Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
00:00:13.000
So my mom and my stepdad were super fat when I was in high school, and their favorite spot was claim jumpers.
00:00:20.000
Because of the pork, you can get a lot of food!
00:00:33.000
And, yeah, it was like a slice of chocolate cake that was this.
00:00:42.000
You know, in the marriage, when you stop having sex, you just eat.
00:00:49.000
It gets to that weird place where it's like, what are we doing?
00:00:57.000
It's like, if you get to that spot where you're not having sex anymore.
00:01:05.000
My husband will hold me down and make it happen.
00:01:09.000
I swear, Tommy can have a fever, and he's like, are we going?
00:01:15.000
But if you're, oh my god, the worst is when you're in a relationship with someone, and you stop banging, and you know when you live with them, and then you fucking hear them come in, and you're like, oh, this motherfucker's here.
00:01:30.000
Yeah, when people either grow together or they grow apart.
00:01:34.000
And if they grow apart and they're still together, that's fucking terrible.
00:01:42.000
You have, like, some shithead that you work with, but they're in your house.
00:01:46.000
You know, like, there's, like, that shithead at the office, like, oh, this fucking annoying asshole.
00:02:03.000
I mean, you hope that your marriage, that that person is intellectually curious enough and introspective enough that they want to grow, right?
00:02:25.000
And like, the whole time, you know, I have two little boys.
00:02:29.000
So I'm like, how do I raise these boys to not be into that?
00:02:43.000
Also, I think he was in a real loving relationship before with the mother of his child.
00:02:48.000
You know, he's married and then left for this crazy bitch.
00:02:52.000
And I think that when you do that, like, you expect relationships to be like the original relationship that you had.
00:03:06.000
Like, she kept files on him and threatened to tell everyone everything.
00:03:10.000
Like, what do you think you have on Paul McCartney?
00:03:37.000
I remember being like, yeah, yeah, okay, let's start.
00:03:40.000
Absolutely, there's a need for that in society.
00:03:47.000
What's that lady who killed her kid in Florida?
00:04:03.000
This whole, like, male versus woman thing, like, oh, it's so crazy.
00:04:08.000
And the ones who propagate that, the women who prop that up, are the most insane.
00:04:14.000
They're the most insane and the ones who hate women the most.
00:04:17.000
The female comedians that I know that go and attack men whenever anything happens and try to support women, those girls hate women.
00:04:31.000
But they can find support in attacking a piece of shit man.
00:04:37.000
Yeah, it's an easy thing to rally around and get support.
00:04:40.000
No one's going to be like, let's defend the rapist.
00:04:47.000
If you're going to be a murderer, be Dexter or serial killers.
00:04:54.000
They always rally around stuff that people are like, yeah, well, duh.
00:05:01.000
As I said, I'm raising two little boys, so I'm like, I can't hate dudes.
00:05:07.000
I don't think you have to worry about them getting roped into a bad little boy.
00:05:11.000
With you two in the house, first of all, they're constantly hearing bullshit being broken down and shit on, right?
00:05:22.000
So the things that are nonsense, it's really hard to sneak them by my kids because they're like, what?
00:05:35.000
See, that's the essence of it, because as I'm raising my kids, I'm like, what is the secret sauce here?
00:05:41.000
We all know some of the most successful motherfuckers got bad grades, right?
00:05:47.000
It's about thinking clearly and the ability to think and go, ah, that's not true.
00:05:56.000
And to do what your peers aren't doing, you know?
00:06:06.000
Like they have to do things that are difficult.
00:06:08.000
Like sports are really good for boys because it forces you to work hard and you understand that effort actually equals reward.
00:06:19.000
People don't like sports because they think of sports as being connected to jocks and assholes and bullies, but the reality is those difficult social interactions and then the physical struggle of athletics, especially one versus one athletics.
00:06:41.000
Because if that guy fucking whacks that ball by you, he got you.
00:06:45.000
That ball goes flying by, and you're like, fuck!
00:06:48.000
Maybe if you were in a little better shape, you would have knocked it back in hand.
00:06:52.000
Maybe you practiced a little more, you had a little more strategy, you know, a little more training.
00:07:00.000
And you'd work harder, and then one day you'd beat him.
00:07:17.000
They also have a really hard time with other people being successful.
00:07:36.000
All these negative feelings that we're trying to protect children from, it's the secret sauce.
00:07:42.000
Yeah, it feels bad, but that's also what gets you out of bed and gets you going.
00:07:49.000
Oh my god, so I'm obsessed with French culture right now because I want to age gracefully.
00:07:58.000
I don't want to be just like a fat American wife, dude.
00:08:38.000
So anyway, I like to get comfortable and talk to you.
00:08:41.000
So I was reading about French culture, and do you know that in France, they don't even sell, like, size 10 or 12 clothing?
00:08:52.000
Especially women, like, after you have a baby, your mother or your friends will be like, are you gonna...
00:08:59.000
But they're not known for being into, like, physical fitness, though.
00:09:05.000
Like the men, you can tell they're kind of, they have that body.
00:09:13.000
You just have to be anorexic and then you like, I like to walk or I maybe swim.
00:09:17.000
I do a little bit of swimming, whatever gives me pleasure.
00:09:27.000
That's the side of that, like, only wanting pleasure.
00:09:58.000
The thing about that is, no, they feed it grain.
00:10:00.000
They put a tube down its mouth and feed it grain.
00:10:03.000
The thing about that is, though, everybody says, oh my God, that's awful.
00:10:10.000
The ducks actually go towards the force feeder.
00:10:16.000
Yeah, it's not like they run away and hide like a dog that's being beaten or anything like that.
00:10:21.000
It's like they actually go towards the force feeder.
00:10:30.000
You know, I read all his books and I watched his shows and I felt...
00:10:36.000
I'm not into celebrities, but I felt so connected to that guy.
00:10:56.000
That was one of those ones where I really felt like if I was around him, I could have helped.
00:11:06.000
I felt like that guy needed someone Someone rigid, someone be like, hey man, you're gonna be fucking fine.
00:11:21.000
You hitched your fucking train to the wrong caboose.
00:11:26.000
You got a crazy bitch in your life, and it's not good.
00:11:31.000
Who falls in love with the romantic notion of the wild woman.
00:11:35.000
You know, you want this wild, independent, you know, tattooed fucking rebel.
00:11:54.000
He liked a certain kind of music that inspired this rebellious soul.
00:12:08.000
He was a wild dude, and he loved the idea of a woman like that, but I don't think he knew what a woman like that really is.
00:12:33.000
You can't just only concentrate on the pretty feathers.
00:12:55.000
If you're a single guy, you need a burner phone, a.k.a.
00:12:58.000
a hoe phone, and you don't give them your real phone number, and you hang out with them occasionally, and you frustrate them, and they talk shit about you in interviews, and that's fine.
00:13:08.000
It's funny, because I had a few chaos boyfriends before I met my husband.
00:13:14.000
And, you know, the guy that's like, oh, he doesn't call you for four days.
00:13:20.000
And then you go over there and he's like, I rearranged all my furniture because he was high on meth for four days.
00:13:28.000
And the sex is exciting because they're out of their fucking minds.
00:13:34.000
And I think that's what's so alluring about these psychos.
00:13:55.000
And then real love, when you get married, is about, you know, your husband peeing on you in the shower and laughing or, like, trimming his beard in the sink.
00:14:03.000
I think you're only talking about real love with Tommy.
00:14:13.000
If I peed on my wife in the shower, she'd smack me in the face.
00:14:29.000
So you don't, yeah, like Tommy is just so gross.
00:14:32.000
But you need someone who is willing to work like you're willing to work.
00:14:40.000
And like on being a good person, on being kind and understanding and considerate of you and your feelings and the way they talk to you.
00:14:47.000
When you see people and like their spouse, like the man will insult the woman or the woman will insult the man, like that kind of relationship is so...
00:15:07.000
And if I have something to say that's unsympathetic, I tell them, I'm sorry I have to tell you this.
00:15:18.000
Like, we could all give in to the impulse, like you're annoyed at something.
00:15:22.000
Maybe you didn't get enough sleep, or you're tired, or you're hungover, or whatever, and someone's being annoying, like, shut the fuck up, you fucking idiot!
00:15:35.000
And, like, Tommy's not an abusive guy, but he might become one.
00:15:45.000
Yeah, he'd probably, like, start backing on you.
00:16:00.000
You didn't put your blinkers on, you fucking idiot!
00:16:05.000
But it's also that thing, familiarity breeds contempt.
00:16:11.000
And part of it is because they're not comfortable in their own skin.
00:16:14.000
And so they start seeing all the things that are annoying about you.
00:16:20.000
And you lose that fun of the beginning part of the relationship where you talk to each other about stuff.
00:16:38.000
You know, I think that's the huge beauty of being like middle-aged now is you go like, oh dude, this whole thing, no one's giving a fuck about you.
00:16:48.000
This whole thing could have been avoided if I was a better person.
00:16:58.000
Your drama, because you've got your lenses on, and then you're like, this guy's fucking with me.
00:17:05.000
He's just chewing his gum, and he's looking at the monitor.
00:17:09.000
The crazier people get, the more they think that people are plotting against them.
00:17:18.000
Like, that's it taken to the worst level of mental illness.
00:17:22.000
But even like minor level of mental illness, like, oh, she's doing that to annoy me.
00:17:31.000
Like, the fork doesn't hit the plate through the meat because she hates you.
00:17:39.000
I mean, you're like, ah, do you have to make that fucking noise every time you put your fork into the meat?
00:17:48.000
When people are so upset with their own life and they're so unsatisfied and unfulfilled and they start finding flaws in everything else, but generally speaking, a lot of that has to do with yourself.
00:18:01.000
With my output, if I'm worked out, I've stretched, I've meditated, everything's going great.
00:18:08.000
I'm so much more compassionate and so much more caring about other people.
00:18:18.000
It's like, oh, maybe they're just not getting by good, or maybe it's an error in thinking.
00:18:30.000
That's also, I think, a function of being a parent.
00:18:37.000
I feel sorry for people that decide that kids are just like a waste of time and effort.
00:18:46.000
And you know what's interesting is that I think...
00:18:51.000
I bought into feminism hardcore when I was in college.
00:18:55.000
I was the angry feminist and I was like, I can't have kids.
00:19:02.000
If I have a kid, I'm going to focus on them and my career is going to die.
00:19:06.000
And then I was like, I've had two boys and since then...
00:19:10.000
It's been a rocket ship because they make you better.
00:19:34.000
I mean, who would you let in your life lay on you and vomit on you all night?
00:19:40.000
Jamie, I would tell him to go in the other room.
00:19:51.000
Like, I remember having a conversation with a buddy of mine.
00:19:59.000
And he goes, well, you know, I have a dog and I really love my dog.
00:20:08.000
I would shoot him and cook him if my children were hungry.
00:20:16.000
But, you know, Manny Pacquiao, when he was a boy, his parents didn't have any food and they killed their dog.
00:20:36.000
But that's like letting everybody know this is next step between eating the neighbor.
00:20:57.000
It's like you have to decide, do you want to eat your dog or would you rather starve to death?
00:21:03.000
It's a moral decision at a certain point, but it becomes a survival decision.
00:21:08.000
And when it becomes a survival decision, you start thinking with your lizard brain.
00:21:30.000
They do that because they realize there's a certain level of comfort that we all have in a normal, functioning Western society where it's fairly good access to food as long as you keep your job, you can pay your rent.
00:21:45.000
It seems hard for most people, but in comparison to hunter-gatherer life in the fucking Serengeti, it's cush.
00:21:53.000
I remember my parents escaped from communist Hungary, right?
00:21:56.000
And so I grew up around hardcore Hungarian dudes, like dudes missing knuckles who were like carpenters.
00:22:10.000
One of my dad's friends was like, listen, Cristico, in America, this is the easiest place to live, okay?
00:22:18.000
You rent some car, your clothing is cheap, eating is cheap compared to other countries.
00:22:29.000
And then you travel and you're like, dude, this is kind of good.
00:22:33.000
This is an expression that I say all the time, but I'm going to say it again.
00:22:36.000
The hardest thing that's ever happened to you is the hardest thing that's ever happened to you.
00:22:42.000
If it's a very small thing, like you can't get a table in a restaurant and you throw a hissy fit.
00:22:47.000
Because that's the hardest thing that's happened to you today.
00:22:51.000
But if you're coming from a communist country, and that's one of the things that I always liked about you, is because your family did come from that hard...
00:23:00.000
That's why, because you see where bullshit gets you.
00:23:02.000
Or all this fucking Marxism and socialism and colleges, you know where that gets you?
00:23:07.000
That gets you to a communist fucking ruling dictatorship where you're doomed and the government decides how many potatoes you get in a week.
00:23:14.000
And look at all these assholes that want to tell you what you can and cannot say.
00:23:23.000
I think one of the greatest things is Elon Musk buying Twitter.
00:23:38.000
They're going to keep pushing the boundary because that's what the culture war is.
00:23:42.000
The culture war is just like we were talking about, you know, people that just decide to be upset at something rather than focusing on themselves.
00:23:53.000
The inside this is it their mental patients and they're externalizing their shit onto the world It's like what what is this and we're giving this a voice?
00:24:03.000
But think about yourself when you were in high school or you were in college when you were a feminist College college, you know that those thoughts but those thoughts like they're valid thoughts like you you're saying this because you see so much of the outside life that you don't like you see so much of like Women are being disrespected just simply because they're female or they're not being taken seriously because they're female.
00:24:31.000
And you think of that because you're on team woman, because you're a woman.
00:24:33.000
It's like this normal sort of course of progression.
00:24:36.000
And then as life goes on, you're like, oh, it's not a male versus female thing.
00:25:16.000
Because it's the energy that's responsible for the vast majority of inventions.
00:25:22.000
But then the other side of that, as I become mother and blah, blah, blah, is to realize the power in that.
00:25:28.000
And I think the mistake of my thinking in the past is that that didn't have merit.
00:25:36.000
I think that's culture's failure because it's not put in a category of like, you know, you could mark it on a ledger.
00:25:43.000
Like, look at all this money that comes in from being a mom.
00:25:48.000
Because it's not calculated by a, quote, male standard of achievement.
00:25:57.000
Follow the dollars and you'll see where the bullshit goes.
00:26:03.000
The woman is the center of the fucking universe.
00:26:04.000
Well, you literally create all the human beings that have ever existed.
00:26:09.000
But in this stupid world where everybody's just concentrating on material possessions and advancing and keeping up with the Joneses, that doesn't seem like for a lot of men, my wife does bad money.
00:26:23.000
You know, like they get into this sort of mindset where they don't respect that this is a completely different relationship with human beings.
00:26:39.000
If there's a fucking door in the mountain, they're making them in the mountain.
00:27:05.000
So we think of money as being the most significant thing that a person does with their effort.
00:27:12.000
But raising children is not just equally significant, but more significant.
00:27:17.000
Because if your kids are a nightmare, you lose money.
00:27:20.000
If your kids are a nightmare, your life is shit.
00:27:25.000
Because if you do a terrible job in raising your children, on the flip side of that, you're going to have all sorts of chaos in your life because of that.
00:27:33.000
If you ignore your kids, like look at Hunter Biden.
00:27:42.000
Too busy being the fucking vice president and the senator from Delaware.
00:27:50.000
Poor little hunters alone with a crack pipe and a fucking box of kiddie porn.
00:28:00.000
Someone told me this great saying, pay now or pay later with children.
00:28:05.000
You know, there's this great viral clip that Jordan Peterson has where he's like, you have little kids for four years.
00:28:19.000
And it changed me and it transformed me and it made me a better human being.
00:28:30.000
You guys have a great relationship in that you don't have any career conflicts, and you also have one career, very successful thing that you do together, your mom's house.
00:28:47.000
It's amazing that you guys have that together and it's so fun.
00:28:52.000
Like you have your touring and he has his touring and then you're raising children together and it's fucking great.
00:29:09.000
I think what you do is so important to so many people.
00:29:12.000
And I'm so lucky that you were in our lives and are in our lives.
00:29:19.000
When I saw you, I was like, you guys 100% should be doing a podcast together.
00:29:28.000
And I remember Tom came home from that discussion.
00:29:39.000
I mean, you, but here's what's, and I tell people about, I tell people this about you.
00:29:44.000
The brilliance of you, amongst many things, you're a very diligent worker, you're a great comedian, you're fucking in it, like you're doing, but that you've also been an early adapter.
00:30:00.000
And, you know, Joe Rogan buys the first cell phone that's like the brick.
00:30:04.000
And I heard this great story about you on the road where the guy goes, well, yeah, I needed a comic to fill in last minute.
00:30:11.000
And I go, oh, well, Joe Rogan has a phone, a cell phone that he carries around.
00:30:19.000
That's Bill Blumenwright from the Comedy Works or from Comedy Connection in Boston.
00:30:32.000
It was in the middle between the two seats of my car.
00:30:36.000
Did you have to take it out every time you left?
00:30:45.000
Do you remember the fucking stereos that you had to pull out?
00:30:52.000
Yeah, because you don't want to be stealing your stereo.
00:30:54.000
So it literally would slide out and slide back in.
00:31:00.000
Well, people broke into a lot of fucking cars back then, sold stereos.
00:31:12.000
You just go back there, you climb underneath it.
00:31:15.000
Get in the wires and pull them out and splice them together, duct tape around it.
00:31:27.000
We had an auto shop in school and I learned a lot about cars.
00:31:38.000
And he actually is the guy that really got me into Mustangs and old cars.
00:31:49.000
And he would show you how to fix a quarter panel.
00:31:54.000
Yeah, it was back in the day when you could do that kind of thing.
00:31:57.000
You know, I don't know what kind of work you could actually do in your car today because cars today are so complex.
00:32:03.000
They're all computers and there's, you know, so many, you know, there's navigation systems and there's fucking auto, you know, anti-lock breakings where it's braking like thousands of times a minute.
00:32:18.000
Back then it was like real clear, like the rotors are down, let's change the rotors.
00:32:22.000
We got this, we need to, you know, this radiator's no good, let's get another radiator.
00:32:25.000
We would go to a junkyard, get parts, he would do that.
00:32:29.000
And he would bring them back and we would work on cars.
00:32:32.000
It was like one of our, it was also a thing where just because of human nature, it was an all guys class.
00:32:40.000
It wasn't that girls weren't allowed to do it, they'd never signed up for it.
00:32:48.000
My dad was a forklift mechanic, and I would beg him, I want to learn how to fix a forklift.
00:33:08.000
Yeah, that's one of the things that I really like about muscle cars.
00:33:15.000
Because now the muscle cars that I get, they're all what's called a resto mod.
00:33:20.000
So they'll take an old car, but they'll put new brakes in it, new suspension, new engines.
00:33:27.000
They handle better, you know, new steering components.
00:33:31.000
They're much more safe and much more manageable in terms of day-to-day use, but they look and feel and sound just like an old car, which is what I love.
00:33:46.000
I love that he loves the vroom vrooms because he and I are like the ones like, like if I buy something, I send it to him.
00:33:53.000
You guys with your, you get your schmeckles hard looking at pictures of, that's why I say I'm like, Tom can't get a new wife but he can get a new car.
00:34:00.000
And he loves, he doesn't scroll like chicks, he scrolls cars.
00:34:10.000
He's like, put it on this mode when you drive it.
00:34:12.000
If it doesn't make my schmeckle hard, it's not for me.
00:34:14.000
When I met him, he was like 15 years ago, like 2007-ish, I think it was.
00:34:36.000
He's brilliant with business, and he's a brilliant comedian.
00:34:47.000
Like, we were watching this awful show about John Gacy.
00:34:51.000
I don't like murder things, but he's like, babe, it's great, watch it.
00:34:54.000
And I fell asleep, and he goes, let me catch you up on what happened.
00:34:57.000
And his ability to recall facts, like, and then he dressed up as a clown, and then they sat on his lap, and I was like...
00:35:05.000
Like, his mind is so able to—you can ask Tommy, hey, what was it like 2015, we did this thing?
00:35:13.000
Well, you sat here, and then—like, his recall ability.
00:35:19.000
I don't even know what I fucking ate this morning.
00:35:21.000
But don't you have mommy brain, though, a little bit?
00:35:28.000
And you have these two humans that you have to take care of more than anything.
00:35:36.000
And he's always like, you don't remember I told you that?
00:35:39.000
Like, I gotta remember that fucking Friday is snack day at school and we had a pack.
00:35:44.000
Yeah, I have a good memory instead, but only on things that I'm interested in.
00:35:49.000
My wife will tell me stuff and I'm like, I don't remember talking about that.
00:35:53.000
I'm like, you must have been boring the shit out of me.
00:35:58.000
I have the ability to go into like background mode.
00:36:17.000
I have to talk to her like I'm talking to you right now.
00:36:23.000
Or could you imagine being with someone that you have to censor yourself in front of?
00:36:31.000
I'm so thankful I can just say crazy shit to Tommy.
00:36:33.000
Well, because they haven't found the right person, instead they found a person and they've got the person to act like the right person.
00:36:43.000
No, because you're always trying to meld that person and conform that person to your idea of what a person should be.
00:36:49.000
And they're always trying to conform to your idea and pretend.
00:36:52.000
As soon as they get away from you, they can't wait to hit the pipe.
00:37:03.000
I heard that crack is not as fun as you think it is.
00:37:15.000
But let me tell you, so we knew this guy that smoked a lot of crack, and he's like, yeah, I get it.
00:37:26.000
Imagine if that's like the favorite thing of the day.
00:37:31.000
I was looking through that little fucking distorted fisheye lens of the hallway.
00:37:41.000
Well, also, there's enough videos online of people knocking on people's doors and trying to break in that freak out.
00:37:52.000
I mean, I don't know if we should talk about this.
00:38:19.000
I think at this point in her life, that is all she's got in terms of like her connection to a lot of attention.
00:38:40.000
I heard too many bad things about it, except for Jamie.
00:38:43.000
But even admits his own opinion suspect because he loves The Matrix.
00:38:50.000
I wanted it to be good because I really liked the Matrix.
00:38:59.000
It's also you used to have a pretty decent career and you really don't anymore.
00:39:07.000
And then you got to fill that lack of engagement with something else.
00:39:13.000
So you do this thing where you start talking about your family or you do a reality show.
00:39:16.000
One of the things that people do, it's like the last gasp of the dying celebrity presence.
00:39:27.000
But the reality show is the scary one because you let people into your family and then you're like, nah.
00:39:33.000
Play acting around your wife and your kids and your friend who comes over to play fucking pickleball with you and is like trying to make a thing out of a gamble that you have on pickleball.
00:39:43.000
And if you've ever been a part of one of those reality shows, they did one at the store for a while.
00:39:53.000
Yeah, but they had like these scenarios all planned out like we're gonna go to get something to lunch We're gonna go to get Mexican food, but the wait's too long We go to here and then we're gonna eventually settle on Chinese But Polly's gonna say Chinese first and then it's gonna go through all these different things until we eventually decide on Chinese It's like like what are you doing?
00:40:12.000
But they they had to treat it like they would most of these people that produce these shows and I've worked on them before and They produce it the same way they would produce fiction.
00:40:20.000
Like we'd like to have an outcome that we can control.
00:40:25.000
The outcome is you go out all this and you guys are going to argue about you went to this place and the gas is too expensive.
00:40:31.000
But yeah, and I was on road rules in the 90s back when it was like...
00:42:07.000
How many memes is this going to make right now?
00:42:23.000
I guess I hold it like a cigar more than a cigarette.
00:42:47.000
Any kind of crime is great when it's going great.
00:42:56.000
I like stuff guys like, but I'm now embracing my feminine side.
00:43:04.000
I think that's why your mom's house is fun, because it's just farts and stuff.
00:43:14.000
When you watch those videos, like, it's a brilliant idea, by the way.
00:43:17.000
What you guys did by coming up with this show where, and having watched them and be a part of them, been a part of them, there is not a fucking chance in hell you could do that in any other format.
00:43:34.000
Some of the things these people are doing to their own bodies are so fucked up.
00:43:38.000
And you're watching guys eat bowls of shit, like actual bowls, like digging with their hands and eating their own shit.
00:43:53.000
I don't know if you've ever seen that documentary that Todd Phillips did on Gigi Allen.
00:43:56.000
I did not see the documentary, but I'm aware of him.
00:44:05.000
And I'm so blessed that we have podcasting now that I can do a whole show on that.
00:44:10.000
I don't have to take notes from a fucking executive.
00:44:12.000
I don't have to sell General Electric advertising.
00:44:19.000
If you guys had bosses and you were on some sort of a network that controlled what was aired, and then you told them the story about the idea for the pay-per-view shows, we're going to do something that's literally illegal.
00:44:34.000
There's a guy that's going to staple his balls.
00:44:42.000
And it's like, watching them with you guys is so much fun.
00:44:48.000
Like, when you guys put those up, and Tommy was telling me how many people download them, I'm like, whoa!
00:44:53.000
And he's like, but yeah, we have a whole organization.
00:45:02.000
When I went to the live one I did with you guys, I'm like, holy shit.
00:45:16.000
When I did reality shows in the 90s, after I did Road Rules, I was like, gosh, wouldn't it be great to just make a living being myself?
00:45:24.000
And then I got into acting after, and I hated it.
00:45:26.000
I hated going on these auditions and I had to say stupid things.
00:45:30.000
And then came podcasting, and I was like, oh, I get rewarded for being a degenerate?
00:45:35.000
You're not even just being a degenerate, you're just being fun.
00:45:37.000
Yeah, just having fun, because life should be fun.
00:45:39.000
Degenerate is a person who loses all their income to a craps game.
00:45:57.000
But when I went to high school, I was in this nice area in Boston.
00:46:02.000
I was in a really shit area in Boston when I was 13. We lived in Jamaica Plains.
00:46:08.000
But thankfully, my parents realized it was sketchy.
00:46:10.000
They'd come there from Florida, like, this neighborhood's dangerous, and they got us out of there.
00:46:21.000
We had, like, the shittiest house in the neighborhood, and we were poor as fuck.
00:46:29.000
But then I was always involved in either fighting.
00:46:33.000
I was either involved in martial arts or stand-up comedy.
00:46:36.000
So from 15 on, it was all either martial arts, which is a bunch of psychos, or stand-up comedy, which is a bunch of psychos on drugs.
00:46:46.000
So it's like I've never had, there was never a time where I was like in some normal path to, you know, having a white picket fence and living in the suburbs and getting to work every morning, same time as everybody else and having office meetings.
00:47:10.000
I finally got to go to the Comedy Store when I was in LA last week, and it was like, oh my god, I'm home.
00:47:16.000
But there's so many things missing now, you know, like Jeff Scott is gone, which broke my heart.
00:47:23.000
It's definitely not the same, but it's still the best.
00:47:47.000
And I'm seeing a lot of dudes doing like, oh, like even this special tonight, just released, Mom Jeans, shameless plug, yes.
00:47:56.000
So the LA Times did an article on it and she was like, whoa, you went hard.
00:48:03.000
And she's like, is there anything that didn't make it?
00:48:06.000
I had to cut stuff out and it's going in the next hour.
00:48:14.000
With, you know, censorship and that kind of stuff.
00:48:17.000
Well, there's a lot of complaining people that wouldn't have liked you in the first place.
00:48:20.000
And you can't let them decide what you're going to do and not do on stage.
00:48:30.000
There's a lot of people that fall into patterns of thinking and they want to control other people's patterns of thinking as well.
00:48:37.000
They fall into patterns of thinking and they'd like you all to align with their pattern of thinking.
00:48:45.000
Yeah, whether it's conservative or whether it's liberal and progressive, it's like people, there's a lot of people out there that have good intentions, but then there's also a lot of people out there that just are, there's a predictable pattern of human behavior.
00:48:56.000
And that pattern of human behavior is they like to tell other people what to do.
00:49:00.000
And part of their fun is getting other people to comply and getting other people in trouble, getting other people fired.
00:49:09.000
But it's a natural pattern of weak-minded human behavior from people that are generally not good at things.
00:49:19.000
The people that are doing that, the people that are always wanting to tell people what to do or always wanting to get people in trouble, they're never good at anything.
00:49:34.000
If they were concentrating on other things, they'd be good at that.
00:49:41.000
If you're always around sick people, you're going to be sick too.
00:49:52.000
It's a focusing on other people and trying to chip away at them or crack them down or get them to comply or get them to fall in line or get them to follow orders.
00:50:02.000
There was a lot of that going on during the pandemic.
00:50:09.000
So, like, I went to San Francisco and there's still people wearing N95s in the street, like, walking out in the fresh air.
00:50:21.000
And also, too, the signs of, like, stop hate, only love or whatever.
00:50:29.000
Put this sign in like Shreveport, Louisiana or Birmingham.
00:50:35.000
This is the city where it's the most accepting.
00:50:59.000
But, you know, you can only spend so much time thinking about that and spend time thinking about what people like.
00:51:13.000
You're not going to pretend that everything you say is what you actually fucking mean.
00:51:37.000
But I did get to see Whitney at the Paramount, too.
00:51:53.000
You know, sometimes comics, they hit like a stride.
00:51:57.000
I remember running to Sebastian once, when Sebastian hit his stride.
00:52:06.000
Whatever you did, fucking kudos, because you got a stride now.
00:52:12.000
Whitney's always been really good, but right now she's in a stride.
00:52:19.000
Oh, I don't want to fuck up her bits, but like pertinent, you know, issues of the day, life, you know, there's a lot.
00:52:30.000
It's really good shit, but it was really funny.
00:52:35.000
You know, like when a comic like catches that wave, you know, they just start having fun.
00:52:45.000
Well, that was one of the best things about the store is that we would all be having fun with each other.
00:52:49.000
And then we'd all be laughing in the back of the room and having fun.
00:52:53.000
Well, so this hour that's out now, I... I was like, fuck it, I'm having fun.
00:52:59.000
And I did it in New York City, and it was like the height of COVID. And anyway, it felt sad.
00:53:05.000
Did the people have to wear masks in the audience?
00:53:10.000
And then they tested me every two minutes before.
00:53:13.000
Even if I am positive, I'm still going to shoot this thing.
00:53:15.000
This is so much money going into this and people.
00:53:21.000
I bought the audience shots before I performed on both shows.
00:53:38.000
I bought the entire theater shots for the first and the second.
00:53:44.000
Because everybody was all bummed out on the night before.
00:53:47.000
And I was like, I'm not going to have you guys all bummed out.
00:53:58.000
So I bought them all shots and then my stylist invoiced Netflix for the outfit that I wore.
00:54:05.000
And they go, we've never spent this much money on an outfit.
00:54:17.000
Dude, if I saw that picture, I would not know that's you.
00:54:22.000
I have a team of five Latin gay guys that made me look amazing.
00:54:31.000
Like, that picture, I could tell it's you, right there.
00:54:34.000
And that one there where you got the microphone, the two hands, yeah.
00:54:37.000
But that other one, they picked one where it was like a very odd facial expression.
00:54:45.000
You see yourself and you're like, is that even me?
00:54:55.000
But I wanted fun and I wanted to be silly and I don't give a shit anymore because we're all going to die and who fucking cares, right?
00:55:01.000
My wife said you had one of the best sets she's ever seen.
00:55:07.000
She came back, she was ranting and raving when she came home.
00:55:19.000
When you guys started coming out here, and then when Tony came out here, and Tim Dillon came out here, and a few other guys like Derek Poston, I was like, wow, I think we can fucking do something here.
00:55:31.000
And Ron White was here, and Roseanne just did Vulcan the other night.
00:55:35.000
First, she killed, and she goes into the green room immediately.
00:55:44.000
She hadn't been on stage in years since all the controversy with her show, which was years ago.
00:55:57.000
The timing, you would never believe she hadn't been on stage.
00:56:04.000
And she goes, well, I had some things I wanted to talk about, but I want to fucking do that again.
00:56:13.000
It was really interesting because it was interesting to watch all of her excitement come alive, you know, and then go on the stage.
00:56:21.000
And when she went up there, they went ape shit.
00:56:34.000
She's, in my opinion, one of the most important figures in the history of stand-up comedy.
00:56:40.000
Because she was the first woman who killed like a man.
00:56:47.000
There was nothing demure and feminine about it.
00:56:52.000
She grabbed her own pussy when she sang the Star Spangled Banner.
00:57:12.000
I'm telling you, she hadn't done stand-up in forever, and she walked up there like she'd been doing it every weekend.
00:57:29.000
And if we could talk her into coming here all the time, that would be amazing.
00:57:37.000
Yeah, she grabbed her pussy and then spit on the ground.
00:57:47.000
When she first burst on the scene, it was literally like a female Kinnison.
00:57:53.000
Because when Kinnison came on the scene, everybody was like, What?
00:58:00.000
When she burst on the scene, it was a similar thing.
00:58:02.000
Like, whoa, that's a woman telling you to suck her dick.
00:58:17.000
Well, there was a lot of people in that era, that 80s era of comedy that are just goddamn legends.
00:58:29.000
And it was so cool because I got to watch that family.
00:58:34.000
I think she just had her special come out when I met Jenny, her daughter.
00:58:38.000
And then I didn't know that people could be fun like that.
00:58:41.000
I would go over to their house and they would have a fake spaghetti dish that the fork was suspended in the air.
00:58:51.000
Like, you can just have something silly on your coffee table?
00:58:55.000
And I would just go there and just watch them talk and banter, and the whole family's so brilliant.
00:59:01.000
And I was like, oh, this is what life can be like.
00:59:07.000
Yeah, well, if you're lucky, you know, that's your family.
00:59:13.000
Some people have families where people are just constantly in agony.
00:59:19.000
That's a fucking bummer when you have a friend and you go to visit them at the house and people yelling at each other and you gotta get them out the door.
00:59:29.000
I remember those feelings when I was a kid of not understanding.
00:59:33.000
First of all, there was no real clear understanding that I was ever going to be an adult.
00:59:46.000
Remember when you used to think that there were real grown-ups?
00:59:49.000
That one day you'd be like, now I'm a grown-up, and everything makes sense.
00:59:55.000
And one day I was at a grocery store, and the guy goes, paper or plastic, sir?
01:00:00.000
I realized, to him, I think at the time I was in my 20s, I was like, to him, I'm a 28-year-old man, and I'm a man, and he's a kid still.
01:00:15.000
And when you're a little kid and you see adults, maybe your friend's dad's an alcoholic and he comes home screaming and the wife has to lock herself in the closet, that kind of shit.
01:00:31.000
Could I become a raging crackhead and lose everything?
01:00:37.000
People, they find out that their dad gambled the house away.
01:00:40.000
I know quite a few people like that, where their family was like heavy-duty gamblers.
01:00:53.000
Because you only get it up so many times in a day.
01:01:24.000
Sex doesn't kill you, but it can severely distract you from all the other things you want to do and can be just, you could turn into a creep.
01:01:41.000
Yeah, because that can lead you into drugs, too.
01:01:44.000
Oh, but the sex thing can get you with some Amber Heard bitches.
01:01:50.000
I would say with Johnny, that's a love addiction.
01:02:06.000
Meaning that when I was first on TV, nobody had any idea who the fuck I was.
01:02:12.000
And then I was on news radio, nobody knew who I was.
01:02:15.000
I could kind of get through, like sometimes people would recognize me, very rarely.
01:02:22.000
And then UFC stuff and then the podcast is the biggest thing ever.
01:02:26.000
But of all those things, it's been like a slow...
01:02:29.000
Like if I just had the podcast when I was 25, I would have fucked my life up.
01:02:39.000
So Johnny Depp was famous, more famous than I've ever been when he was 20. And he was hot.
01:03:04.000
Can you imagine how much he was getting laid back then?
01:03:20.000
So if you're like that when you're- I mean, how old was he then?
01:03:24.000
So what are the chances that that guy has personal sovereignty, a rigid foundation in understanding who he is and how he fits into the world?
01:03:36.000
He's too inconstant in this world of love, Johnny, and fame, and directors and producers, and everywhere he goes, everybody loves him.
01:03:50.000
It's just that that life, being that famous for that long from the time you're 20, is almost unmanageable.
01:03:56.000
You need a certain amount of balancing acts in your life to try to mitigate the effects of fame.
01:04:05.000
And I don't think it ever happens when you're young.
01:04:28.000
Yeah, you don't want to go like a rocket ship because that's how you get fucked.
01:04:44.000
What's cool about you guys is it's all internet.
01:04:50.000
Like, you became famous, like, legitimately successful from a show you created yourself with no input from anyone whatsoever all on the internet.
01:05:06.000
It's like you guys have been doing it and just on that steady grind and all by yourself.
01:05:17.000
That thing you were saying about felching, like, listen, we don't need that.
01:05:25.000
And, you know, MeUndies might have a problem with it.
01:05:32.000
Yeah, because we did try to do a show, a network show during the pandemic, an animated show.
01:05:51.000
They want it to be creative, but not so creative that it possibly could get them fired and then they're going to fuck up their mortgage.
01:06:01.000
Someone told me in radio one time, buttered noodles is why everything sucks so bad.
01:06:22.000
And that's why entertainment has sucked so fucking bad.
01:06:35.000
I don't know who's watching regular TV, but if regular TV put on a good show, I'd watch it.
01:06:41.000
If there was one thing that I found out about on regular TV, it's not like it's impossible.
01:06:47.000
They're going to have to come to a recognition.
01:06:49.000
They're going to have to have a come to Jesus moment.
01:06:51.000
Where they're gonna realize, like, your mom's house is out there showing dudes getting their assholes stitched shut.
01:06:59.000
And you fucking pussies are afraid to say shit on TV. Like, this is nonsense.
01:07:08.000
What I was going to say, too, is what I love about podcast fans versus...
01:07:15.000
I did Chelsea Lately and those Talking Head shows.
01:07:22.000
But the podcast fan is like, yo, the other day when you said you took a shit and it was like the bottom of a pudding cup.
01:07:43.000
I mean, I was in like a pharmacy getting drugs like for my sinus infection and some guy stalking, you know, the sodas.
01:08:00.000
And like, but I've had like brain surgeons listening to the show and just every ilk of life, truck driver, everybody.
01:08:10.000
Segura and I were walking down the street, Segura, me and your husband.
01:08:14.000
We were walking down the street in Nashville, and some dude pulls over in his car, and he goes, Rogan, what's up, jeans?
01:08:27.000
It's like, for what he said, Rogan, then he goes, hey, what's up, jeans?
01:08:32.000
It's like those little sort of inside things on your show, calling everybody mommy in jeans.
01:08:39.000
It's hilarious, but someone in the wild calling him jeans was really fun.
01:08:45.000
That's all I wanted was to be silly and have fun in life.
01:08:48.000
And that's all I wanted money for was to create silliness and to create fun and to spend too much money on an outfit that the Netflix executives would be upset about.
01:08:58.000
And then I wanted a Frankie Goes to Hollywood song, Relax is on there.
01:09:02.000
And they're like, no, bitch, we're not paying for that.
01:09:11.000
So I was like, fuck you, I'm going to buy it because I love this song.
01:09:18.000
I was just dancing to it in the clubs with my dad.
01:09:25.000
My dad would take me to bars with him and I would dance.
01:09:39.000
Did you know that you have to buy your Hollywood star, your Walk of Fame star?
01:09:51.000
You buy it, and then they have a little celebration, and no one gives a shit, and then they write a story about how much you suck.
01:10:03.000
Yeah, it's like, that's a weird one, that Hollywood Walk of Fame, because you walk down the walk, and there's people that no one knows.
01:10:22.000
Someone just writes Burt Reynolds on the ground.
01:10:42.000
Well, that's the thing I'm realizing is that it's like, it's just, I mean, over time with fame and da-da-da, you're like, oh, it's all smoke and mirrors.
01:10:50.000
It's all fucking, and the more you can just stick to what you enjoy doing, it's going to keep you grounded and have a family and enjoy normal things.
01:11:01.000
You know how they do the Walk of Fame and they have the stars?
01:11:04.000
And in the store, they have the names on the wall?
01:11:06.000
I think at the mothership, I'm going to have stars.
01:11:09.000
I'll put people's name on a star, like when they're paid regulars, and I'll have a wall of stars.
01:11:16.000
I'm going to steal the Hollywood Walk of Fame shitty idea and steal it from my club.
01:11:23.000
And never take them down, because I hate when clubs take down old people and then replace them.
01:11:42.000
Before Larry the Cable Guy was Larry the Cable Guy.
01:11:55.000
Okay, you got to send a tape, a fucking VHS to the booker.
01:12:31.000
This level of chaos that I think is, for a lot of people, it's crippling.
01:12:41.000
It is, like that amount of scrutiny about your thoughts and your words and your actions.
01:12:48.000
But I overanalyze myself so hardcore that I'm like, yeah, other people are doing it too.
01:13:04.000
But I don't think overanalyze myself, but I am a very harsh critic of myself, of everything I do.
01:13:12.000
I'm not one of those guys that's super happy with anything I do.
01:13:16.000
I think that's maybe one of the big keys to my success.
01:13:20.000
I'll celebrate things and people and fun, but I very rarely celebrate myself.
01:13:29.000
I don't have premieres when I launch a special.
01:13:41.000
Yeah, if I tape that night, if I tape a special that night, you know what I do?
01:13:47.000
I write down the bits that I didn't do in the special that I need to start getting better to prepare for the next special.
01:13:55.000
Now, these are the weapons that we have left in the cash.
01:13:58.000
Well, that's because you're a perfectionist, and that's why you're good.
01:14:02.000
You know, Letterman, I was obsessed with David Letterman, and I read a bio about him when I was 17. And it said that every time they were done taping, he would go watch the tape and then flog himself.
01:14:22.000
Because it was a guy that was acutely aware of your attention span and wanted to do the very best at every chance and then was always analyzing whether or not he lived up to his own expectations.
01:14:34.000
Too many people are fucking happy with themselves.
01:14:36.000
That's why all this body positivity shit and...
01:14:45.000
Listen, you can tell me that fucking men have periods and it's not breastfeeding, it's chest feeding, but don't you take away my supermodels.
01:14:53.000
Don't you take away Naomi Campbell and Linda Evangelista.
01:15:06.000
If I wanted to see fucking hangy dog tits, I would go put a fucking mirror in my shower.
01:15:58.000
It's the same way I'd look at a man who's built like that.
01:16:06.000
You look like you struggle to pick up a pack of cigarettes.
01:16:16.000
Designers like it because those women are essentially hangers.
01:16:18.000
Oh yeah, it's cheaper because you have to buy...
01:16:20.000
Do you know that that's why they originally became super skinny?
01:16:23.000
It was because a size zero takes less fabric to make a dress.
01:16:33.000
But yeah, it's cheaper to build a size zero dress or whatever than...
01:16:37.000
I would way rather have a woman that's 10 pounds overweight than 10 pounds underweight.
01:16:43.000
See, I think skinny looks so much better, like...
01:16:50.000
And if they're unhealthy in a skinny way or unhealthy in an overweight way, that's what the problem with celebrating that is.
01:16:56.000
You don't celebrate fat men, where's the fucking Burt Kreischer underwear catalogs?
01:17:03.000
It's interesting because there's this movement to accept, to celebrate fatness for women.
01:17:23.000
Literally, no one will say you body shamed a man.
01:17:25.000
If they do, people are like, get the fuck out of here.
01:17:28.000
Like, it's, you know, I mean, obviously you shouldn't bully people.
01:17:31.000
But if you are a fat guy with a giant gut and you're wearing underwear and trying to say, accept me for who I am, I'm beautiful.
01:17:39.000
People are kind of like, no, that's not how it works, stupid.
01:17:42.000
But why do we feel like that's okay to not allow men?
01:17:49.000
We don't want to hurt your feelings, so I will lie.
01:18:06.000
It's being kind, but it's taken to a place where you're actually aggressive about being kind.
01:18:11.000
So you're actually putting out more shitty energy than you're removing because it doesn't work.
01:18:16.000
So because by yelling at people about body positivity, it doesn't change the way people feel about people that are overweight.
01:18:23.000
People that are overweight are repulsive because they're not healthy.
01:18:25.000
It's a natural biological attraction mechanism that makes you attracted to people that are going to be able to sustain children.
01:18:34.000
And have a life and survive hardship and someone who looks like durable.
01:18:43.000
And you cannot tell me, get the fuck out of here.
01:18:51.000
And I think, too, it's rooted in pity, which is why I don't like participation awards.
01:19:01.000
I was born in 1967. They didn't have them back then.
01:19:04.000
Well, I got one in, like, 86. And my mother framed it.
01:19:12.000
But I fucking hated it because it was a mark of shame.
01:19:19.000
Like, you want to participate in something, participate in winning, you fucking loser.
01:19:26.000
I've got a stack of these medals from my Taekwondo days.
01:19:30.000
And to this day, I look at the bronze and the silver ones, I'm like...
01:19:42.000
I was like 18. I'm looking at this thing, I'm like, you fucking loser.
01:19:46.000
It's such an achievement to even win that in Taekwondo.
01:19:54.000
But participation trophies are worse than that.
01:20:03.000
And then, did you know that Victoria's Secret hired their first Down Syndrome model?
01:20:17.000
What would people think if a normal chromosome man decided to start having relations with her?
01:20:32.000
This is my problem with the model, the Down Syndrome model.
01:20:41.000
It's that issue of the capacity to make such a decision.
01:20:50.000
You're sexualizing someone who you're not even allowed to have sex with.
01:20:56.000
In that, like, if you're a man, so you're an accountant, Bob the accountant, normal 35-year-old single man, and he meets this Down Syndrome Victoria Secrets model, and you hang out with her, and you're like, dude, she's surprisingly cool, and we just fuck like wild animals.
01:21:14.000
People would go, what are you talking about, Bob?
01:21:17.000
You are not having sex with a Down Syndrome woman.
01:21:25.000
All her fucking pictures are her in her underwear.
01:21:28.000
Show me the photos of the woman in the Down Syndrome.
01:21:53.000
Like, if a regular man had a relationship with her, it would be really creepy.
01:22:00.000
Which is why I have issue with the Forrest Gump film.
01:22:09.000
Yeah, a girl could have a Down Syndrome guy boyfriend.
01:22:11.000
If you have a Down Syndrome guy boyfriend, what if you have a giant Icelandic Down Syndrome man as your boyfriend?
01:22:18.000
He's basically a giant white gorilla that just lays pipe to you all day.
01:22:28.000
Bobby Kelly and I did gigs together back when he was a counselor for Down Syndrome kids.
01:22:36.000
So he would work in this house with Down Syndrome people.
01:22:39.000
So where he lived, he lived in this house with people.
01:22:43.000
And Bobby told me they're always trying to fuck.
01:22:50.000
They just want to fuck all the time, which is normal.
01:22:52.000
They have normal balls and normal testosterone production, and that's what the average man is.
01:22:58.000
But they don't seem to think there's anything wrong with wanting to fuck all the time.
01:23:04.000
No, I had a friend that worked- Is there down syndrome porn, and is that going to be on the next to your mom's house?
01:23:15.000
I was going to start looking, but I'll let them find it.
01:23:27.000
Now, should you have to be Down Syndrome to get it?
01:23:29.000
And could you take a test and just pretend you're dumb?
01:23:32.000
Well, it doesn't seem like you have Down Syndrome, but you're pretty fucking stupid, so go ahead and jerk off to this.
01:23:43.000
It's permission to masturbate to the mentally challenged.
01:23:46.000
Are you allowed to masturbate to that Victoria's Secret's catalog because the Down Syndrome lady's on it?
01:23:53.000
And Victoria's Secret wants you to masturbate to the Down Syndrome girl.
01:24:13.000
It explains why she falls for the pizza delivery guy thing.
01:24:21.000
This is where we get a lot of our clips for Your Mom's House Live.
01:24:33.000
Keep the camera on her face and just show the Downs porn.
01:25:09.000
The model thing is weird because male models have to have six packs and they have to look like Johnny Depp.
01:25:21.000
As long as we're not pretending that there's something...
01:25:27.000
As long as they're not saying there's something wrong with being the other kind of model.
01:25:32.000
Out of all the two, both of them are unhealthy.
01:25:34.000
It's unhealthy to starve yourself, and it's unhealthy to be obese.
01:25:40.000
Both of them are unrealistic and unreasonable, and both of them are not what men want for the most part.
01:25:52.000
I had one boyfriend in the past who was like, you gain weight.
01:25:54.000
And I was like, go fuck your mother, you're out of here.
01:25:56.000
He was also the dirtbag who didn't call me for four days and then rearranged his room on crystal meth.
01:26:03.000
But yeah, most men are very forgiving of women's bodies, I've found.
01:26:08.000
In real life, at least the dudes I've been with for the most part, extremely forgiving.
01:26:12.000
I think the natural inclination is that men like women with a little softness to them, little curves to them.
01:26:20.000
But the stick thing is like you're not eating, you're smoking cigarettes, you're doing Adderall, like you're not normal.
01:26:28.000
Unless you just have some crazy metabolism or you're super athletic and this is just like what you look like.
01:26:52.000
You know, and you don't want a man that's going to have a fucking heart attack.
01:26:56.000
You see a guy that's that fat, and you know they have sleep apnea, and they're just lying there with their big purple face, choking on their own tongue.
01:27:08.000
I mean, could you fucking imagine what Burt snores like?
01:27:12.000
I was going to take it there, and then I was like, should we fat shame Burt?
01:27:19.000
When he takes his shirt off, it's probably the biggest pop in all of comedy.
01:27:24.000
When he goes out there and says like this to everybody, and then he takes his shirt off and puts his baseball hat back on, they go, yeah!
01:27:31.000
Shane Gillis told me it's the loudest pop he's ever heard in his life.
01:27:53.000
He's doing great, though, but here's the thing.
01:27:55.000
That pregnant guy is out there fucking killing it.
01:28:03.000
Yeah, you're allowed to talk about that in this show.
01:28:14.000
A pregnant man is on the cover of a certain magazine.
01:28:20.000
I'm endlessly intrigued by this whole gender non-binary stuff.
01:28:38.000
I think I might have saved it because I'm twisted.
01:28:47.000
I think it's like.00001 of the population, right?
01:28:51.000
It's a small percentage of the population that is a pregnant man.
01:28:56.000
But they have their own emoji on my iPhone now.
01:29:11.000
I believe that if the majority of people, of humans, are doing stuff, the utility would be to build society around what the majority are doing.
01:29:20.000
So I think this way of thinking, we're like, well, no, but there's like two people that have this, so let's completely rearrange.
01:29:29.000
And then to bully you into conformity, and if you don't, then you're hateful.
01:29:36.000
It's happening so fast, and it's at such a rabid level.
01:29:46.000
I didn't want everyone to comply or you're a monster or you're a piece of shit or you're transphobic.
01:29:51.000
That to me, if I was removed from my own emotions and my own culture and I said, what is happening here?
01:29:58.000
Well, there's some sort of a process of getting people to stop being primates and stop being sexual and stop thinking about like normal Sort of biological gender representation,
01:30:17.000
And it seems like, if I looked at something, what's happening, I'd go, there's some sort of a declining urgency of sexual orientation and even the ability to biologically reproduce by sex.
01:30:36.000
I think the universe is setting us up to become some new thing.
01:30:49.000
And it seems like what's happening with people in our...
01:30:55.000
Ever more hungry desire for technology is we're doing a lot of things that seem to be diminishing our sex.
01:31:07.000
There's this woman who did this book, Dr. Shanna Swan, she did this book called Countdown.
01:31:16.000
She deals with the effects of the environment on people's reproductive systems and people's hormonal systems.
01:31:22.000
And one of the things that she found was that phthalates, which come from plastics and a bunch of other pesticides in particular, a bunch of different things, chemicals from petrochemicals that have gotten into our bodies, Have diminished our penis sizes,
01:31:43.000
Sperm counts are down like 50% since the 1950s.
01:31:47.000
Yeah, penis sizes are shrinking, taints are shrinking.
01:31:50.000
So one of the best ways in mammals to tell the difference between a male and a female is the taint size.
01:31:55.000
Taints in males are 50 to 100% larger than the females.
01:31:59.000
And when mammals are exposed to phthalates, when the mother has the baby in the womb, the phthalates cause the taint to shrink.
01:32:12.000
So we're becoming genderless, strange sort of things biologically, but we're not recognizing it because they didn't even know that this...
01:32:22.000
I think Dr. Shana Swan said it was 2015 when they first realized what was happening with phthalates and that phthalates were having this impact on the reproductive systems.
01:32:32.000
That while women were pregnant, their exposure and the amount of phthalates they had in their blood was directly represented by the decreasing of the testosterone in the males, shrinking of the penis, shrinking of the testicles, and also big uptick in miscarriages for the females.
01:32:49.000
So less viable, less sexual, less viable, less hormonal.
01:33:00.000
You know, we were talking last night, we were talking about these Russian wrestlers.
01:33:03.000
Tony was making fun of me that I have a hairy back.
01:33:16.000
Have you ever seen Russian wrestlers that look like male stage 3?
01:33:21.000
Right before they hit stage 5, which is like a human.
01:33:31.000
That have fucking hairy shoulders, like all over their shoulders, all over their arms.
01:33:56.000
I mean, you can't tell me that that guy is not like...
01:33:59.000
Let's say it's not like a five-stage evolutionary trail.
01:34:06.000
That guy's several hundred stages before most people.
01:34:14.000
Look at him in that headlock in the far right corner.
01:34:25.000
Yeah, there's certain hairy humans that remind you of our past.
01:34:33.000
They're a little window into, like, savages of the past.
01:34:44.000
Well, no, with men that wore makeup and velvet skirts, they're goth.
01:34:50.000
I think now they're called trans, but back then they were just goth.
01:34:57.000
And I just fell in love with Tommy for being alpha.
01:34:59.000
But I was going to bring up, have you seen the new The Batman?
01:35:12.000
Like, he doesn't even bang fucking Zoe Kravitz at the end, who's like the hot ass.
01:35:48.000
Remember fucking Vicki Vale and the guy, who's the, Beetlejuice, when Beetlejuice was Batman?
01:35:57.000
Michael Keaton crushed it, and he crushed puss, and he was a virile male.
01:36:02.000
This Batman is like, I've got fucking feelings.
01:36:04.000
His hair is in his eyes, and like, what are you doing?
01:36:21.000
And they're all fucking having their periods at the same time.
01:36:58.000
You're watching a goofy ass movie about a weird fake world.
01:37:04.000
Where a guy can shoot a grappling hook to the top of a building and it pulls him up.
01:37:09.000
There's a lot that you just take for granted as nonsense.
01:37:12.000
The thing about Batman has always been that Batman was just a rich guy that had access to all this money so he could buy all this shit and do these things.
01:37:26.000
Because in a comic book, you kind of got free license for him to create a fucking nuclear reactor that he could put on a jet ski.
01:37:35.000
But in movies, you're like, why is he kicking everybody's ass?
01:37:39.000
How come three guys don't gang up on him, take him down and stab him?
01:37:51.000
So Batman could have been Iron Man, but he chose not to be?
01:37:59.000
I don't think Batman is quite as smart as Iron Man.
01:38:01.000
He doesn't have the heart thing, which keeps us a big thing, but the money.
01:38:14.000
Tony Stark is a guy who became rich because he was brilliant.
01:38:32.000
I have a very hard time feeling bad for rich characters.
01:38:47.000
I found him to be very just fey and like, I don't want to fight.
01:39:04.000
Who's your favorite superhero character in films?
01:39:11.000
I don't like Superman because he's too American pie.
01:39:36.000
Yes, he can walk during the day, but he's got vampire powers.
01:39:38.000
But they have to keep giving him injections of blood because he wants to kill people and eat them.
01:39:55.000
Wesley Snipes was fucking badass as Blade, too.
01:39:58.000
It was perfect, because I was a fan of Blade the comic book, where he had teak weapons.
01:40:04.000
He used a really hard wood, because vampires, you had to put a stake through their heart, so you had teak stakes that he carried with him.
01:41:02.000
Where he broke his ankle to smithereens where he jumped from building to building?
01:41:10.000
But I know that he does his own stunts, which is nutty.
01:41:15.000
He learned how to fly a helicopter so he could do helicopter stunts.
01:41:34.000
So he barely made it there and he landed with his ankle and slammed his body into it and destroyed his ankle.
01:41:44.000
Apparently just cracked the shit out of his ankle on impact.
01:41:47.000
I guess he probably wanted to make it all the way to the other side, but didn't quite get there.
01:42:02.000
But look, he fucking powered through like a savage.
01:42:05.000
Look, even with his fucked up ankle, he ran off.
01:42:12.000
And he was really good as the vampire in Lestat.
01:42:29.000
And Brad Pitt, my husband got to meet him in real life and he looks stunning.
01:42:33.000
I don't think Anne Rice, I'm sure he does, I'm sure Anne Rice, I think she was reluctant to have Tom Cruise do it initially too.
01:42:42.000
Because Lestat was like this looming, imposing, demonic vampire figure in the books.
01:42:56.000
I would never, if someone said a million dollars Joe Rogan's read Interview with the Vampire, I'd be like, never.
01:43:13.000
But she also, like, sometimes you'd hear opinions on things.
01:43:20.000
I forget what, like, I'd read commentary that she'd said.
01:43:25.000
But, I mean, that's what you'd expect from someone.
01:43:36.000
She gets shit for saying that men can't be pregnant.
01:43:38.000
And I don't know why she insists on saying that.
01:43:44.000
And I've personally stopped watching the Harry Potter movies because of this.
01:44:02.000
I mean, when you read the actual things he said, you're like, who's pushing back against this?
01:44:07.000
Especially because the fucking Penn State swimmer is the most, or UPenn swimmer is the most nutty one.
01:44:12.000
Oh, is this the one where it's like a dude that won out?
01:44:16.000
It's this, no, well, I mean, she is still winning world championships when she was number 462 in the country as a biological male.
01:44:27.000
And then a year later, a fucking year later, she's number one as a female who still has a penis.
01:44:37.000
And if you get complained because she's walking around the locker room, you're transphobic.
01:44:43.000
Like, imagine if you woke up, you feel like Rip Van Winkle.
01:44:46.000
And you're like, I'm going to take a nap around 2015. I just feel a little sleepy.
01:44:52.000
And seven years later, you're like, hey guys, what's going on?
01:45:00.000
I feel, okay, I'm like that every morning with Tom.
01:45:03.000
I'm like, Tom, did you know that hiking is racist now?
01:45:17.000
Yoga is racist, even though it was invented in India.
01:45:21.000
I mean, there's all these articles, and I'm like, am I in the fucking upside down?
01:45:25.000
Well, you also have to recognize that a lot of what you see when you read those articles is just people trying to get attention.
01:45:33.000
Here, the unbearable whiteness of hiking and how to solve it.
01:45:40.000
Imagine that there's a problem with people Based on the melanin content of their skin, we're just out enjoying nature together.
01:45:49.000
It's one thing where your race doesn't matter at all.
01:45:51.000
You're all just walking up this mountain and enjoying nature.
01:45:58.000
Hiking is not just for able-bodied white people anymore.
01:46:03.000
I mean, was there a movement that we were like, hey guys, you can't hike here if you're not?
01:46:13.000
If you go on trails, hiking trails, you see people of all ethnicities and backgrounds.
01:46:18.000
They're just enjoying nature together and it's a bonding experience for folks because there's something very humbling about walking Over the top of a hill and you're seeing a canyon and it's beautiful and you see people coming the other way and you're like, hey, what's up?
01:46:35.000
It's one of those things that's so humbling in its vast scale and magnificence and its natural beauty that it makes you nicer.
01:46:47.000
So everyone's out there enjoying natural medicine.
01:46:54.000
The people from Nepal and the people that take people up the Himalayas are the best fucking hikers that have ever lived!
01:47:12.000
Hiking's human and especially at the highest level.
01:47:16.000
Unfortunately, those people are known for being hired by white people.
01:47:28.000
How do you know if you have it in you, if you could do it?
01:47:49.000
Yeah, about how there's dead bodies on the way up there.
01:47:53.000
And you're like, you have to have such incredible arrogance.
01:47:57.000
Because it's so cold that they have to leave the dead bodies.
01:48:00.000
So as you're walking up this trail to the top of this mountain, hoping to be one of the people that makes it, you get to look to the left and the right of you, and there's dead bodies.
01:48:14.000
And they're not decomposed because it's super cold?
01:48:17.000
Frozen solid like a rock and they look like they're made out of plaster.
01:48:25.000
You see their skin, like their clothing has been pushed away a little bit by time and worn out and you can see part of their skin.
01:48:32.000
Yeah, there's people that they know who the person is.
01:48:54.000
It's so dangerous that to bring that guy down would risk people's lives.
01:49:09.000
I was watching a documentary about this guy that free climbing...
01:49:18.000
Shit makes me so fucking mad because I'm like, what are you doing?
01:49:21.000
It's just, you know, he's like, and then I put my finger in the crevice.
01:49:28.000
Sometimes it's like I have to lift my foot up and get it to the spot or I'm going to die.
01:49:32.000
I have to lift my foot up over here and push off.
01:50:03.000
First of all, he loves being in nature, and I think there's this accomplishment thing that comes with being able to climb something with no ropes.
01:50:19.000
You see people on those ropes, sometimes they slip and they fall off.
01:50:22.000
Would you have slipped and fallen off if there was no rope?
01:50:44.000
It says climbs halfway up New Jersey skyscraper.
01:50:52.000
I know, I know, I know, I know, I don't I don't like it.
01:50:59.000
But, Joe, have you seen the documentary about the divers who rescue the children trapped in the tie?
01:51:12.000
I don't like children getting fucked with ever.
01:51:17.000
They find divers who are like hobbyist divers, like a bunch of old white guys, like introvert people.
01:51:27.000
They don't know how to get in and get these kids out.
01:51:35.000
I know I probably should have said this before, but okay anyway.
01:51:41.000
And they find this group of like misfit dudes who love cave diving and they can go into these tiny little angles.
01:51:53.000
They got trapped in a storm and they were there for like a month.
01:51:57.000
And they had to devise a plan to get these boys out.
01:52:06.000
They consulted with this anesthesiologist and they put an apparatus on the boys' faces to put them under anesthesia.
01:52:14.000
And then the professional diver would take them through the cave very carefully out over like two or three hours while this kid was under anesthesia.
01:52:26.000
I mean, like I'm crying even just fucking remembering it.
01:52:36.000
So they had to find a way to be able to carry a kid, safely put a mask on them.
01:52:43.000
Right, because if the kid freaks out, it kicks up dust.
01:52:45.000
I had Donald Cerrone on my podcast, and he was cave diving with this guy, and the guy got his tube tangled, his rope tangled, and he freaked out and spazzed out, and he filled the cabin up with silt, and they couldn't see anymore, and he couldn't figure out how to get out.
01:53:02.000
It's the most riveting story I've ever heard in my life.
01:53:05.000
It's Donald Cerrone, and he was telling a cave diving story.
01:53:09.000
And it's on YouTube, and when he did it, even though I knew he was here, So I knew he was alive.
01:53:18.000
He's sitting in front of me telling me the story.
01:53:21.000
But as he's telling me, I'm so filled with anxiety that I can hardly breathe because he's doing an amazing job of telling it.
01:53:30.000
And then he's thinking about getting back to his wife and his kid.
01:53:35.000
And while he's trying to find his way out, he's like, I'm not going to fucking quit.
01:53:57.000
You know, whatever the fuck it is, he'll do it.
01:54:04.000
I feel like stand-up comedy is the ultimate for me in terms of, like, danger.
01:54:13.000
Podcasting is too, because podcasting, you're really just thinking it up on the fly.
01:54:19.000
The intellectual danger about stand-up comedy is like, you committed to this.
01:54:41.000
Having to think and pee at the same time are not good.
01:54:44.000
Like when you have to pee and you're holding it.
01:54:48.000
We could build chairs with toilets, but you don't want to see that.
01:54:52.000
I tried peeing in a diaper once on our podcast.
01:55:01.000
She wore diapers so she could go kill her boyfriend's girlfriend.
01:55:09.000
Like, yo, how mad are you that you're like, I'm gonna wear a diaper?
01:55:14.000
She was going like 90 miles an hour for 18 hours.
01:55:19.000
With a diaper on, just shitting her pants and just gritting her teeth.
01:55:25.000
She hit her with bear spray and she tried to pull her out of her car and then she broke down crying.
01:55:31.000
You know, we don't have any great scandals anymore.
01:55:34.000
Well, that one was crazy because it was a NASA astronaut.
01:55:40.000
She was a NASA astronaut, and she drove across the fucking country to go whack her boyfriend's...
01:55:50.000
I think she was fooling around with this guy who's married, and I think that was the story.
01:55:55.000
But that bitch and Amber Heard are cut from the same cloth.
01:56:06.000
Like what we were saying earlier, like, oh, but when I grow up, I'll be normal when I grow up.
01:56:11.000
And you're like, oh, no, you either get more neurotic and you develop vices to cope, or you figure out your shit and you try to stay somewhat connected to reality.
01:56:22.000
There's a lot of smart people that are crazy as fuck.
01:56:28.000
Think of how hard it must be to become a doctor, right?
01:56:44.000
So here you have a brilliant person who's clearly doing something evil as fuck.
01:56:49.000
It doesn't just because someone's smart doesn't mean they're good.
01:56:53.000
I read this book in college by Hannah Arndt called The Banality of Evil.
01:56:58.000
And they put Eichmann was on trial in Jerusalem, right?
01:57:03.000
And she's like, you know, you would expect that Eichmann, who was what his PR guy, Hitler's PR guy is like second or third in charge.
01:57:10.000
Would be this malicious, evil, malignant piece of shit, but it turns out kind of a dope.
01:57:17.000
And that evil, you know, you're not really aware that you're doing it sometimes when you're doing it, is what the point of that whole thing was, if I'm recalling correctly.
01:57:28.000
Yeah, like, even now, like, if we go along with this culture of, like, I don't share the same opinion as you, you're a bad person, like, it's just an extension of that type of thinking.
01:57:48.000
Well, if you just think of the horrific things that people used to do that we thought of as normal and now are atrocious.
01:57:55.000
Like putting babies out in the middle of winter, out on the landing.
01:58:04.000
You're like, who would ever think that that's a good idea?
01:58:23.000
That's the exact picture, yeah, that I saw on the internet.
01:58:25.000
They just like, shut the kid the fuck up and put him in a net.
01:58:33.000
People barely knew how to raise people when our parents were being raised.
01:58:38.000
And then our parents barely knew how to raise us, and we finally have the internet to Yeah.
01:58:47.000
Fresh air is required to renew and purify the blood.
01:58:50.000
And this is just as necessary for health and growth as proper food.
01:59:10.000
And they're always in their 20s, these Instagram fitness people.
01:59:18.000
It's pretty easy to look good when you're in your 20s.
01:59:24.000
Well, it's like, though I don't fault them for it because it's a viable way to make a living now.
01:59:31.000
It's like, would you rather have them being a fitness coach at Equinox, or would you rather have them on Instagram?
01:59:43.000
You could actually probably do both at the same time if the gym lets you.
01:59:46.000
But if you're one of them fitness people, you can get a few million followers on Instagram and then all of a sudden you're selling products.
01:59:57.000
They kick you back with a little piece of the action.
02:00:01.000
If you're one of those characters that sells that skinny tea or whatever the fuck they sell...
02:00:09.000
Yeah, I don't want to say the name of the brand.
02:00:12.000
It's like, instead of eating compulsively, I'm going to drink tea.
02:00:20.000
I tried a diet pill once, and I was like, oh, this is terrible.
02:00:32.000
The influencer thing is, you know, I'm cool with it until you start selling skinny tea.
02:00:45.000
If there was a fucking tea that made you lose weight, too many people would be shredded.
02:00:54.000
I heard you talking about The War of Art by Steven Pressfield, which I'm a huge fan of that book as well.
02:01:00.000
I found it a decade ago, and it just completely, it was like, just do it.
02:01:06.000
It's so uniquely pragmatic, the way he describes becoming a pro, sitting down, the prayer to the muse.
02:01:24.000
There's something to treating it like it's a real person.
02:01:27.000
Well, because I've learned in stand-up comedy, if I'm trying to sit down and work on a joke...
02:01:32.000
I know there are some comedians that every morning they sit up...
02:01:38.000
But the muse doesn't always show up when you want her to.
02:01:47.000
The whole key of it is, yeah, it's not going to...
02:01:51.000
I turned Christina Segura into a motherfucking cigar smoker...
02:01:56.000
The idea is that you show up, because you're a professional, and you have days where you write.
02:02:00.000
I came home two nights ago, I wrote a bunch of nonsense.
02:02:05.000
And I tried reading it the next day, I'm like, I know what I was trying to say, but this is not good.
02:02:12.000
Because I just came home and I was like, before I do anything, let me just get some ideas out.
02:02:18.000
But then the unconscious will work on it, I found.
02:02:25.000
So when she gives you the idea, respect that bitch and write it down.
02:02:46.000
So lazy, because how much time does it take to get out of your bed, grab your phone, and write it in the notes?
02:02:54.000
You can just press the voice thing and just start talking, and it'll transcribe what you're saying.
02:02:59.000
oh yeah yeah did you know about that i could do that no i didn't know is it in your notes check this watch you go into your notes right okay here's notes i go like that i press that button get this and i press this and i say christina segura is a bad thank you get the yeah so you instantaneously have a note Yeah.
02:03:26.000
Yeah, and so if you have an idea that just pops into your head, you capture it.
02:03:33.000
In 10 seconds, you could open your phone, do that, press that, and then you're recording it.
02:03:37.000
So 10 seconds later, the idea is still fresh in your head.
02:03:44.000
Sometimes you revisit it like, oh, I forgot about this.
02:03:58.000
Sometimes a joke can take me seven years to write.
02:04:11.000
But there's also this thing, what is it called, Remarkable?
02:04:14.000
Where it's a tablet, I haven't used it, but it's a tablet that you write on and it has the feeling of texture of paper.
02:04:30.000
So it can turn it and change it from your handwriting and your script into text.
02:04:49.000
The thing that I find for sure is that when I physically write things down like that, I remember better.
02:04:57.000
So what I do is I use index cards in my green room and I write things on the index cards.
02:05:04.000
And I also use notebooks where I write down the bits in the notebooks.
02:05:07.000
So I write down my bits, even though I know my bits, I write them out.
02:05:11.000
So they're like, before the show, I just have it 100% dialed in in my head where there's no thought whatsoever about what I want to talk about.
02:05:31.000
And he wanted M&Ms and certain fucking this and that.
02:05:44.000
I got like red wine and like a meat platter and fruit.
02:05:53.000
So I used Kevin James's rider and then I started opening up index cards.
02:05:58.000
Just write out your fucking, your premises and like set it down and look at it before the show.
02:06:05.000
Because I remember my jokes, how I write the setlist out.
02:06:08.000
Like when I'm on stage, I literally can see the writing.
02:06:11.000
And I go, oh, I know that's the next bit, but I like index cards.
02:06:14.000
The writing, the physical writing is different than the typing.
02:06:18.000
But for getting down an idea, there's nothing better than the typing.
02:06:22.000
What I do is write with a computer, and then I take it and I'll copy and paste it into something else, or whether it's Scrivener or whether it's Notes, and then I'll write it out when I'm going to do it on stage.
02:06:46.000
There's some things where you go, okay, am I avoiding this because it's more work or am I avoiding it because it's unnecessary?
02:06:53.000
And it's hard to figure out what's what sometimes because you kind of play games with yourself.
02:06:58.000
But if I'm being honest with myself, the more work I do in terms of paying attention to it, writing it out, looking at it, the more the better.
02:07:06.000
So the three-step process to coming up with the idea and then to writing it out like in a computer, like in Microsoft Word or something, to taking that and then writing that on a piece of paper.
02:07:21.000
Because I got a Google Doc that just like is a running, it's like a million pages of jokes.
02:07:26.000
But then I will take what's going to happen on stage in a notebook.
02:07:30.000
So do you write the actual jokes on paper and then you print it out later in a Google Doc?
02:07:37.000
And then I'll look at the Google Doc and I'll be like, oh, that's interesting.
02:07:40.000
But whatever makes it to handwritten is what makes it to stage.
02:07:44.000
And then I do keywords so I don't do the whole sentence so that I can memorize.
02:07:55.000
It's so crazy because I can memorize an hour of jokes, but like dialogue, like if someone give me a script, I can't do it.
02:08:04.000
Because you're completely connected to your material.
02:08:10.000
It's like there's a lot of different kinds of comedy.
02:08:13.000
You know, there's like set up punchline, fake jokes, comedy.
02:08:16.000
There's But then there's, here's the world through my eyes.
02:08:24.000
And it's like, oh, I can, and I can even, like, new ones I write, I can be like, oh yeah, that's going to come out.
02:08:31.000
I know, I'm so like, I just hope I get to do more specials, you know?
02:08:38.000
I saw you in like 2000, I don't know, 18, I think I was pregnant, or before I got pregnant, and you were like, you should have a special.
02:08:47.000
And I was like, oh yeah, I should have a special.
02:08:50.000
And then I started to work on it, but it was because you said I should.
02:08:59.000
You're such a fucking idiot, because I was like...
02:09:01.000
But that's one of the reasons why you're so funny.
02:09:08.000
But you have this weird part of you that's not totally that...
02:09:11.000
You're not hyper-ambitious, but you're really, really focused on being really funny.
02:09:27.000
And he was always like, if you build it, they will come.
02:09:34.000
And I don't think you should ever chase the industry.
02:09:37.000
No, you can't because then you get the ones that don't really want you and they don't do a good job.
02:09:42.000
The relationship that an artist has to representation is very important because you have to be able to trust them.
02:09:49.000
It's like one of the reasons why I got those folks that used to work at the Comedy Store to come work here in Austin is because I trust them.
02:10:02.000
So if you have a manager and an agent, you can't have a manager and an agent that doesn't really give a fuck about you.
02:10:14.000
But in the beginning when people are open micers, that's all they get.
02:10:18.000
Because those are the only people that are interested.
02:10:19.000
And they might want you to sign some 10 year deal where they get 50% of your podcast.
02:10:27.000
There's some sleazy fucking managers that are not just getting a piece of the standup career that they can enhance, but they're also getting a piece of the podcast.
02:10:43.000
Well, what's so crazy to me is, like, why haven't agencies built a podcasting division where they sell ads?
02:10:57.000
Some managers will help you get guests, and they'll help do things, and they're business partners.
02:11:03.000
They work with you, and they deserve a piece of the action.
02:11:08.000
What most of them are doing, they send you fucking auditions to some sitcom you don't really want to do, and they collect all your road money.
02:11:17.000
They collect 10% of your road money, and then they collect your podcast money, and they're not helping.
02:11:22.000
Because you are getting everything from you being more and more successful on podcasts and in your career growing and then putting stuff on YouTube and what have you and then eventually doing bigger and bigger theater shows and you still have the same manager who doesn't do a goddamn thing and tells you Full House is going to be,
02:11:38.000
you know, now that Saget's dead, they're looking for a guy.
02:11:41.000
You're like right about to go on stage in Denver like what the fuck are you talking about man?
02:11:48.000
That's a lot of the relationships that managers have with comedians in this day and age.
02:11:57.000
Chandra and Jeff, the two of them work together and they're the best ever.
02:12:01.000
And I'm so fortunate I have this amazing relationship with them where they're my friends.
02:12:08.000
So it's not like, it's never like some question as to whether or not I'll be working with them.
02:12:18.000
I've talked to her and she's like, they're all in.
02:12:22.000
It does take a team of people to manage the career if you find the right.
02:12:30.000
You know, it's one of the beautiful things about this group of people that we all hang out with is that everyone is really supportive.
02:12:36.000
And everyone's genuinely friendly and everyone's killing it.
02:12:42.000
It's like the more people around you are killing it, the more it's better for everybody.
02:12:46.000
Yeah, I was just thinking last night, like, about my husband, how Tom Segura was never bad at stand-up.
02:12:55.000
It's like, I met him, he was 23, and I was 26, and we were both open micers, and, like, he was so good.
02:13:03.000
And I ran the show at Tangier, and I would have Tommy close out all the shows, and it's, like, Ryan Sickler, Matt Fulchron, Tom Segura.
02:13:14.000
All these bros that I still kick it with today and like everybody's just...
02:13:28.000
It's really something special to watch all these kids.
02:13:30.000
Like we grew up, we were just kids in Los Feliz.
02:13:50.000
But at the end of the day, I was having this conversation last night with William Montgomery.
02:13:55.000
Because William Montgomery did shows with Tony Hinchcliffe in Phoenix last week.
02:14:09.000
I'm worried that one day I'm not going to be able to take Tony on the road with me.
02:14:17.000
The Kill Tony show when he just shits on people.
02:14:25.000
It's like a team of writers sat down with it for an hour and a half.
02:14:35.000
And he's just the funniest as a host of a show, like that Kill Tony show.
02:14:43.000
Remember when we were at the Vulcan and some stupid bitch popped off in the front and Tony just fucking hammered her and went after her?
02:14:57.000
Yeah, so people got kicked out in the front row and Tony was eviscerating them.
02:15:04.000
It sounds like we were at the comedy store, like in the back of the OR or some shit.
02:15:14.000
Some people just need to learn about marijuana and stop drinking so much goddamn vodka before shows.
02:15:21.000
They get too ripped and then they think they're a part of the show.
02:15:34.000
Oh, we're talking to William Montgomery about it.
02:15:42.000
And then I take them with me on the road sometimes.
02:15:55.000
And I was telling him, I'm like, it's the same thing, man.
02:16:14.000
And then we'll do this, and then we'll do that.
02:16:16.000
It's the same goddamn thing as the Vulcan on a Tuesday night.
02:16:20.000
You're just trying to tighten those bits up, and you're trying to give the people the best possible experience that you can give them.
02:16:31.000
Because I have points, and then I fucking forget them, and I'm like, oh, I want to say...
02:16:37.000
You've written down more than any scientist who has ever been on this podcast.
02:16:44.000
I'm like, I'm just a fucking idiot, because I forget the...
02:16:59.000
I love the process of grinding and working and finding the bit.
02:17:02.000
I'm obsessed with this process and I'm obsessed with failure because that's how the best...
02:17:09.000
It's just like, oh, okay, let's go, let's go, let's go, pushing boundaries.
02:17:13.000
But number two, and I think what was so valuable and so amazing about you...
02:17:19.000
And watching you is that you have to see it in order to go, oh, I could fucking do that, too, until you see a successful comedian and you're like, oh, dude, oh, okay, that's the road.
02:17:36.000
So it's good that you're taking this kid and going, like, here's an arena.
02:17:41.000
Yeah, well that's what I did with Ari and Duncan and all those guys too.
02:17:44.000
It's like, take them all, Joey, just take them to everywhere.
02:17:50.000
And also, it's a beautiful sort of system of support that we have for each other.
02:18:00.000
It's beneficial to me to watch them do well and to be able to see them come back to a place and headline after they work with me.
02:18:07.000
And start doing theaters on their own and doing clubs on their own and killing it.
02:18:13.000
The art form is fragile and there's not a lot of us.
02:18:18.000
I think the more we support each other and the more we realize that a lot of disputes that comics have with each other are bullshit.
02:18:29.000
Really, we should be concentrated on trying to help this very fragile art form.
02:18:37.000
I mean, there's more comics now than I think than ever because of the internet, because of shows like Kill Tony and all these shows where you get to see on people's Instagram pages them doing open mic sets.
02:18:48.000
They're putting open mic sets on their Instagram pages.
02:18:53.000
I mean, imagine if you had some of that stuff from day four of you doing comedy.
02:18:58.000
I'm so mortified by even my first album, comedy.
02:19:04.000
But because of that, there's a lot of people doing it now.
02:19:10.000
It's hard to run a club and have it be profitable without big names coming in all the time.
02:19:15.000
It's hard to be a comic and make a living and figure out a way to feed yourself while you're trying to advance in comedy.
02:19:24.000
You don't have a manager and you don't have an agent.
02:19:34.000
From what I've been talking to clubs and stuff, because I bring Chase O'Donnell with me.
02:19:39.000
And I love Chase because she's different than me.
02:19:43.000
She's not snarky and sarcastic and there's no jokes like, I got anal from my boyfriend.
02:19:58.000
But I talk to these clubs and they're like, yeah, we don't support, they don't support feature acts anymore.
02:20:03.000
There's no culture of like, yeah, we'll put the feature up and we'll pay them peanuts, but they'll have a place to stay.
02:20:12.000
So what you're saying about this being a fragile art form, you're 100% accurate because there's no system other than the headliner bringing some lucky few along.
02:20:32.000
And having some sort of logical progression to professionalism.
02:20:38.000
You have to have a logical progression to you get a certain amount of time and you hone that time and maybe you can open up for somebody.
02:20:45.000
And then the person takes you in the road and you should make enough money to eat and to fucking pay your rent.
02:20:55.000
And then you try to figure out how to become a national touring act.
02:21:00.000
And there's like, you opened for this guy, opened up for Burt in Cincinnati, and you contact the club owner, and they see you, and they go, how much time do you have?
02:21:08.000
You're like, well, I've done 45, but you really only have 30. Of course.
02:21:12.000
And then you make your way in, and it's a long process.
02:21:16.000
And you have to do it right, because if you show up in Seattle and you bomb, everyone's going to know.
02:21:21.000
Yeah, they're going to go, oh, we had him headlined and he didn't sell any tickets and he ate shit on stage and couldn't follow the middle act.
02:21:27.000
See, that's funny because I thought that was just me being like, oh, I'm a woman so I have to fucking kill because if I don't kill they're going to say, oh, it's because she's a girl and I put that added pressure.
02:21:38.000
100% there's an added difficulty level for females.
02:21:42.000
I had this conversation back in the day with Judy Gold because I did this article for Playboy where I talked about it and I said it's harder for women.
02:21:48.000
Anybody says it's not, you're not being honest.
02:21:50.000
It's harder because men don't want to hear women talk about politics.
02:21:54.000
They don't want to hear them tell people what they should and shouldn't be doing.
02:21:57.000
They don't want to hear them talking about sex.
02:22:01.000
So you either have to be kind of gross, so when you talk about sex, it's funny, or you've got to be hot and you're luring people in with your sex jokes.
02:22:13.000
And there's a certain expectation of you being unfunny.
02:22:26.000
Yeah, we're a couple of old ladies in the suburbs.
02:22:33.000
So what I found is, personally, Janine Garofalo had this great saying.
02:22:37.000
She goes, men in the audience, they have to figure out whether they want to fight you or fuck you.
02:22:45.000
Yeah, but I also think there's truth in being an archetype.
02:22:49.000
So you're either a whore, which is what you're saying, like, I'm going to talk about sucking dicks and anal, which is fine, right?
02:22:57.000
Now, I might be projecting my own stuff into the world, but I found that once I became a mother, I slid into that archetype very well.
02:23:07.000
I'm attractive enough that you don't mind looking at me.
02:23:13.000
But I'm not like the hottie-tottie 20-something, so there's no real danger that your husband's going to run away with me.
02:23:20.000
And I'm talking about motherhood, which is a subject, like you said, nobody wants to hear me talk about my opinion.
02:23:26.000
It's funny because my husband and I can do the same bit and a totally different response.
02:23:33.000
Now, I'm not saying there's delivery, there's persona, but I think it's the meat shell that you're in dictates what you can get away with.
02:23:45.000
Can you imagine this sweet little blonde white lady is talking crazy shit?
02:24:24.000
Some guys, Janine Garofalo's right about that, that a lot of guys have that.
02:24:30.000
But there's some guys that are like Hannah Gadsby fans.
02:24:51.000
Can I tell you, before we shit on those guys, I love those guys.
02:24:55.000
Because 20 years ago, when Mommy was starting her career...
02:25:09.000
You ever do Marco Island, where they're cracking seafood, cracking open the crabs, and you're...
02:25:14.000
I'd go up to a bunch of old fat white guys with their arms folded and I would have to win them over.
02:25:23.000
These young boys in their 20s think it's perfectly normal that a woman will tell jokes.
02:25:32.000
Do you think there's more good women comedians now?
02:25:37.000
I think it's harder for women to become good comedians.
02:25:43.000
But it's always harder than it is for men, in my opinion.
02:25:52.000
So it didn't bother me to live out of a suitcase.
02:25:57.000
You don't know where you're going to be the next day.
02:26:01.000
A lot of women, it's very rough to live the road life.
02:26:10.000
And when you're a woman and you're on the road like that, I'm sure you feel vulnerable.
02:26:13.000
And then you're also not getting enough money to really sustain yourself like this.
02:26:20.000
The middle life days are like a test to see if you will graduate to headliner.
02:26:31.000
You have to contact people or have a manager that contacts people.
02:26:34.000
And you have to be able to put in the time at the clubs to develop a real act that you could actually sell as a headliner so that when you go and you do well, they want you to come again.
02:26:44.000
You get in the morning radio and you come in and talk shit.
02:26:49.000
Wasn't that the fucking worst thing on the wall?
02:26:51.000
You need something if you don't have a podcast.
02:26:53.000
If you don't have a podcast and you don't have a social media presence, you need something.
02:26:57.000
Because that's what the clubs are booking now, I hear, is just the person that on TikTok, they have a million followers.
02:27:06.000
They're just doing whatever they can to fill the place, right?
02:27:09.000
You got to think of a comedy club that had to go through the pandemic and, you know, how many of them were shut down.
02:27:16.000
When I went to Stand Up Live this past weekend with Tony, first of all, amazing fucking place.
02:27:29.000
But the thing about it is that, like, when you get to a place like that, you realize, like, It's hard to keep a place like this open.
02:27:42.000
How much money did it cost them when they were shut down?
02:27:45.000
I mean, fortunately for them, they're in Arizona, so they weren't really shut down that long.
02:27:55.000
My favorite is let's put the plastic thing in between you and the next person and then COVID knows it can't go this way.
02:28:15.000
So I think they probably weren't as bad off as the store.
02:28:20.000
The store was shut down for a long fucking time.
02:28:32.000
Poor understanding of what it requires to keep a business open.
02:28:39.000
I love LA. It's the fifth largest economy in the world.
02:28:52.000
I did the Regent Theater in downtown LA and I get a phone call on the way and my agent is like, okay, there's a hostage situation.
02:29:08.000
Yeah, and then Chappelle got assaulted that night, too.
02:29:15.000
And they're going to have to figure out how they can mitigate what they did during the pandemic and then the natural progression of homelessness and crime and defunding the police and all the chaos that came out of the George Floyd riots.
02:29:29.000
It's going the wrong way, and it's going the wrong way.
02:29:34.000
You can look at the charts, the crime and the violence and all the things that are up, the burglaries and home invasions.
02:29:45.000
They're putting people back on the streets after they've committed violent crimes.
02:29:52.000
They didn't manage it well during the pandemic, and they're not managing it well now.
02:29:56.000
The problem is they're also trapped in this ideology of progressiveness.
02:30:06.000
To recognize that there's inequality everywhere, and we have to take that into consideration when we're prosecuting people and arresting people.
02:30:14.000
Yes, sort of, but you also have to fucking stop crime.
02:30:17.000
You can't allow people, because crime begets more crime.
02:30:26.000
Now, someone else is going to do it to Chappelle, right?
02:30:29.000
The guy literally tweeted, Chappelle, you're next.
02:30:46.000
The world's not fair, but it's not fair in some ways that at least are manageable.
02:30:57.000
All the fucking resources we're pumping into Ukraine, where did we get that money?
02:31:04.000
Where the fuck did you get four billion dollars?
02:31:07.000
We could have used that to make the education system better in this country.
02:31:10.000
All these years we weren't going to war with Ukraine or with Russia.
02:31:14.000
Imagine that if they just all of a sudden have filled four billion dollars.
02:31:31.000
But what I have learned living here in Texas is that we don't like government involved in our shit.
02:31:39.000
Well, Texas has sort of this history of independence because it wasn't even a part of the union originally.
02:31:51.000
I don't know if it seceded, but there was a rough go of it.
02:31:55.000
You know, there was a rough go of even settling this area.
02:31:58.000
This area was overrun by the Comanches, and they killed everybody until they figured out revolvers.
02:32:03.000
And then once people figured out revolvers, they're like, oh, I've got more than one shot here.
02:32:17.000
He also figured out you have to hunt the Comanches the way the Comanches travel.
02:32:21.000
So you have to not use fire because you have to do what's called a cold camp.
02:32:25.000
You camp with no fire so they can't see where you are.
02:32:28.000
You have to be really sneaky and you can't dress like a soldier.
02:32:35.000
It's like the modern version of a Navy SEAL. They figured out how to infiltrate and be the most extreme badasses to overcome the Comanches.
02:32:47.000
And the revolver was first thought to be a useless weapon.
02:32:53.000
But most people were like, why do I need all these bullets?
02:32:58.000
If I'm going to have a duel with a gentleman...
02:33:01.000
I will have plenty of time to reload my musket pistol.
02:33:05.000
But they realized that these Comanches could ride their horses and shoot arrows off the horses.
02:33:12.000
And they would keep the arrows in their fingers.
02:33:14.000
So they would have like four arrows in their fingers.
02:33:18.000
And they would go like, shh, one, shh, two, shh, three, shh, four.
02:33:22.000
And they would do it while they were riding the horse towards them.
02:33:25.000
And these poor guys were in there with the fucking musket like, hey, thunk, thunk, thunk.
02:33:30.000
So it was a long-ass time before they figured out how to conquer this area.
02:33:37.000
They would say, you know, Mr. Wilson, what would be great for you?
02:33:47.000
So these fucking assholes, they'd give them these plots of land, they'd put up fences and everything, and the Comanches would come and slaughter everybody.
02:33:53.000
And then they would have to have a response for the Comanches slaughtering everybody, so then they would bring in the troops and attack them.
02:33:58.000
It wasn't that much different than what they do today.
02:34:11.000
I mean, I'm not a political comedian, but Russia and Ukraine, you think, oh, we're so evolved.
02:34:19.000
Well, the Russia-Ukraine thing is crazy because a lot of them speak the same language.
02:34:23.000
And they're like right next door to each other.
02:34:37.000
And you talk to my friend there and they're like, no, no, no, dude.
02:34:49.000
But this is because the Russians annexed that part of the world.
02:34:52.000
Because they took over many, many years ago during the Cold War and forced that culture on them.
02:35:12.000
I want to be there for the season finale of Ukraine.
02:35:24.000
There's something about her fake crying that really gets my panties in a jimmer.
02:35:34.000
I don't know if she did it, but I hope she did it.
02:35:39.000
Because I showed it to my friend who used to do cocaine.
02:35:48.000
And if she just took a little toot, just a little pick-me-up.
02:35:55.000
Imagine if they drug tested her immediately afterwards.
02:36:20.000
Ms. Heard, we're going to have to take you for examination and drug test you.
02:36:34.000
They're like, this whole thing of like, were they, were they not doing drugs?
02:36:38.000
And it's like, yeah, dude, they were having, they were, they're wild.
02:36:45.000
You've never seen a couple like that where the guys, they're in it.
02:36:50.000
It makes his dick hard to be with a woman who's crazy and then they fight and they fuck and they fight and they fuck and it's exciting.
02:37:00.000
Anybody who doesn't get it, they're not Jack Sparrow.
02:37:04.000
The guy's doing flower bags filled with coke every week.
02:37:15.000
She threw a fucking vodka bottle at him or something and smashed his finger and cut the tip of his finger off.
02:37:28.000
He's banging it like he's riding a rodeo bronco with his one arm up in the air.
02:37:38.000
But apparently she used to shit on them for being old.
02:37:50.000
Remember the whole fucking Winona Ryder, Johnny Depp era?
02:38:05.000
She made fun of it because it was still on his arm.
02:38:31.000
It just, I mean, you can do it if you really want to do it.
02:38:45.000
Yeah, it said Wynonna Forever and he changed it to Wino Forever.
02:38:51.000
So it was Wynonna Forever and he changed it to Wino Forever.
02:38:58.000
That's sort of disrespectful to change it to wino, though.
02:39:10.000
I follow a lot of people on TikTok that are removing facial tattoos.
02:39:24.000
And then there's this thing in LA. You can get a tattoo that lasts for one year now.
02:40:16.000
Because I never get it when a pretty girl decides to do that.
02:40:26.000
That's usually the common denominator when I find them on TikTok.
02:40:38.000
Yeah, it's just a weird thing when someone starts to fuck around with the face and put like a little heart next to their cheek and like, hey, hey, hey!
02:40:56.000
When you're hanging out with Tyson, you're just like, oh my god, it's Mike Tyson.
02:40:59.000
You don't even notice that he has a face tattoo.
02:41:05.000
He was the first one to do that, besides Maori and shit.
02:41:10.000
Besides them, the first celebrity face tattoo...
02:41:27.000
I think he was going to do more of his face, too.
02:41:58.000
No, dude, it's an arrow, and you're killing that motherfucker.
02:42:21.000
You'd always wear a glove like Michael Jackson.
02:42:33.000
When Tom and I got fuck you money, there's a number in my mind that I would get F-U-C-K-Y-O-U and then a dollar sign.
02:42:44.000
Yeah, and then I'll be like, they'll be all, why'd you get those knuckle tats?
02:42:59.000
Yeah, but you're pretty fuck you money compared to most people.
02:43:02.000
What you are is the most important part of fuck you money.
02:43:09.000
It's amazing because you're completely self-sustaining with the podcast and your fans.
02:43:16.000
You know, you guys are providing great content and great shows and everybody loves it and they share it and it keeps growing.
02:43:23.000
The thing about, like, podcasts and stuff like that is, like, you can tell, like, some of them just keep growing.
02:43:38.000
They get tired of the way people treat people or, you know, maybe their approach to life is tiresome.
02:43:59.000
Every admission is just to make other people feel better about them.
02:44:12.000
Sometimes people will talk about stuff and you go, man, I'm not buying it with this dude.
02:44:15.000
This does not feel like a person who really either cares about what he's talking about or...
02:44:27.000
Yeah, that was the greatest acting gig of her life.
02:44:33.000
When you're watching it, it's like, you know what I'm saying?
02:44:37.000
But with some people, some people will talk and it resonates.
02:44:45.000
This is what they're really thinking about, is what they really believe, and I can get behind that.
02:44:54.000
People smell bullshit way better than we'd like to think.
02:44:58.000
We're not 100% at it, but we're pretty fucking good.
02:45:02.000
But then there are people that believe her, so then what the fuck is wrong with them?
02:45:11.000
I heard he did a cavity search on her looking for bags of coke in her vagina!
02:45:18.000
Because that's not the first time she's even hinted about having bags of coke in her vagina.
02:45:29.000
I would never check my wife's vagina for bags of coke.
02:45:45.000
I don't even know if it's a true story, but if it was, just the fact that she said it, what kind of life are you living?
02:45:51.000
There's not a normal, healthy woman out there who's going to relate to this.
02:45:56.000
A normal, healthy woman who wants a normal, healthy man in her life who's like, hold on, what are you guys doing?
02:46:02.000
He's got his hand in your pussy, using you like a goddamn puppet because he's checking for coke bags?
02:46:16.000
I can't find it, but I know you took it, and I need coke.
02:46:21.000
I mean, and like, who would have thought that this trial...
02:46:32.000
You're like, wait, this fucking insanity is doing him a benefit.
02:46:37.000
I mean, I would not have taken that risk personally.
02:46:43.000
I think he knew all he had to do is get her on the stand.
02:46:52.000
He has to go first because he establishes a base of like, well, he's definitely done some stupid shit.
02:46:59.000
He definitely does too much coke and drinks too much and he's full of chaos and everything.
02:47:03.000
But right now, Sober seems like that's who he really is.
02:47:30.000
Amber, at one point in time, seemed to have lost the cocaine.
02:47:43.000
This has been really good for people that felt were jealous about movie stars.
02:47:47.000
Will Smith smacking Chris Rock and his relationship with Jada being examined and then this Johnny Depp thing.
02:48:17.000
Money's great because you don't have to worry about the day-to-dayness.
02:48:29.000
Listen, when I do my special, I was in the makeup chair, and the next I go, yeah, but in 12 hours I'm going to be wiping asses.
02:48:36.000
Like, this is not, you know, like I'm going to be changing diapers.
02:48:44.000
But you have that contrast, and I think that's what's really important.
02:48:47.000
And that's one of the things that does happen when you become a parent, is you recognize that you have to take care of these kids, these little beautiful human beings that you're intimately connected to.
02:49:00.000
It's so much more important than everything else.
02:49:02.000
So everything else, even though you have to focus on it and concentrate on it, you become disciplined and even more ambitious because of it, I think, for a lot of people, it's not as important.
02:49:11.000
And so because of that, it gives you more perspective.
02:49:16.000
It's their only thing and everything, whether they sell tickets or they become weird and needy.
02:49:24.000
I could send you some Instagram stories that you need to follow.
02:49:37.000
But some people got on cable shows and then they got a little bit of a following because of these cable shows.
02:49:53.000
The type of people that seek out being a comic, that's not a normal person for the most part.
02:50:03.000
You get successful and you're like, oh, oh shit, my parents still hate me.
02:50:13.000
But you get better at being a person, and as you get better being a person, you shift your attention from needing validation and needing attention to getting better at what you do that you love.
02:50:25.000
And then your energy goes in a healthy place, and then it becomes getting better at your act, killing, better at putting together a special, better at podcasts.
02:50:37.000
It's not so much needing to be heard and seen, which I think was the motivator in the beginning.
02:50:52.000
Hence the crazy outfits and like, I'm gonna fucking entertain you guys.
02:50:56.000
Like, you had babysitters, you had to hire, you left the shittiness of your day-to-day to get here, and I'm gonna take care of you.
02:51:05.000
It's more of like giving than just like, oh, my hole, my fucking needy shit.
02:51:16.000
That's why you do fucking four-hour podcasts, you know, five days a week.
02:51:23.000
Well, I think it's definitely, you can't have this attitude that you're doing this all for you.
02:51:32.000
You just have to be doing the thing the best you can, and the thing is something that other people enjoy.
02:51:37.000
But any time that you're spending doing it for you is wasted time.
02:51:45.000
I'm not saying it's not a benefit to you, but you can't think of it as you're doing it for you.
02:51:51.000
You got to think about doing the thing the best you can so that people enjoy it.
02:51:59.000
Doing it the best of your ability on that given day.
02:52:03.000
And, you know, I have better shows and shows that were like, eh, I talk too much.
02:52:08.000
Maybe I should have shut the fuck up and let the other person talk.
02:52:15.000
And that's why I also have a ritual before podcasts.
02:52:20.000
I make sure that I get a really hard workout, and then I do the sauna.
02:52:25.000
On days where I do cardio, I do the cold plunge.
02:52:27.000
Days where I don't do cardio, I just do the sauna.
02:52:34.000
From the time I start to the time I've done, it's just about two and a half hours, including sauna.
02:52:39.000
Because it depends on what kind of workout I like to do.
02:52:42.000
But if I do kickboxing, so it's like an hour of the kickboxing, but then it's a solid half hour plus of stretching.
02:52:55.000
Because that's the best time when you're exhausted to loosen everything up.
02:53:01.000
Back and forth, which is like 45 minutes, maybe even more.
02:53:10.000
And it's so much harder than anything else I'll ever have to do in life.
02:53:15.000
The sauna and the cold plunge and the workouts are so hard that when I get in here, like complicated subjects and, you know, whether or not people are going to be angry about your positions on things or that doesn't mean anything to me.
02:53:37.000
But that's also the beauty of being an adult, is you go, hey dude, I know I got this in my head, I gotta fucking manage.
02:53:46.000
You take the responsibility for this, and you go, I know what I need to do.
02:53:51.000
I do Pilates, I meditate, I fucking do yoga as well, I have to go for a walk, I have to be in nature.
02:54:08.000
But we ignore that aspect because it's inconvenient.
02:54:14.000
I think, in general, families all across the board listening to this, you'd be happier and healthier if you all went on a walk together.
02:54:22.000
Just do something together where you're physically active together and you just do some natural human stuff.
02:54:29.000
Play a little, have a little game, do something where you're out in the backyard or you're going for a walk around the neighborhood or just fucking do something together.
02:54:41.000
I think I have extreme requirements, but that's also because I built my body into this thing that needs those things.
02:54:57.000
Yeah, my son, my older boy is like that, just like that.
02:55:01.000
And I bet your older boy, if he had bad parents, they'd medicate him.
02:55:08.000
But there are some people out there that don't like a child that has too much fucking energy and they want to medicate him.
02:55:16.000
They had a kid and they were like, the kid has this and that.
02:55:21.000
I think we're really so quick to label everybody.
02:55:32.000
And most kids, like, I thought that I was not interested in school.
02:55:39.000
I was not interested in education until I got out of school.
02:55:41.000
And then I realized, oh, it wasn't that I wasn't interested in educating myself.
02:55:46.000
I was not interested in being talked to by morons.
02:55:52.000
Because I'm not saying morons like they weren't intelligent, but they weren't good at talking to people.
02:55:55.000
And if you're going to be a professor, an effective professor, you have to be engaging.
02:56:00.000
You can't just relay the information because that sucks.
02:56:03.000
That's like a shitty comedian that just says the jokes and you have no delivery.
02:56:07.000
There's something to being a professor that you're persuading someone to be enthusiastic about a subject.
02:56:16.000
And if you go to school with most, and there's a lot of those people out there, unfortunately, and you go to school with them, you're like, boring, boring, boring, get me out.
02:56:25.000
And then one day, you stumble upon a YouTube video where some guy is talking about black holes.
02:56:30.000
And he's engaged, and he's into it, and he's like, oh my god, I give a fuck about black holes.
02:56:38.000
Well, there was a point in college or in high school where I was like, oh, the teacher's just telling me what's in the book.
02:56:44.000
So why don't I just read the book and I'm not going to come to class?
02:56:47.000
And I did that in college for one class I never even showed up to.
02:57:02.000
But enthusiasm is something that gets people engaged.
02:57:07.000
If you go on stage and phone it in, people are not interested.
02:57:09.000
But if you go on stage and you're fucking super engaged.
02:57:12.000
And I was very fortunate to have a few teachers on a few subjects that were really good.
02:57:17.000
And you're like, oh, why do I love English with Mrs. Wilson?
02:57:23.000
She's locked in and she's talking to you about these things.
02:57:28.000
I had a science professor when I was in eighth grade, a science teacher, and I remember he said, you want to really hurt your brain, he goes, just go outside and look up.
02:57:39.000
Look up and realize that that is infinity, and it just goes on forever.
02:57:46.000
Just keep thinking about how big it means to have no end.
02:58:01.000
There was like 17-year-old kids in my school that would show up for like the first couple weeks and then drop out again because they had missed so many classes and they had failed so many years that they were 17 and they were in the eighth grade.
02:58:17.000
They would be there in the beginning of school and then they would quit after a couple weeks.
02:58:26.000
That one guy planting that one thing in my head at that time.
02:58:48.000
He built his own fucking log cabin in the woods.
02:58:55.000
And then by the time he taught philosophy, he was just so inspiring.
02:59:03.000
I was never funny in high school, but I was really good at making funny cartoons.
02:59:15.000
I was a comic book illustrator, so I'd draw those kind of things.
02:59:19.000
And I had this one teacher that was a Vietnam vet, and he was a little cracked.
02:59:25.000
And one time someone asked for a pencil, and he pulled the fucking drawer out of his desk and threw it across the room with the pencils in it.
02:59:43.000
And I would always draw this guy standing on a stool.
02:59:46.000
So I always drew cartoons of him, but he was always standing on a stool.
02:59:52.000
And so he said to me once, he goes, what is that?
03:00:08.000
Yeah, I got kicked out of another class because I drew this Spanish teacher without her makeup on.
03:00:19.000
So I put her dress with the head of a werewolf.
03:00:28.000
And then there was another lady who was an anthropology teacher and she was fascinated by all the chimpanzee studies and all these different things that people were doing.
03:00:44.000
And so there was this kid in class who was a high school football player who was a real ass kisser and he was like so obviously like sucking up to her to get better grades and so I drew a cartoon of him banging her monkey style.
03:00:58.000
I would get in the class early and I would draw them on the blackboard so that and then I would pull the screen down so that like behind the screen there would be a cartoon.
03:01:19.000
I used to have nightmares when I got out of high school that I failed and I had to go back.
03:01:23.000
Because I didn't want to be a high school dropout.
03:01:35.000
But I only went because I did want people thinking I was a loser.
03:01:39.000
Most of the time, I didn't even have a full course load.
03:01:48.000
And this is when I was still competing, and then I was doing stand-up.
03:01:52.000
And when I was doing stand-up in the beginning, it was like, God, I'm fucking terrible at it.
03:01:56.000
How could I imagine that I could ever have a career doing this?
03:01:59.000
So I was keeping my options open by still attending college, but it was just a giant waste of time.
03:02:09.000
I think for me, because I studied philosophy and I love to read those books, and I look back at it really fondly because that's the only four years of my life, or actually five, I took a year off, where I could really just sit and think and smoke cigarettes and get weird and think about the world,
03:02:30.000
I'm worried about that experience today for kids, because I worry they'll be ideologically captured.
03:02:37.000
There's so much woke nonsense on colleges these days that I don't think it allows for diversity of thought.
03:02:49.000
It's just like a natural inclination that young people have towards You know being charitable and kind and doing better than their parents did and stomping out Discrimination and all those things are like good instincts, but those good instincts sometimes prop up really fucking divisive and shitty behavior because you're limiting the way people can approach things So it's your way the highway and maybe someone is smarter than you and they have a different perspective That's the issue I take with all of this.
03:03:27.000
I think that's what's dangerous in academia, is they're kowtowing to these crybaby weenies that can't take the other side of the argument.
03:03:41.000
It's also, there's no real representation of alternative viewpoints.
03:03:48.000
Because I know there's some intelligent conservative people, but it seems like they all go into business.
03:03:57.000
Because the conservative liberals are the ones that want to blame, you know, white privilege and the reason why black people don't hike.
03:04:04.000
Whatever it is, you know, whatever crazy shit that they're involved in, in grievance studies.
03:04:09.000
I don't know if you ever paid attention to it, but Helen Pluckrose, James Lindsay, and Peter Boghossian out of the University of Portland.
03:04:19.000
They put together these false studies like homoerotic behavior in a dog park and rape culture in a dog park.
03:04:30.000
They wrote these fake things like, oh, fat bodybuilding was one.
03:04:40.000
So they wrote these fake papers to show how ridiculous academic studies are.
03:04:45.000
A lot of the way you guys are approaching these subjects is beyond parody.
03:04:52.000
You can send these parody studies, these parody papers, and people will not just review them, but they will award you for them.
03:05:05.000
James Lindsay's been on the podcast a few times, and Peter's been on as well.
03:05:23.000
But instead of recognizing that there's a real problem with these things, so much so that someone can make a parody and it's indistinguishable.
03:05:34.000
Pull up the dog park work because it's so funny.
03:05:37.000
It's also, the way that they reviewed it, they must have been so accepting that they didn't even realize that the amount of time that he said he watched dogs fuck at a dog park is physically impossible.
03:05:50.000
Wait, and here's my favorite, is that they integrated these words like queer performity.
03:05:59.000
Human reactions to rape culture and queer performity at urban dog parks in Portland, Oregon.
03:06:08.000
So they studied this and they said that they put in, I think they said they put in an impossible amount of time.
03:06:15.000
Like you would have to be there every day for 10 years.
03:06:35.000
It sounds like inclusivity, performative aspect.
03:06:54.000
You see those little dogs that are trying to get away?
03:06:55.000
My dog used to get raped a lot at the park, FIFO. He was a rescue.
03:07:05.000
So when I studied philosophy in school, we started with the Greeks, and then you go into modernity, and you learn the Enlightenment.
03:07:13.000
And then at the very end of my—I went to a USF, so it's a Jesuit college.
03:07:18.000
So it was very steeped in traditional, whatever, colonial ideas, whatever.
03:07:30.000
I learned about logic and how syllogisms work and Venn diagrams.
03:07:35.000
And then at the very end of my education in the last year, we learned postmodernism.
03:07:44.000
There's a bunch of little narratives and everyone has their own experience.
03:07:48.000
And, you know, Jacques Derrida, we're writing in the margins of the book.
03:07:52.000
And I remember my professors being like, okay, so here's postmodernism.
03:07:59.000
It's the fucking stupidest thing you've ever written.
03:08:01.000
But we have to let you know about the stuff before we let you go.
03:08:06.000
Cut to 20 years later, and it's the dominant way of thinking.
03:08:11.000
And it's so illogical to somebody who's learned proper logic and Western philosophy.
03:08:17.000
And you're like, wait, this is the stuff I was told is complete horseshit.
03:08:22.000
And now it's like we're in the upside down and there's no men and there's no women and dogs are rapists and blah, blah, blah.
03:08:33.000
I think a lot of these postmodern thinkers became public icons like your Derrida's and your...
03:08:45.000
I think it became sexy to know these buzzwords.
03:08:49.000
So you teach kids something cool, and then they run with it, and then it takes off.
03:08:54.000
They like forming good sentences that sound intelligent.
03:09:01.000
I was watching this girl on TikTok describe how going on a diet is fatphobic.
03:09:08.000
But she's saying it in this kind of condescending but educational way.
03:09:18.000
And she's explaining how you should just exist.
03:09:24.000
Because if you go on a diet, you're giving in to fatphobia.
03:09:28.000
Like, ignoring the science of health, but enforcing the ideological principles of wokeness.
03:09:35.000
The dominant male patriarchal archetype that tells you that you're fattening it.
03:09:40.000
I love it when they string all those words together.
03:10:02.000
You get to be in the LBGT community with little to no effort.
03:10:13.000
You could have sex with girls, just like normal, and be non-binary, and you're in.
03:10:20.000
I think you should have to suck dicks to say you're part...
03:10:37.000
How come you guys aren't fucking as much as us?
03:10:46.000
And then you've got everybody else underneath them.
03:10:48.000
God, could you imagine how much fun it would have been?
03:10:52.000
Before the AIDS? Well, yeah, pre-AIDS, obvious.
03:11:00.000
We had a hold on HIV. Things were calmed the fuck down.
03:11:04.000
Did you ever have a time where you were worried that you could have caught it?
03:11:08.000
From the time I, from 1984 until I got married.
03:11:20.000
I remember being in my car driving, listening to the radio, and they announced that Magic Johnson had HIV, and I was like, oh my god.
03:11:36.000
No, I don't think it's AZT. AZT was the one they stopped using because it was killing them quicker than AIDS was.
03:11:47.000
The history of AZT and HIV, that's a long one to go into.
03:11:52.000
But the protease inhibitors, I think, were the big drugs that help people.
03:11:56.000
They get to a point where they don't even test positive for it anymore, which is wild.
03:12:08.000
Because when I was in the 90s, I was so scared.
03:12:11.000
I thought of times that I had sex without a condom on the road, like if I had gotten someone that had HIV, and they gave it to me, and I didn't even know, and it has a 10-year incubation period.
03:12:27.000
When you're 22, 23 years old, you don't make the best fucking safest choices when you're out there.
03:12:32.000
And then all of a sudden I'm taking an insurance test to see if I've got HIV. I'm like, oh my God, I was fucking terrified.
03:12:40.000
Because when I was 23 or 24, you thought everybody was going to die of it.
03:12:44.000
We were waiting for the shoe to drop because it was that 10-year incubation period they scared you with.
03:12:59.000
Well, I remember in the beginning, they thought you could get AIDS from cat saliva.
03:13:03.000
And my mother was like, don't pet cats because the saliva gives you AIDS. Do you remember about mosquito scare?
03:13:12.000
Mosquitoes could give you AIDS. Mosquitoes might give you AIDS. Oh my God.
03:13:26.000
We're like, just try, like, what's the most offensive thing you could say?
03:13:30.000
And he goes up and he's like, who here doesn't have AIDS? And people clap, like, I don't have AIDS. And you're like, oh, there was so...
03:13:48.000
You know they really do think that HIV came from someone that had contact with a monkey.
03:13:55.000
And here's the deal, is that I say that to people and they're like, you're out of your mind, Christina.
03:14:00.000
I'm like, no, it was believed that a guy had sex with a monkey, right?
03:14:04.000
No, they think it was from butchering a monkey.
03:14:09.000
They think when they're cutting up monkeys for bush meat, and they do do that, that they might have had a nick in their hand or get the blood in their hand.
03:14:19.000
If you're living in the jungle, you get scratches all over you, right?
03:14:22.000
If you get blood from this HIV-infected monkey on those scratches, that was one of the theories.
03:14:28.000
But what about the gay flight attendant who had butt sex with the monkey?
03:14:33.000
I think that's like the Richard Gere gerbil rumor.
03:14:43.000
Can you imagine how much you have to hate somebody to spread that rumor?
03:14:47.000
And then you've got to go on the radio and go, I just want to let everybody know I did not suck all those cocks and have to get me fucking stomach pumped.
03:15:07.000
Oh my God, remember growing up and we all thought that Liberace wasn't gay?
03:15:20.000
You know, I didn't think about it because I don't give a fuck about a guy playing the piano.
03:15:26.000
You didn't have a poster of Liberace in a young Joe Rogan's room?
03:15:29.000
But, you know, Liberace's early stuff is bizarre.
03:15:35.000
There's a song called When Liberace Winks at Me, and it was like a famous song where a woman was singing, and Liberace was just playing the piano, and he would look over at her and wink, and she would like...
03:15:48.000
So it was like her pretending that she was in love with Liberace.
03:15:54.000
She's this giant fan of Liberace, and Liberace pretending that he's seducing her.
03:16:06.000
And we have to think about it from the context, before you play it, you gotta think about it from the context of the time.
03:16:11.000
I mean, this is like, what is this, like 1950 or something like that?
03:16:22.000
I'm going to say 55. Can you imagine having to do these ridiculous videos to pretend that you're into women?
03:16:36.000
And back then, you couldn't, you know, there was nothing you could do.
03:17:17.000
There's another version I've heard that sounds pretty clear.
03:17:25.000
I loved her and her hair rolled up and just so elegant.
03:17:42.000
But when you watch it, you've got to think about this 1950s whatever it was scene.
03:18:11.000
Jackson kind of has a LBGT hair style going, doesn't she?
03:18:42.000
When he winks it gives you a little star where his eye is.
03:18:47.000
Somebody had to go in on those frames and like make the star over his eyeball.
03:18:52.000
But you know this is the studio being like, alright guys we all know Liberace.
03:19:16.000
I think it's, well, it's black and white, which was, when did color TV start?
03:19:23.000
Because they didn't have music videos, you know, it wasn't a music video.
03:19:40.000
Because you know this is a PR move of like, hey, we know that Liberace is into guys.
03:19:45.000
We have to completely shift that so no one gets a whiff.
03:19:51.000
It could also just be like that's the kind of music they made back then.
03:19:58.000
Even if you told people, like if Liberace butt-fucked a gymnasium full of football players, it doesn't...
03:20:07.000
You know, there's like NBC, CBS, and ABC, and that's where Liberace live.
03:20:13.000
He's out there with fucking giant sequins on, banging guys.
03:20:28.000
The favorite is when he gets so much surgery that he can't sleep with his eyes closed.
03:20:33.000
And then number two, when he makes his lover, Matt Damon, look like a younger version of him.
03:20:45.000
Joey Diaz had one of the best bits ever about that documentary.
03:20:57.000
I wish I could remember all the parts of the bit, but the point is that all happened.
03:21:08.000
You're like, I want to fuck a younger version of me.
03:21:13.000
I mean, do people masturbate into the mirror like American Psycho?
03:21:17.000
I bet Liberace's jack went off in front of a mirror before.
03:21:23.000
See if you can find the actual guy's face from behind the candelabra, the Liberace's lover who got plastic surgery.
03:21:37.000
But as time went on, he got more and more surgery.
03:21:41.000
Like he got his chin done to look like a Liberace.
03:21:48.000
Libroxy's there with a fucking penis pump just sending it home every day.
03:21:57.000
My mother was devastated, and she was so surprised that he was gay.
03:22:17.000
He was on one of those television shows, one of those talk shows.
03:22:29.000
And he's like telling a story and you're looking at his face and you're just like, fucking yikes.
03:23:02.000
It's like, how far would you go for a good life?
03:23:04.000
First of all, if Scott was a woman, I'd feel bad.
03:23:34.000
You know, you're winning if you enjoy your life.
03:23:37.000
You clearly enjoy your life and he clearly enjoys his life.
03:23:45.000
You know what makes me sad is that men die early.
03:23:47.000
I think I heard on your podcast a million years ago, like their brains atrophy and they get like a...
03:23:56.000
It's all your fault, and it's Joe Rogan's fault, and...
03:24:08.000
Humans, we have to do a lot better at taking care of ourselves, Christina.
03:24:19.000
Well, you're going to get those no matter what.
03:24:34.000
They've been able to detect microplastics in the blood for the first time.
03:24:42.000
They say you have so much microplastics that I think it's every week.
03:25:05.000
I want to say it was like a credit card a month.
03:25:15.000
When you were saying it, I was like, he's probably right.
03:25:22.000
It's so nuts that knowing it's true doesn't help me.
03:25:25.000
I still can't imagine I'm really eating a credit card worth of plastic every week.
03:25:31.000
It's a little microplastics and they slowly accumulate.
03:25:42.000
So these microplastics are, we've infested the world with microplastics.
03:25:50.000
That's where all this, like, a lot of this gender bender shit is coming from, too.
03:25:55.000
Do you know what's so funny about the gender stuff, by the way?
03:26:01.000
Like, all my old school gay friends, like people my age that I've grown up with, I'll be like, what do you think about this whole gender stuff?
03:26:11.000
You know, like, my older gay dude friends are like, nah, I don't buy it.
03:26:19.000
Maybe it's just a way to, like, be different, you know?
03:26:21.000
My favorite was when Caitlyn Jenner didn't believe in gay marriage.
03:26:35.000
But I think she was a kind of staunch Republican at one point.
03:26:42.000
It's like when Kanye has the MAGA hat on, no one knows what to do.
03:27:01.000
There's things that are happening that could set in motion actions that could change civilization forever.
03:27:10.000
There's evidence of real corruption that's ignored.
03:27:16.000
There's real threats of war, including nuclear war with Russia.
03:27:20.000
There's real threats of some sort of a cyber war with China.
03:27:27.000
Environmental problems that some people tell you don't have to worry about and other people tell you they're going to kill everybody.
03:27:34.000
And then on top of that, you have natural disasters.
03:27:36.000
I mean, every six to eight hundred thousand years, Yellowstone blows.
03:27:47.000
It's going to wipe out almost everything on this continent.
03:27:50.000
And the last time it blew was 600,000 years ago.
03:28:01.000
I think they said they have hundreds of earthquakes every month.
03:28:05.000
Like that's how many earthquakes they have at Yellowstone.
03:28:09.000
There's geysers you can time because there's so much volcanic activity that the water shoots up at the specific amount of these increments.
03:28:21.000
That's fucking boiling water shooting out from underneath the earth.
03:28:26.000
You know, they didn't even know about that until they flew satellites over it.
03:28:30.000
Yeah, they flew satellites over it and they realized it was a caldera.
03:28:36.000
What's left is like the enormous crater of a volcano that was, I want to say it was like 300 kilometers wide.
03:28:46.000
So it's an enormous volcano, and it blows the top of it off, and it's just left with a crater.
03:29:09.000
They're gonna get eaten by alligators or something.
03:29:20.000
You literally have to be living on New Zealand with some sort of a supply of food.
03:29:26.000
Those kind of things, they don't just kill people.
03:29:32.000
So they stop all the sunlight from coming in so the temperatures drop and then food doesn't grow and you have massive famines and it takes years for the shit to come out of the sky.
03:29:45.000
I think about, and especially because I watched when Elon, when he's on here, and he's like, we're going to go to space because we have to go to the next thing because Earth will be, it's fragile.
03:29:57.000
And I think even with the pandy, you realize like, oh, government's not going to take care of anything.
03:30:13.000
Yeah, you realize how ridiculous, how tenuous this all is.
03:30:18.000
Like, oh, I trusted the government more before this pandemic.
03:30:29.000
I'm going to move to Texas and buy some guns and buy some land.
03:30:33.000
I didn't think about whether I had to trust the governor.
03:30:37.000
But they didn't have that kind of power over your life.
03:30:40.000
And then when all of a sudden they did, you're like, what?
03:30:42.000
And then you realize, when you hear that Eric Garcetti guy talk on TV, you're like, oh my god, you're a moron!
03:30:53.000
You said you took a photo with your mask so you held your breath?
03:30:58.000
Yeah, you'd like to think that people in those positions are smarter than us or just like superior people and they're not.
03:31:06.000
Some of them are great and some of them are only doing that job because most smart people don't want it.
03:31:13.000
If you had all the people that are working as CEOs and engineers and all these really brilliant people, if they wanted to be president, they'd have a far better argument than most of these dullards, most of these fucking weirdos.
03:31:26.000
There's a political class of people in this country that are basically bad actors.
03:31:34.000
They're weirdos with like fake stances on things and they have these weird outbursts on Twitter and they're just fucking strange people, man.
03:31:44.000
And they're out there and they're running at least part of how the cultural conversation takes place.
03:31:51.000
Could you imagine being president or wanting to be?
03:31:59.000
Remember when Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi got on their one knee for George Floyd with African garb on?
03:32:09.000
And it turned out that the pattern that they used was from a tribe that was particularly invested in the slaving industry.
03:32:20.000
That's what happens when you fucking pander to people.
03:32:25.000
But those are the only people that are running for that job.
03:32:28.000
If you had some genius person, the genius people go to work for Google.
03:32:36.000
They don't want to invest in this broken-ass system and have a bunch of people lie about them and have this bizarre cult of personality ritual takes place where you're literally having a popularity contest to see who runs the city.
03:32:58.000
So half the fucking, half of humanity hates you.
03:33:07.000
If it's a Republican, they're going to take away our rights.
03:33:09.000
They're going to take away this and take away our abortion.
03:33:11.000
If a Democrat wins, they're going to tax us in.
03:33:26.000
This is a great middle ground because it's a very progressive, open-minded city, but it's surrounded by guns.
03:33:32.000
And I kind of like them now, and I grew up very, very, very Angeleno, and I didn't realize what a bubble it was culturally.
03:33:39.000
Not that I, like, I still fucking mad respect for 818, always, but like...
03:33:47.000
Like, I love L.A., but now that I'm out of it, I'm like, oh, okay, no one gives a shit about the stuff they care about.
03:33:58.000
Right now, there's some kind of a hysteria, yes.
03:34:03.000
Friends that I have that come here to Austin and then they come for a couple days, they're like, dude, it's like I'm in a different world.
03:34:12.000
It was a lot better this last time that I went than like seven, eight months before that.
03:34:20.000
It's not the people of LA. It's the government.
03:34:23.000
If they had lived the same way that Texas did, you would have the same amount of people dead.
03:34:31.000
So I was on Dr. Phil's podcast, and he said that.
03:34:34.000
He's like, there's some study out there that did the mortality rates on Florida, Texas, California.
03:34:39.000
He said that the outcome was the same, which is devastating.
03:34:45.000
They were trying to say that Florida had more deaths, but you have to adjust for age because Florida's age is relatively high.
03:34:57.000
But it's also not good to lose your fucking business.
03:35:01.000
And they've never been able to control a respiratory illness from spreading.
03:35:04.000
And this whole two-week-to-stop-the-spread shit didn't work.
03:35:13.000
You know, that's really what it was in LA. There was no science at all showing that there was outdoor transmission.
03:35:19.000
And they were arresting people for fucking paddleboarding.
03:35:24.000
No, but I... They sent a boat out to arrest this dude for fucking paddleboarding.
03:35:29.000
Yeah, the Coast Guard was arresting a paddleboarder.
03:35:31.000
But even now, I was just in LA. Everyone had COVID. Everyone's got it.
03:35:47.000
But that's the reality of natural disasters, asteroid impacts, alien invasion.
03:36:07.000
You look like a woman from like the 1970s or something from a television show.
03:36:31.000
I wanted something beautiful and something funny, and I say a lot of crazy shit.
03:36:35.000
I say a lot of inappropriate stuff that's going to get me in a lot of trouble, and I don't care.
03:36:39.000
Well, you're one of my favorite comedians alive.
03:36:47.000
People want to get a hold of you on the Instagram.
03:36:49.000
At the Christina P. Christina P. The Christina P. And what else?
03:37:05.000
I'm like, that's one thing that's cool about what you guys have a whole studio.
