00:01:35.000I told him today, and I said, and I pulled him aside, and I was like, listen, I understand your girl's here, and out of respect for her, I'm not going to choke the shit out of you.
00:01:41.000But he was getting his blood test, and I almost choked the shit out of him.
00:05:54.000The thing is, it's not a bad thing to practice movement.
00:05:59.000It's almost kind of like a form of yoga in a way.
00:06:03.000You're practicing moving your body, and if you get really good at doing those katas, it'll probably enhance your ability to move, which will enhance your ability to spar.
00:06:12.000But you're not giving anybody a medal for shadowboxing.
00:13:59.000Raised against me questions that have sought to unfairly characterize and weaponize everyday interactions that I've had with any number of New Yorkers.
00:14:11.000The New York Times published a front page picture of me touching a woman's face at a wedding and then kissing her on the cheek.
00:18:20.000Do you know she was in another party and he made her denounce her party in order to come over to work for him and then she immediately went after him?
00:20:25.000And I think it's an older person thing.
00:20:26.000I think the Cuomo stuff that was messed up is probably he was trying to finger these girls or grabbing titties or just being a real, like, scumbag.
00:20:32.000And I'm just not surprised, like, anybody, like...
00:20:36.000That wants to be in a position of power uses their power shitty.
00:20:40.000Yeah, especially that kind of thing, like a governor or president.
00:20:44.000It used to be, back in the JFK days, that's why you became president, so you could fuck everybody.
00:22:14.000We were really all about it, and then the government was like, yeah, there might be some, and then we're like, okay, give us what we need.
00:22:19.000It's actually pretty dangerous if you think about the fact that you got this guy Who is a key witness in one of the most high-profile sex trafficking things ever.
00:22:32.000If what they accused him of is accurate, and that he really did involve heads of state, politicians, scientists, celebrities, and he brought them all to Fuck Island, and he filmed them.
00:25:13.000It's not a bunch of fucking horny dudes, a guy with a huge dick, you get in the bus to get a ride wherever you need to go, and then you just start fucking, right?
00:25:20.000There was a girl there who would help kick the game.
00:25:23.000And it made it so much calmer, so much safer.
00:25:26.000Even watching it, you're like, I feel way better that there's a woman here.
00:25:29.000If there wasn't a woman here, this would be dangerous.
00:25:31.000But this girl's here and she's making sure everything's okay.
00:25:34.000It's like a dude being a pimp is way more gross than a woman being a madam.
00:27:52.000I think a lot of people like the idea of a conservative transsexual.
00:27:55.000Yeah, because it makes you feel comfortable with your political beliefs.
00:27:59.000Yeah, and you know, transsexual people being in the public eye a lot more now, and particularly her, she's like the main one, would be interesting.
00:28:12.000I'm sure California would love to elect the first ever transsexual governor and claim the throne as the most progressive state of all time.
00:30:09.000But when you're at the random show with people that they don't even know in the lineup, you know, everybody's doing 15-minute spots, you don't know what behavior you should have.
00:30:17.000So you go in there going, okay, I gotta be appropriate like I'm appropriate at work.
00:30:21.000And it's up to us to either make the jokes funny enough so that they can kind of let loose a little bit.
00:30:45.000That's the one good thing about having your own show where people know what to expect.
00:30:49.000But it's also the one good thing about being in a place like the cellar or the store where you're dealing with 15 people a night where you can't get away with that.
00:31:04.000It allows you to structure your jokes in a way where you make them more palatable with the same ideas and the same jokes, but you figure out a way to ease them in better.
00:31:19.000The benefits of having some visibility or people know about me and they know about you like they understand your perspective is like there's an expectation when you walk on stage like I used to always be like I used to always be jealous of comics that like looked a certain way when they walk on stage and they could just acknowledge it.
00:31:36.000Yeah and it's like everybody's thinking the same thing you walk on stage satisfied go and I hated the first few minutes because Because nobody knows the fuck I am when I walk on stage.
00:31:46.000Every Jewish person thinks I'm Jewish.
00:35:01.000Yeah, that's the thing about those kind of shows where you're improvising on the spot.
00:35:06.000They got a show out here called The Riff, and what they use is cards.
00:35:09.000The audience will fill out index cards, like Obama's Super Spreader Party.
00:35:15.000You write things down on it, and then they take these things, they pull them out of this box, and they stick them on this wheel, just randomly, and then they spin the wheel, and it'll land on one of the things.
00:35:27.000And you grab the card and you're like, okay.
00:38:55.000The waves are breaking off of this point, right?
00:38:57.000So that means that there's reef here, and there's some rocks, and the wave wraps around the rocks, and the rock starts to break, and then they go.
00:39:04.000You take off on the wave really close to the rock, okay?
00:39:08.000And what I was basically doing is watching the locals take off, and I was just taking off a little bit further outside than them.
00:39:15.000I'm like, if that's where they take off, I go a little outside, I'll be okay.
00:41:57.000He was surfing at, I don't want to say which one because he didn't say it, but he was surfing at a wave pool and the way the wave pools work is there's a...
00:42:04.000When you say a wave pool and those artificial ones?
00:42:08.000And what happened was he, in these wave pools, he was like in the initial stages, right?
00:42:13.000So I think everybody was giving like a trial run before they put it out there.
00:42:16.000And the way it works is there's this like engine room that sucks in water right and then shoots the water back out and that's what starts the wave right so you suck in the water there's a there's a depression in the water level and then you push it back out and all that water coming out at the same time creates a hump it hits more shallow water starts to break he's really close to the wall waiting to surf The suction happens.
00:45:24.000I was reading some article, and it said she'd mixed things up, and her mom was saying this, and her mom was saying they really had it, they were balling in North Korea.
00:45:34.000She had a fucking Chanel bag and shit like that.
00:46:59.000But again, we don't know what it's like over there because we haven't gone.
00:47:02.000Every single person who's escaped tells the same story.
00:47:06.000They all talk about the camps, and they all talk about how if your grandfather's done something, you'll be born in these camps, and that you have multiple generations of guilt.
00:49:36.000They scooped his butt with a spoon, went into the butt cheeks, pulled his pants down, and just dug in there with a spoon to take scoops of his ass.
00:50:14.000There's a lot that's documented about North Korea that's undeniable.
00:50:17.000Their atrocities are pretty intense, especially the camps, the way they have these camps set up.
00:50:24.000If you see the video of them crying when Kim Jong-un died, or Kim Jong-il, Kim Jong-un's dad, Kim Jong Il died, and if you didn't cry hard enough, you get sentenced to six months of hard labor.
00:51:59.000What if this whole thing, like, what if South Korea is paying people to say some wild shit about North Korea so that we think North Korea is crazy?
00:53:11.000So, I was thinking of doing some shows in Europe, right?
00:53:16.000Obviously, if things are open or whatever, maybe come next summer.
00:53:19.000So I was like, what if we spent like a month and a half in like Italy and then did the shows on the weekends and then podcasts and stuff during the week?
00:53:29.000So it was almost like a shorter version of what we did in Miami.
00:56:41.000Dylan has a point, as opinion polls consistently show overwhelming support for lockdown-happy premieres like Western Australia's Mark McGowan.
00:56:50.000Even Daniel Andrews, at the heart of Victoria's five-month outbreak last year, approved of his ultra-harsh stage four lockdown.
00:57:27.000Either way, point being, he's a commentator for One FC, and he's gone back and forth there so many times that he has to, every time he goes, I think he told me he spent like some insane amount of time over the last year and a half.
00:59:55.000But they were making all this money in crypto, and I was like, well, this is worth investing because there's 10x return, 100x return, 1,000x.
01:00:02.000I will risk the money because there's a massive potential return, right?
01:00:08.000And I literally, I did it like the day before the shit collapsed.
01:00:11.000I put too much money in, and then it collapsed.
01:00:54.000There's such a high reward like even with you like all the shit you do like you're always like I'm a Mexican science experiment You always say that shit to me, right?
01:01:01.000And it's like because there's high reward you can do all these things You don't know if they're fucking FDA approved, but the reward that comes with them is huge, right?
01:01:11.000I don't know I think the tricky thing for people with the vaccine is like I think most people are not afraid of COVID so they're like it's only risk You
01:03:57.000I'm saying you actually become gay or straight.
01:03:59.000But just for the punishment, just for the time.
01:04:02.000We were talking outside about, I had this conversation with a guy where I was saying, imagine if gender dysphoria could be cured with a pill.
01:04:10.000Do you think people would take it and not be trans?
01:04:12.000He goes, no, they were thinking of it as genocide.
01:04:15.000Just from everything I've heard from trans people, I don't know because what I've heard from them is this is the best solution they have for the problem.
01:05:12.000But yeah, that's one of the plot lines.
01:05:13.000Remember the movie, I forget which one it was, where there was a guy who was curing the mutants, and he was going around, he was like shooting them with serum, and then they lose their mutant powers.
01:07:42.000I was on my way to the airport and I just saw a neighborhood and I was like...
01:07:46.000If you make it out of this neighborhood, that is the greatest accomplishment that a human being could possibly do.
01:07:51.000I mean, the guy who was driving me used to own a Domino's in the neighborhood, got shot four times because they were just robbing a fucking Domino's.
01:07:59.000So the neighborhood is so dangerous, it can't support commerce.
01:08:01.000And when there's no commerce, there's no jobs.
01:08:23.000If it's so dangerous, like the delivery guys were getting shot all the fucking time.
01:08:27.000Like, if you can't put money into it, Like, if there's no opportunity, there's no place where a kid can work when he's 16, you know, or a kid can get a job when he finishes high school.
01:14:27.000What is the deal with people that go through the border?
01:14:32.000Because I was watching this video where someone was showing me a line of family members that were in cars waiting to pick up people that were released from detainment centers after they had crossed the border illegally.
01:15:04.000So you think that Lambda's coming through the border?
01:15:07.000I think if you get enough people coming through the border and you don't test them, it just makes sense that some of those people are probably sick with all kinds of stuff.
01:15:17.000That's kind of interesting because I think in order to come into America, you need to have a COVID test, a negative COVID test.
01:15:24.000Like if you're coming from Europe, you need to have negative COVID tests.
01:18:16.000They need some fucking shit because it's just like rude, depressed, like, and weirdly enough the comedy crowds there are great because I think those are the people that are like, yeah, it sucks here.
01:18:28.000Dude, I went into this fucking restaurant, it was me and the boys, and they didn't have any seating, so I asked the lady behind the counter who worked there, I was like, hey, could you recommend another place for us to go eat, you know, some seating or something like that?
01:18:40.000And she was like, yeah, sure, do you have a phone?
01:18:43.000And I go, yeah, I take out the phone, and she's like, Google it.
01:23:22.000Well, that's, yeah, the first test they did, almost half the people they tested were...
01:23:26.000So they did one test in May of 2020. ICE reported having tested 2,781 people in his custody with 1,461 positive tests at just 60 of more than the 200 facilities.
01:28:50.000There's soil in this one particular area.
01:28:52.000But a lot of the Cubans that used to grow in this one particular area, they left and they went to Dominican Republic and went to Nicaragua.
01:29:02.000And there are some people, I don't know enough to tell you if this is true, there's some people that swear that what the mystique of Cuba, you know, there's still cigars that are amazing that come from Cuba, he said, but they're just as good from Nicaragua and from Dominican Republic.
01:29:18.000But it's just the idea of like getting something you can't get.
01:29:22.000It's like there's wealthy Chinese people that want to drink rhino horn tea.
01:41:41.000And we actually drove to Boston and slept on the way.
01:41:45.000Because he did this thing where, I don't even know if you should, but you can hang something off of the steering wheel because you need to show that you have like...
01:51:05.000And people, I don't know, they probably say this with you too, they're like, it's your choice.
01:51:11.000They can't fathom that our ladies don't care about the fucking attention.
01:51:17.000They just can't fathom that they might not want to go through the cruelty and scrutiny of the internet when they're not even trying to be famous.
01:51:24.000Well, I have friends whose girls get mad if they don't post them.
01:51:56.000She's like, I'm not trying to be famous, so I don't want to deal with the fuck shit that you have to deal with because you're a public figure.
01:52:04.000Like, they can make fun of your nose, right?
01:52:07.000Say whatever the fuck you want about my nose, say whatever the fuck you want about my fucking hair, whatever it is, but I'm using this and leveraging this to do shows and to do other things.
01:52:33.000So you get one person who's like this loud extrovert and then the person who compliments them is calm and controlled and doesn't need any attention at all and it's just cool just reading a book.
01:52:45.000Sometimes you're better off with that kind of balance and that they can appreciate that you're different than them.
01:52:52.000The big thing in relationships is that one person doesn't try to control the other person.
01:52:58.000You let that person be who the fuck they are.
01:53:01.000The worst relationships that I've ever seen is when someone gets involved with a person and they look at them like a project.
01:57:20.000But I'm looking at this like, I've achieved a lot of really cool stuff in my life and there's still this one person in the crowd that I look over and if she's smiling at the joke, I feel corny even fucking saying this, but if she's smiling at the joke, I'm like...
02:01:59.000I have some friends that work in the NBA and they've told me there's specific people that they have to talk to to investigate these things.
02:03:15.000No girl ever says anything bad about this guy.
02:03:17.000So he's probably a good guy or he knows how to make an exit.
02:03:24.000Or he looks like a very strategic dude.
02:03:27.000Maybe he's picking people and going, okay, this girl knows what time it is.
02:03:31.000She doesn't look like a fucking psychopath.
02:03:33.000I think a lot of dudes, when they first start getting pussy, and this is the problem with entertainment, is a lot of fucking losers in this shit, and they first start getting some pussy once they get famous.
02:03:42.000If you didn't get pussy before you're famous, you're going to be in some shit.
02:03:47.000If you got pussy before you're famous, then pussy is not this, like, crazy thing for you.
02:03:51.000And I think that, like, some of those guys who never got any pussy and then they start getting it, I think they resent women a little bit because of it.
02:05:38.000I know a guy who was in a movie at a young age, and it was a big movie, and in the movie there was a very emotional scene where his father was supposed to die, and so before the scene, the guy who plays his father started treating him like shit, and saying mean things to him,
02:05:55.000and abused him, and before that was like real tight with him.
02:05:59.000Was abusing him and saying horrible shit to him and saying that no one likes him.
02:06:03.000And so then the scene starts and this kid is like weeping and crying.
02:06:08.000And they make him go through with the scene.
02:06:10.000See, that's the type of shit and you know that happens.
02:06:12.000You know that happens when they're six.
02:06:13.000They wanted to do that to get the best performance out of the kid.
02:06:17.000But the problem was this kid had this sort of mentor relationship with his older actor.
02:06:22.000And then the older actor is shitting on him.
02:06:25.000Just to make him feel terrible when he goes into this scene.
02:06:28.000And they can't decipher, like, the difference between that shit?
02:07:08.000I'm not saying they're all getting diddled, but something has happened, like what you were describing, like that type of emotional fucking abuse.
02:07:13.000And I know there's systems in play and...
02:07:17.000Which one, someone that was a child actor that's a professor at a community college now, and someone was telling me about it, and I was like, you know what's interesting?
02:07:26.000It's like, we think it's sad, but we wouldn't think it's sad if we just knew a guy was a professor at a community college.
02:07:32.000We'd be like, oh, that's a normal job.
02:08:24.000Now you don't have to earn it anymore.
02:08:25.000You also learn that, oh, if I make people feel good, they feel good, and then I feel good, and that develops a real friendship, and then you You can call on that person, and you have real genuine love with them, and you develop this understanding of human relationships.
02:08:41.000But if you're always the fucking Mac Daddy when you're seven years old, and you're the guy on the set, what is this?
02:10:49.000You're acquiring massive amounts of attention.
02:10:51.000The whole world has to change the way that they refer to you, and you have to change nothing.
02:10:57.000There was a girl on the libs of TikTok that had beads, different color beads that she would wear that indicated which gender she identified with and how she was feeling, because her gender changed multiple times per day.
02:11:12.000So she'll wear the beads, different color beads, to let everybody know where she's at.
02:11:17.000I almost feel like it's like people have social anxiety, and they're just trying to create that for other people.
02:11:22.000Well, I think it's the culture of the climate today with social media where people indulge this kind of nonsense.
02:11:30.000So when normal kids would just pretend that they're psychic, now these kids are pretending that they're a million different genders in one day.
02:12:08.000Madness of Crowds, which is a great book about it.
02:12:10.000But one of the things he said when we were doing a podcast together, he said, at the end of every empire, gender becomes a big subject.
02:12:19.000And the transitioning of genders and the dissolving of traditional gender roles becomes a big part of the end of every empire.
02:12:29.000Whether it's the Romans or the Greeks, they become obsessed with gender.
02:12:33.000And I'm like, why do you think that is?
02:12:35.000I don't know if he had an answer, but people that, they think that maybe it's like life is too easy, so they try to look for things to nitpick on.
02:16:08.000Why did you wait until that day if you believed that that's what these politicians were doing?
02:16:12.000If you really, truly believed it with all your heart.
02:16:16.000Or you were skeptical and you wanted to be part of a community and it was exciting and we all love learning about new, weird, wild shit.
02:16:24.000When we were with Duncan last night and Duncan was like, do you think that there's a black rock underneath Manhattan and that's why the aura?
02:19:37.000If someone's punching you, you have to survive because they're going to knock your ass out.
02:19:41.000But if you're in a fucking ice bath, if you're running, or if you're doing one of these cardio exercises, it's like, I'm deciding to tap out.
02:28:30.000But it's like, I don't know if the ref could even hear me because it's a crowded arena and now he's down and the other fighters pounding on him.
02:28:37.000So I was like, see who was fighting him.
02:28:39.000I'm trying to remember who was fighting.
02:31:07.000You know, I've talked about this before, but if you looked at all of human history, the amount of people that have seen people get the fuck beaten out of them, I am in the upper, like, 1% in all of time.
02:32:49.000They killed a million people and stacked their bodies on top.
02:32:54.000And they had abandoned the road along the way because there were so many rotting corpses in the road that the wheels were sinking into the muck and they couldn't travel.
02:35:45.000When in human history are there a million people together?
02:35:48.000Now we have cities, but back then- This is how wild they were.
02:35:51.000There was talk that on some of these campaigns, when they would run out of food, they would decide who they were going to kill out of their soldiers and then eat them.
02:36:03.000And that's how they fed the rest of their troops.
02:36:05.000So do you think this guy is a psychopath?
02:36:21.000And one of the things that they would do with people that they captured was they would light their bodies on fire and use them as catapults.
02:36:27.000And launch their flaming bodies onto the roofs of these, because they had thatched roofs in these buildings.
02:36:34.000And they would light their buildings on fire with flaming bodies.
02:36:37.000Dude, I'm telling you this, this Dan Carlin, he's got an amazing podcast.
02:38:56.000And then, in turn, what we tried to do is we tried to control and stop Russia from taking over.
02:39:05.000So we armed their freedom fighters, and then the CIA trained Osama bin Laden, and he worked for us, and then eventually decided that we're the devil, and then turned sides.
02:39:51.000And this is what all the Special Forces guys have always warned against.
02:39:55.000There's like, the moment you pull out, they're going to kill all the people that helped us, and then they're going to take over the country.
02:40:02.000Well, guys like Evan Hafer said that having all those troops in there is not the way to go.
02:40:08.000That really, with a trained group of commandos, they could go in there and fuck shit up in a much more precise and tactical way and take care of situations.
02:40:25.000When you get real tinfoil hat, there's people that say, listen, the military-industrial complex wants conflict because that's the only way they're going to make money.
02:40:32.000And when it seems ridiculous that we're over in a country wasting money and putting soldiers' lives at risk, it doesn't make any sense why we're there.
02:41:01.000Again, ladies and gentlemen, this is not me.
02:41:03.000But the real tinfoil hat people, they believe that this is the reason why we're involved in these little, like you sacrifice your rook, right?
02:41:15.000If you are the military industrial complex, and you make untold trillions of dollars over decades and decades, fucking shit up all over the world...
02:41:33.000They become very conflicted because they do realize that in order to protect the freedom over here, you do have to engage with the enemy over there.
02:41:41.000But then you get guys like Schmedley Butler, who in the 1930s wrote a book called War is a Racket.
02:41:49.000And his paper was detailing all of his campaigns that he's involved with, that he thought he was doing the right thing to defend freedom, but really he was making things safe for bankers, and he talked about it in great detail.
02:42:04.000Schmedley Butler wrote that in, what was it, 1935, War is a Racket.
02:42:10.000It's an amazing piece of historical reference, because this guy was writing about this.
02:42:21.000I spent 33 years in active military service, and during that period of time, I spent most of my time as a high-class muscle man for big business, for Wall Street, and the bankers.
02:42:31.000In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.
02:42:50.000It's a little bit of it, but there's still this ability to operate on debt.
02:42:54.000And the interesting thing about war, from what I was reading, is that when there's a war, there's an endless supply of lending, because you can't go broke during a war.
02:43:04.000You just keep on printing, because if we don't win this, we lose everything.
02:43:08.000And as long as there's money in circulation, as long as there's liquidity, The way that this was explained to me by this guy, James Weissman, I think his name is, but he was just like, printing money doesn't necessarily devalue the money.
02:43:20.000What will fuck up our economy is if we stop spending.
02:43:34.000Letting it grind to a halt is the problem.
02:43:36.000And I wonder if, like, I look at all these conflicts and I'm like, okay, war, I guess it's just unlimited spending.
02:43:41.000And I look at, like, the places that we're having war, which seems so peculiar.
02:43:45.000And I'm like, I think there is a spending component, but I also think it's an oil component.
02:43:49.000It's like, are we trying to create conflict so motherfuckers can't make, like, an oil pipeline so they're dependent on, like, us to get oil to different parts of the world?
02:43:59.000I mean, I just think that there's a lot of, like, high-level chess going on in these types of situations and, like, The more I dig into it, like the sadder I fucking get about it, you know, because...
02:44:10.000I don't know if sad is the right word, but the more depressing it is.
02:44:13.000Because I know that there's people out there risking their lives because they're like, I need to save America and I'm willing to die.
02:46:12.000Pull up, Eisenhower, upon leaving office, We're going to grab your headphones because you need to hear this whole thing.
02:46:18.000Upon leaving office, Eisenhower gave one of the most chilling speeches that any...
02:46:25.000In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex.
02:46:37.000You've got a Bernie Sanders one here, bro.
02:46:40.000I was trying to find the shortest one so it doesn't apply a bunch of other stuff.
02:47:12.000And upon leaving, and this is 61, so it's post-World War II, that was ended 13 years ago or so, and he recognized that the military-industrial complex was looking for conflicts so they could make money.
02:47:28.000And he was trying to warn the American people about this.
02:47:31.000So imagine this guy's leaving office, and for him, the most important thing to say to the American people is you have to be fucking careful.
02:48:06.000He's not remembered as this heroic savior or anything.
02:48:08.000I mean, I can't name a single fucking thing Eisenhower did.
02:48:12.000I mean, didn't Eisenhower read us through the war?
02:48:15.000I don't want to do the whole, as a president, I don't want to do the whole, like, we go against the fucking banks and shit, or the Fed, but what is his face that took out the Fed?
02:48:42.000Throughout America's adventure in free government, our basic purposes have been to keep the peace, to foster progress in human achievement, and to enhance liberty, dignity, and integrity among peoples and among nations.
02:48:56.000Progress toward these noble goals is persistently threatened by the conflict now engulfing the world.
02:49:03.000It commands our whole attention, absorbs our very beings, global in scope, atheistic in character, Ruthless in purpose and insidious in method.
02:49:15.000Unhappily, the danger it poses promises to be of indefinite duration.
02:49:21.000To meet it successfully, there is call for not so much the emotional and transitory sacrifices of crisis, but rather those which enable us to carry forward steadily, surely, and without complaint, the burdens of a prolonged and complex struggle With liberty,
02:49:45.000In meeting them, whether foreign or domestic, great or small, there is a recurring temptation to feel that some spectacular and costly action could become the miraculous solution to all current difficulties.
02:49:59.000But each proposal must be weighed in the light of a broader consideration.
02:50:04.000The need to maintain balance in and among national programs.
02:50:10.000Balance between our essential requirements as a nation and the duties imposed by the nation upon the individual.
02:50:18.000Balance between actions of the moment and the national welfare of the future.
02:50:24.000Good judgment seeks balance in progress.
02:50:27.000Lack of it eventually finds imbalance and frustration.
02:50:33.000You and I, my fellow citizens, need to be strong in our faith that all nations under God will reach the goal of peace with justice.
02:50:43.000May we be ever unswerving in devotion to principle, confident but humble with power, diligent in pursuit of the nation's great goals.
02:51:16.000The councils of government we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex.
02:51:25.000The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
02:51:35.000I mean, that guy was trying to explain to people that we need balance because there's a bunch of people that just want to make money by starting wars, and that's real shit.
02:51:48.000Yeah, I feel like people make, I don't know, that's my biggest issue with America right now, is that motherfuckers are willing to sell their souls for any amount of money.
02:53:21.000But also when it comes to movies, I think AMC let China buy up a certain percentage of it.
02:53:25.000And what happens if they start saying, we're not going to show any movies?
02:53:29.000I think about this with the algorithms too.
02:53:33.000All you have to do to change culture is limit the dollar.
02:53:37.000So if AMC goes, we're not going to put any movie that's critical of China in our movie theaters, you're just not going to make it.
02:53:44.000Just like what happened with comedy on TV. There's a certain part of my success is that comedy got so neutered on TV that when I just started throwing shit out on YouTube, people were like, Oh yeah, this is funny!
02:54:00.000And I worry about this shit like when I see the algorithms on the social media platforms, if you start taking down things for bullying or even if it's in the guise of comedy.
02:54:09.000I think YouTube does a good job of this because like when we had Alex on, on YouTube, we put a disclaimer.
02:55:29.000I think if we want to look at things fairly, it has to be a utility.
02:55:32.000I think there's one thing, if someone wants to dox you and tell people where you live and show photos of your kids and go after Andrew's kids, that's wrong.
02:56:08.000I literally had a couple jokes about the thing coming from China and I have these fucking nerd bloggers that of course nobody looks at and I didn't lean into it.
02:56:15.000I didn't make a whole fucking hoopla about it.
02:58:49.000But that behavioral thing, me just opening and looking for the green Spotify icon, that's the game changer.
02:58:57.000Well, the game changer is that Spotify has recognized that everybody else is censoring people.
02:59:01.000And one of the things that Daniel Ek said, he's a brilliant guy, he said, we have millions of content creators on Spotify and we don't attack the rappers for their lyrics and we don't attack Joe Rogan for whatever he says.
02:59:15.000We give him creative control and he's never violated any of our terms of agreements.
02:59:19.000That's the funniest thing about like, I mean, I know there's a lot of controversy with this DaBaby thing going on, but like all these festivals pretending like they give a fuck about what the artists say.
02:59:27.000Yeah, they're Halliburton with the fucking rainbow flag.
03:01:26.000But, you know, the whole fucking pipe and the smoking jacket thing, but back in the day, he was the guy that had the Playboy Club, and it was on television, and he would introduce people to different artists and musicians.
03:01:45.000It's just such a weird thing, like naked girls.
03:04:29.000I feel so bad saying this, but if ever there's a friend of mine that's on OnlyFans or someone I kind of know from the peripheral, I go right to Reddit and it's there, dude.
03:04:38.000So is Reddit or is OnlyFans for people that don't know how to use the real internet?
03:05:12.000They take all your pictures, fly to LA, do all the things, and then they have people who interact with your fans and talk sexy to them and say, I can't wait to see you.
03:05:22.000So they keep you engaged and then you fucking fall in love with them.
03:08:13.000Yeah, Tom Segura has cultivated these guys fisting each other where they have anal prolapses and then they pull the prolapses out and rub them against each other.
03:08:26.000Those your mom's house lives are the wildest fucking thing on the internet.
03:08:32.000Because it's shit he could never get away with showing on the podcast.
03:08:36.000But people pay for it and then they put it up and then he has a website where you download it and you get up to like a month afterwards or whatever.
03:09:12.000And he does it once a month, and he has a whole infrastructure dedicated to it to make sure that it downloads smooth, and they've built sets, and they hire producers.
03:09:22.000They hire people that used to work for SNL and shit, and know how to run shows.
