and he ran out of cigarettes on stage, and he goes, Hey, Brian, you got any cigarettes?
02:19:30.000
And I gave him my whole pack, and he smoked the whole thing in like half an hour.
02:19:37.000
Do you think it's legit that those American spirits and shit like that are actually not that bad for you?
02:19:50.000
Well, don't you think the chemicals involved in regency, like Marlboro's?
02:19:58.000
Science found a way to make that not hit as harsh.
02:20:06.000
All those extra chemicals in cigarettes are for a reason.
02:20:09.000
They don't just throw them in there because they have a big batch of chemicals.
02:20:16.000
The next day you wake up, I'm going, oh my god, my lungs have water in the middle.
02:20:21.000
Before I tear your argument apart, please tell me what you think those extra chemicals are doing in cigarettes.
02:20:32.000
They don't just throw a bunch of chemicals in cigarettes.
02:20:35.000
One probably makes it so that if it falls on the side of the road, it doesn't catch on fire.
02:20:40.000
Actually, that's a ring that goes around the filter.
02:20:43.000
If you look at a cigarette, there's a ring that goes around the filter, and I was like, what's that ring?
02:20:48.000
When it gets to the ring, it actually puts the fire out.
02:20:52.000
Apparently, 50 to 60% of adults that were asked view American spirits as less harmful.
02:20:59.000
But that's because they market them as natural, organic, or additive-free.
02:21:04.000
Hey, how are they allowed to have an Indian on the cover and not get called out?
02:21:11.000
Do you know, by the way, I'm saying Indian because of my conversations with actual Native Americans.
02:21:30.000
Hasn't white people killed that name, Native Americans?
02:21:35.000
Indians are probably like, just call me Indian, please.
02:21:39.000
That's the thing where, like, shady white people will pretend.
02:21:47.000
California Attorney General Jerry Brown, 2010. Oh, that motherfucker.
02:21:52.000
They got the company to clearly disclose that its organic tobacco is, quote, no safer or healthier than other tobacco products.
02:22:03.000
The fucking government's trying to hold them down, bro.
02:22:10.000
Do you remember that movie with Russell Crowe, The Insider?
02:22:14.000
That movie was all about tobacco companies making cigarettes with extra chemicals in them to make them more addictive.
02:22:21.000
In the 80s, though, don't you think that they'd probably be like, all right, take out the licorice.
02:22:29.000
No, I think there's chemicals in there that stimulate.
02:22:33.000
Yeah, there's an FTC. This is in this article, too.
02:22:37.000
Around 2000, the FTC, there was a ruling, an agreement that resulted from allegations that additive free cigarettes made consumers feel, I guess, more about natural American cigarettes.
02:22:49.000
They make people feel better because there's an Indian on the cover.
02:23:02.000
No, they just kind of flattened it a little bit.
02:23:06.000
Yeah, there's a Native American smoking a peace pipe.
02:23:17.000
Yeah, I smoked those for about six months and went back to Parliament.
02:23:20.000
They give zero money to Native Americans, is that correct?
02:23:23.000
How much money goes to Native Americans for being a part of Native Spirits?
02:23:29.000
How much of that money went to the reservations?
02:23:40.000
Yeah, American Spirits, I called bullshit on that a long time ago.
02:23:43.000
And that's just called waking up in the morning and going, oh my god, I feel like I just smoked a whole nightclub.
02:23:50.000
Here's a legit question that'll make everybody uncomfortable.
02:23:53.000
What percentage of Aunt Jemima should go to black people?
02:24:00.000
There's a black lady on the cover of the label, Aunt Jemima.
02:24:13.000
Yeah, paying back those reparations or whatever.
02:24:15.000
Like, dude, all that shit, 10% from Uncle Ben, 10% from Aunt Jemima, 10% from Great Drink.
02:24:21.000
We are not economists, so I don't think we should give out percentages.
02:24:25.000
But we should acknowledge that, look, if you have, like, Eskimo cakes...
02:24:30.000
And then the Eskimo community comes along and says, first of all, you can't say Eskimo anymore.
02:24:37.000
But other people are cool with Eskimo, but they want a piece.
02:24:40.000
How many Eskimos are on the fucking board of directors?
02:25:05.000
Maybe they haven't come up with an actual name yet.
02:25:10.000
Is this good for us to be so sensitive about things that we've had forever?
02:25:18.000
But part of me sees that they're weaponizing crazy people.
02:25:21.000
Because it's like, yeah, you should be more sensitive.
02:25:34.000
We should recognize it, but we shouldn't change it.
02:25:37.000
As an example, the Ant-O-Mima shit, the family of Ant-O-Mima was like, no, that's our legacy!
02:25:47.000
I have those Ant-O-Mima statues, those antiques from a long time ago that my mom gave me because she did one in her house.
02:25:54.000
Washington Redskins, like if you call someone a Redskin, that is a derogatory term, right?
02:26:00.000
Like universally considered, like Native Americans did not, or Indians did not call themselves Redskins.
02:26:08.000
That's like the fucking- Maybe the bad, the Indians, like they considered them a bad.
02:26:19.000
And they had like the Japanese people from Bugs Bunny with the crazy eyes and the teeth.
02:26:27.000
If you had the Cleveland cunts and you just had like a Karen as your mascot, some chick...
02:26:47.000
If you're Karen now, what are you going to go by?
02:26:49.000
I talked to a lady, how sweet of a person, but how dumb was this answer?
02:27:05.000
Like, Joe, do you remember, did you ever ask your mom, like, who you're named?
02:27:10.000
Like, I was named after Brian's song when that movie came out.
02:27:13.000
Like, every girl called their, that year, every girl called their baby Brian.
02:27:26.000
Do you know if you were named after somebody in particular?
02:27:55.000
They were going to call him Lindsay, but the mother was like, no, you're not going to do that to him.
02:28:04.000
James Taylor was popular at the time, so it was like a little bit after that, but I guess my mom's brother had a best friend.
02:28:10.000
His name is also Jamie, so that's why they just started calling me that.
02:28:52.000
Lindsey Buckingham is the one I was talking about.
02:29:14.000
I'm loving these fucking weird not circle cigars.
02:29:39.000
So when I drove out here from Los Angeles, one of the podcasts that I really dug deep in that I never listened to, I love Bill, but I never listened to it, is Bill Burr.
02:29:51.000
Like, I know his ad reads were always funny, but the fact that he reads, now talk about your personal experiences, like in the ad reads.
02:30:02.000
And he's such an angry guy, but he knows he's angry.
02:30:07.000
We got to see him recently here in Austin, and that was so beautiful to see him.
02:30:15.000
That was the first real set I'd seen in a long time.
02:30:23.000
The whole time the pandemic was going on, I hadn't seen an actual headliner set.
02:30:31.000
You know what's weird is that I live five miles away from this outdoor arena.
02:30:43.000
They're going to do a scan out from where he was to find you.
02:30:47.000
They're going to knock on your door and show you their dick.
02:31:05.000
So one night we were coming home from the grocery store.
02:31:09.000
Dude, five miles away, there's an outdoor arena just like the Bill Burr place.
02:31:14.000
I come home, and I think my neighbor's having a raging party.
02:31:28.000
But I go on and I go, and the first thing I see is Deadmau5 having a concert outside at this arena.
02:31:37.000
So I tweet something like, dude, all my neighbors are, like, freaking out about Deadmau5 playing.
02:31:45.000
While Deadmau5 is performing, you know, doing, like, the button switching and stuff like that, he finds out that I tweeted that.
02:31:53.000
He messages me, texts me, like, get your ass over here, man.
02:32:02.000
We're, like, talking while the show is going on.
02:32:10.000
He has all these people that love what he does, and he's able to send text messages and videos.
02:32:25.000
Five miles away, you could hear it so loud because of the cold air.
02:32:36.000
Because sound moves faster in warm air than colder air, the wave bends away from the warm air and back towards the ground.
02:32:45.000
That's why sound is able to travel further in chilly weather.
02:32:52.000
Dude, but it was so loud, it felt like it was next door to my house.
02:32:56.000
I would have been like, that doesn't make any sense.
02:32:59.000
If my daughter told me that, I'd be like, no, stay in school.
02:33:07.000
But poor Deadmau5, afterwards we hung out, and he's like, yeah, we're getting all these angry people.
02:33:18.000
Because they just want to hear hillbilly music.
02:33:30.000
It's like that weird stereotype that I just reinforced, that's so not true.
02:33:39.000
They're pretty progressive and pretty open-minded.
02:33:57.000
And I guess you're allowed to carry in Oklahoma.
02:34:02.000
And the person in front of me has a holster with the gun pointing out the side.
02:34:11.000
And he's like, I'm just trying to get paper towels.
02:34:32.000
They're going to need it once all these California people move here.
02:34:39.000
So John Heffron, God bless John Heffron, he told me...
02:34:43.000
That should be the name of your first comedy special.
02:34:50.000
So he told me the biggest thing he learned from moving is to sell everything or get rid of everything, throw it away, donate it or whatever, and rebuy it.
02:34:58.000
It's not worth taking some bullshit Ikea shit and paying for that storage.
02:35:02.000
And trust me, that was the best thing ever that happened to me.
02:35:05.000
But the bad thing is I have to rebuy everything, like a couch, if I need a nightstand.
02:35:13.000
You can think about what you actually need and want.
02:35:16.000
But the bad thing is that all these furniture stores, everyone's moving here to Austin.
02:35:34.000
But do you know how crazy it's been to people that live here to see this place explode the way it's exploded?
02:35:40.000
You know, in L.A., where we lived before, people were always moving there.
02:35:47.000
But this place is just all coming, and no one's going.
02:35:53.000
Because I know that people know already, and I don't want more people moving here, but...
02:36:06.000
We just gotta figure out the right way to vote.
02:36:10.000
Yeah, we can't bring our blue shit to this state.
02:36:20.000
We need open-minded, compassionate people that understand business.
02:36:27.000
But that's not been the case when you look at the Democrats and the Republicans.
02:36:31.000
It's always been like the Democrats, especially lately, have this extraordinary trust in the government to take care of things.
02:36:39.000
And the Republicans have been more like, let's let people open their businesses and make their own decisions for themselves and carry guns.
02:36:52.000
It's the most unusual mix of progressive people and also red state folks.
02:37:02.000
A friend of mine called me up the day of the election when Joe Biden won.
02:37:16.000
People are honking their horns and waving their hands up in the air.
02:37:21.000
But it's not the best thing in the world that that guy won.
02:37:26.000
It's not the worst thing, but they were pumped.
02:37:35.000
I'm lucky my neighborhood that I moved into is all military and police officers.
02:37:42.000
And they all have come to me to introduce themselves with their family.
02:37:50.000
The guy next to me growing up, he was fencing in his backyard.
02:38:09.000
But what's weird is that it's so different in Los Angeles where it's like, fuck thy neighbor, to now it's like, oh yeah, this is normal life.
02:38:19.000
The neighbors are introducing their family like, we're going to live across the street from now.
02:38:24.000
I think people here were just pumped to get rid of Trump so they could get rid of the division and all the chaos.
02:38:29.000
I don't necessarily think that they really believe that when Biden won that it was going to be better, but they were just happy to get rid of Trump.
02:38:38.000
My concern is what happens when Biden checks out.
02:38:43.000
Unless they got some new shit, some Captain America stuff that I don't know about, they're going to shoot him up with it.
02:38:50.000
I mean, Bernie's gonna run next round and he's gonna win.
02:39:02.000
Have you seen the one where he's the dude with the big dick sitting by the bed?
02:39:14.000
Someone posted something that I think is a really astute comment.
02:39:18.000
They said that the Bernie memes show that the internet has recovered.
02:39:23.000
Yeah, because now we're all about fun and not about Trump.
02:39:27.000
That's the benefit of having Trump out of office, because people didn't trust him.
02:39:36.000
And then with the attack on Capitol Hill, they're like, I fucking told you!
02:39:48.000
He made these, he sold them, and he gave all the money away to charity.
02:39:55.000
I just wish when I said that I really liked him and I'd probably vote for him that people didn't go through my act and pull out a bunch of shit out of context.
02:40:03.000
And make him look like he made a terrible decision.
02:40:07.000
Well, it's clickbait bullshit, but it's also...
02:40:11.000
The sport is find what people have said that's fucked up, not what they actually stand for.
02:40:20.000
And it's easy to do if you want your person to win.
02:40:23.000
And it's easy to do if you don't necessarily represent people, but rather represent the special interests of one party or another.
02:40:30.000
And that party did not want that guy to be at the head.
02:40:34.000
And they didn't want Tulsi Gabbard to be at the head.
02:40:36.000
And they didn't want Andrew Yang to be at the head.
02:40:38.000
And those are the three people I was interested in.
02:40:40.000
Tulsi, number one, but I didn't necessarily think that that would...
02:40:49.000
Because it's so polar opposite of Trump, and he doesn't give a fuck, and it's hard to attack him.
02:40:56.000
And who knows what would happen if he implemented a lot of the things that he wanted to do?
02:41:01.000
Who knows what would happen if they absolved student loans?
02:41:04.000
Who knows what would happen if all those people would be free to just start businesses and then give them that with tax breaks?
02:41:13.000
What about giving them less taxes, less government?
02:41:21.000
We gotta figure out what the fuck to do with the worst neighborhoods in this country.
02:41:28.000
They invested all this money into coronavirus relief and all this money into...
02:41:34.000
They gave money to other countries during COVID relief, right?
02:41:40.000
What about these fucked up cities that have been there forever?
02:41:42.000
That have been fucked since slavery and fucked since Jim Crow.
02:41:49.000
We just leave them alone and we give all the money to Coca-Cola or whoever the fuck.
02:41:55.000
They should have better parent law where they give you a little extra boost.
02:41:58.000
Dude, we just got to take money out of politics.
02:42:01.000
And that's a silly thing, a stoner thing to say, a thing that's like so simple to say and so hard to do.
02:42:10.000
It's not that it's bad to, you know, to state your point and to let people choose in terms of who's their candidate.
02:42:20.000
You know, we're one of two countries on the fucking planet Earth that allows drug companies to make commercials.
02:42:30.000
When you see like some list of possible side effects.
02:42:35.000
You know, for something that just calms you down.
02:42:38.000
It includes explosive diarrhea and your legs falling off and your fucking dick shrinking.
02:42:43.000
And you're like, well, at least I won't be anxious.
02:42:50.000
Find out, what are the two companies that allow drug companies to write commercials?
02:42:55.000
I believe it's New Zealand and the United States.
02:43:06.000
We allow underage prostitution and illegal drugs that we know, and gangs, and police.
02:43:12.000
Those drug commercials just better cut out that shit.
02:43:15.000
Because the drug commercials cut into the cocaine and fentanyl sales.
02:43:25.000
And then look at the United States like, you fucking savages.
02:43:36.000
Colombia's like, do you not learn from your history?
02:43:47.000
Zimbabwe's like, you can hunt lions, but fuck drug commercials.
02:43:56.000
What are the side effects for keeping your hair?
02:44:02.000
Yes, that seems like a bullshit article right there.
02:44:08.000
How are our United States the only one, though?
02:44:11.000
Listen, I would like to say that I know for a fact it's not true, but obviously I've never left this room when I've made these assertions.
02:44:22.000
It's the United States and New Zealand are the only two countries that allow drug companies to make commercials for fucking drugs.
02:44:31.000
And they trick you into thinking it's going to fix you.
02:44:40.000
We know you're ripping people off your line to them.
02:44:44.000
You're getting them to think that you're the messiah.
02:44:46.000
If you pretend to be Jesus, we're like, God the fucking shit.
02:44:54.000
When you hear about people that are like, oh, I'm talking to your mom from beyond the grave.
02:45:03.000
But that's, you know, why is it okay to these drug companies to sell ads?
02:45:11.000
Your doctor should be incentivized only to take care of you.
02:45:15.000
Your doctor should never experience a jump in profit if they prescribe more drugs.
02:45:23.000
We can go, listen, people are so easily influenced by material possessions and goods because we're monkeys.
02:45:34.000
And also, if bananas can get you laid, like, look at all those bananas, girls.
02:45:38.000
You're going to try to get more bananas, right?
02:45:43.000
My wife's mom was a nurse and she used to tell me that the drug companies used to take them all out to dinner when she was a nurse.
02:45:57.000
And they're like, we're going to take you to Del Frisco's and have a nice steak dinner.
02:46:02.000
And you know those drug companies are going to take care of you.
02:46:08.000
You're like, oh, margarita with my steak would be wonderful right now.
02:46:16.000
And all of a sudden, this fucking company that sells some anti-anxiety medication that might cause a few suicides here and now, weak-minded people, but for you, it's going to be great.
02:46:26.000
When you're a server, those are the best parties to get.
02:46:30.000
You know they're all showing up to take advantage of this thing.
02:46:33.000
You know the person paying doesn't give a fuck.
02:46:38.000
They're trying to spread that love to you, too.
02:46:44.000
Unless they had a guaranteed 15% and they were like, yeah, yeah, I got that.
02:46:51.000
We're going to be back here next week with some butt implant surgeons.
02:47:04.000
But I also believe we should have a debate on whether or not you're influencing people to do things that may or may not be good for them or for everybody else.
02:47:13.000
Like, there's a lot of people out there taking medication that maybe they should just go for a walk.
02:47:20.000
Like, if you just said that to people, it's not that simple!
02:47:27.000
I've never taken any kind of medication ever in my life.
02:47:34.000
And I feel like it probably would help me so much a little.
02:47:44.000
I mean, like, because you self-meditate, or medicate, you know?
02:47:53.000
But, no, you self-medicate when your body feels like it needs to fix something.
02:47:58.000
That's why you start drinking more, you start smoking more, you start doing something.
02:48:28.000
Kush makes you feel like you're gonna get a hug.
02:48:33.000
Man, I saw something recently about how people would smoke hash back in the 1930s or something like that.
02:48:40.000
They would just take the ball of hash and put it on something and then just sort of like try to breathe in as much of the smoke as they could.
02:48:48.000
The first time I ever saw hash, this is a true story, I was with my manager and an agent.
02:48:53.000
And this agent, we were in a hotel room in Montreal.
02:49:01.000
I had only been doing stand-up at the time for...
02:49:06.000
I'd only been doing stand-up for maybe five years.
02:49:13.000
And I was with my manager, and we were with an agent from a large agency.
02:49:21.000
And he was like, hey, I like what you're doing.
02:49:34.000
I didn't fuck with drugs, because drugs are for losers.
02:49:37.000
So he has a thumbtack with a piece of hash on it.
02:49:42.000
He lights the hash on fire, and he has a glass, and he blows on the hash, and he covers it with the glass, and then he gets his face down on the table and lifts up the glass.
02:49:59.000
And I remember thinking this sad drug addict is going to be my manager or my agent.
02:50:10.000
But they've been with me since I was an open miker.
02:50:21.000
You'd probably be, you'd have a gym or you'd be a carpenter.
02:50:25.000
Yeah, but there was something I did that was good.
02:50:33.000
What did I do that let me be so lucky in this life?
02:50:38.000
You were at a pier once, and you picked up somebody's coat, and that person that you picked up was an alien that's living undercover that we will find out about in a couple years.
02:50:50.000
I don't believe in past lives that you've actually done something.
02:51:49.000
My girlfriend worked at this restaurant in Burbank and Tim Curry came in.
02:51:55.000
Like, I love Tim Curry, but you haven't heard about him in a long time.
02:51:59.000
And he came in in a wheelchair, and I guess he was very sad.
02:52:02.000
And my girlfriend, like, texted me, like, Tim Curry's here.
02:52:08.000
There's one time that I was disappointed in myself for not being ready for a moment that I didn't expect.
02:52:25.000
The first time I ever went on stage ever, Jonathan Katz was the host of the open mic night.
02:52:40.000
I was told when I signed up that I may or may not get on stage.
02:52:46.000
Again, just like the story with my friend Dave with the lady, it's a sketchy picture of images.
02:52:59.000
And there was five minutes for each slot, and there was a certain amount of slots over the night, and he wasn't sure whether or not I could get on.
02:53:08.000
I signed up, and he said to me, I don't know whether or not you'll be able to get up, because there's a few people that haven't showed up.
02:53:16.000
He goes, I think I'll probably be able to get you on.
02:53:33.000
If I had to count them all up, it was more than 80 times over the course of six years.
02:53:40.000
I would think that that would be so scary that getting on stage wouldn't be scary.
02:53:47.000
I was really freaked out because I wasn't prepared.
02:53:58.000
And I was like, I knew I was probably not, I mean, I was probably going to get on, but maybe not going to get on.
02:54:04.000
And I got to the point where I was saying to him, I was going to walk up to Jonathan and I was going to say, it's fine.
02:54:11.000
And I was thinking this in my head and he came up to me and he goes, okay, you're on.
02:54:22.000
He slipped me in when the other guy didn't show up.
02:54:29.000
And I went up and I wasn't good at all by any stretch of the imagination.
02:54:47.000
I mean people like me when I was 21. A slowing of growth and progress.
02:54:54.000
But there was a point where I was like, I think I got off stage and I was like, I think I can do this.
02:55:03.000
And I remember seeing his set later, like a real set.
02:55:06.000
And be like, wow, how lucky did I get that that guy was the host of the first time I ever went on stage.
02:55:16.000
And he was really funny and really like kind of dry, slow burn jokes.
02:55:35.000
And then one time I just ran into him in an elevator.
02:55:42.000
And I was like, hey man, he was in a wheelchair.
02:55:48.000
And we exchanged platitudes and, you know, it was very nice to talk to him.
02:55:54.000
And he was telling me about he's got some sort of a neurological disorder that, you know, it was easier for him to get around in a wheelchair.
02:56:01.000
I didn't know anything about the voice or the actual Dr. Katz.
02:56:14.000
It's a weird thing when you accidentally say he died.
02:56:21.000
I don't believe he has, because I would have heard it.
02:56:30.000
And I wish I could tell him, that guy, he really helped me.
02:56:35.000
He was the first guy ever to host an open mic night.
02:56:42.000
That one moment is a very important moment in your whole life.
02:56:50.000
I don't know what's going on with him physically, you know?
02:56:56.000
Yeah, one of the guys on Kill Tony, Michael Larry, is ALS, and it's so interesting to see.
02:57:02.000
Like, him and my girlfriend's mom, who's dying of this rare blood disease, I'm just like, how can I do a Kickstarter?
02:57:16.000
It's just like you see somebody like, you know, like when Trump got the corona immediately, he's fine.
02:57:23.000
It's like that's a disease where like they had some experimental...
02:57:36.000
It's interesting because that's where the real motivation for fixing these problems that you or I don't have comes from.
02:57:45.000
Our loved ones have to get these problems, whether it's ALS or Parkinson's or whatever it is.
02:57:52.000
When your loved one gets it and then you're like, shit, how do I fix this?
02:57:58.000
And then you realize, oh my god, I've got to pay scientists.
02:58:03.000
It's so weird, and it's such an easy, cliche thing to say, because you could say it and be disingenuous, but I'm being serious.
02:58:10.000
Just relax all preconceived notions about this topic.
02:58:15.000
Why do you know who Oscar winners are, but you don't know who Nobel Prize winners are?
02:58:22.000
It's so weird that we know whether or not J-Lo's butt is real, but we don't know...
02:58:30.000
We don't know about how many planets have been discovered.
02:58:34.000
We don't know about how did CRISPR get invented?
02:58:38.000
Are they really making babies with CRISPR? Are they engineering superhumans right now as we speak?
02:58:44.000
There's so much science going on that really affects the world.
02:58:47.000
And we're so concerned about pop stars or what I think about something.
02:59:24.000
The only thing that separates people from my opinion is nostalgia.
02:59:28.000
If you just looked at it objectively, if I said, which one of these motherfuckers really looks like he can kill people?
02:59:37.000
You don't really think that Timothy Dalton's out there nuking fuckers.
02:59:45.000
But you don't believe that Roger Moore is legitimately out there fucking people up.
03:00:03.000
But it's just like the difference between going back to the early days of Jim Jeffries being the heavyweight champion of the world versus Mike Tyson.
03:00:16.000
You might decide, Jim Jeffries was the old days.
03:00:22.000
How long do you think John L. Sullivan would survive with a prime time Mike Tyson?
03:00:29.000
How many seconds does he live from Mike Tyson just fucking crushes his skull?
03:00:53.000
You got Sean Connery, if you're a silly bitch, and you got Daniel Craig, if you're being honest.
03:01:02.000
But if I had a choice, if the two of them are locked in a room, who's going to live?
03:01:11.000
I'm so sad to announce to everybody that loved that interview where he talked to Barbara Walters about smacking chicks.
03:01:29.000
Daniel Craig looks like he can legitimately kill people.
03:01:33.000
Like, if you asked me if there's a fight to the death between all those guys, one-on-one fight to the death, Daniel Craig, he's gonna win.
03:01:44.000
He's the only one that seems like a real killer.
03:02:00.000
If you're a person who just wants to look at this...
03:02:05.000
You have to separate yourself from all the other James Bonds.
03:02:09.000
And you have to look at this as an individual occurrence.
03:02:16.000
Well, it really does seem like there's this dude who's not perfect.
03:02:20.000
Like, there was a girl who was, like, threatening him, talking about shooting him in his good knee.
03:02:31.000
He's having all these romantic affairs with spies and shit and barely surviving.
03:02:38.000
But as an individual entity, as the James Bond, who's better than him?
03:02:48.000
If you really want to be honest, you grew up with Roger Moore, but you knew about Sean Connery.
03:02:53.000
Yeah, but do you think you only like him because he's the most realistic, because it's the most recent?
03:03:01.000
If he existed, and then if Sean Connery, or no, how about this?
03:03:06.000
If he existed, and then Tim Dalton came on after him.
03:03:13.000
If he came on after that guy, it wouldn't work out.
03:03:19.000
When Timothy Dalton was on, he was perfect for it.
03:03:22.000
It was like this kind of campy, fun thing, where the dude dressed real nice.
03:03:28.000
Ooh, smooth spy, ha-ha martini, Bond, James Bond.
03:03:40.000
But, if you came to a contest, who seems like a real killer?
03:03:53.000
The other people are like, Timothy Dalton's killing people?
03:03:57.000
It sounds like it makes a lot of the stakes matter here.
03:04:05.000
If they made an Austin Powers-y type movie, Jane O' Craig doesn't fit, right?
03:04:10.000
They're starting to slow down and joke and he's not shooting.
03:04:18.000
They walked onto the set of the fake moon landing?
03:04:24.000
They accidentally burst into the set of people faking the moon landing.
03:04:40.000
It doesn't mean that those movies weren't great.
03:04:47.000
Oh, Diamonds Are Forever, 1971. Diamonds are forever.
03:04:50.000
So that was before they killed the moon landing program.
03:04:54.000
They did it from 69 to, I believe, they did it in 72. So Roger Moore probably was a part of how they killed the moon landing program.
03:05:14.000
I thought it was by this time it was Roger Moore.
03:05:27.000
The cops are running out there and he's got like a fucking moon rover.
03:05:59.000
He was in Smokey and the Bandit, but he was also in The Hustler, which is an amazing, dramatic movie from...
03:06:06.000
What was that, like 63 or something like that, The Hustler?
03:06:12.000
No, that was The Color of Money, which was like in the 80s.
03:06:16.000
But The Hustler was in, I think it was 63. 61. 61?
03:06:25.000
61. And Jackie Gleason was like this world champion pool player.
03:06:31.000
So he went from that serious, dark movie about losers and winners and hustlers and people who sell themselves out.
03:06:41.000
Yeah, I was totally thinking of the other movie.
03:06:46.000
It's the same guy who wrote The Queen's Gambit.
03:06:57.000
A Walter Tevis version of The Hustler, like for Netflix.
03:07:03.000
No, you need that story, that story, with Eddie Felsen, with Fast Eddie Felsen, and with Minnesota Fats, or New York Fats.
03:07:12.000
Minnesota Fats, in that movie, was the original Minnesota Fats.
03:07:17.000
There was a guy named New York Fats that decided that Walter Tevis stole his shit, and so he changed his name to Minnesota Fats.
03:07:24.000
So you know, there was a guy named Minnesota Fats, who was a really, really good pool player, no doubt about it.
03:07:32.000
He changed his name to be Minnesota Fats so that he would be the same guy in the movie The Hustler.
03:07:40.000
And this guy, Willie Moscone, who's like a legitimate, stoic, wear a suit and tie, world champion, straight pool player, he famously played Minnesota Fats in a series of games on ABC Wide World of Sports.
03:07:56.000
They used to have these Wide World of Sports pool matches.
03:08:04.000
He was a con man who was a good pool player, but conned his way.
03:08:13.000
He was a con man, but he was also a really good pool player.
03:08:39.000
And Willie Moscone was like, he would go crazy.
03:08:42.000
Because he really was the best pool player on earth.
03:08:56.000
He was like a world championship caliber pool player.
03:09:00.000
But he was also a bit of a hustler and a bullshit artist.
03:09:03.000
So he found an opening where he could just say that that was about me.
03:09:07.000
And then when you watch him play, like, who's going to argue with him?
03:09:10.000
There's like a few guys that could argue with him.
03:09:17.000
It's like a girl coming up right now pretending she's the chess version of Beth Harmon.
03:09:40.000
The Hustler and that book, I think, were in the same time period.
03:09:47.000
The Hustler was like, I think he wrote that in the 50s.
03:09:57.000
What was that really popular chess movie that was like in the 90s?
03:10:30.000
Film adaptation 86. yeah dude back then when that was that night moves bob seeger no no the movie night moves what is that you never saw night moves oh dude night moves who's in it was awesome it was uh directed by carl and uh carl had christopher lambert in it daniel baldwin tom scurritt diane lane ferdy main blue mackamama Who's Carl?
03:11:14.000
Sebastian is the only male white comedian to pull off the one name thing in the history of the known universe.
03:11:27.000
Name me a white guy who's pulled off the one name thing.
03:12:11.000
If you say Eliza, you don't have to say Schlesinger.
03:12:54.000
I can't show it on that podcast, but if you guys want to say it again...
03:13:04.000
But he was like a giant pop star in Germany, right?
03:13:11.000
They're auctioning his statue from Spongebob right now.
03:14:19.000
If that wasn't the guy from Baywatch, and it was this really cool avant-garde artist, wouldn't you treat that song differently?
03:14:54.000
Look how realistic and big this statue of David Hasselhoff is that's up for auction right now.
03:15:08.000
That looks like Screech from Saved by the Bell.
03:15:11.000
If you had that at your backyard party for your kids, come on!
03:15:16.000
I'd have to pretend that it's a giant person trying to attack me, crawling on the ground.
03:15:42.000
He's gone from being like this heartthrob on this TV show to being like, just like, it's kind of fun.
03:15:50.000
Like if you're having a movie, it's like good for a comedy.
03:15:52.000
He walks in and he's still kind of good looking, you know?
03:15:57.000
Comes in, raises eyebrows, say something ridiculous.
03:16:02.000
Yeah, it's amazing how it worked for him, but yet other people that do the same shit, it doesn't work for it.
03:16:07.000
It's kind of like the comics that never make it, like the Patch from Days of Our Lives.
03:16:14.000
Patch and Kayla, he had a patch on Days of Our Lives.
03:16:28.000
But he's been a heartthrob his whole life, and he's never...
03:16:31.000
You never see him and get like, oh, man, he's...
03:16:39.000
You could never do that today, because you'd be an ableist.
03:16:52.000
Listen, there's something amazing about soap operas.
03:17:11.000
Like, Days of Our Lives, like, do you remember when...
03:17:18.000
It's a weird moment in time where General Hospital became one of the biggest shows in the country.
03:17:25.000
It was a daytime soap opera, and there was a drama between Luke and Laura.
03:17:31.000
And this was when I was in high school, and I watched General Hospital.
03:17:53.000
Me and my sister and all our friends, we were glued.
03:17:56.000
We needed to know what was going to happen with Luke and Laura.
03:17:59.000
And there was a lot of people like, God, Luke, I don't get it.
03:18:14.000
Because a lot of dudes were like, man, if she likes Luke, she'd probably like me.
03:18:48.000
I would go from high school to taekwondo practice.
03:18:56.000
I was a news junkie even as a baby because it was like, oh, this is like tells me where the tornado warnings are from, you know, like the same channel.
03:19:03.000
Dude, I would have been the dumbest person to talk to about anything going on in the world because I literally didn't know what was happening.
03:19:14.000
I would hear, like, oh, Russia wants to kill us.
03:19:28.000
Like, people, like, when you're growing up, you can get, you can seek comfort in ideas that other people agree to.
03:19:36.000
Like, you can find a bunch of other people that have similar ideas or ideas you can accept.
03:19:46.000
You could dive into that, and it's very tempting.
03:19:52.000
The best thing that happened to me, it's one of the best things that ever happened.
03:19:55.000
At the time, I thought it was the worst thing because I was so lonely.
03:20:03.000
All these people, even people that I loved hanging out with, I was like, I got to get out of here.
03:20:11.000
I felt like I had all these wild ideas that I needed to explore.
03:20:23.000
Like, those weird moments that you have when you're a kid, like, those are these weird doors you either go through or you don't, you know?
03:20:33.000
Do you ever think back on things that you've done?
03:20:35.000
Like, just weird moments in your life where you have this idea, like, I gotta go that way.
03:20:42.000
Is that just your understanding of all the possibilities and...
03:20:52.000
Just a little bit of fairy breeze that comes your way that says, Brian.
03:21:04.000
When I was a kid, Choose Your Own Adventure was a thing, and it taught me to either choose A or B, and then I started incorporating that in my life and thinking there was two options instead of a billion options.
03:21:14.000
Explain that to people that don't know what you're talking about.
03:21:16.000
Choose Your Own Adventure was a book that you used to read the first page, and it would be like, hey, and then you get to the cave.
03:21:30.000
Billy stayed in the cave and it was filled with hot porn stars and gold.
03:21:39.000
That made you think that there was just like a couple options.
03:21:43.000
And I think that as a kid, that's just like teaching anything where you learn something and you start growing up like, oh, there's only two options.
03:21:50.000
It's either go to the cops or rob the place or do this or do that.
03:22:07.000
With all these woke fucks looking to get angry at people, what have they done about priests?
03:22:17.000
Is there some movement that I'm not aware of, or is it largely ignored?
03:22:30.000
If people really wanted to fix things and get rid of the evil in the world, wouldn't you go after the fucking people that have been accused of fucking kids?
03:22:44.000
It's like one organization that's really well recognized for having a large number of child molesters.
03:22:55.000
Literally imagine if that was like the welders union.
03:23:01.000
If they fired them instead of moved them, maybe there would just be no priests anymore after so long.
03:23:07.000
No, there's a lot of priests that have never done anything like that.
03:23:11.000
There's a lot of priests that really believe what they're saying, and maybe they're not very sexual and they don't care about...
03:23:16.000
That's a weird thing, too, is that they make them celibate.
03:23:19.000
But there's a lot of priests that also just rubbed it on the outside, you know what I mean?
03:23:25.000
I don't know what you mean, you son of a bitch!
03:23:38.000
You know, it's like, you can't tell people they can't express themselves sexually.
03:23:44.000
Because if you tell people they have to be celibate but you don't do anything about their hormonal drive, they're going to get confused.
03:23:49.000
They're going to be literally crazed by this need to be touched.
03:24:01.000
We need to be touched physically, like friends and hugs and stuff like that.
03:24:09.000
And when you tell people they can't have that, you can't have the one for sure, then they spend a whole...
03:24:17.000
Like, if you can't fuck, you don't spend a whole lot of time hugging.
03:24:20.000
It's not like, I know we can't fuck, but can we just spoon?
03:24:30.000
So you have all these needs that your body has because we're engineered to reproduce.
03:24:39.000
We figured out tools, but everything can eat us.
03:24:42.000
So it was always run, hide, get in the cave, start the fire, stab it when it comes in.
03:24:53.000
How old were you when you learned that tortilla chips were just a tortilla cut in force?
03:24:59.000
And you used to be like, why are tortilla chips bad for you?
03:25:01.000
And then you realize, holy shit, I just ate 42 tortillas.
03:25:07.000
January 25th, 2021. That's when I figured that out.
03:25:34.000
Unless I'm having salsa, I'm not interested in my soup.
03:25:42.000
If you have tortilla soup, right, it just scrapes your mouth.
03:26:19.000
There was a place in Boulder, Colorado where you get menudo.
03:26:31.000
It's this crazy soup that some Mexican joints will serve and they don't always have it.
03:26:38.000
Do you remember that place that was near us in Woodland Hills?
03:26:46.000
Remember it was down, like, it's either down Canoga.
03:26:58.000
Well, it won't be open right now, but it was so good.
03:27:04.000
But you didn't want to ruin it, because you would go there.
03:27:08.000
You had to say the thing on the wall, point to them, and you give them the money.
03:27:34.000
I don't want a bunch of people like me showing up.
03:27:39.000
Dude, but you would go there and they would have these Spanish soap operas.
03:27:46.000
You know, because we would say, oh, this guy's got a patch on his eye.
03:27:50.000
He's been playing the same character for 33 years.
03:28:01.000
Let me show you some of the most ridiculous plots in the history of soap operas.
03:28:08.000
The game shows were all voluptuous women in red dresses, like dancing in the background and doing things.
03:28:19.000
They had ridiculous game shows, ridiculous soap operas, super entertaining stuff.
03:28:24.000
You weren't ever an actor in a soap opera once?
03:28:32.000
I missed all possibilities of being a soap opera actor.
03:28:39.000
My friend, uh, Rahsaan, he's, uh, uh, Renato, uh, Hanato La Ranja.
03:28:48.000
He's a Brazilian jujitsu, crazy black belt character that's just trying to fuck everybody.
03:28:57.000
There's a video, an improvised video that people still to this day think is real of Hanato confronting me after training and talking to me about James Brown.
03:29:15.000
He wanted to argue, this is like, I have a wallet chain.
03:29:25.000
But he just, it was like this ongoing, like, comedy routine that we did.
03:29:29.000
I was just trying to get dressed, and I'd pretend that I'm just trying to go...
03:29:47.000
Well, when you do jiu-jitsu, you get a lot of nail scratches.
03:29:53.000
People accidentally scratch you with their nails when they're trying to get out of chokes and stuff.
03:29:58.000
Especially if you have someone's back, they grab your ankles and your heels.
03:30:28.000
If you got a gig like that, that's one thing, though.
03:30:30.000
If you were in Hollywood and you got that gig, man, you would work for a long-ass time.
03:30:39.000
I thought General Hospital, I thought that closed.
03:30:43.000
No, I think General Hospital closed a couple years ago, if I remember correctly.
03:30:54.000
I mean, I might have jumped and I just said they're still there.
03:30:57.000
It said it's a 2015 something was still going on.
03:31:19.000
Where like that soap opera became national media.
03:31:32.000
He wants to talk about that lady he made fun of in his video.
03:31:36.000
My god, get the David Hasselhoff statue, I'll buy it from you.
03:31:58.000
Shit, I gotta get the fuck home and grab some shit and go back.
03:32:25.000
Yeah, I have my girlfriend dress up like Short Round all the time.
03:32:33.000
I'm like, feels like we're stepping on fortune cookies.
03:32:40.000
So tell everybody what is going on at Anton's and how often it's going on.
03:32:46.000
It's going to start up the second week of February.
03:32:48.000
We've already been doing it once a week, but every Thursday we have a secret show, which is great for comics that are in town that want to try out some material off the lineup, you know?
03:32:57.000
Like, hey, you know, I want to do a quick 10, quick 15. It's great that we have a lot of local comics and everybody, and then Kill Tony every Monday.
03:33:20.000
And Vulcan was the first place I went on stage after a long time.
03:33:24.000
It was like July until Tony did a show at Vulcan.
03:33:30.000
There's a lot of comedy going on there, too, right?
03:33:32.000
There's a lot of comedy in Austin, which is like every night out here, which is great.
03:33:39.000
And that's what's amazing about the city is that for comedians, it really is.
03:33:43.000
Like, hey, you get to feel that stage time, which I think a lot of us are going crazy about.
03:33:51.000
And this is what I think is going to be really good for us.
03:34:02.000
There's a lot of music that's created here in Austin.
03:34:06.000
I mean, it's the place where Stevie Ray Vaughan became huge.
03:34:09.000
Stevie Ray Vaughan actually used to play at Stubbs for food.
03:34:14.000
The place where Chappelle and I have been doing shows.
03:34:16.000
Stevie Ray Vaughan used to play there for food.
03:34:19.000
Yeah, there's pictures of these cool motherfuckers on the wall back there.
03:34:31.000
I mean, that was like, you know, that was the folklore.
03:34:34.000
I don't even really know if it's true, but it's a great story that early in his career they paid him with food.
03:34:39.000
But it's just, this place is filled with, like, small bars and small restaurants and, you know, places like Anton's where you can see, like, Real music.
03:35:00.000
There's definitely people that get famous out of here.
03:35:07.000
Whether it's with actual painting and drawing or whether it's with music or food.
03:35:18.000
Because I think there was something that was going on in LA that was not necessarily...
03:35:23.000
It wasn't terrible because it made people money.
03:35:27.000
But it wasn't the best for the actual art form of stand-up.
03:35:30.000
And that was being connected to Hollywood money.
03:35:37.000
And so you sort of start bending your ideals to what people like, how they react to, what they react to positively.
03:35:46.000
You don't take as many chances because you're really worried about not being able to get a role on a television show or in a movie or you worry about saying something crazy like, that bit's funny but I can't do it.
03:36:00.000
Like and guys do that and they sort of become some different thing and then they get famous and then they're stuck in this like different thing category and then they maybe get a divorce and they're a little bit bitter but they have to hide it.
03:36:11.000
You know, like they want to come out but this is their spot.
03:36:17.000
And it's a weird thing that happens when you're connected to Hollywood.
03:36:20.000
But if you're in a place where comedy is just comedy, like we all agree, you say something ridiculous, I know it's not true.
03:36:28.000
It's fucking, it's just, is it funny or is it not?
03:36:37.000
There's little things you can say that make everybody feel better.
03:36:42.000
You don't get to those worrying about whether or not NBC is going to hire you.
03:36:45.000
You get to those in a community where there's nobody but comedy.
03:36:58.000
We don't need all the executive type characters and all these interferons.
03:37:09.000
Just as long as you only have podcasts and shows.
03:37:36.000
I got in a deep philosophical discussion of stand-up very early on when I was unqualified, and I didn't really have the right fucking ways of describing the way I felt about things.
03:37:50.000
In the 80s especially, you have to do clean comedy.
03:37:55.000
And if you weren't doing clean comedy, people would say, hey, you're ruining your career with these dirty jokes.
03:38:05.000
And I remember thinking, why is it so good to only say the things that you know that can be on censored television?
03:38:19.000
There were certain people, even in the early, early days of stand-up, when nobody knew...
03:38:24.000
There was a lot of these legendary, dirty comics that would be in these places, and we would all go to see them.
03:38:33.000
There was a bunch of these guys that were like, They were like local legends, you know?
03:38:39.000
There were people that you would hear about, and people would go to go see them.
03:38:47.000
But they couldn't get on television, because television was selling ads.
03:38:54.000
Like, if you knew good comedy, or you loved comedy, you would go, okay, okay, okay.
03:39:02.000
If you're a real comic, you're like, I'm gonna go see that guy.
03:39:08.000
You would go see someone who's, like, really fucking going for it.
03:39:13.000
But we were all, in a way, we were all, like, weighted down by Hollywood.
03:39:23.000
And that's one of the reasons why I wanted to move here.
03:39:36.000
Whether they're Comedy Central or any place, it's not their fault.
03:39:56.000
People are like, well, if you're funny, you can be funny clean, too.
03:40:06.000
If you really want to know what people think, why are we adhering to any form of censorship in terms of saying the word fuck or whatever word you want to say?
03:40:25.000
Shouldn't we have all the fun words and just know how to use them correctly?
03:40:30.000
And how to recognize that someone's using them incorrectly?
03:40:34.000
Wouldn't it be better for everybody if we just accept all the words?
03:40:37.000
How come you can accept it when you're a 35-year-old at a party with your friends?
03:40:42.000
And you can't accept it if you're watching NBC? What is that?
03:41:08.000
Why are there still rules in NBC, ABC, CBS? I feel like that's different, though.
03:41:15.000
If you want to be in that block, you've got to play by their rules.
03:41:17.000
But that block doesn't mean as much as it used to.
03:41:21.000
But how weird is it that that block is still there?
03:41:23.000
To start back at the show, that girl that you're bringing up your daughter watches 25 million views, she has 5 million Instagram followers.
03:41:31.000
I'm just saying, but no one's stopping her from doing anything.
03:41:44.000
What I'm saying is it's just fascinating that these CBS, NBC, ABC shows still have this FCC guidelines thing.
03:42:00.000
But if you're doing something that's supposed to be entertaining, when are you allowed to swear around your kids?
03:42:08.000
Like, when do you say, what's wrong with the gardener?
03:42:18.000
They're still using really old technology, though, but that's still, it's more broadly accessible.
03:42:36.000
This idea that somehow or another we need to protect people by censoring ABC, NBC, and CBS. If I was those people, I'd be pissed.
03:42:43.000
Because I'd be like, hey, you need to let this go.
03:42:46.000
We're trying to compete with YouTube, you fucks.
03:42:53.000
Because the last couple of years they've allowed YouTube to advertise on their biggest broadcast of the year.
03:43:00.000
Like with the sporting events that are being watched by everyone.
03:43:07.000
Like they have contracts with live sporting events.
03:43:10.000
That's kind of like the only reason why television really makes sense.
03:43:14.000
Because if you really wanted me to wait till Thursday...
03:43:21.000
When I can just go to Netflix and I can see the whole season.
03:43:26.000
I want to just stay up all night and binge watch it.
03:43:30.000
And I think most sports are on the way out anyway.
03:43:32.000
That show WandaVision is doing the opposite of that right now.
03:43:39.000
The people who control the Marvel Cinematic Universe have made a TV show.
03:43:43.000
And it is in that world, so if you really care and spend all that time watching all those movies and like...
03:43:52.000
Two of those characters are now living their lives in this world.
03:43:57.000
Once a week, you're going to now be led along the path of that.
03:44:01.000
If you want to jump back in and see where they're going, back in the days of Lost, talk about it with your friends for a week.
03:44:11.000
What is that little thing in the corner of that?
03:44:21.000
I honestly enjoyed the first Wonder Woman movie.
03:44:54.000
But why is there overwhelmingly more interest in Marvel comics than DC? What is that?
03:45:04.000
That really only happened when Jon Favreau made Iron Man.
03:45:08.000
That was when the Marvel Cinematic Universe took off.
03:45:11.000
Was that the first one that was before Spider-Man?
03:45:20.000
They were still making movies, but they were just in a different style.
03:45:25.000
The Fantastic Four movie got made like four times.
03:45:29.000
Did you see the documentary about Japanese Spider-Man?
03:45:41.000
There's way more Marvel comics that have been successful.
03:45:52.000
It is interesting that both groups will remake a show like that.
03:46:05.000
Yeah, there's like four in production now with three different Batmans.
03:46:27.000
With CGI. It almost got announced after we talked about it on the podcast.
03:46:29.000
Tony brought it up and the next day they announced Michael Keaton.
03:46:32.000
Tony Hinchcliffe keeps saying he wants to be the Joker.
03:46:41.000
Michael Keaton, they're bringing him back as Batman.
03:46:45.000
Did you see that one Batman, or Michael Keaton movie rather, where it was a couple years back, it was about actors?
03:46:53.000
There was a movie that was really critically acclaimed.
03:47:09.000
There's a thing about movies we get like really used to those set up, you know You know conflict resolution ending yay We get used to that pattern and it feels good when it ends like that.
03:47:21.000
Yeah fucking King Kong did kick Godzilla's ass But every now and then a movie comes along like no country for old men or it ends you like what?
03:47:31.000
And it ends you like I deserve this I deserve this I was I was waiting for some I saw an amazing movie and I was waiting for some cookie cutter ending and I saw a movie like that recently where you're watching and you're like, okay, I think I've seen a movie like this before.
03:48:16.000
The crazy thing about it was how original it was.
03:48:19.000
It was one of those movies where you're like, Jesus Christ.
03:48:21.000
Some movies, they have a certain plot, and you think you got it.
03:48:26.000
With that movie, you're like, what the fuck is going on?
03:48:40.000
You're going to hear my Danny Glover impersonation.
03:48:47.000
That's the only movie I saw in the theater all year.
03:48:53.000
It was one of those movies where I've got to watch this again when I'm less tired.
03:49:00.000
and I got that old man sleepy eye thing going on.
