Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
00:00:54.000
Dude, you think it protects our parks or something?
00:01:06.000
I got up there, I was like, uh, Matt's wife, you're crazy.
00:01:11.000
This thing might be crazy enough to work, folks.
00:01:18.000
Isn't it wild that so many people get married, but half of them fail?
00:01:22.000
You would think that more people would be like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:01:36.000
I mean, girlfriends, that was just like, that was like free play mode.
00:01:44.000
I got married the first time because I was like, yeah, I'll get married, I guess.
00:01:49.000
When you got divorced, was it a pain in the ass?
00:01:55.000
I mean, it wasn't like, you know, we didn't have kids, so it wasn't like, you know...
00:01:58.000
But did you have to go through financial bullshit?
00:02:04.000
Watching people get drained, watching rich dudes get drained, and you see them going from not having to worry about anything to like, oh shit, how am I going to cover my bills?
00:02:30.000
Even if you're not losing money, it's pretty shitty.
00:02:33.000
I was like, we started hanging out, and then he started getting a divorce, and I was right there for it.
00:02:40.000
From a marriage into a house of, like, five comedians.
00:02:50.000
My air mattress would deflate and I'd take it back to Walmart in the box, return it, get a new one.
00:02:54.000
Bro, if my wife ever leaves me, I'm buying a ranch and I'm inviting everybody to live there.
00:03:04.000
I'm going to buy a giant chunk of land and I'll build everybody a house.
00:03:14.000
Yeah, Stan Hope's roof, his ceiling caught on fire.
00:03:22.000
And he has this metal roof, so the roof didn't catch fire.
00:03:33.000
I could see him living there with the big hole in the ceiling.
00:03:43.000
It's like near Mexico, but it gets cold as fuck.
00:03:53.000
I'm guessing, but I feel like the sand is just fucking...
00:03:57.000
Didn't Francis Ngano have a very similar story about crossing the Sahara?
00:04:02.000
When he crossed the Sahara, didn't he say it was like really fucking cold at night?
00:04:23.000
You know, the Sahara Desert used to be a fucking rainforest.
00:04:31.000
We just, we look at stuff through such a narrow window that we think, oh the desert's the desert, the jungle's the jungle.
00:04:37.000
But there's a natural path that goes back and forth between things becoming like rainforest and jungle and then things becoming sand.
00:04:46.000
We're talking about the ice caps too, how apparently that was lush.
00:04:49.000
Someone told me that used to be lush forest that became, we're in an ice age right now technically, is that correct?
00:04:55.000
I heard if we have polar ice caps, that's technically an ice age.
00:05:08.000
He's like, dude, the ice caps will fully melt and it'll just be lush and we'll all move up there, you know, hundreds of years.
00:05:13.000
Well, if global warming does keep accelerating, the people that have the most optimistic view of it, they say all the places that are wicked cold will just move into those.
00:05:24.000
That guy, he was talking about the Midwest, like Minnesota and shit, like Canada.
00:05:38.000
If an ice age happens, then you can make that walk.
00:05:44.000
He was like, fuck Global War and the ice caps are growing.
00:05:50.000
And then one quick Google, you're like, goddammit, he's right.
00:05:59.000
All these fucking scientists, even the scientists don't agree.
00:06:03.000
There's a mass group of scientists that will tell you, and this is undeniable, that human beings have had a big impact on carbon emissions.
00:06:21.000
Some guy put this, I would like to find out if this is true, some guy put this on Twitter, that there was more CO2 released from that one volcano erupting than everything human beings have ever done.
00:06:46.000
See, people worry about all kinds of things, but supervolcano is what you really should worry about.
00:06:51.000
They've knocked humanity down to just a few thousand people in the past.
00:07:05.000
Fact checked, volcanoes do not produce more CO2 emissions than human activity.
00:07:14.000
So this was June 8th of 2022. So this was one they were talking...
00:07:21.000
It was one of those things I was looking on Twitter.
00:07:24.000
That one little burp by Mount Etten has already put more than 10 times the CO2 in the atmosphere than mankind has in our entire time on Earth.
00:07:37.000
Don't worry about a scam is in the works to tax your minuscule footprint.
00:07:46.000
They might have stole the meme and tried to be clever.
00:07:48.000
Or the meme might have come from this guy's tweet as well.
00:07:53.000
Same allegation has been shared here in 2016. An iteration posted on Twitter June 2nd has retweeted nearly 9,000 times.
00:08:11.000
I'd say that's 40% CO2 if I had to put my eye on it.
00:08:16.000
Well, it's just funny to be like, nah, the Earth's not warming up.
00:08:19.000
Does anyone know the temperature of the entire Earth?
00:08:24.000
The people with limited research that say it's nothing to worry about and the people with limited research that say we're all going to die.
00:08:44.000
And I forget how he was tasked with going about looking into climate change, but what he found was that The periods of ups and downs have always existed.
00:08:59.000
Like this idea that the Earth has ever been at a stable temperature that stays like this, that's just not the case.
00:09:06.000
It goes up and it goes down and it seems like it's always done that forever and it varies wildly.
00:09:13.000
Like they have these big giant spikes up and down.
00:09:16.000
But this is over thousands and thousands of years, right?
00:09:19.000
Maybe millions of years where they're predicting like how long.
00:09:33.000
If we didn't do anything to fuck up the environment, then we could look at the environment for what it is.
00:09:38.000
We could say, oh, look, it looks like it's warming up.
00:09:40.000
Well, we know we're not doing anything about that.
00:09:42.000
If we had no impact, but we know we have an impact.
00:09:45.000
Yeah, but the thing no one thinks about is we were, like, we escaped from nature in, like, a blind rush out of just being constantly destroyed by, like, floods and eaten by predators, and we set up this whole system so we can, like, eat and not all die.
00:09:58.000
Everyone's like, fuck this, and it's like, I mean, we can definitely tweak it to be better, but Jesus Christ, man.
00:10:04.000
A little bit of appreciation of what we've done.
00:10:07.000
It's amazing what people have done, but yeah, for sure, we could do a lot of the shit better.
00:10:12.000
They could figure out different technology for something that doesn't sit in the ocean for, you know.
00:10:21.000
Plastics as they are now, I think most of them are just made with fossil fuels, right?
00:10:28.000
But I know they're putting out biodegradable plastics that are made from plant.
00:10:33.000
You can actually make plastic from hemp, believe it or not.
00:10:40.000
I gotta bring my own bags to my grocery store, and I forget them every time.
00:10:53.000
It is a good move that they don't just give away bags anymore.
00:10:59.000
Even though it's real convenient, it's probably better if you bring a bag.
00:11:08.000
I walk outside my front door and go, fuck, I forgot a bag.
00:11:15.000
It depends on if you're a walking apartment person versus someone who drives.
00:11:19.000
If you're driving to the supermarket, it makes sense to just leave a bag in your trunk.
00:11:23.000
But if you're a walking person in an apartment...
00:11:26.000
And you're in the city, and you forget a bag, that's annoying.
00:11:40.000
I don't know what these fucking pussies are talking about, dude.
00:11:49.000
He's an expert in collisions, like cosmic collisions on Earth.
00:11:54.000
And he said, he goes, global warming is not good.
00:11:58.000
He goes, but what's really bad is global cooling.
00:12:18.000
Or the hardiest of hardy people, they hunted and gathered, like the Inuit.
00:12:31.000
You're living in an ice house covered in animal skins.
00:12:34.000
Hopefully you stab something in the next month.
00:12:42.000
Imagine how much you could just, like, slide on ISO. Like, you're walking.
00:12:53.000
Imagine fucking an ice house that you made with a fire in the center of it on animal skins of animals you killed, knowing that there's no doctors anywhere.
00:13:04.000
So if your woman gets pregnant, you're pulling it out of there in the middle of the tundra with polar bears around your ice house.
00:13:19.000
I mean, of course there were people that figured shit out.
00:13:21.000
But I'm saying, like, he wasn't like, fuck, I wish I had a doctor.
00:13:24.000
Dude, if you grow up like that, that's how you live.
00:13:29.000
I had this dude on, Sonny, from Best Ever Food Review yesterday, and he went and lived with these tribal people and hunted with them and ate what they ate.
00:13:38.000
He reviews, like, exotic foods from all over the world.
00:13:42.000
And he's with these tribal people slurping blood out of the carcass of a goat that they just shot.
00:13:51.000
And you can tell he's barely getting through it on camera.
00:14:08.000
The endothal's healthcare skills helped them survive through the Ice Age.
00:14:14.000
No, they said they found people with broken bones.
00:14:16.000
They're not sure exactly how it did it, but since they were in such small tribes, if they lost someone, it would have been catastrophic to the group.
00:14:22.000
So they all had to work to keep everybody alive closer, too.
00:14:25.000
Yeah, I mean, they probably eventually figured out how to set an arm, right?
00:14:41.000
Well, there's a lot of, like, bones they found of people.
00:14:52.000
Before, like, women had words, and then you'd get home, and they'd just be like...
00:15:10.000
Yeah, the more we're talking about it, the more I'm coming around on this, how sick that shit would have been.
00:15:20.000
People from like 300,000 years ago, whatever a person was back then, they must be so horny.
00:15:25.000
Yeah, well that's why they had all this- Harry and shit.
00:15:29.000
Looking to fuck and throw spears and- Smelling each other.
00:15:32.000
Well, that's why they had all those fucked up rituals because they in their world nature like violence They just like put on a pedestal was that was like the coolest thing That was like the ultimate life force back then just getting squashed by like animals and rocks So they would reenact it all the time Could you imagine if you can go back and get like one of them Neanderthal dudes and like enter into a wrestling tournament?
00:16:01.000
A Neanderthal is probably so much stronger than people.
00:16:17.000
Do you think that they fucked us or we fucked them?
00:16:29.000
Plus, back then, having a powerful woman would be very attractive, because then you'd have kids that could survive.
00:16:37.000
Your gene pool, your gene line would keep going on.
00:16:49.000
I did Fear Factor with Chyna and after she completed one of the stunts, she got out and like full flexed and goes, who's the man?
00:17:10.000
But when women take steroids like that, they develop a male midget's voice.
00:17:43.000
Kelly Preston died, Chyna died, and Coolio died.
00:18:06.000
D-Generation X. This is like my favorite story.
00:18:14.000
Dude, I was like 12. I was like, yo, X-Pac, what's up?
00:18:25.000
He saw a guy that looked like that in the airport and was like, X-Pac!
00:18:34.000
You know I was 12, he had a cut sleeve denim vest.
00:18:37.000
If you live in a Mexican neighborhood, you see that dude every day.
00:18:50.000
There was not one part of me that thought it was gay.
00:18:53.000
A guy gets put in the turnbuckle and he's like sitting.
00:19:09.000
This guy's got his girl sitting on his lap and she's nodding like, yeah, fuck his face.
00:19:41.000
Hey, what do you think about the Saudis buying the WWE, the rumor?
00:19:45.000
The unsubstantiated rumor that the Saudis are buying the WWE? You met Lemaire.
00:19:54.000
Yeah, he was very mad last night in the green room.
00:19:56.000
All him and Tony would do was talk about it last night in the green room.
00:20:01.000
Are they gonna let the wrestlers hit women and shit?
00:20:08.000
They're going to be able to bulldog all of them.
00:20:13.000
Dude, they're going to 3D May off the fucking Jumbo Trout.
00:20:17.000
They're going to bring him in to do that on chicks.
00:20:19.000
There was an old woman in the WWF, and these two dudes, you remember the Dudley Twins?
00:20:25.000
Dude, they tossed an 80-year-old woman off the...
00:20:41.000
This is a long bit, so I'll kind of zoom ahead.
00:21:50.000
Dude, the fact that your brain carried this for...
00:21:56.000
Bro, what kind of damages do to that lady's brain?
00:22:07.000
Damn, I wonder if there's like a nursing home pipeline in the WWE. She's not protected there.
00:22:24.000
He's rubbing his head, he's like, I'm gonna get this pinned on me.
00:22:33.000
So yeah, WWE's not afraid to put hands on women.
00:22:38.000
Now with the Saudis, we might be back to the classics.
00:22:42.000
Putting geezers through tables is fucking crazy.
00:22:58.000
Tony's been trying to get me to go to WrestleMania forever.
00:23:13.000
If the Saudis get it, there's a chance it gets better.
00:23:17.000
Well, they kicked him out because he got busted with a bunch of floozies.
00:23:24.000
Who would have thought all that money went to that?
00:23:27.000
Look, if you look like that and you're seven years old and you're the head of the WWE, you're slinging dick.
00:23:35.000
I'd be more disappointed if he wasn't slinging dick.
00:23:39.000
He's a gigantic barbarian man who's like 79 years old and works out with a chain around his neck.
00:23:52.000
No, I watched him get stunnered at WrestleMania.
00:23:58.000
LaMare was hanging out with me and he was like, it's WrestleMania today.
00:24:02.000
And then he started putting up old highlights to get pumped for the thing.
00:24:11.000
Dude, he's super jacked and he's 150,000 years old.
00:24:25.000
Obviously, I'm not truly criticizing, but when he got stunned...
00:24:34.000
You're giving him a hard time about his physique, Shane?
00:25:06.000
Because back like 10 years ago, he was like yoked, cover of fucking men's health.
00:25:11.000
Back when he was 70. Back when he was 70. And I thought that was going to be the same guy that came out in WrestleMania.
00:25:33.000
Bro, he looks fucking great for 77. 77, you're supposed to be a dead man.
00:26:12.000
When I've had those pro wrestlers in here, like Diamond Dallas Page, his body had been through fucking hell.
00:26:21.000
He's got his own yoga system and he's like helped all these wrestlers that are all fucked up completely rehabilitate their body and get their motion back.
00:26:36.000
He can stand up, grab his foot, and do a split.
00:26:41.000
Grab his foot, standing up right now, no warm-up, and he holds it up like a split.
00:27:01.000
It's all bone-on-bone and shit, but he does that yoga routine every day, and he keeps him healthy and mobile and he's not in pain.
00:27:13.000
When you see him move around, you're like, you're a pro wrestler, and look at you.
00:27:27.000
I guess if you're dedicated every day to yoga, you'd probably help your body.
00:27:31.000
I think those guys, if you're that busted up, you kind of have to do something every day.
00:27:39.000
If you just start eating pain pills, which a lot of them do, that's a dark road.
00:27:45.000
You gotta think about how many times a year those guys were on the road.
00:27:49.000
I talked to Jake the Snake and he was explaining his evolution in the game and how long it took him and all the road gigs and shit.
00:28:02.000
Every day they're smashing into each other and slamming each other.
00:28:07.000
And some of them, they don't like each other, so they want to hit each other hard.
00:28:19.000
No, they're all fucking, especially back then, roided out, lifting every day, drinking every day, fighting every day.
00:28:25.000
They were, for like five straight years, they hated it.
00:28:28.000
Was it Jake the Snake or was it The Undertaker that had the broken eye sockets?
00:28:37.000
He had a special mask he had to wear for a while.
00:28:38.000
He shattered his fucking eye socket in the middle of a mask.
00:28:45.000
His move, instead of fucking your face, he would drop his butt on your face.
00:28:59.000
This dude landed his butt on his face and broke his eye socket.
00:29:05.000
He's got to finish this match with a broken eye socket.
00:29:06.000
Is that why his eyes started going up like this all the time?
00:29:10.000
Well, he actually said he ran into a clothesline.
00:29:21.000
I ran straight into what was supposed to be a clothesline, but he was so gassed and I ended up hitting a spot in his arm.
00:29:26.000
Actually, Jamie, I think he broke his eye socket twice.
00:29:31.000
I think if I remember correctly, he broke both eye sockets.
00:29:36.000
According to this, it says this is what he said on the Joe Rogan Experience.
00:29:45.000
One was because the guy was completely out of shape, a lot of similarities.
00:29:48.000
The other one, I think, was the butt to the face.
00:29:53.000
I think he's saying he broke both because we showed another one that he did where the guy wasn't as big who landed on his face.
00:30:01.000
I have a very limited memory for pro wrestling.
00:30:11.000
By the end of the week, I'll have no knowledge that that happens.
00:30:17.000
Rey Mysterio did hit him and that cost him damage.
00:30:29.000
But Ray Mysterio would be hopping around like that.
00:30:35.000
I think that's the reason why he got him that way, because he landed with his butt on his face.
00:30:53.000
Yeah, he mistimed the move and landed on his face and broke his face.
00:30:58.000
That guy's going to put a jump on your face with his ass.
00:31:06.000
And you have to lay there like you're out cold.
00:31:09.000
And this guy's just bang, bang, bang, and then suck it right in front of you.
00:31:17.000
Kevin would come out and just get smashed every time.
00:31:20.000
That dude has to sit there and get his face fucked.
00:31:23.000
The whole crowd's like, you're a fucking gay pussy.
00:31:28.000
Everyone's like, the guy who fucked you is awesome.
00:31:31.000
They're probably going to sit in a locker room, they're like, nice work, dude.
00:31:44.000
Those bad guys will come out and be like, Delaware, what a bunch of fucking retards are you?
00:31:55.000
They'd have Arab dudes come out and be like, America fucking sucks ass.
00:31:59.000
And these dudes are like, take that the fuck back.
00:32:13.000
They're like black African extremists that would come out and be like, in front of all the white people.
00:32:26.000
The fact that he decided that that was what he was going to do.
00:32:32.000
I think the CIA assassinated three of them actually.
00:32:37.000
Jamie, see if you can find some of the Andy Kaufman.
00:32:50.000
Imagine if it turns out the Rock's working for the FBI the whole time.
00:32:56.000
How do you think they made so many Jumanjis, dude?
00:32:58.000
Yeah, it's fucking intelligence written all over it, dude.
00:33:37.000
I didn't know it would give you a panic attack.
00:33:41.000
I went and saw Jumanji by myself at like 2.30 p.m.
00:33:46.000
And I was in there just like, holy shit, dude, I'm a fucking moron.
00:33:53.000
And then I called Matt and I was like, man, I want to quit comedy, dude, I'm so fucking sad.
00:34:01.000
I've been in a Panera for four hours drinking iced coffees in a booth by myself.
00:34:13.000
You gave me so many fire movie recommends and finally I came out of Jumanji and I was like, Shane's gonna like this.
00:34:46.000
My ex-girlfriend gave me her old laptop, so I had like a Chromebook that was like a $90 Chromebook.
00:34:56.000
I was playing like SimCity 98. I was like, oh, there's a movie theater in the parking lot.
00:35:09.000
Yeah, those days on the road and the early days, they feel weird.
00:35:14.000
And also, if you're working with people you don't like, like you show up in a town and the middle's a douche.
00:35:23.000
I was like, I'll just come with you and I'll host.
00:35:36.000
I was a feature, and I was like, I got a guy I'm bringing.
00:35:43.000
The headliner was a guitar guy, and Shane would go up, I was bombing constantly, and Shane would go up, he was doing well, and the headliner started just like, he was bombing on a guitar, and then he'd start doing callbacks to Shane's bits.
00:35:54.000
And then, he started just incorporating them into, it was the craziest shit.
00:35:58.000
By the last couple shows, he was just stealing the thing.
00:36:01.000
But it was when I was new, so I was like, that's cool.
00:36:04.000
You know, I was new enough to be like, at least, you know, he's saying that was good.
00:36:08.000
But that was, dude, it was me, him, and the headliner in a comedy condo in South Carolina.
00:36:19.000
And there was like a plastic, you know the plastic's supposed to look like crystal?
00:36:23.000
It was like plastic table stuff with lunch meat, and this guy's just crushing baloney, being like, guys, I'm on the road all the time, I can get pussy any time I want.
00:36:32.000
He was like, man, if I was your guys' age, if I was single, you guys, I'd be getting pussy too.
00:36:37.000
I could go out there and get pussy if I wanted, but I'm not gonna...
00:36:40.000
We're like, dude, he's standing eating lunch meat on a tray in a club in South Carolina.
00:36:47.000
Yeah, we're in like a closet in like a Mexican bowling alley.
00:36:49.000
He's like, dude, I could clean up out there, dude.
00:36:52.000
And we're like, dude, pretty sure you're just crying when we came in here.
00:37:02.000
Me and him were young and just bullying a headliner.
00:37:05.000
Just fully like, oh, is that what you said back in the condo?
00:37:10.000
Those weird headliners that no one knows who they are, but they kind of headline, and they go to some places, and they've been doing it way too long.
00:37:18.000
They can achieve this very high level of toxic bitterness.
00:37:24.000
You're around them, and they have a couple beers, and they start looking at you sideways.
00:37:47.000
But in his defense back then, how many podcasts were there?
00:37:54.000
I think people had already figured out that you could make money off of it.
00:38:00.000
He just was saying, like, every comedian does it.
00:38:06.000
I think the market's oversaturated now, but I still think people should do it.
00:38:15.000
If I was a new comic, if you're a new comic starting out now, you should do a podcast, even if no one's going to listen.
00:38:28.000
Trying to get an audience now, it's so much harder than it was Five years ago.
00:38:33.000
I feel like if you're actively trying to get an audience, you just have to just talk.
00:38:38.000
I'll just talk and like, damn, I should have recorded.
00:38:44.000
While I'm driving, I talk to myself all the time.
00:38:47.000
My kid will be in the backseat and I'll be talking to myself and turn around and be like, ha ha ha.
00:38:54.000
That's your thing always, is talking to yourself?
00:39:01.000
Jesus Christ, if I recorded what I was saying in a car.
00:39:09.000
I don't think I'd ever talk to myself in the car.
00:39:20.000
If you had a Tesla, especially if you have a quiet car, you could set up a camera and just do a podcast while you're driving.
00:39:30.000
But it was more like him driving around, like, God, look at this fucking guy.
00:39:45.000
Well, that's the way a lot of guys come up with material.
00:39:50.000
He comes up with so much material because he's podcasting all the time.
00:39:52.000
He's ranting about things, and some of them you can keep.
00:39:59.000
If you fucking sling ten around, you pick up two.
00:40:07.000
You and me workshopped a couple jokes this week.
00:40:25.000
I probably tried it twice and then scrapped it.
00:40:28.000
Me and Matt did a podcast that day and we were talking about if there was a parent sex pride parade.
00:40:49.000
And then I was trying to say, look, I'm happy you guys are doing it, but that's how we feel.
00:40:54.000
We're like, ew, I'm glad you're doing it, but gross, dude.
00:41:11.000
That fucking dude that retired in the military with a dog mask?
00:41:16.000
This guy from the military retired, and he was wearing a fucking leather dog mask in his uniform, like in front of the flag.
00:41:36.000
They were trying to make fun of the U.S. military.
00:41:51.000
Like, that's a truly scary military, that we had a furry with fucking missiles behind them?
00:42:02.000
Dude, there's footage, there's footage that comes out of this war.
00:42:08.000
There's footage that's come out of this war that is different than any footage of any war that I've ever seen because it's on cell phones.
00:42:15.000
There's so much cell phone footage from this war.
00:42:18.000
Dude, and planes are flying low over, like, apartments and shit.
00:42:20.000
Yeah, but I'm talking about, like, one-on-one combat situations with guns.
00:42:27.000
And one I saw yesterday was this guy was in a gunfight in the woods.
00:42:34.000
So he's hiding behind trees and the trees have like chunks of fucking wood missing from them because a bullet just hit it.
00:42:43.000
And he runs to these Ukrainian guys that are in a foxhole and he's got the drop on them and I don't know what he's saying like he's saying surrender give it and the guy reaches up to grab his gun and And he ices the both of them in the head.
00:43:14.000
He's in a drone just like, what are they doing down there?
00:43:22.000
Well, that would be the scariest thing if someone had real drones, like those dog drones with guns on them, and they just sent those after people.
00:43:30.000
Yeah, why don't we just send, like, a bunch of robots?
00:43:32.000
Why don't we just be like, yo, here, use the war robots.
00:43:36.000
I wonder if, some, a friend, I don't know if this is true either, we'll find this out.
00:43:40.000
What was the other thing that we were just trying to find out?
00:43:54.000
What my friend was telling me when he served overseas because of the Geneva Convention.
00:44:12.000
They want to make fun of us who are having trans and furries in our military.
00:44:18.000
Maybe that's just what he does during, like, formal events.
00:44:21.000
In regular times, he's just a straight-up killer.
00:44:23.000
We should bomb other countries and make fun of our trans military members.
00:44:30.000
What was the other thing that I was gonna look up?
00:44:38.000
Jamie, I can't believe you're not finding a dog general, dude.
00:44:42.000
There's a guy with the mask, and what was the other one?
00:44:50.000
The last thing I had up was the Andy Kaufman stuff.
00:45:17.000
It says, celebrate pup pride with the armed forces.
00:45:22.000
Gay officers pretend to be canines for sadomistic sex games.
00:45:28.000
This is the classic website, theamericanconservative.com.
00:45:43.000
And then China and Russia were trying to make fun of us.
00:45:46.000
And it's like, bro, our guys will fuck you guys up.
00:45:49.000
There was another thing I wanted to ask, but I forget.
00:45:54.000
Overseas war, because of the Geneva Convention, you aren't allowed to have hollow-point bullets in your pistol.
00:46:09.000
No, you have to use practice rounds that we use at the range.
00:46:13.000
1899 prohibited use of international warfare bullets that easily expand or flatten the body.
00:46:19.000
It is a common misapprehension that a hollow point ammunition is prohibited by the Geneva Convention as the prohibition significantly predates those conventions.
00:46:32.000
My friend who served was explaining to me the rounds that they made them use over there.
00:46:38.000
They tried to outlaw fucking night vision, dude.
00:46:44.000
They tried to be like, this is unfair, what you guys are doing.
00:46:46.000
Fair and unfair when it comes to killing people?
00:46:50.000
2015 DOD law war manual returns hollow point bullets to armed conflict.
00:46:55.000
Well, I think he was- Imagine passing that bill.
00:47:00.000
It's time for some dude's heads to fucking explode.
00:47:03.000
I don't know if that's true, but that was what he had said.
00:47:06.000
And did they have hollow point bullets in 1889, I guess?
00:47:09.000
Yeah, but doesn't this stuff go out the window when, like, guys start fighting for their survival?
00:47:15.000
But when you're seeing a scene like I saw with the foxhole, and, you know, that this is what these guys are going through today...
00:47:22.000
And it's all done on someone's fucking Samsung Galaxy, so it's like clear video.
00:47:36.000
You guys are shooting each other in the face right now?
00:47:38.000
Yeah, at this point, it's kind of embarrassing.
00:47:43.000
Civilizations, when they evolve with war, you never kind of get them out.
00:47:50.000
We have is if we keep, like, all moving to a new place with a new agreement.
00:47:56.000
Like, the reason why United States is so much different than anywhere else is because the majority of the people just said, look, let's get the fuck out of here and start a new place.
00:48:04.000
And then everybody was like, hey, where'd you guys go?
00:48:06.000
And then that place, come new place, became the shit.
00:48:15.000
Like, we don't have the same, like, physical wars on our borders because we're luckily surrounded by water.
00:48:20.000
But we're still engaging in it all over the place and ramped up.
00:48:24.000
It's like we're involved in so many different conflicts all over the world.
00:48:27.000
It's almost like the only way you're ever going to stop that is if people keep moving.
00:48:30.000
It's like, all right, this one didn't work either.
00:48:35.000
And take over that one and then do that for a few hundred years and fuck that up.
00:48:49.000
We know how many people are innocent that are on death row.
00:49:04.000
Imagine being falsely accused the whole time and you're like, no.
00:49:07.000
Dude, I've had multiple men like that on my podcast because of the stuff that I do with Josh Dubin, who used to be an ambassador for the Innocence Project.
00:49:23.000
There's a guy with a little girl, and it was DNA reversed it.
00:49:28.000
They're like, we saw you with her the last time.
00:49:32.000
And then they found he couldn't afford DNA testing or something.
00:49:35.000
Well, there's one guy who was an immigrant who walked into a trailer after this woman had murdered someone, and his footprints got everywhere, and they blamed him, and he was in jail for 20 years.
00:49:49.000
Like, imagine you check in on people, and you open the door, and someone's been knifed to death.
00:49:55.000
And you're like, holy shit, and you're just realizing, you're trying to turn the lights on, like, what the fuck's going on?
00:50:04.000
And then the woman blames it on him, and it's just crazy.
00:50:12.000
And the thing is, like, there's an incentive for a prosecutor, once they're starting to try a case, they want to win that fucking case.
00:50:22.000
And when it's like a government prosecutor or a district attorney and they know there's some information that would exonerate that person, they're just like...
00:50:32.000
That seems like a problem, making it competitive for lawyers.
00:50:38.000
There are DAs that are like, I arrested the most people.
00:50:43.000
Then they run for office, and it's like, remember that?
00:50:44.000
I was tough on crime, and then all of a sudden, ten years later, being tough on crime is racist.
00:51:00.000
That's crazy he's getting jammed up on, like, manila folders when he was, like, kissing 12-year-old girls on camera.
00:51:06.000
I don't know jack shit about politics, but if I had to guess, they're trying to get rid of him.
00:51:14.000
My guess would be they're trying to get rid of him.
00:51:16.000
If all of a sudden, his own aides are sending these, instead of taking these classified documents, which you have located, and go, well, let's not do that again, and fucking locking them up somewhere.
00:51:35.000
Well, no one self-reported that fucking laptop.
00:51:42.000
They got a hold of the social media companies and lied to them.
00:51:46.000
They did whatever the fuck they could to keep that from happening.
00:51:49.000
And even this, they discovered this before the midterms.
00:51:54.000
So they didn't release the information until after the midterms.
00:51:57.000
I mean, dude, I mean, everyone said this a million times, but like the news, if that was flip-flop, if it was, you know, Trump's kid, that would have been all over.
00:52:05.000
It would have been like, this is the fate of our democracy, rest in the sun, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:52:10.000
And the media would have gone right along with it.
00:52:11.000
Yeah, and it's like so obvious, and it sounds trite, but it's like, dude, why do they...
00:52:16.000
What's the incentive to be like, nah, fuck that guy, not that guy?
00:52:21.000
Dude, there's a bunch of us that are just unrepresented.
00:52:32.000
You've got people that are all in on the Republican Party, and you should never get an abortion, even if you've been raped.
00:52:38.000
You got wild shit on that side, and on the other side, you got men can get pregnant, you got all this chaos, you got FTX cells.
00:52:57.000
Yeah, why would they let that guy off the hook?
00:53:09.000
I think it was the Republicans hanging on to that Santos dude.
00:53:13.000
The Republicans are like, no, he's a good dude.
00:53:34.000
The first article that came up was like, he lied about being a volleyball star.
00:53:44.000
Where he lied about his education and they fact-checked him on the news?
00:53:49.000
Oh my god, he just flat-out lied about his credentials.
00:53:56.000
He was running a while ago and he got fucked up on- Well, he ran for president in 88. He, like, plagiarized the speech, he did that.
00:54:01.000
Dude, we used to do Joe Biden night at Stitch's Comedy Club in Boston where we'd all do each other's acts.
00:54:07.000
That time, Joe Biden lied about his academic credentials.
00:54:10.000
So watch this video, because it's fucking crazy.
00:54:18.000
Truthfully, a guy who finishes 76 would get it wrong.
00:54:27.000
And the other question is, could you quickly...
00:54:30.000
I think I probably have a much higher IQ than you do, I suspect.
00:54:34.000
I went to law school on a full academic scholarship, the only one in my class to have a full academic scholarship.
00:54:41.000
In the first year in law school, I decided I didn't want to be in law school and ended up in the bottom two-thirds of my class, and then decided I wanted to stay, went back to law school, and in fact ended up in the top half of my class.
00:54:53.000
I won the international moot court competition.
00:54:55.000
I was the outstanding student in the political science department at the end of my year.
00:54:59.000
I graduated with three degrees from undergraduate school and 165 credits, only need 123 credits, and I'd be delighted to sit down and compare my IQ to yours if you'd like, Frank.
00:55:08.000
Can you rewind that and look at the guy who wants to fuck him so bad?
00:55:19.000
I'm just saying that with the people that we have elected to office in recent years, I think that we have to question their credentials very Well I think you're right.
00:55:31.000
It seems to me if you can speak, you're at a liability in the Democratic Party anymore.
00:55:35.000
It seems to me you've all become heartless technocrats.
00:55:38.000
It seems to me that you forget that what happens is we've never as a party...
00:55:45.000
Now go to the article where it says what his actual stats were.
00:55:53.000
There's one that they played that clip on the news and then fact-checked it.
00:55:56.000
It'd be a nice edit like cutting that to like now him just fucking bumbling around on stage talking nonsense.
00:56:02.000
He's actually 70th in a class of 85. So he wasn't in the top half.
00:56:07.000
But there was a bunch of other stuff that he lied about in that clip, too.
00:56:10.000
In the news clip where they check it, this, like, hardcore news guy goes, actually, the true story is, and he just lays it all out.
00:56:23.000
The new questions stem from taped remarks of Biden during an April campaign appearance in New Hampshire.
00:56:29.000
I went to law school on a full academic scholarship.
00:56:33.000
Yeah, scoot ahead a little to the where you can't.
00:56:38.000
In my class, I'd have a full academic scholarship.
00:56:41.000
Went back to law school and in fact ended up in the top half of my class.
00:56:45.000
I was the outstanding student in the political science department at the end of my year.
00:56:49.000
I graduated with three degrees from undergraduate school and 165 credits, only 123 credits.
00:56:55.000
Biden now concedes he did not graduate in the top half of his law school class, that he does not have three degrees from college, and that he was not named outstanding political science student in college.
00:57:05.000
Newsweek says Biden actually went to school on a half scholarship, ended up near the bottom of his class.
00:57:12.000
Joe Biden ranked 76th in the class of 85 at the University of Syracuse Law School.
00:57:18.000
I mean, this guy comes off this whole thing as a flyweight.
00:57:21.000
Now Biden says, and this week is right, his memory had failed him.
00:57:31.000
That would be so scary if you could rattle off facts that you think are facts.
00:57:46.000
Just has a prepared speech for, if Bob asks this, I say that, he has to write it all out.
00:57:50.000
Yeah, I'm gonna ram it down his fucking throat.
00:57:53.000
He's like, actually, I got the highest IQ on Earth, motherfucker.
00:57:56.000
That does hurt when the dorks come after you, though.
00:58:00.000
Well, especially those are the mainstream dorks.
00:58:10.000
I exaggerate when I'm angry, but I've never gone around telling people things that aren't true about me.
00:58:26.000
You know, saying you're in the top half of your class is also a lie.
00:58:31.000
If you say, I fucking killed it in college, but then they found out you were in the bottom half of the class, well, that's an exaggeration.
00:58:38.000
He can be like, I was in a lot of clubs, I played, you know, intramural sports.
00:58:45.000
And he called black people super predators, and, uh...
00:58:56.000
I think they get these terms that they'd like to throw around, and then they start using them with each other, and it's like sort of a signal that we're all on the same page.
00:59:05.000
Whatever term they're using to try to push things across.
00:59:07.000
Hillary Clinton, not Joe Biden, use the term super predator.
00:59:14.000
This makes up for the lack of dog general info.
00:59:52.000
I thought it was a cool idea until people started getting money during the pandemic and they didn't want to go back to work.
00:59:59.000
Then you try to go to Starbucks at a rest stop.
01:00:00.000
Yeah, you'd have a collapse of the service industry.
01:00:05.000
But you would also have a resurgence of people doing what they actually want to do.
01:00:09.000
It wouldn't be everybody, but it would give a good chunk of people an opportunity to try something that they've always wanted to do where they don't have to worry about subsistence, right?
01:00:27.000
I mean, but human nature, the problem with human nature, like, people, if you give them stuff and make them so they don't have to do anything, they don't do things.
01:00:40.000
It's almost like you need to educate people as, like, what gives you meaning in life.
01:00:50.000
It's so comfortable to just sit on the couch and play video games and do nothing, but you're gonna get depressed.
01:01:00.000
I think everybody needs a different task, and everybody has a different level of need, but you need tasks.
01:01:10.000
Dude, if I played games, man, I'd have a fucking problem.
01:01:16.000
I get psychotically obsessed, and I'll play eight, ten hours a day, and I'll fuck up my life, and I'll look pale like a vampire.
01:01:30.000
I installed a T1 line in my house back when I couldn't get good internet because I was living in the mountains.
01:01:39.000
And they go, well, if you had a business, we could run a T1 line.
01:01:45.000
They had to fucking dig up the street and lay pipes and shit.
01:02:02.000
I plugged in the Xbox 360 this week and started playing NCAA 14. Took eight hours.
01:02:08.000
There was my friend, my friend Rob was a manager at the Comedy Store, real nice guy, and one day he said, you know, He played EverQuest all day.
01:02:17.000
And he goes, I'm so good at making money in EverQuest and so bad at it in the real world.
01:02:29.000
Because for him, that's a big deal to shut the computer off and leave the house.
01:02:34.000
So he's hanging out with us at the store in the back bar.
01:02:52.000
I was like, why am I just sitting around answering emails that I have to answer?
01:03:19.000
We lived together and I was like, I'm going to get good and beat Shane.
01:03:24.000
I was just fucking like, I'm going to kick his fucking ass.
01:03:49.000
And this little lady does this little fast move.
01:03:51.000
She like spins around and kicks you in the head.
01:03:59.000
She was so happy and I was so upset with myself.
01:04:12.000
And you can, like, use some martial arts strategy in that game.
01:04:20.000
I'm the only one that can do ground and pound in the UFC. I'm the only one that can do jujitsu in UFC in our video games.
01:04:29.000
Do you learn, like, pressing certain buttons at the same time?
01:04:34.000
Bro, doing the voiceover for that was one of the most brutal jobs I've ever had.
01:04:40.000
Because you have, like, these lists of all these things that can possibly happen, and all these fighters' names, and all these different scenarios.
01:04:58.000
And, you know, you're constantly drinking water because I'm screaming.
01:05:01.000
So I can only do it because, you know, it's like, oh!
01:05:11.000
I genuinely was like, damn, dude, I need the fucking, ah!
01:05:19.000
I was in the one before it, but they used my old stuff.
01:05:26.000
Yeah, can't you just re-license the sounds, but just take the other ones.
01:05:32.000
So that means new sessions and this fucking thing, reading off the paper.
01:05:43.000
If you're just trying to say things right, it'll kind of spin you out.
01:05:49.000
Because the way you're talking during a UFC fight, like if you're doing it, it's like you're pushing your vocal cords.
01:06:11.000
Well, until I noticed your fucking steering wheel halfway through the ride.
01:06:52.000
The problem with that is the panel dies, then you're fucked.
01:06:55.000
You can't roll your windows down, but there's certain things you can't do.
01:07:01.000
Do you just turn off if it has an electrical shortage and you're flying?
01:07:08.000
I had a problem with a windshield wiper motor once, but it was just a defective windshield wiper motor.
01:07:15.000
They just fucking do what they're supposed to do.
01:07:19.000
A lot of these people that got them in these freezing temperatures in fucking Toronto and shit...
01:07:31.000
But for like regular driving, they make regular cars look stupid.
01:07:55.000
Like a Shelby GT500. Matt got a CRV. CRVs are fucking sick.
01:08:24.000
Oh, look, it does have a Mustang rear quarter panel.
01:08:33.000
If guy pulls up to your house, Shane, I want to make you money.
01:08:36.000
Is that the GT? You've got the Great Gatsby Mustang.
01:08:38.000
Yeah, but the Great Gatsby was a dope car back then.
01:08:54.000
But the regular Mustang looks way better, you fucking dummy.
01:09:16.000
We've had this conversation every time I'm on here.
01:10:15.000
I sold cars and then I worked in a garage in Philly and I couldn't drive stick.
01:10:22.000
And all the time they'd be like, you gotta bring this car out back.
01:10:24.000
I'd just sit there and be like, I'm gonna get found out.
01:10:32.000
I'd have to find someone and be like, yo, can you please drive this?
01:10:36.000
So many times where I've been in a car in front of everyone just...
01:10:41.000
You know La Cienega, where La Cienega connects to Sunset?
01:10:53.000
I would take that in my Porsche, and it was a manual, and I'd always get stuck at the top.
01:11:04.000
So I had to learn how to hit the emergency brake and slowly let out the clutch while I let the emergency brake up.
01:11:20.000
That's why if you have a stick, you need a fucking real handbrake.
01:11:24.000
You can't have these bullshit fucking electronic brakes.
01:11:32.000
At least some cars like this, like Fords, are making these cars that we just...
01:11:51.000
I had 2% of me, he's like, I might die right now.
01:11:56.000
For a second, I closed my eyes, and then I realized how fucking insane that was.
01:12:01.000
No, it was genuinely impressive to move that fast.
01:12:31.000
And then he's going to have that little one that's even faster than that.
01:13:08.000
This is just literally so you can bother people?
01:13:42.000
The only good thing about the rumble is it's good for people walking on the streets and shit.
01:14:01.000
You can't have that thing on a They Will Not Replace Us rally.
01:14:13.000
Well, you know what the problem with that sound thing is?
01:14:16.000
It seems like you could hack that and have it play whatever you want.
01:14:30.000
That's what people are going to do with that thing.
01:14:39.000
And I think they had to cancel that because people were fucking up.
01:14:43.000
Do you remember that movie, was it Scanner Darkly?
01:14:47.000
No, what was the movie with Alex Jones where they animated him?
01:14:51.000
Like back before Alex Jones was persona non grata, he was in this like mainstream animated movie.
01:15:03.000
Play the clip of him from Waking Life because it's him driving around in a car with a speaker on the roof.
01:15:15.000
This is all the equivalent of enemy propaganda rolling across the picket line.
01:15:20.000
Lay down, G.I., lay down, G.I. We saw it all through the 20th century.
01:15:24.000
And now in the 21st century, it's time to stand up and realize that we should not allow ourselves to be crammed into this rat maze.
01:15:33.000
I don't know about you, but I'm concerned with what's happening in this world.
01:15:41.000
Those that control my life and those that seek to control it even more!
01:16:19.000
But didn't he take it back before they got him?
01:16:23.000
You know, those people sued him and won $965 million.
01:16:28.000
And in Connecticut, they won a large settlement in Texas, but in Texas it's capped.
01:16:35.000
So I think it's capped at like $700 and something thousand dollars.
01:16:39.000
So even though it might have been like $40 million, really he has to pay $750,000 per once.
01:17:06.000
The number only exists if you're trying to just put someone out of business.
01:17:13.000
Yeah, he's not going to be able to make a fucking billion, dude.
01:17:32.000
This could go on forever and just bleed him financially.
01:17:36.000
He should go out to the seas and broadcast from the seas.
01:18:02.000
You'd be chasing them like, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:18:21.000
Can you imagine if I opened up a podcast studio where Epstein's Island used to be?
01:18:28.000
They fly them in somewhere else, and then they have to yacht it out there?
01:18:32.000
The Big St. James has an airstrip on it, and then they take a boat over.
01:18:47.000
But the dude is kind of like an Elon Musk character, and he owns an island just like this.
01:18:53.000
You fly into St. Thomas and take a private helicopter.
01:18:57.000
Do you know how many recording pieces of equipment?
01:19:09.000
I mean, I'd imagine you wanted to demolish everything anyway.
01:19:12.000
So you have to land on that one little island that's a landing strip.
01:19:19.000
I thought this one did, but it said you land in St. Thomas, so that might be a little bit back here.
01:19:39.000
I thought they were saying that this is the place where you can land.
01:19:40.000
I'm like, where the fuck are you going to land on this little rock?
01:19:44.000
You should put your podcast studio in the temple, dude.
01:19:48.000
If it's valuable, somebody might want it as is.
01:19:51.000
There's a lot of nutty fucking people in the world.
01:19:54.000
If you're some Saudi billionaire and you're drinking whiskey, and you're like, you know what I'm going to do?
01:20:04.000
Just like they bought the WWE. I'm going to buy that fucking island.
01:20:49.000
And the vegan diet is like, you know, you got to do that.
01:20:54.000
If you want to do that and be healthy, you have to really dot your I's and cross your T's and make sure you get all your macronutrients and shit, and you got to take supplements.
01:21:08.000
So I started getting, like, restless leg for my whole body.
01:21:14.000
Then, like, the last night- No, no, I'm saying before that.
01:21:17.000
I was like, I got out of the keto flu, and all of a sudden...
01:21:19.000
I was like, maybe there's something to wrestle slug.
01:21:35.000
Take this stuff called liquid IV. It's the shit.
01:21:44.000
Like, so many people are deficient in certain nutrients.
01:21:52.000
Like, you really should be drinking water all the fucking time.
01:21:59.000
First of all, you don't need really to eat them.
01:22:05.000
I'm like, oh, I didn't know I didn't need that my whole life.
01:22:11.000
I have a buddy that's been on keto now for like six months.
01:22:21.000
And he's like, dude, I'm eating like this for the rest of my life.
01:22:23.000
He goes, it was all just sugar and bullshit and carbs.
01:22:26.000
And he was having all sorts of health problems.
01:22:40.000
He was like, at one point in time, he's like 250, probably even higher.
01:22:53.000
I don't think there's a one-size-fits-all diet.
01:22:55.000
I know a lot of people that just go vegan and they're fine.
01:22:58.000
And I know a lot of people that try it and their body gets fucked up.
01:23:12.000
There's a lot of thinking about all the shit he did.
01:23:15.000
Imagine the internet coming out towards the end and that comes out and they're like, oh, fuck.
01:23:19.000
Well, not just that, but having to live with being the president and all the shit that you gave the fucking thumbs up to and all the people that died and all the countries that got invaded and all the fucking Black ops that we don't know about and all the people that got assassinated and all the people that,
01:23:38.000
How many people died from drone strikes that were innocent?
01:23:44.000
Of civilians, of innocent people that died in these targeted surgical drone strikes.
01:23:53.000
Surgical for a missile with a bomb on the other side.
01:24:00.000
Silent dinner, silent like pot roast with Hillary Clinton, dude.
01:24:04.000
Your bill is a silent fucking, like you fucked up some thing on the news and she's not talking to you.
01:24:14.000
You think they don't even like, you think they're just like totally different wings of the house or something?
01:24:24.000
In terms of who would have been a better president representing the country, her or Biden, her by a long shot.
01:24:30.000
Even if you don't agree with her politics or you think she's a criminal, that lady's a stateswoman.
01:24:41.000
Yeah, but I like the fucking like, hey, fuck you, I'll get the highest IQ on earth.
01:24:48.000
Remember when you got confronted by that guy at the factory?
01:25:02.000
Biden gets hit with young dudes coming up being like, you're taking our guns.
01:25:51.000
There's a way better video of it, though, right?
01:25:57.000
As if he doesn't have, like, armed murderers hanging around his house 24-7.
01:26:04.000
I'll take my 12-gauge and shoot it out in the sky and he'll run for comfort.
01:26:12.000
He sounded like he was actually handling business there.
01:26:14.000
He hit a fucking lady with shush and he was like, you're full of shit.
01:26:21.000
I think there's a lot of functional people that are on Adderall.
01:26:35.000
But he's like, if I don't have it, I just feel like I don't have my edge.
01:26:40.000
Doesn't it like, I heard it shrinks your, like while you're high on it, shrinks your burn.
01:26:53.000
I take Adderall sometimes just to get fucked up.
01:27:03.000
I'll take Adderall and drink until my body shuts down.
01:27:07.000
But because of the Adderall, you're still there.
01:27:18.000
Then we tried to leave the stadium, and I was like...
01:27:26.000
Yeah, it's like in Call of Duty when your character dies, but you get the camera to float around the whole thing.
01:27:45.000
Whoever I'm with, there's always somebody around that is prescribed.
01:27:49.000
Yeah, it's 10 to 20. I would say it's like 10 to 20. Always.
01:27:54.000
10 to 20. Sometimes you run into people that are like 30, fucking 40 milligrams.
01:28:01.000
I think Pornoy said it takes a 30. I didn't bring it up.
01:28:06.000
They have little balls and you can crack down on them and just get it all at once.
01:28:13.000
I tried- I tried- I tried- I tried drinking on it twice.
01:28:27.000
I got all zoomed out and I was like at the kind of a- not like a super high level of a concert.
01:28:31.000
And I was like, I'm gonna jump down to the next level.
01:28:34.000
And I tried to jump down, and I got kicked out immediately.
01:28:39.000
I was like, if I could time it perfectly where all the guards' backs are turned, I'll jump down to the pit, climb up, and jump into the other area.
01:28:50.000
I was like, I'll jump into the crowd, I'll blend.
01:28:53.000
And the crowd just parted as I jumped into them.
01:29:03.000
I kicked my other shoe off so I didn't look suspicious.
01:29:06.000
And they thought my friend was me and they started kicking him out.
01:29:28.000
And I climbed up under the bleachers, and I just emerged into some seating.
01:29:37.000
It was like intergalactic planetary, and it just came up.
01:29:47.000
You're going to appreciate this, sneaking at a stadium.
01:29:58.000
And I'm standing there, and there's just a tiny fence between me and the handicap section.
01:30:20.000
Stepped in, and dude, people were looking at me like, checks out.
01:30:48.000
I'm just picturing you shit-faced at some guy doing a handicap check.
01:31:00.000
He likes comedy and he likes podcasts and all this stuff.
01:31:10.000
End of the game, he's come down here towards the field.
01:31:14.000
He took his jersey off, autographed it, and handed it to me up in the stands.
01:31:20.000
Me and little kids are the only dudes down there trying to get high fives from the players.
01:31:25.000
This guy hands me his jersey, and people are like, oh, that's a guy.
01:31:32.000
It was a sweet moment for them to be giving me a jersey, and I was like...
01:31:40.000
I think they thought I was a special needs man.
01:31:43.000
It was me and children in the bleachers like, high five, can I get your gloves?
01:31:49.000
And then a guy gave me his jersey and they were like, nice, congratulations.
01:31:55.000
They're like, folks, look at Gabe Davis giving back to the community.
01:31:59.000
The worst thing that can ever happen to someone is a baseball game where a pitch gets hit, a ball gets hit, it goes foul, and some guy snatches it in front of a kid's face while the kid's trying to catch it.
01:32:13.000
And then celebrates, like reaches in front of the kid, and then everybody looks at him like...
01:32:22.000
I keep going to baseball games and I love them, but the whole time I'm like, dude, if there's a foul ball, I'm getting the fuck out of the way.
01:32:30.000
I'm so, like, dude, dropping a foul ball, you know how embarrassing that is?
01:32:39.000
I've seen dudes catch line drives with one hand.
01:32:45.000
I've also seen people try to save their friends.
01:32:48.000
I've seen people dive in front of the ball to save their friend when it's coming out of a friend's head.
01:33:01.000
There was no nets down the third and first baseline, dude.
01:33:05.000
There's a fucking hilarious image of this dude in the crowd getting hit with a bat.
01:33:13.000
I saw another one like that where a dude caught a bat.
01:33:16.000
The bat went flying, the dude fucking snatches the bat out of the air.
01:33:21.000
Because if you're in a baseball game, 90% of the time you're not paying attention.
01:33:25.000
I'm one of those freeze and kind of watch something bad happen.
01:33:55.000
If we were a tribe, if it was a tribe, that audience, that's our leader.
01:34:01.000
Can you find that still image of that dude getting his fucking face smashed?
01:34:05.000
Do you know how good that guy must have felt though?
01:34:07.000
To hold that fucking bat up, standing up like this, and the whole audience is like, yeah!
01:34:15.000
The closest thing we can get to adrenaline is a good set.
01:35:01.000
Find that lady getting racked in the face with a basketball.
01:35:31.000
He's a little old to get hit in the head like that too.
01:35:41.000
That's like Anderson Silva hitting him with a left hook.
01:36:02.000
Look at that lady just looking with morbid curiosity.
01:36:15.000
The photographer getting all that caught still without all the movement.
01:36:19.000
Every single one of those photographers went, dude, I got that.
01:36:32.000
Look at the size of the John Cena arms on that motherfucker.
01:37:12.000
I think moms have a thing innately where they can't, like, they genuinely can't get out of the way.
01:37:16.000
Like, they'll just stick their head in the way.
01:37:30.000
How much strength do you think you have that way?
01:37:33.000
Like, how much resistance do you have that way?
01:37:43.000
It's just a natural thing to do with the kids when they're hitting the brakes.
01:37:46.000
But it's just like you have zero power that way.
01:37:52.000
How much can you stop going in that direction with your arm outstretched like that and you weigh 130 pounds?
01:37:59.000
I mean, this is going to be a very dark statement, but I don't know.
01:38:04.000
That means every single time a mom's in a car accident with her kid.
01:38:10.000
And the last thing she felt was, he's going out.
01:38:13.000
Oh, when I was a kid, we didn't wear seatbelts.
01:38:18.000
My parents would be like, you guys clicked in and we'd all go click with our, like, make the noise with our mouths.
01:38:23.000
My dad and my uncle would, they cut their, when they started beeping, they just cut their seatbelts off and plugged them in.
01:38:34.000
Whoever did seatbelts had fucking PR. It used to be if you wore a seatbelt, you were a pussy.
01:38:38.000
Yeah, like if you were a cool guy in a muscle car movie, you didn't have a seatbelt.
01:38:46.000
Dudes would be driving in cars and they're not wearing seatbelts.
01:38:50.000
Fast and the Furious might have been seatbelt propaganda.
01:38:53.000
Might have been the CCP. It could have been the CCP. They manufacture all the seatbelts.
01:39:08.000
Jamie, will you find that old woman getting hit in the face with a basketball?
01:39:12.000
No, I want to see this lady get hit in the face.
01:39:14.000
It's a very funny video, and then we can find a new topic.
01:39:16.000
There's nothing like rodeo guys getting stomped.
01:39:24.000
You want to watch someone get hit by something?
01:39:30.000
Rodeo guys, you're at least like, this is a sport, all this.
01:39:34.000
It's a sport where there's only one person who knows they're participating.
01:39:39.000
So it'll happen once and then I get zoomed in just so you can see it.
01:40:33.000
She's supposed to stand up with her arms over here like...
01:41:10.000
Have you seen an old person that's paying attention to their phone and they get hit by something?
01:41:30.000
Political arguments, you're like, what happened to everybody I knew ever?
01:41:33.000
And then all of a sudden it's like, holy shit, this is what they're up to?
01:41:38.000
Do you ever catch an ex talking to your Facebook?
01:41:44.000
I had one, I deleted it, and then I got a new one because I wanted to see a group, but I never go on anymore.
01:41:49.000
It's important for open micers because that's the only way you can fight all the other comics in the local scenes Facebook page.
01:41:58.000
Well, dude, when you go off of Facebook for years and go back on, it's kind of eerie because then you see people writing the same kind of stuff like two years later and you go, whoa.
01:42:17.000
You get to go back in their pictures and watch the trend.
01:42:21.000
You go back to 2014, like, let's go to the president.
01:42:26.000
You were sad for a few years, and I can see it.
01:42:29.000
Well, during COVID, how many people just developed heavy drinking problems?
01:42:32.000
Yeah, that must have been kind of fun to watch during COVID. People's unhinged Facebook.
01:42:38.000
Yeah, I had friends that just were drinking wine every night.
01:42:53.000
That was so fucked up we got trapped in our houses.
01:43:02.000
Again, I got NCAA 14. I was playing Xbox in my parents' basement.
01:43:27.000
But outside of missing the days in the basement, dude, this was two years ago.
01:43:35.000
Isn't it crazy that two years ago that happened?
01:43:41.000
Yeah, dude, I just had my first kid and I had to make the call and just be like, nah, fuck this stuff, dude.
01:43:47.000
And my wife's like, if you fucking get this wrong, I'm like, nah, dude, don't worry.
01:43:51.000
Just being like, I checked out the death rates and I'm like, bro, the odds are pretty good it'll be fine.
01:43:56.000
And she was like, well, and as soon as I looked up the age, I was like, oh, dude, don't worry about this.
01:44:01.000
But I was like, dude, she was like, you can't go out.
01:44:03.000
She was in primal fear mode, and I had to be like, trust me, dude.
01:44:07.000
I can go out and go cop these mushroom chocolates.
01:44:09.000
It's very lucky that it's not scary at all for kids.
01:44:24.000
Once they figured out it fucked the older people up big time, if I'm 80 years old, I'd like to think I would be like, yeah, I'll take it, but I wouldn't tell my grandkids if they didn't know what it was.
01:44:39.000
Well, they thought in the beginning that it was going to stop transmission, stop people from getting infected, and that it was safe and effective.
01:44:45.000
So it made sense that everybody's like, you got it yet.
01:44:55.000
Do you ever see the CEO of Pfizer talk about it now?
01:45:05.000
He goes, one to two shots gives you very little protection, if any at all.
01:45:14.000
And the third shot gives you reasonable protection from hospitalization and death.
01:45:23.000
I don't know when this was, but to hear him say it that way, I was like, I have never heard you say it this way before.
01:45:29.000
I've never heard anybody say it this way before.
01:45:32.000
Yeah, again, it's already like, yeah, make heads or tails of it, but I don't know.
01:45:35.000
When it came out, I was like, wait, I'm also scared of needles.
01:45:44.000
The third dose, quite good protection against deaths and decent protection against hospitalizations.
01:45:55.000
Yeah, it'd be like, ah, you'll be kind of stoked on it.
01:46:01.000
It's hard to know what's true, but isn't it like a lot of the stuff...
01:46:05.000
Are independent people allowed to replicate the studies Pfizer does, or are they not allowed to?
01:46:13.000
They give you – like when they do peer-reviewed studies on – peer-reviewed reviews of data that the vaccine companies provide them, they don't get access to the raw data.
01:46:26.000
They get access to the data that the scientific people that work for the pharmaceutical companies release.
01:46:35.000
The vaccine companies are allowed, or pharmaceutical companies rather, with any sort of thing they do, they're allowed to...
01:46:45.000
The version that will be effective against Omicron as well is not that it will not be effective against the other variants, but against Omicron as well.
01:46:53.000
And the hope is that we will achieve something that will have way, way better...
01:47:00.000
Protection, particularly against infections, because the protection against the hospitalizations and severe diseases, it is reasonable right now with the current vaccines, as long as you are having, let's say, the third dose.
01:47:23.000
But now they're finding out that the new one, this bivalent vaccine, the new data shows that it's no more effective than the other vaccine.
01:47:32.000
Well, did you ever get into the antidepressant stuff, how that, like the serotonin hypothesis, that you're allowed to do as many studies as you want, and if you get the one that kind of like is statistically significant, then you can be like, alright, that's our one, run it.
01:47:44.000
And it's like, you could have like 800 dogs and have one good one and be like, we got the numbers, go ahead.
01:47:49.000
It's fucked up, and it's never been, as far as I know, the whole hypothesis hasn't been, like, proven to, like, uh, even if you use, like, clinical significance, like, does it actually work in theory?
01:48:00.000
Like, because when they, like, when they're doing, like, p-values and shit, you can fuck around with math.
01:48:03.000
And just get, like, oh, it's.05, and it's like, oh, cool.
01:48:10.000
They bailed on the concept that it's a chemical imbalance.
01:48:15.000
They said there's no evidence that it's a chemical imbalance.
01:48:19.000
Well, that was the thing that they'd always said about the reason why SSRIs work.
01:48:28.000
Find the paper that shows that there's no real evidence that there's a chemical imbalance.
01:48:35.000
When did they start putting kids on this stuff?
01:48:54.000
I don't want to say lie about the SSRI thing, but it was like, dude, they didn't give the full picture on those.
01:49:00.000
Depression is not caused by chemical imbalance in the brain.
01:49:06.000
There is no convincing evidence that depression is caused by serotonin abnormalities.
01:49:10.000
Many people take antidepressants believing their depression as a biochemical cause.
01:49:18.000
The notion that antidepressants work by elevating serotonin levels is not supported by the evidence.
01:49:24.000
Dude, the side effects of these things are fucked up.
01:49:35.000
Major depression is one of the most common psychological disorders affecting more than 23 million adults and adolescents each year.
01:49:43.000
It carries economic costs in the hundreds of billions and is a major risk factor for suicide.
01:49:48.000
The causes of depression have not been debated, yet a common explanation holds the culprit is chemical imbalance in the brain.
01:49:55.000
This notion emerged not coincidentally in the late 80s with the introduction of Prozac.
01:50:02.000
A drug that appeared to help in treating depression by increasing the levels of the brain transmitter serotonin.
01:50:11.000
And so they said, oh, you must have a chemical imbalance.
01:50:29.000
How many people do you know that are on Prozac?
01:50:47.000
I think at first it's nice, and then it dulls you.
01:50:50.000
From what I've heard, you just stop feeling stuff about anything.
01:50:52.000
And then you need to keep upping the dose and upping the dose, and it increases your weight gain.
01:50:56.000
Because then you've got to keep making all the serotonin.
01:51:01.000
You need carbs to make it so people gain weight because they start fucking gorging themselves on snacks.
01:51:07.000
And then you get all the sexual dysfunction, ED. What about 5-HTP? There's serotonin precursors that you could take.
01:51:15.000
If they cause erectile dysfunction, how are you going to be happy without a boner?
01:51:21.000
How are you going to be happy without a boner, Pfizer?
01:51:23.000
For real, every time I've done coke, I've been pretty happy, and a boner was nowhere in its sight.
01:51:33.000
You forget you took Adderall, because you're hammered.
01:51:38.000
And chances are I'm at a football game or a stadium, so there's guys next to me.
01:52:03.000
Prozac and Adderall could result in serotonin syndrome, a potentially serious condition.
01:52:07.000
Unless closely monitored by a doctor, you should not take Adderall and Prozac together.
01:52:16.000
I'm pretty sure anxiety and depression are baked into the human experience.
01:52:24.000
I used to have wicked panic attacks when I was 23, and I was also a gigantic piece of shit.
01:52:29.000
And it was the thing that, like, made me start thinking about my life.
01:52:33.000
I was just like, and if I had just gotten medication, I just would have kept being a giant piece of shit.
01:52:39.000
So I'm always like, sometimes you gotta go through, you know what I mean?
01:52:47.000
I just fucking had to come to grips with the fact that I was going to die eventually.
01:53:03.000
I had, like, you know, I wasn't like I was, like, my back to the wall.
01:53:05.000
I was just, like, I just, like, got a couple jobs and, like, I don't like this.
01:53:17.000
I didn't even know what pills did, so my friends would talk me into going and finding pills for them.
01:53:33.000
No, it was, I had, like, I didn't know what pills did, and I remember watching a whole, not even a whole, but, like, it was an apartment complex, and there was these two buildings full of, like, all these kids that were living there.
01:53:43.000
It was a long story, but, like, I somehow got my hands on, like, Watson Pharmaceutical, like, jugs of fucking, it was, they were Vicodins.
01:53:51.000
I love that I somehow got my hands on jugs of Vicodin.
01:54:01.000
I've never opened up a cabinet and, look at these jugs.
01:54:06.000
Dude, you know when you're at the pharmacy and you look behind the counter and it's those big boys?
01:54:49.000
I was laying in bed just going, what the fuck am I doing in my fucking life?
01:54:54.000
And it forced me to be like, yeah, it's probably a pretty bad idea.
01:55:00.000
It made me develop like a sense of like, yeah, this is fucking other people up and I like saw people getting fucked up and I'm like, I'm gonna stop doing this.
01:55:11.000
After the first time, you're like, this is never gonna happen again.
01:55:15.000
The plug robbed me at gunpoint and he was like, I won't do it again.
01:55:28.000
I would give him money and he would go get them.
01:55:30.000
And then one time he came back without them and I was like, dude, just have them.
01:55:37.000
And he was like, how do I know you didn't set me up?
01:55:50.000
He, like, time passed, and he's like, dude, I'm so sorry.
01:55:53.000
He's like, if you could come back, I'll take care of you, blah, blah, blah.
01:55:56.000
You know, I'll, like, make it worth your while, and I'll just, you'll never have to put any money up ever again.
01:56:04.000
Then, apparently, he got in trouble for, I think he tried to shoot at somebody.
01:56:08.000
So I went back to pay him back one time, and then some guy was like, nah, he's in jail.
01:56:13.000
But he tried to, you said he pulled the gun on you twice.
01:56:34.000
Yeah, it was kind of like one of those things where a guy comes in and he goes, oh my god, some guy happened to be behind me with a gun.
01:56:41.000
And I was sitting there like, this is bullshit.
01:56:43.000
So then he just took the money, took the weed, and then he was like...
01:56:48.000
Just like, who the fuck, you know, blah, blah, blah.
01:56:49.000
He started telling me, like, I was on his territory.
01:56:53.000
And I just sat there, and he just talked for, like, two minutes.
01:56:56.000
And he was like, if you guys try to look out the window, there's people outside.
01:57:00.000
I did have a thousand bucks behind my back, though.
01:57:02.000
I didn't tell him about, so I got to keep that.
01:57:06.000
A lot of people would have lost their composure.
01:57:07.000
Thankfully, that other guy pulled his gun on you before.
01:57:09.000
Dude, you know what happens, though, is you lose...
01:57:12.000
Everything slows down and you're able to like I was in that the first time I just shit my pants the second time I was like Looking at the kid who I never met before who I knew kind of set this up because I watched one kid I knew like being a real state of fear And I watched this other guy pretending to be scared all while this guy in a ski mask was like with a gun and it was just like fuck I really hope like the part of my brain like I might get shot just went offline and I was able to watch and be like I'm gonna fucking kill this little motherfucker when this guy you know blah blah blah but And so how long after that did
01:58:13.000
So how did you start making money when you quit?
01:58:16.000
I always worked in construction and stuff, too.
01:58:18.000
I'd always have a side gig, so I never depended on one too much.
01:58:21.000
So I could always say, like, fuck you to my job if I didn't like it.
01:58:23.000
And if things got weird, I could be like, I'm not going to do that.
01:58:51.000
Sounds like you got some good stories out of it, though, and you lived.
01:58:55.000
But I was living according to a fucked up system, and it was like things called mental disorders got me out of it.
01:59:01.000
We're like, dude, my body was like, this is fucked up.
01:59:06.000
When you were crying after you tried to sell real estate.
01:59:14.000
I'm like, I'm gonna become a realtor and really expand my empire.
01:59:17.000
Imagine a 19-year-old kid trying to sell your house.
01:59:20.000
I had like a shaved head and I would come in and like people would just be like, yeah, we're not gonna use you and I'd cry in my car and be like, fuck, it's so fucking hard.
01:59:29.000
We're gonna buy the house but we won't use you?
01:59:31.000
They would say they were gonna use me and then I'd be like, sweet, I'm about to make 4,000 bucks and I would like take a credit card and max it out being like, payday's coming and then they'd be like, yeah, we're actually going with someone else and I'd be like, fuck.
01:59:42.000
Isn't that a dirty move in the real estate world?
01:59:47.000
Well, in real estate, what people do is they go, we'll get you, like, what did the other guy say he can get you for your house?
01:59:54.000
Because you'll just go, oh, yeah, that sounds better.
01:59:56.000
But then they know it's not going to sell for that, but they sign you into the contract.
01:59:59.000
And they slowly lower you down, which kind of fucks you.
02:00:02.000
Because that, like, first week's kind of important.
02:00:04.000
If they see you've lowered the price, then they go, oh, they're open to negotiations.
02:00:10.000
You and Tim Dillon should do a podcast just on real estate.
02:00:12.000
Dude, I remember I was like, I'm going to start being a grown-up and reading the newspaper, and I open it up, and it was like, subprime mortgage crisis.
02:00:36.000
Yeah, he bought it for like $600,000 when he was 21 years old, worth nothing.
02:00:43.000
And then they took it from him and then it sold for $250,000.
02:00:47.000
So it's like right after 2008, everything crashed.
02:00:52.000
But he's like, why the fuck did they sell me a house?
02:00:56.000
The way he describes, we did a podcast together recently, his podcast, that we filmed here, but the way he describes it, it's funny.
02:01:08.000
Like, why are you trying to buy that house if you don't have a job?
02:01:21.000
Another way is looking at it like some family that, like, scrapes together money and the bank convinces them this can work out.
02:01:26.000
And then their fucking rates go through the roof.
02:01:28.000
And then they can't afford their house anymore.
02:01:31.000
Like, once it's like the house is $400,000, even if you have good credit, you're like, how much am I going to pay?
02:01:36.000
And they're like, over 30 years, you're going to pay $400,000 in interest.
02:01:40.000
You crying in front of that real estate thing was kind of...
02:01:48.000
He said he was crying after a deal didn't go through and a guy drove by on a bike.
02:01:52.000
No, that was when I... That was when I got divorced.
02:01:56.000
I used to go every day to my house that I was living in when I was married and I'd walk the dog from my ex, my ex-wife, because, like, you know, she was at work and I didn't want to, like, you know, fuck her over.
02:02:14.000
Chances are this is going to reach that dog's ear.
02:02:26.000
And I'd be like, God, I'm a fucking piece of shit.
02:02:29.000
Then I'd drive home and cry the whole way home.
02:02:31.000
And then I saw a guy jogging, and I was like crying in my car, and I was like, pussy, out of the window.
02:02:39.000
And he just looked at me like, what the fuck, dude?
02:02:41.000
Yeah, we had the same sort of- I was like, nice shorts, pussy.
02:02:46.000
I was driving back to our house, and there was just a finance bro on a bike.
02:02:51.000
And I was just driving by him, and I was like, pussy.
02:02:55.000
And I hit a red light, and I saw him flying, dude.
02:02:58.000
For like a mile, I saw this dude pedaling to catch up to me.
02:03:11.000
Dude, he stuck his head in my window, and he goes, nice car, you fucking faggot.
02:03:17.000
And then I went, and we both started laughing, and he paddled away.
02:03:23.000
I mean, as soon as he hit me with what he said, and I didn't react by like, yeah, right, I laughed.
02:03:40.000
Yeah, like an aggressive exchange, but you both walked away feeling good.
02:03:46.000
I saw a guy on a bike, and I was like, nice bike, fucking loser.
02:03:51.000
He goes, nice piece of shit car, you fucking...
02:03:56.000
Yelling out of car, we used to live on Drexel's campus.
02:03:59.000
And it was back right when the woke stuff was starting.
02:04:22.000
Dude, this is a hilarious exchange with this dude who I guess is like this right-wing comedian.
02:04:27.000
He goes to one of these Ukraine protests and he brings a homeless guy and he says, my wife's boyfriend is homeless.
02:04:35.000
You know, why don't you help him and the homeless people here?
02:04:38.000
And this guy like legitimately tries to engage him.
02:04:41.000
Like, why are we sending all this money to Ukraine?
02:04:46.000
And he's got this dude with his shirt off, and he's like shaking his cup with change in it, like, come on man, give me some money.
02:04:52.000
I'm like, we donate some money to him, and the guy like tries to engage about the problems with Ukraine, and we have a legitimate problem with Ukraine.
02:05:06.000
That liberal robot zombie repeating shit that he saw on CNBC just saying it.
02:05:14.000
If somebody comes with a homeless dude and starts fucking with you, if they're a tag team, you and a homeless dude roll up and start fucking with people.
02:05:22.000
It's just funny watching this guy trying to engage with these liberal Ukraine talking points.
02:05:46.000
Yeah, but what about the homeless people right here in America?
02:05:50.000
The only thing $100 billion to Ukraine is a lot.
02:06:11.000
Putin has been threatening to attack other countries, including the United States.
02:06:26.000
Just watching that guy actually try to engage him.
02:06:29.000
Actually, Putin's been threatening to invade other countries.
02:06:38.000
No, well, maybe, but the guy holding up a Ukrainian-American flag, that's an insane person.
02:06:53.000
What percentage of people do you think, like, genuinely can't think for themselves?
02:07:02.000
And not only that, but they've had jobs where they've been forced to, like, all day, every day, follow the rules, you know, listen to the boss, be told when to show up, what to do, and you just get into this drone mindset.
02:07:15.000
And then there becomes an ideology that everybody in your business shares.
02:07:19.000
And you have to share that ideology or you get pushed out into the fringes of the social group.
02:07:28.000
And then, you know, they say, well, a good way to get brownie points is to tell people I protested.
02:07:35.000
I'm going to let everybody know that I'm with the cause.
02:07:39.000
Like two-thirds of the people just let him, they were like, yeah, I'll just shock this guy.
02:07:44.000
That was the one where they were like, the guy in a lab coat would be like, turn up the voltage now.
02:07:49.000
Like a guy as an authority figure, he'd be like, turn it up now.
02:07:53.000
And then they'd be like, the guy would be like, no, hell, please, it hurts.
02:07:55.000
And the guys, the people would be like sweating and like, they didn't want to do it on some level, but for some reason they just kept obeying this guy.
02:08:02.000
Like if he was like an authority figure, he'd be like, do it.
02:08:06.000
He didn't yell or anything, like, you must do this.
02:08:09.000
And they were like, and only like two-thirds, I think only a third of the people went like, fuck this, dude, this is fucked up.
02:08:14.000
Yeah, they would make it so the guy in the other room would pass out or die.
02:08:18.000
He would go from screaming and screaming and screaming, and then towards the end, the guy would be silent.
02:08:26.000
It was like an overwhelming amount of people would just obey this, mindlessly obey an authority figure.
02:08:32.000
Do you think that's some program shit from back when we were hunter-gatherers?
02:08:39.000
Because, yeah, if you got kicked out, you would die.
02:08:41.000
If they're like, you know, buzz off, you would die.
02:08:43.000
Yeah, there's a thing that people have where they look to authority.
02:08:50.000
Because he's this big, larger-than-life character that has confidence.
02:09:00.000
And he's doing this, and everybody's like, yeah!
02:09:05.000
And you find out, like, the problems with the education system, the chickens have come home to roost, motherfucker.
02:09:14.000
Millions and millions and millions and millions and millions of dummies in this country.
02:09:19.000
They would take so much to boost them out of dummyhood.
02:09:27.000
You can't take adults and, like, shatter their worldview.
02:09:30.000
Or be like, two things can be true simultaneously.
02:09:32.000
The average is gonna go, what the fuck are you talking about, dude?
02:09:37.000
But it's hard to grow when you're working all day.
02:09:39.000
And if you're working all day in a place where you have to follow the rules and you have to, like, stay in that mindset that we're talking about and be a part of that ideology, very hard to stray outside of it.
02:09:51.000
If you're one of those right-wing Christian groups and you go, well, maybe if someone gets raped, they shouldn't have to carry a kid.
02:10:07.000
Your whole family is being like, we're going to fuck you up.
02:10:09.000
It's like the Westboro chick that got out of it.
02:10:14.000
She was on fucking Howard Stern's Hollywood Squares.
02:10:37.000
Look, what he did, I mean, look, people to this day, they make fun of Howard Stern because of who he is now and the way he behaves now.
02:10:48.000
When he was the king of all media and he was telling everybody to suck his dick and the FCC was going after him, the government was fining him.
02:10:56.000
They were finding his businesses fucking millions of dollars.
02:11:00.000
And he was out there doing wild shit on the radio.
02:11:03.000
He was putting a Klansman on with fucking Young Thug.
02:11:11.000
Yeah, he has to be, though, because, dude, the skeleton's that guy.
02:11:24.000
You know, what's interesting, too, is that when you talk to Megan Phelps, this woman who left the Westboro Baptist Church, and, you know, she wrote a book, and she's so kind, like, so normal and interesting, and she realized she had to get out, and she got out by meeting a guy on Twitter.
02:11:41.000
Some guy on Twitter was, like, arguing back and forth with her, and so she engages with this guy, and they start having, like, civil conversations, and then they meet, and they wind up marrying.
02:12:01.000
But she was raised in the Westboro Baptist Church.
02:12:14.000
This guy would confront her with actual biblical stuff.
02:12:19.000
What they're doing, what Fred Phelps is doing, is wrong.
02:12:41.000
Dude, while they're fucking just like, song of songs.
02:12:44.000
8, 13. Yeah, that's pretty cool that he did that.
02:12:53.000
If you're in it when you're young, you get indoctrinated.
02:13:07.000
Next thing you know, you're drinking the fucking Kool-Aid.
02:13:10.000
You're literally like, fuck it, everyone else here is killing themselves.
02:13:15.000
Because they somehow hijacked the definition of being cool.
02:13:17.000
And it's like, you gotta love government and big corporations, and then you're cool.
02:13:21.000
And all the young kids now, a lot of them are fucking warped on it.
02:13:27.000
They're gonna get their dreams shattered over and over and over again, and they're gonna come out of it on the other side and realize they got fucked.
02:13:35.000
But the putting your faith in the pharmaceutical drug companies and the government, and then the climate crisis crew that's trying to make money off that, all of it is just like, you're carrying water for people that have been stealing money forever.
02:13:59.000
That's why it's interesting when you watch this Biden thing.
02:14:07.000
All they gotta do to get rid of him is let him give an interview.
02:14:15.000
You know, like, during the presidential campaign, remember when he was hiding?
02:14:29.000
All he had to do to win the debate was shut the fuck up and let Biden talk.
02:14:38.000
He acted like a fucking asshole in the first one.
02:14:42.000
I was watching it like, dude, shut the fuck up.
02:14:51.000
The problem also, this is the real problem, the debate format is ridiculous.
02:14:56.000
If you are talking to someone who is going to be the President of the United States, and you have five minutes to say what you're saying, or 30 seconds, or a minute, whatever, any kind of time constraint like that is ridiculous.
02:15:08.000
When Lincoln used to give speeches, they would do it outside with no mic for hours.
02:15:11.000
They would talk for hours and hours and hours about what they wanted to do and how they wanted to do it.
02:15:15.000
And then people would sit there and listen to it.
02:15:18.000
And you get an understanding of what the fuck this guy's all about.
02:15:29.000
Well, they do, but now all of a sudden that's kind of weird.
02:15:34.000
They'll fact-check the one guy and not the other guy.
02:15:37.000
And then you're sitting there going, wait, is that true?
02:15:39.000
Well, a lot of things were fact-checked during COVID that turned out to actually be true.
02:15:48.000
If they get caught lying during the thing, it should be like, no, that's actually false.
02:15:52.000
Yeah, but these independent fact checkers, a lot of the fact checks are very subjective, how they view the information.
02:15:59.000
It's funny too, those debates could be good, but the only guys that are willing to speak up and say, there's one from Ron Paul in 08, that's like, damn, that was a good, that guy's, Yang would come up and make a good point.
02:16:14.000
The guys that are going to win don't even try to make a good point.
02:16:17.000
It would have been very interesting to see if Ron Paul won.
02:16:20.000
If Ron Paul won, that would have been very interesting.
02:16:31.000
No, but his ideas about non-interventionalist foreign policy, like, it resonated with a lot of people.
02:16:42.000
And he went off on, like, why do you think it happened?
02:16:45.000
It was at a Republican convention where everyone was like, Boom, shut the fuck up.
02:16:50.000
He's like, they don't fucking hate our freedom.
02:16:57.000
Or his bid for the election, but it's pretty sick.
02:17:09.000
Yeah, that was the guy who was always attacking Fauci.
02:17:12.000
He was attacking him about gain-of-function research, and Fauci was just something lying.
02:17:19.000
Rand was in a debate, and he was like, I haven't gone after your looks at all.
02:17:37.000
To have that kind of confidence with that head of hair is preposterous.
02:17:40.000
Go after people's looks, and you're literally wearing a mirage.
02:17:48.000
Well, I think they would all approach it very differently now.
02:17:50.000
They're probably like, oh, next time I'll get him.
02:17:56.000
In a soundbite debate, they could never come near him.
02:18:01.000
I mean, he's a guy who's been speaking publicly forever.
02:18:07.000
He'll go on and be like, yo, you're ugly as fuck.
02:18:15.000
I mean, that was in a debate, and the crowd was like, ahhh.
02:19:05.000
Just somebody telling you facts and you're like, shut the fuck up.
02:19:11.000
The prototype of the Fox, blonde, super hot assassin lady.
02:19:21.000
Those super hot Republican ladies on Fox They're the hottest women alive.
02:19:39.000
I had this whole bit about, like, Megyn Kelly is literally wearing a vagina curtain.
02:19:44.000
I mean, it's not even a good curtain, like a blackout curtain you'd have in a theater.
02:19:48.000
It's like the little curtain grandma has over a kitchen window sill, where the window's open.
02:19:55.000
A small amount of cloth between that and her underwear, which is just this tiny little piece of cloth that's over her vagina.
02:20:02.000
Don't give me three, you're trying to give me heart.
02:20:05.000
They all have beautiful legs, and their whole leg is exposed.
02:20:11.000
You see their feet, you see their toes, and their legs are crossed.
02:20:16.000
You have full cleavage, arms are exposed, there's so much skin.
02:20:22.000
It is wild, though, the attire that women are allowed to wear in certain situations.
02:20:32.000
Men cover up, suit, a tie, and that's a man dressing nice.
02:20:37.000
You could see half of her tits, you see most of her legs, you see her feet, you see her toes, you see her painted little toes, perfect Perfect little feet.
02:20:56.000
She's looking at you in the eyes like, I'm mad.
02:20:57.000
And you're like, fuck, I've been so fucking bad.
02:21:06.000
How they trick butterflies into dedicating their whole lives.
02:21:24.000
Like, bummed out that he's asking me to have you come along.
02:21:35.000
You'd be like, this motherfucker's fucking changing my show.
02:21:39.000
I know, we're friends, but like, it's still like a, hey, you want me to bring another guy?
02:21:45.000
But I also knew, I knew in my heart of hearts, Matt would rise to the occasion and say things like, have you ever heard of super stimuli or whatever bullshit that was?
02:21:55.000
It's fucked up to think about because you can attract people, you can attract species to, you find what they're innately attracted to and you produce a version of that that's so pumped up nature can't reproduce it and it hijacks your biology.
02:22:11.000
They would get these butterflies that are like the deeper the shade of purple, like some type of butterfly.
02:22:18.000
They would go to that to like mate with the female.
02:22:20.000
They started getting these like dark purple construction papers.
02:22:23.000
These male butterflies would dedicate their whole lives to just like floating around this piece of paper and they'd die.
02:22:29.000
And then we have human beings who are getting hit with the same shit.
02:22:38.000
And then you get hooked to the fake thing and it hijacks your biology and you're like, I want that.
02:22:45.000
I start eating Sour Patch Kids, I can't stop it.
02:22:50.000
And the next thing, I eat a bag of candy and I'm sitting there having a fucking diabetes attack.
02:22:54.000
Dude, if you go into a convenience store, 99% of the shit is bad for you.
02:23:06.000
You gotta buy those hard-boiled eggs that are in a plastic bag at a gas station.
02:23:18.000
Because, first of all, you can keep eggs for a long time.
02:23:25.000
And then when they cook it, once they cook it, it's boiled all the way through, so you don't have to worry about salmonella.
02:23:34.000
But the societal repercussions of eating it publicly outweigh the nutritional.
02:23:39.000
Dude, I was with a guy who we were on a road trip.
02:23:42.000
He got in the car and started eating fucking eggs out of a plastic bag at a gas station.
02:23:53.000
Not only would I eat that, I would be flocked to that.
02:24:13.000
I was at the gas station and they had eggs with jalapenos in them.
02:24:30.000
The most terrible fart in a Tesla is just eating fucking gas station eggs.
02:24:37.000
The most terrible farts that I can make are pasta with, like, meat sauce.
02:24:41.000
If I have pasta with, like, sausage, with the tomato sauce and a giant bowl of spaghetti.
02:24:48.000
So I'll eat sausage or something before a show.
02:25:06.000
How many times have you ever farted on stage and knew it was horrific?
02:25:20.000
Did you stop talking while you were farting or did you...
02:25:23.000
It was a long time ago, but I remember it was so bad that I was like, oh no, I gotta get away from this.
02:25:36.000
Joey did that before in the OR. He was in the middle of a bit.
02:25:54.000
Because the way I would imagine is the crowd going...
02:25:58.000
Like, people must have been like, what was that?
02:25:59.000
It was at the store in the OR. The store in the OR is basically doing stand-up in a prison colony.
02:26:07.000
Like, they're so accustomed to, especially back then, they're so accustomed to just this wild comedy and Brian Holtzman and all these different fucking people going up slaying and talking about all kinds of crazy shit.
02:26:29.000
Yeah, I thought you meant that club, the store.
02:26:34.000
If you can get a room like that where guys are farting in mics, I'm coming.
02:26:57.000
I mean, dude, it's literally the sign of totalitarian oppression to be like, yo, seriously, don't fucking joke about that.
02:27:04.000
And people don't realize that, but people have realized that throughout history.
02:27:07.000
The Lakotas had a sacred person in their tribe called the Hayoka, who'd make fun of everything.
02:27:36.000
If you fucked up, they'd give you a fucked up name.
02:27:39.000
It would be your name until you drew them wrong.
02:27:48.000
It wasn't as magical as we like to think it was.
02:27:54.000
Well, when you read about what they did to each other, you're like, oh, Jesus Christ.
02:27:58.000
This idea that they were these peaceful people that were living together, living off the land, and everybody lived in harmony.
02:28:10.000
Dog dick and his buddies would show up and fucking drag you and your kids off without hitting a horse.
02:28:15.000
They would go on raids just like the Vikings did.
02:28:19.000
The Comanches especially, the people that lived here, they were raiders.
02:28:25.000
And the other thing they would do that's fucked up, they caught guys.
02:28:27.000
They caught guys slipping like some US guys were trying to make their way across.
02:28:31.000
They would cut their horses loose in the middle of the night.
02:28:35.000
And so they would stampede their horses out so they'd never get their horses back, and then they would slowly follow them from a distance while they starved to death.
02:28:45.000
So they'd be on horseback at the top of a ridge just, you know, a few hundred yards away, laughing at them.
02:29:03.000
The government was going to pay for his college.
02:29:07.000
Now my hair was starving to death in the planes.
02:29:22.000
That was the scariest part of that book about the Donner Party where there was like...
02:29:25.000
The scary part about crossing the plains was like a kid would get off the wagon and like walk.
02:29:38.000
It was a desert with grass that was up to here.
02:30:01.000
Everyone was just shitting around the camp, drinking out of the water.
02:30:11.000
You don't have time to boil the water, so just drink out of the creek.
02:30:15.000
Now all of a sudden, Indian fucking Comanches start following you.
02:30:22.000
They're like, we're going to rape you in about a week.
02:30:35.000
Imagine the sourpuss on one of your wagon wheels brakes and you're like, how the fuck do I fix this again?
02:30:46.000
You're making your way across the entire country on wheels made out of wood.
02:31:06.000
Well, that Cynthia Ann Parker story, the woman who was nine years old, when her whole family was slaughtered, and they would take the young ones and integrate them into the tribe, because the Comanche lost a lot of children, a lot of mothers while they were pregnant.
02:31:18.000
Baby Navy never came to term because they were riding horses, and they're bouncing around all the time, and they're fucking...
02:31:26.000
So their populations, it was very important to keep a high population.
02:31:29.000
So they would bring in people that they captured.
02:31:38.000
If they see, like, a mom all drunk and fucked up, I've heard.
02:31:41.000
I don't want to slur the Amish, but I've heard they'll fucking...
02:32:07.000
What's that thing they get to do when they turn into...
02:32:10.000
They get to stay on Rumspring as long as they want.
02:32:17.000
You can be like 38 and be like, alright, Rumspring is done.
02:32:22.000
If they can't talk to you, yeah, you can get shunned real hard.
02:32:25.000
If you fuck up real bad, people, everyone you know, just won't talk to you.
02:32:38.000
Yep, or if you go like, alright mom, like one time.
02:32:41.000
I mean, like, how do you even know if they're mad at you?
02:32:46.000
Like, that's a big thing in the Amish community.
02:32:48.000
Right, but what I'm saying is, how do they know the parents are mad if they're out running around because the parents don't have phones?
02:32:56.000
He's saying when you get back, if you fuck up within the community, you will get shunned.
02:33:07.000
You'll come and be like, hey mom, and she'll just go turn her back.
02:33:19.000
I'd take off my Huckleberry Finn pants and be like, nice.
02:33:25.000
I mean, you probably got some rich databanks, dude.
02:33:28.000
They probably have some drawings they can show you.
02:33:30.000
I bet those dudes, dude, it doesn't matter how religious you are.
02:33:34.000
If you're a young boy trying to whack off, you're getting your hands on something.
02:33:39.000
Who's ever gone the longest in the 20th century jacking off just on memory?
02:33:59.000
Yeah, when I first stopped, dude, I was having dreams about porn.
02:34:07.000
Thought about getting caught because I've gotten caught before by my wife, which you know, whatever fair game But like I thought about getting caught by my kids.
02:34:15.000
I'm like, I'm definitely gonna get caught and I went I'm stopping this now Yeah, yeah, you're stopping now guy when you see a problem stopping now with drug dealings stopping now from jerking off Yeah, I'm still fat.
02:34:25.000
What about when you go to a hotel room though, bro?
02:34:27.000
See that's the thing, bro When we're done this...
02:34:37.000
Not looking at the porn in the hotel room is tough.
02:34:47.000
You said your worry was that you were going to get caught.
02:34:48.000
Yeah, but also I've been a big hardo about being like, I quit porn.
02:34:51.000
I've said it in public, so now if I go back on it, I'm going to get crushed.
02:35:06.000
He keeps talking to me about this, and every time I'm like, who cares?
02:35:11.000
I genuinely don't think about it or care about it.
02:35:41.000
How many girls get stuck under the bed looking for an earring?
02:35:52.000
But you quit selling drugs and you quit watching porn.
02:36:04.000
Also, he's discussed what type of porn he's into.
02:36:36.000
It's just a ramping up of, like, talking about supernormal stimuli, dude.
02:36:41.000
It's like, your brain, you need, like, the edge.
02:36:47.000
But then it's like, you get the blood flowing on sex stuff.
02:36:51.000
You go to, like, something a little bit more kind of out there.
02:36:54.000
And then you finally, you land on those shores and you go, my God.
02:37:02.000
One of our first episodes is he's explaining, he watches it, and I was like, what the fuck?
02:37:13.000
First things first, I'm watching a dude, like you can see his clavicles while he's fucking, or her.
02:37:29.000
I saw one fucking dude on top with tits, but you could still see the clavicle and the Adam's apple, and I was like...
02:37:40.000
But, I will say, dude, I'm telling you, it's a silent epidemic, dude.
02:37:50.000
Actually, no, if you read the book, what is it, fucking A Billion Wicked Lies, A Billion Wicked Thoughts, where they crunch the fucking metadata from the internet, and it's like, it's due with numbers, dude.
02:38:01.000
Someone's crunching the metadata on trans porn?
02:38:18.000
He's crunching metadata with a pen in his hand.
02:38:20.000
He's got a pen in his hand and he's fucking hovering it over the paper.
02:38:27.000
And now he's here and he's like, I'm telling you, they crunched numbers on T-Porn.
02:38:39.000
Dude, it's your fucking sexuality at stake, and I'm fucking hetero as hell.
02:38:47.000
I know a lot of people listening are not going to believe you.
02:38:53.000
Bro, how nice would it be to get back to the hotel and just T-porn it up?
02:39:00.000
You go off of it, you kind of de-escalate the fucking dopaminergic drive towards more and more of crazy...
02:39:11.000
You can just go to a karma-free stepmom type porn where you got a 45-year-old lady.
02:39:38.000
You know that hot 45-year-old who your dad isn't fucking anyway.
02:39:45.000
It's so much better, but I'm saying when you, like, some guys can't drink.
02:39:53.000
Some guys can't drink because they stay out on like, I can't, dude.
02:39:58.000
When we were talking to William Montgomery, we were talking to William Montgomery in the green room last night, and William Montgomery's been off of coke and booze for quite a long time, and they showed a picture of him when he was fat and drunk, and I was like, one bump of coke.
02:40:17.000
And you can see, like, look at his face, like, am I kidding?
02:40:27.000
It's actually something I've got to stop doing.
02:40:30.000
Have you ever talked to anybody into doing something dark?
02:40:32.000
Every single time Adam Egett comes out with me, me and him get fucked up.
02:40:46.000
When he's in the green room, we always offer him a drink.
02:40:54.000
And he spent the day, I texted him earlier, and he was playing Madden, and he was winning 150 to nothing.
02:41:02.000
He was running the score up on the computer on the easiest level.
02:41:08.000
I mean, it was the weirdest, kind of the saddest fucking thing I've ever heard.
02:41:12.000
He's the man, but he told me it was his birthday.
02:41:16.000
And he was literally at his house, in his apartment, playing Madden on the easiest level, running up the score.
02:41:25.000
When I first started talking about doing a club out here, he was the first guy I called.
02:41:35.000
As soon as I escaped LA, I was like, hey Adam, what are you doing?
02:41:50.000
He was one of the reasons why I went back to the store in the first place.
02:41:56.000
He used to work at the Tempe Improv back in the day when I would roll through, and then he showed up one day at the Improv and had a conversation.
02:42:24.000
He'll be able to get them good spots and help them figure it out.
02:42:32.000
I never considered really moving down here until I just got my taxes.
02:42:56.000
I like to go to New York, hang out there for a few days, go to the restaurants, do some shows, get the fuck out.
02:43:10.000
I lived in New Rochelle because I needed a parking spot because I did the road so much.
02:43:16.000
I couldn't afford to live in the city and also afford a parking spot.
02:43:23.000
Yeah, I just have an apartment in New York where I play video games three days of the week.
02:43:29.000
Other than that, I'm on the road or doing shows at night.
02:43:32.000
If I'm home, I'm like, I'm just going to hang out.
02:43:59.000
I remember when they were so mad that Uber showed up.
02:44:17.000
And now you drive around and you're like, what a weird system, right?
02:44:24.000
Yeah, Philly made Uber pay them like $250,000 a year, because they sell, they call them taxi medallions, so you have to buy a license, and the licenses were worth a lot of money.
02:44:34.000
And then once Uber came in, it's like a liquor license, but for driving taxi cabs.
02:44:43.000
So then the Philadelphia Parking Authority owns the cabs, and they're like, you gotta pay $250,000.
02:44:51.000
PPA. Dude, we have a fucked up thing going on there.
02:44:55.000
They'll just- if you get parking tickets, they'll just come snag your car.
02:44:58.000
And like the parking t- they double in value- it's really fucked up.
02:45:10.000
They would take them and I'd just go, fuck you guys.
02:45:13.000
One time I went back, because you had to write like, you could go get your valuables out of your car before they sold it at auction.
02:45:18.000
So I went back and you had to fill out a piece of paper of what was in there and I put like a giant dildo.
02:45:22.000
And I put all this stuff and they had to take it back to their guy and have it written off on us.
02:45:32.000
How many tickets do you have to have before they take your car?
02:45:41.000
You get two or three tickets you don't pay, and they put a boot on you, and they take your car.
02:45:45.000
And then they charge you every day they have it.
02:45:52.000
You can pay them to take the boot off and they won't tow it.
02:45:58.000
You've got to call a bunch of people, figure out where your car is.
02:46:01.000
And then you go down there and you pay for them and they give it back to you.
02:46:03.000
Now if you don't pay it back in time, then they sell it off at auction.
02:46:07.000
And they can also do a thing where they've taken my dad's car where my brother owed money.
02:46:14.000
And they're just like, sorry dude, it is what it is.
02:46:23.000
Yeah, but they both have the same first name, so they're like, oh, it was a mistake, but they're like, you still gotta pay, and it's like, you know, like, fuck it.
02:46:29.000
You still gotta pay even though it's a mistake?
02:46:34.000
You go up to, like, blacked-out glass and just talk to a lady who's just like...
02:46:38.000
Dude, I got my car towed when we were filming Gillian Keyes.
02:46:48.000
The car was just behind, like, an old warehouse.
02:47:00.000
I thought that story I was going to tell would be better.
02:47:02.000
No, when you go down there, it's like a barbed-wired fucking fence, and you go in, and someone's mean as fuck.
02:47:10.000
And then they control all the parking in the city.
02:47:14.000
And apparently, from what I've heard, the money doesn't even go to the city of Philadelphia.
02:47:19.000
It actually goes to some GOP. It goes to the state, weirdly, or part of it goes to the state.
02:47:25.000
If you try to look up the PPA, they say it's a quasi-governmental agency.
02:47:28.000
So when you try to follow where their money goes...
02:47:32.000
Should we Google this, or we should just take your way for it?
02:47:36.000
Seems like that one we might want to substantiate.
02:47:40.000
Dude, I've been beefing with the PPA. Fuck the PPA. I've been beefing with the PPA forever.
02:47:50.000
Me and my brother bought twin Camrys for a thousand bucks.
02:47:52.000
We bought two 88 Camrys off this old lady, and we were bopping around together.
02:48:02.000
It was the same old lady that got crushed by Vince McMahon.
02:48:14.000
When you get a ticket from the PPA or any of that, when you're fucking, like when we lived together, I had zero dollars.
02:48:28.000
By law, all PPA's on-street operations net revenue is allocated to the city's general fund of Philadelphia School District.
02:48:37.000
On-street operations revenue is generated from meter payments, permit fees, parking fines, vehicle auction proceeds, and booting and towing fees.
02:48:47.000
They had a thing where they weren't giving the schools money.
02:48:50.000
At least I thought I saw a thing where the schools were like...
02:49:12.000
You tell me that's going to those schools in Philly?
02:49:14.000
Overpays executives and has too many political...
02:49:19.000
Oh, it turns out the PPA's website might not be telling the total fucking story.
02:49:29.000
If someone takes your 88 Camry, dude, you'll be fucking salty.
02:49:33.000
You're gonna wait till you get on the highest platform on earth and go, fucking pieces of shit.
02:49:38.000
Well, when you get incentivized to have that much revenue coming in every year, what if nobody parked bad ever again?
02:49:44.000
What if everybody did the right thing, everybody paid the meter, and all that $264 million dried up?
02:49:56.000
Anytime I try to park, it's like Monday through Friday, 8 to 6, trash.
02:49:59.000
They go over those things with fucking 1,000 grits.
02:50:04.000
If your inspection's up, they'll take you every single day.
02:50:12.000
One time, there was a gap in what they were supposed to pay the schools, and they had to be like, oh.
02:50:18.000
2007, Parents United, a Philadelphia parent group that fights for school reforms, successfully sued the PPA for failing to pay the city and school district under its 2004 obligations.
02:50:27.000
During these years, the PPA was technically in breach of its agreement with the state and greedily withheld money that it owed.
02:50:43.000
But either way, I mean, I'll stop talking about that.
02:50:51.000
Well, it is a fucking gross thing when you're poor.
02:51:03.000
He stayed and ran my plate just because I was driving a poor person car.
02:51:07.000
And he followed me out of the gas station and then pulled me over.
02:51:37.000
I mean, I was mad at him just because I had zero dollars.
02:51:43.000
And cops have quotas for pulling people over in certain places.
02:51:47.000
It's not like written on paper in some places because it's not technically legal.
02:51:55.000
You're basically a glorified revenue collector.
02:51:59.000
Pulling people over and making money for the state.
02:52:01.000
You're not stopping any fucking real crimes doing that.
02:52:16.000
I mean, would they still keep cops around like they have a fireman?
02:52:29.000
And you need them, but yeah, the speed trap stuff.
02:52:39.000
Almost now, I'm looking forward to getting pulled over just so I can talk shop with them and be like, guys...
02:52:43.000
I mean, now that I can afford a ticket, you got me.
02:52:50.000
Those cameras where they were catching people, running red lights, and giving them tickets, and it turns out the money wasn't even, it was like a privately owned company.
02:53:00.000
It's like the PPA. PPA owns that, too, by the way.
02:53:09.000
New Jersey got busted for shortening the yellow lights and snagging people at those things.
02:53:19.000
Man, what's worse than when you're driving and you see a flash?
02:53:24.000
In Maryland, they do it a ton, where the speed limits are checked by speed cameras.
02:53:28.000
I'd be driving to shows, open mics and shit, again, to zero dollars.
02:53:31.000
I'd be driving, dude, a flash would be in the car.
02:53:38.000
Back then, it goes to your parents' address, dude.
02:53:48.000
It's funny how many different scams there are to extract money from people.
02:54:05.000
The highway patrol just sits there all day, and they'll be like, there's like, your chain is this way, and they're like $15,000.
02:54:30.000
When you go up to Penn State, it's through the mountains and there's just runaway ramps.
02:54:37.000
And it's so funny thinking of a dude just having to hit one.
02:54:43.000
Because when you're going down a steep hill, sometimes you just go, look how beautiful that is.
02:55:12.000
I just like thinking of the guy who's like half asleep.
02:55:27.000
What's all the smoke coming off the back of his?
02:55:55.000
Yeah, what is the smoke coming out of the back?
02:56:05.000
He doesn't make it all the way to the slammer at the end of it.
02:56:09.000
I mean, still, I can't believe he made it that high.
02:56:11.000
If he jammed his brakes, it would probably jack down.
02:56:15.000
That's like that snow tubing at the bottom, like, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.
02:56:31.000
He's a fun car guy from Fast and Loud, that show.
02:56:47.000
That kind of seems like brakes in that situation.
02:56:56.000
Can you imagine being a fucking dude behind the wheel of something that weighs?
02:57:13.000
Yeah, dude, even just driving, like, a truck with a trailer of, like, lawnmowers on the back, you try to stop that thing at, like, 60 miles an hour, it just doesn't stop.
02:57:19.000
Go to Richard Rawlings' Instagram page, and he's got a reel up of this dude who's revving up this truck engine, this gigantic souped-up truck engine, and it fucking blows up like it got hit by a missile.
02:57:33.000
Because it's a 3,000 horsepower souped-up engine, and they're like, wow!
02:58:20.000
Also, what happened, I guess I could just look for it, too.
02:58:34.000
Crunching the metadata on C4? That's interesting.
02:59:17.000
So, uh, Google 3,000 horsepower truck engine explodes.
02:59:25.000
I was gonna repost it, but it might have been that somebody died.
02:59:44.000
This just seems like a famous video that happened like a couple years ago.
02:59:58.000
Get some volume, though, because you've got to hear it because it's fucking bananas.
03:00:27.000
So they were testing the horsepower on a dyno and the fucking engine blew.
03:00:49.000
Did you watch any of the Beavis and Butthead, the new Beavis and Butthead?
03:01:07.000
If they watch TikTok videos, that could be funny.
03:01:16.000
Actually, I watched South Park and I deleted my account.
03:01:23.000
But there's so many streaming platforms, though.
03:01:49.000
I can't watch it here without logged in or anything.
03:01:53.000
I remember Celebrity Deathmatch, they had one, it was a halftime show.
03:02:05.000
They used to have a lot of, like, In Living Color had a halftime show during the Super Bowl.
03:02:11.000
Every show, like MTV did, we're going to do Celebrity Deathmatch at the halftime.
03:02:16.000
Every channel had a different, like, Super Bowl halftime switch over to us.
03:02:20.000
But now I think they're all owned by the same two companies.
03:02:39.000
This was the first time that I ever saw In Living Color.
03:02:44.000
When I saw Jim Carrey and he was doing Fire Marshal Bill, I was like, oh no.
03:02:55.000
Serving drinks to these yahoos during halftime can be lucrative.
03:03:20.000
They made Trump a giant asshole and then they were like, Biden's Jim Kerry and he's kinda cool.
03:03:28.000
What do they call him the Dark Brandon or something?
03:03:41.000
Yeah, there's certain art and all that stuff that's designed to bother people like me.
03:03:46.000
And when it works, I'm like, alright, that actually is funny.
03:03:48.000
Do you think that's what Jimmy Fallon's doing when he does that vaccine dance?
03:04:02.000
Do you think they have, like, a photo of him, like, on an island filled with hookers?
03:04:37.000
Damn, what if he started talking about like athletes falling over?
03:04:45.000
We want to talk about the new pandemic variant, but in a song.
03:05:01.000
I think he shows up, they're like, here you go, he's like, fuck it.
03:05:06.000
Yeah, there's some guy like me puffing a cigar like, Jimmy, here's what we're gonna do today.
03:05:24.000
I mean, if Gutfeld's buttfucking these guys, they're putting out a fucking dogshit program, dude.
03:05:52.000
Fallon had 30 million subscribers on his YouTube channel, but this does not drive advertising rates for the show.
03:05:57.000
His YouTube channel's way better than the fucking show.
03:06:09.000
Just form an alternative to what everyone's shoving down your throat.
03:06:14.000
You know, it's like the same thing on every network.
03:06:16.000
The same kind of jokes about the same kind of people.
03:06:21.000
And then on his show, he's just got a bunch of Looney Tunes and, you know, comics.
03:07:18.000
That fucking show, it's amazing how much more popular it is than those other network shows.
03:07:23.000
Isn't it crazy that the Democrats haven't figured out how to do a show like that?
03:07:28.000
We just get comics and sit around and talk shit and bring people on and fuck around and that's your talk show?
03:07:34.000
And you review the news together or you all mock it.
03:07:37.000
You read something that Biden did and everybody's like, bah!
03:07:51.000
That was one of the first, like, just a podcast.
03:07:55.000
And comics would just fuck around, talk shit to each other.
03:08:00.000
Man, those are like my favorite highlight videos.
03:08:14.000
Leary's giving him a hard time for having jokes.
03:08:21.000
And Leary gets upset with him that he's talking back to him.
03:08:24.000
He's like, yeah, maybe your show wouldn't have got canceled if you wrote.
03:08:33.000
Voss and Patrice would team up and it's the funniest duo possible.
03:08:39.000
He's very good at being like a sidekick and jumping in and being like, get him, get him, get him, fuck him.
03:08:50.000
You ever see the one when they would introduce him in, like, unexpected stand-up?
03:08:54.000
They would just, he would go into, like, a coffee shop.
03:08:57.000
And Club Soda Canning would go, ladies and gentlemen, Rich Voss!
03:09:06.000
On the radio, in front of all these fucking people that have no idea he was supposed to...
03:09:19.000
He could take it and then he would swing back once.
03:09:34.000
The best one he used to big dot when he would hit you with the billfold, he'd be like, here's 20 bucks.
03:09:42.000
He was the first headliner that was like, do you want to come open for me?
03:09:46.000
Fucking local shitholes in Pennsylvania and Jersey.
03:09:55.000
But getting friends with a real, legit comic like that when you're just starting out was so huge.
03:10:01.000
And then when I was getting SNL, Voss came up and was like, you know I've always been good to you, right?
03:10:13.000
But that's like that moment when a guy like that takes you on the road?
03:10:19.000
It was Voss and then Dan Soder was like, do you want to come on the road?
03:10:23.000
He's like, bro, I love you so much, I'll die for you.
03:10:41.000
It's one of those, you know, it happened with you, it's happening right now with Hinchcliffe.
03:10:52.000
That's because his character, he's a very unlikable person, his character.
03:10:58.000
And then you go talk to him off stage and you're like, fuck, this is the nicest guy ever.
03:11:03.000
Maybe you watch him on stage and he's such a cocksucker the whole time.
03:11:15.000
That is the greatest education a comic ever gets.
03:11:18.000
When you're first starting out and you get to go on the road.
03:11:22.000
And you're doing packed houses because they're all there to see that guy.
03:11:24.000
And you have your 15, 20 minutes you're supposed to do.
03:11:31.000
Going to an airport to go to a show, you're like, dude.
03:11:36.000
Just waiting for someone to ask you, like, what are you doing?
03:11:54.000
I'd go to an airport and be like, dude, this is going to be so sick.
03:11:59.000
The best thing that I ever did, and I did it early on, is I started bringing my opening acts.
03:12:04.000
I brought guys that I knew that were really funny, that were cool.
03:12:09.000
Instead of the club paying them, because they always underpay you, I would pay them.
03:12:16.000
And everybody's like, well, it costs money to fly people out.
03:12:25.000
Then it's me alone in a Phoenix hotel room, staring at the TV, flipping channels, deciding whether or not I want to work out now, when do I want to eat.
03:12:34.000
And then my only interaction with people is at the club.
03:12:45.000
Sometimes the first words he would say to anybody all day would be on stage.
03:13:09.000
When you're traveling with your boys, you're going to dinner with your friends.
03:13:13.000
If we were on the road, we would have the same conversation while we're eating steak.
03:13:18.000
Laughing, having fun, cracking a bottle of wine.
03:13:28.000
So I'd be like, oh, this is a nice little quiet weekend.
03:13:30.000
But yeah, if that was week after week after week after week, that would get kind of isolated.
03:13:38.000
And when you're on the road with your boys, it's like, they're your family.
03:13:58.000
Right, but if you're taking guys, like you're giving them a chance, and you realize like halfway into the weekend, like this is not gonna work out.
03:14:14.000
Yeah, I'll put those dudes up on a regular night and give them a shot, but not on the road.
03:14:18.000
When you're on the road, I'm bringing heavy hitters.
03:14:20.000
I'm bringing Brian Simpson and Hinchcliffe and Hans, and I'm bringing killers.
03:14:25.000
But the fun part is still, like, I remember being excited being at the airport.
03:14:33.000
But now I get to take, like, Lemaire and, like, Nate and all these guys that, like, they get to the airport and they're like...
03:14:57.000
If you've got to fly to Philadelphia and you live in LA, that day's gone.
03:15:02.000
So I would just take a 200 milligram edible and just go on a harrowing adventure of the soul.
03:15:17.000
Diaz and I, when we would travel together, because we started traveling together in the 90s.
03:15:21.000
I started taking Joey Diaz with me on the road in like 97, 98. We did gigs in New Jersey.
03:15:28.000
The reason why I started taking three people, I would take two people on the road with me, two openers, is because Joey didn't show up sometimes.
03:15:38.000
Because I'm like, God, I don't want to stop taking Joey.
03:15:41.000
Because when Joey did show up, he's the fucking life of the party.
03:15:48.000
But he did it enough where I was like, I'm going to hedge my bets.
03:15:51.000
And if Joey shows up, we've got a three-man show.
03:15:54.000
If Joey doesn't show up, we've got a two-man show.
03:16:04.000
When Hinchcliffe and I have done driving road trips, he's come up with some of his most ruthless material, making me laugh in the car.
03:16:11.000
I'm like, dude, you've got to say that on stage.
03:16:14.000
That's also the best thing, to have your friends with you.
03:16:17.000
If Matt's in the room, I'll be like, alright, I'm going to try the joke that you and me think's funny.
03:16:22.000
