In this episode, the boys talk about broadcasting, holograms, Orson Welles, pot, and the Eagles' new song Warm Smell of Kalitas by the Eagles. They also talk about what it's like to be in the early 20th century, and what it was like growing up in the 80s and 90s listening to the radio and watching old TV shows on the old school radio tower. They also get into the early days of the stock market crash, and they talk about when marijuana was legalized in the U.S. A.K.A. in the late 19th century.

00:00:18.000I mean, don't forget that this didn't exist when that term came up, so that probably would have encompassed this, too.
00:00:23.000I guess, but broadcast, for whatever reason to me, it feels like you're sending like a wired signal, like the old-school-y TV signal.
00:00:31.000Yeah, coming off the radio tower, yeah.
00:00:34.000Imagine what that must have been like when the first TVs came about, and you're sitting in your house, and all this time you've just been listening to the radio like an asshole.
00:00:42.000And then finally, they have this box that you can sit in front of, and you get to see an actual image.
00:00:48.000And it's moving around, and you know that the whole country's watching at the same time.
00:00:52.000They probably reacted to that the way we will react to holograms.
00:00:56.000Eventually, say you're in a live-action movie.
00:00:59.000Say movies you can be immersed in holograms.
00:01:03.000The way we look at that is how they probably look to TV, because the whole family would just sit around this shitty black and white box and just stare at it.
00:01:46.000It sounds like one of those things that is being pretty hard to prove.
00:01:49.000We're going to go back to 1930 and find out who killed themselves over an Orson Welles radio broadcast.
00:01:55.000People are going to be reluctant to talk about that slow uncle who blew his fucking brains out because he believed the actor man was telling the truth.
00:02:02.000He's probably depressed anyway because he's obviously a dope.
00:02:04.000He probably lost a lot of money in the market crash.
00:02:25.000I feel like, I want to say it ended in 33, and then marijuana became criminalized in 35. Was it legal before then or just not known?
00:02:33.000Yeah, it was legal before then, but they didn't call it marijuana.
00:02:35.000It was only called marijuana after William Randolph Hearst started printing these articles about blacks and Mexicans taking this new drug and raping white women, and they called it marijuana.
00:05:07.000Like, we'll go through one rehearsal like that night and then you just, you know, I always change stuff to make it sound like me and he doesn't care.
00:05:34.000He's funny too and and he's a weird guy like Tom is one of those guys like he's clean but he fucking murders on stage like you know a lot of times you watch a clean guy up there like oh you stink Papa's so good, man.
00:05:47.000He's a guy that you watch in the cell.
00:06:43.000I don't hear, maybe, again, because I'm not on the open mic thing anymore, but I don't, I remember that clean and dirty, and I've always thought, they thought there was so much more valor and cleanliness.
00:07:00.000You don't have to explore those thoughts on stage.
00:07:03.000But to pretend that somehow or another there's something wrong with somebody else exploring those thoughts on stage, whatever the fuck they are, that they can't be handled in a clever and hilarious way, everything can be.
00:07:13.000Well, they were looking at it like, there's a difference between just being, because you can be hacky and clean, too.
00:07:17.000Like, hacky dirty guys suck just as much as hacky clean guys do.
00:07:20.000I mean, it's just, you know, guys doing the, I don't find anything to be shocking, but you always know when a guy's up there trying to be shocking.
00:07:45.000There's some really filthy, funny guys.
00:07:47.000And every truly funny guy that all these people, whether it was Bill Hicks, who could be dirty when he cursed at least, or Pryor or Kinison or Carlin or Lenny Bruce, they were all filthy, and yet all these guys are like, well, dirty comedy.
00:07:58.000When you mention them, instead of just going, oh yeah, I'm an ass and I'm wrong, they go, well, you're not him.
00:08:56.000Like, you and I might have a different idea of what you think of as comedy.
00:08:59.000For you, it might be Henny Youngman, it might be, you know, whatever, fill in the blank.
00:09:03.000Fibber McGee and Molly 2. You know, whatever.
00:09:06.000You know, everybody's got their own style that they're into, but people would be like real adamant in the clean versus dirty camp.
00:09:13.000I don't think that exists anymore, and I think the internet has sort of like dissolved those boundaries.
00:09:17.000Well, as TV has gotten harsher too, it's like, you know, you didn't have, even in 1990, you had cable, but you didn't have channels like FX or all these, HBO wasn't really doing original programming, where you were actually just watching comedy shows that said fucking them all the time, so it was easier for them to do that, but now you just look like a dated douche.
00:09:35.000Sometimes I'll work material out, I'll take language out of it, because like, oh yeah, I want to try to do this on TV, so I've got to make sure my Tinder bit is funny, clean, because if I ever want to do it on TV, I don't want the punchline to be cunt lips, and then go, oh no, how do I take that out?
00:09:48.000Maybe I can go like, um, can I make a Charlie Callis noise and make it...
00:09:53.000That's where you get fucked up, when you have to start editing and cutening it up.
00:10:35.000If girls can shoot ping pong balls and stuff, like Stan Hope has that joke, or that bit rather, about when he was in Thailand and he went to some crazy lady who shoots bananas out of her pussy.
00:10:44.000She's like, would put the banana in and then chop it up, spitting it out one piece at a time.
00:11:14.000So if you're doing anything above that, you're impressive with your pussy.
00:11:17.000I was reading this article that this woman wrote, and I really wish I remember who she was.
00:11:22.000But she was arguing that size doesn't matter because if a chick isn't lazy, she can work on her pussy muscles to the point where she could enjoy any dick.
00:11:30.000I don't know if that's true or not, but she was kind of like...
00:12:09.000Someone just told me, some girl just told me a story yesterday, we had dinner, about a guy with a tiny, like a microcock, and she opened her fingers about three inches wide.
00:13:34.000I don't ever feel like I'm with another person for real.
00:13:37.000I always feel like I'm just looking at them through a window.
00:13:40.000So I kind of want to connect and I know I'm blocking myself.
00:13:43.000I know that by living this way, this constant fucking obsession and this constant thing for money is blocking me from really living with people.
00:15:24.000Normally I get off the plane from LA and the first thing I'm doing is texting dirty and I'm trying to go to the hotel and fucking look for all this shit and go to Eros and go to this one and set something up.
00:15:34.000So I have no connection with my manager or my friends out here.
00:15:37.000There's no real communication because all I'm thinking about is what I'm going to do after and I've got to end this fast so I can go there.
00:15:43.000It's like a fucking drug and it's like now I just want to stop I'll tell you why.
00:16:46.000But it's like that fucking, that thing blocking you, where you feel like I'm just not, there's nothing I'm gonna do that makes me feel like I'm a part of this group.
00:16:54.000Well, you should probably add something to your life.
00:17:26.000Unless you, like, really wholeheartedly dive into it, it seems like you're gonna get bored with just, like, lifting weights and running at the gym, unless that's your thing.
00:17:34.000You know, I think that's kind of gotta be done for the benefits of the exercise, if you're really gonna get psycho about that.
00:17:41.000But maybe a sport or a hobby or something, or, I mean, something...
00:17:46.000Like a game or even a martial art or something.
00:17:49.000Something where you're practicing something that you enjoy.
00:18:37.000I saw Ari there, but there's too many legit things I do with it.
00:18:42.000I send a lot of real texts, and I do like Twitter, and I do like being able to check my email and play chess, and all these things that are not deviant or piggish.
00:18:51.000A flip phone would annoy me more than it would help me, I think.
00:22:01.000You don't know that Jim is J-I-M. I have a Lexus that has a navigation feature that you're supposed to, you know, take me to 118 Hollywood Boulevard.
00:23:05.000I'll tell you what's frustrating about Siri, though, is when you're talking into it, you need a Wi-Fi connection or whatever, or a good connection.
00:23:11.000When you do a whole thing, you know, and I feel like, you know, I just don't know what I want to do with my life.
00:23:16.000I fire out a whole fucking chapter, and I look, and that fucking cocksucker circle is still spinning, and I realize nothing has been said.
00:23:22.000Like, it's just waiting to find somewhere to grab the information from.
00:23:53.000What I like about Android is that it's open, and that pretty much anybody can create apps for them, and there's just so much more variety.
00:24:02.000There's a lot of goddamn people who use it.
00:24:04.000What you don't like about iPhone is that it's difficult to get your app approved for the App Store, but that's also why so many of these things work so well.
00:24:12.000I think in some way it stifles innovation in a small way.
00:24:16.000You're tethered to the Apple, maybe, but they have such a pursuit of excellence.
00:24:23.000So I can totally see it from their point of view.
00:24:25.000And ultimately, the end product is better.
00:24:50.000I think five inches is the right size.
00:24:51.000Yeah, they have another newer version that's probably the same as the iPhone 6 Plus.
00:24:55.000Yeah, the 6, the Galaxy S6. It's just coming out, I think, like in a week or so.
00:24:59.000Oh, I don't know, they gave us a bunch of, they give us phones at Galaxy, and they're not bad phones, but for me, I'm just, this is, I think there's only one you can just go, that's my phone.
00:25:08.000I try both platforms, and it's like, ah, fuck it.
00:25:10.000But meanwhile, if we had an, if you had an Android, and that was the only option when they first came out, like, when the iPhone came out, you'd be like, oh my god, this is fucking amazing!
00:27:33.0007 to 11 in San Francisco, 11 to 13 in Florida, and then Boston.
00:27:40.000Yeah, so they didn't have the party lines back then.
00:27:42.000I don't know if they had or if it was just for poorer people.
00:27:44.000We weren't poor, but we didn't have a lot of money.
00:27:46.000I mean, my dad think we had to work at that point, or he was in and out of work from trucking, so maybe that was probably just a money-saving thing.
00:28:24.000We talked about this before on the show we have not you but the 1% everybody uses that that term the 1% top 1% of ruining everything to be 1% Globally the top 1% globally all you need to make is $34,000 a year Wow I didn't know that.
00:28:43.000That's, I mean, I wouldn't say if you made $34,000 a year you're poor, but it's not rich.
00:28:50.000It's certainly, you're in trouble if you have a family.
00:28:52.000If you're making $34,000 a year and you have children to feed, that's a fucking, that's not a lot of money.
00:28:58.000I guess it all depends on where you live, too.
00:28:59.000Even if you're single in New York, or, you know, you make a $34,000 a year, it's very hard to find a comfortable living space in New York and have a good life there if you're only making $34,000 a year.
00:32:15.000His immune system was just fucked and he couldn't figure out what was up and then he did some tests and he found out his house was infected with black mold.
00:32:44.000They have to cut the windows out, and cut the doors out, and cut the walls out, and then spray everything for this fucking mold shit, and kill all this mold.
00:32:52.000And they have to make sure they kill all of it.
00:32:56.000That stuff, like, all over your walls like that?
00:32:59.000Like, you guys were essentially walking through, like, air that was tainted by that fungus.
00:33:05.000Can you, can you, like, I have trouble taking deep breath once in a while, like...
00:33:10.000I can now but then I feel like I get something stops me and I can't like Anthony had a great way who said you Anthony Kumi is such a great way of describing anything and he said yeah you have trouble getting that last click and that's a deep breath for clicks and you had that final full breath yeah but there's times where I can't get to that full click like I get that a lot when I'm laying down and I have to prop myself up on my right elbow and And then I can take a deep breath.
00:33:34.000So I don't know if things are sitting wrong inside or whatever.
00:33:37.000Well, you know, you can do breathing exercises.
00:33:56.000And then I drag my outward breath for one minute.
00:33:59.000And it requires a lot of discipline because you start panicking.
00:34:02.000You know start panicking especially when you're breathing it out because you got to push out the whole breath You know so if I'm breathing in like I don't want to I don't want to give everybody the boring two-minute version of it, but I literally would go like this I'll like clean my system out and get ready and then I'll I
00:34:41.000don't know how long that was, but the first in was probably only about 30 seconds, probably about half.
00:34:44.000Yeah, I started getting, I was panicking.
00:34:57.000So like if you look at the seven right now on that clock right there, and just start it right there, like, and just give yourself a give yourself a little break, and go.
00:36:16.000But it's a good discipline for breath.
00:36:19.000And there's all sorts of different yoga breathing called pranayama and a bunch of other different names they have for different styles of breathing.
00:36:28.000But breath exercises are like you can exercise your lungs with like deep breathing exercises where you actually strengthen your lungs.
00:36:37.000And you can condition your lungs, and you can get used to breathing in a way.
00:36:42.000They have a type of breathing they call shamanic breathwork, where you can go into psychedelic states, like real drug-induced states, with no drugs.
00:36:52.000And you can do it all from this, what do they call it, holo-something breathing?
00:37:13.000Holotropic breathing is a practice that uses breathing and other elements to putatively, never use that word, allow access to non-ordinary states of consciousness.
00:38:04.000I wonder if it's just like a lot of, you know, you stand up too fast after breathing too fast, you can't like, this is how fucking much it's, I don't sleep for shit, I've bitched about my dumb sleep apnea for years, but I literally will go to the gym to work out, and my trainer has me do, like literally sometimes walking up the steps,
00:39:22.000I feel like there was some prostitution involved.
00:39:24.000He was arrested because there was an altercation in his room.
00:39:27.000And these girls, I guess he filmed them sucking his dick on his phone and they wanted more money.
00:39:32.000But I wish I could have sat down with them and said, Warren, sometimes when a girl is like that and she's freaking out and they want a few extra hundred and they'll leave, you gotta do it.
00:39:56.000So, maybe I'm confusing his story, and I believe I am, with Mike Tyson's story, because he was arrested in Phoenix, and he had cocaine on him.
00:40:44.000And I kind of said to her, I'm like, first of all, everyone I know knows I'm a pervert.
00:40:49.000Everyone that hears you on the radio she was on the radio all the people that oh She didn't know yeah like you have no idea the person you're actually talking to right now So I'm like do what you have to do, but you've literally just made a fucking have committed a felony through text You're trying to blackmail me for money a dope show that yes,
00:41:05.000I'm like, but then she's like well I wouldn't do it but somebody would I'm like whatever it is I'm like you're attempting to blackmail me, but I wasn't even mad at her But I said to her this is the point I said to her look Why don't we both just talk tomorrow when we have clearer heads and we're not...
00:42:28.000Eminem can self-deprecate, but that whole side of psychology is harder for those guys, because it's seen as weakness, and it's always got to be you and partying with a fat-ass girl in a car, and I came from nothing, and now I'm the shit, and fuck you, and it's like, God damn!
00:42:41.000Started from the bottom, now we're here.
00:43:32.000Hendrix had a manager that apparently, according to a guy who was once one of their roadies or their security guys, whatever the fuck it was, he just put out a book saying that he thinks that not only did the manager kill Hendrix, but he killed Hendrix's girlfriend, too.
00:44:22.000The book was arguing that Hendricks was leaving the manager, and the manager had a stranglehold on Hendricks for a bunch of stupid reasons, and one of them was that he had faked a kidnapping.
00:44:34.000He had kidnapped Jimmy and then rescued Jimmy.
00:44:37.000He had some people kidnap him and then said, look, I rescued you.
00:45:12.000And they believed that he really did have Jimi Hendrix kidnapped, and then stepped in to save him, you know, to let him know, you know, you better have loyalty to me.
00:45:21.000I'm going to keep you from all these bad guys.
00:46:31.000Yeah, in his new book, yeah, Rock Roadie, Wright claims that Jeffrey told him he plied Hendrix with pills and alcohol in order to kill him and claim on the guitar's life insurance.
00:47:06.000Look at this, but look at what he said.
00:47:08.000I was in London the night of Jimmy's death.
00:47:10.000We went around to Monica's hotel room, got a handful of pills and stuffed them in his mouth and poured a few bottles of red wine deep into his windpipe.
00:47:17.000Well, doesn't that seem there would be like some sign of struggle?
00:48:24.000Very good at using his reach, better than anybody ever.
00:48:26.000He's the very best at utilizing reach, and he's also very good at using techniques to keep people at bay.
00:48:34.000He uses a straight arm all the time, which is not good because he pokes guys in the eye occasionally.
00:48:40.000So he's got to make sure if he does do that, he puts palm to the forehead, fingers really pulled back, make sure that the fingers aren't an issue.
00:48:47.000Because it's a legit technique that comes from Muay Thai.
00:48:50.000In Muay Thai, you'll see a lot of that.
00:48:53.000They push off and then a leg kick, push off elbow, push off punch, but there's a lot of pushing off.
00:48:59.000Because they're doing different than boxing where they're utilizing all these other techniques like kicks and elbows and knees and stuff.
00:49:05.000So pushing off and then pushing into clinching, all that is like a valid part of that style of striking.
00:49:12.000And it's probably one of the most effective styles of striking.
00:49:14.000Johnson's really fucking good at Muay Thai.
00:49:17.000He's got a really good Dutch kickboxing coach, this guy Henry Hooft, who is the lead trainer of the Black Zillions, which is a Florida-based crew.
00:49:26.000That has a lot of high-level strikers come through.
00:50:17.000His power is ridiculous, and it's incredible that this guy started off his career in the UFC at 170, and now he's at 205. At 205, he's just smashing people.
00:50:27.000Not only did he not lose power going up 35 fucking pounds of competition weight, not even body weight.
00:51:41.000Well, I tell people, like, one of the funnest times I ever had in Vegas was a time where I didn't have a gig scheduled, and it was you and me and Red Band and Bobby Kelly and Anthony.
00:54:24.000There's a special coming out Friday the 24th, which is why I'm in L.A. And I'm really happy with it.
00:54:29.000You always have to say that about your latest project, but I actually really like this one, but I'm already moving on, because I've got to drop all that fucking material, and it's an hour of stuff that I no longer talk about.
00:55:03.000It's like my greatest fear is to be inadequate like I feel sexually inadequate all the time and Contextually inadequate.
00:55:08.000I'm afraid that what I'm saying is meaningless So it just tied in it just felt right because it's my two greatest fears So I put them together and made one mediocre special.
00:55:18.000You're hilarious But I thank you but I like it like you know a lot of times you shoot something Normally you like it in hindsight like I'll like something I shot like a year later But, you know, now I'm like, yeah, I'm really happy with this.
00:55:32.000You know, just a lot of shit that, you know, felt new.
00:55:36.000That's so important because one of the things that happens to comics when they hold on to their material too long is that they don't think like that anymore.
00:56:31.000It's jimnorton.com, and it just feels like it's mine.
00:56:35.000What I was gonna say is that for me at least Doing new material is really important like at the end of a cycle like see you got a two-year cycle for me It's like two years seems to be if I do a special every one year that it's just too rushed that I'm not honing the material enough I'm not giving my perspective chance enough to grow on stage and it's like I'll do way more than I need to in those two years and then I'll whittle it down to what I really like When that time comes,
00:57:04.000you know, but then it forces me when I abandon it and start with new stuff, my perspective is always refreshed.
00:57:11.000I think as a person, you're constantly re-evaluating things.
00:57:15.000And as a stand-up, you kind of have to be.
00:57:17.000You have to always be looking for what's funny about something, what's interesting.
00:57:54.000It's like when you're fucking reading the paper every day and you're talking about stuff every day, you're formulating opinions because you're talking about something long form for six minutes or ten minutes, and then you just start getting an idea about it, and you create something.
00:58:06.000Yeah, but the people that are, like, really wacky hardcore fans, they get upset if you talk about something on the radio, and then that becomes a bit.
00:58:17.000They don't know what they want, because the criticism is, again, 50% say this, 50% say that.
00:58:23.000I think it's even more than 50% say they like being in on the creative process.
00:58:26.000Like, oh, I remember when you first brought that up.
00:58:28.000But there's people that are just looking to complain.
01:00:13.000And it's like, if I don't give them that, instead of realizing maybe that's not where the truth lies for me, they think I'm not being honest.
01:00:21.000Yeah, but you're evaluating the minds of retards.
01:00:23.000Like, you're looking into these really dopey people for logic and reasoning.
01:00:28.000There's just a bunch of people that are just cunts.
01:00:30.000No matter what you're doing, if you really concentrate too much about what they're saying, you're gonna, you get crazy.
01:00:35.000It's like you're taking in crazy input.
01:00:37.000But there are times where they're right.
01:00:39.000And there are, like with my stand-up or other things that they've criticized, I, and this is why they annoy me, it's like...
01:00:45.000It's like, hey dummies, I've actually given you guys credit when you're right.
01:00:48.000I really meant it when I've said there are times when they say things that are really smart and intuitive and they fucking nail one of my shitty habits or my verbal crutches or whatever.
01:02:44.000And again, guys, you guys had medication.
01:02:47.000Fucking slow down with the eight paragraphs.
01:02:50.000But if you send me an email and go, look, this is what I don't like about the show, and I feel you guys are doing this too much, I really do read it, and I really do listen to what you say.
01:02:57.000A lot of times I don't agree with it, and there's times where I write you back, but I'm not that irrational where somebody will be critical.
01:04:13.000How much more can I say to fans, I appreciate what you do and I do appreciate your input, than standing there like a fucking dumb jizz bucket.
01:05:05.000It's like some of them just are hilarious.
01:05:07.000Well, it's also, they're not realizing that you're just a person.
01:05:11.000For some reason, when you think of someone as being a famous comedian, you think of them being way out there in New York, or wherever the fuck they are at the moment, you're tweeting at them, and they're tweeting back.
01:05:22.000Like, that doesn't even seem real to a kid.
01:05:24.000If you're an 18-year-old kid, and you're living in Cleveland, and you get on your iPhone, and you're like, fuck you, you jizzbucket, to you.
01:05:32.000And then you're like, fuck you, I didn't say anything to you, asshole.
01:05:47.000Well, I do enjoy going to people's Twitter pages when they all day long are in legitimate fights.
01:05:53.000Like, one of the things I noticed, this group that likes to call themselves social justice warriors, or they get disparagingly referred to as social justice warriors, there's a bunch of these people that I follow, and some of them that even, I'm on a blocked list.
01:06:53.000Like if your Twitter feed is just constant complaining about everything in the world, and then arguments with people that are disagreeing with you that end up in horrible insults, Maybe it's you.
01:07:46.000You basically, here's what they say, like, Jim, I'd like to walk up to you and go, fuck you in your face, and then walk away without you saying anything.
01:10:01.000We'd be in like a really nice steakhouse and the waiter would come over and she would order like the salmon and then Chip just goes, how much is that?
01:10:09.000And would ask the waiter and she was like, do you know how humiliating it is that people think I fucked that guy?
01:10:54.000But what happened was my girlfriend at the time, who's now my best friend, she's my ex-girlfriend from years ago, she hated Eugene so much.
01:11:01.000And I mean, it wasn't even funny anymore because we would do it and she would dig her fingernails into my face.
01:11:07.000She dug her nails into my face because I think Eugene hit a spot with her.
01:14:48.000I like listening to Uncle Paul or Chip because they don't sound like me.
01:14:52.000So I'll go back and listen to fucking Chip and I laugh like I've never heard it before because I don't remember saying it.
01:14:56.000I mean I remember doing it but I don't...
01:14:58.000In those moments you're not fucking paying attention.
01:15:01.000So in those moments you are really thinking like that guy.
01:15:04.000Oh, yeah, it's never thought through, ever.
01:15:06.000And I'll listen sometimes and remember it, and I'll listen to it like somebody who's like, oh, yeah, no, you really are thinking in that...
01:15:25.000Instead of just talking to my fucking, you know, dumbball fucking friends on the radio, and Bob Kelly's there.
01:15:30.000You know, there's no pressure with your buddies.
01:15:32.000But it's almost like, why is one so comfortable, where there's zero planning in it, and it's just going to be, you're talking about whatever you think of for five minutes, and you know it has to be funny, and you know it has to move a story along.
01:16:47.000There was at one point with Jen, and Jen, the reason she's working on this animation with me, because literally her and my manager Jonathan and Club Soda Kenny have dealt with these people in their personal lives more than any of you have ever heard them on the radio.
01:17:01.000There was, of course, there was Chip, and there was Jelly, and there was Edgar Mellencamp and Eugene Mellencamp, and I did kill off Eugene.
01:17:10.000There was, she remembered Sheldon, who was, there was another one called the Sushi Kid, who was just a guy who kind of talked like Rich Vought, but like sushi, and talked all about sushi.
01:20:36.000I like switching through the channels and listening to different music, or listening to Howard, then listening to you guys, then listening to...
01:21:54.000Like, there's areas of Topanga where you're driving through the canyon, and there's just this canopy of trees overhead, and it just blocks out the satellite.
01:22:05.000And let's promote Jimmy's special that is on Epix coming up real soon.
01:22:12.000Contextually inadequate April 24th on epics and epics is the same network that was airing deep web on May 31st which is our friend Alex winter who is here yesterday or the day before yesterday and So epics is doing some fucking cool shit and Jim has already done one special on epics already so this will be his second special on epics and Everybody asks you about tonight at the Ice House is sold out.
01:25:55.000Burr was saying that same thing, actually.
01:25:57.000Burr was saying that, you know, sometimes he needs to do things, and that's why I think he got into helicopter flying.
01:26:02.000He actually was doing a bit on helicopter flying.
01:26:05.000He decided, well, I'll fucking actually take some lessons.
01:26:08.000And then in taking lessons, he actually wound up enjoying it.
01:26:11.000Well, it's funny you say that because that's another part of me not wanting to be such a piece of shit anymore sexually because you feed on only the same thing and there's nothing new coming into my life.
01:26:33.000I've been very lucky in comedy, but there's so many fun things to do.
01:26:37.000Just go out with someone somewhere without a goal of sexual whatever or just, you know, go away for the night to a little dumb town and go shopping or just do some fucking dumb shit that people do that's fun.
01:26:47.000That's relaxing and normal and normal human beings do it.
01:27:25.000It's really a fucking load coming out really brings you right back to reality.
01:27:28.000Isn't it funny though that part of being like a funny guy like the way you are is is Dependent upon like impulsive behavior and thoughts like there's something about like the actual creation of a bit like an Improv line a hilarious improv line a lot of that is like impulsive things sure Yeah,
01:27:47.000if somebody will yell something or you just think of something and you say it even though if you thought it through you might not say it.
01:32:41.000What's the like who's to say what's right and that's where I'm kind of just whatever I don't even know what I'm saying Joe I'm just kind of no I know exactly what you're saying I think the sports guys if they're saying something that's absolutely mean and vicious and nasty and you don't want them representing your organization so if you have an organization if you have a team or if you have ESPN it makes sense to me that people are getting fired for saying mean shit But where is it?
01:33:08.000It gets problematic when it's a difference of opinion.
01:33:11.000And it's not necessarily a mean, insulting thing or a negative thing, but it's a philosophical difference of opinion.
01:33:19.000You know, like sometimes people say things, and although it's not smart what they said, what they said probably shouldn't get them fired.
01:33:27.000There's just a gray area when it comes to some of these things.
01:33:30.000Well, if everyone was honest, I would say yeah, but they're not.
01:33:33.000What happens is a guy like Trevor Noah does his tweets a few years ago, and then they go back, and they know their jokes, but they lie.
01:33:38.000And they go, look at this hateful thing about Jews.
01:35:22.000They get in their head, they get sweaty thinking about ringdings and ho-hos and cakes and burgers and just a fucking sheer joy of gluttony and giving into it.
01:35:32.000Yeah, ringdings are fucking awesome though, I gotta be honest.
01:35:34.000I have friends that have food addictions, and I've been around them when they satisfy those addictions.
01:36:23.000Morbidly obese by anyone's definition But she did like would gain like a little 10 pounds here a little 20 right there and it bothered her and What bothered her was that it would obsess her all day and she would talk about what she ate I had a fat-free muffin I had a this and I had a that and it became like almost this on Like this this battle that she could never win She was on this crazy yo-yo they could she just she knew that she wasn't supposed to have the ice cream So she had to eat the ice cream,
01:36:49.000you know it and then whoa The way she fixed it is yoga.
01:36:56.000And yoga, somehow or another, balanced her brain out.
01:37:00.000And the effort of doing the yoga boosted her metabolism.
01:37:05.000And she started eating really healthy because she got more conscious of her body.
01:37:10.000Instead of just, like, she had to always exercise, she was always, like, pretty fit, but she just would do, like, running or lift a little weights or something like this, but this got her into doing yoga, and then she became, like, really obsessed with eating healthy foods and taking care of her body,
01:37:25.000and, you know, then she turned out great.
01:37:29.000Yeah, she figured it out, which is cool when someone figures it out, but it was bizarre being, you know, I've been next to friends, like, guy friends that have it, But they just go in hog wild and gluttony.
01:38:58.000Like for whatever reason like I know a lot of guys that have either a sexual addiction or some sort of drug addiction or a gambling addiction or some sort of addiction.
01:39:09.000I know guys that have relationship addictions.
01:39:12.000Where their addiction is to be constantly in conflict in their relationships, and they never straighten it out.
01:39:18.000And they're always scared to be alone, and they're scared to lose a gal, and then they fight like cats and dogs, and they always, I gotta get away from her.
01:39:34.000Where you just back and forth and back and forth, and that conflict becomes like what you were talking about with the sex, where you never see yourself.
01:40:58.000And some of them were blue, some of them had jalapeno in them, some of them had extreme amounts of caffeine in them, and guarana, and they had skulls and all these different weird, artsy labels.
01:41:10.000And there was this supermarket in North Hollywood that used to sell them down the street from my apartment.
01:41:14.000And I would go and I would buy them by the fucking crate.
01:41:17.000I would buy like everything they had when they would get new shipments in.
01:41:21.000I even contacted the people that made the soft drink.
01:41:24.000They had a warehouse in the factory and I said, can I come to your warehouse and just buy some cases of your shit?
01:41:29.000And it had like all sorts of different hot peppers in it and crazy, but it was super caffeinated and I would drink this stuff and just play video games just all night.
01:42:29.000The problem is, if you have some other stuff that you want to do in your life, you got to know, like, what you, like, if I get addicted to jujitsu, here's a perfect example.
01:42:39.000I can't do jujitsu but an hour and a half a day.
01:42:46.000There's only a certain amount of hours in a day that you can roll.
01:42:49.000Because you're straining your fucking cardio, and you're trying to survive, and you're trying to kill, and you're fucking constantly moving, and you're constantly trying to better your position and defend, and after a while you're done.
01:43:12.000If you get the right caffeine in you, and you've got the right kind of addictive game, especially if you have friends, and you're playing together.
01:44:03.000Get there, but as a form of entertainment, they're fucking awesome, and even better today than ever before.
01:44:08.000You know, it's funny, because I was in one of the Grand Theft Autos, I had like a little line or whatever, and I tried playing it.
01:44:14.000Laszlo, this guy Laszlo came in to Opie and Anthony, and I kept, I played it at home once, I backed into the fence six times and said, fuck this.
01:44:22.000I am such an uncoordinated twat that I just couldn't make it work.
01:44:26.000I literally look back on that, and I go, thank God you backed out of the fence, because I know that it would have been fun.
01:44:33.000Well, once you figure out how to use the controllers in a video game, and really they become like a part of the way you move, like with Quake, every guy had like a script that he would run, that he would load up, like a profile script for the speed of your mouse, for the shape of your character,
01:44:48.000for your name, and you can upload it, like you could have it as a text file on your computer, and you upload it into the game, And then like that would be like your speed of your mouse.
01:44:58.000Some people like the mouse to move really fast.
01:45:00.000Some people like the mouse to move really slow.
01:45:06.000Like your POV could be either 90 or 120. Some guys would spread it out and give you like a fisheye lens and allow you to see more shit on your screen.
01:45:14.000And some guys liked that and some guys didn't.
01:45:16.000But it was this thing that it became like really specific so that you got super used to the amount of movement that you would do with your fingers And how that would calculate into movement on screen, and your brain synced up to it.
01:45:28.000So then you didn't even think about moving your fingers.
01:45:47.000Well, the reason is, when you use a mouse, a mouse and a keyboard is the most accurate form of controller for video games so far.
01:45:55.000You can get a lot done with one of those Xbox controllers, but you're never going to get the type of pinpoint accuracy in a first-person shooter, especially.
01:46:34.000And he just had this this super tight Tuned-in sense of what the cursor was doing on the screen as he was moving And if you watch some of the really high-level Quake guys when they would play in what these things are called They're called demos and they can make a demo and then they could upload the demo and you could watch a match take place from their point of view right and you could see how How well they move in the game and it was just like my god like when you get to the really high levels of the game it's insanely adrenaline filled
01:47:04.000because you're going down dark corridors people are shooting at you you're shooting at them your health is deteriorating before your eyes you're running to try to get more health you're running to try to get armor and new weapons and you're trying to control the map and waiting for the new weapon to respawn you got to get to this area within five seconds you have to time it all out in your head you have to know the map inside and out It becomes insanely addictive.
01:47:27.000And the rush, the actual rush that you would get from these games is incredible.
01:50:02.000And I realize that the air is blowing out the side of the mask.
01:50:05.000It's like everything, nothing syncs up right despite my best efforts.
01:50:09.000And it's almost like you're always taught if you do the right thing, the right thing.
01:50:11.000I've done all the legwork and I'm still getting fucking dogshit results and it makes me nuts.
01:50:16.000It makes me so, I want to smash my face through a fucking window because I've done the right stuff and I still can't fall asleep.
01:50:23.000And your sleep, maybe someone listening to this can shed some light or help you out in some sort of a way.
01:50:28.000Probably not, though, because I bet you've talked about this on the radio enough times where someone has explored all the options with you.
01:50:33.000Yeah, I have something called complex apnea.
01:50:36.000It's central apnea, and it's obstructive.
01:50:39.000Like, I was falling asleep on the plane.
01:50:40.000I flew out here today, and it felt like someone just fucking put a sock in my mouth.
01:50:46.000It was like my fucking dumb tongue lolled back over my throat.
01:50:50.000But if it's not that, because I have a mouth guard I use, not the one you use, but I have one that does hold my jaw forward, then it's the central apnea.
01:50:57.000When my tongue's not blocking things, my brain just goes, don't breathe.
01:51:01.000So the ASV machine I have, which I've tried CPAP and APAP and BiPAP and all that shit, ASV is the combination that's supposed to work with complex apnea.
01:53:29.000So, Ant, you know, Opie said a few things on Twitter or on the show that Ant, I think, misinterpreted or even interpreted right and got mad.
01:53:39.000They're fucking snipping at each other.
01:53:41.000And then when Opie went back at him the next day, like after Ant really said some stuff on the compound show, Opie came back and he was pissed off.
01:53:48.000And I was in a weird position only because I'm like, I'm not going to sit here and just play devil's advocate for Anthony because Ant needs to do that.
01:57:32.000He said, when everybody rushes for the door, they get stuck.
01:57:36.000But if everybody walks out of the room one at a time, everyone gets out, and then you can section them off into people by height and people by color and couple them off.
01:59:08.000They say, would you like to write something about Trevor Noah?
01:59:11.000Do you have a relationship with them when they do that?
01:59:12.000Yeah, they'll write to me and say, would you write...
01:59:15.000Something about Trevor or they've written me when Robin died like would you like to write something?
01:59:19.000I'm like yeah But they asked me about Joan Rivers.
01:59:21.000I said no only because I loved her But I wasn't I just felt like so many people gonna be eulogizing let people who are better qualified to do it because I really didn't know her So if Joan Rivers was like Patrice you would have written something Of course, if they asked me to.
01:59:34.000But again, it was only like I didn't know her well enough, and I would have been talking about her, but not from a knowledgeable point of view as someone who interacted with Joan a lot.
02:07:44.000And I also heard that fucking when Johnny was eulogizing his son on The Tonight Show, fucking Fred DeCordova, who was his exec producer, gave him the rap sign to move it because a commercial was coming.
02:07:56.000And I heard that Carson never forgave him either.
02:07:58.000And he was never allowed on the floor of The Tonight Show again.
02:08:50.000I still remember, I told you, I remember your Mike Tyson joke about how scary it must have been when fucking Mike showed up and Brad Pitt was with me.
