00:04:26.000It's an awesome company with great ethics behind it and nothing but positive feedback from all of the customers.
00:04:33.000Everybody that's used Ting that I've referred to has said they've saved money, they really enjoy the service, they enjoy the company, and it's a good relationship.
00:04:41.000They like the relationship that they get.
00:04:44.000When a company feels like they're giving you a good deal, it feels good to be involved with them.
00:06:57.000What a week all the people online that love to bitch and piss and moan and complain and get very excited when something fucked up goes down.
00:07:07.000If you're listening to this, if it's sometime in the future, because these We're good to go.
00:07:26.000He was downtown in New York, taking some photographs, and from there on, it's a bunch of what he says, and I'm sure the woman who beat the shit out of him would have a different story, but he was taking some photographs.
00:07:40.000One of the photographs was of this, what are those things called?
00:08:05.000And he went on Twitter and went on this rant about violence, about the black community and their propensity for violence, about this woman calling her an animal, which she did.
00:08:17.000And Sirius fired him, which left a fucking huge hole in my entertainment world.
00:08:24.000The Opie and Anthony show is my all-time favorite radio show.
00:09:52.000So he's putting his hand up, and you know, I know Ant well enough to know he's not going to just punch a woman in the face.
00:09:57.000So she's doing that, and I think a few black guys came around, and they didn't do anything to Ant, but they were like, you know, don't touch her.
00:10:03.000So, you know, Ann, who is always armed and he's licensed to carry, didn't hit her.
00:10:08.000He didn't pull out his pistol and went home and I guess was really upset and went out on, like you said, a Twitter rampage.
00:10:18.000And I knew it was bad the next morning when I saw it because my ex-girlfriend called me and she's like, what happened with Anthony?
00:10:41.000Yeah, the thing about Ant is he's developed this sort of style of communicating on the show, where he goes on these long, hilarious, entertaining, profanity-filled rants.
00:10:57.000And there's one thing about hearing it, but there's another thing of seeing it in a text form.
00:11:06.000It looks – things don't look good in print, certain things.
00:11:09.000And I think what happened was is in the middle of – like when you have a contextual conversation, it's like you have people, there's inflection, there's another guy next to you going, well, hey, what do you mean by that?
00:11:19.000And then you're clarifying it or – it's just – it's a different – When you're tweeting and you're that mad...
00:11:25.000Any type of an assault, even if it's a woman hitting you and it's not life-threatening, is still like an hour later.
00:11:32.000You're like, what the fuck just happened?
00:11:43.000And so he went on, and when I looked at the flow of things, like, I know Anthony, and I know what he's saying.
00:11:49.000He was not calling all black people animals.
00:11:51.000He wasn't, because he's never said that.
00:11:52.000He's talking about a behavior of this woman, and I think that what happened was he was so mad, and when you're tweeting that aggressively, and you're just, you're fucking dealing with this in your head, that sometimes things come out jumbled and muddied, and, like, if you know Anthony, you know what he's saying.
00:12:06.000People who don't know him are reading this going, what does he mean he's saying that there's violence in black people and their animal, like...
00:12:12.000People are putting these pieces of a puzzle together and they're making a picture and it was like – I know him well enough to know that in a conversation, If someone said, are you trying to say black people are animals?
00:12:28.000Because he said that about white people, too.
00:12:31.000So, I mean, it was just one of those things where once it was in print, even in context, we lie as a country.
00:12:36.000Like, you know, like when Council Colbert came out, the activist knew the context that he was making those Asian jokes in and didn't give a fuck.
00:12:46.000He was trying to, you know, show the difference between the same thing between this and Native Americans and how ridiculous it is, but I don't care.
00:12:51.000We've gotten to a point now where we don't even pretend to not understand the context anymore.
00:12:55.000We admit that we understand the context and we go after people anyway.
00:12:59.000Something like this is bound to sink you because it can be taken both ways unless you actually sit there and talk to the guy.
00:13:08.000Each tweet has to come out like a film.
00:13:10.000Each tweet has to be a beginning, middle, and end with no explanation needed around it in order to To be survivable, if that makes sense.
00:13:20.000Well, you know what the big key to what you said?
00:14:25.000You can go on some cunt rampage, that fucking animal cunt, and no one, you know, people might say, I'm not downloading your podcast anymore.
00:14:33.000But at least you have the opportunity to communicate, to explain yourself, and if the people decide that they don't like your character based on one thing that you said or one rant that you went on, that is their decision.
00:14:45.000But it's not the decision of a company.
00:14:47.000And when things get, you know, companies are squirrely, man.
00:14:50.000They have fucking shareholders and stocks and they have responsibilities.
00:14:54.000And all you need is a few slacktivists that start webpages.
00:14:59.000And, you know, fire Anthony and Anthony Kumi.
00:15:40.000She was talking about Anthony saying that these guys came around, and she was saying like, you know, oh, well, I guess if a bunch of African-American, or however she said, a bunch of gentlemen want to defend someone from defaming an African-American woman, it's okay.
00:16:22.000And they probably weren't even that familiar with it until they're getting calls from the paper and they're like, what do we do with this?
00:16:27.000And then this is what the press does and this is why you gotta hate it.
00:16:30.000Because I think Sirius was gonna try to write it out.
00:16:32.000That's my opinion because they knew a holiday weekend was coming and this is purely a guess because no one was saying anything.
00:16:39.000And then all of a sudden the press starts going, we have not had a comment from Sirius Satellite Radio, so we're assuming that they agree with Mr. Koumiya's opinions.
00:16:46.000They do this sneaky shit to push you into defending yourself.
00:16:50.000So now the company with shareholders, like you said, has to go, well, how do we tell people that we don't agree?
00:16:56.000It's not like the press made them do it, but the press understands how to corner you into giving a statement, a definitive statement, because they know that you're not used to this.
00:17:07.000They know that these guys coming to work in management positions are not used to getting phone calls going, how do you feel about this statement and that statement?
00:18:03.000There's a lot of problems with poverty.
00:18:05.000There's a lot of problems with the structure of our culture itself.
00:18:08.000And that you could attribute a lot of those problems to racism, to racism in the way that funds are allocated, the way that, you know, the attention that society puts on impoverished communities.
00:19:08.000Because Anthony is so good at clarifying.
00:19:11.000Whenever you talk about race, or a million other things, whether it's religion, It's so hard to make your point without stepping in shit and then having to go off on 50 digressions.
00:19:23.000Like, no, no, that's not what I meant.
00:19:58.000He never was upset by Anthony's opinions.
00:20:01.000Because Anthony would listen to him and they would go back and forth.
00:20:04.000Half the time, Patrice was right and half the time, Anthony was right.
00:20:07.000But on Twitter, I think in that emotion, when you're saying X, Y, and Z, I don't think he did as good a job as he should have done of closing those doors behind him.
00:20:18.000Almost like sealing off things that people can get to you on because he was so upset because he had a physical assault.
00:20:25.000And I know it sounds like I'm talking in circles and just defending my friend, but I've been with him for 10 years in this medium of totally uncensored.
00:20:33.000And I'm telling you, I know him well enough to know that he's like, he's got weird things where he'll talk about race and people misinterpret him, and I've talked to him privately, and the guy does not hate black people, and I know that that's just all his friends defending him, but I'm telling you that he does not, because I know him well.
00:20:48.000And then to hear people going, he hates black people, it's like...
00:20:51.000He's just not afraid of being misconstrued or interpreted as racist.
00:24:25.000There's a lot of them that have a liberal slant.
00:24:28.000And if you are reporting for them, you know, and it's something like this that's very controversial and something where there's a bunch of things that automatically have like a knee-jerk reaction to them.
00:25:43.000The news has such a different level of what they can get away with and what they can do because they're seen as doing a public service.
00:25:49.000In my opinion, though, I think they lost it because everybody was hating that guy and they just didn't want him to win something on top of this.
00:25:55.000The fact that he still has his freedom, the kid lost his life.
00:25:58.000I think he's a sucky fucking security guard.
00:26:57.000He's out of shape, he's soft and doughy, and he's not physically able to hold that guy off, but yet he's put himself in this position where he's like a security.
00:27:06.000He's the force of the truth of the law.
00:29:22.000But I wish I was there so I could just appear on the seat next to him like in that Woody Allen scene when the guy walks out to correct the guy online and go, no, the intent is everything.
00:29:30.000Because if the words matter, the next time somebody said the fucking Giants killed the Jets, well, we better call the police.
00:30:11.000I'm going to stab my son because he's gay as a statement of fact or at the end of a political rally is a pretty awful thing to say.
00:30:19.000But if you've opened up with, I'm going to get you pregnant and I'm going to mold shit and make a hat out of it, it's kind of hard to take any one statement and go, well, that's the serious one.
00:30:28.000But that's, again, that's that purposely ignoring context or even when you can't ignore it, saying, yeah, we understand the context and we don't fucking care.
00:30:42.000I'm not saying boo-hoo Anthony, but let's pay attention to what's really going on.
00:30:45.000If you're writing an article out of the blue for no reason about Jim Norton, you're the only guy, I think Jim Norton is a despicable person, and you write this article, you have the option to respond to that.
00:30:56.000And you can go, well, who are you, Mr. Reporter Dickwad?
00:30:59.000Let's take a look at you, and then other people can take a look at him, too.
00:31:03.000But when everybody's piling on, it's a free-for-all.
00:31:07.000And then you're there flailing wildly.
00:31:09.000Louis C.K. actually raised a really good point about that.
00:31:12.000When something was happening, he goes, you know, you have to remember, too, everybody's not Googling you.
00:31:16.000Everyone is not Googling Joe Rogan or Jim Norton or Anthony Cumia.
00:31:19.000So you're seeing every result about yourself and it appears overwhelming.
00:31:24.000But the reality is people may be reading Newsday or The Post or The Gawker or Vice or whatever they're reading, but they're not reading every single article on Anthony Cumia or on Jim Norton.
00:31:36.000So that's where the overwhelming thing is sometimes misleading because people are all reading little snippets of it.
00:31:43.000But when the company's getting calls from, again, five or six different outlets, to them it feels overwhelming.
00:31:48.000And like, what the fuck do we do with this?
00:33:19.000I have three more months under contract.
00:33:21.000And Obi tried to clear this up on the air.
00:33:22.000Like, if we just walk out, if they don't fire us and we just walk, and say a bunch more subs leave because they realize, like, wow, the show really is gone.
00:33:30.000Then all of a sudden Sirius wants to take action on us for breach.
00:33:33.000It's a whole fucking legal – people just don't get that part of it and they think that we're fucking Anthony.
00:33:38.000You know who doesn't think we're fucking Anthony?
00:35:27.000That's what people are realizing about the internet.
00:35:29.000I remember when Lars Ehrlich got all upset at Metallica fans for downloading his shit and it created this huge shitstorm where everybody was like, dude, don't you have enough fucking money?
00:35:40.000You're worried about people downloading your shit?
00:35:42.000More people are going to come see you in concert.
00:35:44.000And that's what it really has turned out to be for all musical artists.
00:35:48.000Yeah, you're not selling as many records, but you're gonna get more fans, and there's more people gonna see you in concert, and guess what?
00:36:13.000I mean the business, not the artists, but the fucking guys behind the scenes.
00:36:17.000They've been raping artists for years, fucking taking all their money.
00:36:20.000But had it not, because I think iTunes was born of the idea of Napster falling through.
00:36:25.000So it's like, I kind of like it, because now I can go buy a song or two songs.
00:36:29.000Like, I'm not going to download a whole fucking Nicki Minaj album, but there's one song, looking ass nigga is the fucking greatest song ever done.
00:36:38.000It's the fucking greatest thing ever done.
00:36:41.000I don't want to buy the whole album, but that fucking video is sexy.
00:38:45.000It's a very frustrating process because you realize the legal process is not free.
00:38:51.000Even if you think you're in the right, But in a way, it saved me, I think, in the long run, that experience, because now I have it for everything I do.
00:38:59.000My books, DVDs, CDs, I get everything vetted, and I have like $3 million worth of insurance, which is probably a panicky overkill on my part, but I do that because...
00:39:11.000You want to protect yourself even from a...
00:39:18.000I don't know who's going to come after me.
00:39:20.000Somebody may hear something and it may cause them to bang their fucking head into the wall and then say, I caused an autistic reaction or I caused a fucking...
00:39:27.000What was the one Al Roker made fun of?
00:41:02.000And any one of those people could just go to human resources and say, this is a hostile work environment because of something – because people are like, why can't we look at a girl's ass in the hallway?
00:41:12.000Pinch your ass like it's 1950. And then when they sue the company – The company's like, what the fuck?
00:41:18.000We got to pay to defend this because you couldn't keep your hands off her?
00:41:21.000So as much as companies can drive me nuts sometimes, all of these protective barriers that have been put in place have been because citizens have filed lawsuits, some that were very legitimate, like sexual harassment.
00:41:33.000Guys are kind of pieces of shit with that.
00:41:35.000That was probably a bad example because most guys, you know...
00:41:38.000Women tell me horror stories about what they've got to deal with at work.
00:41:58.000There's real scenarios where people are getting sexually harassed, and that is uber fucked up.
00:42:03.000You know, could you imagine being a chick in an office and some guy you don't want to have anything to do with consistently hits on you and tells dirty jokes and fucks with you and asks you if you're gaining weight, if you ignore them?
00:42:19.000I couldn't imagine being a heterosexual woman having to deal with men who want to fuck me.
00:42:24.000Or just the energy, like the things that you can't prove in court, but the energy of the guy who wants to fuck you comes over with his dumb dick up against the fucking top of your desk.
00:43:06.000Yeah, but it's also like that's the social environment of the office.
00:43:10.000There's always going to be weirdness in the office.
00:43:13.000And then if you have those fucking office parties where people get a little liquored up and it all comes out, you start dancing and shit and a little nuttiness.
00:43:23.000Next thing you know, people are getting fucking sued.
00:43:25.000Yeah, you're dropping someone off and you wind up jerking off in front of her in the car and she goes in and feels dirty because it happened.
00:44:01.000Because A, the most of them are 21 and 22. I don't want one of them misinterpreting something and going to human resources and going, this 45-year-old piece of garbage is hitting on me, and then I'm going to sue you.
00:44:12.000And then the company's like, we're going to get sued.
00:44:14.000Because companies have lost a lot of money with that.
00:44:17.000They've lost, in legit cases, but they don't want to take a chance.
00:44:21.000So then they're going to fucking look at me and go, one more time, whatever.
00:44:25.000Another aspect of this crazy litigious society that we live in is patent trolls.
00:44:29.000That's the thing that Adam Carolla is going through right now, and we're all a part of it, and we're trying to help him raise money for his legal funds.
00:44:36.000It's going to cost him a million dollars, a million dollars to defend against this patent troll.
00:44:43.000And they already had a hearing, and during the hearing, or they had whatever it is, when they meet down and they discuss The merits of the case.
00:44:51.000The case is essentially thought to be frivolous, but they're still going forward with it.
00:44:59.000So either I guess what they will do is go for...
00:45:01.000My guess will be the next step, or they can go for summary judgment, maybe where they process all the facts and they say, should we go into depositions or whatever?
00:45:11.000And again, it might be different in this kind of case, but there's a lot of...
00:45:15.000That's a patent troll-friendly area where they're from.
00:45:19.000Which is why I think that a lot of these people set up offices in that part of Texas.
00:45:23.000But fucking the Supreme Court just shot down...
00:45:27.000Saying something that you can't patent ID... Like you can patent...
00:45:30.000A method of delivering an idea, but you can't patent the idea of just episodic things on the internet or whatever it was that they said you can't do.
00:45:58.000They have been running at $100,000 a month.
00:46:02.000$100,000 a month for the last three months in legal bills.
00:46:05.000So they're now at a deficit of $20,000.
00:46:08.000Personal audio has shown no signs of backing down from their litigation posture despite a discovery process that has revealed a completely weak connection to be drawn between their purported patent apparatus and the dissemination of media files that we do as podcasters.
00:46:24.000So what they're hoping for Is that Adam somehow or another taps out, and if he does, then they try to hit everybody who podcast with, you know, hey, give us $20 a month or whatever the fuck it is.
00:46:35.000So they're going to have to raise another $500,000 to $750,000 to continue with the litigation.
00:46:46.000And the only thing is, and I don't know what it's like in Texas.
00:46:48.000I know in New York it's hard to get, but everyone thinks like, well, hey, man, I'll just try to get them to make them pay for my legal fees.
00:46:56.000That doesn't always happen, and judges don't like to do that.
00:47:00.000They don't like to give a, I forget what it's called, but it's when you make the suing attorney.
00:47:07.000Where the plaintiff pay the defendant's legal fees.
00:47:11.000It has to be proven to be such a frivolous thing.
00:48:22.000And in London, in England, in London, in fucking England, I think they're much more likely to, because a lot of people are less likely to sue for something that they might be frivolous.
00:48:30.000Although you may not be able to recover on a frivolous lawsuit because there may be legal merits to this lawsuit even if they lose.
00:48:37.000What are the personal audio they're called?
00:48:39.000It may not be a frivolous suit like in the legal system's eyes.
00:48:42.000The legal system may see this as a legit suit that they win or lose as opposed to a frivolous one.
00:48:47.000So Adam may not be able to get his money back even if he wins.
00:50:21.000I mean, the only thing that we have at Death Squad is just buying t-shirts, which I've been trying to keep as separate as possible from, you know...
00:51:12.000And he gave it to me to check out, and I ordered one from Roots, and then I contacted Roots, and I had them design mine with the Higher Primate logo on it.
00:54:29.000But that's just creating an issue for no reason.
00:54:31.000I saw a man and another man get in a mild dispute about something, and this woman, who was the flight attendant, treated both of them like they were fucking children, and just rode it into the ground, didn't let it go, brought out the pilot, made the pilot talk to both men.
00:55:50.000You're creating something out of nothing.
00:55:52.000But she kept harping on it and pestering.
00:55:55.000You know how there's some people that if they get in an argument about something, like whatever it is, if there's something that winds them up, even if it's minor, they will beat it into the ground until it becomes major.
00:56:06.000They'll just ride you, ride you, ride you until you're like, can you shut the fuck up?
00:56:10.000It's almost like she was trying to get these guys to blow up so she could justify...
00:56:15.000Her whatever internal strife, her internal anger that she was projecting onto the situation.
00:56:37.000Because in my story, she's just a fucking measly cunt.
00:56:40.000In my story, she was fucking on her way to get some giant dick, and she didn't want either one of these fucking petty zilches to interfere.
00:57:24.000And people are still allowed to carry a lot of fucking dangerous shit on planes.
00:57:27.000They took away pool cues, and they took away knives and a few things, and they were going to bring back pocket knives and pool cues, but then they changed it.
00:57:57.000Or close it while it's still on, because they always heat up and then say to somebody, hold this, and they're like, ah, and scar their arms.
00:58:02.000That's like a really passive way to beat somebody up.
00:58:05.000Yeah, especially if you rub the bottom of it and get it all friction-y.
00:58:20.000We've seen too many videos of guys yelling and screaming or that one fucking...
00:58:25.000Bipolar cunt, wherever they're from, trying to open the door.
00:58:28.000I'll tell you a big part of it, and we've seen so much more in the last 20-something years because there's no more smoking on planes.
00:58:33.000And I'm glad, but I think a lot of what you see in rageful situations is people jonesing for cigarettes because there were times where I couldn't have a cigarette Best thing I ever did was quit smoking in 2001. But when I'd be on a flight, if we were going, when I was opening for Dice, if we were going to Dallas and say there was an hour delay,
01:08:23.000But then I'm like, Colin Quinn a long time ago reminded me, many, many years, when I first started going to an opiate athlete, I was dating a British girl.
01:12:07.000And, you know, the UFC sent out a memo, or they told us, I forget what it was, was it official or non-official, a few years back, two people got sued for taking photos with people where they were choking them in the picture as a joke.
01:12:20.000Matt Hughes got sued, and Chuck Liddell got sued.
01:12:23.000Both frivolous lawsuits where a guy, I get it all the time, guys either say, can I choke you out in a picture?
01:12:30.000Which I say no, and then they say, well, can you choke me out in a picture?
01:12:34.000Like, one of those two always comes up.
01:12:37.000Yeah, but that to me, what a piece of shit move that is.
01:13:31.000He enjoyed it, because he punched me hard, and then he was choking me, and I was like, alright, alright, tap, tap, tap, and he did it again, and he smiled, and he did it again.
01:16:19.000I couldn't believe I reacted that way like my system was like you know that light-headed tingly feeling you get like I'm gonna vomit I'm gonna vomit and then I was like I'm gonna pass out I had to go to the bathroom put water on my face like a fucking like an old lady but that's a that's a really painful technique yes it certainly is it doesn't it's a weird thing because those guys they're so used to fighting off of pain and dealing with the pain and the adrenaline of the fight that a lot of people underestimate the impact of leg kicks I've learned,
01:16:45.000like, you know, everyone knows UFC hurts and mixed martial arts is painful.
01:16:48.000But after doing that, I've been like, it makes you watch the sport differently.
01:17:04.000After experiencing that, I'm like, the fact the guy can stand there and still fight after having his leg kicked like that, it never ceases to amaze me if they don't immediately collapse and just go home.
01:17:13.000Well, they don't feel it as much because of the adrenaline of the fight, but it is unbelievably painful, even with the adrenaline.
01:17:19.000And then after it's over, like, did you ever see the Uriah Faber fight?
01:18:24.000Because the impact that makes your head bounce around...
01:18:27.000Your brain sloshes around inside your skull, and you get a concussion from that.
01:18:31.000So you don't even have to get hit in the head to get a concussion.
01:18:34.000Yeah, it's every one of those moves hurt a lot, and when you feel the grip that a guy like that puts on you, like a cane is a fucking monster, but anyone who puts a grip on you, it is simply...
01:18:59.000Maybe the older you get, the more aware you are that bad shit can happen, but it makes you very cautious in life.
01:19:05.000Like, these are the guys that are walking around and, like, You try not to start confrontations with people for no reason because you don't know who has a pistol.
01:19:12.000That woman who assaulted Anthony had no idea that he's a guy with a gun.
01:19:16.000And lucky for her, he's not a maniac with a gun.
01:21:33.000Sometimes you do, it depends on how many fucking awful teenagers are coming in, but sometimes it'd be three or four.
01:21:39.000A night you could make an extra $300, or sometimes just one.
01:21:43.000One of the most painful prom shows ever is I did Caroline's years ago, and I did a prom set, and Willie, Tyler, and Lester were on the show.
01:21:52.000And, you know, I knew them from, you know, Solid Gold, whatever shows.
01:26:57.000Because I'm more creative when I do that because I know if I want to improv on something, I will because I'm taping it so I know I'll have it.
01:27:34.000Have you seen that fucking new revelation that came out today that Edward Snowden was saying that they were passing, the NSA guys were passing back and forth naked photographs that they got through searches?
01:27:44.000They would also do searches on their ex-girlfriends because they had access.
01:29:00.000A collection of hacking tools, some of which are specifically suited for spreading disinformation, were exposed in a leaked 2012 document provided by Snowden to The Intercept.
01:29:09.000This is an online publication led by Glenn Greenwald, the journalist, blah, [...
01:29:15.000So, I mean, they underpass a tool that lets government...
01:29:36.000Amplification of a given message, normally video on a popular multimedia website, gateway, which will artificially increase traffic to a website, slipstream, which will infiltrate page views on a website.
01:29:49.000So what they could do is they could put up a website, make that website look super popular, make it look like it's gone viral.
01:29:54.000There's something that Alex is not explaining there, if that's where that's from.
01:30:30.000Certain sites are made to look more popular that the government is running and then the people that come to them who are actually involved in that type of shit, you now see who's coming to these sites and then where they're going and you develop relationships with these people and you get to know them that way.
01:30:45.000It's not always just about… A lot of it is stuff that we'll never find out about.
01:30:53.000Just in that little moment, it made me see something that I hadn't considered.
01:30:57.000I'm sure they're doing dirty shit with it too, like those photos.
01:31:01.000And again, I know the government's propaganda-driven, but there's also legit uses for it.
01:31:06.000That I think might have been compromised.
01:31:08.000There's definitely legit uses for it, but what Snowden's point was that you're having these 18 to 22-year-old kids, and you're giving them this massive amount of responsibility, and that it's just not cool, and there's very little oversight.
01:31:20.000He's like, it's very little oversight in these offices.
01:31:23.000Yeah, I mean, what was Baker's, what was his argument against Snowden, what Snowden did?
01:31:28.000I've only seen, he's on Red Eye a lot, and he hates him, so I only saw a little piece of it on the episode we did together, but Mike's a really logical, you'd love him.
01:31:38.000Like, he's a great talker, he's funny, he's like, he's not some, you know, he's not some...
01:31:49.000I would love to hear what the argument against Snowden is.
01:31:52.000Because in my opinion, what he was doing was something...
01:31:54.000What he released was information that let the American people know that the government was doing something that's unconstitutional.
01:32:03.000And they were doing it, and they were doing it like they had the right to do it.
01:32:06.000And they're going to continue to have the right to do it.
01:32:08.000And if they catch him, they're going to lock him in jail.
01:32:11.000For exposing, in a way, everything that Obama said when he was running for office.
01:32:16.000He said that they were going to have greater protection of whistleblowers, anybody that was showing that they were doing something, that someone was doing something that was illegal, he was going to protect them.
01:32:26.000Meanwhile, they had to delete that off of his website because they kept it up until like a year and a half ago.
01:32:32.000And then finally, you know, people started pointing it out when all the Snowden shit was going down, the Hope and Change website, and they finally redacted it all.
01:32:39.000Yeah, it's a very weird – because I agree with you.
01:32:41.000I think that what he did to a certain degree is really good.
01:32:44.000I don't want the government having that ability.
01:32:46.000My point of view on it is I'm so disgusted with the public and I'm so disgusted with what voyeurs we are and how we refuse to acknowledge that and how we sit there and judge people.
01:32:59.000But the way everyone sits there and fucking self-righteously judges this guy, and I love the fact that he's a fucking miserable, parrot-voiced 81-year-old who now wants to fucking hire private investigators to go after every NBA owner and uncover shit.
01:33:14.000It's like none of them stood tall and said, look, this guy's a piece of garbage, but you know what?
01:33:18.000I've said a lot of ugly things in my private life, too.
01:34:12.000And even if he was being a creepy racist, even if he was, the fact that it was in private, and they got the, I think in California, there's only two states, one party notification states.
01:34:23.000I'm thinking they're New York and Vegas.
01:34:27.000And I think that the fact that it was illegally obtained information.
01:34:31.000And again, I think the guy, Abdul Jabbar wrote a fucking genius article on why this guy should have been gone after before for a lot of the housing discrimination stuff, but not for this.
01:34:42.000And no one gave a fuck when it was that, but now that it's language, they're going after him.
01:34:45.000Yeah, and then they're using the housing discrimination stuff to justify.
01:35:02.000And not one of these owners has a clean fucking backyard.
01:35:06.000Maybe they haven't said racist stuff, but a lot of them have probably fucked around on their wives.
01:35:10.000A lot of them have probably said sexist stuff.
01:35:12.000So I love the fact that Sterling's going to hire...
01:35:16.000But this is how dirty it gets when people aren't honest about our own ugliness.
01:35:20.000And that's why when a guy like Snowden does what he does, it's like, the NSA, yeah, they're shitty, but fuck the public.
01:35:30.000Because the public didn't stand up in the fucking defense of privacy when it was Donald Sterling.
01:35:36.000We only care about it when it's ourselves.
01:35:38.000And if we were a public that would never have tolerated that from the government, they wouldn't do it.
01:35:43.000Or they would do it and be terrified to do it knowing that we were going to revolt.
01:35:47.000But they know that we'll just take it because we're nosy cunts and we don't really bother.
01:35:51.000We like invading people's privacy and Tiger Woods' text messages.
01:35:55.000Ooh, we can't get enough of Mel Gibson's voicemails.
01:35:58.000We're fucking scumbags just sitting home wringing our hands.
01:36:01.000Have you ever heard what sociologists say about that when it comes to gossip and things along those lines?
01:36:06.000They believe that we no longer have communities like we used to have when we were tribal organizations, when we were groups of 50 to 150, 200 people, small groups.
01:36:16.000And then we used to know each other's business because we had to be aware.
01:36:19.000We had to know who was a good guy, who was a bad guy.
01:38:49.000Is there anything worse than when people will come up to you and go like, oh, and I love this comedian, and you're like, I want to just bite your fucking nose off.
01:38:54.000You were so funny, but you know what my favorite is?
01:38:57.000And you go, oh, you just ruined everything.
01:39:00.000Or my favorite joke of yours, and they'll name a joke that you're like, oh, Christ, that was the fucking joke I should have my throat slit for.
01:39:53.000I've looked at it in fear for fucking 20 years.
01:39:56.000It's oddly humiliating and exposing when you see that stuff.
01:40:00.000Like, I wonder if other performers look at their old shit.
01:40:03.000Like, we did a thing on ONA where we, I'm sure you maybe heard some of it, where we brought in our old tapes and got killed for it.
01:40:09.000This is back on IDW. And I brought in a tape of me from 1993 where I had like 20 minutes of material and I was a fucking please-love-me, happy-go-lucky, high-energy fraud.
01:44:53.000Mike Goldberg drinks a lot of those Red Bulls, and when we work together, that guy gets up and pisses like six, seven times during a broadcast.
01:44:59.000I've wondered how you guys do that, by the way.
01:45:01.000How do you not just jump up and piss every two minutes?
01:45:02.000But I guess I never noticed that he did.
01:45:35.000Yeah, I don't know what it is, man, but those monster energy drinks, whatever it is in those, taurine or whatever the fuck, the caffeinated aspect of them.
01:45:45.000I've always had a good bladder, I guess.
01:48:20.000I was dating this chick, and her roommate had sex with her boyfriend, and he fucked her in the ass, and her sphincter must have relaxed, and she shit on him while they were sleeping.
01:49:21.000This is not a subject I'm really into, but there is a woman, this German woman, who does shit porn, where people shit on her, and she's like the queen of shit porn.
01:51:03.000Well, the funny thing is, too, that when you think, like, the fact that she smokes on top of it, like, if there's anything that can make your breath worse than fucking eating some fucking Nazi's logs and fucking having a cigarette afterwards.
01:52:08.000It was a video, and a buddy had it, and we went over to his house and watched it, and, like, one of us had to watch the door, because it was in the basement.
01:52:18.000Like, one person had to watch the door to let us know if anybody was coming, and then we were standing in front of this VCR, this TV with a VCR attached to it, watching this really grainy video of this chick, like, you know, very mild.
01:52:53.000I saw some hardcore porn pictures, the dirty movie, but if you're seeing a beheading video or legitimate car crash stuff where hardcore fucking is just the normalist thing you're going to see online.
01:53:06.000I think that's why maybe school shooting, I'm not blaming video games, but people do become a certain desensitized to things.
01:53:14.000I probably sound like I'm criticizing every message I've ever given, but I do think that that has something to do with desensitizing you.
01:53:22.000You can't say that that's the cause for someone doing something horrible and violent, but you see so much violence and it becomes an option.
01:53:33.000If you didn't know what a gun was, you didn't know what a school shooting was, if it didn't exist, if it wasn't on the table, it wouldn't be something that people considered.
01:53:41.000But because of the fact we have guns, we know about guns, because of the fact that we know about school shootings, people think, you know what?
01:54:18.000Because Alonzo, whatever the fuck his name was, his mother had the gun around the house, you know.
01:54:21.000So even if you're not the crazy person, even if your kid is the fucking wide-eyed, you know, me, me, me shitbag that he was, the fucking, I hate the pupil in the middle of the eye with white all around it.
01:54:34.000I know some people get mad at me, that's the real condition.
01:55:52.000You can't say it's the 100% of the cause, but when 90% of all the people that are school shooters are on antidepressants or are coming off of antidepressants, suffering withdrawal of antidepressants, at what point in time do they start looking at these chemicals that radically alter the way people react to stress,
01:56:10.000the way people react to life itself, the way people react to negative influences?
01:56:15.000I had a friend that was on Zoloft, and she said that when she was on it, she didn't care about anything.
01:56:21.000Like, she was gonna write a book called, I Lost a Year of My Life, about being on Zoloft.
01:56:25.000Because for a year, nothing bothered her.
01:56:45.000Having a lot of extra energy and anxiety that people can misinterpret that as like, oh, we gotta medicate this kid to make him quote-unquote normal.
02:01:21.000It comes out the 23rd and there's going to be one a week for four weeks and hopefully people like the different shows and You know, the monologues, I'm allowed to kind of say what I want to say.
02:01:30.000They didn't creatively fuck with me at all.
02:01:46.000He was texting me, trying to get me to go to Africa with him.
02:01:48.000I was like, bitch, are you out of your fucking mind?
02:01:50.000He wants me to go to some new island, some island, rather, that they have where they've taken all these monkeys and apes that they experimented with and shot up with diseases and AIDS and all this stuff, and they've dropped them off when they're done with their experiment, and they bring them to some island.
02:02:06.000So there's an island, like a Planet of the Apes island, that's filled with all these monkeys and apes that have gone through all these medical experiments.
02:02:13.000And he wanted me to go there with him.
02:02:15.000I'm like, bitch, that is the last place I'm going, man!
02:02:18.000If you want me to go to the Bahamas and drink Mai Tais with Anthony Bourdain, I'm in.
02:02:24.000I'm not going to an AIDS-infected monkey island.
02:02:27.000Yeah, how about Shane invites you to somewhere fun?
02:05:21.000And it's like, you know how you're married to your stuffed man when you're performing or whatever, and it's like, there's people that can just see things, like, detach from the emotion of it, and go clearly, like, no, no, this is the way to start.
02:05:32.000Like, I was wrong about that, and he was right.
02:05:33.000And it's like, it's really hard for me to think in those terms, that I don't know what the fuck I'm always talking about.
02:05:38.000It's hard, too, when you're going over your material, when you're editing a special, you lose the idea of what's funny and what's not funny.
02:05:45.000You see the bits too many times, and they get really blurry sometimes.
02:05:53.000We had to edit the interview with Dana and Mike, and I loved all of it because it was honest and funny and free-flowing, and Tyson was hilarious, and Dana was fucking great.
02:06:03.000And it was like we had to chop it just because I went 40 minutes over.
02:06:34.000And then we're doing that, and we're talking about something, but we were talking about, I had to take this pick up and put it in the middle.
02:06:40.000Just a couple of minor things, but I got so fucking territorial about stuff, you don't want to cut any of it.
02:07:17.000So if I'm going long, I should have said, alright, it's about X amount of time, we'll be right back, or go to the next, whatever the fuck I should have said, and then done it that way, but I just didn't know to do that, so...
02:08:02.000The thing that they do is they release videos.
02:08:05.000They know what gets the views, the part ones, the part twos.
02:08:08.000They tried explaining it to me, how it works as a business model.
02:08:12.000And, you know, I'm looking at it from like, like you just said, I want to have the conversation.
02:08:16.000And they were like, things don't normally go because my set's very plain.
02:08:21.000I like the Dick Cavett, Mike Douglas, like those fucking guys.
02:08:24.000So I did it because, you know, they're not going to just, I should have just said, hey, look, we'll be right back or maybe done it in post.
02:08:31.000But I just didn't think to do that at the moment.
02:08:33.000They're like, we just got to get a couple of pickups.
02:08:37.000Maybe I could have said to him, now do it in post, and he might have been fine with it, but again, it was such a learning, and I hate to say it because he sounded like such a douche, but they gave me so much ability to do what I want.
02:08:49.000Without fucking with me that I might have, you know, made a couple of like, oh, yeah, I should have done this instead of that.
02:09:48.000I want to have my own thing too because you feel like a more complete performer when you're not always with Opie and Anthony or Colin Quinn or Louis CK or Amy Schumer's put me on her show.
02:09:57.000I don't always want to be on somebody else's thing.
02:10:41.000And it's really hard to get used to that empty seat, whether he's saying something funny, or whether he's just doing a stupid E-rock joke, or a little aside, or just...
02:10:50.000It's like this whole fucking vacuum of this great, powerful brain that used to be, you know, a foot away from me.
02:11:37.000It's a joke I've done, but I meant the sincerity of it that if I was on 9-11, if I made it out of the first tower, I would lose people halfway through the story.
02:11:47.000I just have no ability to go from the beginning to the middle to the end and keep people locked in.
02:11:53.000Did you guys have a meeting with Sirius after this?
02:13:30.000He did a thing recently, or years ago, that I heard two days ago, where we were talking about people who have shot themselves in the head and survived.
02:13:38.000And Anthony did the voice of the guy who survived.
02:14:13.000I think they made a big mistake for a couple reasons.
02:14:16.000One, I think they made a big mistake because I think it's going to open the door more to the internet because people are going to look at that as the last remaining true free speech option.
02:14:48.000This is the only real option, where you're your own producer, your own director, you're the whole thing.
02:14:55.000You're the performer, you're the whole thing.
02:14:58.000That's where it's at, because just like a stand-up is entirely responsible for your act you put on stage, If you had some producer hovering over your fucking shoulder every time you wrote a bit, every time you were thinking about putting together a set list, every time you were going up and doing a show,
02:15:13.000they would review it afterwards, that would be gross.
02:15:16.000They would take all the fun out of being a comic.
02:15:28.000Think about you and you as a successful performer and personality.
02:15:32.000Who the fuck would have ever thought you could have made a mainstream career out of talking about your love of trannies, talking about...
02:15:40.000Shit and piss and shitting in each other's mouths and peeing on people, monster rain.
02:15:46.000Just look at the honest things that you've tackled because you're honest, because you're funny.
02:15:51.000If you had to vet that through somebody else, if you had to have that filter through some sort of a mainstream producer, it would have never happened.
02:16:04.000The internet is the last place We're at least, I mean, for now, who the fuck knows what happens with that?
02:16:10.000But all that stuff you did, you did on Sirius.
02:16:12.000Sirius had a different approach when they first came out.
02:16:14.000They've slowly but surely clamped down.
02:16:17.000From that Condoleezza Rice incident, that's where it was like, ooh, you could get in trouble for something that someone says on a radio show that isn't even, like, a guest.
02:19:19.000And the last thing that's exciting is things like Stern and things like Opie and Anthony, where you can have a guy who is just freewheeling, saying whatever he wants, doesn't have to worry about language restrictions, doesn't have to worry about anything.
02:19:33.000And the fact that he can get fired for saying the same things that he's always said on his show, Just saying them in a text message.
02:19:41.000They're so ignorant that they can't recognize that this is...
02:21:06.000You've got to recognize the entertainment quality, the entertainment aspect of that guy, the entertainment possibilities of keeping the show together.
02:21:13.000It's because without that, all you have is Stern.
02:21:16.000Obviously, you guys are still together and it'll still be a great show, but it's not the same show.
02:21:48.000You know, whatever, you know what I'm saying?
02:21:49.000You come up with some idea to do something completely free and wild on the internet.
02:21:55.000A big advertising push, buy billboards, Times Square, you know, fuck Sirius, we're doing it on the internet, you know, ONA is back and it's free.
02:22:28.000And we honestly don't know What we do from here, like again, Opie and I are doing the show, bringing guests in and just performing, and it's like we both feel the fucking loss of it.
02:22:42.000There would be a wonderful promotion vehicle for you guys to do Opie and Anthony live through Vice.
02:22:48.000They'll set you up with a studio, do it all online, do the show as a video online, and do the show, have it available as a podcast, free downloads.
02:25:05.000I'm just having a fucking panic attack.
02:25:07.000And moments like that though, they say Tarantino would fight his editor who passed away.
02:25:13.000But they said that she was such a big piece of his great success because she was so good at editing his stuff.
02:25:19.000And I heard they would have screaming matches because he didn't agree with her.
02:25:24.000But she, in a detached way, could see what worked from the outside.
02:25:28.000And I certainly didn't have a yelling match with anyone, but a lot of times I'm too close to it to see what works, and I would have been totally wrong about this, and I would have thrown that promo out and not used it, because I'm mostly in it.
02:25:40.000Yeah, you definitely would have been wrong.
02:26:40.000Well, with me, I'm just real lucky that I found a bunch of things that I like doing.
02:26:46.000All the things that I'm interested in, whether it's the links that I put up on Twitter, whether it's the articles I read, documentaries I watch, martial arts I do, whatever I'm doing, bow hunting, whatever I'm doing.
02:27:12.000When I was doing Fear Factor, and no woe is me, it was a great gig, paid a lot of money, used a lot of exposure and all that good stuff, but I didn't want to do it.
02:27:20.000I only did it because they wanted to pay me.
02:27:43.000I mean, it's not that I love everything I do, and there's always...
02:27:45.000You know, even with podcasts, there's podcasts that don't go well, or I don't like moments in them, and they will fuck with me, and I'll try to...
02:27:52.000But they fuck with me because I care, because I'm trying to make it better, and, you know, I'm trying...
02:27:56.000When you're doing anything where it's a flowing, sort of living thing, you're ad-libbing, and maybe I added too much, or maybe I didn't add enough, or maybe I was too low-energy, or maybe I was too high-energy...
02:28:08.000It's just because you care and if you care and if you're constantly trying to improve things and you're also taking chances and you're also Trying to innovate and trying to, you know, trying to be as loose and as open as possible.
02:28:22.000It's got to be things that don't go great.
02:28:24.000Yes, and you have to kind of, you know, you have to kind of leave the flaws in sometime.
02:28:29.000And one of the things I love so much about Mike Douglas, and it was such an imperfect thing in those shows.
02:28:36.000He was interviewing the Jackson 5 one time, and it was all of them.
02:28:39.000It was just a very slow interview because they were kids at the time.
02:28:42.000And he said to one of them, like, so I understand you're the prankster.
02:28:45.000And he's like, yeah, I like playing pranks.
02:30:30.000You have to always manage your energy.
02:30:32.000And if you're doing too many different things at the same time, like I do a lot of different things, it's a matter of making sure that you have enough.
02:30:47.000But all I think is, I should have asked him this.
02:30:49.000It's like there's never enough time to ask everything you want to ask.
02:30:52.000Even if you ask good questions, you're like, fuck, there was that one and that one and that one, and I missed it and I missed it.
02:30:57.000I did two podcasts with him, so I did like six hours worth of talking to him.
02:31:01.000The first one, though, I think we really got to the heart of everything because it was three hours long and he told everything, the whole CIA connection to the Iran-Contra affair.
02:31:17.000He was a fascinating guy and a very positive guy, man, for a guy who spent that much time in jail and very peaceful and a very interesting dude and really Earnestly working to help people not make the same mistakes that he made.
02:31:34.000It was hard for me to picture that guy in the role of Kingpin.
02:31:42.000And then as we were editing, we weren't chopping content on this one, it was just camera angles because of the way that I demanded the audience be set up.
02:31:50.000We couldn't just get a two shot because I didn't know that because I'm a fucking novice cunt.
02:31:53.000So we had to just fix a couple of camera angles.
02:31:55.000And there's a couple of moments where Rick's talking and I just saw his face and he was being pleasant.
02:32:44.000But how hard must it be when you've made $900 million selling drugs to not go back to selling drugs, to not go, I've got to figure out a way to do this and not get caught?
02:35:18.000If you go through fucking 30 million and now you're broke or whatever the amount was, I don't want to trust you with my financial decisions.
02:35:24.000Well, wasn't it even crazier than that?
02:35:26.000Like, he was spending, like, ungodly amounts of money to, like, refurbish this house, and then they had to stop halfway through it because he ran out of money.
02:36:09.000Well, that's the thing they do to you.
02:36:11.000That's the thing, especially unscrupulous contractors.
02:36:14.000Sometimes it's just hidden costs they don't see coming, but some of them, they get you hooked, and then once they got you hooked, they just keep the bills coming.
02:37:37.000Like, this is a car that you're paying for, and this guy's telling me, hey, look, if you don't want to spend X amount of money, we'll sell it, and we'll give you your money back.
02:38:52.000And you're fucking me out of my deal because someone's going to offer you an extra $30,000 or whatever this other person was offering them.
02:39:21.000Yeah, the tranny, the rear end, and the transmission.
02:39:24.000I know, I didn't even mean to add those things in that way.
02:39:27.000It wasn't meant to be a double entendre, but it fell into place correctly.
02:39:31.000But yeah, I'm in the middle of a thing with my house that's going great, and when you have something fixed in your house, And someone's doing it and they're doing a great job and it's all on time.
