00:01:01.000And Squarespace is having a contest right now to sort of accentuate that because the feedback of Squarespace has been so excellent.
00:01:10.000And their contest is, we're going to pick up to this week, January 17th it ends, and we're going to pick four of the baddest, most sweetest websites.
00:01:21.000And for the people that have created those four baddest, sweetest websites, we're going to give them a free year of Squarespace, and we're going to send those winners a swag bag with items like Squarespace, Apple keyboard, a t-shirt, moleskin, and more.
00:02:50.000What was the fact that I got a good eight-hour sleep?
00:02:54.000What was the fact that I ate good food?
00:02:56.000I think they all play a part of the thing.
00:03:00.000To really find out, you'd have to have a baseline where you ate the exact same foods, did the exact same activities, got the exact same amount of sleep.
00:05:49.000Squarespace and Ting are two of my favorite podcast sponsors because they're both two podcast sponsors that I haven't had a single person tell me anything bad about.
00:05:58.000And then, of course, someone listening to this right now is like, I'll be that guy!
00:09:18.000We're also brought to you by Onnit.com.
00:09:21.000That's O-N-N-I-T. They have a Stay On It program now.
00:09:26.000All the Onnit products you love automatically deliver to your door each month at the lowest price guaranteed.
00:09:33.000Our idea is that people get annoyed with having to over and over again buy shit and order shit.
00:09:38.000If you know what you like and if you've used it consistently, you can get it done and get it done this way and not have to think about it as much.
00:09:46.000What Onnit is, is basically we call ourselves a human optimization website.
00:09:51.000And what we try to sell you is all shit that we think...
00:10:58.000O-N-N-I-T. I can't even continue doing these type of super descriptive commercials because the people that have heard it a million times are freaking out.
00:11:07.000But if you're interested, go to Onnit.
00:11:09.000Use the code word ROGAN. And save 10% off any and all supplements.
00:13:22.000Yeah, especially if it was a part of a comedy festival, or maybe not even a regular set.
00:13:28.000Just like, ladies and gentlemen, we present you Dom Irera in a hammock, and you just swinging back and forth with a wireless microphone in the air and talking shit.
00:13:37.000Man, have things changed since I started doing the show.
00:13:40.000Redman has now taken acts on the road with him.
00:16:18.000I mean, it's just, first of all, it's fascinating because it's, even though you, say a woman's on stage, she could refresh her vagina, she could point to it, she could show it to you, but when someone starts talking with it, you know that noise came from that vagina.
00:17:16.000Yeah, imagine if a girl is like really seriously Christian and you know...
00:17:21.000I'll go to the show because I think Brian Redband's cute, but I heard that this girl, Tiffany Haddish, makes satanic noise with her vagina.
00:17:31.000Joe, do you remember the hooker that we interviewed a long time ago on the Joe show?
00:17:34.000Yeah, yeah, in the parking lot of the comedy store.
00:17:37.000She was telling us how she did the business and stuff.
00:19:18.000You know, why does it always have to be bad?
00:19:19.000Is it because we've associated sex with something that you're, it's naughty, you're not supposed to do it, so someone doing it for a living is somehow or another a bad thing?
00:19:27.000I used to get prostitutes after I fucked a regular girl.
00:19:36.000If I had one ounce of jizz left, seriously, I would have a waitress or something on the road club, and she'd go, and I'd call a prostitute.
00:21:51.000It's like, that is a lot of fucking money.
00:21:53.000But I was at the movie theater, I went to see American Hustle, and this couple behind us just kept talking.
00:21:59.000And it was not very many people in the theater, so they were talking pretty loud because there was no one next to them.
00:22:04.000And people just don't realize, they probably don't even realize they're being rude because they thought they were far away, but you don't realize how far your voice carries when everybody else is trying to...
00:22:42.000He was 72 years old or something, too.
00:22:44.000Well, maybe he's just ready to die on his own, and he was like, I'm just gonna start killing kids until one of them gets me.
00:22:51.000That's why I like Arclight, because not only you can pick your seats, but then if there's somebody that's talking or something, there's like a guy that just pretty much stands in that movie theater that they're on it like that.
00:23:20.000What you do is you get the box, and you set up a camera in a dark room, and you film it, and then we make a DVD of it, and then we sell it to our friends for $20 each, and get the $500 back.
00:24:11.000If you really paid attention to how goofy people are, you could really, at one point in time, force yourself into the mountain somewhere and just fucking be completely isolated.
00:27:03.000I knew Bob when Bob was an open-miker in Maine.
00:27:07.000We'd come down and do Nick's Comedy Stop, and he did a guest set at one of our shows on the road, because he was like the Bangor house comedian at this place.
00:27:17.000But it's a real sweetheart of a guy, and a very funny guy, but my point is that he's a huge act in Maine.
00:27:24.000He sells books and albums and cool arts.
00:27:29.000You might have heard of him, like most of you, if you're a comedy fan, you might have heard him on Sirius Satellite Radio or seen him on Comedy Central or something like that, but...
00:28:12.000If you do that, you stop being a comedian.
00:28:14.000He was always really nice to me, and then one time I interviewed him and De Niro for this Comedy Central thing, and he was real smug and shit.
00:34:32.000Side Splitters in Tampa, Knoxville, Side Splitters, Laugh Factory, Chicago, Long Beach, Vegas, Funny Bone, Columbus, Denver Comedy Works, Stress Factory, and Kilkenny Island.
00:34:43.000This is all great, but this is not the way- Thank you, Joe.
00:34:45.000Let me tell you the best way to do it in the future.
00:34:47.000Just get a Twitter that you post on a regular basis and have all your dates up on Twitter.
00:36:43.000I think what the deal is, is recently in the news, he's been just terrorizing his neighborhood, he's been terrorizing the cops.
00:36:50.000He's got a posse with him, you know, which is hilarious.
00:36:53.000That would suck if you had some multi-million dollar house and you lived in this really nice place, and then you had this crazy fuck living next door to you.
00:37:00.000Driving down the street like 50 miles per hour while your daughter's in the driveway, you know, that would suck.
00:37:05.000You think he'll end up killing himself?
00:37:06.000Well, if he's doing the coke, it's not a good sign, Irera.
00:38:30.000There's the opiates, the heroin, the meth, the speeds, the ones where you hear about these terrible stories of people's lives completely falling apart.
00:38:39.000I mean, you can kind of include pot in there.
00:38:42.000I've heard people talk about other people that ruin their life on pot.
00:39:53.000Yeah, Amy Winehouse, when she died, apparently, was just booze.
00:39:56.000You know, and everybody looks at her and you think of her as this mess, you know, this awful drug addict, boozer, pill poppin', but really, you know...
00:40:55.000Well, I think we missed that generation, that Hendrix and Janis Joplin generation.
00:41:01.000If you talk to anybody that went through that, they say that the change from the time of their parents to them was so massive and it was so much different than anything this culture had ever seen before.
00:41:53.000Supposedly, according to McKenna, the federal government originally came up when they found out about acid.
00:41:58.000They thought it was going to be a truth serum.
00:42:00.000They thought they were going to be able to give it to the enemy, grab him, hook him up with acid, and then they would tell him all the coordinates for the enemy bases.
00:42:09.000And then they found out it was not a truth serum.
00:42:11.000There's no fucking way this is a truth serum.
00:44:49.000If you want to hurt someone, scare them and put terror in them, and that somehow or another gives you joy or gives you some sort of a rush, and you're willing to sacrifice this person's safety and health, you don't understand the connection between human beings.
00:47:22.000You know, a guy shoots a guy for texting, you know, and whatever words were exchanged.
00:47:27.000But yeah, but if you could eliminate just that small amount, boy would things be different, man.
00:47:32.000If you could just figure out a way to not develop rapists, not grow up murderers, not like, you know, if we could just figure out how to do that.
00:47:40.000Just those things that none of us have done.
00:47:42.000Just those things that most of our friends haven't done.
00:47:44.000Just take those, you know, just those rare occurrences and eliminate them or drastically reduce them.
00:48:00.000Colleges, but also the pattern seemed to be he'd go into the music department where it was soundproof, the room, and the girl would be playing piano.
00:48:08.000You know, some practicing piano, and that's what he would do.
00:48:11.000You know, he had the whole thing down.
00:50:50.000But the fact that this is available for sale and they have licenses and they start selling it in retail outlets, but the government says you can't put your money in a bank.
00:50:58.000So they run into some serious danger because you're talking about massive amounts of cash.
00:51:04.000But they probably had a lot of cash before it was legal.
00:51:46.000Well, it shows you how the government is not looking out for your best interests.
00:51:49.000If they're willing to take these people who are doing something that they voted on and they deem lawful and take these people and put them in a weird situation where they can't put their money in a bank, you're being a bully.
00:52:01.000You're being a cunty, shitty bully and it doesn't make sense.
00:52:05.000You're not protecting anybody with this.
00:52:07.000This is actually putting people in danger.
00:52:12.000You're going to agree that the state says it's legal and states' rights, as we all agreed on when they formed this silly country, states' rights are supposed to take precedent.
00:52:21.000It's supposed to be the number one thing and then The federal government is only in charge in times of crisis and emergency and war.
00:52:28.000But you're supposed to be able to vote on things in your states.
00:52:41.000It's like you're forcing these people to stockpile money.
00:52:45.000If they want to be in business, they have to take bags of money out of there.
00:52:48.000Anybody can just rob them at any point in time, and you know it, and they know it.
00:52:51.000And so you put them in this situation where they become targets, and it's a really sneaky way of being a cunt.
00:52:58.000But you would think that they would want the money to become part of the system, because everybody makes more money, you know?
00:53:02.000Someone's resisting, and they think somehow or another, as they lose ground over and over and over again, they're going to do this one thing that's going to be good and get them back to the victory column.
00:55:44.000It was the girl who worked at the counter would blow you, and this guy was trying to bang everybody, and this guy didn't give a fuck, and this girl fucked these three guys one night.
00:57:16.000I worked in Montreal for fucking years, and one thing she has is balls and she's a good actress, but I have never seen anybody suck the energy out of a room.
00:57:28.000And she is so fucking strong a woman, but she's so fucking, she was so bad that they didn't know what, I saw people like trying to think of something funny that happened to them that day, so maybe they could smile.
00:58:19.000I did Marc Maron's podcast in Austin, and she was on, and she said they were talking about some terrorist thing, and I just, I said, oh, that, you know, I named the wrong guy, right?
00:58:30.000I was just, like, not paying attention.
00:58:32.000Her and Norton and these people, she goes, is he serious?
01:00:03.000I mean, like the things about the universe and when you get into certain things, I don't know how much you really know, but it's almost like you're preaching, but not in a bad way, not in a pedantic way, but just in a way like, holy shit.
01:00:16.000I think that's why you have so many fans, because you're so fucking strong in your beliefs.
01:00:59.000I always carry anchors with me to the beach.
01:01:03.000We're so lucky that this is a time where you could go on to just, you know, space.com or any io9.com.
01:01:11.000There's a million different websites that could show you these crazy videos of the universe and crazy new things they're discovering every day.
01:01:17.000I think this would be a shame to not, like, take part in the wonder of that all.
01:02:12.000Well, not only is there no end to it, this is what they're saying now.
01:02:16.000It doesn't make any sense to me, but they believe that the universe may be broken down into individual sizes, but then these individual universes exist in parallel with a bunch of other,
01:02:31.000like infinite number of individual universes.
01:02:34.000So what they think is that this is impossible for me to even understand, so I shouldn't even be relaying it, but this is how it's been explained.
01:02:42.000Inside every black hole, they think, is the portal to another universe.
01:03:25.000A fractal image is a geometric image that as you get closer and closer and smaller and smaller and closer in, you realize that the same image repeats itself over and over and over again infinitely.
01:03:37.000One of the more fascinating ones is called the Mandelbrot set.
01:04:02.000But then as you get closer and closer to this design, it branches out.
01:04:05.000All along the edges are not smooth, and around the edges are in fact...
01:04:10.000The exact same pattern of the Mandelbrot set, the way it looks on the outside, and then as you get closer in, you see it again, and closer in, you see it more.
01:06:47.000I mean, that's the idea, is that the Big Bang occurred 14-something billion years ago, and from then on, it's just been this expansion, this slow expansion to what we are today.
01:06:58.000So what club are you working this week?
01:09:23.000I think that shooting an animal is probably the most ethical way.
01:09:27.000I mean, period of ending an animal's life.
01:09:30.000If you're going to eat meat, even if you're buying meat that's in a store, you're dealing with the fact that that animal was a fucking slave.
01:09:37.000That animal was just sitting around waiting for its death from the moment it was alive.
01:09:41.000But if you're getting an animal in the wild, you're dealing with something that is completely off the grid.
01:09:47.000And then you're stepping into its world for a bit and taking something out of it.
01:16:00.000And he goes, yeah, because I want to do absinthe tonight, and I want to see what it's like from zero to 100. So the only reason he was staying sober was to see how fucked up he got on furniture polish, basically.
01:18:15.000Like I told you, like, you know the thing about Michael Jordan, where they go, well, he didn't even beat his mother in ping pong, you know, whatever, he has to beat everybody and everything.
01:18:23.000And I think, well, you know, there comes a point where he's an asshole.
01:18:28.000Not that you were ever an asshole, because you never were, but you were so mad at yourself when we used to shoot pool and stuff.
01:18:37.000Well, I realized somewhere along the way that that's a very faulty way of thinking, and that that's all it is.
01:18:44.000It's like being upset because you did something wrong doesn't make the doing something wrong better.
01:18:50.000And just like outwardly expressing it, in fact, is indulgent.
01:18:54.000And the really intelligent thing to do is to accept the fact that there's this shift in the way you feel because you're upset that something went wrong or whatever.
01:19:50.000I would know it was always a lack of concentration.
01:19:55.000There's shots that you miss where you know you just didn't hit it right, but there's also shots that you miss where you know it was a fairly makeable shot, but you took it for granted.
01:22:33.000Not only do we not understand how it works, but even if we did, even if we knew exactly how the operating system works, exactly how the memory is stored, which you can never make that thing.
01:23:26.000When I went to Colorado and I was gone for a while, When you flush the water, apparently there was these little tiny cracks in the pipe from the toilet down to the street.
01:28:17.000As far as a weekend, it was, I think, maybe when I was younger I did, but then I could remember as a gig that I was supposed to fly out to.
01:28:26.000I think I was supposed to do the Stress Factory.
01:28:54.000They were showing in Houston that people were like, I think they were up to like 50 people have died from the flu.
01:28:59.000I'm sure it's old people and babies, but...
01:29:01.000Well, you know, if you fuck up, man, that's the thing about, like, being sick or not having a healthy body or a healthy immune system.
01:29:11.000Like, when you're not healthy all the time, like, you're pulling all-nighters, you're getting a couple hours sleep before you get to work, you're working all day and drinking coffee.
01:29:18.000Your immune system is fucking getting chipped away.
01:29:21.000If that is when it enters into your life, you can die.
01:30:59.000There was some article that said that, I don't know whether they're saying that the people that are selling it are full of shit, but they were saying that the two different highs are indistinguishable, and I was like, man, I don't know about all that.
01:31:11.000Well, it seems like you're not getting high enough to really, you'd have to do it It's like a sommelier can tell the difference between merlots and cabernets right off the bat.
01:31:37.000They think of weed that just makes you chill, dog.
01:31:41.000It really just makes you just really not give a fuck.
01:31:46.000Just kick back and just your eyelids get heavy.
01:31:50.000And then there's pot, for me at least, that makes me really think about shit and really get introspective and break down my life and life itself and the city and universes and shit like that.
01:32:02.000That to me, whatever it is, whether it's the different cannabinoids or the different strain or whatever the fuck it is, there's a different response I have to two different kinds of weed.
01:34:51.000Just to really feel what pot does, you want a tiny amount of it.
01:34:56.000That way you distinguish it from regular consciousness, you fuck around with it, get a feel for it, see the good and the bad about it, and occasionally you're going to push it.
01:35:07.000Occasionally you're going to smoke two hits and three hits.
01:35:10.000Then you're going to feel weird as fuck and you're going to go, you know, me better back this down.
01:35:14.000So we back this down, take it down to one again, bring it down to one and just try one for a while.
01:35:19.000But when people start smoking a whole joint or two joints, that's like you've never ridden a motorcycle before and you get on one of those ninjas.
01:39:18.000Whereas when you're watching the WWE, you know that it's scripted.
01:39:22.000It's a wild, crazy event, and it's fun, and it's entertaining, and there's acrobatics, and you know, those guys, like, The Rock is a serious Oh yeah.
01:39:33.000Brock Lesnar was pretty successful in the UFC for a guy that didn't have any MMA fights to speak of other than one before he entered into the biggest stage on earth as a fighter.
01:39:44.000You know, so no disrespect to the wrestlers or anything like that, but one of the reasons why the audience will act like that is because they could feel that it's not real.
01:39:59.000I talked to a guy from Abu Dhabi who was telling me that his friend absolutely believes that it's real and he cannot argue with him that it's not.
01:40:08.000And he was so frustrated he didn't know what to say.
01:40:11.000My doctor thinks all professional football is rigged.
01:41:41.000I feel like if you're the one who wants to sit and coach and you would rather have the money, I feel like you should be allowed to do that.
01:41:49.000I just think it's a lack of class, so...
01:45:15.000They didn't give them big enough parts or some shit.
01:45:17.000They didn't get, you know, whatever it was, it's like, you know, I mean, I love that rite of passage for Italians that we were all supposed to be in The Sopranos.
01:45:25.000They only got a cast of like 20 people.
01:45:28.000There's a lot more Italians, you know.
01:45:30.000Well, I think there was a lot of people in that show that also had not really done a lot of acting before, like Stevie Van Zandt, Little Steven from the Bruce Springsteen band.
01:46:01.000Yeah, but I think what the appeal was, one of the appeals, was that these people that were in these peripheral roles that really shined and benefited from it greatly, like our friend Steve Sharippa.
01:54:03.000Unless you're going to do it like Karl Reiner did, where you just take it off sometime and wear it like it's a hat, which I think is funny.
01:54:37.000And if you could wear a toupee, that would make you smart.
01:54:39.000Imagine if people were that simple, that you just had a fiber optic toupee and you put on, it would mimic the effects of having a full head of hair, as far as your intelligence goes, or grow it even further.
01:54:50.000Well, you remember what goes on with the ego of these guys, you know?
01:55:07.000It was like everybody was bummed out because our ratings were down and it was like, God, we can't get on Thursday night, but this show goes on right before Friends or right after Friends and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
02:00:21.000No, I took blood pressure medication about two years ago and it made me, like we were saying, it made me less Italian and more Irish.
02:00:28.000Do you think that you would ever be into doing something to radically change your health?
02:00:34.000Like, if someone, if you took on, like, someone who told you what to eat, worked you out every day, put you through the paces, got your body into a better shape, better condition, and actually got you to the...
02:00:46.000How the fuck could I get in better shape, Joe?
02:01:31.000When Todd Glass came on the podcast, that was the first time I had talked to him in person since he came out, I guess you're supposed to say.
02:01:40.000And he was so relieved that he could come on the show and be, God, barbecued.
02:01:43.000He was so relieved that we could all do that together and be giggly and silly and he wouldn't have to worry about feeling like he's being attacked or that he was hiding something.
02:01:51.000That's a big thing for those guys, man.
02:01:53.000Or for those girls or anybody who's hiding something like that.
02:04:24.000There's a few things you can tell someone.
02:04:25.000When they want to go over individual bits with you, they basically want you to write their act.
02:04:29.000And that happens to a lot of boyfriends.
02:04:31.000I mean, it's a joke that I've heard used on several different comedians that are female that wind up dating men that are also comedians, and then men start writing their acts.
02:04:40.000I mean, we know guys who have done it.
02:04:49.000But then there's cases like Tom Segura and Christina Pazitsky, where I'm sure they go over bits with each other, but they go over bits as peers.
02:05:06.000That's why I love when something like that happens because people always like to use that thing, that standby cliche that two comedians can never be husband and wife and be happy.
02:05:17.000Two people that are in the same position, the same sort of occupation, they would just wind up fighting each other.
02:05:24.000Tom and Christina get along great, and they're both fucking great.
02:05:29.000You see them together, they're laughing together, and they're always laughing with each other, and they enjoy each other's company, and they're both really good.
02:05:38.000It's so rare when you see something like that.
02:06:58.000But I think one of the reasons why they're so crazy is not just that they came here crazy, but that the process itself is so terrifying and mind-numbing and obsessive.
02:07:07.000Because it's so difficult to get cast in something.
02:07:10.000So difficult when you're competing against thousands of other people on a daily basis for a limited amount of roles.
02:07:18.000And then you finally do get something.
02:07:19.000I think all those years and years and years of rejection.
02:07:22.000I think you can really fuck with people's heads, man.
02:07:26.000It's really bad, especially when they're already a little bit insecure, they're already a little bit nutty, they're maybe possibly a little bit depressed, maybe a little bit chemical, you know?
02:12:33.000What they don't realize is when you go there and you do something like that, they take the money that you use to pay for your trip and that money goes to preserve these animals.
02:12:44.000Then the meat from hunting that animal goes to feed these local villagers.
02:12:51.000They get all this lean—they don't have guns, and so they get all this lean protein free from these hunters, and they get it every day.
02:12:58.000Because every day they're bringing in new hunters, and every day they're harvesting new animals.
02:13:02.000Like, people don't like it because they feel like it should be a direct relationship.
02:13:06.000You should shoot a deer, then you eat the deer or give some of the meat out to your friends or something like that, which I kind of agree with.
02:13:12.000I don't want to be the guy that's going somewhere to kill animals for a bunch of different people.
02:13:16.000But if you did, that's actually a very selfless thing to do.
02:13:20.000He's enjoying the hunting aspect of it, but he's also donating all this meat to poor people.
02:13:28.000Everybody has this black or white thing when it comes to animals.
02:13:31.000Either you love animals and respect them, And you don't shoot them, or you hate animals and you're a fucking evil person, even if you both have the same diet.
02:13:40.000I mean, the idea that someone would want to kill that thing when we know there's only like a few thousand of them left, that's fucking crazy.
02:13:47.000You know, I hope somebody steps in, and I hope...
02:13:50.000I mean, really, that's something that the president should talk about.
02:13:53.000The president should have a fucking joint conference where he talks about SeaWorld and killing black rhinos.
02:13:59.000And just say, what would we do if someone came here from...
02:14:55.000There's been an argument against killing elephants, but there's certain areas of Africa where they have an overpopulation issue with elephants, and they've taken to assassinating elephants.
02:15:06.000It's really freaky because they're bringing in hunters, and there was a TV show on the other night where this guy went to Africa and just snuck up on an elephant and shot it in the fucking head, and it doesn't seem right.
02:16:04.000I don't know if that represents the same intelligence as a small child, but goddammit, it seems like there's something really serious going on behind the scenes there.
02:16:16.000They're able to draw themselves, Dom Herrera.
02:17:01.000What they should do is figure out a way to either...
02:17:04.000Move them to areas where their populations have drastically decreased or find some way to give them some food that makes them less likely to get pregnant.
02:17:15.000I mean, who knows what strategies they could come up with, but shooting them seems really sad to me.
02:17:27.000I mean, that's the argument against killing wolves, is that they're smart and they're very much like dogs and, you know, but that's way smarter than a fucking wolf.
02:18:09.000The relationship that we have between other animals is a very strained one.
02:18:13.000It's very strange how we, because we have some animals that we use for food, and some animals that we decide to use as a resource, and, you know, it's all very cruel.
02:18:25.000I don't understand the rationalization sometimes between what animals you pick to kill to eat.
02:18:30.000In the sense that people are pescatarians.
02:18:33.000What makes them think fish are happy to be on a hook?
02:18:36.000Well, the idea is that fish don't take care of their young.
02:20:15.000We become ultra-complex because we create culture and because we have the ability to manipulate our environment.
02:20:20.000So that's why we categorize dolphins in this weird gray area that allows us to enslave them.
02:20:25.000Because they can't create culture and because they can't manipulate their environment, they don't have fingers, we don't see any evidence of their intelligence.
02:20:32.000But meanwhile, there's tons of scientific evidence of the fact that they can communicate with each other, that they have a language, that they have dialects.
02:20:38.000That they have family communities, that they recognize each other at long distances, that they pool together.
02:20:45.000I mean, it's an intelligent thing that you're enslaving.
02:23:13.000Because if they got a hold of you, like, you might be able to even fight off a bear to the point where the bear decides, like, you're too crazy, fuck it, I'll leave him alone.
02:23:21.000If the bear wasn't hungry, if it's a nutty bear...
02:23:23.000But a chimp is not going to let you win.
02:25:18.000People have been selling, ever since I've been putting up pictures from trail cameras, people have been sending me trail camera photos of mountain lions that they catch in their yards, or mountain lions that they catch near their house.
02:25:30.000A guy sent me one today, from Florida, of these two fucking muscular Florida panthers.
02:27:14.000At the top of his lungs, all of his clothes are off, and he's banging the werewolf from behind.
02:27:19.000It would have been a little bit better if he had a little bit more of an angle so we could actually see his ass cheeks, so we know he's really, really naked.
02:27:35.000So, yeah, we're going to let other people do it, too.
02:27:38.000So, you know, all of our friends who do podcasts, I know Tommy wanted to use it at one point in time, and Duncan's going to use it, like, whenever they need to do shit with cameras and what have you.
02:27:46.000I think it makes this place more the merrier.
02:27:49.000I feel like the more good conversations we have in this place, I feel like it soaks into the walls.
02:32:35.000If there isn't a fake Dom Irera, they already put it together.
